Achieving a Great Victory, Becoming a Hall Physician, Yao Yin's Aid, Advancing Again to Jade Citizen
Li Xian ordered the sick child to lie face down on the bed, back facing upwards. Hundreds of bones protruded in strange and grotesque shapes, making his back rugged and bulging, resembling a monster, which was quite frightening and made one's scalp tingle. This sick child was thin and anemic, and if his back were to be opened and his bones shaved, his life would be in danger.
The slightest carelessness could lead to the murder of a person in full view of the public!
Li Xian remained calm. "This Disordered Bone Disease is complex and difficult to cure in a short time. Although I inherited the Ghost Doctor's skills, I have not yet Proficiency completely. If I were to choose four other strange diseases, I could easily cure them. Even if there were some trickery involved in this medical competition, I would definitely win by a large margin. But—wouldn't that be a disgrace to my medical skills? If I were to avoid the difficult cases for the sake of winning and gaining fame, wouldn't I lose face? Therefore—I will treat the diseases that others refuse to treat. And although this disease is difficult, I am not necessarily incapable of resolving it."
He held a sword in one hand and a needle in the other. He circled the sick child several times, observing the injury and the bone structure with his eyes. He then used his medical skills to devise a treatment plan. Before long, he had a good idea. He heated the needle until it was red-hot and placed it on the sword. The sword was tilted downwards, and the red needle rolled down the blade until it reached the tip, where it was gently pressed against the tip.
Li Xian pointed his sword at his back and gently stabbed, inserting the silver needle attached to the tip of his sword into his spine.
Using a sword as a finger, he inserted needles into the bone. This move drew cheers and shouts of delight from the crowd. Jin Wanquan glanced at him sideways, indignantly saying, "Is this just a show-off, using medical practice as an excuse to demonstrate martial arts?"
Yao Yin looked on with admiration, then shook her head and said, "No, no. This person's Swordsmanship surpasses even his acupuncture skills. Bone-Growth Disorder the bones to grow erratically, resulting in misaligned acupuncture points and meridians on the back, making acupuncture extremely difficult. Forcing acupuncture would cause the bone to jam the needle, making it even harder to insert it correctly. Therefore, he has taken a different approach, using swordsmanship for Swordsmanship, confident that using a sword instead of his hands gives him greater assurance. This not only demonstrates his extraordinary medical skills but also his remarkable swordsmanship!"
Upon hearing this, Jin Wanquan felt even more indignant. Seeing Yao Yin's eyes sparkling with admiration, his jealousy intensified. He thought to himself, "This kid is just lucky to have such a pretty face. Everything is done his way. If we're talking about real talent and ability, how can he possibly compete with me!"
Tie Yuanwang, He Jin, Liu San, and others all looked over. Liu San, who was experienced, said, "So that's how the acupuncture is performed. First, the blood flow to the back is blocked. Could he be planning to open the back and scrape the bone? This kid is very bold, but I don't know if he can handle it."
Li Xian applied forty-nine needles to lock the child's Blood Qi, then brewed a decoction and fed it to the child. The child, drowsy, slowly fell asleep. Li Xian, confident and composed, slashed open the child's back with his long sword.
Bone-Growth Disorder – a condition where the skin is wrapped around the bones, flesh is wrapped around the bones, and tendons are wrapped around the bones. Due to the disordered bone structure, the back is no longer normal. While open surgery and bone scraping can temporarily alleviate the symptoms, the patient must be strong and healthy enough to endure this painful ordeal.
Those watching from the sidelines were all secretly sweating bullets.
Jin Wanquan and the others were all startled, thinking that Li Xian was about to take lives so lightly. But then they Li Xian exhale white mist, his Pure Astral-Qi Garment tightly wrapped around the sword, making the white mist linger. He then Intent Infusion, adding to the sword's sharpness Sword-Ray.
The "Grand Self" mastery of the Waning Sun Blood-Draining Sword makes the sword as easy to wield as an arm. Speaking of which, Li Xian is exceptionally talented. Whatever he is good at, with time and practice, he will always develop his own style and demeanor.
When he shoots arrows, his Intent-Qi soars to the heavens, a sight rarely seen elsewhere. Now, as he heals and draws his sword, he displays an even more remarkable figure, possessing a unique charm that is undeniably captivating. Among the onlookers are many ladies from prominent families and wives of wealthy merchants, all of whom stare in awe, feeling as if the world is spinning, unable to look away.
The longsword pierced through flesh with unwavering precision, slicing through tangled bones and extracting the bone tissue in a single, fluid motion.
Li Xian handled the gruesome scene of healing with ease and grace, making it both charming and pleasing to the eye. He even used the "Waning Sun Blood-Draining Sword" technique, where the sword contained scorching sunlight. As the sword blade sliced through the wound, it burned it into a scab, preventing the blood from flowing erratically.
He moved with incredible speed. One by one, he placed the bone fragments into the wooden basin. The bone fragments were strangely shaped, some like beads, some like thorns, some like squares, and some like stones. With such a body of bones, he looked like a freak, and one could imagine the miserable scene.
Three hundred strange bone fragments were removed in a short time, and the onlookers let out long gasps. The sick child's back was a bloody mess, but it was now smooth and he looked human again. Moreover, because Li Xian had applied acupuncture beforehand to slow down the blood flow, and because his Swordsmanship was superb, his pure energy had removed the impurities.
This ensured that the sick child's Blood Qi were not damaged and his life was not in danger, although he was temporarily unable to get up.
The wound was extremely small. After wiping away the traces of blood, it appeared as if there was no injury at all, requiring no further treatment. Li Xian fetched some herbs and bandaged the wound on his back.
Although the illness is complex and difficult to cure quickly, Li Xian's treatment has been ingenious, greatly alleviating the condition. In the next few days, as long as Li Xian continues to treat the illness and gradually eliminate the root cause, the strange disease will be completely cured.
Li Xian thought to himself, "If I were to learn the secret technique of the Yama Needle, I wonder if a gentle prick could cure this disease." He looked at Tie Yuanwang, He Jin, Liu San, Jin Wanquan, and the others, who were all trying their best to cure the patients.
The five were evenly matched; whoever recovered first would win decisively. Li Xian had done all he could, and regardless of the outcome, he found a chair, sat down casually, and quietly drank tea. Yao Baishun nodded secretly, quite pleased, knowing in his heart that Li Xian had already won by several points.
In terms of medical skills, demeanor, character, and conduct, he has far surpassed his predecessor.
It turned out that these five patients were carefully selected by Yao Baishun. He was very familiar with the medical skills of the Hall Physician and knew that five people would stand out.
Five patients, four easy and one difficult. Yao Baishun thought to himself, "A doctor's heart needs to be tested by self-interest to be truly proven. If these five people avoid this child in order to achieve a great victory, it would be a disgrace to my Miraculous Healers Pavilion. If someone dares to actively choose this child, even if they lose this competition, I will support them in the future."
Seeing that Tie Yuanwang, He Jin, and Jin Wanquan all kept their distance, Liu San hesitated but ultimately avoided them. Only Li Xian volunteered. Li Xian's technique was exquisite, combining medicine and martial arts, and greatly alleviated the Bone-Growth Disorder.
He was quite pleased with himself, yet couldn't help but sigh, "This young man has lofty ambitions and higher aspirations, therefore he doesn't care about these petty squabbles."
Suddenly, a commotion broke out.
Suddenly, Jin Wanquan's patient shuddered, vomited blood, and his condition worsened. Jin Wanquan turned pale and collapsed to the ground, utterly powerless. His eagerness to win had only exacerbated his illness.
Yao Baishun slowly shook his head, sighed softly, and said to Yao Yin, "Those who possess great talent at a young age are often arrogant and conceited. Jin Wanquan is indeed talented, but his temperament needs further tempering."
Yao Yin knew these words were Yao Baishun's way of reprimanding her, and she secretly remembered them. Suddenly, she asked, "What about him? Isn't he younger and more talented?" Yao Baishun remained silent, only thinking to himself, "I wonder how many life-and-death experiences he's gone through to be so calm and composed. Just now, in the diagnosis and treatment, his diagnostic skills were almost on par with Renowned Physician. He could have easily gotten all forty-five points. But even so, he's already far ahead of the other four, which is why I'm being so nitpicky and finding fault. I'm extremely ashamed; even this old doctor only managed to find five 'bone's faults."
Yao Yin asked in a low voice, "If he loses because of this, won't he be angry with you?" Yao Baishun laughed and said, "What does it matter if he's angry with me? Wouldn't it be better if you went to help him in his time of need?" Yao Yin immediately understood and thought to herself that her elders were far more insightful than she was.
At this moment, Liu San sighed deeply, walked towards Li Xian, cupped his hands in congratulations, and admitted defeat. Although he had extensive experience, his medical skills were somewhat mediocre. In the end, he was unable to cure the patient completely, and he knew that he had lost to Li Xian, accepting the defeat wholeheartedly.
Li Xian offered tea and said, "Please sit down, Elder Liu." He was neither humble nor arrogant, neither proud nor impatient.
The two sat to the side observing. Tie Yuanwang and He Jin were covered in sweat, striving for a full recovery. However, while curing ancient ailments was not difficult, achieving an immediate cure required profound expertise.
The two worked tirelessly for half a day, and the illness was greatly alleviated. However, it was still difficult to cure completely. If they were to use strong medicine to force the treatment, it would surely end up like Jin Wanquan. In the end, they looked at each other, sighed deeply, and decided not to force it any further.
Yao Baishun tallied the scores, making the winner clear at a glance. The onlookers chimed in, "Heroes have always emerged from among the young. This young man's medical skills are superb, and his demeanor is exceptional. I see the potential in him to be a great physician." "But that's not all. Just now, he brandished his sword to treat the illness, resembling a young general. Perhaps his medical skills are remarkable, but his martial arts are even more impressive."
"This handsome doctor is truly exceptional in both looks and talent; Jade City True Person." "Hey, in my opinion, his time as a doctor won't last long. He'll soon be bought by some wealthy man and become his concubine." "Yes, he seems to be just Common Citizen; such a status is ultimately too lowly. Even if his medical skills are good, without the fortuitous opportunity, I'm afraid things won't go well for him—"
Yao Baishun announced loudly, "As you all witness, Li Xian, who sought medical treatment, won first place in the competition. His medical skills are evident to all and are absolutely genuine. Therefore, from this day forward, he will be transferred from Registered Physician to Hall Physician."
Yao Baishun said, "Nizi, you should know about the Miraculous Healers Pavilion. Take Little Doctor Li Xian to get some new clothes!"
Yao Yin was taken aback, then immediately said, "Okay!"
The crowd at the Miraculous Healers Pavilion dispersed, and the news spread. Li Xian's reputation as a physician was beginning to take shape in Tongji Ward and Renhua Ward.
Yao Yin was tall and slender, her hands behind her back, holding her sword horizontally. Her steps were light and quick, her hair swaying, and the ornaments in her hair shimmered. She was very familiar with the Miraculous Healers Pavilion. By this time, the crowd had dispersed, and she could only hear the sound of two people's footsteps. She felt a strange sensation in her heart.
Li Xian said proactively, "Thank you for lending me your sword, young lady."
Yao Yin said, "It's nothing. I noticed your Swordsmanship is quite good. What Swordsmanship did you use? Your skill seems quite profound." Li Xian laughed and said, "Just some miscellaneous Swordsmanship. I had no other martial arts to practice, so I focused on one Swordsmanship. I can't compare to the scions of your clans. I'm afraid I'll make Miss Yao laugh at me."
Yao Yin turned around and said, "Strange, how did you know I'm from a prominent clan?" Li Xian laughed and said, "I seem to recall Master Yao mentioning it just now. The Yao Family is a large and influential clan in Jade City. If I didn't know that, I'd truly be a blockhead."
Yao Yin asked curiously, "I heard you come from the Deathwish Valley. Did you really win three hundred matches?" She blinked, turned around, and looked Li Xian up close, observing his eyebrows, eyes, lips, nose, skin, hair, and demeanor. She suddenly thought, "Up close, this boy really seems to be without any flaws." Suddenly, her cheeks flushed, and she took half a step back, secretly trying to hide her embarrassment.
Li Xian said, "That's absolutely true. I was just lucky and didn't die in the valley."
Yao Yin said, "Just judging from this, you're quite extraordinary. Alright, stay close. If you get lost, I won't look for you." She quickened her pace and used her lightness skill.
The two turned down a long corridor, where the crowd thinned out. Ahead stood a house, billowing thick medicinal steam. This was where medicine was being prepared. Passing by, they saw young apprentices and servants busily brewing the medicine, their brows slick with sweat, clearly exhausted. Li Xian, recalling the medical contest, felt a pang of unease. "I originally thought this medical competition was rigged, and victory would be difficult. Unexpectedly, after all the twists and turns, I still won. I've only been here a short time, yet I've already been promoted from Registered Physician to Hall Physician; I wonder how many people envy and resent me. I must be careful in the future."
Li Xian's gaze wandered, then suddenly fell upon Yao Yin's fair legs. She wasn't wearing embroidered silk Silk Cocoon Socks today, her fair skin exposed. As a woman of the martial world, she had long practiced martial arts; her legs naturally possessed a taut quality, the muscles taut as she walked, giving her a unique charm. His gaze then fell upon her white boots tightly encasing her feet. Remembering their chance encounter at the inn, he couldn't help but ponder, "This woman is healthy; her foot sweating isn't really an illness."
It's a congenital symptom, resembling a human appearance, with uneven limb lengths, short stature, and varying hair thickness. No treatment is needed, but if one truly wishes to alleviate it, my Ghost-Vein Four Absolutes techniques can do so. If I help her heal, perhaps I can gain some benefit? Given my lowly position, I should make the most of everything."
He pondered silently, then thought, "Forget it. If I bring it up, I'll just be accused of flirting. I won't get any benefits; I'll just get a scolding first."
Yao Yin suddenly stopped, her sword sheath thrusting backward, aiming for Li Xian's liver and lungs. Li Xian composed himself, dodging to the side, and asked, "Miss Yao, why...?"
Yao Yin blushed deeply, unable to contain herself any longer, and snapped, "How dare you ask! I thought you were a decent person, but now it seems you're just a lecherous scoundrel." She was extremely embarrassed.
It turned out that Yao Yin had noticed Li Xian's gaze. She was both ashamed and angry, and initially too embarrassed to point it out, thinking that she would wait for Li Xian to look away on her own and pretend that nothing had happened. But after a while, Li Xian stared straight ahead, becoming increasingly brazen, staring directly at her feet, which made it impossible for Yao Yin to tolerate any longer. She felt like she was being pricked by needles, extremely ashamed and anxious. Therefore, she launched a sudden attack.
Li Xian immediately understood. Observing Yao Yin's expression and actions, he thought to himself, "Although this person is ashamed, he is not truly angry. Otherwise, his sword would already be drawn, ready to strike. Since that's the case, I don't need to rush to explain." He then smiled easily and said, "I acknowledge your upright character. It's just that this label of 'lecher' has suddenly been pinned on me, which truly makes me feel wronged."
Yao Yin retorted angrily, "You dare to argue? Your eyes are impure; I caught you red-handed. You still want to deny it?"
Li Xian retorted, "How is it impure?" Yao Yin replied shyly, "You just looked at my feet, and besides being a lecher, you also..."
"Who else would be as rude as you?" Li Xian retorted, "I wonder if Miss Yao usually enjoys appreciating flowers?"
Yao Yin was taken aback and asked, "What do you mean? There's a flower garden in Tongji Ward, built by my Yao and Su families. It has countless famous flowers, and I sometimes go there to admire them when I have free time. What does this have to do with you?"
Li Xian asked, "When Miss Yao is admiring flowers, if she comes across one that catches her eye, will she stop to admire it?" Yao Yin looked up and said, "Of course, even if I were to compose a poem praising a flower, what difference would it make?"
Li Xian laughed and said, "That Miss Yao is quite the lecher."
Yao Yin was taken aback, then glared angrily, thinking, "You scoundrel! You got a good look and now you dare to turn around and slander me!" Just as she was about to get angry, she suddenly realized that the real meaning behind the words was that they were praising her beauty, which had captivated her, and that she had momentarily forgotten to look away.
After this exchange, his anger subsided, and he was secretly delighted. He opened his mouth and cursed, "Well, you smooth talker! You Common Citizen, it's one thing if your eyes aren't pure, but you dare to make suggestive remarks! I'll go tell Uncle Shun to give you a major demerit, and see what you do then."
He took two steps closer, grabbed Li Xian's arm, and made as if to pull her away.
Li Xian feigned retreat, saying, "Alright, alright, it's my fault, it's my fault. I beg Miss Yao to have mercy and spare the life of this Common Citizen." Yao Yin raised her head proudly and asked, "So, will you change your mind or not?"
Li Xian, with his eyes closed, said, "I'll change it immediately. Now that my eyes are closed, I can't see anything. Please lead the way, Miss Yao."
Yao Yin was both amused and exasperated, with a hint of helplessness. She lightly kicked Li Xian and scolded, "What are you pretending for? Who told you to close your eyes? But if you dare to look again, I'll poke your eyes out!" She then quickly walked ahead.
Li Xian opened his eyes and followed, his flirtatious words and teasing of women displaying his exceptional talent. Yao Yin, recalling their earlier conversation, found Li Xian amusing and feigned a fierce tone, saying, "Why aren't you saying anything? Are you secretly holding a grudge against me, waiting for an opportunity to retaliate?!"
Li Xian knew that although Yao Yin had the arrogance of a scion of the Aristocratic Clan, she was actually quite easygoing, so he made a few harmless jokes. These jokes made Yao Yin very happy, and she laughed melodiously, finding it very amusing. The two chatted and laughed as they walked together, getting along quite well.
The Hall Physician wore a green robe, which was more pleasing to the eye. The physician's hat was made of jade. As Common Citizen, Li Xian's clothing and accessories should be simple and plain, and he could not wear gold or jade. Therefore, although he wore a green robe, he wore a wooden physician's hat with his Registered Physician. Yao Yin was well aware of the rules of the medical hall and told Li Xian about the Hall Physician's salary, vacation benefits, and so on.
Hall Physician's base salary is one tael of silver. For each day of practice, he earns seventy-five coins. Treating forty patients daily earns him an additional thirty-five coins. At the end of the month, a ranking is given, and those ranked higher receive a bonus from the Yao Family. With good fortune, one could make a small fortune. Yao Yin said, "You are quite capable, and your vision must be high. You probably won't be interested in this small amount of silver anytime soon."
"But let me tell you, one tael of silver in Jade City is worth ten taels of silver outside. The outside world is turbulent, so you need to hold onto your wealth. Jade City is stable and prosperous; these few taels of silver will be enough for you to live a carefree life for a while."
The Hall Physician is equipped with a set of "silver needles," "Yao Medical Treatise," "Jade City Medical Formulas," and "Hundred Herbal Records." The silver needles are made of special minerals. They are gentle on the body and can help in practicing medicine. Hall Physician has developed some medical skills, he can study medical classics on his own and improve his medical skills.
The fourth floor of the Miraculous Healers Pavilion houses medical classics from various regions. They can be read based on money, qualifications, or status. Li Xian glanced through "Yao Medical Treatise" and found that although the medical principles were basic, there was much to study.
The Ghost Doctor Su Fuyou once said that the Ghost Doctor Lineage is a unique lineage passed down through generations, producing divine doctors. Although he is proud that his lineage's medical skills are unparalleled in the world, he dares not underestimate the medical skills of the world. He must keep up with the times, study various classics, and integrate them into his practice.

Li Xian was a self-taught physician without prior instruction. Although Heaven Rewards Diligence and exceptional talent are rewarded by Heaven, and he is remarkably intelligent in medicine, the "experience passed down from predecessors" is ultimately irreplaceable. Without this foundation, every step he takes will be fraught with difficulty.
Only by studying medical classics extensively can one make up for this deficiency.
The medical texts recorded on the third floor of the Miraculous Healers Pavilion contain a great deal of information related to martial arts. Among them is the "Four Needles of Rejuvenation," which is both medical and martial arts in nature, and contains the evolution of martial arts.
It possesses the "Worry-Relieving Divine Hand," capable of striking pressure points to subdue enemies and curing diseases to save lives.
Moreover, Jade City is a wealthy city that often attracts heroes from all over the world. Martial artists who are injured or ill will also come here to seek medical treatment. The injuries of martial artists are even more peculiar. For example, if one is hit by Ice-Cold Palm, the chill in one's body is hard to dispel, and every night one will be pierced by cold thorns all over one's body.
Such an illness requires unusual treatment methods. One must first understand the details of the injury, the basic principles of martial arts, and the cause of the illness.
After a patient is cured, the story is often recorded in medical texts. Over time, this has accumulated over generations, and these medical texts actually contain many essential points about martial arts.
Although one cannot learn martial arts from it, one can understand the power and ability of many martial arts, and broaden one's knowledge and experience.
Li Xian took on the role of "Hall Physician," and he would inevitably visit this place frequently in the future.
Now, Li Xian had finished preparing everything for his "Hall Physician" appointment. It was still early, and since noon was the last day of the month, he decided to go back to his room to practice martial arts. But then he saw Yao Yin following him and couldn't help but ask, "Strange, Miss Yao, are you coming back to my room with me?"
Yao Yin was taken aback, then felt a little embarrassed and annoyed. It turned out that although she grew up in Jade City and had a prejudice against Common Citizen, she had heard Yao Baishun's evaluation and knew that Li Xian came from "Deathwish Valley" and guessed that Li Xian was quite capable and strong. However, she had become Common Citizen, which made her curious.
Since Yao Yin had nothing to do at the moment, and felt neither ill will towards Li Xian nor any ill will towards him, and even found him quite interesting and handsome, she felt an inexplicable affinity the Unseen him, so she followed him around.
She thought to herself, "I was just taking a casual stroll, but now that you've asked, wouldn't it make me look pathetic if I didn't come to your house for a visit, like I'd been turned away?" She proudly crossed her arms and said, "You Common Citizen, you must have misunderstood something. This Wonderful Physician Hall is my Yao Family's territory. It's not me following you; it's you who's been loitering around in front of me."
Li Xian said, "That makes sense, I was the one who offended you!" He hurried towards the common quarters, pushed open the door, and entered. Yao Yin also entered through the door, asking curiously, "You live here?"
Li Xian poured a glass of water and brought it over, saying, "As you can see, stay here."
Yao Yin took the teacup, took a small sip, and sat on the wooden stool. She crossed her legs, raised her left leg, and looked around with her beautiful eyes. She noticed that although the house was narrow, it was clean and tidy. There was a wooden spear in the corner. She asked, "You're skilled with a spear?"
Li Xian said, "I know a little bit." He then said, "Miss Yao, is there anything you need? If not, please return first."
Yao Yin slammed her hand on the table with a bang and exclaimed, "How dare you! Are you trying to kick me out?!"
Li Xian laughed and said, "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding. It's just that we're alone together, a man and a woman. You, a noble lady of the Yao Clan, are sharing a room with me. It doesn't matter if I can't clear my name as a lecher, but I'm afraid it will tarnish Miss Yao's reputation." His gaze wandered playfully.
Yao Yin snorted and said, "You poor hut, next time you call me, I won't even bother to answer." She picked up her sword and walked outside.
Yu Guang secretly observed that Li Xian was smiling and respectfully seeing her off, clearly wanting to send her away so he could be alone in a room to practice martial arts and spear. Yao Yin felt resentful. She had always been respected and flattered, with everyone else being extremely respectful. Although Li Xian was also respectful, he always had a carefree and nonchalant attitude, which was very different from others.
Yao Yin thought to herself, "Uncle Yao is shrewd. He once hinted to me that this person is worth cultivating. The fact that he asked me to accompany him on this trip means he intends for me to take him under my wing. If I leave like this, and then come back to find him next time, wouldn't I be expected to fawn over him? Let me think of a way to get rid of this nasty attitude of yours."
She deliberately spoke loudly, "But alas—some people will probably have to work diligently for thirty years before they can become Jade Citizen. Otherwise, they'll slink away from Jade City, utterly miserable. Well, I do have a solution, but alas, it's better to keep it to myself."
Just as she was about to step out of the courtyard, she suddenly felt a tight grip on her wrist, and a force pulled her back into the house, slamming the door shut behind her.
Yao Yin had rarely had physical contact with men since childhood. Perhaps because she saw that Li Xian was handsome and had an extraordinary demeanor, she was not angry at all. Instead, she looked quite smug and waited for Li Xian to speak.
Li Xian, with his thick skin, laughed and said, "Good girl, don't be in such a hurry to leave. I'm quite good at cooking, would you like to try some before you go?"
