Chapter 283 - 145: Free Clinic

Words : 1317 Updated : Oct 1st, 2025

For the poor, going to a medical clinic is indeed a luxury. Even the Medicine Emperor Pavilion, which has established clinics all over the continent, conducts free clinics every few months, and over time, it has become the guiding star in the Ancient Medical World. While free clinics consume some medicinal herbs and require some time from the doctors, they easily form a good reputation among the people. The quality of the elixirs sold by a clinic is a proof of its strength, and on the other hand, the diagnostic ability of the doctors is also a very important factor. The reason why the Medicine Emperor Pavilion of Great Zhou City holds such a transcendent position in the Ancient Medical World of Great Zhou is largely due to the presence of Grandmaster Wen. In recent years, although Grandmaster Wen has rarely seen patients, whenever there are complex and difficult cases, the Medicine Emperor Pavilion always seeks him first. For a doctor, nothing is more praiseworthy than medical reputation and medical ethics. And for Little Ci’en Hall, what it currently lacks the most is reputation; with a good reputation, patients and the corresponding Medicine Men and doctors would naturally seek it out. Yun Sheng has enough money on hand, allocating a portion for free clinics is more than sufficient. "Then let’s do a free clinic, Doctor Fan, tell me, how should we conduct it?" Yun Sheng also felt that free clinics were a good approach. Speaking of free clinics, Doctor Fan became very enthusiastic, he had also conducted some small-scale free clinics in previous years, but due to the limitations in scale and funding of Huichun Hall, it had never been possible to conduct them on a large scale. Based on past experience, Doctor Fan quickly set the timing, location, and content of the free clinic. For example, with the Medicine Emperor Pavilion, the free clinic happens once every three months. The entire process of the free clinic is divided into two parts, one of which is dispensing medicines. This involves doctors from the Medicine Emperor Pavilion preparing various finished elixirs and medicinal herbs in advance, which are mostly inexpensive, primarily used for the residents’ daily illnesses and some injuries sustained by Hunter Soldiers. Such as the Medicine Emperor Pavilion mostly appoints Medicine Men level doctors to take charge of dispensing outside the pavilion. Another important aspect of the free clinic is providing consultations. The Medicine Emperor Pavilion will dispatch doctors or even Four-direction Wanderer Doctor level doctors on the day of the free clinic to treat pedestrians who either normally cannot afford treatment or who have suffered sudden injuries. Doctor Fan’s initial intention was for him to provide the consultations, after all, he is an Imperial Physician with more extensive experience in treating patients from earlier years. Yun Sheng and Lin Yao’er would handle dispensing the medicines. However, Yun Sheng raised a different opinion, she thought that the clinic was short-staffed, so it might as well handle consultations and dispensing medicines together. Moreover, since it was Little Ci’en Hall’s first free clinic and it wasn’t well-known yet, there probably wouldn’t be many people coming for treatment. She believed that the free clinic could be extended to three days, which would be appropriate, and she also disagreed with having Doctor Fan lead the consultations. "Are you worried that I am in conflict with Medicine Emperor Pavilion?" Doctor Fan saw through Yun Sheng’s concerns immediately: "Yun Sheng, I have already left the Medicine Emperor Pavilion and I don’t care how those people from there view me." "Doctor Fan, then do you care about how the Imperial Doctor views you? And what about Grandmaster Wen?" Yun Sheng could see that Doctor Fan still had deep feelings towards the Imperial Doctor, and unless absolutely necessary, she did not wish to see Doctor Fan come into direct conflict with the Imperial Doctor. "Rest assured, this is not a battle I fight alone. When the time comes, I will pull in Gu Feng and Huang Que, as well as Yaoyao, with so many helping hands, we will have enough people," Doctor Fan was touched by Yun Sheng’s thoughtfulness. The decision to conduct a free clinic at Little Ci’en Hall was quickly made. The group discussed for a whole day, and the next day, Doctor Fan helped choose the location for the clinic and the necessary medicinal herbs and elixirs. After determining the matters concerning the clinic, Lin Yao’er went out to issue a public notice for the clinic. Inside Medicine Emperor Pavilion, Qi Tian, who had just returned to Yujing from Daoye Mountain Guard City, handed the freshly obtained notice to Cheng Sihai. Previously, in Daoye Mountain Guard City, due to Yun Sheng’s appearance, Qi Tian not only failed to possess Lin Yao’er but also offended a significant client like Jia Baiwan. As a result, Qi Tian’s managed Daoye Mountain Medicine Emperor Pavilion lost nearly thirty percent of its clients during the first half of the year. This time, while escorting a batch of medicinal herbs to Jade Capital Medicine Emperor Pavilion, he happened to discover that Lin Yao’er had also arrived in Yujing. What’s more infuriating was that she had opened a Little Ci’en Hall in the locality along with an unknown female Mage. Qi Tian, a disciple trained early by Cheng Sihai himself, upon learning of this, quickly exaggerated and relayed the events to Cheng Sihai. Upon hearing this, Cheng Sihai, already annoyed by Yun Sheng’s tricks, grew even more irritated with Little Ci’en Hall. After all, Daoye Mountain Medicine Emperor Pavilion had been a lucrative source of income for him; in previous years, Qi Tian reserved twenty percent of the profits for him while lining his own pockets. This year, due to Yun Sheng’s meddlings, he’d lost a substantial portion of his under-the-table income. "Master, what should we do?" Qi Tian despised Yun Sheng and Lin Yao’er to fall from grace. "What to do? Even if their elixirs are well refined, do you think running a clinic is that easy? I reckon that Fan Zhi will not show up personally this time; otherwise, it would mean directly challenging Grandmaster Wen. As long as Fan Zhi doesn’t make an appearance, with just a female Mage, what can they achieve?" Cheng Sihai thought, even if Yun Sheng’s alchemy was great, her medical skills couldn’t be that impressive. After all, how could a girl barely ten years old not only excel in alchemy but also be a master clinician? That would indeed defy the heavens. "Master, don’t underestimate that female Mage. I previously underestimated her too, and fell into her trap. I’ve inquired around; Lin Yao’er’s sickly father was cured by that female Mage. That illness, even I couldn’t handle," Qi Tian, stung by the previous experience, was quite wary of Yun Sheng. "Really?" Cheng Sihai became somewhat uneasy upon hearing this. If Little Ci’en Hall successfully held this free clinic and gradually gained fame inside Yujing City, wouldn’t Fan Zhi then make a comeback? Thinking of how Yao Rong had been reluctant to accept his advances over the years, Cheng Sihai took the upcoming free clinic even more seriously. "Humph, we must not let Little Ci’en Hall turn the tables; it’s time to show them the might of Medicine Emperor Pavilion. Qi Tian, you arrange it. We’ll also hold a free clinic on the same day, and as for the location, pick one near Little Ci’en Hall’s clinic site. This time, I’ll personally attend to patients. Remember, the news of the clinic must not be known to anyone from Little Ci’en Hall, I want to show them what it means to be a fool who tries to teach skills to a master, only to embarrass oneself," Cheng Sihai thought of the clinic of Little Ci’en Hall being deserted, not a single person visiting, and an insidious smile spread across his face.
