Mixed Blessing System

After saying those words to Lothur, Sofie stopped the bleeding in that man’s body to prevent something worse.

He was a mortal from this cultivation world, so his anatomy was not so different from that of earthlings. Thus, he could not afford to lose too much of his blood, or he would have weakened gas transport in his body.

Then, before fixing the ‘mess’ in his body, a doctor would have to prevent bleeding to ensure the integrity of the tissues in his body.

That was not a difficult job for a doctor with spiritual cultivation, so Sofie quickly managed to stop the different bleeds in that body.

In part, she used pressure to temporarily stop the blood from continuing to leave that body, but she also used some pills.

The pills she used were different from those capable of promoting improvements in attributes or significantly transforming their users. Alchemists produced pills that had effects like the ones Lothur had ingested. But pills capable of preventing or provoking specific reactions were usually developed by doctors.

Obviously, if an alchemist wanted to produce something like this, he would have the skills to do so. But there was no need for someone so specialized to be involved in this work. Doctors knew how to deal with substances and use their favorable properties to treat illnesses.

So producing low-effect pills was not difficult for these professionals, and that was also why these resources had limited action and were usually not sold.

Since she had produced those pills herself, Sofie used such a thing with the mortal in front of her, feeling the investment was worth it as she could train and learn with it.

Anyway, Lothur saw the effect of the pills begin, noticing microscopic nets appearing around the blood vessels all over this person’s body.

That took effect quickly, and in only 7 minutes, every millimeter of this man’s blood vessels was covered by it. Consequently, the ‘open spaces’ were closed with other blood elements trapped in these nets, stopping the man’s internal bleeding.

Simultaneously, other medicinal substances began to bring that body into a unique state. Lothur noticed this not only because of the changes inside that organism but also due to the expression on the patient’s face. 𝚋𝚎𝚍𝚗𝚘𝚟ｅｌ.ｃ𝚘𝚖

That old fellow slowly lost the pained expression on his face, became much calmer, and his breathing slowed down in frequency.

Sofie then began the procedure to fix this person’s broken bones, using a type of massage that, if it were not for the pills from before, that fellow would be in agony.

“Sofie, answer me one thing…” Lothur commented in a low voice as people in the surrounding area looked curiously at the situation.

Even some children were standing around, watching Sofie work with a glint in their eyes.

“What do you want to know?” She asked as she continued her work.

“Once Doctor Snee did something similar on me to what you are doing now on this person… Why didn’t I get pills to relieve pain in that situation?” He questioned, feeling that his previous suffering might have been unnecessary.

Hearing that, Sofie blushed a little and said. “That day, I forgot to buy the herb needed to produce the pill you needed…”

It was not unusual for doctors in this world to only produce pills of this kind after seeing their patients. The reason for this? Simple, each patient, especially cultivators, has different needs, even when they have the same problem.

So doctors generally tried to have as many medicines with them as possible to use them to the extent needed for each patient.

Unfortunately for Lothur, one of the herbs Doctor Snee needed to produce something effective for him that day had run out the day before, and Sofie had failed to buy more. Because of this, in that previous situation, the doctor who attended to this silver-haired young man had told him that he needed shock treatment not to become crippled… pan(da-n0vel.c)om

That was not entirely untrue since if Lothur had not received the treatment, his body could have healed in the wrong way and guaranteed him sequelae. Since the treatment could only be done without the pill to relieve the pain, that young man truly needed shock treatment.

Lothur’s expression turned dark after Sofie’s words, but he did not blame her or Doctor Snee. At the end of the day, a doctor could not be blamed for a patient’s distress!

‘Damned Alric!’ He cursed in his mind. ‘Good thing I taught you a good lesson!’

After thinking about it, Lothur returned his attention to the procedure Sofie was performing, correcting the position of bones and muscles in that body.

“Uh?” He exclaimed in surprise when he saw that she had overlooked something.

“What?” She heard him and questioned in surprise, interested in answering her junior’s questions.

“Sofie, have you finished taking care of his right knee?” Lothur asked without saying what the problem was.

“Yes, why do you want to know about it?”

“Can I examine him on my own?”

Sofie thought about it for a few moments, feeling that letting Lothur get his hands on it would be okay since this man’s case was not deadly, but it was not simple either. That is, he probably would not die, but he would hardly go back to the way he was before.

Since his future would hardly change in case Lothur made a mistake, Sofie nodded and said. “All right. Let me see what you can do.”

Lothur smiled at her and sat down in her seat, this time with Sofie watching him as he did the treatment of that man.

As he placed his hands on one of that patient’s knees, Lothur focused on the anomaly that Sofie had not resolved.

‘That’s not anatomically interesting. If that part stays at this angle, he won’t be able to walk normally again…’ Lothur pressed his hands together, causing that man’s entire body to convulse and such a person to feel pain for the first time in a while.

The people in the surrounding area were startled when that old fellow started to show signs of suffering again, taking steps backward and looking at Sofie.

This woman, on the other hand, paid attention to what Lothur was doing, and because she saw no error in his movements, she did not stop him and continued watching.

‘What is he doing? Why is he making this patient feel pain in a place I have already treated?’ She wondered without understanding why since she thought she had solved all the problems there.

The technique used by her, Doctor Snee, and now Lothur caused the patient a lot of pain only when applying it to irregularities that needed to be corrected. If there were no problems in the massaged part, the person would feel at most pressure in that region.

Hence, it did not take her long to realize that there was something else to be corrected in that part of the patient’s knee, and Lothur was doing what she had been unable to.

With that move of his, Sofie went into a state of contemplation, allowing Lothur to take the reins of the situation and continue treating that patient for parts she had not gone through yet.
