The moment the farmer woman said that, the faces of the few people from the Medicine Emperor Pavilion changed. Especially the few medicine men, their faces turned pale.
Earlier on, Qi Tian and Cheng Sihai had performed acupuncture one after another. Within the Medicine Emperor Pavilion, according to the rank of the doctor, the amount of needles that could be used was also different.
Yun Sheng had already heard about this from Doctor Fan when she went to take the examination of the Medicine Emperor Pavilion earlier on.
In the Medicine Emperor Pavilion, one could only start from the rank of doctor and the needles used were silver needles. After that, it would be gold needles like Cheng Sihai's. After that, the royal doctors would use the precious purple gold needles.
Therefore, needles were a symbol of status in the Medicine Emperor Pavilion.
Although the farmer woman didn't recognize needles, she was certain that Doctor Wang, who performed acupuncture on her husband that day, didn't use silver or gold needles.
The changes in the expressions of the few medicine men were all seen by Yun Sheng.
"This medicine man, can you take out the practice needles that you usually use and let me take a look at them?" Yun Sheng stared at one of the medicine men.
That medicine man bit his lips. His eyes were flustered as he looked at Qi Tian and Cheng Sihai.
"Needles are the most precious medical tools for a doctor. I can't just casually lend them to others." He rejected right away. However, Yun Sheng smiled indifferently. With a wave of her hand, she suddenly grabbed the waist of that medicine man.
By the time the medicine man reacted, the needle bag that he had hidden on his waist had already been snatched away.
"Men, this person actually dares to openly snatch something from the Medicine Emperor Pavilion. Take her down." When Qi Tian saw this, he immediately ordered a few people by the side to go up and snatch back the needle bag.
However, how could such a motley crew be a match for Yun Sheng?
Yun Sheng's body swayed and she nimbly dodged. With a shake of her hand, a row of practice needles appeared in front of everyone.
She asked the farmer woman, "Sister-in-law, take a closer look. When Doctor Wang performed acupuncture on Uncle previously, did he use this kind of needle?"
The woman leaned forward to take a look and said with certainty, "It's this kind of needle."
"Then the truth has already been revealed. To think that the grand Medicine Emperor Pavilion didn't even have a single physician during the volunteer medical consultation. Instead, they had herbmen who didn't even have the qualifications to impersonate physicians to perform acupuncture!" Herbmen didn't have the qualifications to practice medicine. This was something that even the commoners knew.
The row of iron needles in Yun Sheng's hands were custom-made by the Medicine Emperor Pavilion. They were meant to be used as practice dummies.
Everyone in the Medicine Emperor Pavilion knew about this.
For most of the Boundless Continent's doctors, it was a long and arduous process from the herb-gathering boy's identification, gathering, and dispensing of herbs to the herbalists.
With the exception of a few exceptionally talented doctors, most people started picking herbs at the age of six. They would only become herbalists at the age of fifteen or sixteen.
After becoming a herbalist, one would need to go through five to six years of painstaking cultivation, practice medicine with a physician, and obtain the physician's recommendation before one could participate in the physician qualification examination.
Of course, people like Yun Sheng, who had a solid foundation in medicine in her previous life and obtained the special recognition of the Imperial Physician because of her craniotomy, were an exception.
The Imperial Physician had the qualifications to directly promote doctors.
However, others weren't so lucky.
That so-called Physician Wang of the Medicine Emperor Pavilion was actually an experienced herbalist.
A year ago, during a volunteer medical consultation, because the arranged physician was lazy and slacking, that herbalist surnamed Wang recklessly performed acupuncture on a farmer who came to the volunteer medical consultation.
At that time, there were also a few herbalists from the Medicine Emperor Pavilion present. However, everyone thought that it was just a few needles and wasn't of much importance.
No one would associate those needles with the strange illness of the farmer in front of them.
Yun Sheng's words were like a sudden clap of thunder, causing the surrounding crowd to explode.
The panic of the few herbalists fell into the eyes of the crowd.
The Medicine Emperor Pavilion, as the role model of all medical practitioners, actually allowed a herbalist who didn't have the qualifications to perform acupuncture. This was truly a huge scandal in the ancient medical world.
Facing the farmer who was bleeding from his ear and the farmer woman who was wiping her tears by the side, no one from the Medicine Emperor Pavilion dared to stand out.
Cheng Sihai wanted to jump out and accuse Yun Sheng of slander, but he was currently tormented by the Muscle Softening Powder. His face was still paralyzed and he couldn't say a single word.
Qi Tian's face was scarlet red as he glared fiercely at the herbalist whose needle bag was snatched away.
"These are all fabricated by you alone. Besides, no one can guarantee that this farmer woman is speaking the truth. The Medicine Emperor Pavilion conducts volunteer medical consultation four times a year and we have never heard of anyone contracting a strange illness because of acupuncture. Who can guarantee that this farmer woman and farmer didn't take your money to frame our Medicine Emperor Pavilion? "He was also very cunning. In any case, that herbalist with the surname Wang wasn't present and that farmer woman couldn't really do anything to the Medicine Emperor Pavilion. As long as he refused to admit it, who would believe the words of Little Ci Entang and his group?
"Unrepentant." Yun Sheng was also infuriated by the Medicine Emperor Pavilion's careless style.
It was undeniable that the Medicine Emperor Pavilion's medical skills were definitely top-notch. They also represented the pinnacle of the ancient medical skills in the continent.
However, the Medicine Emperor Pavilion had been operating for hundreds of years and had already become a huge medical giant. Their internal management was too lax.
It was precisely because of Qi Tian, Cheng Sihai, and that herbalist that they spoiled a pot of porridge.
As a medical practitioner, Yun Sheng couldn't stand medical practitioners who treated human lives like weeds.
She knitted her brows and looked at the farmer again.
Qi Tian's acupuncture earlier caused the farmer's blood to rush to his head. It was impossible to directly perform acupuncture.
"Sister-in-law, please wait for a moment."
Yun Sheng didn't perform acupuncture. She only let Gufeng and the rest take care of that farmer first.
She turned around and walked towards a street behind her.
When the spectators by the side saw that an unknown physician actually dared to challenge the Medicine Emperor Pavilion, they also had the mentality of watching a good show and stayed behind to watch the show.
Even Cheng Sihai stayed behind. He wanted to see what method Yun Sheng would use to save that farmer.
At least on the surface, that farmer didn't seem to have any problems.
The location of the free clinic was originally the most prosperous street in the Jade Capital. After Yun Sheng left, she returned in less than fifteen minutes.
There was a pitch-black stone in her hand.
This kind of stone was unfamiliar to the majority of the commoners and medical practitioners.
However, Gufeng recognized that stone with a glance. There was a blacksmith shop next to his house and there were similar stones piled up in the corner of the shop.
On the Boundless Continent, other than some specialized large clans, ordinary villages didn't have specialized metal smelting grounds.
If blacksmiths wanted to use pig iron, they would directly purchase pig iron ores and smelt them.
In order to differentiate between ordinary iron ores and other metal ores, blacksmiths would throw a few pieces of testing iron ores in the shop.
The testing iron ores could absorb iron ores and its function was similar to the magnets of the modern era.
Yun Sheng was born in Banana Leaf Village and had interacted with the blacksmiths in the village since she was young. She was very clear about the usage of testing iron ores.
