The streets were bustling with people.
Gula had walked the entire street, almost starving, but still hadn't found a suitable way to make money.
"Selling energy cubes would attract Soul Masters, making a fortune, but it would draw too much attention."
Standing on the street, Gula went into a pharmacy and bought some basic medicinal herbs, packed them up, and planned to take them back to study their properties.
Two apple-sized medicine packets cost Gula most of his savings, making him want to curse the pharmacy owner's entire family.
"No wonder commoners dare not get sick; medicinal herbs are so expensive.
Getting sick once isn't considered lucky if you don't empty your pockets."
Gula's parents had both died from illness while away from home, so he had heard about this from the villagers.
Medicinal herbs on the Douluo Continent grow in remote, untouched mountains. Wild beasts, even Soul Beasts, are not uncommon.
Hunters and herb gatherers risk their lives to collect herbs of sufficient age; some herbs even require Soul Masters to gather them.
Furthermore, noble soul masters take medicine from a young age to stimulate their potential, leading to a supply shortage.
Therefore, although the primeval forest is full of medicinal herbs, their prices remain high.
Otherwise, Dugu Bo wouldn't have personally cultivated medicinal herbs to treat his illness, just to avoid being unable to find the necessary herbs at the last minute.
Gula frowned slightly: "The price of medicinal herbs is unexpectedly high.
I estimate that a single medicinal bath costs several hundred to over a thousand gold soul coins, and the improvement won't be significant."
He shook his head: "Even if it's once a week, from childhood to adulthood, the cost is terrifying. No wonder only core disciples of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan can enjoy medicinal baths.
It truly is an industry only large powers can afford."
He remembered that Yu Xiaogang was expelled because he used up a large amount of resources from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan when he was young.
As a result, several years passed, and Yu Xiaogang still couldn't break through to level twenty-nine.
His sect master grandfather, Yu Yuanzhen, was utterly disappointed in him and had no choice but to expel him from the sect to appease the resentment of the elders and disciples.
Even one of the three major sects couldn't afford to provide medicinal baths for all its core disciples, demonstrating the preciousness of the medicinal herbs.
"If I want to establish a faith system, the published paper must be inspiring for the vast majority of Soul Masters.
Should I develop a low-cost medicinal bath formula?"
With his enhanced Eternal Power, Gula could sense subtle changes in the herbs, making formula development relatively easy.
Gula lowered his head, gazing at his shadow, his thoughts racing.
Finally, he made up his mind:
"Ordinary work doesn't contribute much to cultivation.
Tang San can hone his hammer techniques and strengthen his physique by forging iron; I can't waste time on repetitive tasks."
"The paper not only concerns the faith system's development but also the royalties, supplementing my living expenses, and the most important system reward.
I really don't have a choice."
Gula's eyes were resolute as he clarified the work he needed to do.
"First, convert the Shadow Clone technique into a Soul Power version, maintaining a distance of at least a thousand meters between them. It will be a bit difficult, but we can overcome it by absorbing the clones' memories and training."
"Second, use the mature Shadow Clone to collect royalties. Sigh, I originally wanted to give up the royalties, but I couldn't bear to. More importantly, I need research funds for experiments; I can't rely solely on wishful thinking for all the data."
"Third, acquire some medicinal herb seeds and see if we can grow them on the farm.
If so… a thousand times faster growth rate, then we won't lack medicinal herbs in the future."
Fourth, analyze the medicinal properties of the herbs, combine them to form a formula to strengthen the physique and relieve muscle fatigue, and keep it a secret."
Gula paused for a long time. If he could get the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family's medicinal bath formula from Yu Xiaogang, it would definitely save a lot of research time.
But it concerned his future faith, and he didn't want any accidents.
Besides, no matter how much of a scoundrel Yu Xiaogang was, he wouldn't recklessly divulge the sect's secret formula.
In the original story, he prepared the medicinal baths himself and let Tang San and the others soak in them directly.
"Tang San seems to have received the instruction, but it's too early. I'd better research it myself.
My Everlasting Power is less sensitive to non-plant-based medicinal materials, so it's best to differentiate it from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's medicinal baths to prevent them from benefiting from it."
"Right, there's also whale glue. I'll research an internal formula based on whale glue.
Hmm... I can operate according to the theory of energy cubes, which will be much simpler."
A glint of light flashed in Cooler's eyes, and he had already come up with an idea.
"Speaking of energy cubes, could energy cubes for Ghost Pokémon heal soul injuries?"
Cooler thought of many things in an instant and decided to try it after he had some points.
"If I can awaken my clone without it fully recovering, I'll essentially have a research assistant with the same memories but different thinking, and a helper whose power I can borrow at crucial moments."
At that time, Cooler's plan can be more aggressive, and the progress will be faster and faster.
"And there's the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire; it must contain herbs for healing souls. Even without immortal herbs, the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Medicine King would be effective."
"Next time I write my paper, I'll leave a hook for Dugu Bo.
If I get the chance to connect with him, his complete collection of herbs will be incredibly useful!"
Groudon possesses Master-level Alchemist skills, specializing in healing and removing abnormal statuses.
He also has exceptional insights and research on how to enhance Pokémon's stats.
Groudon believes that if Pokémon can be eaten, then Soul Masters certainly can too.
"There will always be people in this world who won't appreciate what others have done for them. Relying solely on papers to collect faith is probably unsustainable.
The biggest use of papers is still to spread fame and control public opinion."
"If I could create a merchant guild that spans the entire continent, selling potions that work on Soul Masters, on the condition that they sincerely recite my name when purchasing them, it would definitely speed up the collection of faith."
Gula murmured, "I don't understand the power of faith, but I do understand Ghost Pokémon, their resentment, life essence, and dreams."
"There must be something related to the power of faith among them.
Finding the common ground and making a machine to detect faith shouldn't be difficult."
Hmm, this requires research using master-level machines.
I might have to go to the Sun and Moon Continent to learn how to make Soul Guidance Devices.
Gula rubbed his temples. There were too many things to do, and he was a little overwhelmed. If only he had a few more clones.
"No, once Groudon wakes up, we can cooperate with the humans in the Pokémon world and delegate some tasks to them; that would save us a lot of trouble."
"I remember in the Hoenn region, Champion Steven Shivgeny is quite approachable, and his family owns a German company; his strength and status are impeccable. I could give it a try."
Groudon took out an Ultra Ball, found his notebook, and wrote down all his inspirations and ideas to avoid missing anything.
As he wrote, Groudon thought about how he had resources from two worlds and needed to make full use of them.
He was a weakling in the Douluo Continent, but in the Pokémon world, he was a legendary Pokémon; as long as he didn't act recklessly, he was safe.
