Since she had come to the Jade Capital and this was also the hometown of her father, Yun Canghai, Yun Sheng planned to settle down first.
However, if she wanted to settle down first, she would need to obtain a doctor's certificate.
However, this doctor in front of her almost starved her to death. This kind of person was definitely unreliable.
Furthermore, a certificate required five silver coins? This was too much of a scam.
Yun Sheng didn't say anything else and turned to leave.
"Hey, young lady, don't go. How about I give you a discount? Four and a half silver coins?" The lean man saw that the meal ticket that he had painstakingly delivered to his door flew away and became anxious. "This is considered the lowest price in the entire city. If you go to other medical centers, you won't even be able to enter."
Yun Sheng stopped in her tracks.
The Jade Capital was under the feet of the Emperor, and every inch of land was worth its weight in gold. Those who could open medical centers in the city weren't ordinary people, and the price of treatment was even more imaginable.
Yun Sheng's clothes were tattered, and the money she had on her was mostly spent because of Yun Canghai's coma. She could still take out five silver coins, but if it was other medical centers, she would probably be immediately chased out of the door.
"Don't doubt me. I dare to guarantee with my qualifications as Doctor Ling that once you step out of this door, there won't be such a shop anymore." Afraid that Yun Sheng wouldn't believe him, the man took out a token and handed it to Yun Sheng.
That token was similar to the 'imperial physician' token that Yun Sheng had seen in Taishang Town. However, it wasn't golden in color. Instead, it was made of purple iron and had a bell engraved on it.
Doctor Ling referred to those who had obtained the primary certification of the Medicine Emperor Pavilion and had the qualifications to practice medicine and refine medicine. They were doctors who could practice medicine in a town and help the world.
The ranks of doctors in the Boundless Continent: Herb Gathering Boy, Medicine Man, Medicine Master, Doctor Ling, Doctor Ling, Doctor Ling, Doctor Ling, Doctor Ling.
This doctor in front of her was actually a famous doctor?
"Four and a half silver coins is still too expensive." Yun Sheng frowned and bargained.
"It's not expensive. What if I tell you that for four and a half silver coins, not only can I issue a certificate, I can also help you keep your unconscious relative alive without using any medicine?" As soon as the man's voice fell, Yun Sheng suddenly turned around and looked at him with a guarded expression.
"How did you know that I have a family member who is unconscious and needs to be kept alive with ginseng medicine?" Yun Sheng was a cautious person. Moreover, she had been ridiculed by the General's Mansion. After entering the medical center, she did not mention a word about her father's condition.
"I can smell at least three or four different kinds of herbs on your body, all of which are precious herbs. But you're dressed simply. You don't come from a wealthy family. Since that's the case, you must have a family member who is seriously ill and unconscious. That's why you have no choice but to use precious herbs to save your life. Am I right? " The man's face was full of confidence. With his nose, he could distinguish the different smells of various herbs even in the Imperial Palace's medicine storehouse.
"Four and a half silver coins, deal. But you have to tell me first. What method can replace herbs? " Yun Sheng had just arrived in the Jade Capital. If she wanted to settle down and rent a house, she would definitely need to spend a lot of money. She was already out of money and had to think of a way to earn money quickly.
"Water element magic formation, Cloud Dream Ice Slumber." After the man finished speaking, a magic scepter the size of a chopstick appeared in his hand as he chanted.
A blue magic formation flowed with blue clouds and mist. The clouds and mist were incomparably cold and instantly froze a table and chair at the side.
A person who was in the state of Cloud Dream Ice Slumber would have all of their bodily functions reduced to the lowest level. Correspondingly, the loss of life would also be reduced to the lowest level. It was equivalent to one percent of the time when they were unconscious. As such, they would naturally be rid of their dependence on herbs.
"You're also a magician? Then how did you become one? "What made Yun Sheng even more astonished was that this Ling Doctor was actually a magician.
Since he was both a healer and a magician, how did he end up in such dire straits that he almost starved to death in his own medical center?
"Hehe, it's precisely because I'm both a magician and a healer that I ended up in such a state. Ancient medicine and magic apothecaries have been incompatible all these years. People like me can't stand on either side. There's no time to lose. I'll go with you to the city gate to take a look. "The man revealed a helpless expression.
He found his medicine box and walked towards the city gate with Yun Sheng.
When Yun Sheng returned, it was already close to dusk. Xiao Hei was still waiting beside the carriage.
"It's you again, Doctor Fan!" The city guards were clearly very familiar with this man. In fact, most of the commoners who needed to obtain a certificate to enter the Jade Capital were issued by Doctor Fan because of the price. Thus, the city guards recognized him at a glance.
"Little girl, be careful. This person isn't honest and has even killed someone before. He's known as the Ghost Doctor. If you're looking for a certificate from him, don't let him treat you." A kind city guard reminded Yun Sheng.
Doctor Fan acted as if he didn't hear anything. He pulled open the curtain of the carriage and looked inside.
Although he guessed that Yun Sheng had an unconscious relative, he didn't know what illness the other party had. Before he could issue a certificate, he had to look at the condition first.
After looking inside, Doctor Fan frowned.
"What's wrong? Is it an epidemic? "A city guard at the side asked.
"No, let him in." Doctor Fan looked at Yun Sheng thoughtfully. He took out a certificate that he had written long ago and signed it before handing it to the city guard.
Once he received the certificate, the city guard let Yun Sheng and the carriage enter the city.
As dusk approached, the ground was covered in the afterglow of the setting sun. Yun Sheng held onto the reins of the horse and stood on the street with Xiao Hei, looking very lonely.
"Little girl, find a place to stay first. If you want to cast Dreamcloud Ice Sleep for your father, you have to give me five silver coins. But let me tell you, one Dreamcloud Ice Sleep can only last for half a month." Doctor Fan was very calculative. He had already calculated that Yun Sheng didn't know water magic. If she wanted to find someone to cast Dreamcloud Ice Sleep, she could only look for him.
"I have nowhere to go. The inns in the city are very expensive. We can't afford to stay there." Yun Sheng looked at the Jade Capital in the dusk and frowned.
The capital was bustling, but in the bustling crowd, everyone's face was cold.
Only she could protect her father.
"Behind my medical center, there are two empty rooms, but the rent is ten silver coins a month." Doctor Fan could see that Yun Sheng didn't have much money, but he wasn't a good person. He wouldn't do something that would cost him money.
"I owe you a total of twenty silver coins. I can be a herbalist in the medical center and use my salary to pay for the rent and the cost of Dreamcloud Ice Sleep," Yun Sheng immediately said. Although the city guard didn't have a high evaluation of Doctor Fan, a doctor who could guess her father's condition just by seeing him once was definitely not as useless as the rumors said.
"A herbalist's salary is only five silver coins at most." Doctor Fan shook his head.
"In your medical center, do you have fresh hemostatic flowers, moon crow fruit, or withered butterfly vines? As long as I have these three herbs, I will definitely be able to raise the remaining fifteen silver coins before the end of this month. "Although Yun Sheng was young, her words had a natural deterrent force. Doctor Fan couldn't help but believe her words.
"Okay, one month. If you can't raise the money in one month, don't blame me for kicking you, your father, and your dog out of the door." Doctor Fan nodded and led Yun Sheng to the medical center.
