Chapter 106: Medical Knowledge
” Did you touch it?” her brother asked.
“Yeah, but only once. I threw it away after the thorns stabbed me a little,” the girl said.
Hearing this Ula’s eyes shinned a little. “Little girl, can you tell this uncle what the flower looked like?” he asked.
“Umm… It was this big,” she said making a small shape with her hands full of rashes and lumps. “And… and … it’s color was like that,” she said pointing to a purple lining on Ula’s clothing.
“Anything else you can remember about this flower?” Ula asked.
“Hmm… it had tiny hands coming out from the inside,” she said.
“Hellspawn Orchid,” Ula said in realization.
“Attendant Ning, get me my slab,” he said.
Ning smiled and nodded. He quickly took out the stone slab for the physician and gave it to him. Ula began to bring out different ingredients and started crushing them.
Instead of a paste, however, he made a powder using them. He separated the powder into 2 different parts and put them on separate paper before folding it.
“Make her drink one of these today mixed with a glass of water, and another one tomorrow morning as soon as she wakes up. That should be enough,” Ula said.
“Thank you, doctor. …and the price?” he asked.
“It’s… 4 gold coins,” Ula said.
‘That’s 5 silver coins higher than the actual price, but whatever. He’s not as bad that Elder Neal who would take 4 entire gold coins in excess,” Ning thought.
The man paid the 4 gold coins and left the room after thanking Ula. Ning walked them to the outside and returned back to Ula.
“Ah, thank you back there. I was really scared I would mess up my first time and couldn’t properly examine the girl,” Ula said.
“It’s fine. I understand it’s your first day. You will need some time to get used to it,” Ning said.
“Yes, yes. Here, please take this as a thank you,” Ula said as he handed him something. Ning walked forward to see what it was and it turned out that he was giving him 5 silver coins.
“What’s this for?” Ning asked.
“You helped me, didn’t you? If not for you I wouldn’t have figured out what the problem was, so as a thank you, I am giving you what extra I took from the patients. Although, I probably shouldn’t have taken 5 silver coins and just given you something from my own pocket,” Ula said.
Ning smiled at the response.
The rest of the day, Ning had to help him a few times here and there, but Ula was mostly competent at his job. By the end of the day, he had lost his nervousness at work and was finally starting to act like an actual Physician.
Ning went back to his cottage to cultivate for another day and rest.
Over the next few days, Ning kept getting put with seemingly incompetent physicians. Not because they didn’t know what they were doing, but due to other factors.
Some were new, some were very old, some were way too arrogant for their own good, and some just didn’t like working so they would try to lengthen out each patient for more than an hour.
The registration hall on the other hand kept sending disgusting-looking or very gory patients straight to any physicians that were attending him.
He didn’t even have to guess to know that it was all the old man Neal’s work.
‘Bastard, Just two more weeks and I will stop having to do this,’ Ning thought.
Today was his day off. He only had to work 6 days a week, and on the 7th day, he could go to the Learning hall to learn new things.
Today, Ning wanted to see if there was anything interesting in there. So he went ahead and checked it out. There were Elders in big halls giving speeches, teaching people about different things.
Ning stood down to listen for a few minutes before realizing that there was nothing to know there that he already didn’t know. So, he walked over to the books section where he looked through the different books.
There were books here that were different from what he had learned in the library back in the sect, but he soon realized that the content was overall the same.
‘There is no more content for me to learn in Pure Cleansing sect is there,’ he thought.
‘System, show me knowledge of Medical treatment for all diseases and poisons and whatnots in the Planet Kumia,’ he said.
“How much energy do I have?” he said as he quickly checked the status and found out that he had around 7 billion energy right now. ‘Hmm… most of it is just from Qi, so I should get rid of it since it’s useless.’
‘System, buy the Intermediate version,’ he said.
Information flowed into his mind, more than he could have imagined. Soon, he learned that the Pure Cleansing Sect barely knew 2% of the entire thing.
‘I guess it’s understandable. They are quite a low level in terms of cultivation,’ Ning thought.
He also had to buy information on ingredients due to all the new names that were popping up in his mind that he knew nothing about. So, he spent another 2 Billion energy on an Intermediate version of the knowledge.
After all of that was learned, he knew that he no longer had anything else to learn from the learning hall of the physician’s guild. So, he walked over to the section of the learning hall where they took part in the exam and put his name in before going back to his cottage.
Soon, he would become a volunteer too.
