CHAPTER 78 - ENMITY BETWEEN MEDICINE AND MAGIC
Translated by Luxican

Yao Rong went stiff as if struck by lightning, and her beautiful face distorted in grief.
It turned out that Yao Rong and Fan Zhi had been a couple. Both of them were obsessed with the study of ancient medicine and had raised a lively and cute daughter.
At that time, Fan Zhi and his wife had studied medicine under Grandmaster Guo Shou. They were both talented, especially Fan Zhi.
Both them held important positions in the Medicine Association, but due to an accident their daughter was seriously injured. Her injuries had been even worse than that boy's in front of him.
All the doctors of the Medicine Association, including Grandmaster Guo Shou, had been helpless. At that time Fan Zhi heard that the Magic Temple might have a way to save his daughter, but when he was going to send his daughter to the Magic Temple to seek treatment, including Grandmaster Guo Shou all doctors came forward to stop him.
They believed if they sent a person to the Magic Temple, it would be equivalent to admitting that treatment through magic was better than ancient medicine.
Despite Fan Zhi's pleading, the Medicine Association did not agree to send his daughter to the Magic Temple. They even imprisoned Fan Zhi. In the end, when Fan Zhi was released, his daughter was already motionless in the arms of Yao Rong.
Fan Zhi was thoroughly disappointed with the Medicine Association. He announced that he would withdraw from the Medicine Association, study magic, and combine ancient medicine and magic for the best medical treatment.
It was only that he was already too old when he started to seriously learn magic. He was far behind in terms of magical comprehension, and because he was once a doctor, this led to the current embarrassing situation.
After Yun Sheng understood what had unfolded in the past, she had only one thought.
Stupid, really foolish.
At this moment, Yun Sheng only felt that the doctors of the Medicine Association were too pedantic.
This enmity between ancient medicine and magic was like the battle between Chinese medicine and Western Medicine in the past.
But because of Yan Family's teachings, Yun Sheng thought that there was no real Chinese and Western Medicine in the world. On the contrary, taking the strengths and making up the shortcomings of the two, would lead to the best treatment.
"Yao Rong, do you want the child's parents to experience the same pain as you and me?" Fan Zhi asked, and took the boy over.
The doctor of the Medicine Association wanted to step forward, but was stopped by Yao Rong. Yao Rong paled. "Fan Zhi, you know, that if you take this child away and it won't be saved, you will have to bear the consequences."
In the Great Zhou Kingdom, the death of patients brought about by the doctor's improper behavior was punishable, ranging from lowering the doctor's rank to even disqualifying the doctor directly, and even penalizing them.
Prior to this incident, Fan Zhi had used a combination of magic and medicine to treat a small number of patients.
However, there had been two major mistakes he had made, which caused patients to pass away, and Fan Zhi was downgraded from Imperial Doctor to Doctor.
This time, the little boy had suffered such a serious injury. If Fan Zhi made another mistake, he wouldn't only be downgraded, he would directly have his doctor's qualifications revoked and put into prison.
Yao Rong's reminder didn't make Fan Zhi retreat, he just wanted to save the seriously injured boy.
The boy didn't seem to be a local of Yujing City. When Fan Zhi took the boy away, he stopped it.
When she saw Fan Zhi leave, Yun Sheng immediately followed.
It was too late for Yao Rong to stop them.
Cheng Youhai saw Fan Zhi and Yun Sheng leave one after the other, revealing a sinister smile, he quietly called his nephew Cheng Qing, "You go to the government office to secretly report, saying a doctor killed a person, the location is the 'Rejuvenate Hands' medical hall in the west of the city."

Fan Zhi hugged the boy and hurried back to the medicine hall, but after a little more than a quarter of an hour, the boy's face turned purple like an eggplant, breathing became difficult.
"Doctor Fan," behind him, Yun Sheng had run with her short legs to follow him closely.
"It's you, Yun Sheng, why did you come back here? Ah, you surely want to pack up your luggage and take your father away. As for the Dream Cloud spell, you can find a water magician in the city to do it for you," Fan Zhi had seen Yun Sheng's performance in the Medicine Assistant assessment, with her talent, she would surely make it big in the future.
If such a child followed him back to the Rejuvenate Hands Medical Center, it would be too wasteful.
Since Yao Rong said that she was willing to accept her as her disciple, then she would surely become big in the ancient medicine world.
"No, Doctor Fan, I didn't go back to pack my luggage. I won't leave the Rejuvenate Hands Medical Center either. I want to be like you, combining magic and ancient medicine," Yun Sheng raised her small face, her eyes were calm and intelligent, totally out of line with her age.
"Kid, what are you talking about? Not everyone can take my path, you also saw my situation. If I can't cure this boy, I will be put into prison tomorrow. I don't want to drag you down, you should go quickly," Fan Zhi was shocked, and moved, now he was even more reluctant to keep Yun Sheng by his side.
At the beginning, when Yun Sheng just started to work for him, he just wanted money from the child. But after living together for a while, he found that Yun Sheng was a rare good child.
Whenever he saw her, Fan Zhi was reminded of his late daughter.
He couldn't drag this child down, she had her own future.
Seeing that Yun Sheng had followed him to the medicine hall, Fan Zhi simply closed the gate and shut Yun Sheng out.
He hugged the boy and was about to enter the yard for treatment, when he heard Yun Sheng's inquiry from behind the door: "Doctor Fan, you will need to perform transcranial treatment on that boy, but you can't do that alone."
Fan Zhi, who had planned to not to allow Yun Sheng to participate in this treatment in any way, stiffened after hearing this sentence.
How could she not know his plan.
"Doctor Fan, let me in. Only I can help you with the treatment. It can't be delayed any longer. If the congestion in his brain isn't cleared soon, even if you save his life later, it could be that he won't be able to move his lower body, or will have dementia for his whole life," Yun Sheng was not easy to discourage.
The door opened with a squeak.
Fan Zhi looked like he had seen a ghost, watching Yun Sheng, for a while before asking: "How do you know the consequences for transcranial treatment failure."
"That doesn't matter, I just know, come on, or do you want him to die," Yun Sheng pushed Fan Zhi into the house. With many doubts still in his heart, he immediately seriously started the life-or-death treatment.
