Chapter 614: Divine Pharmacist and Savage Sentinel

"Right at your door?" Mu You looked strange.

"Yes, of course. The name was given by our expedition team. Because the shape of this mountain looks like an upside-down gourd, we named it 'Gourd Mountain'. The real name is not known yet."

"Moreover, the path around Gourd Mountain is also very consistent with the outline drawn on the map." Solomon said.

"So that's it..."

Mu You understood a little.

When the Fool Ancestor went to the sky, the several sky cities could also be teleported to each other, so the areas around the locations of the several sky cities were the areas where the Fool Ancestors were most active. It is not surprising to find clues in these places.

"Okay, thank you very much, I'll go over and take a look." Mu You said.

"Then... do you need me to dismiss the personnel?" Solomon suddenly said.

"Ah?" Mu You didn't understand for a while.

"Well, I mean, there are quite a few players exploring Gourd Mountain now..." Solomon laughed dryly.

Although Mu You didn't say what the map was, he could still feel that it might be a treasure map.

The master was obviously coming here to search for treasure, but now the hundreds of millions of players in Dawn City are actively exploring the land, and the Hulu Mountain at the door is the first to bear the brunt. Although other people don't have a treasure map, after all, the number of people is here. With so many players digging deep into the ground to explore, it is theoretically impossible for the treasure to be hidden. If you are unlucky, it is not impossible for someone to find the treasure and take it away before the master.

"Well, I appreciate your kindness, but it's really unnecessary..."

Mu You sweated a little, it turned out that he was going to use public power for private purposes.

Mu You is not too worried about this aspect, after all, Dawn City has only been flying for three days.

Others don't have a specific treasure location, so they can only try their luck randomly, and the X-marked location on the map is relatively hidden, just located halfway up a steep mountain. There is no flying ability in this place, and it is not easy to get up. At least in less than three days of development, it is unlikely that a player will reach here.

If the treasure has really been taken away by the players, then it can only be considered his bad luck.

"Okay, then Master, please feel free to talk if you need anything."

"Okay, thank you very much."

After hanging up the private chat, Mu You immediately controlled the character to teleport over.

【You came to the City of Dawn through the teleportation array. 】

【You are teleported to the edge of Dawn City...】

【Outside the fog, what appears in front of you is an upside-down mountain, presenting a strange landform of thin at the bottom and thick at the top. The top of the mountain is wide and gentle, and the mountainside gradually becomes thinner. At the bottom of the mountain, it is even thinner. From a distance, it looks like a huge green gourd, hanging upside down between heaven and earth, making you admire the ingenuity of nature...】

【At this moment, there are dense figures trying to climb up on this mountain...】

【You transform into a sparrow man, spread your wings and fly up along the mountain. The fools clinging to the mountain on the way cast surprised eyes at you...】

Sure enough, many people have been exploring this mountain. Fortunately, because the terrain is too steep, most players are still staying below the halfway point of the mountain. It seems that no one has reached the X position marked on the map yet.

[You landed halfway up the mountain. There was nothing around. The mountain wall was covered with slippery moss and thorny vines. There was no place to step...]

[You flew along the mountain wall and searched, but did not find anything unusual...]

At this time, Mu You's character had arrived at the location marked on the map, but judging from the description of the surrounding environment, this place did not look like a place where humans could survive for a long time.

Mu You did not give up and continued to search patiently.

[When you flew over a mountain wall, you suddenly noticed that there was something unusual on the left side of the mountain. ]

[You activated your supersensory ability to the maximum and found that there was a hidden cave between the hanging cliffs. It was just covered by dense vines and was difficult to detect from the outside...]

"Found it!"

Mu You's eyes lit up and he hurriedly controlled the character to move forward.

[You flew to this mountain wall, cut off the surrounding vines, and stepped into the cave. 】

【The arched cave is empty, without any living creatures. There are only stone tables and chairs and some simple tools placed in front of the mountain walls on both sides...】

【You come to the depths of the cave, where a square cave has been dug out by humans. There are two wooden shelves inside. One of them is filled with animal skin scrolls tied with silk threads, and the other is filled with some bottles, jars, stone mortars and other medicine-making tools. 】

【Inside the room, there is a rotten wooden bed, and a human-shaped skeleton is leaning against the corner. The skeleton is holding an animal skin scroll in its left hand, and a palm-sized wild man fang ornament is hanging around its neck. 】

【You walk to the skeleton to check, and soon confirm that it is the skeleton of a fool. Judging from the state of the skeleton, it seems that he has just died a few years ago...】

"Oh?" Mu You was stunned.

He was not surprised to find the skeleton of a fool here, but he was surprised that the text said that this person had just died a few years ago?

You know, the ancestors of the Fools returned to the Star Spirit World from the High Sky more than 1,300 years ago, and this group of new Fools just returned to the High Sky half a month ago. During this period, there should be no Fools in the High Sky World...

Could it be that this person did not follow the Sky City back to the Star Spirit World, but stayed in the High Sky World?

[You stepped forward and took the animal skin from the skeleton's hand. There were some words written in the Star Spirit language on it...]

[“If you see this scroll, it means I didn’t hold on. I have been waiting here for more than 1,300 years, but I still couldn’t wait for my compatriots to rescue me…]

A long paragraph of text description popped up, and Mu You quickly browsed it.

This animal skin recorded in detail the life of this fool and the reason why he was trapped here.

This fool ancestor, named ‘Abby Pruett’, was a seventh-level potion master. 1,500 years ago, he came to the high-sky world with Dawn City.

However, because of his status as a high-level potion master, he did not go to adventure and open up wasteland like other fool ancestors, but stayed behind with other potion masters to carry out the order left by the Lord of Dawn City at that time: to study the pharmacy of the high sky.

All kinds of potions in the high sky world come from the ‘God of Medicine’ and Among its followers, only those who believe in the God of Medicine have the ability to transform various exotic beast materials into potions.

The Fools did not find the God of Medicine's body, and the God of Medicine's authority may have been controlled by the God Devouring Beast. In other words, in theory, it is impossible for other creatures to make medicine in the High Sky World.

However, according to the inferences of many magic potion masters at the time, the magic potion system of the Star Spirit World was probably designed by the God of Medicine, so magic potion and the medicine of the High Sky World may be related.

Therefore, the Lord of Dawn at that time deliberately left a group of magic potion masters to conduct research in the rear. If they could crack the medicine principle of the High Sky World, they would have a chance to greatly enhance the overall combat effectiveness of the Fools.

Unfortunately, this kind of research is not that simple. It is simply impossible to use mortal wisdom to analyze the authority of gods. In the story of Fang Ye, dozens of potion masters have been working together for more than a hundred years, but there is still no clue.

More than a hundred years have passed, and the potion masters have either given up hope early and rushed to the front line to participate in the battle, or have been driven crazy and insane by this sense of despair.

Only Abby is still insisting on research.

After fifty years of fruitless research, Abby finally ushered in a turning point.

One day, when he was collecting herbs in the jungle outside the city of Dawn, he met a seriously injured and dying savage.

Abby kindly treated the savage and barely saved his life. The two became friends and learned the name of the savage during the communication. His name was ‘Muro’, a savage sentinel. Because he was separated from his tribe, he could not find his way home and had to wander for a long time.

Under Abby's treatment, Muro gradually regained his ability to move and began to He began to find herbs in the jungle and made ointments with the folk recipes of his hometown to heal himself.

It was also in the process of watching Muro making ointments that Abby suddenly realized the difference between magic potions and divine medicines. It was impossible to completely crack the divine medicine, but he could find another way to simulate the process with magic medicine to make a second-level fake divine medicine.

After that, Abby began to humbly learn the folk recipes of the savages from Muro, and deduced the usage of various real materials step by step. Combined with the framework of magic medicine, he finally formed a set of original real material pharmaceutical system, which he called "divine medicine".

1,300 years ago, on the eve of Sky City's withdrawal to the Star Spirit World, Muro finally created the first recipe for divine medicine: memory potion, a divine medicine specifically for amnesia.

This divine medicine was specially created for Muro because Muro's amnesia was very serious. He often forgot Abby's appearance and confused him with other fools. Usually, he could only rely on the "savage teeth" given by Muro to identify Abby.

The memory magic medicine requires a plant called "wisdom tree", and the fruit produced is the main medicine. This tree can only be produced in fertile areas with humid climate.

That's why Abby said goodbye to Muro and teleported to the Sky City here.

Originally, he was going to go back after picking the medicine, but who would have thought that when he came back, the Sky City had hastily withdrawn to the Star Spirit World with other fools.

Abby was trapped in the high sky world, and he could no longer return to the original Dawn City area, because the two areas were too far apart, and the soul-guiding lanterns could only teleport each other within a short distance. Without the long-distance teleportation of the Sky City, if he wanted to walk alone with a pair of legs, he might not be able to reach it in his lifetime.

After that, Abby could only camp near Hulu Mountain, hoping that one day, the Sky City would fly again and take him home.

However, he waited until his life was exhausted, but he did not wait for his compatriots to arrive.

Mu You couldn't help but sigh after reading it. Abby had persisted for more than a thousand years. If he only lived a few more years, he would be able to wait for the arrival of their descendants. Unfortunately... it can only be said that fate played tricks on him, and he fell in the darkness before dawn.

[“…I know I’m going to die. The only two regrets in my life are that I failed to hand over my research results to the city lord, and that I failed to fulfill my promise to Muro…Before I left, I promised him that I would come back in a month at most and cure his amnesia…I would rather he forget this promise, but I know that Muro is a man who values ​​promises. He will forget people’s appearances, but he will never forget promises. He said he would wait for me to come back, so he would foolishly wait for me in the same place, even if he wasted the rest of his life…”]

[“I made a lot of ‘drifting bottles’, wrote my location and deeds on animal skins, and let the birds take them to all parts of the world, hoping that someone would see them and help me fulfill the promise, but I know that the hope is slim…”]

[“…The latecomer, please be sure to take this tooth to find Muro in the Shrine Forest and tell him about my deeds…Abby is grateful…”]

This savage named ‘Muro’ is obviously the savage outside the city of Dawn now. Abby guessed correctly that the savage is still waiting for his return, even though he has completely forgotten what Abby looks like and even her gender. Whenever he meets a Fool, regardless of gender, age or young, he will jump out to greet and ask for things.

What the savage wants is not a treasure at all, but the tooth on Abby’s chest that belongs to the savage himself.

Mu You shook his head and continued to look down. There are two more pieces of information below.

[“…I have not wasted more than a thousand years. I continued to deduce ‘Divine Medicine’ in this cave and finally achieved some success. My research experience is all recorded in those animal skins… Later comers, if you are a Fool, please be sure to bring these scrolls back and give them to the lords of the major cities. Don’t let my hard work be covered in dust…”]

Seeing this, Mu You decisively controlled the character to collect all the scrolls on the bookshelf and retrieve them into reality.

[You have obtained the ‘Divine Medicine Experience * 572’. ]

A pile of animal skin scrolls with a rotten smell appeared in front of Mu You, almost forming a small mountain on the ground.

Several people in the room were attracted by the movement and turned to look at him.

“What the hell? Whose warehouse did you empty again?” The night watchman came over curiously.

Mu You didn’t have time to answer, and hurriedly picked up the top scroll and opened it to take a look.

Fortunately, these scrolls were well preserved, and the words on the scrolls were still clear.

“Divine Medicine and Magical Alchemy Material Comparison Table (27)…” The herbalist glanced at the title of the scroll, was stunned for a moment, and came behind Mu You to look without saying a word.

After a few simple glances, the two were quickly surprised.

This was not the kind of research experience that Mu You imagined, but a magic potion ‘dictionary’, just like the Chinese-English dictionary, which ‘translated’ every real material into the corresponding magic potion material, and then allowed the user to indirectly understand the pharmacology of the divine medicine through the pharmacology of these magic potion materials.

There is no doubt that this is an extremely simple and crude comparison method. The real potion produced in reality will inevitably have large deviations and side effects, but it is correct in the general direction.

Therefore, as long as the level of the potion master is high enough and the technique is skillful enough, there is a probability that the next-level real potion, that is, the pseudo-divine medicine, can be produced in theory.

Moreover, with this "dictionary" comparison table, they don't need to study the formulas one by one from scratch. In the future, every time they get a kind of divine potion, they only need to analyze its similar potion ingredients, and they can get the corresponding real materials through this comparison table, and then violently infer the secondary formula of this potion.

For example, the divine power potion, currently only top players like Mu You who are rich and powerful have the opportunity to take it, and ordinary fools have no chance to touch it.

Once there is a formula, even if it is only a second-level potion, the added divine power is not as much as the genuine potion, but it can be mass-produced and can benefit all fools.

At that time, everyone can find materials to refine the divine potion by themselves, and I don't know how much divine expenditure can be saved.
