Under One Person: I Opened the Age of Mythology

Chapter 17 Experimental Subject No. 002 - Pharmacist Liuli

In the evening of that day, the three arrived in Hangzhou and returned to the wooden cabin, and Xia Ye began to make arrangements.

The first thing to solve was the housing problem. Since there was only one bedroom and Chen Duo was a girl, there was no room for three people, so he thought about expanding it.

Since it was a physical job, Xiao Zizai naturally took on the hard labor. He was happy to do so. Fully mobilizing his muscles could allow him to better control his body, and he could regard it as a form of practice.

Therefore, in the next three hours, Xia Ye was in command and Xiao Zizai took action. They quickly completed the basic expansion and expanded two rooms. The subsequent insect-proof, moisture-proof, ventilation reinforcement, and simple furniture were also quickly completed.

After putting the mattress and daily necessities bought on the way back, the housing problem was solved. After taking a shower, Xiao Zi went straight back to his new house, while Xia Ye took Chen Duo to her room.

Looking at Chen Duo who still had a calm face, he smiled slightly and squatted down: "You will live here from now on, how about it, do you still like it?"

"..."

Chen Duo was silent.

Xia Ye could see that Chen Duo was still very nervous. Although his face was expressionless, cold sweat had already appeared on his forehead and his body was trembling slightly.

At this moment, she was like a kitten that had been tamed by its owner for a long time, got used to everything, but was suddenly given away. Her eyes were full of anxiety and her heart was filled with fear.

"Ah……"

Noticing these details, Xia Ye did not ask any more questions. Instead, a light flashed in his eyes and he used "Mingli" to check her body to confirm her current condition.

It can be seen that the "Gu Shen Dan" that he specially refined for this girl is still very effective. Under the influence of the medicine, her true Qi condensed into a "Qi Pill" in the lower Dantian. All the original Gu were absorbed on it and slowly rotated with it as the center.

This method was created by Xia Ye with reference to the "Dan Shi" principle of the Tang Sect. Dan Shi is also a highly toxic substance, condensed from Qi poison, and after refining it is stored in the Dantian, which is similar to the original Gu.

In his opinion, this is the best way to control the original Gu. He would condense and store it on a daily basis and release it when needed, so as not to harm his own life or shake the foundation.

As for why he didn't directly help Chen Duo get rid of the original Gu, it wasn't that Xia Ye couldn't do it, but he felt... it was unnecessary.

Chen Duo’s original tragedy and all the problems were not actually entirely the fault of the original Gu. It was at most a “trigger”, and the final focus was still on “physical and mental growth”.

In Xia Ye's eyes, like the myriad of skills and magic in the world, the primitive Gu is just a means, a tool. The reason why the company regards it as a disaster is because of its uncontrollable nature, which can be easily solved.

He also remembered that what Chen Duo wanted most before she died was "freedom" and "choice", so after helping her "heal" and correctly understand the world, he would also give her freedom.

But before that...

"Don't worry, everything in the past is over, you are safe now." Xia Ye said softly, demonstrated the use of various things, and then walked out of Chen Duo's room.

He knew very well that the most important thing to treat Chen Duo was patience. For now, he had to let her adapt herself. Only when she was familiar with the environment and no longer so nervous could he make subsequent attempts.

As an alchemist and a doctor, Xia Ye has traveled across most of China and seen all kinds of things in the world. He knows how strong a person's adaptability can be. Now all he has to do is wait.

After closing the door, he turned around and walked back into the clinic. He sat at the table, opened the drawer, and took out the computer from the secret compartment. A new file was created:
[Experimental Subject File:]

[Experimental Subject No. 002] [Experimental Subject: Chen Duo]

【Gender: Female】

【Age: 12】

[Experimental stage: not yet started]

"Um……"

After inputting this, Xia Ye fell into deep thought. The next step was to completely determine the direction of Chen Duo's experiment and finalize the details.

According to his plan, in the initial stage, each experimental subject will correspond to a path he wants to explore and prepare for becoming an immortal in the future. Therefore, Chen Duo's path is naturally different from Xiao Zi's, and they are independent of each other.

Based on the previous seven questions and answers, it is not difficult to see that Xia Ye first divided the whole process into two stages: the first is "human", and only when "human" reaches the extreme can one ascend to "immortality".

At the same time, he further subdivided "the way of man" into several categories, including "body", "soul", "birth, aging, sickness and death", "seven emotions and six desires", "innate true qi", "all the ways of the world", etc., striving to reach the extreme and combine all the ways into one.

At the moment, what Xiao Zizai is doing corresponds to the "way of the physical body". Chen Duo is naturally no exception. She herself is a holy child with a Gu body and has great talent. The path she takes should correspond to the "Gu".

From ancient times to the present, "the way of Gu" is inseparable from "disease". It is both "the way of poisoning and spreading disease" and "the way of eliminating disease and eliminating suffering". It always cannot be separated from the word "disease", and the path is thus determined!
Now that the path has been decided, the next step is to "name it"...

"'Sick'..."

Thinking of this, Xia Ye whispered to himself, then narrowed his eyes.

"It is better to practice medicine and save lives than to spread the plague. It is just a means, it can be used but it cannot be called a name."

In his opinion, since Xiao Zizai's path is the path of "Asura", then Chen Duo must be comparable to it. After much thought, he decided to start with "saving the world and saving people". This name sounds better than "Plague God" or "Plague Ghost".

"Um……"

In this case, Xia Ye began to search in his mind, thinking about which of the various Chinese legends were related to "practicing medicine to save the world" and could be used as a reference to prepare the elixir.

Since Xiao Zizai's "Asura Road" was a Buddhist legend, he subconsciously started to ponder it from the Buddhist legend. Soon his eyes lit up and he remembered a legend:
It is rumored that there is a Buddha in the world, whose name is "Medicine Master Lapis Lazuli Light Tathagata", also known as "Medicine Buddha", and is the master of the "Pure Lapis Lazuli World" in the East.

When he was practicing the Bodhisattva path in the past, he made twelve great vows, vowing to relieve the suffering of all sentient beings, to enable them to have complete faculties, and to attain liberation. Therefore, he became a Buddha based on these vows.

"This Medicine Buddha is also known as the 'Great Physician Buddha' and the 'King of Medicine'. His aspirations are also in line with the principle of 'practicing medicine to save the world', which is quite good..."

"In addition, the realm he controls is called 'Pure Glaze', which means it is transparent and clean, pure and spotless, and not stained by mud. This is consistent with Chen Duo. Although he was born in the filthy place of the Medicine Fairy Association, he is like glazed white jade, not stained by dust."

In addition, from a personal perspective, Xia Ye also hopes that Chen Duo can maintain this rare "purity", which is a blessing and also a wish in his heart.

So, he decided immediately and started typing on the keyboard:
[Experimental subject No. 002 - Pharmacist Liuli]!
