Chương 22: 22 Qingshan Town, Little Fairy Doctor!

Lu Chen walked into Qingshan Town.

The streets were bustling with people, most of whom were dressed as mercenaries.

Soon, he saw a girl under the eaves of a house.

The girl was dressed in a plain white dress, with a delicate and gentle face.

Several wounded mercenaries surrounded her, waiting for her to treat their wounds.

Little Fairy Doctor.

The name flashed through Lu Chen's mind.

Sure enough, it's here.

Little Fairy Doctor squatted down in front of a mercenary, carefully cleaning the wound on his arm.

She applied the crushed herbs to the wound and bandaged it with a clean strip of cloth.

"Alright, don't get it wet for three days."

Little Fairy Doctor spoke up.

"Thank you, Little Fairy Doctor."

The mercenary quickly thanked him and stood up to give up his seat.

The next mercenary immediately sat down, rolled up his sleeves, revealing a hideous scratch on his shoulder.

Little Fairy Doctor glanced at the wound and frowned slightly.

She took a few herbs from the medicine basket and crushed them in a stone mortar.

Lu Chen stood not far away, watching her.

Just then, a system notification popped up.

[Quest triggered: Help Little Fairy Doctor heal her injuries.] [Quest prompt: A few days ago, Little Fairy Doctor entered the Monster Mountain Range to collect herbs. She was attacked by monsters, narrowly escaped death, but was injured in the leg.] Upon completion of the task, you will receive one chance to duplicate the task and a random reward.

Lu Chen looked at the system's prompt.

Help Little Fairy Doctor heal her injuries.

"Accept the mission."

Lu Chen silently recited in his heart.

[Task accepted.] He snapped out of his thoughts and his gaze fell on Little Fairy Doctor.

She was still focused on treating the mercenary's wounds.

Lu Chen didn't go forward to disturb them, but simply stood aside and waited.

……

After treating the last mercenary's wounds, Little Fairy Doctor stood up.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

He raised his hand to wipe his face, a hint of fatigue showing on his face.

She has treated dozens of injured people since this morning.

Little Fairy Doctor packed up her medicine basket and walked to the side.

She walked with a slight limp.

With each step, his right leg would pause slightly.

Lu Chen followed.

Little Fairy Doctor came to a big tree and sat down.

It's quiet here, and not many people pass by.

She lifted her skirt, revealing her right calf.

A strip of cloth was wrapped around his calf, and the cloth was soaked with blood.

The Little Fairy Doctor carefully untied the strips of cloth.

The wound beneath the cloth strip was exposed.

Three deep scratches stretched from his calf to his ankle.

The edges of the wound were an abnormal bluish-purple.

The Little Fairy Doctor took out a few herbs from her medicine basket and applied them to the wound.

The moment the herbs touched the wound, Little Fairy Doctor gasped.

Cold sweat beaded on his forehead.

She gritted her teeth and applied the herbs evenly.

Just as I was about to re-bandage it, a voice came from the side.

"This treatment won't work."

Little Fairy Doctor raised her head.

A boy stood in front of her.

It wears a black cloth top and a thick snake tail for its lower body.

The dark green scales gleamed with a cold, eerie light in the sunlight.

Little Fairy Doctor was startled.

She's lived here for so long and has never seen a snake-man.

"You... you're a snake-man?"

The Little Fairy Doctor's voice sounded a little nervous.

"Um."

Lu Chen nodded.

Little Fairy Doctor looked him over, a hint of curiosity flashing in her eyes.

"You just said that this treatment won't work?"

Little Fairy Doctor asked.

"Your wound is quite serious and needs to be treated quickly."

Lu Chen said.

"Applying herbal medicine can only temporarily suppress the symptoms; it doesn't address the root cause."

Upon hearing this, Little Fairy Doctor's eyes flashed with surprise.

"Do you have a solution?"

Little Fairy Doctor asked.

"have."

Lu Chen said.

Little Fairy Doctor's eyes lit up.

Little Fairy Doctor looked at him and hesitated for a moment.

Although she had no prejudice against snake people, they were complete strangers.

She still had some doubts when a stranger suddenly offered to treat her injuries.

Lu Chen noticed her doubts but didn't say anything more.

He took out several medicinal herbs from his system inventory.

Purple ginseng, green vine, and a third-tier water-attribute magic core.

When Little Fairy Doctor saw these medicinal herbs, a look of surprise flashed in her eyes.

Each of these medicinal herbs is quite valuable.

Especially that third-tier water-attribute magic core.

"You want to refine elixirs?"

Little Fairy Doctor asked.

"Um."

Lu Chen nodded.

He raised his hand and activated the fighting spirit within his body.

A deep blue flame condensed in his palm.

Sea Heart Flame.

When Little Fairy Doctor saw the ball of flame, her pupils contracted slightly.

Different kind of fire.

The aura emanating from that deep blue flame was undoubtedly that of a different kind of fire.

This snake-man actually possesses a strange fire?

Lu Chen threw the first medicinal herb into the flames.

He controlled the heat to keep the medicinal liquid stable.

Next, add the green vine.

The green vine tumbled in the flames and soon turned into a bluish liquid.

The two clumps of liquid medicine slowly approached each other in the flames and began to merge.

Lu Chen's technique was very steady, and every step was methodical.

Little Fairy Doctor sat to the side, watching intently.

The two clumps of medicine completely merged together.

Lu Chen picked up the third-tier water-attribute magic core and threw it into the flames.

The demon core slowly melted under the scorching heat of the strange fire.

The color of the medicine began to change.

It gradually changed from bluish-purple to light blue.

A rich aroma of medicine wafted through the air.

The little fairy doctor was invigorated by the aroma of the medicine.

If the aroma alone has such an effect, the quality of this elixir must be quite high.

The flame in Lu Chen's hand continued to scorch the medicinal liquid.

The medicinal liquid became increasingly thick, gradually condensing into a pill-like shape.

He abruptly withdrew the flame from his hand.

A pale blue pill has taken shape.

It is perfectly round, with clear red patterns, and emits a faint glow.

The fourth-grade elixir, the Water Healing Elixir.

Little Fairy Doctor looked at the pill, a look of shock flashing in her eyes.

Fourth-grade elixir.

This snake-man was actually a fourth-grade alchemist.

"Take it."

Lu Chen handed the Water Healing Pill to Little Fairy Doctor.

Little Fairy Doctor took the pill, her hands trembling slightly.

A fourth-grade elixir is priceless.

He just casually gave it to himself?

"This... this is too valuable."

Little Fairy Doctor said.

"Take it."

Lu Chen repeated it again.

Little Fairy Doctor looked at him and bit her lip.

Then put the water-based medicine into your mouth.

The pill melts upon entering the mouth, transforming into a cool medicinal power that flows into the body.

The medicinal properties flowed along the meridians and converged at the wound on the right calf.

Little Fairy Doctor could clearly feel a cool sensation coming from the wound.

The coolness gradually turned into warmth.

The wound started to itch.

She looked down at her calves.

The three deep scratches were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The skin around the wound regrows.

In less than fifteen minutes.

The wound has completely healed.

Only three faint scars remained.

Little Fairy Doctor raised her hand and touched her calf.

It doesn't hurt anymore.

It doesn't hurt at all anymore.

She tried moving her ankle.

Little Fairy Doctor raised her head and looked at Lu Chen.

A look of shock flashed in his eyes.

"It's really healed."

There was an air of disbelief in her voice.

Thank you.

Little Fairy Doctor quickly replied.

"I still don't know your name."

"Lu Chen".

"Lu Chen, thank you."

Little Fairy Doctor said earnestly.

"fine."

Lu Chen said calmly.

Just then, a system notification popped up.

[Mission complete: Help Little Fairy Doctor heal her injuries.] [You have been granted one copy opportunity.] [Received a random reward: a poison-attribute combat skill, Thousand Poison Palm.] The reward has been sent to your system inventory.

Lu Chen looked at the system's notification and a smile crept onto his face.

Ten Thousand Poison Palm.

Poison-attribute combat skills.

He didn't rush to check, but instead pulled his thoughts back and focused on reality.

Little Fairy Doctor was still looking at him, her eyes filled with gratitude.

Just as Little Fairy Doctor was about to say something, a series of footsteps approached.

Several mercenaries walked over.

They were dressed in uniform khaki robes with a wolf's head embroidered on the chest.

The Wolf Head Mercenary Group.

The leader was a burly man with a face full of scars.

His gaze fell on Little Fairy Doctor.

"Little Fairy Doctor, our commander requests your presence."

The burly man spoke.

There was not a trace of politeness in his tone.

It sounds more like a command.
