Chapter 1968 Questions and Answers

Alex and only one other man waited in the room allocated for people taking the physician's test.

"Not many people take this test, do they?" the other man said.

"I suppose not," Alex answered.

They went back to not talking for a while until the door opened and a woman walked in, wearing a leaf-shaped blue pendant on his neck that read 'Superior Immortal Physician'.

The woman was old with gray hair streaked throughout her brown hair that was folded into a bun.

"Two of you, huh? More than I thought there would be here," she said, walking in slowly.

Alex could feel the old woman's cultivation base. She was as strong, if not stronger than most people he had met until now. In fact, she was as strong as the three sect master triplets.

"Show me your registration slips and we can start."

Alex and the other man quickly handed their talismans and the woman looked through it all.

After carefully checking their slips, she handed them back and produced two talismans. She handed both the talisman over to Alex and the other man.

"You have 30 minutes to answer as many of these questions as you can. Start."

Both Alex and the other man weren't prepared for this at all. The two of them had been expecting to get taken away from the waiting room before the test began.

Only the old woman didn't seem to have such a thought.

Alex looked at the talisman and got another shock as he noticed that there were nearly 50 thousand different questions to be answered.

It was not physically possible for him to properly read through all of the questions within the assigned time, let alone answer them.

'As many as I can,' Alex thought and began without any more time wasted.

The first few questions were rather easy. All they wanted him to tell was what sort of pill would be required to heal what sort of injuries.

Alex easily answered those, even writing what the minimum level of Harmony was required for each pill.

Then came a somewhat harder question.

'An Immortal Ascendant woman, who is a mother of 3, has begun experiencing incredible back pain that regular healing pills have not been able to fix. How do you diagnose what is happening to her? List down the possible causes.'

Alex read the question and thought of an answer. He had read through so many books last night that he had managed to open up a massive chunk of the locked information in relation to medicine and other medical issues.

He quickly listed down the answer.

'First, I will check the source of the pain itself. If there is anything there to be removed, such as a scar from a wound that went inward, a foreign material, or anything to fix such as bones out of place of muscles that have twisted, I will fix it.'

'if that doesn't work, I will check to see if there is any blockage in her meridians, blood vessels, or nerves that a regular pill cannot fix. If there is one, I will remove it.'

'I will next check for poison and toxins, or any sort of foreign energy is shouldn't exist in her body, maybe a parasite, and then remove it using healing pills that work with it.'

'If not, I will check to see if her soul is impacted in some way. Giving birth to 3 children may have caused some damage to her soul that is being reflected in her physical body. I will feed her a Soul healing pill.'

'Finally, if nothing works, I will operate on her to remove that section of her back and let it heal back up with the help of some pills.'

From what Alex could tell, this was the right approach to any sort of diagnosis.First was to check the main problem, then check for areas surrounding the issues to see if they were causing it. If not, he then moved to check if there was something poisoning her and then move to check the soul.

For physical pain, could be the only cause, and going through them step by step helped one realize what was wrong with the patient.

There were a lot of things to do within those very steps, but without the woman in front of him to check, he couldn't list down all the possible hypotheses. That would simply take too long.

Once done, he moved on with the other answers.

The questions were all jumbled up, none of which had any regard to what was hard and what was easy.

There were simple questions like one that asked him to list the sections of a brain. The very question after that was for him to explain how he would deal with a patient who was dying of a parasite that was resistant to Qi and had burrowed into the patient's heart.

Alex answered everything he knew and moved on to the next questions as soon as he could.

There were a few questions he had to skip along the way, but for the most part, he answered all the questions one after another.

By the time half an hour had passed, Alex had managed to answer nearly 1400 questions. That was a lot more than he was expecting, but nowhere near the 50 thousand questions there were in that talisman.

Alex made sure his name was in the talisman and handed it back to the old woman.

The old woman took the talismans and placed them into her Soul Space. "I hope you two did well. Now, come on. We're going to do some practical tests."

The old woman walked outside and Alex and the other man quickly followed her.

"How did you do, brother?" the other man asked.

"I'm not sure, really," Alex said. "There were so many questions. I barely managed to answer 1400 or so."

"I did about 1800," the other man said and put on an awkward smile. "I did only answer the easy questions though. Did you do the same?"

Alex shook his head.

"You two can chat after the test is over," the old woman said and walked down a white corridor.

Alex looked at the large hanging sign right at the entrance of the corridor and saw 'Eastern Recovery Wing'.

As soon as they walked a little inward, both Alex and the other man smelled a strong odor of just medicines. On top of that, Alex felt a strong and lingering Death aura inside of that room.

"In through here," the woman pointed at a room and walked in.

A young man sat on a chair, waiting for the healer to enter. When he saw there, his eyes narrowed.

"Since there is no emergency with your situation, I will be using this moment to test these two physicians. Worry not, I will be the ones healing you in the end and you will receive a discount. Do you consent to this?" the woman asked.

The young man's eyes lit up when hearing the word discount and quickly nodded.

The woman turned to Alex and the other man. "Alright, Tell me what is wrong with this boy. Who wants to go first?"
