Why do I have so many masters?-Chapter 878 - 95 Medicine King Saving the World (6,800 words two-in-one)
Wang Anfeng paused outside the door of the clinic, feeling it was exactly to his liking. It was sizable but not overly so, with enough patients to fill the space but not so many that it was constantly busy, situated on one side of the avenue.
The foot traffic was considerable, so even if people did not enter, they would notice the presence of a wandering doctor offering free consultations, leaving an impression that could serve as evidence against others, especially to avoid the suspicion and scrutiny of the Famous Swords Organization.
If the clinic were too large or too remote and quiet, it might not have been ideal.
He had strolled along the way, passing many clinics, but none felt as suitable until he arrived here, finally stopping in his tracks. Having made up his mind, he took the initiative and stepped inside.
The roof of this clinic was both high and thick. Upon entering, Wang Anfeng felt the heat dissipate, replaced by a cool breeze mixed with a comforting medicinal aroma. A neatly dressed apprentice briskly approached him with a smile, inquiring:
"Honored guest, are you here for a consultation or to fetch medicine?"
Wang Anfeng withdrew his gaze and replied, "I suppose it's a consultation. May I know if the master of Reviving Spring Hall is available? I have a rather difficult request; I would like to see the doctor."
The apprentice wore a hesitant expression, hesitating momentarily before saying:
"Honored guest, did you previously schedule a visit time?"
Wang Anfeng shook his head, "No, I have not."
The young man immediately showed a look of apology, first folding his hands deeply in a bow before softly saying:
"It is quite unfortunate. Although my master has the heart to save the world, his energy is limited, and there are only 24 hours in a day. If everyone were to come, the elderly doctor would inevitably be exhausted. If you require a consultation, please schedule ahead, or... or the other doctors here are also very competent."
Wang Anfeng was taken aback, not expecting that after finally finding a suitable clinic, he would encounter such a rule, and said:
"Is there any way to make an exception...?"
The young apprentice, though polite and apologetic, firmly shook his head. Wang Anfeng, having no alternative, smiled and turned to leave without pressing the matter. Such matters needed to be discussed with the owner of the clinic, and the other doctors simply did not have the authority.
He didn't expect to leave without even meeting, despite 'coming with a plan,' and had to continue searching in the city. Considering the young man's firm demeanor, there might be more behind it. There were many clinics in the city, and it wouldn't hurt to put in more effort to find another one, even if it wasn't as ideal as Reviving Spring Hall.
With his mind turning, Wang Anfeng stepped outside, but before taking a few steps, rhythmic footsteps sounded behind him, accompanied by the rustle of a curtain.
Then, he heard the apprentice respectfully say:
"Teacher, you have returned?"
Wang Anfeng paused in his steps, instinctively turning around to see the side curtain being lifted, fluttering like a wave, before an elderly man emerged from the backyard.
The figure was tall, wearing a gray long robe. His hair was silver-gray, clearly showing his advanced age, yet he appeared quite energetic, with a rosy face and gentle eyes. If he didn't possess superior Inner Strength, then he was proficient in medical nurturing techniques, allowing his vitality to be well-preserved, unfazed by external threats.
Wang Anfeng, understanding the situation, guessed that this elder was likely the master of Reviving Spring Hall. With the thought of taking the chance, he stopped and didn't rush to leave, his gaze sweeping over the elder's face, feeling lightly surprised in his heart.
After entering, the elder first smiled and nodded, his gaze sweeping over the many doctors in the clinic. Some stood to salute, while the older ones put down what they were holding and nodded with a smile, clearly showing that this elder was held in high regard and respect by them.
The elder did not carry an air of superiority but returned each greeting, then noticed Wang Anfeng standing at the door. He detected no medicinal scent on him, which slightly puzzled him.
This Reviving Spring Hall had stored many herbs over the years, and if he had come for a consultation, the hem of his coat or sleeves would have inevitably absorbed the medicinal fragrance. This scent, albeit not bothersome, would take two or three hours to dissipate.
Engaged with herbs all his life, the elder was extremely sensitive to such aroma, immediately deducing that Wang Anfeng must have just entered. Assuming he hadn't found the needed herbs, the elder proactively spoke:
"Young man, why are you leaving so soon after entering?"
"Is it because you couldn't find the herbs you needed in Reviving Spring Hall? Please feel free to speak... Although my medical skills aren't exceptionally high, I've been in the city for a long time and know many doctors. I am generally aware of what herbs are available where, so I might be able to help."
Since it was an elder, Wang Anfeng turned and respectfully bowed.
Then he straightened up, but before he could speak, the young apprentice already interjected:
"Teacher, this gentleman is here to set an appointment and would like to ask you to make a house call."
Wang Anfeng thought, as expected, but didn't interrupt nor reproach the young man for saying too much, simply standing silently in place. freewebnøvel_com
The elder seemed to understand, lightly acknowledging, then heartily laughed and said:
"There's no time like the present. Since you're already here today, how about doing it right now? Could you tell me who is ill and what the general symptoms are so that I can prepare the Medicine Bag and treat accordingly."
"Name, fetch my Medicine Bag for the master."
The young man didn't move, his head hung low, saying:
"Teacher, you should rest more..."
