Chapter 28: The Caterpillar Invasion

  In the rented house of an old community, Wu Rui spent dozens of 50-year-old ginseng and finally promoted Shennong Jing to the peak of medical practitioners with one night's time. With a loud noise, the dantian seemed to explode, and the true yuan inside was constantly rolling and rotating, looking messy but actually in order.

  After a moment, the rolling in his dantian finally stopped, and the true yuan slowly condensed, eventually forming an elixir. From this point on, the golden elixir was formed! Of course, the golden elixir wasn't necessarily gold in color; Wu Rui's was green, a deep, mysterious green that seemed to be filled with a natural aura - this was the golden elixir of a medical cultivator!

  Wu Rui slowly opened his eyes, revealing a hint of a smile, and stepped into the realm of Shennong's medical classics. His golden elixir cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, his medical skills skyrocketed, and his strength rose exponentially. The powerful energy surging through his body was truly mesmerizing.

  Xiu Wei suddenly broke through, and Wu Rui immediately chose to enter the dimensional clinic. First, he opened the clinic system to take a look, and found that the host attributes on the homepage had undergone some changes:

  Level: Elementary

  Host: Wu Rui

  Points: 1

  Cultivation: The third layer of "Shennong Jing", initial title for a medical practitioner.

  Basic configuration: a primary clinic room, one desk, two chairs.

  Upgrade conditions: The system automatically searches for primary patients. One point is awarded for curing one person, and one point is deducted for failure. There is no time limit on the number of people, and upgrading is possible when 10 points are accumulated.

  The cultivation has automatically changed, and there is also a new score column. The 9 points that Ah Niu's score has reached are just enough to upgrade the clinic. Now, Wu Rui is full of confidence in his medical skills and is looking forward to seeing what changes will take place after the clinic is upgraded. After calming down from his excitement, he immediately began searching for the second patient with a high score.

  "Zi Zi, 7th Star Space of the Xīng Chóng Clan. The Xīng Chóng Clan is a lower-level spiritual intelligence species that relies on devouring animals and minerals to grow..."

  Looking at the '兹兹' avatar on the screen, Wu Rui was stunned. The second patient wasn't human, but a bug with seven or eight legs and golden fur on its body. Its head wasn't big, but its two sparkling eyes seemed to be telling Wu Rui that this wasn't an ordinary caterpillar, but a wise being.

  "Wu Rui couldn't stay calm anymore, loudly questioning the empty clinic: 'Instructor! What's going on? Aren't patients supposed to be human? How did you get a caterpillar for me? How am I supposed to treat it?'"

  Wild beast Wu Rui had treated, but ordinary wild beasts and human body structure are similar, one method is universal, so it can be barely treated. However, the body structure of caterpillars is completely different, how can Wu Rui not go crazy? The confident him just wilted in an instant, he's not a veterinary doctor, okay? Moreover, has anyone ever heard of a veterinarian treating insects?

  "Master, first of all, I need to correct what you just said. This is not an earthworm, but a Star Worm, and the Star Worms are very powerful, capable of strolling through the galaxy, swallowing metal minerals and converting them into nutrients, and even evolving some unique and powerful abilities." The instructor's voice remained calm as ever.

  After a pause, the instructor continued to answer Wu Rui's question: "The patients in the dimensional clinic are not necessarily human beings. As long as they are intelligent creatures, they meet the conditions of the clinic. As for how to treat them, you are the doctor, and I am just a guide, so I cannot answer."

  "Can't we change it?" Wu Rui asked weakly, seeing the caterpillar made her feel creepy and lacking in confidence.

  "Patient at the primary clinic, are you willing to give up treatment and be considered a failure, which will also deduct one point from your score?" The instructor's voice was dry and emotionless, without any consideration for Wu Rui's feelings.

  "Damn it!" Wu Rui couldn't help but curse as he nervously clicked the "Start Treatment" option.

  A flash of white light, a caterpillar as big as an adult suddenly appeared in the clinic.

  Different from the cow, this caterpillar suddenly appeared in a strange environment and was very vigilant. It retreated two steps with its body wriggling, its small eyes emitting red light staring at Wu Rui, its mouth slightly open, chirping and asking: "What kind of creature are you? Where is this place?"

  "...Wu Rui swallowed hard, feeling a great deal of pressure, and forced a stiff smile as he opened his mouth to say: "I'm a human doctor, I can treat your injuries, this is my clinic."

  Originally, Wu Rui thought that this would be a thorough investigation, but unexpectedly, the caterpillar did not suspect anything. When it heard that Wu Rui could cure its own injuries, its two small eyes immediately emitted red light and asked in an excited tone: "Can you really cure my illness?"

  "Cough... I need to take a look at your condition before deciding, where are you uncomfortable?" Wu Rui asked uncertainly.

  Forgive Wu Rui, he really couldn't see what was wrong with this caterpillar, and for a while, he became even more apprehensive about this treatment.

  The Star Worm Tribe was just a low-level intelligent creature, and didn't suspect anything. It immediately bared its teeth and said: "There's a strange stone stuck in my stomach that I couldn't digest, it's almost killing me, can you help me take it out?"

  "Ah..." Wu Rui let out a breath of relief as soon as he heard the words. If it were a difficult and complicated illness, he wouldn't have been too confident, but now that it was just something stuck, he didn't feel too much pressure. His face, which had always looked like a bitter melon, finally cracked a smile, and he said with a warm laugh: "Let me take a look at this first."

  Of course, Wu Rui was also very surprised. The clinic system said that the star insect tribe could swallow metals and minerals, so wouldn't there be any stones that couldn't be digested?

  As he pondered, Wu Rui had already arrived beside Zizi. Although the Star Worm Clan looked like giant caterpillars in appearance, they were actually vastly different, at least their outer skin was not ordinary, and Wu Rui could feel its unparalleled toughness, which was not just ordinary toughness, or else they wouldn't be able to take a stroll through the stars.

  Jīndān period's consciousness was released, without much effort, it entered its body, along the oral cavity, throat and intestines to explore downwards, secretly shocked by this star insect tribe's digestive system, no wonder even metal ore could be digested.

  The Xīngchóng tribe's abdomen is very complex, with many intestines. Wú Ruì searched for half a day and finally found a piece of ore in the rectum of an unnamed intestine. However... this piece of ore seems to be extraordinary, Wú Ruì's eyes are even red, isn't it?

  Space rock, oh heavens, and it's as big as a basketball, what shocked Wu Rui even more was that this space rock had apparently been digested quite a bit, ground into a round shape like a basketball, how could the Space Rock be so tough, yet the Star Insect Clan could swallow it, Wu Rui expressed shock and unease.
