Chapter 454: Lan Lin Medical Clinic

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

An Lin had planned to sneak into Xu Xiaolan’s room and snuggle up in her bed.

However, Xu Xiaolan was already awake, and she was in the process of brushing her hair in front of a mirror.

She smiled sweetly at the sight of An Lin before giving her storage ring to An Lin.

An Lin paused momentarily before deciding to accept the storage ring. Xu Xiaolan would constantly be by his side anyway, so he could buy her anything she wanted.

After breakfast, the two of them made their way to the Lan Lin Medical Clinic.

Today was the grand opening of the Lan Lin Medical Clinic, and there were already many onlookers gathered at the scene.

Xixia City was a very small city. There was hardly any entertainment or significant events in a small city like this, so the grand opening of a large medical clinic was considered to be a big event.

Bang bang…

The sound of fireworks erupted, and the lion dancers 1 began their performance.

An Lin’s head of white hair complemented his white robes perfectly, and he wore a warm, gentle smile on his face.

Xu Xiaolan was in her jade dress as usual, and there was also a warm smile on her face.

The two of them stood in front of the medical clinic like a match made in heaven.

In order to enhance the atmosphere, An Lin clicked his fingers.

A golden flaming phoenix immediately flew from his fingertips and circled around the medical clinic as it let loose clear, crisp cries of joy.

A flaming dragon appeared in the air immediately afterward, and it too circled in the sky above the clinic with vast dragon might radiating from its body.

This was a true dance of dragon and phoenix, and all the onlookers stared with wide eyes as they exclaimed in admiration.

The cultivators among the onlookers were even more shocked to see An Lin unleash such a spell technique so nonchalantly. All ill intentions they harbored toward the Lan Lin Medical Clinic were immediately erased and replaced by awe and veneration.

“Wow! The boss of the Lan Lin Medical Clinic must be some extremely powerful mighty figure! That immortal spell was extremely impressive! He must be quite skilled in the medicinal arts as well. Looks like it would be a good choice to come here if I were ever struck down by any ailments.”

“The boss’ wife is really beautiful too… She also has a great disposition. I can tell that she’s a professional just by looking at her…”

“Damn, brother, you can tell so much about the boss’ wife just from her looks? Stop daydreaming! The boss’ wife is only responsible for attending to female patients, while the boss is responsible for attending to all male and cultivator patients. You better hope the boss doesn’t bash you for what you just said!”

“I heard that it’s a lot cheaper to see doctors here than other medical clinics, and the medicine here is generally only around eighty percent of the price compared to other clinics too…”

“Really? I have to go take a look for myself!”

…

At the conclusion of the performance, the doors of Lan Lin Medical Clinic opened for the very first time. The surrounding onlookers flooded in.

An Lin and Xu Xiaolan sat at two different counters as they attended to different patients.

Aside from them, there were also three male workers and three female workers running around to help out.

Many people there were just trying to take advantage of the grand opening to buy some general medicines. This was only a small city after all, and there weren’t that many people in need of medical attention.

An Lin had taken a pills class at university, so he definitely had a good foundation as a doctor. If patients came to him without any apparent ailments, he would just unleash a basic regenerative spell technique on them, and they were good to go!

The day passed by smoothly, and it was soon closing time.

They treated a few dozen patients, and their income amounted to a few hundred taels of silver and a few dozen spirit stones.

The two of them looked at the fruits of their labors… and both of them were rather disappointed.

Xu Xiaolan furrowed her brows and muttered under her breath, “How did we only earn so little?”

An Lin sighed in resignation. “After deducting our costs, our profits don’t even amount to fifty percent.”

“Sigh… I initially opened this medical clinic to protect myself, but now…” A light blush appeared on Xu Xiaolan’s face as she continued, “I don’t have to worry about protecting myself. Do you have any thoughts or ideas?”

“How about… we open a stuffed bun shop?” An Lin suggested after a short moment of hesitation.

Xu Xiaolan was obviously aware of what stuffed buns An Lin was referring to and replied after a momentary thought, “I don’t think that’s a good idea. The important thing is that the level of consumption in Xixia City isn’t very high, so your stuffed buns won’t be able to sell for a good price. We might as well… We might as well keep the stuffed buns for ourselves…”

An Lin nodded in agreement. “Then… should we continue with our medical clinic endeavor?”

“Yeah, let’s do that.” Xu Xiaolan nodded with a smile on her face.

Thus concluded the first day of operation for the Lan Lin Medical Clinic.

The two of them held hands and walked together back to their house under the light of the setting sun.

After the first day, many of the patients who were seen at the Lan Lin Medical Clinic expressed great satisfaction with the service as well as their rate of recovery, and people swarmed to the clinic on the second day. There were even a few cultivators among those who visited the clinic to be seen for various conditions.

All the cultivators were attended to by An Lin, and he refined pills onsite with Xu Xiaolan stepping in from time to time to instruct him on temperature control and refinement methods.

There were five major ranks in pill refinement—Flame Mastery Stage, Wish Fulfilment Stage, Spirit Gathering Stage, Soul Creation Stage, and Supreme Stage.

After receiving Shen Yin’s inheritance, Xu Xiaolan was already a Soul Creation Stage pill refinement master. Although she couldn’t refine the pills herself, her knowledge in pill refinement was already top-notch, even in the entirety of the Kingdom of the Nine States. Thus, she was more than qualified to instruct An Lin in his pill refinement.

An Lin had never really listened in class, and he had never refined pills before either. However, he was a Soul Formation Intermediate Stage cultivator after all, and his cultivation base carried him to the Flame Mastery Stage of pill refinement.

Most cultivators who came to the clinic were around the Third or Fourth Stage Dao Body. It was extremely rare that cultivators of a higher rank than these would visit the clinic. First of all, there weren’t that many of them in this entire city, and secondly, it was difficult for cultivators of their level to get sick!

It was exactly because of this that An Lin’s Flame Master Stage pill refinement skills… were something he could flex about!

All the female cultivators who came to visit the clinic were entranced by An Lin’s “mastery” in pill refinement. All of them felt that this male with flowing white hair was mysterious, powerful, and most of all, extremely handsome!

Under the instruction of Xu Xiaolan, An Lin’s pill refinement skills were also progressing quickly.

The name of the Lan Lin Medical Clinic soon spread far and wide throughout the entirety of Xixia City.

There were many patients who came to the clinic in the afternoon, including a few high-ranking officials of the city.

They were all plagued with some chronic ailments and were eager to try out the Lan Lin Medical Clinic after hearing of its splendid reputation.

An Lin was able to cure the vast majority of patients quite easily. However, there were some diseases that he found incurable.

For example, a pretty female cultivator came to seek medical attention from An Lin once, but he could not, for the life of him, figure out what was wrong with her.

An Lin couldn’t help but ask the woman, “Madam, do you know what ailment you’ve been afflicted with?”

A blush appeared on the female cultivator’s face, and she glanced at An Lin before lowering her head. “Lovesickness.”

An Lin: “…”

He massaged his brows and said in an exasperated voice, “Madam, our clinic is, unfortunately, unable to cure mental ailments… If you’re really suffering from lovesickness, then go and see the male with whom you’re in love. Time, distance, social norms… none of these really matter. As long as there’s love, nothing can stop you guys!”

The female cultivator raised her head to look at An Lin with glowing eyes. “Really? He’s actually right in front of me…

“Ever since I saw you yesterday, I… I haven’t been able to get you out of my mind…”

The female cultivator’s blush deepened as she spoke, but her gaze became gentler.

“Cough…” An Lin almost choked on his own saliva.

The female stared at An Lin and said in a soft voice, “Just like you said, time, distance, social norms, none of these really matter. As long as there’s love, nothing can stop us!”

An Lin’s lips twitched after hearing these familiar words.

F*ck! Can’t you see my wife sitting right over there? Were you sent here by God to test our relationship?!

Xu Xiaolan’s hearing was quite acute, and she was already glancing in An Lin’s direction.

An Lin replied with a serious expression, “Madam, what I just said were only words for mutual lovesickness. Your lovesickness is one-sided, so I’m unable to provide a cure.”

The female cultivator’s face fell as she heard this.

However, she didn’t say anything else, and she left after a dejected nod.

Xu Xiaolan’s expression immediately softened as she began diagnosing the woman sitting across from her.

An Lin heaved a light sigh of relief. It looked like even the occupation of a doctor came with its own risk. It was all because he was too handsome!
