Qi Zhong (Master of Medicine)Source Tian Xia World Guide pg. 39Long ago, in a distant past not found in any current history books, a traveling medic walked the winding paths between settlements with their apprentice, treating the ailments, aches, and pains of those they came across. Despite being implored to stay, the pair would never impose themselves for longer than a night. They were always gone before the first light of the next morning, even if numerous armed guards stood in their way. While scholars can debate whether this folklore had a particular moral to instill, the story accentuates the hope medicine can bring to those in need of it, and thus its importance in society and civilization. Unbeknownst to mortals, the apprentice in said story is the very same individual they worship as the Master of Medicine today. Qi Zhong documented his life and choices in his memoir, The Eight Hundred Years of Qi Zhong. What parts of the book that survived today serve as the god's sacred text, advising his worshippers on healing techniques and living philosophies.
Qi Zhong's teachings focus on understanding one's place among the flow of the elements. He espouses resolution, absolution, patience, and taking life slowly but not lazily. A pacifist by nature, his writings also contain insights into psychology, governing, and rulership. Thus, many academics and rulers also worship the god, along with elemental casters, healers, and medicine growers and makers.
Regular folk also seek out the god's crane-filled temples when they have difficulty curing their ailments. It is believed that if one were to offer five-colored grains to these birds, Qi Zhong will send one of his priests on a pilgrimage to the petitioner with the exact cure they needed. In northern Tian Xia, such as the regions of Chu Ye, Kwanlai, and Wanshou, some settlements keep the custom of making a major offering to Qi Zhong every 12 years of one's life, as well as celebrating the Festival of Longevity, where communities will host a feast to honor those who are older than 96.
