In order to develop targeted medicines as quickly as possible, the doctors of "White Scroll Herb Pot" invited Dorothy and Sylutia to join the analysis and discussion meeting. Because they had studied "Grey Mud" for a long time before, they quickly provided these doctors with a lot of valuable information and experience.
In the following two weeks, the strange Plague in the Iron Wall High Cliff station was brought under control and no longer spread. The infected members were also in stable condition under the suppression of drugs.
"However, the process of researching targeted drugs is still difficult." Zelalin Cuifeng reported to everyone present at the discussion meeting.
"We have indeed found a drug that can restrain such strange creatures, but even if Healing is used, patients still have more than 90% chance of relapse. What I speculate may be that some subtle "Grey Mud" has penetrated into the bodies of some people and lurked."
"Even if the treatment improves during the medication period, those latent "Grey Mud" will spread again over time."
"So stubborn?" The commander sitting at the top frowned.
"If we can't control it, doesn't it mean that the entire the Woodland, and even Surface Continent, will be infected and harmed by this "Grey Mud"?" A masked man in gray clothes sitting at the table spoke in a low voice.
"That's right."
"In addition to "Iron Wall High Cliff", there are currently 241 people outside who are infected, all of whom were contacted during the process of seeking help. Currently, all channels leading to the Dark Mist Mountains are under martial law, and all communications have been switched to "Water Mirror Ritual" communication."
"This is very strange. If the "power of Aspect Power" is weak to a certain extent, it will not be able to bring about changes and power beyond common sense, just like many living beings have hidden and unmanifest characteristics of Aspect Power."
"Under such circumstances, this "Grey Mud" is just an ordinary viral disease. How can it have such strong resistance and be able to withstand the washing of Purification."
"No, it is indeed fragile." Zelalin shook his head.
"Just like ordinary viral diseases, without the blessing and protection of Aspect Power level, it can be easily cleaned by Purification."
"However, it is also very soft. What I mean is that it can get along well with the human body itself and integrate into the flesh and blood very harmoniously. This prevents them from being rejected. The power of Purification cannot clean away the "Grey Mud" that is integrated with itself."
"Won't life itself reject this kind of "foreign matter"?" A bachelor wearing a white collar with a gold edge raised his head.
"Basically not rejecting it, because from "my" perspective, "Grey Mud" seems to be my half-brother."
"Why is this?" Many people wonder.
"Because, they are "Mycelial Thread"." Zelalin sighed.
"As the origin of many Aspect Power, "Mycelial Thread" itself contains their common parts, and the string connection represented by "Mycelial Thread" is the foundation of all things, just like the most basic lines, it is difficult to exclude."
"At present, although "Mycelial Thread" and "Aspect Power" have weakened, the concepts they represent have already spread to all life and things."
"Also, "Grey Mud" itself is not malicious, it just uses nutrients to help hosts communicate with each other. If we continue to provide nutrients to people infected with "Grey Mud" but do not contain "Grey Mud", eventually this person will become a large, squirming "Grey Mud", that is, become their kind. This is the breeding method of mushrooms in extremely ancient times."
"Doesn't that mean there is no solution?" Many people looked grave.
"It's not time to give up yet, we are thinking of another way now." Zelalin replied.
"If it is difficult for external factors to interfere with "Mycelial Thread" and cause it to actively reject it, we can use another "Mycelial Thread" life to connect the transformation and eliminate it harmlessly."
"This is actually an idea obtained from "Reveal Potion Powder" developed by Lantern Town not long ago." Zelalin expressed his thoughts.
"Is this... feasible?" People present were a little skeptical, feeling that it was too unreasonable.
"Try it again, and if my guess is correct, if I fail, the Association will summon all forces to jointly respond, right?"
"Yes, if even you, who is experienced, can't solve it, then we can only look down on ourselves and find people from "Harp Flower Union", "Sea Cliff Bloodkin" or even "Mage Alliance" to deal with this problem together."
In the Woodland Association, although there are many organizations, there are only a few organizations that are good at pharmacological analysis and resolving toxin curses. "White Scroll Herb Pot" is already the strongest among these organizations.
"I understand, but please give me two months." Zelalin nodded.
After the meeting, inspired by the principles of "Reveal Potion Powder", a group of doctors once again used "Mycelial Thread", "Aspect Power" and "Purple Jellyfish Mushroom", which are the same but have different properties, as raw materials to develop and prepare pharmaceuticals that can target the disease.
During this period, Sylutia had to open a temporary greenhouse here at "Iron Wall High Cliff" and grow a large amount of "Purple Jellyfish Mushroom" as test materials and future pharmaceutical raw materials.
During this period, she often participated in discussions on "White Scroll Herb Pot" and learned a lot about the principles of medicine.
Perhaps because of an analogy, or because her knowledge level has improved, she can now suddenly understand some parts of the book "Melancholy Praying in the Lake" that she found obscure in the past.
Back then, Melancholy became famous because he led Silver Radiance Church to quell "Riot of the Mad Crows", which was a kind of Plague spread by birds. The infected people would grow black feathers on their bodies. When the feathers spread all over the body, they would go crazy and die.
If it never dies, the infected life will transform into "Black Crow Monster" of Distortion, flutter its wings and take off, and the dust shaken off from these feathers will carry the seeds of Plague and spread them everywhere.
In "Riot of the Mad Crows", about one-fifth of the Fourth Continent's population perished, which led to the weakening of many organizations and also attracted the opportunity to invade by the Fifth Continent and "Golden Honey Dynasty" at that time.
But these are all things for later. The important thing is that the "Riot of the Mad Crows" and "Plague" of that year have many similarities with the "Grey Mud" encountered this time, and we should be able to learn from them.
So Sylutia took the initiative to request a large number of pharmacopoeia books from the "White Scroll Herb Pot" organization and began to learn knowledge about drug development.
In the past two months, she has learned very quickly and her growth rate has surprised Zelalin.
"No wonder "Four Seasons Alliance" protects you like a treasure. Even if "Iron Wall High Cliff" is to be cleaned up, he told me to take you with him when I leave."
"Uh, is there such a thing?" Sylutia embarrassedly covered her eyebrows with her fingers, showing that she was completely unaware.
"Yes, not only I know about this, but also several high-level Transcendents in Iron Wall High Cliff. We occasionally talk about you, but you don't know." Zelalin nodded.
"I see that you are very talented in "Radiant Moon" and "Emerald Nectar", and you have mastered the knowledge of these medicine classics very quickly. How about joining our "White Scroll Herb Pot" in the future? I can accept you as an apprentice and personally teach you the various inherited secret techniques of your faction." It was also rare for him to meet such a suitable junior. He felt that Sylutia's talent and personality were the material to be a natural doctor.
"The main inheritances of our faction are "Radiant Moon" and "Emerald Nectar". If you go to "Four Seasons Alliance", although they can help you with the gardener profession related to "Emerald Nectar", "Radiant Moon" has very few inheritances."
"What they are good at is combining "Blazing Sun·Emerald Nectar" for mass cultivation and production, rather than us using "Radiant Moon·Emerald Nectar" to analyze, explore and find deeper mysteries."
Under Dr. Bai's persuasion, Sylutia was indeed moved a lot, but when she thought about "Autumn Garden" that was about to be completed, she still shook her head.
"I appreciate your kindness, but I am about to advance now, so it is no longer appropriate to switch factions."
"You chose to advance with "Emerald Nectar", right? It doesn't matter. When you reach Fifth Order, you can choose another "Aspect Power" for fusion and advancement. I suggest you choose "Radiant Moon" instead of "Blazing Sun" of "Four Seasons Alliance"."
"High-level beings are often the existence of Composite Aspect. They can perfectly integrate the two kinds of Aspect Power to make them exert stronger abilities."
"You are so friendly to "Radiant Moon", it would be a pity if you choose another "Aspect Power"." Zelalin also sighed, worried that this girl had gone astray.
"So can Fifth Order and above be able to fuse two kinds of Aspect Power?" Sylutia considered his talent and future and made some decisions in his mind.
"I understand, but even so, "Four Seasons Alliance" has been a great nurturing benefactor to me. I can't just change factions."
"I will consider your proposal after I report back to them." Sylutia is indeed very interested in White Scroll Herb Pot who is good at "Radiant Moon·Emerald Nectar". She also realizes that if she completes the knowledge of the "White Scroll Herb Pot" school, it will be especially easy to unlock the secrets of the "Melancholy Praying in the Lake" book in the future.
She will probably consider choosing the advanced secret technique of the "White Scroll Herb Pot" school to condense Composite Aspect at Fifth Order, which is more in line with her talents and expertise.
After getting the girl's reply, Zelalin was finally satisfied. During this period of time, he no longer avoided taboos and directly taught Sylutia a lot of knowledge and skills within the "White Scroll Herb Pot" organization to help her understand pharmacology and grow rapidly.
In this way, two months passed quickly through Sylutia's continuous learning and practice.
