Peerless Divine Doctor

Chapter 1367: Chapter 1367: Becoming a Doctor

At this moment, within Nan Zhou City, the Nalan Family experienced an overnight upheaval, which naturally caused quite a stir. According to the Nalan Family, they had kindly taken in a young man named Ye Luo, but unexpectedly, this youth bit the hand that fed him, coveting the beauty of the eldest daughter, and even went so far as to kidnap her!

And this Nalan Chen was caught red-handed as an accomplice!

The Junior City Lord was very angry, as Nalan Rou already had an engagement with him, yet she was snatched away by someone else.

Therefore, after being severely taught a lesson by the Junior City Lord, Nalan Chen was left hanging high on the city walls!

There were people assigned every day to ensure that he wouldn’t die, but also didn’t have an easy time—brought to the city walls at sunrise to be tied to a stake, and taken back to the cell at sunset, repeating the process daily.

Following the great upheaval of the Nalan Family, naturally, the Junior City Lord took over the management of the Nalan Family, allegedly as a temporary substitute for Nalan Rou.

However, the truth of the matter was known only to a few.

Of course, many people simply did not believe the Junior City Lord’s story.

Unfortunately, the Junior City Lord was the second most powerful person in Nan Zhou City, just under one and above ten thousand others, so the people could only silently accept his narrative.

Only Nalan Chen, day after day, wore a smile, even while bound to the stake and subjected to the scorching sun, battered by wind and rain, and even occasionally tortured, he always wore a smile on his face!

Time blinked, and seven days had passed.

On this day, Ye Luo came to Nalan Rou’s room, somewhat helplessly saying to her: ”Miss, we’ve run out of money...”

Ye Luo couldn’t help but laugh and cry; it was the first time he fretted over money—after all, on Earth, he was a billionaire, and even after arriving in the Martial Realm, he had never been short on money, but today, he truly had none.

The inn, to tell the truth, was not asking for much.

For two premium rooms with meals included, it was only ninety silver per month—a very reasonable price, but Ye Luo only had one hundred silver, and with some purchases over these seven days, he was now out of money!

”Ah, what should we do?”

Nalan Rou looked somewhat embarrassed; in fact, Ye Luo had hardly spent a copper coin on himself in these seven days, as it had all been spent on buying various things for Nalan Rou.

And Nalan Rou even complained the items weren’t good enough!

Now, without the Nalan Family, she, Nalan Rou, was really nothing at all.

Ye Luo smiled slightly and said to Nalan Rou: ”Miss, you stay in the inn for now, I’ll go out and find a way to make some money first.”

”Oh, alright, that, Ye Luo, from now on, just call me Rou’er, I, I’m not the Miss anymore!”

Nalan Rou said to Ye Luo with a flush on her face.

Ye Luo smiled gently: ”Alright, Rou’er!”

In fact, Ye Luo probably never really saw Nalan Rou as any kind of Miss from the beginning!

Making money!

Perhaps the simplest way would be to sell off those stones he had on hand!

Regrettably, Ye Luo found with dismay that Yunkai City had no market for stones at all.

Yunkai City was somewhat special, not large, and moreover, it was a mountain city, built on the peak of Yunkai Mountain.

For example, pushing open the window of the inn where Ye Luo was staying allowed one to see the rolling sea of clouds.

Ye Luo had no idea why Yunkai City was built here, but Ye Luo didn’t have the mind to worry about such things. What was most important to him now was figuring out a way to make money.

Ye Luo spent his last copper coin on a piece of white cloth and some ink and brush, then he wrote down four big characters: ”Cures All Diseases!”

Indeed, Ye Luo had to return to his old profession and become a doctor!

Although he was uncertain whether he could cure the diseases in the Martial Realm, what other choice did Ye Luo have?

The last five hundred copper coins were Ye Luo’s first monthly salary at the Nalan Family, and naturally, it was his last.

This time, Ye Luo was truly penniless!

It could be said that he was as poor as if his two pockets were equally empty.

Picking a random wooden pole, Ye Luo lifted the banner and walked out.

As he walked, even Ye Luo couldn’t help but find it somewhat amusing; the Medical Martial God reduced to the state of a wandering doctor—it was questionable whether this would be considered a dark spot in his life!

Ye Luo had no face to shout about his services; he really couldn’t bring himself to do it.

However, as Ye Luo was walking, he heard a voice.

”Doctor, doctor!”

Ye Luo turned around, only to see a skinny, dark young boy calling out to him.

”Are you calling me?”

Ye Luo asked doubtfully.

”Who else if not you? We don’t have doctors in Yunkai City. You say you can cure all diseases, is that true?”

Ye Luo was slightly startled. He couldn’t fully guarantee it; if this were Earth, of course he could say so, but in the Martial Realm, Ye Luo really wasn’t so sure.

But now, his livelihood depended on it, so naturally, he couldn’t dismiss his own claims.

”How can you be sure of my medical skills if you’ve never tried them? However, I see that you are not sick; perhaps a family member of yours is ill?”

”That’s true. Alright then, doctor, follow me. My master has indeed been seeking a good physician everywhere, but to no avail. If you can cure my young master’s disease, you will surely receive a generous reward!”

The Martial Realm is different from Earth, because even ordinary people here are nourished by Spiritual Power, they almost have no diseases at all.

Of course, because of this, doctors are very few and far between.

Generally speaking, most doctors in the Martial Realm are replaced by Alchemists. However, precisely because diseases are rare, when they do occur, they are almost always extremely troublesome.

Wandering doctors are the most common type of doctors in the Martial Realm, but someone like Ye Luo who wanders around with a banner is extremely rare!

”Which Sect do you belong to, doctor? All the doctors I know are extremely powerful beings who rarely move around with banners like you do. Even wandering doctors, upon reaching a city, are honored guests at the City Lord’s Mansion. To be honest, I observed for a long time before deciding to approach you!”

Ye Luo smiled faintly, knowing that although this man spoke tactfully, he was actually skeptical: ”If you don’t trust me, just be open about it. I can promise you that if I cannot cure your young master’s illness, I will not charge any fee for the consultation. As for which Sect I belong to? My master has ordered that it should not be mentioned.”

Ye Luo felt quite helpless in his heart. The matter concerning Xiao Ba hadn’t been resolved yet; Xiao Ba hadn’t dissipated but had left behind an extremely faint Remnant Soul. Unfortunately, Ye Luo now had to consider Nalan Rou first, what with a whole heap of worrisome matters piling up.

The man, hearing Ye Luo speak thusly, did not press further. He wasn’t worried about Ye Luo being a fraud, for doctors are very special and extremely rare in the Martial Realm, so there was no possibility for deception!

Soon, Ye Luo was led to a mountain residence with an elegant hall.
