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

Chapter 9 The Gift of the Emerald God

"You!" A nameless flame suddenly ignited in Dugu Yan's beautiful eyes.

Clearly... she really did nothing wrong; her poison hasn't killed a single person to this day.

But why... why is everyone afraid of her?

Dugu Yan's beautiful eyes grew increasingly dim, slowly sinking downwards.

The resentment in her heart was like a poison, eroding her.

If everyone is truly afraid of me because of my poison, and thinks I'm a poison-using woman who kills people indiscriminately...

Then I'll do as they wish!

This self-destructive thought suddenly popped into Dugu Yan's mind.

A hint of ruthlessness flashed in her beautiful eyes, and the idea grew increasingly powerful in her mind.

It seemed as if it wanted to completely devour her.

But just then...

"Sigh..." A sigh came from the side.

Ning Feiliu slowly walked out and headed towards Dugu Yan.

Everyone was filled with fear as they watched his audacious act.

He approached Dugu Yan and their eyes met.

Dugu Yan looked at the handsome but thin young man in front of her and felt a little strange.

She didn't know Ning Feiliu at all, so how did she suddenly appear in front of her?

Ning Feiliu looked around and said calmly, "Don't worry, the toxins in her body won't kill anyone easily."

"At least……"

He paused for a moment, then added, "It's not something that would kill an ordinary person if they touched it."

However, the people still looked at Dugu Yan with fear in their eyes, seemingly not believing Ning Feiliu's statement.

Upon seeing this, Ning Feiliu turned around and suddenly grabbed Dugu Yan's slender hand, then directly touched it to his handsome face.

This shocked the surrounding crowd.

Isn't Ning Feiliu courting death?

He actually let that poisonous woman's hand touch his face.

Dugu Yan was also very surprised, her beautiful eyes filled with shock, curiosity and incomprehension.

Ning Feiliu felt that Dugu Yan's palm was very cold, like a cold venomous snake.

But it didn't make him feel uncomfortable.

After three or four seconds, he released Dugu Yan's hand, looked around, and said calmly, "You saw that I touched Miss Dugu Yan, but I didn't die immediately."

"Don't worry, although Miss Dugu Yan's poison is potent, it's a family secret technique. It's impossible for her to lose control of her poison and kill someone without cause."

Seeing that Ning Feiliu seemed to be alright, the people began to trust his words more.

"It seems... this young man isn't lying."

"Yes! After all, they're a family known for their poisons, how could they not control the toxins in their bodies?"

"That's nonsense. Look at this young man, he's perfectly fine."

"It seems that it really was a rumor."

……

Facts speak louder than words. After Ning Feiliu personally tested the law, the people gradually seemed to believe his claims.

So everyone naturally began to disperse.

They no longer cared about Dugu Yan.

After resolving the matter, Ning Feiliu looked at the mother who was still holding her child and looking very worried.

"Alright...it's all over..." He was just about to comfort the mother and tell her to take her child and leave, to end the matter...

When Ning Feiliu's gaze shifted to the child inside the mother's body, something unexpected happened...

[After curing 100 sick patients, I received a gift from the Emerald God—a 10% increase in my ability to learn pharmacology.]

Another mission has appeared!

And it was such an unexpected mission.

Unlike previous missions, this time the task is to heal patients, and not just the one in front of me, but one hundred patients to complete the mission.

but……

Ning Feiliu looked at the sick little boy in front of her with burning eyes.

The reward for this task is pretty good too: a gift from the Emerald God that increases pharmacology learning ability by 10%.

This is exactly what he needs to improve his learning ability!

So he went straight to the child and said, "He doesn't look well right now, may I take a look?"

The mother looked at Ning Feiliu in front of her and hesitated for a moment.

But when they thought about what he had just done, they realized that he had saved the mother and son.

So she nodded again, holding the child and facing Ning Feiliu.

Ning Feiliu looked at the child's pale face and abnormal flush.

He went straight up and touched the child's forehead, and sure enough... the fever was very high.

Based on my past life experience, that's a fever that's almost 38 degrees Celsius.

Moreover, it appears to have severe dehydration symptoms, and based on the experience Singid instilled into Ning Feiliu's mind, there may also be pneumonia.

Fortunately, the Compendium of Materia Medica contains a medicinal decoction for treating this disease.

"A cold-dispelling soup and Ice Jade Pills," Ning Feiliu said softly. "They can reduce fever and inflammation. Then drink more hot water and rest for a while, and you'll be fine."

"But...we don't have money to buy medicine..."

The mother said in a low voice.

Looking at her tattered clothes, Ning Feiliu sighed. Yes, for them, where would they get the money to see a doctor?

This is, after all, a worldview that is close to ancient times.

Especially in Douluo Continent, finished medicines are very expensive.

Ordinary people don't have as much money as Ning Feiliu.

"How about this?" Ning Feiliu pondered for a long time, "If that doesn't work, you can buy three of these herbs: Turkey Comb, Yangjue Grass, and Glauber's Salt."

From his perspective, the three herbs that truly play the most important role in the formulas for Quhan Tang and Bingyu Dan should be these three herbs.

The others only have the effects of calming the mind and nourishing the body's vital energy.

The truly effective medicinal ingredients that can dispel cold and reduce inflammation should be found in these three herbs.

After all, these alchemy practices aren't about chemical synthesis, where you put medicinal herbs together, boil them over a fire, and let the active ingredients in the herbs blend together to create new active ingredients.

That's a possibility, but Ning Feiliu thinks the probability is very small.

It's highly likely that some of the medicinal herbs contain active ingredients that can produce such effects.

Based on Singed and Lena's empiricism, it is very likely that these are three of the medicinal herbs.

Buying just three medicinal herbs is much cheaper than buying finished medicine directly.

Ning Feiliu didn't want to help others directly; such meaningless giving would only make people think that it was her duty to be kind to them.

The saying goes, "Give a man a hand in an emergency, but don't give him a hand in a lifetime."

He can help the mother, but he can't contribute both money and effort himself.

At the very least... this mother should also give something in return.

The child's true recovery depends on the mother.

The mother gritted her teeth, then took out three copper soul coins from her pocket. "Is this... enough?"

"That's enough." Ning Feiliu nodded, then said, "You can go to the clinic in the back to buy it... I'll go with you."

I'm going back to sweep the tombs today, one update.
