Chapter VIII Treatment
Magic flaws, the source of endless life humiliation...... There is a way to save it!?
Chongyang was stunned, staring at the faint face in the flames.
"Your magic flaw isn't really a magic flaw. A person who is truly deficient in magic that is incurable will not be able to use magic from the beginning, and a situation like you, when you have reached the level of a third-level magician and cannot enter the realm again, is actually a special disease. Firedemon said.
"...... symptoms?" Chongyang's mouth opened and closed in a daze.
"I can bring you back to life after a big hole in your body, and naturally I can cure your magical illness and lift the heavy shackles that have imprisoned you for so many years!" said the Flame Demon proudly. There was unmistakably strong confidence in the tone.
"Treatment...... Could it be ......" Chongyang's eyes widened, "You're a high-ranking therapist?"
Therapist is a sub-branch of pharmacist, a professional whose main business is the diagnosis of diseases and its treatment, which is regarded as a secondary side job by general pharmacists. They are able to use a variety of advanced healing magic, heal the most serious injuries, cure the most bizarre ailments, and restore or maintain the power of the magician.
However, the "doctors" of the continent - healers, are extremely scarce in number. It's not because no one wants to do it, it's because of the harsh conditions required to perform advanced healing magic.
First of all, the therapist needs to be strong enough. High healing magic itself requires a high level of proficiency, at least above the realm level. This blocked the largest group of general-level mages from the door.
Then, unlike ordinary magic, higher healing magic is a spell that is released directly into the human body and acts on the body and even the soul. Therefore, it cannot be any kind of attribute, because the five attributes of thunder, fire, water, earth, and wind may cause varying degrees of damage to the inside of the human body.
No attributes. This is theoretically the basic requirement for all higher healing magic. However, a very small number of magicians with strange talents can weaken their own magical attributes to the point where they are infinitely close to zero.
In addition to this rare talent for weakening magical attributes, another strange talent that healers need is extremely subtle magical control.
If the higher healing magic released into the human body is compared to a surgical scalpel, then the magic control is the hand holding the scalpel. It had to be very smooth and not tolerate the slightest hint of unintentional jitter. Otherwise, there is a risk that the treatment will not be successful, but the consequences will be catastrophic. Therefore, extremely subtle magical control is a must.
How subtle is it? For example, to distribute ten heads together and burn only one of them with a minimal amount of fire magic! Undoubtedly, this is a harsh and perverted requirement for most magicians.
Strength plus talent, the conditions for becoming a healer are so strict, the magicians who are qualified and fortunate enough to become healers are naturally a hundred times rarer than giant pandas. And a character like a doctor is absolutely indispensable to the entire human society.
Otherwise, after a great war, a generation of strong men did not die on the battlefield, but their strength was greatly reduced because of various internal injuries that were difficult to heal, what is the difference between that and death? Even for some strong people, the reduction of strength is a more painful thing than killing them.
The scarcity and importance of therapists have contributed to their extremely high social status. It can be said that every therapist is an existence that all forces want to offer as a treasure, and they are extremely noble.
"I should have found out a long time ago, I was seriously injured by high-level earth magic, I should have died, but I was saved by the fire demon. The existence that can do such a thing, what else can it be if it is not a high therapist?"
Chongyang was clear. It's just because the attack hit him too hard, and the fire demon itself is very mysterious, so he didn't think of it for a while.
Seeing Chongyang's eyes gradually radiating fiery essence, the flame demon laughed hoarsely.
"What are you laughing at?" Chongyang clenched his fists, "Come and heal me right away!"
Thinking that the shackles could finally be lifted, Chongyang couldn't help but tremble.
"Don't worry, little one, I can cure you, but treating such a condition is not the same as a simple treatment that will allow your injuries to heal quickly. "In short, according to my diagnosis, the key to your magical illness lies in the elemental channels in your body......"
The so-called elemental channel is the internal veins in which the magician absorbs the elements from the outside world. The cultivation of a magician from level one to level seven is essentially to activate more and more elemental channels, thereby increasing the speed and quality of the formation of mana.
Generally speaking, seven elemental passages are used for first-level magicians, nineteen are second-level magicians, forty-one are third-level, seventy-nine are fourth-level, one hundred and sixty-three is five-level, three-hundred-forty-seven is sixth, and seventeen-one is seven......
"What's wrong with my elemental passage?" Chongyang frowned tightly.
"Your elemental passage is different from the ordinary, huh...... For example, if the Elemental Passage is a large river, your Elemental Passage is like two smaller rivers side by side, separated by a layer of beach. ”
"Juxtaposed rivers?" Chongyang tried to construct the scene in his mind.
"The element is the river, the channel is the river, and the wider the river, the better. Your two parallel rivers are nearly twice as large as ordinary rivers, but because they are separated by a river beach, they are much smaller than ordinary rivers. ”
Chongyang slowly understood.
"That is, inside my elemental channel...... Something divides it in half, splitting an elemental channel into two?"
"Yes, so to speak. "Flame Demon Dao.
"At the beginning, when you were a first-level magician, the number of elemental passages was still small, and the two parallel rivers could work together to transport river water, so your magic cultivation was no different from ordinary people's, or even better. But from the second level, due to the increase in the number of river channels and complicated ones, the flow of the river is messy, and often only one side of the river can work, and your magic cultivation will begin to become duller than ordinary people. Eventually, when the river reached the third level, the flow of the river doubled and became blocked, so ......"
"The elements can't be absorbed further, and cultivation can't go any further. Chongyang gritted his teeth.
The heavy shadow of life was finally unraveled at this moment.
"So, to cure your illness, you have to remove all the 'river beaches' of the elemental channels in your body and merge the two rivers into a normal one! In this way, not only will you be able to return to normal, but you will also double the speed of your mana cultivation because the elemental channels are twice as wide as those of ordinary people!" said the Flame Demon with a smile.
The Elemental Passage is a person who is naturally wider than ordinary people, and he is a Heavenly Vertical Talent in Magical Power Cultivation.
"As long as this damn illness is cured, I can go from magical waste to magical genius. Chongyang was very excited.
"However, it is not so easy to remove this 'river beach', and with my strength, there is no way to do it directly, but with the help of some medicines, it can be successfully dissolved. ”
"What medicine?"
The Flame Demon paused, and opened his mouth to say the names of more than a dozen medicinal materials and potions one after another, and Chongyang remembered them one by one in his heart.
His basic skills in pharmacy are extremely solid, and he remembers more than ten kinds of medicinal materials and the functional properties and ingredients of the potions clearly. After silently calculating in his heart, thirteen of the eighteen medicinal herbs and potions in total already had a way to come, and only the remaining five were relatively difficult to obtain.
"Scarlet Roland, Eagle Head Dhara Root, Amethyst Rhino Horn Powder, Centennial Red Lotus Milk, Secret Sleeping Elixir. ”
Chongyang pondered for a long time. These five things are so rare and valuable that they are not seen in the market at all, and they can only appear in the Imperial Capital Auction House. This means that money is needed, lots and lots of money.
"You have to get in touch with home. Chongyang understood that the money he earned from making scrolls alone would definitely not be enough to buy these five things in the Imperial Capital auction. There was no choice but to reach out to the family and ask for money.
Thinking that it might take a long time to lift the shackles, Chongyang couldn't help but look a little lost.
"Don't be discouraged, little one, although it will take some effort to cure your illness, it does not mean that you must cure your illness before you can start to grow stronger. The Fire Demon laughed.
Chongyang's eyes lit up.
"I can't cure you right away, but I can start teaching you a new type of fire magic based on my new theories! The Flame Demon said proudly, "Then, you will eventually become the strongest magician in the continent." ”
Chongyang looked at the flame demon and took a deep breath.
"The strongest in the mainland or something, I don't have the luxury of expecting it now. At the very least, I just want to have the strength to protect myself from being wantonly harmed. "It's you," he said calmly, "but you...... Firedemon, you have given me so much, but you really just want me to revitalize fire magic?
Hearing this, the fire demon was silent for a while, and the flames slowly floated above the room.
"This is not in the content of the contract between you and me, because what I want is a hundred times more difficult than you to become the strongest magician in the continent......
Chongyang looked at him quietly.
"After you revitalize your fire magic...... If you're willing, try to see if you can make me human again. Yan Demon said lightly, with a hint of helplessness and melancholy in his words.
