Doctor’s Rebirth

Chapter 21.2

CONTINUATION

It really feels like a martial arts film or drama.

The interior of the building was elegant.

While the buildings in the Cloud Dragon district were practical to the point of being austere, this place had a certain charm.

Even the eaves were intricately carved with a playful dragon, and various patterns were carved on the pillars of the main gate.

Although it was difficult to see just by looking, the carvings were made shallow so that you could feel them when touched.

It could be mistaken for excessive ornamentation, but by selectively emphasizing certain aspects and toning down others, it truly looked luxurious.

As we opened the main gate and entered, servants welcomed us.

Bring the carriage inside, and make sure the horses are well-fed.

Yooho gave such instructions to the servants.

Before heading to the stable, I saw a large building with several aviaries, each containing various pigeons perched in them. What stood out was the mixture of hawks and crows among them.

A lot of messengers have arrived. Have you sorted out the letters?

Jin Cheon-hee thought to herself as he looked at Yooho.

Those must be the messenger pigeons mentioned in novels. Its fascinating to see them in person.

Jeonseo-gu

Known as messenger pigeons, refers to trained birds that transport letters and messages. Since the flying speed of these animals is faster than humans, using trained birds for communication has been a common theme in martial arts novels.

While Jin Cheon-hee was fascinated by this, a polite response was given to Yoohos question.

Yes, Master Yooho. A messenger from Suramun and the White Dragon Pavilion arrived simultaneously. It seems both were injured in combat situations.

As the man politely presented the neatly folded letter, Baek Rin Eui-seon, who had been listening to the conversation, spoke up.

Suramun and the White Dragon Pavilion have a bad relationship, and its a big deal.

Top of Form

While Jin Cheon-hee was watching this, Yooho opened the letter first. After reading, he furrowed his brows in apparent embarrassment.

Both sides want to receive medical treatment directly. May I permit it?

Regarding the injuries?

Here they are.

Baek Rin Eui-seon read both letters carefully.

The letters included details about how they were injured, the types of injuries, and a medical opinion written by the respective doctors at the scene.

The practitioner from Suramun seems to have a simple injury, so they should recover quickly. However, it seems there is an issue with the lady from the White Dragon Pavilion. Since Suramun uses the poison technique called Sura Dokgong, its fortunate that his enlightenment is shallow. It should be manageable by the hands of a local physician.

In a nonchalant manner, Baek Rin Eui-seon casually assessed the martial arts skills of the Su-ra Clans martial artist. Having done so, he drew a conclusion.

Since both patients may worsen their injuries, its advisable for them not to move. Instead, respond by stating that. Also, prepare and send prescriptions for Geumchangyak (a type of medicinal potion) and medications necessary for internal injuries. The ingredients arent too difficult to find, so they should be able to make them at their clinic.

Yooho asked.

Who should we send first?

Lets handle the lady first. The victor is probably the lady. She even attacked after winning, and it seems shes more seriously injured due to the poison.

How do you know that?

Jin Cheon-hee stared at him. Baek Rin Eui-seon chuckled.

The practitioner from Suramun was touched by the ladys sword on the arm, but it wasnt fatal. The lady from the White Dragon Pavilion gave her left arm and aimed for the neck. The reason the practitioner survived is that the lady from Changyong Pavilion stopped making new karmic bonds.

It might be the one who gets more injured wins.

Its similar to a game of baduk. As long as you protect the king until the end, you win.

Then the White Dragon Pavilions hawk flew away with a letter tied to its ankle, and Suramuns crow followed next.

Okay, lets go in.

At Baek Rin Eui-seons urging, Jin Cheon-hee quickly replied.

Yes, Master.

Wow, that was an interesting sight. In modern terms, is it like internet telemedicine? Well, it makes sense. Since the White Dragon Clinic is one of the three major medical Clinics in the world, its reasonable for them to exchange information.

The medical pavilions of the Gangho interact around White Dragon Clinic.

People continuously get injured and fall ill because they are alive.

Those in the martial arts world who pick up the sword are even more likely to encounter such situations. Whether its with blood or in a fierce battle, many end up getting hurt or killed. They may suffer injuries, encounter trouble on the road, pick up strange things, and fall ill.

In those moments, they call for physicians. Thats why exchanging information is crucial among regional medical pavilions. However, medical knowledge ultimately involves the wisdom of vision.

Just as martial arts are not easily taught unless one possesses innate qualities, medical knowledge is not easily shared. However, there are many people in the martial arts world suffering from conflicts leading to death or groaning due to illnesses. As a result, organizations of physicians, similar to the martial arts factions, were established long ago.

That is the so-called Medical Clinics.

It is a faction of physicians. Under its command, there are numerous branch pavilions. Generally, they are called Pavilion, named after the region where the clinic is located.

Of course, there are places that operate independently without belonging to any Medical Clinic but they are unverified places. However, if you have money, you seek out physicians from the Medical Clinic.

Physicians belonging to Medical Clinic quickly exchange their medical skills, knowledge, and information through the faction. Also, when blood feuds arise between factions, there may be a need to request assistance from physicians in other regions.

In the midst of this, Medical Clinic plays the role of gathering information, dispatching physicians to needed places.

Just as there are factions in the martial arts world and both main and branch, here too, there is Medical Clinic, divided into those who remain, specializing in research and those who return to their pavilions as practicing physicians.

Medical Clinic distributes such information through messenger pigeons or letters, providing herbal medicine that local clinics usually cannot obtain. And most importantly, they publish medical reports.
