Little Sorcerer, Divine Doctor

"Eh, Yun Sheng, isn't that the Iron Testing Stone? What are you going to do with the Iron Testing Stone?" Gu Feng was also puzzled, Yun Sheng was supposed to treat someone, but instead of using her miraculous needling technique or magic, she brought over a stone.

"Just watch," Yun Sheng said confidently as she walked over to the farmer's side.

The farmer had struggled for a while, and was exhausted after being bound by the Water Magic Elements by Yun Sheng.

Yun Sheng, holding the Iron Testing Stone, walked over to the side of the farmer.

Her actions were peculiar as she brought the stone near the farmer's right ear, slowly moving it around a few times.

Her inexplicable behavior was met with disdain from those of the Medicine Emperor Pavilion.

"Do you think you're performing street tricks, curing the patient's ailment with a mere rock?" Qi Tian criticized from the side, showing utter contempt for Yun Sheng.

Despite the Medicine Emperor Pavilion's embarrassment today, as long as Yun Sheng couldn't identify the illness, it would be equivalent to empty talk.

Nevertheless, Yun Sheng continued unswervingly.

"Itchy..." The farmer, who had been in too much pain to speak, moved his lips, mumbling indistinctly.

"Uncle, what did you just say?" Upon hearing this, Yun Sheng's entire small face brightened, it seemed her guess was correct.

The farmer felt an itchy sensation in his ear, as if several ants were scrambling to crawl out.

Yun Sheng kept moving the Iron Testing Stone in her hand, and slowly, a metallic luster began to appear inside the farmer's ear.

"Tss-" There was a faint sound, and a few tiny objects appeared on the otherwise smooth black Iron Testing Stone.

On closer inspection.

"That is ..." This time, even Qi Tian was at a loss for words.

Attached to the black iron testing magnet were several metal needles the size of skin flakes, coated in a layer of white fluid, clearly the pus produced from the inflammation in the farmer's ear.

It appeared that Medicine Man Wang, during his careless needling treatment for the farmer's tinnitus, did not have enough strength in his hands, causing a small part of the iron needles used for practice to break off inside the farmer's ear.

Medicine Man Wang did not take the issue of the broken needles seriously, nor did he inform his Doctor afterward.

Unaware of the incident, the farmer thought his tinnitus had been cured and happily returned to his village.

Little did he know, the broken iron needles created inflammation under specific conditions inside his ear.

Over time, the inflammation needles also affected the nerves in his ear, with the infected nerves pressing directly against the farmer's brain nerves, which led to the farmer's unceasing and increasingly frequent "headaches."

The farmer had previously sought out local doctors and even turned to Four-direction Wanderer Doctor Cheng Sihai, but these ancient healers relied solely on pulse diagnosis and the patient's diet and medical history, never considering anything related to nerves or inflammation.

Earlier, Yun Sheng used Shennong's Eyes beside the farmer's ear.

Even though her Shennong's Eyes were currently at only the Second Level and not yet capable of Inner Vision into the human body, she could confirm that there was inflammation in the farmer's ear.

The farmer's inflammation was not severe by modern standards, a simple ear surgery could take care of it, but in ancient times, it was a troublesome matter.

If the broken needles were left in his ear, in the long term, the nerve endings in his ear could rot, potentially leading to deafness or even visual nerve compression.

These were, naturally, not things Yun Sheng could explain to the obstinate doctors of the Medicine Emperor Pavilion.

She thought it over, remembered the iron needles, and suddenly recalled the Iron Testing Stone she had once seen at the Blacksmith Shop.

The current conditions made it impossible for her to perform ear surgery directly, but as long as the broken needle was made of iron, she could use the Iron Testing Stone to extract it.

That's what led to the actions Yun Sheng took earlier that left everyone puzzled.

As soon as the broken needle was removed, the farmer stopped screaming.

The farmer's wife turned from worry to joy, repeatedly thanking Yun Sheng without cease.

Without even using a single needle, just by using a stone, the cause of the ailment was found. Such medical skill was almost too miraculous to believe.

The onlookers' opinion of Little Ci'en Hall changed instantly.

The public's eyes are sharp; they had seen not only Yun Sheng's courteous treatment of the farmer's wife but also the disdainful attitude of Medicine Emperor Pavilion.

Those who had come earlier for the free clinic at Medicine Emperor Pavilion were now muttering to themselves that tomorrow, they should turn to Little Ci'en Hall instead.

Look at Medicine Emperor Pavilion, supposedly the best medical institution on the continent, yet allowing an unqualified Medicine Man to treat patients with practice needles.

This irresponsible attitude was simply trifling with human lives.

The staff of Medicine Emperor Pavilion looked at each other; the broken needle had been found, and it was clearly Medicine Emperor Pavilion's special practice iron needle. Even if they didn't want to admit it, they had no choice now.

After a moment, the effects of the medicine on Cheng Sihai's face had slightly worn off, but his complexion grew worse.

He knew today's free clinic was a disaster.

It wasn't just a disaster; it had brought shame to the reputation of Yujing, and even to the Medicine Emperor Pavilion itself.

How was he to go back and explain this to Yao Rong, or even to Grandmaster Wen?

Cheng Sihai glared fiercely at Yun Sheng and then, with his tail between his legs, led the other Doctors and Medicine Men away amidst the sneering looks of the onlookers.

"Little Divine Doctor, we really can't thank you enough," the farmer and his wife were profusely grateful as they thanked Yun Sheng.

Yun Sheng then had Lin Yao'er give them a few packets of anti-inflammatory herbs.

After seeing the farmer couple off, a long-lost smile appeared on Yun Sheng's face.

She knew that today's free clinic had achieved an unexpected effect.

Gu Feng and the others were also excited; they all understood that this time, Medicine Emperor Pavilion had really taken a fall.

Tomorrow, they wouldn't have the face to show up for the free clinic again.

The name of Little Ci'en Hall would soon spread throughout Yujing.

"Tomorrow, we continue the free clinic," Yun Sheng decided, and tonight they would book a table at the finest restaurant in town for a proper feast.

After the few people from Little Ci'en Hall left joyfully, two figures emerged from a corner of the street.

These two, silent and unassuming, had been standing there for a long time, ever since Yun Sheng started to treat the farmer, yet astonishingly, no one around had noticed them.

"Si Ming, we've been monitoring these people all day. Are you sure that woman is the one who crafted the Moon God's Praise?" The speaker was a fair-faced Male Mage.

The Mage was young, and he was wearing a Magic Robe, emanating a strong Magic Power.

Upon closer inspection, one would notice the mark of the Magic Temple embroidered on his robe.

"It's her…" Xia Wenxu emerged from a corner of the street, gazing at the retreating figure of Yun Sheng with focused attention, a strange light flickering in his eyes.
