Chapter 249 Visit to the Doctor
After listening to the old man's words, Uchiha Feiyu nodded slightly and asked:
"Then do you know where those pirates are now?"
The old man smiled bitterly and shook his head:
"After those pirates stole some food and Bailey, they left the country. If they were still here, no one would dare to work at the docks now."
The pirates who left should be Blackbeard and his gang! Tsk, this guy ran fast, otherwise I would have obtained the Dark-Dark Fruit and the Alien Physique.
"By the way, how long have those pirates been gone?"
"About two or three months?"
Nodding slightly, Uchiha Feiyu had an idea in his mind. Since he had been away for so long, it was probably time for that shameless guy Wapol to return to the Magnetic Drum Kingdom.
Wapol's strength is average, and he relies entirely on the Swallow-Swallow Fruit. However, this guy is as timid as a mouse, so if you want to attack him, you have to hit him with one blow, otherwise he will definitely escape without a trace.
"Okay, thank you for helping us solve our puzzles, but we are going to travel around this country. Maybe we can meet some hermit medical experts?!"
The old man was slightly stunned after hearing what Uchiha Feiyu said, and then seemed to remember something:
"A hermit medical expert? Well... you can go look for him in the Great Snow Mountain. There is said to be a doctor called the Witch who is over 100 years old. To be able to live to this age, it goes without saying that her medical skills must be very advanced."
Without the old man telling him, Uchiha Feiyu was also very clear about the identity of this witch. She was the Dr. Kuleha he was looking for.
Although this 140-year-old witch is old, she is in good health. She can drink plum wine and climb snowy mountains. In a sense, she can be said to be the number one person in the world of pirates who takes good care of her body.
In the world of pirates, there are countless medical skills used to cure diseases, fight, or kill people, but there are not many medical skills used to maintain the body and prolong life. The practice of human immortal martial arts actually relies more on this type of medical skills.
The witch on the snow mountain was originally just a legend in the country of Cigu. However, the old man in front of him had lived to this age, so it went without saying that he knew this country very well.
Besides, the Magnetic Drum Kingdom is only this big after all, and many secrets become clear after staying there for a long time, so it is normal to know something about this witch doctor.
"Thank you very much for the information you gave me, old man," Uchiha Feiyu pulled out a handful of Bailey from his arms, handed it to the old man, then turned around and shouted:
"Nami, get ready to go!"
As soon as he finished speaking, without waiting for the old man to return the banknotes in his hand, the whole person turned into a ball of blood light and flew into the sky.
Hearing Uchiha Feiyu's cry, the huge lion Liki spread its wings and flew in the same way, stirring up a gust of wind. When the old man at the port came to his senses, he saw that they had already flown far away.
"Really, Feiyu, I'm just asking for information, why do you have to give it to that old man Bailey?"
Nami in the sky kept chattering, causing Uchiha Feiyu to roll his eyes and sigh:
"Alright, alright, stop nagging and be more generous, okay? It's just a few thousand Baileys, right? That amount of money is only enough to buy a few dozen newspapers!"
"One day I'll take you to the Golden Country, and then you won't care about this little money anymore!"
"Golden Township?"
There was a golden light flashing in Nami's eyes, and she wanted to ask something more, but at this time Uchiha Feiyu interrupted their conversation with a "here we are".
On the snowy mountain in the distance, Nami and Uchiha Feiyu both saw a house. The two of them descended from the air. Uchiha Feiyu immediately used his observation Haki to scan the area, but did not find any life.
"Not here? Then where is it?"
Uchiha Feiyu knocked his head. After all, he had read the comic One Piece for countless years. For a moment, he really couldn't remember where Chopper and his teacher had gone.
But soon, when Uchiha Feiyu's eyes swept across the palace of the Magnetic Drum Kingdom from the snowy mountains, he awakened his memories that he had not picked up for many years:
"By the way, that reindeer and that old doctor woman should have run off to the palace!"
It has to be said that Dr. Kuleha is very talented and bold. She took advantage of Wapol's absence and went to live in the palace, treating it as her home.
However, a king who would be frightened by pirates and run away, abandoning his country and people, would indeed have no dignity and deterrent power.
Remembering where Dr. Kuleha lives now, Uchiha Feiyu didn't say much and took Nami directly to the edge of the palace.
With a sweep of his Observation Haki, Uchiha Feiyu discovered two people in the palace, or rather, one person and one reindeer. He came to the gate and knocked hard, and immediately heard a voice coming from inside, "Here they come."
The door opened, Nami poked her head in, but she didn't see the person who opened the door, and she was suddenly a little surprised:
"Eh? Where's the person who opened the door for us? Where is he?"
"I'm right here, look down, look down!!"
Nami lowered her head and saw a cute creature with a furry blue nose below her. She was stunned for a moment:
"Hey, what is this? A blue raccoon cat?"
"It's not blue, it's just a blue nose!!"
The cute creature flew into a rage and snorted:
"And I'm not a raccoon cat, I'm a reindeer, a reindeer!!"
Uchiha Feiyu nodded:
"That's right, Nami, you are wrong. I am just a reserve food that knows a little bit about medicine. How can I compare with the omnipotent Doraemon?"
The blue-nosed reindeer was stunned for a moment:
"Doraemon, the all-powerful one? What is that?"
"It's just a blue mechanical raccoon cat. If I'm not mistaken, little reindeer, your name is Chopper, right?"
"Huh? How do you know my name?"
Chopper stared at Uchiha Feiyu in a daze, lost in thought. Uchiha Feiyu curled his lips into an evil angle, and said with a smile:
"Don't you know? Now the whole Grand Line has spread the rumor that there is a blue-nosed deer that ate the Human-Human Fruit. It is the most delicious reindeer in the world. Eating its meat can prolong one's life and prevent all diseases!"
"Nowadays, many kings of countries, great pirates, and even the world's nobles want to find this magical deer!"
"Wow!! So amazing! Isn't that a panacea?! I must find it and research the formula of the panacea!"
"Blue nose, little deer, Human-Human Fruit... eh!?"
Chopper, who was a little excited at first, suddenly froze up, and raised his head slowly with a crackling sound. The expression on his face looked as if he was about to cry:
"I, I, I... I am the blue-nosed deer that ate the Human-Human Fruit..." "Yes, it seems that I am very lucky. The next step is to research whether to braise the venison, stew it, or grill it!"
"Which method can maintain more efficacy?"
"No no no no... That's not right!!! My meat doesn't have that kind of effect at all!! Don't look at me with those scary eyes!! My meat is not delicious at all, and there is no way it can make people live a hundred years and be free from all diseases!"
"Who knows? I heard that a female doctor named Dr. Kuleha once ate blue-nosed reindeer meat, so she lived to be 140 years old."
"So Doctor Doriel lived to be 140 years old because she ate my flesh? I didn't know that... No, that's not right! Doctor Doriel has never eaten my flesh!"
"My meat really doesn't have this effect, you have to believe me!"
"I see, there really is someone who ate your flesh and lived to be 140 years old!"
"That has nothing to do with eating my flesh! It's because of the great medical skills and health preservation of Doctor Duolier..."
It was getting darker and darker. The poor little reindeer's eyes had turned into circles and he was shaking all over. It seemed like he was going to faint from fright in the next second.
"Well, don't scare my poor reindeer son, a guest from afar."
"My secret to staying young is not eating blue-nosed reindeer meat!"
Accompanied by a chuckle, an old lady with many wrinkles on her face but in good spirits walked out.
The old lady looked a little thin, but she had neat teeth, thick hair, and her skin still had some luster. Judging from her appearance, even if someone said she was only in her 50s, some people would believe it.
But in fact, Dr. Kuleha is now 141 years old. Looking at her current spirit, she can live another ten or twenty years without any problem. Excluding some special races and devil fruit abilities, this female doctor may very well be the longest-lived person in the One Piece world.
"Is this Doctor Kuleha? Hello, my name is Uchiha Feiyu. I'm sorry for visiting you so suddenly."
Uchiha Feiyu stopped teasing little Chopper and looked at Dr. Kuleha with a smile on his face. The old woman took a sip of wine and said with a smile:
"It's quite presumptuous, but it's your ability to find this place. Please, what can I do for you? Do you want to ask me for the secret of eternal youth?"
Uchiha Feiyu shrugged lightly and said with a smile:
"To some extent, that's true! Doctor Kuleha's technique for maintaining her body is considered unique in the entire ocean!"
"Ha, you're trying to flatter me like this, it looks like you're in real trouble. But whether you want to cure an illness or want my secret to eternal youth, it's going to take a lot of Baileys!"
"Bailey? What's the price?"
Upon hearing this, Nami, who was originally watching Uchiha Feiyu scaring Chopper with a smile on her face, suddenly came to her senses and came to the old lady in front of her - no matter who it is, don't even think about taking more Bailey from her!
Nami, the king of bargaining, is back!
"Well..."
Kuleha looked at Nami and Uchiha Feiyu carefully, thinking about how to make a profit from them. Nami also had a serious look on her face, ready to use her bargaining skills.
Their eyes met, and they could almost see the flash of swords, lightning and thunder. Poor little Chopper retreated to the wall, almost trembling with fear:
"So...so scary, Doctor Doriel, and this girl's eyes are so scary!"
Then Uchiha Feiyu stood directly between the two of them and made a pause gesture:
"Wait a moment, both of you! I think talking about Bailey should be a matter for later. Dr. Kuleha should first see if she can help us perfect the prescription and then talk about it after it works!"
"Prescription?! You didn't just pull out an old secret recipe from somewhere and think it's some kind of miracle drug, did you?"
"I'm telling you, don't blindly believe in so-called ancient prescriptions. The medical skills in this world are constantly improving. Most of the ancient prescriptions are not practical at all in the eyes of modern doctors!"
Kuleha lit a cigarette, blew out a puff of smoke and said, this old woman has been smoking and drinking for more than 100 years, but her health is still fine, it's amazing.
There is nothing wrong with what she said. After all, Kuleha herself has lived for more than 100 years. The prescriptions she learned when she was studying medicine are considered to be centuries-old prescriptions today. Naturally, she knows a lot about the progress of medicine.
Unless it is an ancient prescription from 800 years ago, modern medicine is definitely more advanced.
"Haha, don't be so absolute. There are actually some valuable things in the ancient prescriptions."
"Doctor Kuleha can take a look first. If it works, we can talk about the money later."
As he spoke, Uchiha Feiyu took out some prescriptions for practicing the human immortal martial arts, as well as some incense and refreshing oil recipes for practicing the ghost immortal martial arts, and handed them to Dr. Kuleha.
"I want to see what kind of ancient recipe makes you so confident."
Dr. Kuleha took the book handed to her by Uchiha Feiyu without saying a word, and began to flip through it quickly. However, soon, her reading speed became slower and slower, and finally she stopped and frowned.
After a moment, the doctor seemed to have thought of something and looked up at Uchiha Feiyu:
"These prescriptions you gave me should be folk remedies from some island, right? In addition to some common medicinal herbs, there are also many things I have never heard of..."
"But the medicinal properties of those herbs that I haven't seen before should have been marked. It shouldn't be difficult to find substitutes!"
Uchiha Feiyu interrupted Dr. Kuleha and said with a smile.
Dr. Kuleha's face froze, then she nodded:
"You're right. It's not difficult to find a substitute. It's not difficult to find a drug with stronger medicinal properties and better effects. The most important thing is the combination of the medicinal properties of these drugs. It is indeed a unique and top-notch prescription for strengthening the body."
"Moreover, the two sets of prescriptions are progressive, starting from the skin, flesh and fascia, to the bones and internal organs, and finally to the brain, marrow and blood vessels. They can strengthen the entire body. After the strengthening is completed, it is enough to triple the lifespan of humans."
The lifespan of a Martial Saint in the Yangshen World is between 150 and 200 years old, which is theoretically just a little more than twice that of an ordinary person. Although there are no rare treasures in the Pirate World, ordinary medicines are more effective, so Dr. Kuleha said that the lifespan can be tripled, which means it is almost 200 years old.
