The choice between three hospitals wasn’t easy. It seemed like the eastern one was the most obvious choice for someone residing in the east... but it was mainly built and led by those in the peaks outside, so what did it have to do with him?

Going to the northern hospital would be an easy choice, but Fengyu remembered the difficulty of working in large companies in his past life...

Everything has rules and regulations, and it’s extremely difficult to make acquaintances when you’re constantly changing the place you’re working, only later gaining a permanent team, which is still questionable.

Rather than being commanded around so much, Fengyu thought that he might as well try out the other two.

The Spirit Beast Hospital seemed fine, but who knows how the owners behind it treated human doctors? They might not appreciate his hard work, or leave him no way to climb.

In the end, the position he gained might be called ’guest doctor’, but in fact, there were ranks to it.

Although he had just told himself off for thinking too much about the future and neglecting the current, now he felt that the choice of hospital was extremely important for the future he’s thinking about, and he simply couldn’t make a choice only considering current benefits and neglecting his own future.

"No wait, why do I have to choose right away? I can just visit them and see which one’s best!" Fengyu exclaimed, suddenly feeling that he was too used to thinking about things instead of trying them out before making a choice.

"Zimu, let’s go and visit the three hospitals!" Fengyu said to Zimu, who was once again dozing off during his thoughts.

"Quack? Oh! Let’s do so!" Zimu agreed instantly, looking excitedly at Fengyu, telling him to quickly make his ’move’.

Fengyu delayed it no more and directly turned to the main road, calling forth the map he had seen in his mind, which directed him to a large street leading out of the main street.

Following it, he slowly saw a shift in the surrounding shops.

They were no longer general stores but various apothecaries.

Though there was a similar vibe – every store had its own unique items while also selling the most common ones.

Occasionally he would see smaller alleyways leading further inside, with signs hanging at the start of each alleyway, names with various titles and ’doctor’s office’ at the end.

Entering one of them, he saw a somewhat special scene – left and right were different smaller offices, with other names on them.

At the end of the alleyway there was a three-story doctor’s office, with a large sign in front, in the shape of a small monument, on which the specifications of this doctor’s office were inscribed.

’Oh, so this place is basically a whole lineage? A main doctor’s office, then smaller ones probably owned by disciples... the lineage here is so orderly!’ Fengyu was surprised at this but didn’t enter, finding it rather useless.

This was like a mini-hospital!

Since you don’t want to join hospitals, what’s the use of creating a smaller hospital?

Isn’t it just because your authority in the hospital is too low, so you want to become your own chief?

But the expenses are extremely high according to what he heard, so what was the point of doing this?

Fengyu knew the vanity of humans, and he admitted that he was also vain in some part, but he would never let his vanity control his path.

Either there was a real benefit in doing this, or these people are simply obsessed with vanity!

He left the alley and walked down the main road –

At the end of this road, there was a large opening to an extremely large space!

The plaza alone was larger than the alleyways, there was bright light cascading from the sky, and in the middle of the plaza was a large pond with various stone statues of peaks!

"The Thousand Peaks Monument!" he read the inscribed name on the pond’s walls, a look of surprise appearing on his face.

’Heh,’ he chuckled when he saw it, what a beautiful place!

But in that instant, the vanity in his heart instantly made him want to leave –

Such a luxurious design, combined with his understanding of the hospital and the apparent lack of a hospital in the south... he could instantly see that this hospital was very likely an ’elite hospital’ with the focus on tending to those elites in the east and the family lineages in the south!

He stood where he was, considering whether to go in or not.

"Zimu, what do you think about this place?" 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

"Quack, it’s mixed. There is some peace, but not much." Zimu quacked after sensing this area.

"Never mind, there is no need to force it!" Fengyu rejected entering it after hearing it...

He was vain, extremely so!

Working in such a place, there were certainly various benefits, but also huge dangers –

First, the doctor is dedicated to the patient, lowering himself from a professional to a servant.

Second, you have to consider the patient in everything. The previous painful yet effective method couldn’t be used even in extreme cases, and wealthy young masters would never agree to such treatment.

Third, the importance of lineage in such places was extremely important. If your three generations haven’t all been doctors, then you can forget gaining a foothold, at most becoming a working force without rewards.

...

Fengyu moved rapidly, right away leaving and going to the north through the road around the inner city.

He had once asked and was told that he could enter the inner city with his token, but he didn’t have a chance yet, so he would do it at a later time.

Going north, Fengyu felt an increase in the pressure around him.

The cultivators who were either at the Qi Refining realm or had hidden their cultivation didn’t do so here, releasing their pressure as much as they wanted...

Fengyu observed his surroundings, and was surprised to actually see some humans with beast characteristics!
