Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

Chapter 276: Chapter 276: Smashing the Signboard

When the two patients stepped forward, one of them walked up to Wang Xiuxin.

The other one approached the Medicine King.

The Medicine King asked the patient:

”Where do you feel uncomfortable?”

”My waist hurts!” the patient said, supporting his waist.

The Medicine King nodded and took his pulse.

He instantly diagnosed: weak pulse, body heat, pain in both waist and spleen, palpable mass in the lower abdomen. The extraordinary yin meridians were injured.

After making the diagnosis, he quickly scribbled a prescription.

The Medicine King, especially skilled in using medicines to cure diseases, always ensured the disease was cured as soon as the medicine was taken.

This time he wrote down the prescription: Angelica, Fried Paeonia Alba, Ramulus Cinnamomi, Wolfiporia Extensa Ginns, Artemisia Argyi, Jujubes.

This prescription was quite common, and ready-made versions were available at the Medicine King Hall. After taking one out, he immediately had the patient drink it!

After the patient drank the medicine, he stood aside, waiting for the treatment results.

On the other side, Wang Xiuxin had also completed his diagnosis of his patient, and then he actually said:

”Everyone, I wonder if you have heard a saying, ’Every medicine has some level of toxicity.’

”This is even more so with Chinese medicine. Therefore, when I cure diseases now, I avoid using Chinese medicine if possible! Instead, I use Western medicine methods to cure diseases!”

”I have studied both Chinese and Western medicine and am proficient in both. This time, I will use Western medicine to beat the Medicine King!”

After saying this, he directly prescribed a Western medicine prescription for his patient.

He had him go to a nearby pharmacy to buy and take the Western medicine.

After both of them had prescribed medicines for their patients to take, they began to ask about the patients’ conditions.

First, Wang Xiuxin asked his patient, ”How do you feel?”

The patient replied, ”My head was in unbearable pain just now, but after taking the medicine you prescribed, my headache immediately disappeared. Truly a Divine Doctor whose treatment cures the disease immediately!”

The Medicine King also inquired about his patient, ”How do you feel?”

As the patient was about to speak, suddenly, with a ’puh’ sound, he spit out a mouthful of fresh blood, his face turned pale immediately, and he fainted on the spot.

Seeing this, everyone’s faces changed dramatically.

”What... what’s going on?”

”How could that man be fine one moment and then spit blood and faint the next?”

”Could it be because of the Chinese medicine he drank?”

”Is this the so-called toxicity of every medicine? It’s terrifying!”

”From now on, I’ll never take Chinese medicine again. If even a famous old TCM doctor’s Chinese medicine can worsen the condition, not to mention other people!”

”Western medicine is more reliable!”

”...”

At the moment, the crowd was abuzz with discussion.

The Medicine King was also surprised; he hurried over to the patient who had spit blood and fainted and took his pulse.

”Strange, clearly it was that disease. Why would this happen after taking the medicine?”

Even the Medicine King was somewhat puzzled.

Wang Xiuxin, on the other hand, burst out laughing:

”Obviously, I won this Medical Competition!”

”Is this the medical skill of your Southern Faction? Not to mention your grandson losing to me, but even the renowned Famous Doctor Medicine King lost to me.”

”So today, there’s no need for the ’Medical King Hall’ to keep its sign up anymore!”

Wang Xiuxin said this and, with a leap into the air, directly took down the golden plaque above the main gate of the Medical King Hall.

Seeing this, everyone from the Medical King Hall’s faces changed dramatically.

Zhuge Lingyou busily said:

”Wang Xiuxin, that golden plaque is of great significance to my grandfather. It was a Signboard given by a big shot from the Capital City many years ago. I’m begging you, don’t take down the plaque!”

This plaque was the signboard of the Medical King Hall, symbolizing its reputation in the Medical Field, and it carried great significance.

However, Wang Xiuxin sneered:

”Today, both you and your grandfather lost to me in the Medical Competition. Now, as the victor, it’s reasonable and fair for me to take away your signboard.”

Zhuge Lingyou wanted to say something more, but Wang Xiuxin, holding the plaque, swept his gaze over all the people around him.

He then said aloud:

”Everyone, today you are all witnesses. Such a bullshit Medicine King is nothing but a quack seeking fame and reputation under false pretenses, a good-for-nothing who risks people’s lives!”

”I think from now on, there’s no need for everyone to come to the Medical King Hall for treatment!”

As he spoke, the patient in front of the Medicine King was still convulsing, even foaming at the mouth.

Seeing this, the surrounding onlookers stirred into discussion again.

”Oh my God, this is horrifying!”

”I will never come to the Medical King Hall for treatment again!”

”No, I won’t see a Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner anymore; I’ll go see a Western Doctor!”

”...”

With Wang Xiuxin’s words, these people even started to resent traditional Chinese medicine, preferring not to use it for treatment in the future.

Seeing this, Wang Xiuxin laughed hysterically again.

”The plaque of the Medical King Hall also has no need to exist in this world anymore. From now on, if the Medical King Hall has no signboard, then you better not come out to treat people, to avoid embarrassment!!!”

Having said this, he raised his right hand, ready to smash the signboard he was holding!

Watching this scene, the Medicine King’s face showed extreme bitterness; he still couldn’t quite understand why the patient reacted that way after taking his medicine.

It shouldn’t be this way!

Could it be that I’ve truly gotten old?

Unable to even cure a case of back pain?

Zhuge Lingyou, flushed with embarrassment, looked at Wang Xiuxin, full of unwillingness.

Just as Wang Xiuxin’s hand was about to strike the signboard, suddenly, his hand was seized by someone!

A cold voice rang out.

”Wang Xiuxin, you resort to any means necessary to achieve your goals, actually using such tricks to slander the Medical King Hall, to slander traditional Chinese medicine. You’re shaking the already fragile trust that the People of the Dragon Country have in traditional Chinese medicine even more!”

”Just what kind of person are you, claiming to be from a Centuries-old TCM family?”

”Aren’t you afraid that your actions will bring shame upon your ancestors?”

”How can you have the face to call yourself a person of the Dragon Country, let alone profess to be a Successor of traditional Chinese medicine!!?”
