Douluo: Martial Soul Research Diary

Chapter 36 Mixed Pharmacology

Yang Wudi brought Ning Fengzhi information about the immortal herb "Qiluo Tulip," and also introduced him to the field of toxicology.

The vibrant colors and dazzling patterns all originated from Yang Wushuang's handiwork.

Yang Wudi can detoxify, so he can certainly concoct poisons.

What does preparing poison have to do with Han Tao?
Of course it does.

The "adaptation" of Blue Silver Grass not only includes external injuries and elements, but also toxins.

"Completing the adaptation to the toxins may allow Blue Silver Grass to grow in different areas."

After leaving the dark room and resting for half a day, he went to find this Yang Wudi.

"I've heard that the Po clan is extremely skilled in pharmacology, and seeing it today, I can confirm that their reputation is well-deserved."

"Clan Chief Yang, could you allow me, a junior, to witness your achievements?"

Yang Wudi focused intently on mixing three or four kinds of medicinal herbs and poisons together, holding a pestle and stirring and grinding them.

Find an opportunity to go up and strike up a conversation.

Seeing someone approaching, Yang Wudi stopped stirring and looked up.

"Han Tao, Sect Master Ning's disciple?"

Han Tao nodded.

"Come here, I have a gift for you."

"I've heard that the cooperation between the Broken Clan and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was facilitated by you, young friend."

"Consider this bottle of medicine a small gift for you."

Yang Wudi entered the room, opened the wooden display case, and a strong medicinal fragrance wafted out from inside.

He took out a bottle with a special ceramic shell and a label in the center bearing a large "Rainbow" character.

"This is my masterpiece, the Rainbow Potion, which can help Soul Masters cleanse their marrow and improve their aptitude."

Yang Wudi boasted about his own wares and then handed the porcelain vase to Han Tao.

Han Tao first took out a pair of gloves from the package, put them on, and then took the "Rainbow Potion".

"The sky after the rain reveals a rainbow; only after cleansing the marrow and purifying the body can one see clarity."

"Chief Yang, it has a good meaning."

While praising it, he put the bottle into his package.

Yang Wudi laughed heartily, not noticing Han Tao's subtle actions.

Soon after, he began the next phase of research and development of medicinal materials.

In the research and development of medicinal materials, even the slightest mistake can lead to different results.

Yang Wudi has now established a deep partnership with Ning Fengzhi, so there is no point in him sabotaging it, and it would only incur the teacher's displeasure.

Yang Wudi seems a bit too enthusiastic.
"Rainbow" is a gift given by Yang Wudi.

"Could this bottle of medicine be poison?"

This was something Han Tao couldn't fathom, because someone knowledgeable in pharmacology could make a casual stroke of a pen that most people wouldn't notice.

"Yang Wudi has no reason to target me."

Logically, there is no conflict of interest between the two, and he is only a level 24 Soul Master, posing almost no threat.

Unless, he wants to use me to blackmail Ning Fengzhi.

This might just be a joke; Ning Fengzhi being blackmailed because of Han Tao?

When choosing people, you have to choose the right ones. Wouldn't Ning Tian and Ning Rongrong be more appropriate? Who would use outsiders as bargaining chips to blackmail others?

"But."

Rainbow, this potion, may be one of the seven-colored poisons.

The seven-colored potion was made from seven different poisons mixed in specific proportions. Based on the names of the poisons, "rainbow" most likely represented one of the colors. Putting the porcelain bottle away, Han Tao dared not gamble on whether it was poison or not.

Han Tao didn't trust Yang Wudi, but he had to study pharmacology.

Planning for immortal herbs requires knowledge of pharmacology, developing blue silver grass requires knowledge of pharmacology, and the human body's meridians are closely related to pharmacology.

Is the development of meditation methods something that can be come up with on a whim?

Meridian theory, pharmacology, cultivation experience, and the characteristics of soul power—these are the foundations of meditation techniques.

Regardless of whether he has other motives, now is not the time for both sides to break off relations.

Ning Fengzhi was still in the sect, and his presence was like a mountain, which allowed Han Tao to relax a little.

In the following period, Han Tao became extremely busy again.

Busy with studying, busy with thinking, busy with self-cultivation.

The teachers at the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy do not teach pharmacology; this subject is perhaps only offered by the College of Botany.

However, the library of the Royal Academy of the Heavenly Dou Empire contains books on pharmacology.

The sect's library also contains books on pharmacology.

With Yang Wudi's arrival, the number of such books is increasing rapidly, but as of now, it is not as comprehensive as the Royal Academy of the Heaven Dou Empire.

Books only represent theory; real practice and verification must be carried out in a dedicated space.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has an experimental field built by Yang Wudi, with a large amount of medicinal materials, professional instruments, and a suitable environment, making it almost impeccable for those who love pharmacology.

If Han Tao had told his mentor that he wanted to conduct pharmacological research and needed to build such a laboratory, it's highly likely that his request wouldn't have been approved.

At this moment, with the help of Yang Wudi, Han Tao also achieved his goal.

"Pharmacology is mainly divided into two schools: pure pharmacology and mixed pharmacology."

Perhaps sensing Han Tao's eagerness to learn, Yang Wudi gave a brief introduction to the different schools of thought in pharmacology.

"Pure pharmacology believes that the characteristics of different medicinal materials should be extracted through some method, so that A is A and B is B."

"By mixing elements A and B using a certain formula, a completely new element C is obtained."

“Studying refining techniques, researching mixing formulas, and observing the properties of new elements—these are the main components of the pure pharmacology school.”

This research is remarkably similar to the chemical equations of the past, making it very easy to understand.

This content is not valuable; there are corresponding introductions in the books, and Yang Wudi is merely repeating the narration.

"Mixed pharmacology views medicinal materials as a whole, as an 'ecology,' rather than as a few simple elements."

"Mixed pharmacology studies the disruptive changes that occur when individual elements penetrate the overall ecosystem."

"It could also be the chaotic changes resulting from the penetration of one ecosystem into another."

“You can extract individual properties from medicinal herbs through certain methods, but you can’t do that with the human body. The human body is not isolated; it is necessarily an ecosystem composed of multiple elements.”

"Ecology is a whole; it is diverse, chaotic, and complex. Soul Masters who study this field need innate talent and exceptional spiritual intuition. My younger brother, Yang Wushuang..."

Yang Wudi did not continue speaking, but Han Tao understood that Yang Wushuang was a genius in the study of mixed pharmacology.

This part of the theory is not found in books, and you may not even have heard of it.

"We use a purely pharmacological approach to penetrate the complex and diverse human body with a single element, and the effects are immediate."

"However, over a longer timeframe, these positive factors tend to converge in a chaotic environment, making it difficult to calculate and draw conclusions using formulas."

"Therefore, my brother came to the conclusion that the extraction of medicinal materials and the refining of elixirs can be based on pure pharmacology, but once it comes to Soul Masters, a mixed pharmacology approach must be adopted."

At this moment, Han Tao is taking notes.

Yes, it is impossible to fully understand what Yang Wudi said, nor can it be judged to be correct.

Suddenly, Yang Wudi turned his head and stared at Han Tao.

"It seems you didn't take the rainbow I gave you."
