AST 2003 - Half A Year Later, Imperial Cuisine Hall, Great Benevolence and Righteousness (2/2)

”Sir, you can be said to have given me a second lease of life. If I hadn't met you, I'd just be a walking corpse even if I were alive. I feel that I'm mentally strong, but there are just some things which are hard to let go of. I don't know how to thank you, but if you need me for anything, I'll put down everything else to come and help you. Even if you want my life, I won't hesitate to give it to you. ” Zhang Miaoyun said very seriously.

Qing Shui smiled and pat him on the shoulder. ”We don't have any agreements between us. You came to seek treatment and I provided the treatment. You had also found the medicinal herbs and also paid for the medical fees. You don't owe me anything. I'm a physician. If everyone is like you, how can I keep my medical hall operating?”

Zhang Miaoyun knew what Qing Shui meant and didn't say much. He merely smiled and nodded, ”I'm a man of my words. You're the person I trust and respect the most. If you have anything you need my help in, please do not stand on ceremony.”

”Alright, I shall not stand on ceremony then.”

...

The days that followed, were very peaceful. Qing Ci learned medical skills and cultivation from Qing Shui. Moreover, the older kids in the Imperial Cuisine Hall were still cultivating endlessly. Qing Shui was very serious in this matter. No matter if they had passed the optimum age for cultivation, Qing Shui treated them all the same. 15 to 16 years old wasn't too late.

The Imperial Cuisine Hall hired a few other physicians. With the Imperial Cuisine Hall's current abilities, it was naturally easier for them to recruit physicians. There were even people who came without asking for remunerations. This was why having a good reputation was good. People would come here in order to learn better medical skills.

Qing Shui naturally knew what these people had come for. Physicians must first have morals. If they didn't have morals, Qing Shui won't teach them anything at all. Otherwise, when these people became more capable, they would also bring more agony to others.

In order to build up the Imperial Treasure Hall's reputation, Qing Shui was still going to stay in the Great Shang City for a period of time. It could be a relatively long period of time. This place would also become a resting spot for him. In the future, it could also be one of Qing Clan's home.

In the blink of an eye, five months passed by.

Five months wasn't considered long, it was actually very short. Things over here were all moving on the right track. Although the Imperial Cuisine Hall didn't have any disagreements with the Lang Clan and Shang Clan, the others had all recognized the Imperial Cuisine Hall's status. Earlier on, they all recognized the Sacred Medicine Palace's status. Now that the Imperial Cuisine Hall was much stronger in all aspects compared to the Sacred Medicine Palace, no one would dare to come and create trouble.

Another thing to mention was the good morals of the Imperial Cuisine Hall. The poor could seek treatment at a very low price, paying only for the cost of the medicine. If they had difficulties, they could even get treated for free. Within a few months, the Imperial Cuisine Hall's reputation had overthrown all the other forces in the Great Shang City. Now they were known as a force with great benevolence and righteousness.

Quite a number of people from the great clans came to seek treatment, with many of them being incurable diseases. This world was different from Qing Shui's previous life. For example, in his previous life, if a person successfully treated an incurable disease like cancer, it would bring them endless troubles...

However, it wasn't the same in this world. People would only see you as a miraculous physician, an amazing physician. You would only get respect.

Therefore, the Imperial Cuisine Hall's relations with many influences were very amiable. The Imperial Cuisine Hall had gained a certain level of prestige and no one would dare to bully them. Putting aside if they were capable of bullying them, there would be many people who wouldn't stand for it.

Qing Shui wasn't a stubborn person who was obstinate on old-fashioned rules. Great clans were a byproduct of a generation. Even if he couldn't stand the way they brought themselves, the fact that they existed, meant that they were a norm. He won't be able to change them completely nor should he avoid them all just because of this. Even if you were to defeat a clan, a new clan would be born immediately. Moreover, this wasn't a legit reason for one to destroy a clan. If he was to do so, it wouldn't be long before he got himself killed.v
