Why Are You So Rough with the Divine Physicians?

He Shou Wu stepped forward from the side and said:

We now have many more roots, but we don't know if these roots will be of any use.

Wanwan! How about we try on these whiskers too?

Zhou Wanwan nodded and said, "Okay, let's both give it a try."

Zhou Wanwan cut off many of the roots from Grandpa He Shou Wu.

I also cut off a lot of the roots of the Sister Huang Jing, and there was a thick layer of spore powder on the Brother Lingzhi.

Reishi mushrooms spread and reproduce through these spores.

Zhou Wanwan looked at the spore powder on his body and said, "You have quite a lot of spore powder. This spore powder will only be effective if it lands on rotten wood, right?"

The Old Ancestor beside them said, "Why don't we try putting these spore powder on ourselves? We have spiritual power, maybe we can survive."

Zhou Wanwan nodded and sprayed some spore powder on the Old Ancestor and the Old Scholar Tree.

To my surprise, after spraying just a little spore powder, I saw fine, white mycelium grow from it.

The Old Ancestor said, "If that works, then we can grow lots and lots of Ganoderma lucidum in the future."

Zhou Wanwan couldn't even imagine what it would be like if her family brought out a lot of Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng.

However, even with all the spiritual energy she channeled, she could only accelerate the growth of the ginseng to about two or three years, and the lingzhi mushrooms also took about two or three years to grow.

After that, it has to grow on its own, but it grows much faster than ordinary medicinal herbs.

However, many of the common medicinal herbs, after being ripened overnight, were actually ready to be harvested.

Zhou Wanwan looked at the mugwort, honeysuckle, mint, perilla, goji berries, astragalus, ophiopogon japonicus, polygonatum odoratum, agastache rugosa, angelica dahurica, platycodon grandiflorus, isatis indigotica, dandelion, motherwort, scutellaria baicalensis, saposhnikovia divaricata, lily bulb, schizonepeta tenuifolia, and prunella vulgaris in the field, all of which were ready to be harvested.

She stretched and said:

"Send all these medicinal herbs to the pharmacies, and each of our pharmacies must be staffed with a resident doctor."

"Bring down the prices of all medicinal herbs so that ordinary people can afford medical treatment and medicine."

As soon as she finished speaking, someone in charge went to carry it out.

There are quite a few people in the border area who need medical care. They went into Tong Ren Tang, asked about the prices, and were shocked.

"What? Just a common medicine costs one tael of silver? That's too expensive!"

The shop assistants scoffed, "If you think it's too expensive, then don't buy it! In this situation, it's good enough to be able to buy medicine at all, why are you being so picky?"

Everyone's face was filled with despair.

Suddenly someone said, "I'll go to the Hundred Grasses Hall; Hundred Grasses Hall medicine is especially cheap."

The waiter sneered:

"What Hundred Grasses Hall? I've never even heard of it."

They're just using fake medicine to fool you ignorant people, and you actually believe it? It's laughable.

Those who heard that Hundred Grasses Hall's medicines were cheap all rushed into the Hundred Grasses Hall.

Sure enough, a long queue had already formed outside the Hundred Grasses Hall.

The shop assistant at the Hundred Grasses Hall looked at them and said, "Don't rush, everyone. Come one at a time. The doctor inside is seeing patients, and it will be your turn soon."

The doctor was quite fast; he saw twenty or thirty people in no time.

These doctors didn't actually work that quickly. There were a dozen or so trees outside, and they used their roots to reach into the trees and examine the patients.

These trees were examined faster and with greater precision than those examined by doctors in their clinics.

Sometimes, toxins in the body can be directly eliminated; they just need a little processing.

The people outside were asking, "How long were you inside? How did your treatment go?"

The man said:

"I only went in for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, and it cost me 20 coins to finish my treatment."

I don't know what the doctor thought, but I just felt drowsy. I'll feel better when I wake up.

"20 coins? What illness do you have?"

"I have a fracture, and the clinic next door is asking me for two taels of silver. Where am I supposed to get two taels of silver?"

I scraped together all 20 coins, but I never expected it would actually cure my leg. Look at my leg.

Everyone gathered around, some even touching the leg and asking, "Wow! Is your leg really better?"

The man jumped up and said, "There's absolutely no problem. I don't even know how I managed to diagnose it."

The medicine here is indeed cheap; it costs one or two taels of silver next door, but only a few dozen coins here.

If it's a doctor's visit, the consultation fee will only be ten coins at most, which is such a good deal!

The clinic's staff were exhausted. "Where are all these people coming from here? There must be hundreds every day!"

The old doctor next to him sighed and said:

"Medical care is too expensive at the border; how can ordinary people afford it?"

Now that they've heard our prices are cheap, they naturally came here."

Even the most difficult-to-treat illnesses can be cured at the Hundred Grasses Hall, and its reputation spread quickly.

The pharmacy across the street is doing very poor business; it hardly sees a single customer all day.

The shopkeeper was extremely worried. "Have all these people gone mad? Do they really believe that a few dozen coins can cure a disease?"

The waiter next to him said:

"Shopkeeper, you know what, their prices are really cheap."

Several people from our village have gone to see a doctor; some only cost a few coins.

The shopkeeper scoffed, "A few coins? How do they make a living?"

The shop assistant shook his head and said, "I don't know about that. I only know that their medicinal herbs are cheap, and their medical skills are exceptional."

As evening fell, the doctors at the Hundred Grasses Hall were preparing to leave work.

Just as they reached the door, several masked men blocked their path. "We've heard your medical skills are excellent, so come with us!"

The doctors looked at each other in bewilderment, while the masked men led them directly onto the carriage.

As they traveled south, a doctor looked outside and said, "Could it be that they're inviting us to the Great Qi?"

Another doctor said, "Is there any doubt? They're definitely sending us to Great Qi. The plague is rampant Great Qi, and many people have died."

Those outside just kept on their way and didn't say a word.

After about half an hour, they arrived at the Great Qi army camp, and several doctors were pulled off the carriage.

A general walked over and said:

Why are you being so rude to the miracle doctor?

These are soldiers, they don't know their own strength, don't take them to heart!

The doctors from the Hundred Grasses Hall looked at them and said, "Are you here to treat our illnesses?"

The general nodded and said, "Yes, medical treatment. If you cure our general, you will be richly rewarded."

The doctors at the Hundred Grasses Hall exchanged glances. What did they care about rewards?

No matter how much you admire, you won't live to enjoy it.

They were ushered directly into the military camp, where they saw the general lying on his bed, coughing incessantly.

The doctors at the Hundred Grasses Hall were terrified. This was the plague! Asking them to take the patients' pulses was tantamount to killing them.

But the soldiers shouted, "Hurry up and get up there! What are you dawdling for?"
