Chapter: 1343 (1/2)

AST 1343 – Shui Clan, Imperial Cuisine Hall’s Status

When Qing Shui found Soulsearch, the latter had actually not gone to look at Li Ji. Earlier, Soulsearch had only used that as an excuse to leave Qing Shui to have a chat with Yuan Su. Seeing Qing Shui, Soulsearch smiled and said, “Brother, you’re really blessed with good fortune in love.”

“Alright, Elder Brother, I need to discuss something with you. Can you teach your pulse taking technique to her?” Qing Shui smiled and said.

“Of course. Brother, right now, your mastery of it is much stronger than mine. As long as you wish for it, you can teach it to anyone,” Soulsearch quickly said. It wasn’t as if his great technique had a rule of not passing it to females or any other restrictions like that.

“Come, let us go in. In the future, the Imperial Cuisine Hall has one more new addition.” Qing Shui smiled and indicated for Soulsearch to enter with him. Li Ji was no longer there and was resting quietly in that small manor. After all, this place was too lively.

When Yuan Su saw Qing Shui and Soulsearch walking in, she quickly stood up.

“Elder Brother, she is Yuan Su, a friend of mine from the past. You should be clear of her medical skills and things like that. If you’re agreeable, she’ll be officially a member of our Imperial Cuisine Hall.”

“Welcome. Of course I have no objections. I’m more than happy,” Soulsearch said happily.

“Thank you, Miraculous Physician Soulsearch!” Yuan Su smiled and said.

“Don’t go about calling me Miraculous Physician, it’s jarring to the ears. Right now, you’re also a member of the Imperial Cuisine Hall. Moreover, you’re friends with Brother. If you don’t mind, you can call me Elder Brother as well,” Soulsearch waved his hand and said.

“Elder Brother!” Yuan Su didn’t stand on ceremony.

“Alright, alright, come, let’s all take a seat. It’s a happy day today. With Lass Yuan joining in, the Imperial Cuisine Hall’s abilities has increased quite a bit.”

…

The next day, Li Ji came as well. Her figure was now more rounded but if one didn’t pay close attention, one wouldn’t be able to tell that she was pregnant. When she saw Yuan Su, she was very happy. The two ladies appeared to get along very well.

Qing Shui also started to teach her the Meridians Knocking Soul Pulling technique, as well as a few sets of medical techniques which he had taught Soulsearch. However, Qing Shui got her to place her focus on medicinal herbs. Acupuncture was only a supportive measure.

Yuan Su had an inborn talent in the area of medicinal herbs. As long as she could assess the illness, she could even create her own alchemy recipes. However, the only downside was that she was slow. Therefore, Qing Shui got her to pick up some acupuncture techniques. If there were any problems, she could just apply some simple acupuncture and there would be no need to write any alchemy recipes.

There was free medical consultation today.

Earlier, Qing Shui had said that all three of them would have to take part in the providing of free medical consultation. However, it wasn’t just the three of them. Yao Qubing, the guy from Yao Clan, was also around as well. Yao Qubing was actually quite happy that Qing Shui had also brought him along for it.

During this period of time, although Qing Shui had gotten him to deal with miscellaneous work, he was often given opportunities to provide medical treatment. He realized that he had learned a lot and now knew of Qing Shui’s kind intentions. Qing Shui was trying to train him. After having gone through this period of time, he also realized how arrogant he was before.

In terms of medical skills, the two here both surpassed him. Even the beautiful lady who had just joined was also stronger than him. He had always felt that amongst the younger generation, there was no one who could surpass him in terms of medical skills. But now, he realized how ignorant he was and he felt very embarrassed about it.

Right now, he felt that his life was more fulfilling. In Yao Clan, he was a son born by a concubine and thus wasn’t highly regarded. Although that young man called Qing Shui was very young, he wasn’t a simple character. One day, Qing Shui would definitely soar up. Therefore, Yao Qubing felt that it would be quite good if he himself could become a physician in the Imperial Cuisine Hall.

After having thought through this, Yao Qubing’s mind was more calm and he passionately did the work he was supposed to do. He had undergone a tremendous change compared to how he was when he first came.

For this free medical consultation, Qing Shui continued to observe Yuan Su as he provided consultation. Regardless the patient, Yuan Su would wear a faint smile and appeared to be very skilled. Although she still didn’t know how to use the Meridians Knocking Soul Pulling technique, she was skilled in looking.

Chinese medicine emphasized on look, smell, question and to feel. Yuan Su could be said to have brought the ‘look’ and ‘question’ aspects to a great level of mastery, being able to have a rough estimation of the ailment just by looking. She would then be mostly clear after asking the patients about their reactions and condition.

Qing Shui would occasionally nod his head. As long as she could tell what the ailment was, this lady would be able to prescribe the proper prescription. This was why Qing Shui had wanted her to learn the Meridians Knocking Soul Pulling technique. As long as she could learn that, she would basically be considered a top notch physician.

Of course, when compared with Qing Shui who had the Force of Rebirth, miraculous acupuncture skills, Qi of the Ancient Strengthening Technique and the Life and Death Needles, she was still a far cry. The ancient legacy had made Qing Shui to be as if he was given some kind of cheat skills.

“Make way, our Young Master is dying.”

“Scram off, what are you looking at…”

“How dare you guys dare to hit others in this place owned by the Miraculous Physician?”

“If you don’t make way, I’ll kill you. If anything were to happen to our Young Master, all of you will have to die together with him.”

A commotion broke out. Qing Shui felt very puzzled. In the Yehuang City, his Imperial Cuisine Hall was connected even to the Yehuang Clan. By rights, no one would dare to be so rude and brazen here, let alone to raise their hands and fight.

There were guards in the Imperial Cuisine Hall and a few of them immediately went up and said, “Making a racket is forbidden here. Arrest everyone who has started a commotion.”

“Damn it! How dare you arrest us. If you were to cause our Young Master’s illness to deteriorate, I’ll make sure your entire family joins him in death!” That arrogant voice sounded extremely agitated.

A few people behind them were carrying a man who was covered in a blanket. The man was convulsing and spewing white foam. The blanket was filled with blood traces.
