Chapter 211 Experimental Drug Efficacy

"M-Sir—please forgive my intrusion, but what is this potion you concocted? I am ignorant and have never seen such a—such a peculiar healing potion."

Li Ang looked at the emerald green potion in his hand and replied calmly, "【Targeted Tissue Regeneration Potion】, which I figured out myself. It's mainly used for precisely repairing necrotic body tissue."

He paused, his gaze seemingly looking through the workshop wall towards the hotel.

"I have a companion who lost her sight in a previous battle. I want to try and see if I can use this to help her heal her eyes."

Upon hearing this, not only was White stunned, but the apprentices behind him who had been listening intently also erupted in uproar.

A young apprentice couldn't help but murmur in disbelief, "This—how is this possible? Repairing necrotic eyes? Unless it's a legendary panacea, how can blind eyes be cured? Even a great figure like Regent Gron could only—"

"Idiot, shut up!" White immediately turned around and shouted at the outspoken apprentice, his forehead covered in cold sweat.

"Sir, you are a master of alchemy! Nothing is impossible for you. With your meager knowledge, how dare you presume to comment on the words of a master?"

Just as White was about to continue reprimanding the apprentice, another, seemingly clever young apprentice, with a resolute glint in his eyes, suddenly stepped forward and knelt down with a thud. His voice trembling, he said, "My lord, please forgive me! I—I dare to guess that your miraculous potion hasn't been tested on any living person yet? If—if my lord needs someone to test the potion, my—my sister can help you. She lost her sight for many years due to a high fever. If my lord doesn't mind, and is willing to let her test the potion's effects, I will be eternally grateful, whatever the outcome!"

Upon hearing this, White's expression changed drastically. He was about to angrily rebuke this ignorant fellow for daring to make such a presumptuous request when Li Ang raised his hand to stop him.

Li Ang looked at the young apprentice kneeling on the ground, his body trembling slightly with tension, but his eyes filled with expectation and determination, and fell into thought.

Although he was quite confident in his improved potion formula and refining process, he did need a testing phase to verify its effectiveness and safety.

After all, there is a gap between theory and practice, and what if something unexpected happens?

He originally wanted to ask Maya for a death row inmate's experimental drug, but now someone had conveniently delivered it to his door. However, Li Ang did not agree to it directly, but instead asked tentatively.

"Drug testing?" Li Ang's voice was calm and even, deliberately exaggerating the risks. "Do you know that new drugs that haven't been fully tested carry extremely high risks? At best, they're ineffective; at worst, they could accelerate tissue necrosis or even endanger life. Your sister could die from this. Aren't you afraid? And can you make this decision on behalf of your sister?"

The young apprentice abruptly raised his head, a hint of fear on his face, but even more so a resolute determination: "Yes, sir, I can make the decision for her, and I know the risks involved, but my sister—"

Since losing her sight, she has lived a life worse than death. Our parents died early, and we depended on each other for survival. She has tried many times—many times—to end her life, not wanting to be a burden on me anymore. Rather than let her live in despair in darkness, we'd rather take a gamble. If—if my sister suffers—it's her fate, and it has nothing to do with you, sir. We will bear all the consequences!

His voice was choked with emotion, yet unusually firm.

Seeing the unwavering determination in the boy's eyes, Li Ang finally nodded: "Alright, bring her here. Remember what you said."

"Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir!" The boy was so excited that he almost cried. He kowtowed several times, then suddenly got up and rushed out of the workshop like a gust of wind.

Before long, the boy returned, leading a small, fluffy dwarf girl who was wearing a faded old dress.

Her pale blue eyes were empty and lifeless, without any focus, clearly indicating that she had been blind for a long time.

Li Ang gestured for the girl to come closer and asked gently, "Little girl, your brother must have told you, right? I need to try a new drug to treat your eyes, but it might be dangerous, even fatal. Would you like to try it?"

Although the girl couldn't see, she nodded vigorously in the direction of Li Ang's voice and said in a weak voice, "My lord, I'm willing. I don't want to be a burden to my brother anymore."

Li Ang's heart stirred slightly, and he said, "Alright. However, in order for new tissue to grow, the old tissue that has been completely necrotic must first be removed."

This process will be very painful; you will need to drink a [Sleeping Potion] first.

So he had the girl sit in a sturdy chair with a backrest and fed her a small bottle of diluted sleeping potion. Soon, the girl's breathing became steady and long, and she fell into a deep sleep.

Li Ang took a deep breath, concentrated his mind, and extended his right hand. The wind element at his fingertips was gathered and compressed with exquisite precision, and its power was suppressed to the minimum. Finally, it formed a scalpel made of pure wind element at his fingertips.

The next moment, he began the procedure. The scalpel carefully sliced ​​across the girl's eyes, precisely severing the adhered tissues and nerves. Then he completely removed the two necrotic eyeballs that had long since lost their vitality.

This scene turned many apprentices in the workshop pale, and they subconsciously looked away, unable to bear watching any longer.

Only White stared wide-eyed, afraid of missing a single detail, muttering unconsciously, "Exquisite—absolutely exquisite—to control spells to this extent—"

The young apprentice was so nervous that he gripped the hem of his clothes tightly with both hands, his nails almost digging into his palms. Only when the two necrotic eyeballs were completely removed and Li Ang said that everything went smoothly did he finally breathe a sigh of relief, his back already soaked with cold sweat.

After removing the needle, Li Ang cleaned the wound. Then, he took out the meticulously crafted stainless steel needle and assembled it with a small crystal injection tube that he had customized.

This peculiar object once again attracted everyone's attention. They wondered what Li Ang intended to do with this little thing.

Li Ang calculated the dosage and drew up a vial of [Targeted Tissue Regeneration Agent] using a syringe.

This action left them even more confused, as they believed that medicine was always taken orally.

Li Ang's act of drawing the medicine from the crystal bottle into the small tube left them wondering what he was up to.

Then, under everyone's watchful eyes, Li Ang held a syringe and precisely inserted the sharp needle into a specific spot inside the girl's left eye, slowly pushing in half a vial of medicine.
