Chapter 680: Chapter 680: Village Doctor
Alexander White came back to life, and the impact of this event on the entire village was enormous, with the villagers’ eyes filled with awe as they looked at Peter Brown.
After helping Alexander White’s family up, Peter was also very happy, as it proved that his inheritance was indeed powerful, and that he has his own place in the Cultivation World.
Originally, Peter was worried that his skills were somewhat lacking after arriving in the Cultivation World and that he might not be able to adapt. Now he was able to relax.
"Not bad, your medical skills may not be alchemy, but they are quite impressive. There are many people in the Cultivation World who can’t afford Elixirs. With your medicine, I believe there’s a huge market for it," said Cedric Lee, looking at Peter with a sense of admiration.
It was not easy to earn cultivation coins - even with the status of a police officer, they only received three to four thousand coins a month. The pill that was fed to Alexander White was not entry-level, but it still cost more than a hundred cultivation coins. Entry-level pills were even more expensive. Cedric Lee had intended to save the pill for emergencies, but he decided to use it to save a life.
"It might be because of the divine liquid from my master; otherwise, the medicine wouldn’t have such a good effect," said Peter hurriedly.
After smelling the medicine bottle handed over by Peter, Cedric Lee wondered, "This medicine?"
There seemed to be a drop left inside.
Smiling, Peter said, "If you like it, take it. You’ve spent a pill to save a life."
After hesitating for a while, Cedric Lee accepted the offer and said, "Alright then, I won’t be polite. Peter, if you ever need anything in County Town, feel free to ask."
Peter nodded with a smile.
The Concentrated Spirit Liquid was not something ordinary. Even if it was too good, it was worthwhile if it could be used to befriend people like Cedric Lee.
At this point, Peter was also considering whether to find a secluded mountain and create a fake dwelling area. Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain things if everyone asked about it in the future.
"Divine Doctor, you saved our whole family. If you need a servant girl, we’ll offer you our daughter," said Alexander White, looking at Peter.
As Peter glanced at Alexander’s daughter, he saw a beautiful young girl.
At this point, Levi West laughed and said to Alexander White, "Good idea, Alexander! You’re trying to find a good place for your daughter now that you see Peter’s prospects."
Feeling embarrassed, Alexander White replied, "I am truly grateful to Divine Doctor Wang."
Levi West looked at Peter and said, "Peter, as you know the situation in our village, everyone is struggling for food. With your skills, you won’t be short of money. Please try to help everyone if you can."
Peter looked around at everyone and said, "I do need help with my Spirit Field. Please don’t refuse when the time comes."
"Don’t worry, Divine Doctor. As long as you call on us, who wouldn’t help?"
The villagers all showed smiles on their faces.
Looking at Alexander White, Peter said, "My land also needs someone to manage it. If your family doesn’t mind, you can help me manage it. What do you think?"
Alexander White’s face showed excitement as he replied, "Don’t worry, I’ll make sure to take good care of the Spirit Field."
After everyone dispersed, Peter joined Levi West and sat down in his house.
At this time, Levi West’s face showed a little more smile as he said, "Peter, I have something to discuss with you."
Cedric Lee and Reece Pan had gone to patrol the mountain at this time, and they also wanted to clean up the mountain as soon as possible.
"Go ahead, village chief," Peter said, not knowing what Levi West wanted to say.
After some hesitation, Levi West said, "With your skills, people will appreciate you wherever you go, and even in County Town, there should be no problem opening a medical clinic. I was just wondering if you could stay in our village for a while as the village doctor."
"Village doctor?" Peter looked at Levi West, puzzled.
Levi West explained, "In the Cultivation World, villages generally have village doctors. You don’t know, but when villagers have an illness, it’s not cost-effective for them to go to the County Town for treatment. For serious illnesses, they don’t have the money, and even if they do, it’s not guaranteed that they’ll be cured. Therefore, the importance of a village doctor in a village is indescribable. Our village has never had a village doctor, which has led to a high rate of casualties among the villagers."
Peter nodded slightly and said, "Even though the mortals in the Cultivation World are nourished by spiritual energy and have higher physical fitness, the pathogens here are also much stronger."
Levi West asked, "Pathogens?" He was somewhat confused.
Peter had no choice but to say, "Viruses."
Levi West nodded and said, "Exactly. Take today’s situation with Alexander White for example. His injury, in the hands of a village doctor, would be almost like a death sentence, with no chance of recovery. If he had been sent to a clinic in County Town, at least one entry-level Healing Injury Pill would be needed to cure him, and he might not even make it to the County Town alive. Peter, you were able to treat him, which could be said to have saved Alexander White’s entire family."
"So, what are the requirements for a village doctor?" Peter asked.
After considering for a moment, Peter decided that it wouldn’t be a bad idea for him to be the village doctor since the passage to the Land of Decay that brought him to the Cultivation World was very important to him. No matter where he went in the future, he should establish a base here, so living in this village was inevitable. As long as the others needed a village doctor, he could take up the role.
Hearing Peter’s inquiry about the requirements of a village doctor, Levi West was delighted and said, "A village doctor is supported by the county. As long as you serve as a village doctor and can be of service to the villagers, you get a monthly subsidy of 1,000 cultivation coins from the county. It’s like being a semi-official."
A cultivation coin subsidy, too?
Peter laughed and nodded, "I will mostly be living here in the future, so I don’t mind being a village doctor. However, I will be away or in closed-door cultivation frequently."
"No problem. Just you being the village doctor is enough. With you as the village doctor, the lives of the villagers will be greatly improved."
After thinking for a moment, Peter said, "Although I won’t be able to treat patients often, I can teach a few people and let them have the ability to treat illnesses. They can treat patients regularly."
Now even more excited, Levi West said, "That’s great! If that’s the case, you’ll be providing jobs for many people. I believe many will be eager to learn medicine from you."
As Cedric Lee and Reece Pan returned, they heard Peter’s decision. Reece Pan said, "Your idea is excellent! We will handle the certification of the village doctor, and with you practicing medicine here, I believe there will be more security for people living here."
Cedric Lee nodded and added, "This is a good thing. After all, the medical clinics in County Town are too competitive. They have Alchemists, making it impossible for you to compete against them."
