Completely opposite to their arrogant and imposing entrance, the three fierce-looking big men almost walked out of the Duoyao Pavilion's main door in a half-crouch, their faces respectful, backing away step by step.
After the three of them left, Xia Shi rushed directly to the backyard, grabbing Jiang Yun's arm, who was washing a large cauldron, with stars twinkling in his eyes, "Master Gu, was what you just said about those people being poisoned true?"
"Naturally, it's true!"
"Master Gu, you're too amazing! My father said that anyone who can directly diagnose a person's illness just by looking at them is definitely a top-tier Great Master!"
Even though Xia Shi was not old and a bit naive, having been exposed to Medicine Dao since childhood by his father, he naturally understood a little about it. Thus, he knew how incredibly difficult it was for Jiang Yun to determine if someone was poisoned with just a glance.
"Have you ever seen a Great Master scrubbing a large cauldron?"
"This..." Xia Shi suddenly snatched the brush from Jiang Yun's hand, "Master Gu, with your status, how can you still do such rough work? I'll do it, I'll do it, you go rest!"
"Alright, I'm not some Great Master. To tell you the truth, I just happened to have seen a true Great Master detoxify someone from the Luoli Grass poison before, which is why I could say it today. If it were a different poison, how could I possibly have recognized it!"
This wasn't entirely false. Although the Seven-Leaf Bitter Chrysanthemum was relatively rare, it could be found in Mang Mountain, and people in Jiang Village had also been poisoned by Luoli Grass. Jiang Yun had seen his grandfather treat it, so he kept it in mind.
However, Jiang Yun's profound attainment in the Dao of Medicine was also undeniably true. A physician might not necessarily refine Medicinal Pills, but an Alchemist must understand the Dao of Medicine!
Moreover, even an Alchemist might not necessarily treat people, but Jiang Yun, being in Mang Mountain, first learned medical skills, and then slowly transitioned from medical skills to alchemy.
The reason he said this now was merely to quickly get rid of Xia Shi's entanglement.
Although he finally managed to coax Xia Shi away after much persuasion, Jiang Yun never expected that this was just the beginning!
After two peaceful days, on the morning of the third day, when Xia Shi opened the shop door with a yawn, his gaping mouth could no longer close.
In front of the usually deserted shop door, a dense crowd of people had gathered, and standing at the very front were the three big men who had come three days ago.
Just then, the red-robed big man suddenly pointed at Xia Shi and said, "That Master Gu is from this shop! He saved the lives of us three brothers!"
As the big man's words fell, with a 'whoosh,' a crowd of people immediately surged into the shop.
By the time Xia Shi finally came to his senses, the small shop was already packed with people, each shouting at the top of their lungs, "Where's Master Gu? Master Gu, come out quickly!"
Xia Shi quickly squeezed back to the counter and also shouted loudly, "Don't make noise, don't make noise! What do you want to do! What Master Gu!"
The red-robed big man also squeezed to the front of the crowd, waving his hands, "That's right, everyone quiet down. You're here to seek medical treatment, not to cause trouble. Have some manners!"
After finally calming everyone down, the red-robed big man turned to Xia Shi and politely cupped his fist, "Little brother, these people are like us, they're all feeling a bit unwell, so they specifically came here to ask Master Gu for treatment."
It turned out that after the red-robed big man and his companions returned, they successfully detoxified themselves as Jiang Yun had instructed, which filled them with gratitude and admiration for Jiang Yun.
Furthermore, thinking that Jiang Yun was actually scrubbing a large cauldron in such a small shop, they decided to do something for him. Therefore, they widely publicized the matter, and thus, the current situation arose.
Xia Shi understood, but looking at the at least twenty or thirty people in front of him, he couldn't help but widen his eyes and say, "You all aren't poisoned, are you?"
This was naturally impossible, but for Cultivators, poisoning and injury were common occurrences, and every Cultivator would always carry several Medicinal Pills for healing and detoxification.
However, this was only the case for Core Disciples of major sects or Cultivators with some background.
Otherwise, the Medicinal Pills most Cultivators carried could not completely heal their injuries or fully remove the toxins from their bodies. Therefore, over time, these injuries and toxins would accumulate deeper and deeper within them.
Even if they wanted to seek treatment from Advanced physicians or Alchemists, the cost was naturally extremely expensive. So, these Cultivators, even though they knew their injuries were not healed or they had toxins in their bodies, would just let it be as long as they wouldn't die.
However, now, hearing that a Great Master like Jiang Yun, who charged no fees and only asked people to abandon evil and embrace good, had appeared, even if it was fake, they were willing to give it a try.
Xia Shi was a bit at a loss. If they were here to buy Medicinal Pills, he could handle it, but all these people were here to ask Jiang Yun for treatment and detoxification.
Moreover, Jiang Yun also said that he only coincidentally detoxified the three big men. If he couldn't treat these people, ruining their reputation would be a small matter, but causing public outrage would be a big deal!
"Treating you is not difficult!"
However, just as Xia Shi was in a difficult situation, Jiang Yun's voice suddenly rang out. He slowly stepped forward and appeared before everyone. Upon hearing this, the Cultivators' faces immediately showed hope, and they all stared intently at Jiang Yun.
Jiang Yun had already learned the whole story from the back, and looking at the many Cultivators in front of him, whose status and cultivation were clearly not high, he couldn't help but think of the Utility Disciples of the Wen Dao Sect.
If Utility Disciples were the lowest existence in the Wen Dao Sect, then these Cultivators in front of him were the lowest group of existences in the entire Cultivation Realm!
Although Jiang Yun couldn't be called kind, when he was in Mang Mountain, whenever he encountered injured people, he and his grandfather would definitely step in to help.
In particular, his grandfather had once warned him that in the eyes of a physician or Alchemist, there were no good people and bad people, only good people and patients!
Therefore, seeing so many people come to him for treatment, Jiang Yun could not refuse.
However, considering that he was only a cauldron scrubber and couldn't open a specialized shop, he pondered and said, "If I can heal your injuries and detoxify you, then you must buy a type of Medicinal Pill here in Duoyao Pavilion. As for what to buy, it's up to you, cheap ones are fine, expensive ones are also fine!"
"Additionally, if Medicinal Pills are needed, I cannot refine them for you; you will need to purchase them yourselves."
After a moment of deathly silence, everyone looked at each other, then burst out shouting, "No problem, no problem!"
"Good, then line up, one by one!"
After speaking, Jiang Yun sat on the counter, and the three big men who had come first spontaneously began to maintain order, arranging for everyone to line up and begin receiving Jiang Yun's treatment one by one.
Initially, although these people did come with some hope, to be honest, the moment they saw Jiang Yun, their hope was almost immediately replaced by disappointment.
The reason was simple: Jiang Yun was too young, so young that it was hard to believe he possessed any profound medical skills.
However, as Jiang Yun examined them one by one, the light in everyone's eyes grew brighter and brighter, and the joy on their faces became more and more evident!
