Chapter 18: Leaving and Giving
On the hospital bed.
After taking a sip of the warm and bitter medicinal soup, the medicinal power flowed throughout the body through the blood, and the child's pale face gradually disappeared.
After a while, the child slowly opened his eyes and called out tremblingly, "Grandpa."
As soon as these words came out, the old man's eyes immediately turned red. He knelt down in front of Mu Ci and said tremblingly, "Thank you, thank you."
Mu Ci quickly helped the old man up and said with a faint smile: "Old man, you come to see the doctor, and I treat the disease. This is what I should do. There is no need to do this."
Suddenly, the old man thought of something and said anxiously, "I don't know how many gold soul coins it will cost to see a doctor."
"The medicine and the consultation fee total two silver soul coins."
This sentence stunned the old man. It was not that the cost was too expensive, but that it was too cheap.
A commoner family of three only needs two or three silver soul coins per month.
It seems that the treatment fee of two silver soul coins is already very expensive, but if you go to the shops opened by those soul masters for treatment, the starting price is gold soul coins, which is not affordable for ordinary people.
Compared with the two, Fengrao Medical Clinic is already very cheap.
Afterwards, with the old man's profuse thanks, Du Lan sent the two out of the clinic.
When he came back, he looked at Mu Ci excitedly and asked, "Master, are your medical skills so amazing? Can we be as good as you in the future?"
Mu Ci looked at Du Lan and smiled, without answering. He patted his shoulder meaningfully, turned around, and sat down behind the consultation desk.
But he thought to himself, "How can it be so magical? It's just that some herbs have added the power of abundance, which greatly enhances the effect. If I want to achieve that level with normal prescriptions, I need to drink at least two more doses."
When the old man took the child who had regained consciousness out, everyone waiting at the door started talking.
Many people who originally did not believe were now beginning to waver.
The idea of the supremacy of soul masters has long been deeply rooted in people's minds and is unlikely to disappear in a short time.
However, these are all civilians with some assets, while people from outside the city who are as poor as the old man before have already started queuing at the door.
They couldn't afford a soul master, so the only option they had was to get through it on their own, and that was the only option left to them: this clinic.
Time passed by little by little, and it was soon evening.
Even though there were still many people queuing outside, Mu Ci still asked Du Lan to inform everyone to come back tomorrow.
At the end of the day, Mu Ci gained a lot. In addition to the case data unique to Douluo Continent, it made it easier for him to write the medical book.
It's about the improvement of destiny power. If there was a data panel, the medical treatment and prescription of medicine on this day increased his destiny power by nearly 0.5%.
Although the improvement was not as great as completely curing the patient, it was still good. It also made him realize that the improvement of destiny did not necessarily require the use of force. As long as the concept of destiny was practiced, there would be corresponding feedback.
Mu Ci thought again about the relationship between the Walker and the Star God. The Walker's new understanding of destiny can broaden the breadth of the Star God.
So, if he popularized medical books and pharmacopoeias in the world, allowing more people to embark on the path of the medical profession, would those rare geniuses broaden their destinies?
Mu Ci doesn't believe that there are only soul master geniuses on the Douluo Continent. Most geniuses in various fields who don't have the talent of soul masters are just buried by life.
All they lacked was a new path.
In the evening, after Mu Ci taught Du Lan and others how to read and learn some basic medical knowledge, he planned to go home to practice.
Before leaving, Mu Ci asked Du Lan a question: "Du Lan, what is your Spirit?"
Hearing this, a look of dejection crossed his face as he replied, "Master, everyone in our village uses dogs as their Spirits. For hundreds of years, no one has ever possessed the soul power to become a soul master."
Then he asked with some doubt: "Master, why are you asking this?"
"Oh, nothing, just asking."
After saying that, Mu Ci returned home with some thoughts in his mind.
---
A year later, Mu Ci sat in the rest area and watched Du Lan and the other three treating some patients.
During this period, they had been learning very quickly. With the combination of theory and practice, they could already treat minor injuries and illnesses.
What remained was more about studying the theory and accumulating experience.
After a while, the last few patients took their medicine and left.
After packing up their things, Du Lan and the other three came and stood in front of Mu Ci.
Mu Ci took a sip of tea and said, "Have you decided who will stay and take charge?"
Du Lan stepped forward and said, "We've already considered it. The second brother will help you manage the clinic. The other three of us want to go out and spread your medical books and pharmacopoeia, so that your knowledge can spread throughout the Douluo Continent."
"Although we have only learned the basics this year, with the medical books you gave us, we should be able to do it."
Mu Ci nodded and said, "The situation in Shenmu City has stabilized. I will go to other cities in a while to eliminate the diseases there."
"I've seen everything you've done over the past year, and I'm more confident in you."
"Before I leave, I'll give each of you a gift. You can use it when you return."
"But I have to warn you, once you use this thing, you may have to hide your identity for more than ten years and won't be able to use your current identity anymore."
"If you choose not to use it, then everything will continue as normal."
Finally, Mu Ci added another sentence.
"Except for the second brother. But after the second brother uses it, don't tell anyone else. Don't tell anyone except those present."
"If you have any questions, you can contact the Spirit Hall or the Mu family."
After saying that, Mu Ci took out four peculiar-looking syringes from the storage soul guide and handed them to them.
"That's all. I'm leaving now."
Mu Ci then walked out without looking back.
The environment of Shenmu City has made it difficult for the power of destiny to advance further, so he could only go to other cities.
Looking at Mu Ci's receding figure, Du Lan and the other three all bent down and said in unison, "Goodbye, Teacher."
Medical center dormitory.
Mo Du was just a teenager, and he excitedly said to his fellow brothers:
"I don't know what gift the teacher gave us. I'll try it first."
He took out the gift given by Mu Ci, which was a strange-looking syringe. Everyone was familiar with this thing.
Apart from medicinal herbs and patients, the things they came into contact with the most this year were these strange medical devices invented by Mu Ci.
After saying that, Mo Du was about to press the syringe against his arm.
But a strong arm stopped him. Du Lan said, "I'm the boss, so I'll set an example first."
He took out his own and pressed it against his arm.
He felt a cold needle piercing into his muscles, causing a sharp pain.
Taking a deep breath, Du Lan directly pressed the injection liquid into his body.
"Call!"
Seeing that Du Lan had finished the injection, the three people nearby immediately surrounded him and asked questions in a flurry.
"Boss, how do you feel?"
Du Lan interrupted everyone with a smile, saying, "How can it be so fast? It's just...ah!"
Before he could finish his words, Du Lan's face became hideous, he screamed, and he curled up on the ground and began to twitch.
The short black hair began to turn yellow, the muscles and blood vessels began to become knotted, and the mouth began to bulge forward, revealing short canine teeth.
"What's going on?" The three looked at each other and wanted to help Du Lan up first.
However, none of the three were surprised by the changes in front of them. After all, they could all do it.
Possessed by a Spirit, their village had awakened this beast Spirit called the Yellow Dog for generations, but it had never given birth to soul power.
The elders in their village once asked the Spirit Hall deacon who came to perform the Spirit awakening, wanting to know what the reason was.
The deacon replied: "The Yellow Dog is a lower-level soul beast of the low-level soul beast Coyote. Its bloodline level is extremely low. It may not even reach the level of a ten-year soul beast in its lifetime.
As a Spirit, it's not much stronger than Blue Silver Grass."
Just when the three wanted to help Du Lan to the bed, a mutation occurred again.
