(Unedited)



Shin Jiao didn't expect that his plans would change and another week has passed as he busied himself in creating the healing vats. Since he could not just craft everything with ease in his situation it took him a couple of days to finish a single vat.

It was already in the middle of the night and Shin Jiao is still working in an emptied building next to the infirmary.

Knock! Knock!

A knock sounded from the door as three people enter the workshop where there are many different parts are scattered all over the place.

"Doctor Ji, are you here?" a man called out.

"Yes, over here!" Shin Jiao called from underneath a metallic object.

"Oh, working hard as always. Hehe… I've heard that you really are a diligent young man. I guess for the first time the rumors are true." A stately voice said.

Shin Jiao seems to notice that the atmosphere seems weird so he decided to stop for the meantime and crawl out from underneath the object.

When the people saw him they were a bit surprised. His unkempt face and hair make Shin Jiao look like some beggar on the street. The grease on his face, hands, and clothes stunned the people looking at him.

Shin Jiao saw five people inside the room. One of them is Bailao Di and on the other four he just knew the middle-aged man, the governor of Yun Ji city, he didn't know his name though.

The women behind the governor are snickering upon seeing his unkempt and greasy appearance.

Even Bailao Di was a bit taken aback. He didn't visit Shin Jiao these couple of days as he was too busy at the infirmary himself assisting his father and the other doctors.

"Ahem… Umn… Governor, this is Doctor Qiong Ji. Brother Ji this is Governor Zu." Bailao Di introduces.

"Ah… this citizen greets the governor." Shin Jiao cupped his hands in greetings.

"Haha… I've heard a lot about you since you came to the city. It's only been 2 weeks and your name has already spread around. I've heard that even in the city your name is already known. I just came here because I was tasked with the capital to tell you that you have to return to your home. Plus, they ask you to visit the imperial palace. The emperor wants to meet you." Governor Zu said with a smile.

Bailao Di and Shin Jiao showed a shocked expression on their faces. In fact, communication between the city and the capital is really fast. Thought the distance is too far that it would take weeks or months to travel, but the communication would only take days. This is because the empire is using trained courier birds that could fly for thousands of kilometers without stopping.

Hence those families who have heard of the miracle doctor have already spread the word into the other cities and even at the empire.

"This… this humble one will obey. Thank you for bearing the news steamed governor, sir." Shin Jiao politely said.

"Haha… oh, by the way, these are my two daughters, Feng Zu and Wei'er Zu… We were supposed to go to dinner but I decided to visit you and give the news personally. I've heard of your name but haven't met you. So, go on, continue, and don't mind this old man." Governor Zi said as he turns around and walked out.

Bailao Di showed an awkward expression on Shin Jiao while smiling.

After the group walked out, Shin Jiao heaves a sigh and then continue working. He is about to finish the vat and tomorrow is the first trial. He expected that the monster would not make a move, but contrary to his expectation, the monster has once again spread the dark Qi to another village.

So time is a little bit tight for him.

Meanwhile, the group walked out of the workshop.

"Doctor Ji is a bit of an eccentric like your father isn't he?" the governor asked Bailao Di on the side.

"Ah, yes, governor. He is a bit focused on his work, but he is a really good doctor. So far the best one I have known comparable to my master." Bailao Di said with high praise for Shin Jiao's medical techniques.

With a nod of his head, the governor seems to agree.

"Well, come with us, I'll treat you and your father dinner… It's been a long time since I have a good dinner with Old Doctor Di. Haha…"

The governor said as he led the group to the infirmary.



The dawn the next day, the sun has not yet risen and Shin Jiao has already finished the healing vats and has cleaned the workshop. He successfully made two vats. One is for the use in the infirmary while the other is for when they needed to go to the villages.

He felt tired so he closed his eyes for a while and sat on a chair. Not long later, he fell asleep and didn't notice a figure entering the workshop.

The figure looks at his tired figure and didn't bother to wake him up. He just grabs a blanket on the side and donned it on the tired-looking young doctor. Then he walked out of the workshop.

"Sigh… what a diligent working young lad." Doctor Di said as he enters the infirmary next door.

When it was already 8 in the morning, the infirmary opens, and right on time, the first patient from another plague-infected village arrives.

At this time, Shin Jiao and the other doctors have already arranged the vat for the infirmary in an isolated location in the infirmary. Since the dark Qi can be transmitted through skin contact, the doctors in the infirmary wore arm length leather gloves and long sleeves to protect themselves.

As the first person arrives inside a cage, Shin Jiao felt a bit bothered but he could not do anything. In this ancient time like era, he is in right now, he could not help but pity the sick. However, if the healing vat could successfully contain the dark Qi in the patient's body, he could gain something from it.

As they set up the patient, he began explaining the function of the vat to the doctors around him. There are three containers at the vat. The most dangerous container is marked red and should not be handled or touch by just anyone. He warned them, that if they touch that container and accidentally got in contact with their skin, there is a chance for them to die or even spread the disease to more people. With this warning, everyone immediately takes note of the red container located at the back of the vat in a hidden compartment that should not be touched.

However, he showed them the other two which they can use to pour in the medicine they needed to use, either through infusion or liquid bath.

After explaining to the group, the patient lying inside the vat who looks weak and feeble showed a concerned look on his face.

"This is a healing decoction that Doctor Di has produced." Shin Jiao explained as he showed the group a small bottle of gray liquid.

"First, this is what you should do before using the decoction…" Shin Jiao showed them as he activated the vat pressing a button on the side.

The button is just a disguise to activate the formation inside the vat which does not use mana or Qi. From his experience in the maze inside the bandit's village, he knew that if he edits the array formation and removes the need to use Qi or mana, he could manipulate the energy he chooses and use it as a medium to manipulate the rest of the array.

At this time, he chooses fire as his medium to activate the array. And so using an oil lamp, he is able to make the array inside the vat activate and began to siphon and dark Qi inside the man's body. This process made the vat produce a low humming sound.

It didn't too long before the man suddenly shows a painful grimace on his face and then not long later, his expression turned calm. Then they heard the vat turned quite.

"Once the sound is gone, it means that the certain element causing the disease in his body is already gone. So now you can use the medication." Shin Jiao explained as he carefully removes the metal railings covering the vat.

He then carefully made the man drink the decoction.

Not long later, the man showed a bit of strength in his body. As he looks at Shin Jiao and the rest of the doctor with happiness.

"I'm… I'm cured… I'm cured… Doctor… doctor thank you…" the man excitedly said however, Shin Jiao stopped him.

"Sir, you still need a couple of days before you can move. We requested the worst patient in your village to be sent here… so you have to rest first."

Then Shin Jiao looks at the doctors.

"If the patient is unable to drink the decoction you can use this infusion type decoction, which is also made by Doctor Di." Shin Jiao explained while pointing at Doctor Di on the side.

After the demonstration, Shin Jiao showed the doctors the other vat which they could take to help the other patients.

After that, they immediately formed a team to help the infected village. Many wanted to go, but only a few were chosen which made the rest feel a bit dejected.

However, that morning, they receive a piece of grievous news. This is because the guards of the city told them that the plague is now spreading fast, the nearest village of Yun Long which us only 2 hours away from the city already shows signs of the plague spreading.

Upon hearing this, Shin Jiao frowns and his expression turned serious. That thing is making his move this early. However, in the corner of his mouth, a slight smirk appears. This is because he also has his plans.

"If you can spread them, then I will just harvest them. Hehehe… Thank you for the freebies." Shin Jiao thought to himself as he walked back to the workshop and prepares himself to travel out.

He felt excited as he could not wait to harvest those free energies outside.
