Chapter 74: Chapter 9 The Imperial Doctor
The background of the situation has its origins at the dical hall.
Over the past ten or so days, Yun Sheng also discovered the main sources of inco of the Little Huichun dical Hall. This dical hall, apart from providing various types of deceptive certifications, primarily earns by helping neighbors gather and decoct dicine for treating minor ailnts like headaches, fevers, and diarrhea. They never encountered any complicated or hard-to-diagnose diseases.
Once, Doctor Fan unexpectedly discovered that Yun Sheng could treat patients, after which he entrusted all these tasks to her.
The neighbors quickly grew familiar with Yun Sheng too, and they all liked this young girl who, despite her age, was quite knowledgeable about dical principles.
Doctor Fan even encouraged Yun Sheng to participate in the dicine Man Examination.
A "dicine Man" refers to a high-level dicine Gathering Boy responsible for tasting, decocting, and preparing dicines. Typically, a mid-sized dical hall will have one dicine Man.
In the Wuji Continent, being a doctor is a highly sought-after profession, but to beco a Doctor, or like Doctor Fan a Bell Doctor, one needs to pass the examination of the dicine Emperor Pavilion.
It was not the first ti Yun Sheng heard the na of the dicine Emperor Pavilion. She rembered that during the Hemostatic Agent incident in Banana Leaf Village, the village chief’s grandfather had ntioned it.
Listening to Yun Sheng inquire about the dicine Emperor Pavilion, Doctor Fan was montarily lost in thought. After quite a while, he said, "Anyone who studies ancient dical skills knows about the dicine Emperor Pavilion. Just like Mages have Magic Temples, Martial Artists have Martial Arts Halls, Summoners have Summoning Institutes across different places, doctors have the dicine Emperor Pavilion for their examinations."
The dicine Emperor Pavilion is the largest ancient dical skills organization on the continent, its branches sprawling across the continent like a huge towering tree with leaves and veins all over.
The exceptional aspect of the dicine Emperor Pavilion is that it is not just the authoritative examining body for doctors across the continent, but it also controls the continent’s most precious dicinal herbs, finished dicines, and outstanding doctors.
"So say the strongest on the continent are Mages, others say Martial Artists, and yet others say Summoners, but I believe, the strongest on the continent are the doctors, because they can control life and death. Yun Sheng, if you want to find a cure for your father’s illness, there is one place you must go, and that is the dicine Emperor Pavilion," Doctor Fan spoke nonstop, his eyes flashing with complex emotions as he ntioned the dicine Emperor Pavilion.
Yun Sheng decided to take the dicine Man Examination. With her past life’s dical knowledge, along with the Yun Family’s dical Book and the morized Qimin dical Book, Yun Sheng believed she should not find the examination difficult.
After observing Yun Sheng for a while, Doctor Fan was confident about Yun Sheng’s foundation in herbs.
After discussing, they decided that Doctor Fan would accompany Yun Sheng to the dicine Emperor Pavilion in Yujing City the next day to take the dicine Man Examination.
Early the next day, Yun Sheng was about to change into her dicine Gathering Boy’s Uniform she had in Banana Leaf Village but discovered that she had grown taller and outgrown it over the months.
Seeing this, Doctor Fan brought out a clean set of dicine Boy’s clothes, "This is the dicine Boy’s clothes my daughter used to wear; it’s about your size. You can change into it."
Only then did Yun Sheng realize that Doctor Fan was a widower, and she wondered where his family might be now.
After changing her clothes, Yun Sheng followed Doctor Fan to the towering building of the dicine Emperor Pavilion.
The dicine Emperor Pavilion was indeed the largest dical institution on the continent, standing imposingly along the street from a distance.
dicinal farrs and patients were entering and exiting the dicine Emperor Pavilion, and the building itself was seven stories high, each floor about ten tis the size of a small dical hall.
As soon as Yun Sheng and Doctor Fan entered, they slled a faint fragrance.
At the main entrance, there was a Red Gold Tripod emitting a curling fragrance.
Inhaling this fragrance, Yun Sheng felt her mind clear instantly.
A person resembling a Pharmacist stepped forward and asked about the two’s purpose.
Upon hearing that Doctor Fan was bringing Yun Sheng to participate in the dicine Man Examination, the Pharmacist took Yun Sheng inside the building.
The first floor of the dicine Emperor Pavilion sells various herbs, the second floor sells finished dicines, the third floor serves as an examination place for Doctors below the Pharmacist level, and the fourth floor and above are for examinations of other levels of Doctors.
Before leaving, Doctor Fan had inford Yun Sheng that the dicine Man Examination consisted of three steps, naly gathering herbs, decocting dicines, and distinguishing dicines, which were exactly the main procedures to test whether a dicine Man is qualified.
Ascending the stairs to the third floor, several attendants and doctors were already waiting in the spacious examination room.
One of them imdiately recognized Doctor Fan and sneered contemptuously, blocking the way for Doctor Fan and Yun Sheng.
Doctor Fan seed to have known this man already, and he said indifferently, "A good dog does not stand in the way."
"Fan Zhi, you have such audacity to insult this doctor. Let
tell you, just last month, this doctor passed the Four-direction Wanderer Doctor examination. Soon, I will be appointed by the dicine Emperor Pavilion to assu the position of Pavilion Master in a southern city. Do you still think you are the Imperial Doctor Fan of old? Now you are nothing more than a Bell Doctor struggling to make ends et," the man, red-faced and ears burning, pushed at Doctor Fan.
Imperial Doctor, was Doctor Fan originally an Imperial Doctor?
Yun Sheng could hardly imagine that such a prominent Imperial Doctor would nestle in a small dical hall.
Doctor Fan’s expression slightly changed, and he couldn’t help but grip his Magic Wand.
"Fan Zhi! Cheng Sihai! Are you causing a scene here? No disturbances are allowed within the dicine Emperor Pavilion," at that mont, a lady appeared gracefully.
The lady had a beautiful appearance, wearing a long robe of a doctor, and a waist card hung at her waist, which Yun Sheng recognized. It was identical to the fake "Imperial Doctor Token" that Ye Huli presented earlier in Taishang Town.
This beautiful lady was an Imperial Doctor.
At her arrival, Cheng Sihai, who had previously provoked around, imdiately showed an infatuated expression.
The attending children and the Pharmacists present imdiately showed their respect by reverently calling out, "Imperial Doctor."
Doctor Fan’s hand, which had been gripping the Magic Wand, relaxed, his expression somber, "Yao Rong, I’m not here to cause trouble, I’m here to accompany this child to the dicine Man Examination," Doctor Fan did not look directly at the woman.
"dicine Man Examination? Haha, Fan Zhi, does your broken dical hall still need a dicine Man?" the Four-direction Wanderer Doctor disdainfully glanced at Yun Sheng, judging by his age, he couldn’t be more than six or seven years old, an age at which, unless he had been studying dicine since childhood, he couldn’t possibly pass the dicine Man Examination at the dicine Emperor Pavilion.
This Four-direction Wanderer Doctor, nad Cheng Sihai, learned the art together with Fan Zhi and Yao Rong. His talent, however, was significantly lesser than the other two. He had been nurturing a crush on Yao Rong for many years and was very jealous of Fan Zhi.
Today, his nephew, who was also his own dicine Gathering Boy, ca to participate in the dicine Man Examination, which is why he and Doctor Fan bumped into each other.
Without uttering a word, Imperial Doctor Rong looked at the clothes Yun Sheng was wearing, her eyes dimming slightly, she sternly said, "Take this child upstairs, and Fan Zhi, Doctor Cheng, neither of you are allowed inside."
"Doctor Fan, I can go up by myself, I will definitely beco a dicine Man," Yun Sheng said loudly, deliberately glaring at the Four-direction Wanderer Doctor.
But Cheng Sihai inwardly muttered, "Beco a dicine Man, huh? It’s not that simple."
