Chapter 492: Chapter 492: Traditional Chinese Medicine Cannot Be Insulted

Jiang Daoyue looked at Divine Doctor Xue with displeasure. "Old Xue, you’re a senior in our Dragon Country’s Traditional Chinese Medicine Community! How can you be so unreliable? Are you trying to humiliate me or help me find a Divine Doctor?"

The other Divine Doctors also looked displeased.

Joking around on a normal day would be one thing!

But what about a time like this?

This is a critical moment where the very survival of Traditional Chinese Medicine is at stake!

Is this any time for jokes?

Divine Doctor Xue quickly explained, "Divine Doctor Jiang, please calm down. Divine Doctor Cheng is very young, but his medical skills are simply divine! You know Old Master Hu of the Dongshan Hu Family, don’t you? And He Jing, Director He’s daughter in Beijing? They were both miraculously cured by Divine Doctor Cheng."

Old Master Hu?

He Jing?

Hearing these two names, everyone instantly fell silent.

Clearly, more than half of the Divine Doctors present had been invited by those two families, yet they had been completely unable to help either Old Master Hu or He Jing!

Even Jiang Daoyue had visited the He Family!

’If this Divine Doctor Cheng really cured Old Master Hu and He Jing, then his medical skills are truly heaven-defying!’

Jiang Daoyue asked, his voice filled with excitement, "Old Xue, you’re not pulling our leg, are you? Let me call Director He and find out for myself."

"Of course."

Jiang Daoyue took out his phone and dialed He Hongting’s number. The call connected quickly, and a steady voice came through: "Divine Doctor Jiang, what can I do for you?"

Jiang Daoyue asked tactfully, "Director He, I was calling to ask about your daughter’s condition. Do you still need me to bring a team for a consultation?"

"Thank you for your kind offer, Divine Doctor Jiang, but my daughter has already made a full recovery."

’He Jing is actually cured!!’

Jiang Daoyue’s voice trembled. "Which Divine Doctor was it? My senior brother? Or the Sect Leader of the Celestial Pill Sect?"

"Neither. It was a junior I know, named Cheng Yuan."

BUZZ!!!

He Hongting’s words hit him like a massive earthquake, leaving Jiang Daoyue utterly stunned!

He had led several Divine Doctors in a consultation for He Jing, yet they had been completely helpless!

And yet, Cheng Yuan had cured He Jing!

’This meant Cheng Yuan’s medical skills far surpassed his own!’

Seeing Jiang Daoyue standing there speechless, his body trembling uncontrollably, the other Divine Doctors grew worried. Divine Doctor Tang, who was closest to him, asked, "Divine Doctor Jiang, are you alright? What did Director He say?"

Jiang Daoyue finally snapped out of it. Without even bothering to answer his old friend, he staggered over to Cheng Yuan and gave him a deep bow.

"Divine Doctor Cheng, I was at fault! I should never have doubted you! Director He has confirmed that you cured He Jing! Your medical skill surpasses mine a thousand times over!!"

The entire clinic hall instantly erupted.

All the Divine Doctors wore expressions of utter disbelief!

’What did Divine Doctor Jiang just say?’

’This kid... no, this Divine Doctor Cheng actually cured He Jing?’

’What incredible medical skill!’

After all, He Jing’s case had been an insurmountable mountain for the entire Dragon Country Traditional Chinese Medicine Community!

For three long years, no one had been able to surmount it!

And now, Divine Doctor Cheng had surmounted that mountain!

The other Divine Doctors, quick to salvage the situation, began showering Cheng Yuan with praise.

"Divine Doctor Cheng, a true prodigy! To think you conquered the very mountain that we could not!!"

"Every generation produces its own talents, and the new replaces the old! Divine Doctor Cheng has left us old fossils on the shore!"

"We have a successor! The future of Dragon Country’s Traditional Chinese Medicine is secure! From now on, Divine Doctor Cheng will be the standard-bearer for our entire community!"

Cheng Yuan didn’t let the praise from Jiang Daoyue and the other Divine Doctors go to his head. He helped Jiang Daoyue up and looked at him with a gentle expression.

"Divine Doctor Jiang, you are my senior. There is no need for such ceremony! Besides, just because I could cure He Jing doesn’t mean my medical skills are superior to yours. Her case, to some extent, went beyond the normal scope of medicine."

Cheng Yuan’s humility only made everyone respect his character and professional integrity all the more.

"Divine Doctor Cheng, you’re too humble. No matter what her condition entailed, we couldn’t solve it, and you could. That means you are better than us!"

"With Divine Doctor Cheng fighting in Divine Doctor Jiang’s stead, we can rest easy!"

"Divine Doctor Cheng, the honor of Dragon Country’s Traditional Chinese Medicine is in your hands!"

Cheng Yuan’s expression turned grave. "Rest assured, everyone," he said in a deep voice. "Traditional Chinese Medicine will not be disgraced!"

Cheng Yuan’s voice wasn’t loud, but it was filled with power!

The spirits of all the Divine Doctors were lifted, and they raised their fists in the air, shouting, "Traditional Chinese Medicine will not be disgraced!!"

The morale on the side of Traditional Chinese Medicine instantly soared to its peak!

The Korean Medicine faction, however, wasn’t the least bit nervous. In fact, they found the whole display rather amusing.

"Teacher Pu, are those Traditional Chinese Medicine folks idiots? What’s a bunch of defeated generals got to shout about?"

"If this is a shouting contest, OK, we’ll gladly concede defeat!"

"Hahahaha..."

...

Surrounded by the Divine Doctors, the Traditional Chinese Medicine group came to a stop before the Korean Medicine contingent, glaring at them like tigers stalking their prey.

Divine Doctor Xue shouted, "Dr. Park! Our Divine Doctor Cheng has arrived! Are you ready?"

Park Hao gave Cheng Yuan a dismissive glance, a look of exasperation on his face. ’Has Traditional Chinese Medicine really run out of people? Sending a wet-behind-the-ears kid to challenge me?’

Heh...

Park Hao knew perfectly well that Cheng Yuan was Divine Doctor Cheng, but he feigned a look of confusion. "Oh? Has Divine Doctor Cheng arrived? Where is Divine Doctor Cheng? I don’t seem to see him anywhere."

As he spoke, Park Hao scanned the crowd back and forth, pointedly refusing to look at Cheng Yuan.

The Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners were furious. ’This Park Hao is just playing dumb!’

’He’s trying to put Divine Doctor Cheng in his place from the get-go!’

"Park Hao, you..."

As Cheng Yuan’s number one fan, Divine Doctor Xue couldn’t stand seeing Park Hao ignore him and instinctively moved to reprimand him.

But Cheng Yuan caught his arm and gave him a slight shake of the head.

Divine Doctor Xue had no choice but to hold his tongue.

Cheng Yuan stepped forward. To everyone’s confusion, he began circling the Korean Medicine contingent, seemingly looking for something.

His stare began to unnerve the Korean Medicine practitioners.

"Kid, what are you looking at?"

"Hey, kid, stop! You’re making us dizzy!"

The Traditional Chinese Medicine group was just as baffled, wondering what on earth Cheng Yuan was doing circling their opponents.

Fortunately, Cheng Yuan didn’t keep them guessing. He looked annoyed as he asked, "Dr. Park, where are my winnings? Why didn’t you bring them over?"

Huh?

Everyone was stunned.

Winnings?

What winnings?

Park Hao said with a displeased expression, "Young man, I don’t know what you’re talking about. Today is the day I challenge Divine Doctor Jiang. A junior like you has no right to speak here."

Divine Doctor Jiang snorted coldly. "Dr. Park, stop playing dumb! Divine Doctor Cheng is hardly a ’junior’! I have already entrusted him to take on this challenge in my place!"

Park Hao said with feigned surprise, "Ah? So he’s Divine Doctor Cheng? I thought he was just some junior from one of the Divine Doctors’ families!"

Pfft.

The Korean Medicine contingent burst into unabashed laughter.

"It seems Traditional Chinese Medicine really is fresh out of talent! They’re actually sending out a kid who’s still wet behind the ears?"

"Oh, I get it! This is the escape route the Divine Doctors of Dragon Country have set up! This way, if a junior loses, it’s not the same as Divine Doctor Jiang losing! These old guys are so clever!"
