Douluo: Change job from Seven Treasures Glazed to Crescent Moon

Chapter 7 BUG
However, to improve the prescription, one still needs a certain level of pharmacology.

Therefore, Ning Feiliu still planned to go back and systematically study the pharmacology of Douluo Continent first, and then find ways to improve the prescription.

"Okay, thank you Master Ji." He smiled and nodded at Ji Boda, then prepared to leave.

"Goodbye, Young Master Ning." After knowing Ning Feiliu's identity as a direct disciple of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, Ji Boda became more humble and said quickly.

Ning Feiliu left the clinic directly, holding the "Compendium of Pharmaceutical Prescriptions", and had an idea in his mind.

Now that he has this prescription, he can now go find the "questions" with the answers.

To put it simply, he could pretend to be ignorant and go to various clinics to look for the common elixirs listed in the "Compendium of Prescriptions" in the clinics, and then refresh the task.

Then he looked at the detailed prescriptions in the Compendium of Prescriptions, so that he could complete the task stably.

And the key point is that Ning Feiliu found that after he completed the task, the detailed contents of those prescriptions were like engraved in his mind and he remembered them quite firmly.

So completing this task is actually equivalent to helping him remember the prescription.

Ning Feiliu went straight to another clinic without hesitation.

In the clinic, he pretended to be ignorant and asked the waiter about each pill, which directly refreshed one task after another.

[Query the detailed recipe of the Cold-Repelling Soup and gain Singed's half-year experience]

[Query the detailed prescription of Jindan trauma medicine and obtain Singed's three years of experience]

[Query the detailed recipe of the Turtle Pill and gain one year of experience from Singed]

[Query the detailed prescription of Ice Crystal Cream and obtain two and a half years of experience from Singed]

……

Ning Feiliu gave out tasks one after another and completed them easily.

This was a perfect way to complete the task by exploiting a bug, and it made him feel extremely comfortable.

Gradually, Singed's experience seemed to be drained out by him, and all in all, he had a full fifty years of experience.

After sixty years of gaining Singed's alchemical experience, finally, what appeared was no longer Singed's experience.

Instead, it became——【Check the detailed prescription of Jinyu Powder and obtain Renata's half-year alchemy experience.】

Alchemist Baron Renata?

Ning Feiliu was slightly stunned, but according to the background story, Renata was also from an alchemy family that started out making alchemy drugs, and was also an alchemy master who was inferior to Singed in drug alchemy.

So he continued to complete the tasks without any pause.

Singed and Renata's alchemical experience was instilled into Ning Feiliu's mind as each task was completed.

But soon...

As the last line of small words in front of Ning Feiliu's eyes shattered, it turned into experience and knowledge that poured into his mind.

He also completed the task of writing the last prescription in the Compendium of Prescriptions.

"There are no more missions..." Ning Feiliu took a deep breath, then shook his head and said helplessly.

Under the strange look of the clinic apprentice, he spent five copper soul coins to buy the pill in front of him and then left the clinic.

After leaving the clinic, Ning Feiliu muttered to himself, "Next, I will have to look at other prescription books and do more quests and gain experience."

However, he now had the sixty years of alchemy experience of the alchemist Singed and the thirty-eight years of alchemy experience of the alchemist Baron Renata in his mind. With so much experience and knowledge, he suddenly understood the several prescriptions in the Compendium of Prescriptions in his hand.

"First of all... this method of herbal medicine is too backward. We can use the methods of extracting medicine to extract the active ingredients in the herbs."

Ning Feiliu murmured to himself, "Make it into pills or potions, this will make the effect of these pills better."

That is, after gaining the experience and knowledge of Singed and Renata, Ning Feiliu's knowledge of Douluo Continent's prescriptions changed from traditional medicine to modern medicine from his previous life.

In the thinking of traditional medicine, whether it is Chinese medicine or Western medicine, it actually tends to be more inclined towards the vague conceptual medicine of mutual promotion and mutual restraint, or balance and harmony.

It is relatively speaking, more empirical and idealistic.

For example, traditional Western medicine's bloodletting therapy and traditional Chinese medicine's yin and yang harmony and five elements balance.

It is something rather mysterious but has no scientific basis.

Especially in the aspect of drug treatment, traditional medicine does not explore what the real effective ingredients of the drugs are and why they work.
For example, the calming soup used in the palace of the previous life to calm the princes and princesses.

Like the princes and princesses in the palace.

People in the palace didn't want to see them being too active, lest they cause trouble.

Therefore, the concubines in the harem often let their children take this calming soup.

Its prescription consists of five herbs: cinnabar, realgar, scorpion, fried silkworm, and licorice!
The truly useful ingredient in cinnabar is mercury, while the main ingredient in realgar is tetraarsenic tetrasulfide. When heated to a certain temperature, it can be oxidized in the air into the highly toxic ingredient arsenic trioxide, also known as arsenic.

Using these two heavy metals as herbs, the result is... naturally you can imagine.

So after the princes and princesses took it, they began to suffer from symptoms of heavy metal poisoning, and it naturally achieved a calming effect.

This is the drawback of traditional medicine, although many of the empirical summaries of traditional medicine are useful.

For example, in traditional Chinese medicine, the stems and leaves of Artemisia annua are used to treat malaria, and boiled water with willow branches is used to dispel wind, promote diuresis, relieve pain and reduce swelling, and other edema problems.

However, from the perspective of modern medicine, the stems and leaves of Artemisia annua can treat malaria because of the artemisinin in the herb.

Boiling willow twigs in water can dispel wind, promote diuresis, relieve pain and reduce swelling because it contains salicylic acid.

After they are extracted, they are more effective.

Therefore, there is still a certain gap between traditional medicine and modern medicine in terms of the scientific concept of rigorously extracting the main ingredients of drugs.

The current pharmacology in Douluo Continent is obviously traditional medicine under empiricism.

The alchemical experience that Ning Feiliu instilled into his mind through the mission is a very systematic and standardized modern medical concept.

He now plans to go back and try to use scientific methods to extract the active ingredients of the medicine.

Although there are not many sophisticated instruments in this world, he can still use some earlier drug extraction methods to extract the active ingredients of drugs.

For example, water dissolution, leaching, solvent extraction, distillation, etc.

These are all ingredients that can be extracted for medicine, but he needs to slowly determine through experiments which specific parts of these ingredients are effective.

Later, when the conditions are right, he can also make some more sophisticated alchemical experimental instruments based on the knowledge in his mind.

Just as Ning Feiliu was walking and thinking, he suddenly heard whispering sounds beside him.
