Chapter 32: World Rune | Pharmacology

After bidding farewell to Dugu Yan, Ning Feiliu first cooked a simple meal for himself to eat his fill.

Then, however, he did not immediately begin to cultivate.

Nor did he start experimenting with the bottle of venom from Dugu Yan.

Instead, he sat at the stone table next to the laboratory, looking at the prescriptions in the "Compendium of Prescriptions," while taking out some draft paper.

This was because...

The task: 【Improve any three prescriptions in the Compendium of Prescriptions to obtain Heimerdinger's thinking pattern】.

Just a moment ago, an idea had suddenly surfaced in Ning Feiliu's mind.

"For the Deer God Hemostasis Pill, can I use the extracted anti-inflammatory components to make the medicine? Would that count as an improvement?"

"The Snake Venom Antidote Pill could also be made by directly substituting the anti-venom components extracted from violet corydalis."

And the reward for this task of Ning Feiliu's was Revitalization from the Resolve tree of Runes.

The Resolve and Inspiration trees seemed a bit safer; at least they didn't appear to have the capability to instantly blow up an entire city.

Mastering a Rune was not as simple as just triggering an Electrocute in a game.

He immediately wrote down these three prescriptions, using the effective medicinal components extracted and purified from the corresponding herbs, alongside the original ingredients, onto his draft paper.

It was one of the Domination-tree Runes that had destroyed Noxii, the hometown of Ryze, causing Noxii to instantly become a massive crater that was quickly submerged by seawater and vanished from this world forever.

The Rune system itself is divided into five major categories: Domination, Precision, Resolve, Sorcery, and Inspiration.

However, things like Arcane Comet and Scorch in the Sorcery tree were definitely not that safe either.

I fear they could turn a place like Heaven Dou City completely upside down!

But the Resolve, Inspiration, and Sorcery tree Runes were relatively better.

One can imagine how powerful the force of these Runes is.

The effect in the game is to increase shields and healing, but I don't know what the actual effect would be when brought into reality.

However, not all Runes are full of destructiveness.

And looking at the introduction above, these aren't even complete Runes, but rather fragments.

"This is..." Ning Feiliu paused for a moment, then quickly widened his eyes, "A World Rune? Huh?"

Perhaps most League of Legends players are very familiar with Runes and find them quite ordinary.

【Independently author a medical book to obtain a fragment of the World Rune—Revitalization.】

But on the Valoran Continent, it is claimed that every single Rune has the power to destroy a civilization.

"The Spirit Suppressing Pill could also..."

The Domination and Precision tree Runes are definitely terrifying Runes full of destructive power.

These World Runes are not simple, even though they are a common Rune system in the game.

And as he wrote the last word, the small task text shattered, once again transforming into a strange sensation that surged into Ning Feiliu's mind.

He immediately felt... his thinking pattern had changed, and even the prescriptions before his eyes seemed to have more ways to be improved!

But at the same time, a new line of small text emerged before his eyes.

However... Ning Feiliu didn't care about that; the temptation of being able to master a World Rune...

Who wouldn't want to add a talent point to themselves?

But he remembered that Aphelios shouldn't be taking Resolve tree Runes...

Forget it, never mind; I'll get it first and worry later.

But to author a medical book myself...

That's a bit difficult, Ning Feiliu slowly exhaled and said, "It seems I must plan carefully, slowly accumulate experience, and then slowly attempt to compile a book."

"The most important thing now is still..."

"Cultivating soul power!"

A flash of determination crossed Ning Feiliu's eyes, and then he walked into the courtyard, began to face the bright moon blooming with dew in the sky, and sat cross-legged to meditate and cultivate!

Moonlight Breathing Method...

With every inhalation and exhalation, his soul power increased rapidly.

Time flies like an arrow, years flow by.

Half a year later, at the medical clinic.

"Little Doctor Ning, my daughter-in-law hasn't been able to eat anything lately. What do you think we should do?"

An old woman supported her daughter-in-law, who was several months pregnant, and said anxiously, "Will this have any effect on the child in her belly?"

Half a year had passed, and Ning Feiliu's physique had become stronger; he was no longer as thin as he was before.

He looked at the pregnant woman, whose complexion appeared somewhat sallow, and despite it being late autumn, cold sweat was still constantly breaking out on her forehead.

"Let me see..." Ning Feiliu said, "Looking at the situation, it looks a bit like liver-related jaundice. Did she eat any unclean water or food?"

The pregnant woman and the old woman spoke up immediately, and as he expected, it was just as he had thought.

The pregnant woman had drunk raw water some time ago, which likely led to intrahepatic obstructive cholestasis caused by parasites, resulting in the symptoms of liver-related jaundice.

However, this illness was not difficult to treat, nor was it fatal.

Ning Feiliu waited until her husband arrived with the gathered herbs, then charged an additional four Copper Soul Coins before prescribing the medicine to cure her.

Following the patient's initial recovery and the heartfelt gratitude of the family, the small task text before his eyes changed.

【Receive heartfelt gratitude from others. After collecting 10,000 times, you can obtain the Wandering God's Harvest—Blessing of Life: Increases affinity with intelligent beings by 40% and increases the probability of epiphany by 10%. (4,396 times remaining)】

【Cure 10,000 sick patients to obtain the Green Father's Protection—Increases Pharmacology learning ability by 40%. (7,777 times remaining)】

This made Ning Feiliu have to sigh that the road is long and the burden is heavy.

After completing the previous "1,000" level task four months ago, his tasks had leveled up once again.

Looking at this posture, I fear the next mission might escalate to saving one hundred thousand patients and receiving one hundred thousand expressions of gratitude.

Good grief... if this continues, I fear he will become a Hua Tuo of this other world, a living Buddha reborn.

In fact, this trend is already present; in the commoner and slum districts of Heaven Dou City, who doesn't know the great name of Ning Feiliu?

Little Doctor Ning, his reputation for saving the dying and healing the wounded has been thoroughly established.

The most critical thing is that in the half year Ning Feiliu has been running his medical clinic, his medical skills have truly improved significantly.

He also has products from his alchemy experiments; not only did he extract components from medicinal herbs, but he also successfully extracted potent weapons like antibiotics and adrenaline, and synthesized several types of Alchemy Potion.

Alchemical chemical drug—"Timely Rescue Potion", a forced life-extension drug, can forcibly maintain human physiological functions for ten minutes.

Ning Feiliu tried using it on a patient; that person's heartbeat had already stopped, yet they were stunned into Revitalization of their heartbeat by the injection of "Timely Rescue Potion".

There are also three other relatively important alchemical chemical drugs—"Immune Suppression Potion", "Vigorous Energy Potion", and "Iron Elixir".

They are respectively applied to the treatment of inflammatory or autoimmune diseases, a strengthened version of "adrenaline", and for enhancing one's own recovery ability and resistance.

With these Alchemy Potion treatments, one simply cannot die, absolutely cannot die.
