However, helping out at the clinic wasn't easy; it required memorizing the names and uses of various medicinal herbs. But Jianxin didn't find it troublesome at all; on the contrary, he was extremely interested in these things and eventually even developed the idea of becoming a doctor. So he took the initiative to ask Su Chen for advice.
Su Chen didn't refuse. He slowly taught Jianxin what he had learned. After all, as his master, he couldn't teach him cultivation now, but he could teach him medicine. As long as Jianxin became familiar with various medicinal herbs, he might even become Alchemist in the future.
Alchemist are a very good profession; they can do well anywhere and never have to worry about money. Su Chen also hopes to teach Jianxin some other abilities so that Jianxin can live a carefree life even when he is no longer by his side.
Jianxin was very studious, reading books about medicinal herbs almost every day. In just one week, he memorized all the herbs and their uses. After that, Su Chen taught Jianxin how to refine pills. It seems that he really wanted to train Jianxin to become Alchemist.
There's really no other way. Jianxin can't cultivate right now, and Lin Fan doesn't know when he'll be back. So, it's better to use the time waiting for Lin Fan to let Jianxin learn more.
These days, the clinic has slowly started to get business, mostly with poor people. The big clinics are just too expensive; a simple infected wound can cost hundreds or even thousands of divine crystals for medicine. Can you afford that?
Therefore, many poor people dare not go to the clinic even when they are sick. Until a middle-aged man was so sick that his life was in danger, but he had no money to go to a big clinic. He had already resigned himself to his fate, but when he saw the clinic opened by Su Chen, his strong will to live made him reluctantly go in.
The middle-aged man had prepared himself to be driven away, but things didn't go as he expected. Su Chen cured his illness in no time. Most importantly, Su Chen was willing to help him even though he only had a few divine crystals on him.
This is simply a living Bodhisattva!
This story quickly spread to the ears of some people who couldn't afford medical treatment. At first, they didn't believe it, after all, which clinic wasn't unscrupulous? However, some people still decided to give it a try and went into Su Chen's clinic. In the end, they came to the conclusion that it was all true, and there really was a conscientious clinic in the city!
Moreover, this conscientious clinic can cure any illness; they're practically miracle workers!
From then on, Clear Heart Hall (the name of the clinic opened by Su Chen ) gained widespread fame, and more and more people came to the Clear Heart Hall for treatment. With more people, more strange people were encountered.
Some people thought Su Chen was a great philanthropist, so they wanted to get treatment without paying. Of course, Su Chen kicked them out. His clinic was indeed cheap, but he didn't do business at a loss.
During this period, Su Chen was extremely busy. The clinic was crowded with people early in the morning, which was not the result Su Chen wanted. So he set a rule that he would only see ten people a day, and he would not treat anyone after ten.
This rule immediately sparked discontent among the crowd. After all, what kind of clinic only sees ten people a day? Su Chen didn't care whether they were satisfied or not; he would stop seeing patients after seeing ten, regardless of who they were or what their status was!
Helpless, everyone had no choice but to queue up early every day. Some hardcore people even started queuing at dawn. There was no other way. In the entire city, Clear Heart Hall was the only clinic that offered cheap medical care and had the best medical skills.
If you go to another clinic, not only will you be overcharged, but you may also not get better. Therefore, many people would rather queue up early to come to the Clear Heart Hall than go to other clinics.
A year passed quickly. At dawn, a woman walked into the city. She wore soft armor, and the bandages and scabbed wounds that were faintly visible beneath the armor intertwined with her cold and beautiful face to create a breathtaking beauty, like a blood-red rose blooming on the battlefield, possessing both Human Heart beauty and awe-inspiring sharpness.
The woman's appearance caused everyone on the street to stop in their tracks, their eyes filled with amazement. Some men, in particular, stared at her intently, unable to look away, until she swept her cold gaze over them. They trembled, sensing a hint of murderous intent, and quickly lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at her.
The woman was expressionless, looking around as if searching for something. After a moment, she spread her Divine Sense, enveloping the entire city, and finally locked onto the Clear Heart Hall. Then, she took steady steps and walked towards the Clear Heart Hall.
The woman quickly arrived at the entrance of the Clear Heart Hall. Although the main Clear Heart Hall was wide open, no one went inside, even though the hall was already crowded with people.
The woman looked slightly surprised. After a brief moment of thought, she walked straight into the Clear Heart Hall. However, at that moment, ten people stopped her. One of the men, a burly man, said, "Miss, although you don't look like an ordinary person, you can't cut in line. We've been queuing for two days now to get to where we are."
"Yes, if you want to see a doctor, then go and queue up, just don't cut in line," another woman added.
The woman frowned, her expression icy, and said, "Get out of the way."
As she finished speaking, a chilling aura emanated from her, causing the ten men to retreat in fear, staring at her with terrified expressions. "What do you want to do?"
The woman ignored them and walked past them toward the Clear Heart Hall.
At this moment, the woman gritted her teeth and shouted, " Doctor Chen, someone is cutting in line!"
The woman paused, her gaze turning cold as she looked at the older woman.
The woman felt her legs go weak and she collapsed to the ground, her body trembling. The oppressive feeling emanating from the woman was simply too strong.
"What's going on?" At this moment, a voice came from inside the house, and Su Chen slowly walked out of the house.
Upon seeing this, the woman immediately complained to Su Chen, saying aggrievedly, " Doctor Chen, we've been queuing for two whole days to get this job, and this woman just tries to cut in line! I just want to ask, why?!"
Su Chen frowned, looked at the woman, and calmly said, "If you want me to see you, then you'd better go and line up properly. If you can't, then leave. I won't see you."
"I'll give you ten thousand divine crystals," the woman said calmly.
"Holy crap, she just casually throws out 10,000 divine crystals, which family's young lady is this?" These words immediately caused an uproar in the room, and everyone was so shocked that they couldn't close their mouths.
With one hand behind his back and an expressionless face, Su Chen said, "Even if you offer me a million divine crystals, I'd still have to wait in line."
