Healing wounds only requires a basic understanding of human anatomy, but diseases are much more difficult to deal with.
The causes of illness in the human body are diverse. Viral infections and fungal infections are caused by external pathogens invading the body. Allergies, heart disease, and various cancers are caused by long-term irregular lifestyle habits that lead to physical lesions. For example, cervical spondylosis and myopia are caused by long-term habits that lead to a natural evolution of the body, although they are not necessarily positive.
There are also various congenital diseases, which are defects in the human gene pool, and are more difficult to treat than the diseases mentioned above.
Because diseases have different mechanisms of onset, healing spells also have many subtle classifications based on different mechanisms of onset.
Although Li Xingkong was already quite proficient in this area, a person's energy is limited, and he could not devote unlimited time to this direction.
Therefore, he prefers to learn a more general spell that can cure a wide range of diseases, not seeking mastery, but rather breadth.
The healing process can be slower, requiring multiple treatments or long-term improvement; both are acceptable.
There will inevitably be consequences for not being proficient; there's no such thing as perfection in this world.
Based on Li Xingkong's idea, the system recommended the Restoration Technique to him.
This is a very common healing spell, the kind that's practically everywhere.
It's usually a low-level cultivator who has achieved nothing in their studies, and they learn a spell in order to gain wealth and status in the mortal world.
For cultivators, its use is rather useless, because its development and application are all aimed at mortals. This makes learning this spell a completely thankless task, naturally relegating it to a third-rate spell.
As for why the system recommended that Li Xingkong learn it, it's naturally because although the spell is third-rate, its research and development approach is indeed unconventional and easy to learn.
The Restoration Technique focuses on restoration. Its principle differs from other spells. It activates the cells in the target's body, forming a very special spiritual energy structure that allows the caster to communicate with the patient's cells.
Simply put, the mechanism of this thing is to ask a local for directions.
You are a constable from the city, sent to the countryside to arrest fugitives from elsewhere. Now you have a few choices:
First, they would bring a large force to conduct a sweeping search. This is similar to the approach of Western medicine: if someone is sick, they take the drug directly, letting the medicine act as their sweeping force to enter the affected area and search. After searching, they would leave. It's fair to say that all the fugitives they found were apprehended, but they didn't care how the fugitives got there—whether they were robbed or forced into rebellion by officials. Their only concern was finding fugitives; they didn't care about anything else.
Second, ask the local villagers about the situation. Don't rush to take action. First, ask respected elders and ordinary people who have lived in the area for a long time to find out the whereabouts of the fugitives and try to understand why they became fugitives.
Then mobilize the villagers to reveal the fugitive's location, and launch a precise strike. If the fugitive's condition was caused by his own actions, it would also be a good opportunity to address the root cause of his illness.
The second method is the mechanism of Restoration Technique. Why is it simple? Because the healthiest state of your body is recorded in the DNA of every cell. You may not know how your body will grow, but every part of your body knows where it is going.
Therefore, Reversion Technique can be applied to a variety of scenarios and can be considered omnipotent, but they also have certain limitations. For example, they cannot be used for congenital diseases. If you ask a world full of one-eyed people why they don't have two eyes, they will only say that there are no two-eyed people, and that two-eyed people must be monsters.
There's absolutely nothing you can do about that.
I can't very well personally install another eye on everyone.
Regardless of its flaws, this spell was indeed suitable for Li Xingkong. Firstly, it provided him with a new creative approach, and secondly, it had a wide range of applications.
That's it, there's no other option anyway.
In the end, they obtained these three spells: Wind Riding Spell, Thunder Vein Technique, and finally, Restoration Technique.
With these three spells, Li Xingkong's abilities gradually became more diverse, and he was no longer just a brute with only combat prowess, no different from an ordinary person in other aspects.
As for the order of training, naturally one should start with the Restoration Technique.
When doing things, you should start with the simple things and take it one step at a time.
More importantly, once he finishes practicing the Restoration Technique, he can immediately use it on his parents. Since it concerns their health, it's best to resolve it as soon as possible; this isn't something that can be delayed.
The human body is like a machine. Before the age of 30, it's still under warranty. Minor bumps and bruises can be patched up and healed in a couple of days. But after 30, it's out of warranty and insurance companies won't take it anymore. How long it can last depends entirely on how you maintain it.
Poor maintenance will cause it to stall in two or three years, while good maintenance will keep it looking brand new for decades. How well the human body is maintained depends entirely on the individual.
Many people seem perfectly fine today, but then catch a minor illness and die immediately. This is the consequence of long-term overuse of the body.
Now that we have this magical spell, it's best to use it as soon as possible.
Without saying a word, Li Xingkong immediately accepted the spell.
Although this spell is simple, it contains a great deal of knowledge. The principle of the Restoration Technique is very simple; it only requires the construction of a Magic Power structure, which is used to communicate with the somatic cells of other people.
But besides its Magic Power structure, it also contains a large amount of linguistic knowledge.
Think about it, you need to learn a foreign language to communicate with foreigners, let alone communicate with something that isn't human.
There are eighteen different dialects in the surrounding villages, and the human body has far more than just these few types of cells. Although they are all cells, different cells express different functions, and their communication methods are naturally different.
So this thing is also very painful; it's not that ordinary people can't learn it, it's just that it's really mentally taxing.
The few dozen or so people on Earth Star, with their hundreds of languages, are already a headache enough, let alone the information about the human body.
That's why cultivation is something that every civilization eventually has to explore. It's because once knowledge accumulates to a certain level, an ordinary person can no longer learn all the existing knowledge in their lifetime using only existing teaching methods, let alone innovate or learn something new.
If a person chooses a major from birth and studies continuously, it may take until they are 60 years old to learn the most cutting-edge technology in their chosen field. By the time they have mastered it, they will be 70 years old. If they are still an ordinary person at this point, they have already lost the ability to innovate and the physical strength for scientific research.
As society develops to a certain stage, the exploration of human evolution becomes inevitable.
Fortunately, Li Xingkong has enough time now, and he can even learn knowledge in his dreams.
These things weren't difficult for him.
