The Three Halls
The Three Halls
Thankfully, he could gather energy very fast with the Qi. Still, his cultivation was lacking a lot in the effort. He had been practicing slowly, but the tons of information in his head were keeping him distracted.
However, after fully understanding the knowledge he had acquired, he was finally free to progress with his cultivation, and in a single day, he broke through in both body and Qi.
He was now a 6th Qi Condensation realm cultivator with nearly a 7th level body cultivation. This was something he wouldn't even dream of achieving in less than a year back in Klavis.
Ning walked out of the room with his usual bald head, but a calm heart and a wide smile and made his way to the disciple's hall where they put you into work at the physician's guild.
"Hello, I have been here for a month and I need to start working in the physician's guild according to the rules, do you know what I should do?" he asked the person registering the different people.
The bald man looked at him with a warm smile and said, "Good morning brother. Please give me your identification card, I will make you a slip so you can go work in the physician's guild."
Ning did as asked and took out his identification card and handed it to the person. The person made a small paper slip and handed it to Ning.
"Go and show this to the person at the registration of the Physician's guild and they will tell you what to do," the man said.
"Thank you brother," Ning said and left the sect. He walked a few minutes to the other side of the city center and reached the physician's guild.
He walked up to the registration place and handed him the slip. "I'm starting today. Please tell me what to do," Ning said. The man looked at the slip and called someone.
"What is it, brother?" a young man with a bald head arrived from inside.
"Brother Ning here is new to the job, show him what you do each day. He will follow you around for today," the man at the registration said.
"Ah, I see. Good morning brother Ning. My name is Samod, please follow me. I will show you around the guild," he said and walked inside. Ning had gone inside once before, so he knew just how big the place was.
The outer registration hall was barely anything compared to the entire building. Ning followed the man named Samod and he introduced him to the entire Physician's guild.
The Physicians guild didn't only have people from the Pure Cleansing sect, however, most of them were indeed from there. There were also people who only wanted to learn to be a physician, but didn't want to join the sect.
As such, the guild was divided into 3 sections. The Volunteers Hall, the Physician's Hall, and the Learning hall.
The Learning Hall was where the different people learned new knowledge to become Physician. This place had the same books as the Pure Cleansing sect but cost money to learn. If they wanted to read for free, they had to join the sect.
The Physician's Hall was the obvious main attraction of the guild. It was the place where the certified physicians stayed and treated the different patients that arrived here.
The Volunteers Hall was the same as the Physician's Hall, however, these people were wannabe physicians who were only allowed to treat minor illnesses and injuries that would be just a waste of time for the more qualified physicians.
These people could also not earn any money and were thus usually just working there to gain experiences for when they became Physicians.
Ning was a little surprised when he learned that. "Can anyone become a volunteer?" he asked while walking down the hallway of the Volunteers hall.
"No. You need to pass a small exam if you want to start volunteering. They need to make sure that you are able to treat injuries before they start sending you the injured," Samod said.
"Of course. That makes sense. So, I assume the volunteers have to take some exam to become a physician as well?" Ning asked.
"Oh yeah. They actually have to take 3 different ones. One where they recognize the injuries. Second where they recognize different ingredients, and third where they have to recognize what medicine is used for what injury," Samod said.
"That's quite a lot of tests, isn't it?" Ning asked.
"Yes, but we need those so that we get the best physicians out of the volunteers who can actually do their job with the lowest error rate," Samod said.
He then took Ning to Physician's hall next. There were multiple different rooms in the physicians' hall, each with its own physician.
"This is where we mostly come to it, brother Ning. Our task is to attend to the physicians. You will only have to do it once a day, but if you end up making a physician your master. They can permanently keep you with them so that you can learn from them."
"That's what most want to do really. Get taught by a talented physician, pass the test to become a volunteer and then learn enough that you end up becoming a physician. Ahh, what a dream. Shame, someone like me can never do that," Samod said dejectedly.
"I'm sure you will make it big someday, brother Samod. You just gotta keep hope," Ning said.
"Sigh, that's true. I always get hopeless when I think about this stuff," Samod said. Ning smiled and walked behind him as he took him through the various hallways until he reached one particular door.
"Right there, that's where Elder Neal works and I am his attendant today. Come I will show you what happens."
