Chapter 74: Chapter 9 The Imperial Doctor
The background of the situation has its origins at the medical hall.
Over the past ten or so days, Yun Sheng also discovered the main sources of income of the Little Huichun Medical Hall. This medical hall, apart from providing various types of deceptive certifications, primarily earns by helping neighbors gather and decoct medicine for treating minor ailments 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 medical principles.
Doctor Fan even encouraged Yun Sheng to participate in the Medicine Man Examination.
A "Medicine Man" refers to a high-level Medicine Gathering Boy responsible for tasting, decocting, and preparing medicines. Typically, a mid-sized medical hall will have one Medicine Man.
In the Wuji Continent, being a doctor is a highly sought-after profession, but to become a Doctor, or like Doctor Fan a Bell Doctor, one needs to pass the examination of the Medicine Emperor Pavilion.
It was not the first time Yun Sheng heard the name of the Medicine Emperor Pavilion. She remembered that during the Hemostatic Agent incident in Banana Leaf Village, the village chief’s grandfather had mentioned it.
Listening to Yun Sheng inquire about the Medicine Emperor Pavilion, Doctor Fan was momentarily lost in thought. After quite a while, he said, "Anyone who studies ancient medical skills knows about the Medicine Emperor Pavilion. Just like Mages have Magic Temples, Martial Artists have Martial Arts Halls, Summoners have Summoning Institutes across different places, doctors have the Medicine Emperor Pavilion for their examinations."
The Medicine Emperor Pavilion is the largest ancient medical 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 Medicine 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 medicinal herbs, finished medicines, and outstanding doctors.
"Some 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 Medicine Emperor Pavilion," Doctor Fan spoke nonstop, his eyes flashing with complex emotions as he mentioned the Medicine Emperor Pavilion.
Yun Sheng decided to take the Medicine Man Examination. With her past life’s medical knowledge, along with the Yun Family’s Medical Book and the memorized Qimin Medical 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 Medicine Emperor Pavilion in Yujing City the next day to take the Medicine Man Examination.
Early the next day, Yun Sheng was about to change into her Medicine 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 Medicine Boy’s clothes, "This is the Medicine 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 Medicine Emperor Pavilion.
The Medicine Emperor Pavilion was indeed the largest medical institution on the continent, standing imposingly along the street from a distance.
Medicinal farmers and patients were entering and exiting the Medicine Emperor Pavilion, and the building itself was seven stories high, each floor about ten times the size of a small medical hall.
As soon as Yun Sheng and Doctor Fan entered, they smelled 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 Medicine Man Examination, the Pharmacist took Yun Sheng inside the building.
The first floor of the Medicine Emperor Pavilion sells various herbs, the second floor sells finished medicines, 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 informed Yun Sheng that the Medicine Man Examination consisted of three steps, namely gathering herbs, decocting medicines, and distinguishing medicines, which were exactly the main procedures to test whether a Medicine 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 immediately recognized Doctor Fan and sneered contemptuously, blocking the way for Doctor Fan and Yun Sheng.
Doctor Fan seemed 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 me tell you, just last month, this doctor passed the Four-direction Wanderer Doctor examination. Soon, I will be appointed by the Medicine Emperor Pavilion to assume 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 meet," 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 medical 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 Medicine Emperor Pavilion," at that moment, 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, immediately showed an infatuated expression.
The attending children and the Pharmacists present immediately 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 Medicine Man Examination," Doctor Fan did not look directly at the woman.
"Medicine Man Examination? Haha, Fan Zhi, does your broken medical hall still need a Medicine 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 medicine since childhood, he couldn’t possibly pass the Medicine Man Examination at the Medicine Emperor Pavilion.
This Four-direction Wanderer Doctor, named 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 Medicine Gathering Boy, came to participate in the Medicine 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 become a Medicine Man," Yun Sheng said loudly, deliberately glaring at the Four-direction Wanderer Doctor.
But Cheng Sihai inwardly muttered, "Become a Medicine Man, huh? It’s not that simple."
