After successfully treating the boy suffering from a strange illness, Ye Jiuchen and Su Jinran's reputation soared like wildfire. Their deeds spread by word of mouth, as if they had wings, rapidly reaching every corner of the world. People flocked to them for treatment, the queue winding out of the clinic's entrance, stretching as far as the eye could see. Among these patients were not only ordinary people but also high-ranking officials and nobles, all eagerly seeking a glimmer of hope after hearing of Ye Jiuchen and Su Jinran's exceptional medical skills.
On this bright and sunny day, the streets were bustling with activity. A magnificently decorated carriage slowly approached, its wheels churning the stone pavement with a dull thud. The carriage stopped in front of the clinic. The horses pulling it were tall and strong, their coats glossy and their breath ruffling, indicating their distinguished lineage. The door opened, and a middle-aged man dressed in brocade robes stepped out. He looked worried, his brow furrowed, and his every gesture exuded the authority of a superior.
The middle-aged man walked straight into the clinic. Upon seeing Ye Jiuchen and Su Jinran, he didn't bother with pleasantries and anxiously pleaded, "You two miraculous doctors, please, please save my daughter!" His daughter suffered from an extremely rare eye disease. Initially, she only experienced blurred vision, but gradually, she became nearly blind. To cure his daughter, he had visited renowned doctors everywhere and tried countless prescriptions, all to no avail. Hearing of Ye Jiuchen and Su Jinran's miraculous medical skills, he came here with his last hope.
Ye Jiuchen and Su Jinran exchanged a glance, seeing the gravity in each other's eyes. They knew this was yet another enormous challenge, but with the compassion of healers, they accepted the case without hesitation. In the days that followed, they immersed themselves in the clinic's library, poring over the mountain of medical books. Each book was meticulously studied, leaving no stone unturned in its search for any potentially useful clue. The pages turned, and time slipped by unnoticed. Finally, in an ancient text, they discovered a treatment for this eye ailment, requiring deep-sea pearl powder as an ingredient.
After obtaining the clue, they inquired everywhere and, after many twists and turns, finally learned of a fishing village by the sea where someone knew the location of the pearl. So, the two hurried to the village. By the time they arrived, it was already late, and the afterglow of the setting sun shimmered on the sea. They asked the fishermen about the pearl's whereabouts, and upon hearing their story, the fishermen's faces changed drastically, their expressions filled with terror. An elderly fisherman said tremblingly, "That area is absolutely forbidden. Sea monsters often haunt it, and anyone who has gone near it has vanished without a trace."
Ye Jiuchen and Su Jinran were startled, but remembering the girl's yearning for light in her eyes, they did not hesitate. The next morning, just as dawn was breaking, they rented a small boat and resolutely set sail. The sea breeze howled, and waves crashed against the hull, splashing up layers of spray. As they ventured deeper into the sea, the sky gradually darkened, dark clouds gathered, and a storm seemed imminent.
Suddenly, a huge wave surged on the calm sea, and a serpentine sea monster burst from the water. The monster was enormous, easily over ten meters long, its scales shimmering eerily in the dim light. It opened its blood-red maw, spewing out dark green venom that dripped onto the surface with a hissing sound. Ye Jiuchen swiftly drew his longsword and charged towards the monster. His swordsmanship was fierce, each strike accompanied by a whistling sound, attempting to halt the monster's attack. Su Jinran, meanwhile, nervously observed the battle from the sidelines, her hands fumbling in her baggage for a countermeasure.
The siren's attacks grew increasingly fierce, and Ye Jiuchen gradually found himself struggling. At this critical moment, Su Jinran seized the opportunity and scattered the pre-prepared demon-repelling powder at the siren. The powder dispersed in the air, forming a cloud of smoke that enveloped the siren, causing it to roar in pain. Ye Jiuchen seized the chance to attack, his sword flashing like lightning towards the siren's vitals. After a thrilling and fierce battle, the siren finally collapsed, exhausted, and sank to the bottom of the sea.
Exhausted, the two men ignored their need for rest and continued their search for pearls in the sea. After much effort, they finally found a large, round pearl. Carrying the pearl, they rushed back to the clinic. After careful grinding and processing, they made a medicine from the pearl and fed it to the ailing girl.
A miracle occurred; the girl's eyes gradually regained their light, and her vision slowly returned. The moment she could see the world clearly again, her eyes were filled with surprise and gratitude. Her father was so moved that tears streamed down his face, and he thanked Ye Jiuchen and Su Jinran profusely.
From then on, their fame spread throughout the country and even reached neighboring countries. Countless people praised their medical skills and regarded them as saviors. However, faced with this glory and praise, Ye Jiuchen and Su Jinran always maintained a humble heart. They continued to work at their clinic, treating everyone with utmost care, whether they were poor commoners or wealthy officials, old or young. They exemplified the benevolence of healers through their actions, becoming legendary medical masters, forever remembered in people's hearts.
Just as Su Jinran was focused on searching for medicinal herbs, her foot suddenly slipped, accidentally triggering a hidden mechanism in the ground. With a creak, a secret door slowly opened. In an instant, golden light flashed inside, the intense glare blinding them. Once their eyes adjusted, they were astonished to find a large quantity of rare medicinal herbs stored within. Some shimmered with an unusual luster, others emitted a delicate fragrance. And the crucial herb they had been searching for lay quietly among them.
Su Jinran was overjoyed, almost to the point of tears. She quickly gathered the medicinal herbs and rushed back to the clinic with Ye Jiuchen. Upon returning, Su Jinran didn't dare to delay for a moment and immediately threw herself into the work of preparing medicine to save lives. She meticulously prepared the medicine according to the secret recipes in the medical books and personally fed it to the patients.
Under Su Jinran's meticulous treatment, the patients gradually showed signs of improvement. The erythema slowly subsided, the high fever subsided, and one by one, the patients were pulled back from the brink of death. As the patients recovered one by one, Su Jinran's reputation soared, spreading throughout the entire city. People were deeply grateful to her, regarding her as their savior, and she became the most respected doctor in the city.
Having weathered this storm, Su Jinran and Ye Jiuchen are even more determined to explore and advance on their medical journey. Hand in hand, they continue to help more people, using their medical skills and compassion to bring warmth and hope to the world, writing their own legendary medical story.
