In Jinxia Affairs Bureau, Ximen Clinic.
"Master Yan, the patient in bed six said he was dizzy and uncomfortable."
"Take this talisman and put it on his forehead." Yan Yue arranged a talisman without raising his head. "If he still yells, feed him some Ningshen Decoction."
"Master Yan, the patient in bed fifteen said he can't breathe and wants to go out for a walk. What should I do?" someone else asked.
"Do you believe everything others say? You have to learn to judge for yourself! According to the diagnosis, he has a leg disease, but his chest and lungs are very good. What do you think we should do?"
"Uh... carry him out for a spin?" the latter said timidly.
"Of course I ignore it!" Yanyue frowned and raised his head displeased.
"Yes, yes... I know!" The other party trembled all over and ran out quickly. She only had time to see the other person's slender back and the long ears dangling above his head.
"Tsk, you can run as fast as you can." Yan Yue shook her head, showing a look of disgust.
This was the test that Xia Fan arranged for her - to sit in the medical clinic run by the Jinxia Affairs Bureau and work with many rabbit demons to treat the local residents who came for help.
Originally this was just a trivial matter.
The Yan family was originally from a medical family, and she did not leave her profession after becoming an alchemist. She had solved many difficult and complicated diseases in the past few years. The patients she treated included both princes and nobles, as well as wealthy and elegant people. Now she has turned to treating ordinary people's diseases. There is no difficulty in catching a cold.
The problem lies with these rabbit monsters.
Jinxia City has indeed openly regarded demons as part of ordinary people. They can freely enter and exit the Secretariat without covering up any demonic characteristics. As the Qingjian of the Privy Council, having to work with monsters really challenges her bottom line. When she first heard about Xia Fan's arrangement, she even thought that this guy was deliberately humiliating her. If it weren't for her inability to fight head-on, she would have wanted to go to the Privy Council Palace to question him.
Unfortunately, alchemists rarely get sick.
Otherwise, there are a hundred ways for her to come back with silent revenge.
But as the time spent in the clinic continued to increase, Yanyue gradually discovered that the situation seemed a little different from what she thought - monsters in the Privy Council's description are cunning and sinister creatures, and they can never understand each other with humans. They can be weak, But it will never be kind or harmless. If a monster is found to exist in the secular world, the alchemist should eradicate it. But rabbit demons are completely the opposite of these descriptions: they are timid and innocent, and their obedience is much higher than that of ordinary people. It is easy to oppress or even enslave them. Not to mention Qingjian's orders, even the patient's rudeness can put these rabbit monsters in a dilemma.
She began to wonder if the Fengzhou Privy Council had missed any key information, or because she rarely participated in direct battles and was simply ignored by Kaiyang Envoy.
At the same time, Yanyue also realized how much convenience monsters can bring to the medical department - after all, monsters are born to sense Qi, and have unique advantages in using talismans and magic weapons. For example, in the past treatment methods, wherever the talisman was used, she had to do it herself. Now, she only needs to throw the talisman to the assistant, which makes large-scale treatment possible.
Don't underestimate the word scale.
Yanyue deeply understands that most diseases in the world are caused by poverty. Without money, you can't buy medicinal materials, and you can't afford a doctor, let alone a person who is sensitive to Qi, to diagnose you. Many minor ailments often turn into incurable serious illnesses later on, and the only option for the poor is to lie in bed and wait to die.
Expanding the scale means a reduction in medical expenses. An experienced doctor can treat multiple people at the same time. Assistants who have undergone simple training can not only share most of the work, but also continue to accumulate experience until they become the next doctor. This is a win-win or triple-win situation. After all, more people are being diagnosed, the doctor's income is also richer, and the reputation will naturally increase with the tide.
Coupled with the fact that the schools in Jinxia City are continuously cultivating Qi Sensers, this set of ideas may really become a reality.
But this is just her personal thought.
The Yan family now has a lot to take care of because of its close relationship with the royal family of Feng State, and the rulers of Qi State do not need to put a lot of energy into such trivial matters. For example, the Jinxia Affairs Bureau is willing to open a clinic to treat the people in the city. Such an act of great benevolence and great virtue would be a thankless task if it were to be expanded on a larger scale.
Thinking of this, Yanyue shifted his gaze back to the book.
Recently she has been studying the secrets of the school - there is no doubt that this is the key to letting Qian and others follow Xia Fan, and it is also the most valuable treasure for those who feel Qi in the world. It would definitely be a dereliction of duty on his part if he only left it in Xia Fan's hands. Jinxia only has one state, while the Qixing Privy Council controls the territory of the six countries. It is obvious who will promote it more efficiently. The most important thing is that if she can study this matter thoroughly, her merits will be enough to be promoted to three or four Hagoromo, and her family will definitely be able to get rid of the royal family turmoil and return to normalcy.
In the process, she was attracted by the "Treatise on Medicine" in her hand.
More than half of the three months were spent studying this book.
This is the first time Yanyue has seen such a systematic medical description - why people get sick, and how to check and judge; why medicine works, what are its specific ingredients; what parts the human body is divided into, how Qi flows through it, etc. … It doesn’t even mention a few prescriptions or cases. It’s basically all about exploring the principles. In addition, the author is Xia Fan herself. It’s not an exaggeration to say that it’s just talk on paper. However, the pioneering and enlightening nature of this book makes her feel like A whole new door opened.
She will never forget the first time she saw the Treatise on Medicine.
It only took her less than a quarter of an hour to go from being dismissive to goosebumps on her back. To be honest, the Yan family has also conducted detailed research on the human body, and even secretly dismantled unclaimed corpses. Yanyue knew the direction of bones and muscles, as well as the distribution of various organs.
But...that's it.
For the first time, she saw someone further subdivide the muscles, break out many gadgets that were difficult to see with the naked eye, and draw them in detail. Xia Fan named them cells, while the outside invaders were named bacteria and viruses. The two are engaged in an endless war in the body all year round. Once the cells fall behind, people will show symptoms.
This incredible explanation is equivalent to dividing the human body into countless parts, and most of the body's functions are completed by the cells themselves, without interference from consciousness. Sometimes, the cause of death is not the disease but the cells killing themselves.
