Chapter 575

(Unedited)

…

Shin Jiao saw the son of Doctor Di entering the infirmary along with a couple of people following behind him. From the way they were all dressed, they look like professional doctors who are here to show everyone their prestige and not to treat patients. Shin Jiao thought of this because he can see the unnecessary bangles and trinkets dangling from their clothes.

He just shook his head in disappointment. He knew that these people are prideful because they all came from the capital city and graduates of a prestigious medical school.

As the group enters everyone inside the huge infirmary turn silent and just gave the group a weird look on their faces.

"Are you a doctor? Please treat this soldier, he has a deep wound on his side…" suddenly a soldier asked as he enters the room while supporting his companion.

When the group who came with the son of Doctor Di saw this, they all showed a scowl on their faces. They came from noble families, how dare a mere peasant to command them.

"Are you stupid? Can't you see this? How dare you ask us nobles to cure a commoner?" one of the young men beside Bailao Di sneered while showing a jade bangle with an engraved pattern on it.

When the people saw the pattern they all turned quiet. No one dared say anything as the group truly belongs to noble families in the capital. They dare not offend such people and dare not command them. Hence the soldier just lowered his head.

"A noble doctor who does not want to treat a patient, what kind of doctor are you?" Shin Jiao suddenly said with a scowl on his face.

"You enter this place, and yet you just wanted to look and not act? I wonder what kind of education does the academy in the capital give… I guess it's a failure teaching then… Hahaha…" Shin Jiao added.

Hearing Shin Jiao's words, everyone in the room turned silent and a bit afraid. Shin Jiao didn't even dare to face the group and just continue to bandage the patient in front of him.

"A doctor should always prioritize patients rather than status. That way, you can learn more about how to heal people… if you are only a doctor in 'name' then it's better for you to get out of this place. We have no room for unskilled individuals in here."

His words are sharp and pierced through the ego of the people behind Bailao Di.

"You… Who says that we are not skilled? Huh, just a simple bandaging and healing wounds… come here… let me show you what a true doctor is…" suddenly one of the nobles said and walked towards the soldier who just entered.

The then immediately went to action and checked the condition of the soldier.

But from the way he is doing things, it seems that this person is not yet experienced. The older doctors, who have already arrived, shook their heads and gave a wry smile towards Shin Jiao.

They never would have expected that a simple taunt would immediately crumble the ego of these newbies and show off their supposed learned skill and expertise.

"Before you can heal your patient, he would have already died due to blood loss." Shin Jiao suddenly said as he walked towards the soldier on the bed.

He expertly tore off the armor and using a needle stopped the bleeding.

"There, you can check him now." Shin Jiao said as he walked away and found another patient.

His action infuriated and shamed the newly graduated doctor.

"Qiong Ji! You… I challenge you on a duel. Let's see who the better doctor is. A wastrel like you or me!" suddenly Bailao Di said.

Hearing his words, the people around him showed a confused look on their faces.

"That's right, I remember the rumors in the capital now… it seems that you are the trash son of the Ji Clan who escape to the border to run from your pursuers…" Bailao Di said with a sneer.

Everyone suddenly discussed it in a hushed voice.

"That's right, I remember the rumor that the Xin family is looking for someone from the Ji family. It is said that he molested the young miss of the Xin family. Luckily it was discovered by some people…"

"I never thought that a good doctor like him has a horrible background…"

"Wait maybe he would poison us… I don't want to be examined by him…"

"Me too… I won't believe that he has no ulterior motive by healing our wounds…"

The soldiers and the people around the room showed weird gazes towards Shin Jiao. Even the person he is currently checking showed hesitation.

"Sigh… alright, I have already shown these people my skill… now it's your turn." Shin Jiao didn't bother with Bailao Di and just stood up while heaving a helpless sigh.

He knew how rumors can become a problem for him, but he just did this for a cover, who would have known that it would be this troublesome.

"Hahaha, what skill? This is nothing…" Bailao Di sneered as he walked towards a soldier.

"Everyone, I am here to show you what a true medicine doctor is…" he said as he walked towards a soldier lying in bed.

He began to feel the soldier's pulse and then checked his body.

Then he frowns…

"This soldier is poisoned… quickly, give these ingredients…" Bailao Di said as he wrote a prescription.

After that, he grabs some needles and began treating the patient with acupuncture. Then not long later, the condition of the soldier seems to show recovery.

Then he forced the soldier to take the herbal decoction and laid the soldier sideways on the bed.

Suddenly, the soldier vomited black blood. Then his complexion became better.

The soldier slowly opened his eyes and showed confusion after seeing the people in the room looking at him.

"Amazing… that is the son of Doctor Di, right?"

"Yes, he is an amazing doctor just like his father…"

The people around began to praise Bailao Di after seeing his amazing skill in medicine. With a smug look on his face, he scowled at Shin Jiao's direction as if challenging him.

But then, suddenly the soldier began trembling, and then his mouth began to foam with his eyes suddenly rolling back and turning white.

Suddenly, the expression of Bailao Di turned ashen. He is sure that he followed what his master taught him on how to detoxify the poison. Plus he is also sure that the black blood is the poison, so how could there be anything left in the body of the soldier.

The old doctors inside the room just shook their heads.

Although the people inside were amazed when the young doctor Di was able to make the soldier conscious again, they already knew that it was too late. And that is the reason why none of them dare to touch the patient.

While this is happening, Bailao Di is already panicking and began checking the slowly weakening pulse of the young man.

Shin Jiao on the other hand was also surprised at what has happened. He didn't check this soldier before as there are 2 old doctors who have already checked him and thought that he would recover soon. He just discovered that the man is actually poisoned.

Judging from the reaction of the doctors in the room, it seems that they have already given up on him. He shook his head and took a step forward. If this is in on earth, the man might also have died already as it has already been quite sometime when he was poisoned.

However, Shin Jiao has a way to remove that poison.

He walked beside Bailao Di and said in a cold tone.

"Step aside… if you don't want him to die…"

"You… what can you do? Get out of my way…" Bailao Di shouted as he tried to push Shin Jiao away.

However, when he tried he was the one who was pushed instead. It was like he was pushing against a wall. Bailao Di's figure fell to the ground in a sorry manner.

Seeing this, Shin Jiao just smirked and extended his hand towards the man's nose.

"He is still breathing…" Shin Jiao muttered.

He then repositioned the soldier sideways and put him in a recovery position. Then with his finger, he acted like feeling the soldier's pulse. Upon doing this, Shin Jiao secretly uses his domain to invade the body of the soldier and located the poison which has already spread throughout his body.

He was a bit amazed at the tenacity of the soldier to live.

"This one is a fighter…" Shin Jiao thought as he began to control the poison around his body into a single point while protecting the person's heart from further damage and his brain.

Then he used acupuncture needles to pierce some of the soldier's acupoints.

While everyone is watching, they all saw the silver needles slowly turning black. It was as if the needles are absorbing the poison inside the soldier's body.

Everyone gasped in disbelief upon seeing this scene in front of them.

"How?"

"This is the rumored Black Hand technique… this is used to treat poison by those divine doctors."

"Are you saying that Doctor Ji is a divine doctor? How could that be? He is too young…"

Everyone in the room began to whisper once again while giving Shin Jiao a curious and probing gaze which made him feels a shiver down his spine.

Not long later, the soldier's complexion slowly turned to normal and Shin Jiao wipe the foam and the black blood from his mouth. He carefully removes the silver needles which is now tinge with black and threw them in the fire.

Not showing any smug look on his face, he continues to another patient and didn't mind the gazes around him.

The other doctors just look at him with dumbfounded expressions and smiled. They were all astounded at what they have seen and are a bit grateful to see such a wonderful medical skill.

Bailao Di just gape at Shin Jiao's figure and was still a bit confused when he unconsciously walked out of the infirmary while mumbling to himself.

"Impossible… this is impossible…"
