"How much would you pay for a complete duck eggshell?" Fengyu asked while he was at it.

The pharmacist thought for a moment before replying, "The complete duck eggshell of an egg that gave birth to a duck can be sold for three spirit stones per eggshell, while normal duck eggshells... ten of them can be sold for three spirit stones too." The pharmacist made a rather generous offer, earning not much from the raw price.

Fengyu nodded, thinking he’d bring the spatial bag containing the duck eggshells next time.

He looked around a bit more before leaving the garden and bidding farewell.

Walking on the street again, he didn’t wander around as much and instead walked straight down the street to its end.

The apothecaries he passed by gradually became larger and more luxurious while the number of people also increased.

Carriages drove with urgent speed in the middle of the street, keeping a carriage’s width open left and right, ensuring safety, but still causing some commotion.

Fengyu walked by fast as he saw a carriage rushing in the middle lane, seemingly a lane open specifically for emergencies. No one drove on this lane from the street’s end, only some carriages drove in from the main street.

A familiar feeling appeared in his mind as he looked at these, as if he saw ambulances driving by rapidly, trying to deliver urgent patients to the hospital.

Feeling this urgency, he became faster and faster until he nearly ran to the hospital, his senses telling him that something bad was about to happen.

"Quack!" a sound escaped his arms, his steps suddenly halting.

"Uh? Ah, I’m... I’m being carried away," Fengyu stopped, looking at the duck in his arms while glancing at the urgent carriages through the peripheral area of his eyes.

A sense of urgency appeared, it was the feeling he felt when he drove with his car right after the ambulance took away his father to the hospital.

Every second counted, every interruption would be deadly, yet now...

"Alas, times pass but people don’t change much. I’m still carried away when I feel this! Never mind, let’s just get to the hospital quickly and see," Fengyu said as he continued walking, patting Zimu’s head who looked worriedly at him.

His steps were fast but no longer hurried, calmly arriving at the grand plaza of the hospital.

There was also a pond and a statue here, but at the same time, the scene was bustling with people and the three carriage lanes led right to the left of the hospital, where staff were already waiting.

This bustling scene of people with various smells of herbs and pills, being bandaged and walking slowly, was exactly what he imagined a hospital should look like.

Going around the pond, he saw a grand five story building, a surprising sight. For this building wasn’t a thinning pagoda, it was a large straight building where each floor was used to the greatest extent.

It was a masterpiece of architecture and engineering, drawing people.

Walking up a few stairs, he saw cultivators rushing from the left, carrying people into the hospital through a side door below.

From inside the main entrance he could see the side door leading to the emergency care unit.

Other cultivators simply left their carriages normally and walked up the main entrance to ask the receptionist for directions.

The inside of this hospital was surprisingly similar to modern hospitals - white walls and floors, only the ceilings contained green light. He felt a subtle energy falling from the ceiling, as if a rain of vitality was constantly hitting his body and nourishing it...

Shock couldn’t describe the feeling of such a place.

It was a true masterpiece in every way.

Walking by the reception, he didn’t ask for direction but simply followed the arrows around.

First going to the emergency care unit, he only stood at the side of the door, peering in but not entering.

Such a place was always extremely busy and walking in randomly might disrupt people’s rhythm or stand in people’s way. He didn’t dare do so, so he left and walked down the path to other parts of the hospital.

He was surprised to see that there were only two units on the first floor - the emergency unit and the general ward, both of which were very large, especially the latter. People with all kinds of ailments went there to get treatment, which happened rather quickly before they were sent away. The sheer number of people made Fengyu realise that the population of the Grand Gate was likely extreme - simply because there was theoretically no limit to how many fields there were outside the fifty districts of the north - north.

Going up the second floor, he saw that this floor was also dedicated to two wards - the Battle Wound Ward and Special Care Ward. The former was easily understood. Any wound created by battle would be treated here. The latter on the other hand was a bit special, and even when Fengyu went there, he couldn’t categorise people.

There were those whose eyes suddenly went blind, but also those who had lost their limbs. It seemed to contain people with special ailments that can’t be treated easily.

Going up another floor, the structure was once again the same with two wards. One ward was the ’Long-Time Treatment Ward’ and the other was the Pregnancy and Birth Ward. Both names were clear, and it seemed like they fit well together.

He went up another floor and saw that this time, there was no single large ward, but dozens of smaller wards, each ward specific, such as ’Lung Treatment Ward’, ’Bone Regrowth Ward’, ’Finger Dantian Repairing Ward’ and so on. He could only guess that these were likely connected to the general ward on the first floor, likely where patients with easy ailments were healed, those with difficult ailments were sent to the special ward, and those with ailments that require specialised help would be sent to the fourth floor.

The whole hospital was very orderly and gave a sense of serenity, connecting everything.

Yet when Fengyu looked at it, he sighed.

Everything was split so well, wouldn’t that be forcing doctors to become specialised doctors or only generalised doctors?

His own healing method, to be honest, could fit pretty much all wards here...
