Developing medicine is not something that can be achieved in a few words. For this reason, Han Lang, who had obtained the pharmaceutical factory's formula and samples, immediately returned to his room in his villa.
Colds can generally be divided into viral infections, bacterial infections, and transmission caused by contact with pathogens.
However, in essence, the vast majority are caused by a decline in personal immunity due to various reasons, which in turn reduces the local defense function of the respiratory tract, leading to rapid reproduction of existing viruses or bacteria and disrupting the balance of microorganisms in the body.
At the same time, when pathogens enter the body, the body's own immune system, in order to protect itself, will naturally clear the bacteria and viruses within the body. The human body will also produce corresponding fever responses during the process of clearing viruses. This is why colds are generally accompanied by fever.
Therefore, Han Lang needed to find a drug that could quickly kill viruses, enhance human immunity, strengthen the defense capabilities of various parts of the body, and at the same time cause no harm to the human body.
Han Lang already had an idea for such a drug.
White Spirit Ginseng Fruit!
This was what Han Lang considered the most suitable among all the spirit herbs on the Lichuan Continent!
While the White Spirit Ginseng Fruit is called a spirit fruit, it cannot be entirely classified as one.
This is because this spirit fruit has no great value in alchemy. Its components cannot enhance cultivation, nor can they heal injuries or treat the body.
However, its juice is rich and its taste is excellent. After consumption, it not only allows people to temporarily forget their troubles and worries, but also accelerates blood circulation and unblocks meridians.
Therefore, on the Lichuan Continent, this spirit fruit is more often used by local people as a raw material for winemaking.
After long-term storage and brewing, its aroma and taste will be even better. Thus, it is the only thing that both commoners and powerful cultivators eagerly seek.
Of course, the fruit wine brewed from White Spirit Ginseng Fruits of different ages is also different.
Ordinary commoners can generally only use White Spirit Ginseng Fruits that are a few years old, and the resulting fruit wine is naturally very ordinary. But if brewed with ginseng fruits that are hundreds or even thousands of years old, the brewed product is truly ambrosia.
Even the Seven Great Venerables cannot resist this level of fruit wine.
Precisely because of this, the Medicine Venerable always reserves two spots on the second level of the Three-Layered Pagoda specifically for planting this White Spirit Ginseng Fruit.
"If considering its medicinal value, the White Spirit Ginseng Fruit can indeed not only enhance the body's metabolism and immunity, but also accelerate blood circulation and generate high temperatures at the moment of volatilization, killing viruses. However..."
Thinking of this, Han Lang hesitated.
Although the White Spirit Ginseng Fruit almost perfectly met all the requirements for treating cold symptoms, it was, after all, a spirit fruit grown in another world. Although it had no significant side effects, it still contained a large amount of spiritual energy. Whether it was suitable for the physique of Blue Star humans was still unknown.
"Dilution is definitely necessary. Although spiritual energy is scarce on Blue Star, it is not entirely absent. A slightly higher spiritual energy content should not only be harmless but also beneficial to the human body. However, to what extent should it be diluted?"
"Why don't... I try it myself first?"
With this thought, Han Lang entered the Three-Layered Pagoda at his fastest speed. He wanted to find a White Spirit Ginseng Fruit that was a few years or a few decades old to try.
But as soon as he entered, he was dumbfounded.
Inside the Three-Layered Pagoda, there were no low-aged White Spirit Ginseng Fruits that he was looking for. Every single one was at least a thousand years old!
This left Han Lang at a loss for a moment.
"I say, Medicine Venerable, do you have to be so fond of alcohol!"
Helplessly, he took out a thousand-year-old ginseng fruit. After a period of refinement, he condensed it into dozens of pills the size of mung beans.
This was not alchemy, but purely the evaporation of impurities and water vapor from the spirit fruit, leaving only the most essential part.
After doing this, he began to worry again.
A thousand-year-old White Spirit Ginseng Fruit grown in an environment rich in spiritual energy like the Three-Layered Pagoda was naturally far superior in quality to ordinary ginseng fruits. Even if it was only the size of a mung bean, the spiritual energy it contained was by no means bearable for ordinary people.
"Alas, I never thought that one day I would be troubled by something being too good!"
Han Lang sighed deeply, got up, found a bottle of mineral water, unscrewed the cap, and dropped a piece of White Spirit Ginseng Fruit essence into it to dilute it.
The fruit dissolved in the water, and the entire bottle of water was quickly dyed blood red.
Looking at this concentration, Han Lang couldn't help but shake his head.
"This concentration is definitely not enough, but I'll try it first!"
After saying that, he tilted his head and took a large gulp.
A moment later, Han Lang felt a heat spread through his body, a sense of lightheaded comfort rushing to his forehead, and the spiritual energy in his dantian also became restless. Soon, he returned to normal.
"As expected, it's still not enough! If it can stir the spiritual energy in the dantian, ordinary people definitely can't handle it. It needs to be diluted further!"
As he spoke, he found a larger container. He poured in 10 bottles of mineral water at once, and then dropped another piece of White Spirit Ginseng Fruit essence.
He didn't bother with refinement and directly leaned down to take a big gulp, then carefully felt the changes in his body.
This time, it felt much weaker. Besides the pleasant sensation he enjoyed, there was only a slight tremor in his dantian.
"Still need more!"
Han Lang's conclusion was that if it could cause a tremor in his dantian, its spiritual energy concentration was at least a hundred times higher than that of Blue Star. At this level, ordinary people would not be unaffected. Therefore, he had to continue diluting it, at least until he felt nothing at all!
However, there were no larger containers left in the room, nor was there enough mineral water in stock!
"No matter what! I'll use the bathtub!"
Han Lang turned on the faucet, casually rinsed the inner wall of the bathtub, then poured the more than 3 liters of solution into the bathtub, and turned on the faucet again to dilute the solution by half.
"Still not enough, continue!"
He repeated this process, gradually increasing the solution from the original 3 liters to 6 liters, 9 liters, 12 liters...
Until the solution only had a faint pink hue, and the volume in the bathtub had reached at least 30 liters.
"Ah~ Finally, I don't feel anything. If this continues, I'll be full!"
Han Lang let out a long sigh, finally measuring the approximate dilution ratio of a mung bean-sized White Spirit Ginseng Fruit.
"I still need to find an ordinary person to test it!"
With a rough estimate, the next step was clinical trials.
Of course, Han Lang was not blindly conducting human experiments. With his cultivation and his superb Heavenly Doctor skills, even if there were any problems, they would definitely be within his control. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so bold.
"Who should I find?"
After much thought, he felt that Ma Long was a good candidate.
Firstly, a soldier's physique is higher than that of ordinary people, so at least there wouldn't be any major problems. Secondly, Ma Long was also one of the people he trusted, so he wouldn't have to shout his lungs out to persuade him. 138 Reading Network
With this thought, he immediately chugged a bottle of White Spirit Ginseng Fruit solution and hurried out of the room.
