Journey to the West: Cultivation Begins at Jindou Mountain

Chapter 443 I only envy mandarin ducks but not immortals

As dusk fell, the free clinic continued at Baohetang.

Today, however, the number of people queuing in Baohe Hall is not as large as before, with only a few scattered people remaining. This shows how many people in the city Xu Xian has treated these days. Of course, this is also inseparable from Niu Yi's help.

At this moment, Niu Yi was writing a prescription on a piece of white paper with his head down, but several images suddenly flashed through his eyes in an instant.

Niu Yi paused slightly with his brush, then turned to look at Xiao Qing thoughtfully, leaving her completely bewildered.

Niu Yi smiled but didn't say anything. Instead, he continued writing, finishing the prescription in his hand, but didn't hand it directly to the old man in front of him.

"Old man, please take this. Please try to eat well during this time. Your body is still too weak. If you continue to overwork, even these medicines will not be able to cure this stubborn illness."

As Niu Yi spoke, he took out some loose silver from his pocket, discreetly wrapped it in the prescription, and handed it to the old man.

The old man, with disheveled white hair, a thin body, and dark skin, sighed softly, took the prescription, and then took the medicinal herbs from Xiao Qing's hands. He then knelt down and kowtowed to Niu Yi opposite him.

"Thank you, Dr. Niu. I know I don't have long to live, but I still have children at home to support, so I need to live a little longer. I can never repay your and Dr. Xu's kindness."

Niu Yi sighed inwardly, got up and went to the old man, helped him up, and channeled a wisp of spiritual energy into his body through his palm.

“Old man, please get up quickly. It is the duty of a doctor to help people and save lives. I cannot accept such a great gift.”

The old man's eyes were glistening with tears, and his hand trembled as he grasped Niu Yi's hand. He looked into Niu Yi's bright and sincere eyes and nodded heavily.

"If there were more doctors like you and Dr. Xu in this world, how wonderful that would be!"

Xu Xian, who was watching this scene from the side, nodded with a smile. He admired the young and promising Doctor Niu and felt a great deal of joy in his heart.

Of course, for Xu Xian, it was also more about recognizing the same beliefs held by Doctor Niu.

Xiaoqing, standing to the side, blinked as she watched this scene, a ripple stirring within her. The old man's words and emotions, as well as Niu Yi's demeanor, all touched her inexplicably.

These people are really quite strange.
However, my sister told me to keep an eye on this Daoist Guangyi. Now it seems that this little Taoist priest isn't so bad after all.

As soon as the old man left Baohetang with the medicine, Niu Yi and Xu Xian finished examining the remaining patients.

Xu Xian looked at the now empty Baohe Hall, his face full of joy.

"That's great. Today must be the first time since we started our free clinic that no one has come to seek medical treatment even before we closed. Dr. Niu, thank you so much for these past few days."

Niu Yi smiled and cupped his hands in greeting:
"Not at all, Dr. Xu, you're too kind. I've benefited greatly from your guidance this time, learning a lot of medical skills from you."

Xiaoqing, however, couldn't help but shake her head vigorously like a rattle.

That guy surnamed Niu! He lies without thinking! Just like those snakes, these people love to lie. I saw his medical skills clearly; they're obviously far superior to Xu Xian's!

She even said she benefited greatly from it, and Xu Xian, too, couldn't stand that smug and embarrassed smile!

Bai Suzhen watched this scene with a gentle smile.

Originally, she came to repay a debt of gratitude, but now she has truly fallen in love with Xu Xian, sharing his joy and sorrow. Niu Yi sees all of this clearly, and Xu Xian's unwavering trust in Bai Suzhen, believing everything his wife says, stems from their mutual affection and genuine love.

This rare genuine affection in the world even made him secretly nod in agreement.

As for Xiaoqing, this little green snake, at five hundred years old, she is still too young. She is still very ignorant about human emotions and doesn't understand many things in the human world.

Nowadays, Xiaoqing is more like a child. Although she is innocent by nature, she still needs guidance, otherwise she may easily make some irreversible mistakes and go astray. Isn't Bai Suzhen the same?

This snake demon, despite her great cultivation, will likely remain far from becoming an immortal if she doesn't undergo this tribulation and learn about human affairs.
The four people in Baohetang were chatting and laughing. This free clinic at Baohetang could be considered a great success. Not only had they treated the poor people in the city, but they had also gained a great reputation and established themselves firmly in Suzhou.

Just then, there was a knock on the door of Baohetang.

"Bang bang~"

"Excuse me, is Dr. Niu from Yulin Hall here?"

The four looked over at the sound and saw a somewhat arrogant man standing outside the door, holding a letter in his hand and staring straight at Niu Yi, clearly there for Niu Yi's sake.

Niu Yi glanced at the man and said calmly:
"You must be from the Three Sovereigns Ancestral Masters Association. Leave the invitation outside the door, and you can go back to report to your master. I will personally go to the Ancestral Masters Association tomorrow."

"you!"

The man was both surprised and angry. He was surprised that the man knew he came from the Ancestral Masters Association, and angry that this kid, who looked to be no more than twenty years old, dared to speak to him like that!

In an instant, the words he had prepared in his mind were completely disrupted by Niu Yi, and his face turned red so much that he didn't know what to say.

After a long while, the man calmed down and looked at Niu Yi with a sinister expression:
"Dr. Niu, we sincerely invite you, but you'd better come early tomorrow! Otherwise... humph!"

The man slammed the envelope into the Baohe Hall, snorted heavily, and left without looking back, flicking his sleeves.

Xu Xian looked at Niu Yi with some concern.

"Dr. Niu, have you encountered some trouble? You're new to Suzhou and may not know, but the Three Emperors Ancestral Masters Association is full of doctors from Suzhou, and their reputation isn't very good."

"Please rest assured, Doctor Xu, one of my purposes in coming to Suzhou is to attend the so-called Three Sovereigns Ancestral Masters Gathering."

Seeing that Niu Yi seemed confident, Xu Xian felt much more at ease, but he still cupped his hands and solemnly said:

"Doctor Niu, although I, Xu Xian, am a newcomer to Suzhou, I am extremely fortunate to have met you! If you encounter any difficulties, please be sure to tell me! I, Xu Xian, will do my best to help you!"

"Alright, alright, please rest assured, Dr. Xu."

That night, as soon as the man met the leader, he embellished his story and recounted what had happened at Baohe Hall during the day.

The leader immediately snorted coldly and muttered:
"Hmph, it really is a bit strange."

Let me see what kind of skills you, a little kid, can have!
