Ove gritted his teeth.
If he fails to heal the child, Ove is willing to bear the consequences himself, ensuring Lin Ke’s reputation remains untarnished.
He doesn’t want to watch life disappear before his eyes.
"Leathergrass, Purple Flying Flower, Yellow Grapevine... hmm, perhaps a bit of Lucky Flower..."
Ove took out the items from his bag one by one, breaking and crushing some with his hands, and quickly chewing others with his mouth.
Finally forming a pool of dark green medicine paste.
Ove took a deep breath and smeared the paste onto the child’s chest.
Before long, a miraculous scene unfolded.
The blood on the child’s chest stopped flowing out, and even the child’s expression seemed less painful. His previously pale face gradually regained its rosy hue.
The effect was simply immediate!
"Oh, oh, Rabbitman Doctor, thank you, Rabbitman Doctor!"
"Your rescue is brighter than the stars in the sky!"
"You must be a powerful professional!"
"Wait! Doctor, what’s wrong with you!"
The crowd originally cheering suddenly saw Ove stagger back a few steps and fall straight back, collapsing to the ground.
Ove’s originally pure white fur suddenly started turning pitch black from the mouth, and the blackness was spreading across his body.
"Leathergrass! It’s Leathergrass!"
A sharp-eyed man pointed at the small black grass that had fallen to the ground.
The crowd gasped in shock.
That’s the most lethal of all herbs!
Once someone accidentally touched this grass by the roadside, and after a few hours sneezed, because they touched their lips with the hand that had touched the Leathergrass, the person was poisoned to death.
Leathergrass poison is also called "the gaze of the god of death," extremely terrifying.
Only then did people realize that the medicine paste smeared on the child’s chest contained the Leathergrass paste that the Rabbitman Doctor had chewed.
"Yale! My Little Yale!"
The child’s mother, realizing the situation, cried out painfully, broke free from the man’s restraint, and rushed to the child’s side.
Her son’s chest was smeared with Leathergrass?!
Injured and poisoned?!
A man who appeared to be the child’s father momentarily glared angrily, picked up a stone from the ground, and was about to smash it at Ove: "Despicable Rabbitman! You dare to try to poison my Little Yale!"
The man raised the stone high, aiming it at Ove’s head.
They hadn’t thoroughly checked their child’s condition, and instinctively believed Ove intended to poison their child.
"Calm down! Put it down!"
"Yes! That’s the Young Master’s man!"
"Let’s think about how to explain why this Rabbitman Doctor was poisoned to death here!"
"If Young Master Lin Ke gets angry, we might lose our village!"
A few men hurriedly dissuaded him, knowing the Rabbitman Doctor belonged to the Young Master; killing him might bring retribution upon their village.
Faced with such a dire threat to survival, Little Yale’s death seemed unimportant to these people.
They were even worried now, fearing Lin Ke might believe that they poisoned the Rabbitman Doctor.
"I don’t care! I’ll smash this rabbit, and then I’ll commit suicide!"
The man, listening to his wife’s cries, was overcome with rage, while the others tried to dissuade him again.
However, at this moment, the child lying on the ground suddenly moaned, his throat hoarse: "Mom... Mommy..."
"Who is calling me, oh, oh, oh..." The woman who was crying seemed to hear it, paused: "Little Yale? Little Yale?" She couldn’t believe it, thinking she was hallucinating.
"Mom... Mommy... hurts..."
The child’s eyes opened a crack, seeing the woman kneeling next to him.
The woman immediately became ecstatic, regardless of the tears on her face, shouted: "Little Yale is alive! Little Yale is alive!"
The people standing farther away from the child were afraid of getting contaminated by the Leathergrass poison.
However, after hearing the woman’s words, the entire scene fell silent for a moment, and their eyes focused on Little Yale lying on the ground.
They saw Little Yale’s complexion was rosy, his chest not only wasn’t bleeding, but seemed to be healing at an observable speed.
The crowd was dumbfounded, leaving Yale’s parents gathered around Little Yale.
In Ove’s Soul Space, the blood vessel appeared as a stone pillar with some patterns on it.
However, at that moment, the stone pillar representing his blood vessel suddenly changed.
A streak of blackness spread rapidly from the bottom of the stone pillar, like ink dissipating in clear water.
The stone pillar representing the blood vessel was very tall, but its patterns only reached the bottom, indicating Ove still had significant room for growth.
Unfortunately, the speed of the black spread was too fast!
This stone pillar was actually his soul!
Knicks was startled and quickly ran over, touching with his furry hand.
The attributes of [Scholar] were being overwhelmed by the "Poison" attribute, dissipating like popped bubbles.
"Research", "Exploration"... one by one, the attributes were dissipating from the soul.
This means that Knicks’ understanding of the "Poison" attribute was deepening, to the point of pushing aside the attributes of [Scholar].
There were also some unknown changes involved.
Is this... a job change?!
"How could... the Poison attribute?"
He had never tasted poison before, but this time he tasted the pokeweed, deeply comprehending the attribute of "Poison".
So, he gained "Poison".
But he knew from Ove’s teachings.
Initially, the main profession receives a large energy supply from the bloodline, while subsequent sub-professions receive only a small portion.
If he inexplicably became a profession characterized by "Poison", he wouldn’t be able to become a [Doctor]!
So he immediately closed his eyes and conveyed all his medical insights to his bloodline.
"Healing", "Diagnosing", "Herbs"...
A series of corresponding insights of attributes were recalled by him, yet his heart remained extremely anxious.
Because he had been attempting to switch from [Scholar] to [Doctor] whenever possible, but had never succeeded. This time...
After inputting these attributes, they did not directly merge into a profession but were scattered, unable to fuse.
"What to do... what to do..."
Knicks was in a hurry, as all the attributes of [Scholar] had been conquered by the "Poison" attribute, only the "Learning" attribute was barely hanging on.
Mr. Lin Ke wanted me to experience what a doctor truly is.
Have I... experienced it?
"Why is it called ’Doctor’ (’Yi’ and ’Sheng’)?"
Knicks suddenly wondered, and then had a sudden insight.
Lin Ke’s explanation was that ’Sheng’ is a personal pronoun, like young man, old man, meaning a person with medical skills performing healing.
However, Knicks now discovered that perhaps there was another meaning to the name of this profession.
He thought about the process of just saving Little Yale.
To save Yale, he chose to take a risk.
If successful then great, if failed, he was willing to commit suicide so as not to tarnish Lin Ke’s reputation.
At that moment, the motivation of not wanting life to fade away before his eyes gave him the courage to chew the pokeweed.
A doctor heals life, reviving the dead.
At the same time, he chewed the poisonous herb—pokeweed.
This highly poisonous herb, he discovered during an accidental encounter, where a severely injured wild dog ate some herbs along with pokeweed and regained vitality, so he collected it.
He believed that eating this pokeweed alone was poisonous, but could have remarkable effects when combined with special herbs, such as enhanced medicinal effects!
Perhaps, it was exactly because he ate the pokeweed alone that allowed him to instantly realize the "Poison" attribute since trying poison firsthand is the best way to understand it.
From the moment he decided to save Little Yale, to this unexplainable journey to the Soul Space, and now understanding the deeper meaning of the word "Doctor".
This suddenly made him understand two other attributes.
"Mutual Creation and Destruction", "Life Above All"!
The young master had mentioned these!
But in an uncertain tone.
"Let’s give it a try..."
So, Knicks closed his eyes and input all the insights of these two attributes into his bloodline.
Along with "Poison", and adding "Learning"...
The blackness on the stone pillar suddenly gathered towards Knicks’ palm.
The patterns on the stone pillar gathered, integrating with the black "Poison" attribute into a brand new light green pattern.
In the eyes of a doctor, saving the life before him is the most important task.
And Knicks, who realized this point, was forming a new profession in his bloodline.
Knicks opened his eyes, filled with excitement.
Misfortune turned to fortune, and he finally succeeded in becoming a [Doctor]!
"Hmm? It seems there’s still a conversion possible?
This is... hmm, it should be called... [Poison Master]?"
