Chapter 371.2

Qingxing Hall (2)

Whether it is an alchemist or an ordinary doctor, before learning medicine and pill refining, one must first learn medical ethics.

Without medical ethics, how can one study medicine?

Therefore, although Qin Tianshu’s pill refining technique is almost unrivaled, his reputation among his peers is actually not good.

In stark contrast to this is Jia Chan, the hall master of Qingxing Hall in Yunjian Pavilion.

Jia Chan has been studying medicine since she was eight years old. When she started studying medicine, she traveled to Dongzhou to see doctors everywhere. Her pursuit is to cure everything.

This point is similar to the famous ancient Chinese doctors in the present world. All the medical masters who have left their names in history all started from being ordinary doctors.

They treated a large number of patients and experienced many difficult and miscellaneous diseases.

Only then were they able to perfect their own medical skills and create their own medical school.

It can be said that Qin Tianshu and Jia Chan are two types of doctors with completely different styles. The former is similar to an imperial doctor, even though they have excellent medical skills, they lack knowledge and are doomed to limited growth due to being stuck in the imperial castle; the latter are true medical scientists, having experienced a lot, from the common sicknesses to the rare and hard to treat ones.

Qin Tianshu’s current medical skills and pill refining skills are still higher than Jia Chan’s, but in time, Jia Chan will surely be able to surpass all those who came before her. And judging from Jia Chan’s current progress rate, this time does not seem to be too long.

However, Qin Tianshu has no self-knowledge about this. He believes that the improvement of medical skills and pill refining depends on the accumulation of talent and experience. Jia Chan is too young compared to him, even if she has talent, she can’t easily match Qin Tianshu’s hundreds of years of accumulation.

No one knows if Qin Tianshu really thinks so, or if he actually has some fear of Jia Chan in his heart.

Because as long as there is a chance, Qin Tianshu will belittle Jia Chan, disparaging Jia Chan’s medical skills and pill refining skills to nothing.

Some people just laughed it off, but more people believed it.

Therefore, in Beizhou, Qingxing Hall’s business is not that good, and Jia Chan’s reputation is far less than that of Qin Tianshu.

But what Qin Tianshu didn’t expect was that on the third day after he built the alchemy pavilion in Qingyan City, a loft that also sold pills suddenly appeared opposite. He looked over carefully, and suddenly found that the plaque on it said “Qingxing Hall” in big characters.

Qin Tianshu was shocked and angry, and that afternoon he led a group of people into the Qingxing Hall, demanding that the other party close the shop immediately and get out of Qingyan City.

But just after Qin Tianshu uttered his harsh words, three people walked slowly from the inner hall.

Qin Tianshu knew that one of them was Jia Chan whom he had always looked down upon.

The other two were also women, but he couldn’t recognize them for a while.

Among them was a girl who was wearing a water-green shirt and looked no more than seventeen or eighteen years old.

Based on their positions, she was obviously the highest rank among the three.

At her waist, there is also a blue long sword hanging, faintly revealing the fluctuation of spiritual power.

Under Qin Tianshu’s suspicious gaze, the girl asked Qin Tianshu with a smile on her face, “What’s the matter? Qingxing Hall simply opened a shop here, is there a problem?”

Qin Tianshu said contemptuously, “Of course, there is a problem! Qingxing Hall is just a third-rate medical clinic in a remote place. Treating people is purely seeking money and killing people! Look at your disregard for human life! If you are sensible, get out of Qingyan City quickly, or I will make you unable to eat and walk around!”

The girl pretended to be surprised and asked, “So you are so powerful? I don’t know what your name is, old man?”

Qin Tianshu was so angry that he blew his beard and stared.

Old man? He is the number one pill refiner in Beizhou, yet this little girl is so rude to him? How could a little girl be so unruly!

Qin Tianshu shouted angrily, “I don’t change my name when I’m going, and I don’t change my surname when I’m sitting down, I am Qin Tianshu! You should have heard of this name and know what it stands for!”

The girl suddenly nodded, “So you are Qin Tianshu! I’ve heard of it before.”

Qin Tianshu felt proud, and was about to speak, but the girl continued, “I heard that Qin Tianshu is arrogant, greedy, indifferent, and has bad medical ethics. Hey, old man, since you are Qin Tianshu, then can you tell me, is this rumor true or not?”

Qin Tianshu was so angry that his face flushed red. He scolded angrily, “You, little girl, are so rude! Where’s your lord? Call your lord out, I insist on talking to your lord, and I will let him discipline you!”

The girl shrugged her shoulders and said helplessly, “If you want to see my parents, I’m afraid you won’t have a chance. But if you don’t know my grandson, you can meet him. He is four years old this year, so cute!”

Having said that, a look of remembrance appeared on the girl’s face, and at the same time, she unconsciously burst into a smile.

Qin Tianshu looked at the girl in astonishment.

Grandson? This little girl looks seventeen or eighteen years old, but she already has a grandson? Although cultivators are good at keeping their appearances young, he has never heard of such an outrageous one!

But immediately, Qin Tianshu remembered a well-known cultivator, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He kept murmuring in his heart, “Impossible! Absolutely impossible! That person should be in Dongzhou, how did she come to this place?”

But taking a look at Jia Chan behind the girl, who was clearly following the girl’s lead, Qin Tianshu felt that this guess was not impossible.

So he asked cautiously, “May I ask the girl’s name?”

Arrogant at first and respectful at the end, his slow thought finally figured it out.

Afterward, he saw the girl lightly part her vermilion lips, and said with a smile, “Xiaoyao Hall, Xiao Ruoyao.”
