Miracle Doctor, Wild Empress: Genius Summoner

Chapter 70 - Strange Doctor

Translated by Luxican

Yun Sheng had intended to settle down in Yujing City first, since this was Yun Canghai's hometown.

But to do that, she had to obtain a certificate issued by a physician.

But the doctor in front of her had almost starved to death. Such a person was not reliable.

And it took five silver coins to get a certificate? That was too expensive.

Yun Sheng didn't say much, turned around and left.

"Hey, little girl, don't go, I'll give a cheaper price, four and a half silver coins?" The lean man saw that the meal ticket in front of him was about to leave, and was anxious, "I'm the cheapest in the city, if you go to other medicine halls, you won't even be able to enter."

Yujing City was the Imperial Capital. The people who opened a medicine hall, were no ordinary people. The price of treatment was even more amazing.

Yun Sheng's shirt was ragged, and the money she had was also invested into Yun Canghai's wellbeing. She could barely scrape five silver coins together, but she was afraid that in other medical centers, she would be kicked out immediately.

"If you don't believe me look at this Doctor qualification," Fearing that Yun Sheng wouldn't believe him, he took out a token and handed it to Yun Sheng.

The token was similar to the "Medicine" token Yun Sheng had seen in Tai Shang Town earlier, but it was not golden, instead it was made out of some sort of purple iron, and a bell was engraved on it.

Doctor, this referred to the primary certification of the Medicine Pavilion, it was the qualification for practicing medicine and refining medications, and you could officially practice medicine in one town.

On the Wu Ji Continent the ancient medicine practitioners were divided into: Medicine Apprentice, Medicine Assistant, Pharmacist, Doctor, Senior Doctor, Imperial Doctor, Great Doctor, Supreme Doctor, and Godly Doctor.

The man in front of her turned out to be a Doctor?

"Four and a half silver coins is too expensive," Yun Sheng frowned, and started bargaining.

"Not expensive, if I tell you, I will not only issue a certificate for the silver coins, but also tell you a way to treat your unconscious relative without herbs," The man's voice fell, Yun Sheng turned and looked at him with a defensive look.

"How do you know that I have a loved one who is unconscious and needs medicine to maintain them?" Yun Sheng was cautious and had experienced the ridicule at the General's Estate. After entering the medicine hall, she had never mentioned her father's condition.

"I smelled it, you have used at least three or four different herbs, all of them precious herbs. But you are plainly dressed, certainly not from a wealthy and noble family, that must be because you have to use the precious herbs to maintain the life of your relative, am I right?" The man looked confident. His nose was even better than the pharmacist's in the Imperial Palace, and he could distinguish the different smells of various herbs.

"Four and a half silver coins, deal. But you have to tell me first, what method can replace the herbs?"

To settle down, Yun Sheng had to rent a house, and she would need to spend a lot of money. Now, she needed to make money quickly.

"Water Magic Array, Dream Cloud" the man chanted, a chopstick-sized magic scepter in his hand.

A blue magic circle, with blue clouds hovering in the center. The clouds were extremely cold, and immediately froze the table and chairs on the side.

In the Dream Cloud Array, bodily functions would be minimized, and the corresponding energy loss would be greatly reduced, to one percent of the original energy consumption.

"You are a magician? Then why are you here?" Yun Sheng was even more surprised that this Doctor was also a magician.

Being both, a doctor and a magician, how could he be so poor to almost starve to death.

"Oh, it's because I'm both a magician and a doctor that I fell to this point. Ancient Medicine and Magicians have a lot of enmity, especially in the recent years. People like me can't be on either side. It's not too late, so I will go with you to the city gate," the man showed a helpless expression.

He found his medicine box and walked to the city gate with Yun Sheng.

When Yun Sheng returned, it was near dusk, and Xiao Hei was still waiting by the carriage.

"It's you, Doctor Fan!" The city guards were obviously familiar with the man. In fact, the civilians who need to issue a certificate for entering Yujing City were all certified by Doctor Fan because of the price. So, the city guards recognized him at a glance.

"Little girl, you must be careful. This person is not honest. He is called "Ghost Doctor". You should not get treated by him," a kind city guard reminded Yun Sheng.

Doctor Fan didn't hear it, opened the carriage curtain, and looked inside.

Although, he had guessed that Yun Sheng had a comatose relative, he didn't know what kind of illness the other party had. He had to see the condition first before issuing the certificate.

At this moment, Doctor Fan frowned.

"What's wrong? Is it a contagious disease?" A city guard at the side asked.

"No, you can let him go in," Doctor Fan looked at Yun Sheng thoughtfully, took out a certificate that he had already written, signed his name on it, and gave it to the city guard.

Once the certificate was obtained, the city guard let Yun Sheng drive the carriage into the city.

The sun was setting, Yun Sheng grabbed Xiao Hei to stand on the street, her small and thin figure looked overwhelmingly lonely at this moment.

"Little girl, find a place to stay first. If you want a Dream Cloud Array for your father, you need to give me five more silver coins, but I have to warn you, Dream Cloud can only last half a month." Doctor Fan was very good at calculating, as long as Yun Sheng didn't know water magic, she would need to come to him for a Dream Cloud Array.

"I have no place to go. The inns in the city are expensive and we can't afford it," Yun Sheng frowned, looking at Yujing City in the twilight.

In the prosperous capital of the Great Zhou Empire, everyone's faces were indifferent.

Only she could protect her father.

"I have two vacant rooms behind my medical hall, but the rent is ten silver coins a month," Doctor Fan could see that Yun Sheng really had no money, and he was not a bad person. He wouldn't just let her fend for herself.

"I owe you a total of twenty silver coins. I can be a Medicine Apprentice in the medicine hall, and you can use my wages for rent and the Dream Cloud Array," Yun Sheng said immediately, although Doctor Fan's doctor grade wasn't high, a doctor, who could guess her father's condition just by smell and also knew a treatment method, could not be as useless as the others thought.

"The salary of a Medicine Apprentice is five coins at most," Doctor Fan shook his head.

"Are there any fresh Hemostatic Flowers or Moon Fruit and Withered Butterfly Vine in your medicine hall? As long as there are these three herbs, I will be able to raise the remaining 15 silver coins by the end of the month," although Yun Sheng was young, she spoke with confidence, which made Doctor Fan believe her words.

"Alright, you have a month. If you can't raise money within a month, don't blame me for kicking you, your father and your dog out," Doctor Fan nodded and went with Yun Sheng to the hospital.
