Ning bandaged up a man's forehead after applying some sort of paste under it.

"Alright. The swollen parts should disappear in about 3 days. After it stops hurting, you can remove the bandage yourself," he told the man.

"Thank you, doctor," the man said and paid Ning a bunch of silver coins before leaving.

He welcomed another patient but was a little surprised this time. 'A cultivator?' he thought as he felt the aura of the man walking in.

'7th realm?' he thought and quickly checked the man's cultivation base. It was in the 8th Qi Condensation realm. 'So close,' Ning thought.

"Hi, what can I help you with?" Ning asked.

The cultivator was really polite and explained what the problem was. Ning listened with full attention and checked the person. He then prepared some medicine and asked for a price of 5 gold coins.

The cultivator paid the amount without hesitation and left.

'That was weird,' Ning thought. For some reason, cultivators never came to get checked. It was always mortals. It was almost like there weren't that many rogue cultivators in the city at all.

And the few that did come were never this strong at all.

However, thinking that this was a one-time event, Ning decided to forget it. However, the next person that came through the door was also a cultivator.

'Another 8th realm cultivator?' he was shocked. The person was a woman who had a stomach problem. Ning gave her medicine too and she politely thanked him and paid him before leaving.

This was a very weird experience for Ning in this city. He treated not one, but two cultivators in a single day.

'What's going on?' he wondered.

Anther cultivator with 7th Qi Condensation realm came in and ask for treatment. Ning complied and treated the man.

After him, another came. And another, and another.

By the end of the day, he had treated over 30 cultivators, all of whom were at least above the 7th Qi Condensation realm.

Just when he thought it was over, however, another person came. However, this person didn't feel like a cultivator. 'Finally, a mortal,' Ning thought.

But when he looked up and saw the man, he was sure he had made a mistake. Just from the man's long white beard and blue robes, he could tell that he was a cultivator.

As for why he had no aura, Ning checked him.

5th Foundation Establishment realm.

Ning's eyes went wide. 'So strong,' he thought.

"Hello, Doctor Ning. How are you doing?" the man spoke with an amicable smile.

"I'm fine. May I ask who you are?" Ning said.

"My name is Palio, I am an elder of the Blue Dragon sect," the man said. The situation reminded him a lot of what happened with Anya.

"Are you here to recruit me as a disciple?" Ning asked.

Palio's eyes went a little wide as he wasn't expecting Ning to understand his purpose. Still, he managed to smile and said, "Close, but not quite."

"Hmm?" Ning didn't understand the meaning.

"I am here to recruit you as a doctor for our sect. What do you say?" the man asked.

"Doctor… for the sect?" Ning asked curiously. "Do you want to exclusively take me as sect's doctor?"

"Ah, it's good that you understand. Yes, that is exactly what we want to do. You see, the local doctors complained to us that you are in the way of their business just because of how good you are."

"We wanted to see, and it turns out you are really good. Much better than the doctor we currently have. So, Doctor Ning, I would like to formally invite you to the Blue Dragon sect to stay as an exclusive doctor," Palio said.

Ning fell into deep contemplation. 'I still have 8 months before I get my system back. I was doing this all just to pass time, so…'

"What benefits do I get?" Ning asked.

"As a sect doctor, you will get all the materials needed for treatment paid by the sect. You will get free access to all the books and techniques in the sect library, aside from the forbidden ones," Palio said.

'That's not very bad I guess,' Ning thought. However, what Palio said next sealed the deal.

"Finally, you will get 5 spirit stones every single month."

"Sorry, Spirit Stones?" Ning's eyes went wide. He had heard of those things, but they were incredibly rare. Even though it only cost about 100 gold coins, just finding one was impossible.

"Where do you guys get the spirit stones?" Ning asked.

"We have connections with a major sect up north near the mainland. We get a steady supply of it from them," the man said.

Ning didn't need to think anymore. "I agree."

Pali0 left with a smile. Ning promised to go to the sect exactly 1 week after he finished treating the people that were waiting for him.

He made sure to let everyone know that he was leaving. Some were saddened by it, some angry too, but they couldn't stop him from doing what he wanted to do.

He made sure to go around the different doctors in the area and threatened them to return if he ever learned about them hiking up the price.

Once everything was ready, a week later, in the morning, Ning walked to the Right eye of the Deepskull island.

The Blue Dragon sect was hidden a little away from the markets in the thick of the forest. Once Ning walked up to the gate, he could see the tall walls of the sect going all around it.

'That's quite a big sect,' he thought. He had heard a lot regarding the two sects on the island but had never personally seen them.

Finally, he walked up to the guard and told them why he was here. The guards didn't waste any time and immediately went to call Palio.

Palio came out of the gate with a happy smile, saying "Good Morning, Doctor Ning. Welcome to the Blue Dragon Sect."`
