The Nosra Family Manor.

Inside the Infirmary.

With the arrival of Qiduo, the Infirmary has been transformed into a top-of-the-line ward.

Although it cost a lot of money, these expenses were well within the Nosra Family's means. After all, it was about treating the sick and saving lives, and no one could say for sure whether a member of the family would need it in the future.

Especially his daughter.

Now, he will do his best in anything that might concern his daughter.

At this moment, Pairo was not in the Infirmary, because his physical condition had been thoroughly examined, and now it was time to prepare the appropriate medicine.

Qiduo looked at the exquisitely packaged bottles and jars in front of her and nodded in satisfaction.

"These are the materials I can think of that you should be able to use your Nen ability to create a targeted Repair Potion."

Looking at these medications, Kevin couldn't even recognize some of them.

Because many of these products have already undergone chemical extraction, blending, and processing.

Some of the medicinal properties of these plants cannot be found online or in books; they were all summarized by Qiduo based on her own experience.

Kevin is currently secretly learning from them.

For his Nen ability, he needs to understand the effects of each material in order to create the right potion.

"First, as we discussed before, given the potency of your medicine, we need to prepare two different medicines for treatment."

Although this treatment method is rather radical, it will definitely be effective quickly and give him a complete makeover.

The treatment method that Qiduo mentioned involves first using a medicine to thoroughly clean up the damaged parts of Pairo's body from before.

This part is deformed and growing haphazardly, and the remaining problems make it difficult to deal with.

Why not just sweep it all up at once?

Simply put, it's a specially made poison.

This poison must be both potent and mild enough, and the criteria for killing must be absolutely precise.

This needs to be precise down to the neural level.

After removing any remaining deformities from the body, a special Recovery Potion is used for repair and regeneration.

The [Healing Potion] might have such an effect, but after trying it herself, Qiduo said it didn't work.

This medicine is certainly effective, but the problem lies in the fact that it provides a comprehensive and rapid treatment.

Compared to the highly precise surgical and treatment procedures available today, it appears far too crude.

Moreover, this medicine is specifically designed to treat sudden external and internal injuries, aiming to provide rapid treatment and save lives.

What we need now is targeted medication.

In this way, Pairo's problem can be solved in a short time.

Of course, he will suffer during the treatment, but this is a price he has to pay.

Before even receiving the medicinal herbs, the two had discussed this at length and ultimately reached this feasible conclusion.

After all, Qiduo is at the forefront of the world's medical field. She approves of this treatment method, and the entire treatment plan was mainly planned and designed by her.

This was a tailor-made plan after fully understanding Kevin's Nen ability.

Kevin mainly serves as a tool.

"Now, try the recipe I originally conceived."

Following Qiduo's suggestion, the two began processing the medicinal herbs.

"Velvet Poison, a poison extracted from the Velvet Poison Grass, appears mild but is deadly; it is a dissolving poison."

This plant has tiny, sharp thorns on its surface that release poison when they pierce the skin, instantly dissolving the plant's internal structure.

However, if swallowed normally, it will not cause any problems.

Qiduo explained as she demonstrated, explaining that some materials might be difficult to obtain without special channels.

"Now we're using this machine to extract the toxins and concentrate them. We can extract about 200 grams from this much medicinal material."

As the machine ran, approximately 200 grams of venom were quickly extracted and stored.

Next, the other medicinal materials were also processed in various different ways.

Some need to be kept fresh, some need to be dried and stored, and some are made into powder.

"This is Honey Poison Sac, the honey sac of a large insect, and it's poisonous. The specific composition of the substances inside depends mainly on the environment in which this insect lives."

"I've heard of cases where the environment has turned the insect into a nutrient bag. I think if you want to make some special medicines in the future, you can keep an eye out for this kind of insect."

"They are relatively easy to grow, but they need a large area of plants with similar characteristics, which requires some effort to create."

Based on her experience, Qiduo offered Kevin advice.

At this moment, Kevin remained silent, nodding attentively as he took notes.

Thinking to myself, "Sister, say more."

He secretly learned everything.

After these few days of communication with Qiduo, Kevin felt that his understanding of pharmaceuticals had improved by leaps and bounds.

He was eager to create more and more practical New Potion, but he suppressed his excitement and told himself that he still needed to continue learning.

Soon, the processed materials were neatly arranged in front of me according to their different categories.

Qiduo took out a small container containing a small piece of skin and flesh.

This was taken from Pairo.

This portion of the human body material will be used as a [Fusion Agent].

Kevin had never imagined using such a material as Fusion Agent, but Qiduo had such a bold idea.

She even believes that such Fusion Agent will be essential if Kevin starts offering customized services in the future.

Since everyone's physical condition is different, using flesh and blood as a Fusion Agent, or even as some auxiliary materials, may make the medicine more compatible with the user's body.

This is mainly due to the need for customization. Customization is often targeted at a specific aspect, and people's physical conditions are different, which can easily lead to various problems.

Further in-depth medical knowledge in this area requires continuous learning to gain a thorough understanding.

Kevin took a deep breath and conjured Alchemy Table.

He placed the appropriate materials on the Alchemy Table and reviewed the results description provided by the Alchemy Table.

[Biological Dissolution can dissolve necrotic parts hidden within a specific target's body, but it can also cause dissolution damage to some non-necrotic targets.]

"No." Upon seeing this description, Qiduo shook her head.

That definitely won't work.

This is internal dissolution; if it accidentally dissolves into vital areas, it could cause Pairo to become completely paralyzed.

If you're even less lucky, you might die on the spot.

Such a risk is far too high; Kevin simply doesn't want Pairo to take it.

The two readjusted the materials.

At least the objective is correct, and the description already indicates that it is indeed possible to dissolve necrotic parts internally; they now only need to eliminate the problem of random damage.

The materials themselves should be fine; the key issues are whether the amount of material used and the fusion method are correct.

After numerous adjustments, the perfect formula was finally achieved.

[Gold Name: Velvet Poison (Extract - 15g)]

[Silver Scale: Honey Bug Poison Sac (Powdered - 115g)]

[Copper Scale: biological sample (whole piece - 3 grams)]

[Finished Product: For specific biological individuals, the process involves dissolving deformed and necrotic parts of their bodies, requiring target guidance.]

This is exactly the finished product they wanted.

Soon, the potion began to be mixed and produced, Kevin finished making it in just a few minutes.

"Next comes the part about repairing the growth, which is relatively easier."

Qiduo breathed a sigh of relief.

This is indeed the case; dissolving the parts is quite dangerous, making it very difficult and requiring repeated adjustments.

Repair treatment is relatively simple, and it doesn't matter if there is some excess effect, as long as the area that needs repair can be successfully repaired.

Moreover, Kevin already has several medications with therapeutic effects for different scenarios.

He has ample experience in this area; after all, when one thinks of medicine, the first thing that comes to mind is its therapeutic effects.

He initially also sought to learn and develop in this direction.

Thanks to Qiduo's understanding of medicine, it didn't take much time, and with the use of some relatively precious materials, a potion that exceeded their expectations was created.

The results significantly exceeded their expectations.

[Result: Exhaustion of physical strength and nutrients was used to repair the organism.]

"Repair? Isn't that too general a description?" Qiduo asked, frowning.

This statement is far too vague. What does it mean to repair a living organism? What aspects of repair can be performed? And how should this kind of repair be defined?

After all, Qiduo is a top medical expert and a top legal scholar; she cannot accept such a vague definition.

She needs a precise and clear explanation.

If they can't figure it out, this already conceived potion will be abandoned, and the two of them will have to spend a lot of time rethinking and reconstructing it.

"You can't look at Nen ability entirely through a medical lens, especially my Nen ability."

Its inherent tendency to rely heavily on real-world scientific evidence makes you forget its true nature.

Kevin reminded him.

Upon hearing this, Qiduo realized what was happening and nodded, "You're right, I was thinking too scientifically and too meticulously just now."

11

She's not just a top medical expert, but also a top-tier Nen user.

Nen ability, to some extent, carry a fantastical and incomprehensible quality.

After all, it is a product determined by a person's experience, will, and body.

It often conforms to some real-world scientific theorems, but in some aspects it defies common sense.

For example, the classic Specialization Type and the Materialization Type.

Specialization Type often produce things that defy explanation by modern science; attempting to explain them is simply wishful thinking. The characteristics of Materialization Type are even more pronounced; materialized items often possess extreme enhancements in a particular aspect, and may even introduce certain "rules."

Just like materializing an ordinary rope, as long as the conditions are met, it will definitely be able to imprison the target.

Even if the opponent is far stronger than oneself, one cannot break free.

"So what do you mean by the 'repair' aspect of this potion?"

Kevin had actually been thinking about Qiduo's problem from the very beginning.

"There are two possibilities. The first and most extreme one is that the body undergoes a complete repair, which could even be understood as the regeneration of severed limbs."

"But this possibility is somewhat unrealistic; it is indeed a repair in some ways."

"But the repair, which resembles the regeneration of a severed limb, looks more like a recovery from something lost."

Qiduo nodded. "So-called repair must involve damage and repairable parts. I understand."

Kevin continued, "That's right, the second possibility is that a part of the body has broken off or been damaged."

"For example, if an arm is severed, reattaching it is like finding a repairable part; drinking the potion will allow the arm to reattach."

"This should be considered a more scientific approach and a more consistent result with the original intention of restoration."

"From the perspective of modern science, it is simply impossible to perfectly reattach an arm; various problems and sequelae will occur."

"But if it's Nen ability, many abilities can potentially achieve perfect repair. Do you think your potion can achieve that effect?"

Qiduo asked, "This is the harvest and experience I've gained from my work in this area."

Kevin smiled and said, "Whether it works or not is actually easy to judge. The materials we're using this time are undoubtedly all C-Rank."

Kevin sensed a certain longing in all three materials, and the Fusion Agent used in the Repair Potion was made of Gold Base Petal.

Those are the ones we acquired before.

Kevin previously named the regular kind "Gold Base Petal" because its base was gold.

Those of higher quality are called Gold Vein Petal.

"Now we'll see how long it takes me to make this potion and how much Nen it will consume."

His current Nen level has reached 21,000, which means he is capable of creating even the highest-grade C-Rank potions.

Unless it's a B-Rank potion, and even then, it has to be a mid-to-high-end B-Rank potion.

If it takes that much energy and time, then there's no doubt that this potion can regenerate severed limbs.

After saying that, he didn't hesitate any longer and started making it.

The Nen Aura surged into the Alchemy Table instantly.

Kevin sat there, closing his eyes.

The Nen Aura was being continuously depleted.

In the end, it took a full forty minutes, something Kevin hadn't done in a long time.

This indicates that the drug has reached the top level of C-Rank.

"How did it go?" asked Qiduo, who had been waiting nearby.

Kevin took out the medicine.

"This should be the second possibility we mentioned."

Qiduo nodded; this was still within her understanding. "Then the demand for this potion must be huge."

She knew about Kevin's plan to build a shop to sell the medicine.

Just thinking about it makes it clear that every customer would want to carry one of these medications with them at all times.

This is a potion that can repair severed limbs. Although there are many Nen user with the ability to repair limbs, most of the time they may not be able to arrive in time or be contacted.

This is a perfectly reasonable and highly probable unexpected situation.

In this situation, a major problem will arise.

If I had this medicine with me at this time, wouldn't things be perfect?

Qiduo didn't have any particular thoughts about this medicine, since she herself was capable of performing similar repair procedures.

Kevin looked at the medicine and nodded in satisfaction.

Finally, we have a decent, high-quality potion that we can show off.

This is truly a pleasant surprise.

Now that both potions have been successfully prepared, it's time to begin repairing Pairo's body.

Upon hearing the news, everyone rushed over.

Seeing so many people, Qiduo's face darkened. "Everyone out! Family members wait outside during treatment!"

Everyone silently withdrew, leaving only Pairo in the ward.

At this moment, a hint of nervousness was visible on Pairo's youthful face.

Qiduo smiled gently and reassured her softly, "It's not as scary as you think. With your uncle's medicine, the treatment will be safe, and the results should be better than we expected, so you don't need to worry."

As she spoke, she gently patted Pairo's shoulder and led him to the bedside.

They then relaxed and chatted about some things, trying to soothe each other's emotions.

For a lawyer and a doctor, the combination of these two skills makes her very adept at comforting people.

Pairo took a deep breath, trying to calm his nerves.

Fortunately, through training in controlling his Fiery Red Eye, he has become increasingly better at controlling his emotions.

He took off his clothes, leaving only a pair of specially made shorts.

After lying down on the hospital bed, medical equipment began to perform a detailed scan on his body.

Qiduo manipulated the instruments, and Kevin could see her infusing her Nen Aura into them.

Less than two seconds after the anesthetic was injected, Pairo's eyes closed.

Under Qiduo's manipulation, one probe pierced Pairo's lower limb, and another pierced his eye socket.

The puncture sites were all located at the lesion sites identified in previous scans.

A subtle stream of Nen Aura flowed in.

Soon, a target was left at the location of the symptom.

This is crucial for guiding the drug to the designated location for dissolution.

"Give him his medicine."

Kevin acted immediately, injecting the drug directly into Pairo's esophagus using a special syringe.

The medication was absorbed rapidly.

"This medicine is really strange; I can't see it working within my body."

Qiduo also had the mind to observe the effects of the medicine.

After all, Nen ability are generated using real-world materials and are not purely Nen ability; theoretically, there should be a process of liquid evaporation.

There was no result. It seems that this medicine has the peculiar effect of taking effect immediately after entering the body, thus bypassing the process of taking effect.

Fifteen minutes after drinking it is the fifteen-minute window during which the medicine's effects are fully realized.

That really does fit the characteristics of Nen ability.

Guided by the target, the necrotic parts are dissolved instantly.

"If he hadn't been anesthetized, he'd probably be screaming in agony right now," Qiduo muttered to herself.

After all, these parts are not only necrotic, but also grotesquely shaped growths. These are all part of the body, and dissolving them is excruciatingly painful.

That feeling is a real piercing sensation through the skin and flesh, and there's nothing you can do about it.

After a while, she continued, "Alright, you can use the Repair Potion now."

Another medicine was injected into Pairo's mouth through a syringe, and the repairing effect was immediately apparent.

At this moment, Pairo had two wounds on his body.

One wound is a cut, and the other is a wound left from when a piece of meat was removed.

Under their watchful eyes, the cut gradually healed, not through the process of blood scabbing and healing, but through the wounds closing up and disappearing.

However, the wound from which the meat was removed remained unchanged.

"It seems, just as you said, that's the second possibility," Qiduo concluded.

This phenomenon only further proves it.

The treatment is over.

Although Pairo was still in a coma, a thorough re-examination revealed that Pairo had recovered and become a healthy child.

His eye and leg problems have been resolved, but the newly repaired areas will need some time to recover.

As the effects of the anesthetic gradually wore off, Pairo groggily sat up.

"I-I, um?"

He wanted to say something, but suddenly froze.

He held up his hand and waved it in front of his eyes.

My eyes.

Previously, as he got older, his vision became increasingly blurry, making it difficult for him to see things. The symptoms were not quite the same as those of nearsightedness.

But things are different now.

Everything before my eyes was incredibly clear, as if the whole world had become clearer and brighter.

It feels like the monitor has been upgraded.

"I'm better? I'm really better?!" His voice was filled with excitement.

Only he himself knew how painful and unbearable the process of slowly becoming disabled was.

Kevin quickly went over and helped him up.

When Pairo put his feet on the ground and tried to walk, he then walked briskly around the ward a few times and even jumped a couple of times.

He finally didn't have to drag himself away, sickly and weak.

"It's different now, completely different, like going back to when I was a child." Pairo's emotions grew increasingly agitated.

He hadn't experienced jumping and running so freely in a long time.

As he grew older, his leg problems worsened, and now, apart from a slight weakness from the lingering effects of the anesthesia, his body felt like it had returned to the state it was in when he was a child before he fell off the cliff.

"Thank you, thank you, Uncle."

Pairo hugged Kevin tightly, tears streaming down his face.

Kevin smiled and gently patted his head.

"Alright, let's get out of here. Kurapika's getting impatient waiting outside."
