Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife-Chapter 2076 - 554: Opening Clinics and Academies (Explosion Update 8)

"Is it possible that Master is trying to find me a Mistress?" An Yiqing’s eyes gleamed.

Ye Chenghong spat out a mouthful of tea, glaring at An Yiqing furiously, his nostrils flaring in anger.

"You little rascal, what nonsense are you talking about!" he grumbled, placing the teacup heavily on the table. "The medical exchange competition just concluded, and the Medicine Sect has earned plenty of prestige. I discussed it with your Senior Uncles and We aim to establish a hospital school in Xuanjin. It can treat and save lives and promote the authentic Xuanjin Ancient Medicine - a win-win situation."

Actually, this idea had existed a few years ago, but back then, the Medicine Sect was still in a semi-secluded state, known only in the Ancient Martial World and high circles. Opening a hospital school domestically lacked public acceptance. But now it’s different. After the medical exchange competition, the Medicine Sect’s reputation soared, and even common people online were requesting the Medicine Sect to open a hospital to treat people.

No matter when, people generally trust authority more.

In this situation, the idea from a few years ago was put back on the agenda by Ye Chenghong and the four Great Elders.

An Yiqing lowered her gaze, quickly analyzing the pros and cons of the matter thoroughly. After a while, she looked up, right into Ye Chenghong’s eyes filled with expectation and anxiety.

Inwardly, An Yiqing smiled. Her Master completely relied on her.

"Master, this is a good thing, naturally it can be done."

Upon hearing this, Ye Chenghong immediately felt relieved. He didn’t know when it started, but it seemed as if he had turned into a little child, and his disciple’s opinion had become the most important.

Smiling, Ye Chenghong felt reassured.

"But Master, although this is a good matter, I have a few suggestions."

Ye Chenghong nodded, "Go ahead."

An Yiqing pondered for a moment, her soft voice sounding, "The Medicine Sect can open hospitals and schools, but it’s about quality, not quantity. I don’t recommend setting up so many branch clinics like other private hospitals. More branches mean more people, which also means more complexity and challenges in management. I think instead of opening large hospitals, we should consider clinics. Doctors should come from the Medicine Sect, not accepting practitioners outside the sect. This way, both medical ethics and skills can be guaranteed. What do you think?"

Ye Chenghong nodded in strong agreement, "I’ve been thinking the same. While with the current financial strength and fame of the Medicine Sect, opening large chain hospitals would be more economically rewarding, it distorts the aim of treating and saving lives. It would be better to establish a few small clinics which would be easier to manage and maintain medical standards."

"Exactly. I initially suggest opening a clinic in Xuandu City to test the waters. After some time, we can summarize the areas that need improvement. As for the school, Master, I suggest talking with the state. After all, the public is more receptive to schools acknowledged by the state. However, the school need not be too large. These days, most medical students view medical studies merely as a meal ticket. Such individuals can go to ordinary universities. What we need are genuine doctors. Students admitted must be assessed in terms of medical ethics and character, and once approved, directly inducted into the Medicine Sect. What do you think?"

Ye Chenghong’s eyes brightened as he listened and eventually slapped the table in approval. He had initially thought of opening a school to promote Xuanjin Ancient Medicine, but An Yiqing’s idea not only attracted more medical practitioners but also expanded the Medicine Sect’s power. Two birds with one stone, truly fantastic!

However...

Ye Chenghong suddenly frowned, "Girl, if we follow your method, the number of talents absorbed by the school would surely be limited, making it less noticeable. Wouldn’t this affect the promotion of authentic Xuanjin Ancient Medicine?"

An Yiqing glanced at Ye Chenghong and gave a mysterious smile.

"Master, there are plenty of ways to promote Xuanjin Ancient Medicine. Ultimately, the primary purpose of opening the school should be to absorb talent."

"Oh? What ways?"

An Yiqing blinked, "With so many renowned schools in Xuanjin, wouldn’t it be better for Master to organize a lecture at one school every month? With the current fame of the Medicine Sect, do you think any school would turn you away? Even if you started your school, how many students could you realistically enroll? One lecture a month, twelve schools in a year, countless medical students! Cherry-picking the best to impart knowledge, I believe everything exerts influence and takes effect bit by bit."

Ye Chenghong suddenly understood; his thinking had been too narrow. Going to universities to give lectures and spread the culture of ancient medicine is the best way!

"I’ll notify your four Senior Uncles immediately to convene a meeting! Let’s all discuss and study this together!"

With that, the usually composed Ye Chenghong quickly rushed out. As An Yiqing watched her master’s retreating figure, she grinned with satisfaction.

She naturally knew Ye Chenghong’s thoughts over the years, to promote the culture of ancient medicine, for everyone to acknowledge and accept ancient medicine - this had been his long-standing wish. Now, everything was ready, just waiting for that push.

The four Great Elders, upon hearing Ye Chenghong’s brief explanation, were immediately invigorated. This usually slow-moving bunch became suddenly brisk.

"Girl Qing! Tell us your thoughts again!" The straightforward Second Elder excitedly demanded.

The other three elders stared at An Yiqing with excitement, as if expecting her to reveal some magic. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Smiling, An Yiqing shook her head and reorganized her thoughts, recounting them verbatim to the elders.

"Good! What a great idea! Opening a school to absorb fresh blood into the Medicine Sect, what a terrific plan!" The Great Elder exclaimed joyfully, slapping his thigh with a wide smile.

"Indeed, why didn’t we think of the university lectures before? Young people do have inventive ideas, Girl Qing is impressive!" The Third Elder praised with a twinkle in his eye, nodding jovially at An Yiqing with a thumbs up.

The other two elders also applauded in agreement. Establishing clinics to treat and save lives. Opening a school to absorb fresh blood. University lectures to promote Xuanjin Ancient Medicine.

With a three-pronged approach, the Medicine Sect was ready to soar.

Thus, the decision was made. As the next Leader of the Medicine Sect, An Yiqing naturally stepped forward to take charge of this matter. Of course, it wasn’t just her initiative; the Medicine Sect’s disciples, such as Nie Yuan and Qin Feng, joined in upon hearing the news, each assuming a role to contribute to the establishment of the Xuandu clinic headquarters.

In April, everything was progressing in an orderly fashion. At this time, Gu Yelin’s Second Aunt Chen Fang, Kong Shi, and Old Lady An, along with the couple Gu Yelin and An Yiqing, were visiting several bridal studios in Xuandu City’s center, finalizing their decision for the wedding photoshoot.
