Cultivation till the end of time

Duoduo was very puzzled about the decline of the Wizards Guild. The Pharmacists Association looked very wealthy, but wizards who had a higher status than pharmacists were so poor that they could only afford to light oil lamps?

Duoduo remembered that the last time he went to the Pharmacist Association, the lighting there seemed to be lighting tools activated by magic, which was really a world of difference compared to the primitive lighting tools used here.

When the old man lit up all the wall lamps in the room, the room instantly became bright.

Duoduo raised her eyes and secretly observed everything in the room. The old man said at this time: "Okay, girl, come over for the test."

Duoduo stopped his inquiring gaze, looked in the direction of the old man, and asked doubtfully: "Take the test here? Where is the examiner?"

The old man first tidied up his appearance, which was actually just to straighten his hair, and then he raised his head and chest proudly and said: "I am the examiner here."

[?_??]Who! ? Who is the examiner? Did I hear correctly?

Duoduo thought he had misheard, so he scratched his ears and asked again: "Excuse me, who is the examiner?"

The old man was a little angry when he saw Duoduo's attitude. He raised his voice significantly and emphasized again: "I am the examiner."

Duoduo was silent for a while, then he picked up Taowu and suddenly turned around and left, saying as he walked: "Excuse me, I may have come to the wrong place."

Seeing that the rare candidate was about to leave, the old man didn't even have time to get angry, and hurriedly chased after him and stopped Duoduo.

He asked angrily: "Why are you running? Aren't you here to take the wizard qualification exam?"

Duoduo couldn't help but confirm again: "Are you really a wizard guild here?"

The old man knew why Duoduo asked this, and he uttered a word in embarrassment: "Yes."

Duoduo was silent again, but this time she didn't turn around and run away without saying a word.

She sighed depressedly and walked back into the room.

Duoduo first placed Taowu outside the door, and she used her telepathy to tell Taowu to wait for her in the hall.

Taowu was not very interested in the content of the test and walked out obediently.

Duoduo followed the old man's instructions and sat in the designated seat in the room.

The old man closed the door, sat opposite her, and introduced the content of the assessment: "The content of the assessment is very simple, cure my illness, and based on the degree of recovery from my illness, I will grant you a qualification certificate of the same level.

The wizard qualification certificate is divided into five levels, just like the pharmacist qualification certificate: iron, bronze, silver, gold and platinum.

As long as you can heal me, you can get the highest level platinum qualification certificate.

As long as you pass this certificate, you will be respected by people all over the continent.

Any questions? Ask them now.”

Duoduo raised his eyebrows and guessed: "Could it be that all branches of the Wizard Guild are staffed by patients like you? This is to set the assessment content for people like me who come to take the assessment.

I'm just asking, why is the Wizard Guild so poor? Isn't it said that wizards have a high status, so why is the Wizard Guild so poor? "

The old man said sadly: "The Wizard Guild is just an organization used to screen wizard talents. It is the wizards who make money, not the guild.

It's really frustrating to say, the original concept of the Wizards Guild was to cultivate talents, but I don't know since when, the guild gradually became an institution for screening talents.

The guild is now being held together by a few highly respected platinum wizards. After the other wizards have completed the assessment, they will open their own witch clinics or become private witch doctors for nobles or royal families.

They don’t care about the guild, they just care about making money.” The old man became more and more angry, and his voice gradually became louder.

Later, I realized that I had gone off topic and returned to the topic of assessment.

"Anyway, every wizard guild will be supervised by a patient like me who is seriously ill. After the assessment, you will be given the corresponding qualification certificate based on the degree of control of my illness."

"How do you determine what level of wizard I am? Do you have the final say on the standard? Or does the guild have its own set of standards?"

"I decide the standards, but I won't let you down. I'm a wizard myself, but I just got some intractable diseases that I can't cure.

I can still tell whether you know witchcraft or not, and the same goes for examiners from other wizard guilds.

Actually, we are all witch doctors, but unfortunately we don’t have the ability to treat ourselves. The elders sympathized with us and let us become examiners, allowing us to live on a meager income.

If you are lucky, you may meet a good seedling who can heal you. Not only will this add talent to the Wizard Guild, but it will also allow you to recover, killing two birds with one stone."

Duoduo was a little confused. "Since you are all wizards, why don't you practice medicine to make money while looking for ways to treat yourself?"

"It's obvious that you are not familiar with the treaty. The wizard treaty stipulates that if a wizard becomes a patient and cannot heal himself, then the wizard's right to heal others can only be suspended.

How can a wizard cure other patients if he can't even cure himself?"

Duoduo nodded in understanding, not wasting any more time, and urged: "I'm in a hurry, why don't we start the assessment first? Please extend your hand."

The old man muttered to himself: "In a hurry? Treatment won't work immediately. Even if we are in a hurry, we have to observe the patient for a day or two before the condition can be alleviated.

Also, what kind of weird problem is this? Why do you need to stretch out your hand to heal someone? Do you know how to heal?"

Although the old man kept complaining, and even complained very loudly, he still did what he was told obediently.

The wizard's healing method is different from Duoduo's. It does not include observation, auscultation, questioning, and palpation. The wizard simply taps the patient's forehead with his index finger, uses magic to probe into the patient's body, and examines the patient's body.

So Duoduo's pulse taking was inappropriate in the old man's eyes, which is why he said those words just now.

Duoduo ignored his complaints and calmly took his pulse, occasionally asking him to stick out his tongue or flip up his eyelids, which made the old man even more suspicious that he had encountered a charlatan.

In fact, when Duoduo first met the old man, she had already discovered from his expression that he was poisoned, but this kind of poison was something she had never seen before.

Duoduo asked him some questions, "Where did you go before you got sick? What did you eat or drink? Or what did you come into contact with? What abnormalities occurred after you got sick?"

After hearing Duoduo mention these reliable questions, the old man felt relieved and answered her questions honestly.

“Before I got sick, I went into the Magic Forest. While collecting herbs, I ate some wild fruits and drank some river water. I brought my own dry food with me.

I checked those wild fruits and they are the ones that can be found in ordinary mountains and wilds. The river water is also fine. All the small and big animals nearby drink from it, but they don't get sick and are running around the mountain in full energy.

After I got sick, I felt listless, sleepy, and sick. My internal organs felt like they were being cut by a knife and were extremely painful. Recently, I have been suffering from night sweats and insomnia. You can tell how long I haven't slept well by looking at my eye bags.

I just managed to fall asleep and you came.” Finally, the old man complained that insomnia was driving him crazy.

Duoduo was taking his pulse carefully and had no time to pay attention to his complaints. He had been complaining since a while ago. If she paid attention to him every time, she would not be able to work.

It is understandable that the elderly like to nag, so just turn a blind eye to the complaints against them.

Duoduo discovered that although she had never seen the poison in the old man's body before, she had seen similar poisons before, and the symptoms were very similar to this one.

Duoduo planned to use the method of detoxifying that poison to try to detoxify the old man.

Duoduo asked the nagging old man to take off his shirt and sit in front of her.

"What! Take off your clothes. Are you going to heal me or molest me?"

Duoduo didn't like what he heard and couldn't help but retort: ​​"Look at yourself in the mirror. You are old and ugly. Why don't I find a young and handsome guy instead of an old man like you?

Stop dilly-dallying and take it off quickly. I told you I'm in a hurry and don't have time to waste on you."

While Duoduo was speaking, he reached into his waist bag with his right hand and pretended to take out a set of silver needles, but he was actually taking them out from the storage ring.

She took the oil lamp that the old man had brought in and placed it on the table beside her. She then spread out the acupuncture bag containing the silver needles, took out a silver needle from it, and warmed it over the flame of the oil lamp.

The old man wanted to continue protesting, but was frightened by the silver needle that Qiu Tong took out.

He stammered, "Girl...girl, I was just...talking nonsense just now, don't...torture me..." After saying this, he couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

The old man thought Duoduo was going to prick him with silver needles, but he was not wrong, because acupuncture involves needles, but it was different from what he imagined.

There is no acupuncture treatment in this world. Generally, silver needles are used as punishment during beatings and torture. So the old man had many misunderstandings and thought she was going to torture him.

Duoduo didn't waste time talking to him and directly stabbed the old man in the middle of his head with a needle, scaring the old man so much that he closed his eyes and screamed.
