Chapter 45 Rare Medicines

"Ah Luo, now you know there are heavens beyond heavens and people beyond people, right!"

Later, I'll go hunting strange beasts with your Uncle Yi and the others. When you advance to the first-tier martial beast level, you and Yi Feng can go to the continent for some training!

It's important to understand that this continent isn't just our Eastern Continent; there's also the Western Continent, the Southern Continent, the Northern Continent, and the seas. While our main city is on the Eastern Continent, the world is vast, and what you see is only a small part of it.

"When you return from your training, I'll hand over the position of clan leader to you!"

Ko Chen patted his son's shoulder earnestly, looking at his son who had already reached his shoulder, and nodded with satisfaction.

Although he had always wanted to pass the position of clan leader to his son, it was clear that his son was not yet qualified enough.

But if we send him out to train now, he'll probably be wiped out completely. But if he advances to a first-tier martial beast, at least he can come back intact.

After all, he had experienced the harshness of life when he was young, a hardship that most people couldn't endure. But he wouldn't stop his son from growing up; he would only do his best to find the rare treasures that would help him survive.

His thoughts drifted further and further away. As his father talked, Kolo realized that his mind had wandered off somewhere, and his eyes were fixed on the small building in front of him.

Seeing his father like this, Kolo sighed and rubbed his forehead, whispering a reminder from the side.

"Father! Father! Snap out of it! The adults are calling you!"

"Oh? Oh! Coming right now! Coming right now!"

Ke Zhen snapped out of his daze and hurriedly replied, then stepped forward, looked at Gu Xinyan and the other two, and asked, "Sir, this room?"

"This is the shop we brought. Everything on the shelves is for sale. You can go in and take a look first, so you'll know what to buy later!" Gu Xinyan pointed to the rows of shelves and explained to them.

"Alright, alright! I'll go in and take a look! A-Luo, go and call your Uncle Mu and the others over." Ke Zhen replied, while also giving instructions to his son beside him.

After seeing Ke Luo run far away, he then followed behind Gu Xinyan and the other two, heading into the dimensional shop.

It looked amazing from the outside, but when he went inside the store, he felt that he had never seen such a beautiful house in his entire life.

He could see himself clearly on the spotless, bright white floor, even more clearly than his reflection in the water.

Not to mention the bright lamp, which was something else entirely, but it was even brighter than heavenly fire, illuminating the entire room.

And those rows of shelves—when he looked at them from the outside, he thought they weren't very big, but once he went inside, he was amazed to find that the room seemed almost three times bigger than it appeared from the outside!

"Chief Ke, you can take a look at everything on the shelves. These are all the things we brought with us this time."

It not only had food, various seasonings, alcohol, fruits and vegetables, and clothing, but also knives, weapons, medicines, and so on—the variety was quite complete.

"You can take a look first, and we'll talk about the transaction later!" Gu Xinyan saw him staring blankly at the store, so she simply explained it to him.

Upon hearing this, Ke Zhen's mind was filled with thoughts of knives, weapons, and medicine. Thinking about these things, he asked somewhat anxiously:

"Sir, what kind of knives and weapons do you have here? And what about the medicines? Are they the herbs used by witch doctors?"

Seeing his anxious expression, Gu Xinyan didn't say anything more. Instead, she led him to the area where knives, weapons, and medicines were sold.

The first area we visited was the medicine section, which was located in a corner of the store. It sold various medicines and health products, much like a small pharmacy.

The shelves were neatly stacked with medicine boxes. Not only on the shelves, but also inside the wall next to it, an entire wall had been hollowed out and filled with medicines, making it dazzling to look at.

However, this area has one very good feature: you can buy whatever medicine you need.

If you can't find it yourself, just search for the medicine you need and the quantity you need on the machine next to you, and it will automatically pack the medicine for you and put it on the shelf next to you. You just need to swipe your card to take it.

"The medicine we sell here may be different from the herbs used by your shamans, but its effects are very good. For example, it can cure headaches, fevers, colds, or inflamed wounds. Taken internally and applied externally, it will be almost cured in a few days! And..."

"What? A cold can be cured? And the wound is infected, so amputation isn't necessary?"

Before Gu Xinyan could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Ke Zhen's exclamation. Hearing his words, Gu Xinyan was a little confused. Why would she need to have her limb amputated if the wound was infected?

However, it then dawned on me that while this world might be more advanced in some aspects, it was relatively backward in terms of medicine.

Perhaps the wrong herbs were used; even a minor cold could take a person's life. Or perhaps it was just a small injury, but if not treated in time, it could eventually lead to amputation.

"Yes, we have effective medicine for treating colds and anti-inflammatory drugs for wound inflammation, so amputation is not necessary. However, this is not absolute and depends on the patient's condition."

Gu Xinyan explained that these medicines are not miracle drugs and cannot be exaggerated. If the patient's condition is serious or has reached the stage of severe illness, then saying that they can cure the disease would be like ruining one's own reputation!

Besides, they don't have any good doctors here, and she wouldn't dare make any absolute guarantees! After all, she's not some kind of miracle worker! She can't just say she can cure someone and expect them to!

"I know that, but I didn't expect you to have so many medicines here, sir. You know, people here don't dare to catch a cold easily, because witch doctors are only found in the main city."

Every three years when we go to the main city, we bring back some medicine for colds and inflammation.

However, these medicines are extremely expensive, and we can only afford so much. So the tribespeople have just toughed it out. The warm and rainy seasons are manageable, but every year during the cold season, many tribespeople freeze to death, especially the young.

That's why I was so excited just now. If we have these medicines, no one in the tribe will die from a cold this winter!

"Thank you so much for coming, adults! You are the lucky stars of our tribe and our continent!"
