"What an excellent young master, it's a pity he isn't from our own clan..."

Being an outsider meant having to put in more effort, but everyone understood why there would be outsiders. This reason was something they greatly admired.

The Leisurely Journey rode his horse all the way to Huichuntang Hall on the eastern side of the city and tied up the horse nearby. Before entering Huichuntang Hall, he also took a look at the sign above to see if it belonged to the Luo Family; otherwise, he would have to ask for clarification. Who knew how many Huichuntang Halls there were around here Making a mistake wouldn't be good.

After confirming that this was indeed the Luo Family's Huichuntang Hall, Leisurely Journey entered and immediately encountered someone who should be a waiter at Huichuntang Hall. The waiter said to him: "Young master, please queue up if you're here for medical treatment!"

"Queue" Leisurely Journey was taken aback as he looked over and saw that there really was a line of people queuing up. This group of people stared at him, seemingly saying, “Kid, get in the queue; don't think you can jump ahead.”

"I'm not here to see a doctor..." Leisurely Journey shook his head, adding, "Don't look at me like that—I'm not cutting into your line. I couldn’t do something like that."

“Oh, then it must be for picking up medicine. Please follow me.” The waiter immediately replied but was somewhat puzzled; usually, very few people came so early in the morning to pick up medicine. Medicine could be picked up anytime, whereas seeing a doctor late might mean missing their turn.

Huichuntang Hall's clinic was quite well-known. Needle was considered a little god of medicine by many and could cure most illnesses without requiring major treatment.

“No, I’m here to see patients... umm, actually, to sit the clinic!” Leisurely Journey said.

"Sit the clinic" The waiter looked puzzled. There were several people who sat clinics there, but not everyone did so daily. However, he knew all those who regularly sat clinics and had never seen Leisurely Journey before.

“I’m here to replace Needle; she’s unwell today. She refused to rest when I asked her to, so I decided to cover for her today. Show me where she usually sits, and I’ll take over for a day.” Leisurely Journey explained.

"So you were sent by Doctor Needle Please follow me then." The waiter glanced at Leisurely Journey and noticed he was also wearing the Luo Family's jade token, so he no longer doubted anything.

“I wonder what your relationship with Doctor Needle is, Young Master” As the waiter led Leisurely Journey to Needle’s position, he curiously asked.

"She's my cousin!" Leisurely Journey casually replied.

“...” The waiter was speechless. He knew Leisurely Journey was from the Luo Family and that he must be her cousin, but this didn’t clarify much beyond that.

“Then how should I address you”

"Just call me Leisurely Journey; it’s fine." Leisurely Journey replied casually. He usually didn't care about titles and found calling someone by their name perfectly acceptable.

“So you’re Young Master Leisurely Journey, huh How skilled are your medical skills I need to arrange accordingly...” This was the most important point; if his medical skills weren’t good enough to handle difficult cases, he’d have to refer such patients to other doctors on duty.

"Just send anything that isn't dead my way," Leisurely Journey replied as he sat down and took up position. His expression remained relaxed, making it seem like what he said was a mundane matter.

However, everyone who heard him went silent—this young master really did talk big; his medical skills must be pretty average.

Hence, the people at the back of the queue seemed to loosen up and wanted to move over to other queues. Every clinic on duty had a line in front of it today.

At this point, Leisurely Journey's line suddenly became much shorter, with only those with minor ailments left. They could just find any doctor for a prescription, so Leisurely Journey was indifferent about the number of patients; after all, he was covering for Needle’s shift and didn’t care how many there were—fewer would be better.

"Come on, let's start! Sit down and extend your hand," Leisurely Journey pointed to the first person in line.

“I... I’ll go over there instead!”

The first person refused to give Leisurely Journey any face and joined another queue.

"Next!" Leisurely Journey wasn’t bothered at all, casually calling out for the next patient.

This time, the patient cooperated by sitting down and extending his hand immediately.

“Minor ailment, just a bit of medicine will do!” Leisurely Journey examined the patient’s complexion, took their pulse briefly, then started writing the prescription.

"It's done" The patient was stunned; Leisurely Journey had completed everything in just one glance, so fast it seemed he was playing around.

“Done! Here is your prescription. Go pick up the medicine and take one dose a day for three days,” Leisurely Journey handed over the prescription to the patient. He wrote out the prescription extremely quickly, making people feel his speed was too fast.

For common ailments like colds, Leisurely Journey naturally didn’t need to use acupuncture or Divine Farmer’s True Qi; there was no necessity for that.

However, his quick resolution did not make people feel that he was an outstanding doctor. If he were a renowned physician, everyone would think it was because of the excellence of his medical skills, but he wasn't. In everyone's impression, he was just a young master in his twenties who seemed to be here for fun.

Therefore, people felt about this matter that—

"Are you brushing me off Do you know how inappropriate it is What if my condition gets worse because of your carelessness Humph!" The patient was furious and stood up, tearing off the prescription from Xianyao and left angrily.

Seeing this situation, those who were still queuing in front of Xianyao immediately scattered to other consultation queues.

Hence, Xianyao became very leisurely. He started directly leaning on the table pretending to sleep, making people think that he was just here to go through the motions. Everyone shook their heads.

So, Xianyao "slept" until noon, while everyone else was busy as hell, but he had no patients at all. New visitors seemed to have heard something and ran to other queues instead of disturbing Xianyao.

"Time for lunch. Where is the canteen" The first thing Xianyao said when he "woke up" left everyone speechless; it was quite punctual, indeed.

Despite this, no one dared to say anything because Xianyao was still a young master from the Luo family and better off than them who were just serving. They didn’t want to lose their jobs over this.

Very soon, someone led Xianyao to the back room for meals; some people had already started eating. There wasn't enough time for everyone to eat together here, so they took turns.

The food on the table where Xianyao sat seemed a bit better but not poor elsewhere, just better on good grounds.

Xianyao didn’t mind this and quickly finished his meal before heading out again to continue "sleeping." This day passed easily without affecting his cultivation practice; what a pleasant thing!

Time slipped by bit by bit. It was approaching evening, and in just a few more sticks of incense time, Xianyao would be done with his task. Even if he hadn’t seen a single patient, his mission to sit the clinic had been completed perfectly because his duty was merely to be present and didn't stipulate seeing patients.

He wouldn’t rush back after ending his shift; instead, he’d go for a stroll around town. He had yet to properly explore this place despite having been here for so long. It felt rather regrettable. The night market here was said to be good with many tasty and fun things to see and try.

"Doctor, please come save him!"

Right when Xianyao was fantasizing about strolling in the night market, a loud shout came from outside. A middle-aged man ran in carrying a young man covered in blood stains.

"Please doctor, hurry and help! He was just hit by a carriage and is near death," said the middle-aged man anxiously.

Following him nervously was a teenage girl with a maid and several guards. From this situation, it seemed that she owned the carriage that had hit the young man.

"Let me take a look!"

A doctor immediately went over to examine the patient. In such situations, saving lives came first; this rule was always followed in this Huichun Hall. While there is an order of arrival, some can't wait.

The examining doctor checked the young man and took his pulse…

"You should hurry to save him! If he survives, I'll reward you generously," said the teenage girl, perhaps feeling this was her only way to help.

“It's too late. He has no chance of survival!” The examining doctor concluded quickly.

“No, please doctor! Look again! He’s my only son; I can’t bear seeing him die,” the middle-aged man cried out desperately.

"I'm not refusing to help, it's just too late. Your son has lost all hope of survival, even a god couldn't save him!" said the doctor solemnly.

“You! Come over here and take a look!” The teenage girl pointed at another sitting doctor.

"Alright, let me see," the girl was clearly someone not to be trifled with. Since she asked, he would take a look; after all, if nothing could be done based on his previous assessment, there wouldn't be any repercussions.

“All of you come over and take a look!” The teenage girl requested every sitting doctor to examine the patient, but did not call for Xianyao since no one was in front of him.

Xianyao stood up at this moment, intending to help. However, when he reached out his hand, someone pulled him back and told him not to interfere as it wasn't a place for play.

Since that's the case, let everyone take a look then. Xianyao felt that the young man had not died completely and was fine for now. From when he entered until now, there had been no change in his condition; although it appeared lifeless, his body might instinctively preserve its vitality which could be awakened by someone who knew how to do so.

However, those capable of doing this were rare. Perhaps among these sitting doctors was one such person or none at all.

Furthermore, if too much time passed, even that remaining vitality would dissipate. The period wasn't long but also not something to rush in the moment. (To be continued)feels suitable for us" Xianyao smiled and said; he felt the girl in front of him didn't need to know about Isolated Star or these things.“Hm, I know one place, it was by accident. There’s a small wate...
