Chapter 65: The Sudden Earthquake
After a period of practicing medicine, Qin Feng’s medical skills gained recognition from the people, and his reputation soared in Jinyang City.
Patients with difficult and complicated illnesses that ordinary physicians couldn’t treat would come to him. Some people even queued up outside Bao Yi Tang Hall in the middle of the night, eager to get the chance to be diagnosed by him.
With a large number of patients seeking his treatment, Qin Feng accumulated enough Literature Qi to fill the third and fourth levels of the Divine Sea.
One morning, a long line formed outside Bao Yi Tang Hall like a dragon.
Seeing this scene, Qin Feng sighed. Because the number of people seeking consultations every day was too large, Bao Yi Tang Hall couldn’t accommodate them all. He had no choice but to set up a table by the street.
“Doctor Qin, my wife’s belly suddenly became so big overnight. Is she going into labor?” a man asked anxiously.
Qin Feng glanced at him and immediately wrote two prescriptions. “This prescription is for your wife. She has stomach bloating, which is causing her belly to swell. After taking the herbal soup, her digestive system will be regulated, and everything will return to normal. This prescription is for you. You might have caught a chill when you were young, which led to infertility. This prescription can help regulate your body.”
The man blushed upon hearing Qin Feng’s words. He left the payment and hurriedly took the prescriptions, leading his wife away with embarrassment.
“Doctor Qin, please help me. I don’t know what’s happening, but I suddenly developed many black spots on my upper body. Do I have a terminal illness?” another man asked nervously.
Qin Feng looked up and smirked, “When was the last time you took a bath?”
“Is this condition caused by not bathing?” the man asked, confused.
“The spots on your body are due to the fading of your clothes. Take a bath, and they will naturally disappear. Now, please step aside and don’t block the real patients,” Qin Feng said, dismissing the man.
“.The man, feeling embarrassed under the disdainful gazes of the crowd, quickly left the scene.
“Doctor Qin, I have a friend…”
Qin Feng raised an eyebrow and handed out a prescription, “Having kidney deficiency is not something to be ashamed of. If you haven’t been active in bed lately, follow this prescription to make herbal medicine. Take it three times a day. Remember to simmer it gently four times.”
The middle-aged man’s eyes widened in surprise. He pocketed the prescription after leaving the payment and hurried away, ignoring the teasing looks from the others.
The people seeking medical help were already accustomed to all of this. While other physicians might need to observe, smell, ask, and touch to diagnose a condition, Qin Feng, with his exceptional medical skills, only needed a glance to cure the illness. He had never misdiagnosed a single case since he started practicing medicine!
The queue of patients continued to advance, showing no signs of decreasing. Qin Feng had been speaking since the early morning and felt his throat getting dry.
At that moment, a pair of fair hands placed a cup of tea on the table. “Young master, feeling thirsty? I’ve brewed this tea for you. It’s already cooled down and ready to drink.”
Qin Feng glanced at the gentle-faced Lan Ningshuang and said, “Thank you.”
After taking a sip of the tea, Qin Feng felt his throat moisten. However, as soon as he placed the teacup back on the table, the entire Jinyang City trembled inexplicably, and the ground started shaking continuously!
At the same time, Bai Li, the old man at Listen To Rain Pavilion’s entrance, suddenly opened his eyes and looked northward.
Old Li, who had a lame leg, was still drinking. Suddenly, he crushed the wine glass in his hand.
On the Snakehead Cliff of Black Mist Forest, rocks tumbled down, and Aunt Mo’s daytime avatar turned its face toward the north.
Inside the Demon Slaying Department, Si Zheng felt the tremors of the earth, his heart pounding inexplicably and his brows furrowing.
In the Lord’s Mansion, Ye Heng’s eyes turned black. In the dim room, only a voice could be heard saying, “It has begun.”
The sense of tremor didn’t last too long, about the duration of ten breaths.
After everything returned to normal, the people present were still somewhat shaken. Qin Feng muttered to himself, “Could it be an earthquake?”
He didn’t pay much attention to it, instead looking at the crowd gathering behind the team. He sighed, wondering how long he would have to continue treating people.
Time passed quickly in the midst of busyness.
By the time the crowd dispersed, the sun had already set, and lanterns were lit in every household.
Qin Feng intended to stand up to massage his shoulders, but suddenly a fragrance wafted from behind him. Then, a pair of soft hands gently landed on his shoulders, massaging them gently.
“Young Master, you’ve worked hard,” Lan Ningshuang said softly.
“Mmm,” Qin Feng closed his eyes and began to enjoy the massage.
It was undoubtedly hard work, but it was all worth it. Through his efforts during this period, his medical skills had improved by leaps and bounds. The Literature Qi he accumulated through practical application also increased much faster than merely reading books.
The only downside was that due to the large number of patients he treated, many of the illnesses he encountered were repetitive. This led to him gaining less Literature Qi from each case. For example, today, the Literature Qi he accumulated barely filled one-tenth of the fifth level of his Divine Sea.
Of course, this was because the higher he climbed in the Divine Sea, the more Literature Qi was needed to fill each level.
Clip-clop-clop!
Horses galloped past, and pedestrians hurriedly made way, complaining voices rising here and there.
Qin Feng opened his eyes and saw two black steeds, ridden by two men dressed in wooden-colored robes, their faces filled with urgency. Their destination was surprisingly the Demon Slaying Department!
Qin Feng furrowed his brow. Those two black steeds were not ordinary.
They were Thousand-Mile Steeds, used only in emergencies by the Demon Slaying Department. Ordinary cities didn’t have access to such divine steeds.
Looking at their wooden-colored robes, with a ‘Demon Slaying’ character embroidered on the chest, it was clear they were members of the Demon Slaying Department.
The Demon Slaying Department had three types of tokens: Wood Token, Green Jade, and Red Lotus. In the Demon Slaying Department of Heavenly Cities, they also had corresponding demon-slaying robes with matching colors.
Considering these two points, these two men must have come from one of the thirty-two Heavenly Cities of The Great Qian!
“Young Master, it seems something has happened,” Lan Ningshuang furrowed her delicate brows slightly. She was born in the Liu family, so she was well-informed.
“Mmm,” Qin Feng nodded, not showing much concern. “Let’s go. It’s getting late, and I’m sure the Qin family has already had their dinner. Let’s just eat something casually at the Moonlit Pavilion.”
“Alright, Young Master.”
The two of them went to Moonlit Pavilion together. The Manager Peng greeted them warmly as they arrived.
“Young Master, where would you like to dine today?”
At that moment, a table of guests stood up on the first floor by the window.
Qin Feng wanted to experience the lively atmosphere of the first floor, so he walked straight over and sat down. “We’ll sit here.”
“Sure,” the Manager understood and quickly sent a waiter to clean up the table.
Once the hot pot was served and the meat and vegetables were ready, they began to eat. Lan Ningshuang even poured wine for Qin Feng during the meal.
The first floor of Moonlit Pavilion was mostly filled with commoners, creating a bustling and noisy atmosphere.
At this time, the conversation of three men at a nearby table caught Qin Feng’s attention.
“Do you know why Jinyang City kept trembling at noon today?”
