Chapter 77: Chapter 12 Medicine Man Examination (Part 3)

Cheng Qing was also cautious, he feared that Yun Sheng might overhear the medicinal herbs he identified, so he wrote down the answers and handed them to Kong the Pharmacist.

After taking a look at the paper, the latter sadly shook his head: "You guessed eleven herbs correctly, but you are still missing one, so, your Medicine Man Examination is still not qualified."

"Not qualified! Kong Fang, are you deliberately finding fault here? Which Medicine Man Examination ever examined the components of fragrances? In the Medicine Emperor Pavilion, there are over three thousand different fragrant formulas; not to mention these Medicine Gathering Boys, even we might not be able to distinctly identify every single one. With this kind of examination, who could pass?" Watching from the side, Cheng Sihai saw his nephew fail and cried out discontentedly.

He, considering himself a Four-direction Wanderer Doctor, simply disregarded those pharmacists within the Medicine Emperor Pavilion who were of lower status than him.

The current Kong Fang, usually a straightforward person who doesn’t read people’s faces, today of all days had made his nephew fail, and he couldn’t believe that anyone could discern the fragrance within the Red Gold Tripod in just one or two tries.

"It seems to me that you are the one picking faults here, your own Medicine Gathering Boy is inferior in skills, yet you blame the assessment for being too difficult, it is truly laughable. Who says no Medicine Gathering Boy here can differentiate what fragrance lurks within the Red Gold Tripod, I can," a pleasant childlike voice reached the ears of everyone present.

Engrossed in her thoughts, Yun Sheng stepped forward, she quickly wrote down several names of herbs, seeing this, Cheng Sihai couldn’t help but sneer: "I thought you were something special, but you only managed to write eleven herbs as well, how is that any better than Cheng Qing? Still unqualified."

"I did not say this was my final answer," under the watchful eyes of all, Yun Sheng walked over to the Red Gold Tripod, she pushed with her pale hand slightly opening a corner of the lid.

She then swept her hand inside it, tasted it in her mouth, her eyeballs rolled, and then stated with a leisurely face: "It tastes sweet, has a golden red color, and appears powdery, if I am not mistaken, this last herb is Poisonous Dragon Gall Powder, please, Kong the Pharmacist, make your judgment!"

"Wow--" Seeing Yun Sheng’s action, all the Medicine Gathering Boys who had been deemed unqualified boiled over with excitement, mocking Yun Sheng, with Cheng Qing being the most vehement, "After tasting it and then guessing the herb, what’s so special about that? We all recognize Poisonous Dragon Gall Powder, it’s just mixed in the fragrance and couldn’t be distinguished momentarily."

"Kong the Pharmacist only asked us to recognize the medicinal ingredients in the fragrance, he did not specify how it should be identified. Identifying herbs requires an approach from multiple aspects including color, fragrance, taste. If it can’t be seen with the naked eye nor smelled with the nose, then one must taste it. As a doctor, if you can’t cleverly use your own body to differentiate the nature of medicinal herbs, then what kind of doctor are you!" As soon as Yun Sheng’s words came out, applause was heard.

Apparently, Yao Rong had been standing by the side all along, she also heard Yun Sheng’s words.

"Well said, there is no need to question the subject of this rigorous examination, using herbs contained in the fragrance as the final round of examination was my idea. Although this young lady is not one of us from the Medicine Emperor Pavilion, her words capture the essence of our Pavilion’s purpose. Our first Medicine Emperor, the founder of the Medicine Emperor Pavilion, initially relied on tasting hundreds of herbs to identify their components and toxic properties," Yao Rong couldn’t help but envy Fan Zhi for having such an excellent Medicine Gathering Boy.

No, it should be Medicine Man now.

Having passed three rounds of tests means Yun Sheng has now become a qualified Medicine Man.

She also became the only one today, to pass the Medicine Emperor Pavilion’s Medicine Man Examination.

"Congratulations, your name is Yun Sheng, right? This is the Medical Token issued by the Medicine Emperor Pavilion," Yao Rong gave Yun Sheng a beautifully carved Medicine Emperor’s Medical Token.

Yun Sheng received the Medical Token, and Fan Zhi couldn’t help but nod in approval.

"Yun Sheng, would you like to join the Medicine Emperor Pavilion? As a doctor with potential, you can receive the most comprehensive training in medicine here. I am willing to accept you as my Medicine Man, to personally guide your study in Ancient Medical Skills," as she bestowed the Medical Token to Yun Sheng, Yao Rong’s words took everyone by surprise.

The implication of Yao Rong’s words was that she wanted to take Yun Sheng as a disciple!

Being taken as a disciple by an Imperial Physician, this is indeed an incredible fortune.

Everyone was filled with envy, only Fan Zhi’s expression slightly changed, his gaze towards Yun Sheng filled with complexity.

Yun Sheng was also somewhat surprised. She did not expect that Yao Rong would directly propose to take her as an apprentice.

Being favored by an Imperial Doctor and having the backing of a huge entity like Medicine Emperor Pavilion, she could even use this opportunity to find a way to awaken her father.

Seemingly guessing Yun Sheng’s answer, Fan Zhi quietly turned around, planning to leave the Medicine Emperor Pavilion.

Just at this moment, someone hurried in, holding a child covered in blood.

"Doctor, Doctor, please save this child, he was just trampled by a runaway horse outside, and he’s badly injured."

Yao Rong and the rest of the people in the Medicine Emperor Pavilion hurried forward to examine.

Yun Sheng also squeezed into the crowd.

The child was about eight or nine years old, with severe injuries, dressed simply, clearly from a commoner family.

His limbs and chest bore the marks of bruises and scrapes, but the most severe injury was on his head.

His head was swollen significantly, at least double the size of a normal child’s head, and he had already lost consciousness.

Yao Rong checked the child’s pulse and listened to his heartbeat, then unconsciously shook her head; even she was not sure if she could save the child, "This child’s injuries are severe. Unless he is taken to the Great National Doctor and treated with the Youlong Needle Technique, there is no saving him."

"Impossible, the Great National Doctor left a few days ago to visit a friend. He’s not in Yujing," Qi Fangfei said, growing anxious upon hearing this.

"This..." Yao Rong hesitated, if it had been any other part of the body she might have been somewhat confident, but with the injury located on the head, improper needling could have unthinkable consequences.

However, if they delayed any longer, the child’s situation would become even more dire.

"Let me do it," a deep voice broke the room’s gloom.

The speaker was Fan Zhi, who had already been preparing to leave.

He anxiously looked at the unconscious child, wanting to step forward and take him away.

"This is a patient of Medicine Emperor Pavilion, even Imperial Doctor Rong has no solution, what could you, a mere Bell Doctor, possibly do!" Cheng Sihai, leading several doctors from the Medicine Emperor Pavilion, surrounded Doctor Fan.

"Fan Zhi, put the child down, this is the Medicine Emperor Pavilion, you cannot touch the patients here," Yao Rong’s face also couldn’t maintain its composure.

"Cannot touch! Do you have a way to save him? Have you forgotten how our daughter died!" Fan Zhi, usually a gentle face, suddenly changed like a storm, filled with hatred.
