Mixed Blessing System

Upon arriving in a humble community in Peters City, Lothur found himself in a neighborhood filled with ordinary, tiny houses, with a large concentration of people on the streets.

In this place where there were almost no cultivators, Lothur had no trouble looking for Sofie. He just used his spiritual probing after seeing with his visual ability the people with spiritual energy flowing in their bodies in the surroundings.

Thus, soon Sofie’s status appeared before him, revealing where she was.

[Name: Sofie]

[Cultivation: level 8]

[STR: 31] [CON: 33] [DEX: 34.1] [AGI: 30.2]

Lothur saw this and a glow about 180 meters in front of him, where a little house of less than 20 square meters stood in front of a small street fountain.

He proceeded on his way, avoiding the mud puddles in his path, and the animal dung around there due to the constant passing of animals in the surrounding area.

The smell in the surrounding area was not the best either, totally different from the place where he had just bought a property in this city.

But Lothur had no problem passing through such a place, and soon he was next to that little house searching for Sofie.

Meanwhile, a dozen people from different organizations were watching him from afar.

After the Province Conference had ended, the local families had already placed people to watch Lothur as he moved around Peters City.

So several of these individuals belonged to local powers and were around to watch him for the hour.

Acting against someone within Peters City was complicated due to imperial laws. So unless Lothur moved bizarrely or left this city, several of them would avoid having to act.

At the same time, for the time being, Lothur’s biggest enemies were trying to understand better what he was and how they would best act against him. So most of these families were not thinking of attacking him any time soon, and these individuals were not there to cause him problems.

But some of them would cause trouble indirectly!

‘This guy didn’t spend the night at the Frost estate the day before… Instead, he went to look at a house for sale and then disappeared.’ Someone there thought to himself, considering that maybe Lothur had moved away from the Frost estate.

But since he was not sure of that yet, he still had to investigate the matter further before reporting his family.

On the other hand, not only enemies were there!

The Frost family and Houses Christen and Becker had people watching Lothur, not only to help him in case of need but also to check what he was doing.

Accompanying an ally was just as crucial as spying on an enemy!

Amidst so many watching him, Lothur entered that house after dodging many mortals, ignoring the people he had already noticed in the surroundings.

“Excuse me… Please, I’m passing…” He commented in a low voice, trying to understand why so many mortals were crowding into that tiny house.

“Ahhh!”

“How it hurts, how it hurts!” An old man’s voice reached Lothur’s ears as, little by little, he saw what Sofie was doing there.

That violet-haired woman was sitting on a wooden stool next to a bed, where an old man, who must have been around 70 years old, was lying in agony.

He was pale, while his frail and thin body shook with sweat dripping from his pores, looking extremely unwell.

There were some open wounds around his body, with open fractures and several bruises around his stomach.

Lothur saw this and understood the situation due to people’s comments in the surrounding area.

“What a disgrace…”

“The old man fell off his horse while working today, and the animal trampled him.”

“Ahh, how tragic. I heard he did this every day, but the animal got out of control with his fall, and it all ended like this.”

“Is there any hope?”

“If a good doctor was willing to help, maybe… But Miss Sofie is still an apprentice… Sigh, hard to say.”

Lothur understood the situation and approached Sofie, not taking time to introduce himself to her as he stooped down beside her.

“Sofie, it’s me, Lothur. I’m here about that matter.” He said, managing to get the worried look off this beautiful woman’s face as she looked at him in surprise, not understanding the situation.

“Lothur?” She looked at him uncomprehendingly. “What are you doing here?”

“I have finished learning the basics of medicine and am here to begin my field practices.” He smiled as he looked at her.

Medicine practices in this world were usually done with mortals who could not afford proper treatment and subjected themselves to apprentices like Lothur and Sofie.

Sofie was already at a relatively advanced level for someone at the 1st stage, but even so, she still did this kind of service.

Since people like that old man did not have many alternatives, they accepted to be the object of study of these apprentices for the chance to be taken care of.

That was the current case, and as soon as Sofie understood why Lothur was there and got over her shock, she explained the patient’s situation to this handsome young man.

“Lothur, this patient’s case is quite complex for someone learning. So this will be a good initial experience for you.” As she dried the sweat on her forehead with the sleeves of her clothes, she said she was a little nervous.

These people were just strangers to her. But Sofie always felt nervous about attending to people in that man’s condition, as she was afraid of making her patients’ situation worse.

Hence, she was pretty stressed when explaining that old man’s situation to Lothur.

“He had his two legs and his right arm trampled by a horse, so he has muscle injuries, fractures, and broken bones in those parts of his body. At the same time, some of his internal organs were severely injured by the animal’s kick…”

Lothur listened intently to this man’s case while paying attention to that body in agony, using her visual ability to identify each problem cited by Sofie.

She then asked. “Do you know what should be done in this situation?” ．

“We must stop the bleeding in the internal organs and that exposed fracture.” He said as he pointed to the broken knee at an odd angle from where Sofie was trying to stop the bleeding.

Sofie nodded in agreement. “And then what?”

“Then we have to repair his injured or crushed internal organs. We may need to do a transplant if our medicines don’t fix the situation.” He saw that that old man’s liver was extremely bruised.

There were certain medicines capable of regenerating injured tissue to a certain degree. So it was not impossible for a crushed liver, for example, to regenerate to a safe level after applying certain medicines to the patient’s body.

The problem was that for this medical practice, there were not many resources capable of doing this…

Sofie was impressed to hear Lothur’s analysis, seeing that he could easily analyze and choose a starting point for treatment, despite being an amateur.

“Very well. I will begin the procedure while you watch what I am doing.”
