Douluo Continent: From Seven Treasure Glazed Tile to Crescent Moon's Solemnity

Chapter 6 Heimerdinger

When Ning Feiliu saw these entries appear, a hint of joy immediately appeared in her eyes.

Just as he expected, as long as he came into contact with items such as pills and herbs, he could trigger quests related to Singed.

However, this requires obtaining a detailed prescription in order to complete the mission.

This seems a bit difficult.

but……

It's not that there's no way out.

Ning Feiliu looked at Ji Boda and said, "Doctor, I actually have a favor to ask. Could I simply buy these prescriptions with money?"

Ji Boda frowned, looking troubled. "Young Master Ning, this..."

"I'll offer one Gold Soul Coin, what do you think?" Ning Feiliu said, taking out a Gold Soul Coin directly.

"This prescription is a family heirloom..." Ji Boda's eyes lit up, but he quickly shook his head, sighed, and said.

However, Ning Feiliu chuckled, "Doctor, that's not right of you. Aren't these pills common medicines in clinics? How did they become your family heirloom?"

At the same time, he subtly revealed the jade pendant at his waist, which represented his status as a direct disciple of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

This is a way of revealing one's identity and putting pressure on Ji Boda.

Upon seeing this, Ji Boda's pupils contracted slightly, and he said somewhat awkwardly, "I didn't expect Young Master Ning to know..."

He actually saw that Ning Feiliu was so young and was so generous, as if she had never seen these pills before, so he lied and said they were his family heirlooms, hoping to scam Ning Feiliu.

However, Ning Feiliu saw his expression just now, and considering that the Douluo Continent world itself is a world where "all other things are inferior, only martial spirits are superior."

Aside from their martial spirit, they rarely put any effort into studying other aspects.

Especially in medicine and pharmacology, taking pills is not as effective as a healing soul master's healing soul skill. As a result, the development of medicine and pharmacology depends entirely on the flashes of inspiration from certain geniuses.

And then these things will probably remain unchanged for hundreds or thousands of years, without any improvement or innovation, and will continue to be used.

This also proves that in the Douluo Continent, ordinary people simply cannot afford to spend the time and energy to research any prescriptions.

Everyone is eager to spend all their time cultivating their soul power and improving their cultivation level.

In Ning Feiliu's opinion, the main reason is that there are no pills or rare treasures in the Douluo world that can improve cultivation or assist in cultivating soul power. Looking at the original text, apart from the Xuan Shui Pill in Douluo II, the only things that can directly improve cultivation are those immortal herbs.

The immortal herb was known only to Tang San, who had transmigrated from another world, and it could enhance one's cultivation.

As for the Xuan Shui Dan, that was something for the second stage of the Dou Di battle. So, during the first stage of the Dou Di battle, pills and herbs were not valued.

That's why Ning Feiliu suspected that Ji Boda was deliberately bluffing him earlier. He pretended that he had seen through Ji Boda's trick and, on a whim, bluffed Ji Boda in the same way.

Then, by using his status as a direct descendant of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to exert some pressure, Ji Boda confessed immediately.

"Young Master Ning, the prescriptions you requested are all in this Compendium of Prescriptions." Ji Boda didn't waste any words and directly took out a book from behind him.

The book didn't look old; it looked like a newly printed book, with the words "Compendium of Prescriptions" prominently displayed on it.

Ning Feiliu nodded, placed the gold soul coin on the table, and handed it over.

Ji Boda took the gold soul coin and smiled.

After all, his cultivation level is Soul Master. Once you reach Soul Master or above, you can no longer go to the Spirit Hall to receive Soul Master subsidies, and you have to rely on yourself.

Although one gold soul coin is not as valuable as a Soul Master's one hundred gold soul coins, it is still money.

Moreover, he only bought the book "Compendium of Materia Medica" for one silver soul coin, but now he's reselling it to Ning Feiliu for ten times the price—it's practically a steal!

Ning Feiliu actually knew that his price was too high, but as long as he got what he wanted, what did it matter if he gave others some benefits?

Besides, it's only a gold soul coin, not a very expensive item, so there's no need to be so stingy and not be able to bear even the slightest loss.

Besides, is this considered a loss?

Ning Feiliu flipped to the location of the prescriptions for the four pills and looked through them all.

"Three qian each of Crimson Flame Deer Blood and Deer Antler, three qian of Chongning, two qian of Tranquilizing Herb... mix with honey and dew, then roll into balls..."

"Five coins for the King of the Earth's Shell, two coins for the Azure Blood Flower..."

"One volcanic blood lotus plant, six qian of soft-boned rabbit bone powder..."

……

And so, after Ning Feiliu reviewed them one by one, the tasks he had just created were completed.

Those four lines of small characters reappeared before his eyes, then shattered one by one, transforming into experience and knowledge that flooded into his mind.

Adding to Singed's original one-year apprenticeship experience, now it's Singed's two-year apprenticeship experience, plus his five and a half years of experience after officially becoming an alchemist, all of which are vividly integrated into Ning Feiliu's mind.

At the same time, he found that he seemed to be gradually able to understand why these prescriptions were combined in this way, but although he could understand, he frowned at this moment.

At this moment, Ning Feiliu had an idea: if the main useful components of these medicinal herbs could be extracted, the effect would probably be better than making them into pills.

He didn't know why this idea suddenly popped into his head.

But Ning Feiliu thought about it and realized that this was probably due to the different way of thinking that Singed's experience gave him.

The knowledge Singed learned was not traditional medicine, but rather modern medicine, which was closer to what he had learned in his previous life.

Modern medicine is different from traditional medicine. Modern medicine does not make pills directly from individual medicinal materials. Instead, it extracts the most useful components for certain diseases while ensuring that the medicinal effect is maintained.

Then, other compounds such as starch, cellulose, and magnesium stearate are used to make a shell to encapsulate the active ingredients, thus creating a tablet.

Based on Singed's experience, these prescriptions from Douluo Continent were primitive and uncivilized, an insult to his knowledge.

Under the influence of this, Ning Feiliu also felt that this was somewhat inefficient, but he didn't think much of it.

He closed the book immediately, but just then, he saw another line of small print appear on the page of the "Compendium of Materia Medica".

[Improve any three prescriptions in the prescription catalog to obtain Heimerdinger's thinking pattern]

Can medical books trigger quests?

And it's even the thinking pattern of the great inventor Heimerdinger?

In the lore, the great inventor Heimerdinger is Piltover's chief scientist, and as a Yordle, he has an unknown lifespan, making him truly erudite.

However, Heimerdinger's research leans more towards mechanical technology, and his knowledge and experience are not suitable for Ning Feiliu at present.

However, since they are both engaged in scientific research, they have similarities. His top-scientist way of thinking might be able to help Ning Feiliu in the future.
