Chapter 45

Carrying Lilliath on his back, they escaped the range of the battle and found a big tree to hide in.

After using the Pupillary Ability, Lilliath looked very weak. However, a move like that would have a certain amount of side effects under normal circumstances, which could be recovered with some time to recuperate.

Gu Ding did not ask what the Pupillary Ability did or why the giant beast had such a strange reaction. Although he was a little curious, such a life-saving move was an absolute privacy.

Looking at Gu Ding's wounds, Lilliath took out a bottle of medicine from her Inventory and handed it to Gu Ding. "Your bones are injured. You need to treat them as soon as possible. Otherwise, it'll be troublesome in the future."

Gu Ding took it and looked at it. The medicine was blue in color, and it was a bottle of E-grade good quality cell repair agent. This bottle cost at least two hundred thousand Star Credits.

"You really aren't good at managing money." Gu Ding grinned.

"Women just need to know how to spend their money." Lilliath curled her lips.

Gu Ding thought to himself, 'Dad was right. Women are indeed incomprehensible creatures.'

In addition to some bruises on Gu Ding's body, there were several fractures and some internal organs in his body. If this dragged on for too long, it would cause serious sequelae. He injected the bottle of cell repair agent directly into his vein.

In just a moment, he felt the cells in his body begin to become active and enter a rapid repair process.

About ten minutes later, his external injuries had all healed, his bones had entered the initial stage of healing, and his internal injuries had also been relieved to a certain extent.

"One bottle a day, at least three days in a row," Lilliath said as she handed over two more bottles of medicine.

"There's no need. When I find a suitable safe place, I can refine the cell repair agent myself." Although that was what Gu Ding said, he did not have enough medicine materials. He just felt a little embarrassed to take Lilliath's things. He accepted the first bottle because his body urgently needed to be repaired. Otherwise, it would really be a problem. As for the second and third bottles, it was not necessary. His healing ability was stronger than that of a normal person. As long as he was careful, he should be able to recover in a few days.

"You're an E-grade pharmacologist?" Lilliath did not expect Gu Ding to have such an identity.

"I'm currently certified to be F-level," Gu Ding corrected. "But I should be able to make E-level medicine too."

"Being a pharmacologist really is a lucrative profession. You're so young, yet you can afford to buy a combat outfit." Liliath pretended to be mature as she cupped her chin and looked Gu Ding up and down.

"This Combat Armor was a gift from someone else. One Combat Armor costs hundreds of millions of Star Credits. How could I possibly afford it?"

"It was a woman who gave you the armor, wasn't it?" Liliath asked.

"Yes." Gu Ding did not deny it.

"I knew it!" Lilliath pouted.

"I'm almost recovered. How about you?" The two of them had rested for almost half an hour. Under the effect of the cell repair agent, Gu Ding's body had begun to recover.

"What I've consumed is my mental strength, so my body is weak and I can't fight. He needed at least five hours of sleep before his body could recover its basic functions. You'll need at least twenty hours of sleep if you want to fully recover your combat effectiveness. "Liliath's explanation meant that they could only rely on Gu Ding for the rest of the journey. "The price of a potion to recover spiritual power is too high, and there's no market for it. Basically, as soon as it appears in an auction, it'll be sold for a high price. "

"Is the price of a potion to recover spiritual power very high?" It was the first time Gu Ding had heard of such a thing.

"Yes. I've seen a bottle of D-grade spiritual power recovery potion sold for 1.6 billion Star Credits at an auction." Liliath remembered the auction very clearly. "I didn't participate in the auction. One reason was that the price was too high. The other reason was that D-grade potions are used by Rank 6 and Rank 7 Gene Body powerhouses. I'm only a Rank 2 Gene Body. It's too wasteful."

"A normal D-grade gene potion of passable quality is between one million and three million Star Credits. A good quality is between five million and eight million Star Credits. Even if it's a perfect quality one, the price should be between sixty million and eighty million. It won't exceed a hundred million Star Credits at most. It seems that there's a very high premium on spiritual power medicine. "Gu Ding was increasingly convinced that it was easy to earn money as a pharmacologist.

"The spiritual power medicine that was auctioned was of high quality," Liliath added. "It's normal for the premium to be so high. In the entire Hermean Alliance, there are less than ten people who have the formula for spiritual power medicine. Medicine factories have to buy even slightly special medicine formulas from Hermean Alliance at a high price, let alone this kind of severely scarce formula. It's impossible for Hermean Alliance to sell it. "

The so-called medicine factories referred to enterprises that bought medicine formulas from Hermean Alliance and then mass-produced and sold them using machines. There were actually quite a number of such enterprises. There were more than thirty thousand in Dragon Soar Cosmic Nation alone.

As medicine refining was a very sophisticated matter, even if it was the same kind of medicine, different pharmacologists' refining process would be slightly different. Therefore, the refining process provided by Hermean Alliance to medicine factories was simplified to a certain extent so that it could be easily operated by machines. To a certain extent, this saved the medicine factories' operating costs, but it also resulted in the drawback of low quality medicine. Usually, the medicine produced in an assembly line was of passable quality. As for the production of good quality medicine, it required a separate production line to produce it.

The formulas provided by Hermean Alliance to medicine factories were also ordinary commonly used medicine. Although the demand was high, the value was not high. Medicine factories would not complain too much if they could make money.

As for those special formulas, they were basically only circulated within Hermean Alliance or privately owned by pharmacologists. It was impossible for medicine factories to get their hands on them. Medicine factories would also not risk offending Hermean Alliance by stealing medicine formulas. If they did, they would only be blacklisted by Hermean Alliance and ostracized by other medicine factories.

"I have hundreds of formulas for spiritual power medicine in my database." Neptune's voice quickly reached Gu Ding's ears. "I've now realized that your era's civilization is really missing too many things. The people of your era have only scratched the surface of so many ancient civilizations' legacies, and you still treat them like treasures."

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go and try to get there before it gets dark. I hope we won't encounter those monsters on the way." As Gu Ding spoke, he once again carried Liliath on his back, jumped down from the tree, and ran all the way to the shipbuilding factory.
