Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

Chapter 1154: Chapter 1153: Betting on the Prize Head

After Elder Wang Taisui finished speaking, Medical Saint Jin Yuan couldn’t help but say,

”Having heard Elder Wang’s words, I am now even more curious about the unseen leader of the Southern Faction of Traditional Chinese Medicine.”

”Just what kind of person is he to earn such trust from Dragon Country Chinese Medicine and from someone like Elder Wang Taisui!”

As he said this, he suddenly laughed and added,

”However, Elder Wang, I admire you, but I still cannot agree to your request.”

”This time, my challenge is to the leader of the Southern Sect of Chinese Medicine. So he is my opponent!”

”As for you, Elder Wang, once I have won, I will then challenge you.”

Hearing his resolute stance, Elder Wang Taisui also sighed.

At this point, Elder Wang Taisui couldn’t help but bow again with a tone of earnest pleading and continued,

”Then, Medical Saint Jin Yuan, could you possibly delay the time of the competition by a few hours?”

”Could we postpone it until eleven o’clock at night?”

Lin Dong is currently in the Southwest, and although he said he would rush here as quickly as possible, even flying by plane would take several hours.

There is only about an hour left before the official competition is due to start. There’s no way he can make it in time.

Therefore, Elder Wang Taisui was even willing to beseech Medical Saint Jin Yuan to delay the competition.

Medical Saint Jin Yuan nodded his head, feeling that postponing the competition was not a problem at all.

However, just as he was about to agree, Li Huanzhen quickly interjected, ”No, no!”

”Master, we cannot agree.”

And just at that moment, two fleets arrived. These fleets were composed of people from overseas.

One of the fleets belonged to the people from the Paocai Nation Pharmaceutical Association, led by President Lee of the pharmaceutical tycoons, the Li Family, who belonged to the same clan as Li Huanzhen and also served as the president of the Paocai Nation Medical Association.

He represented the official stance of Paocai Nation’s medical field.

Even Li Huanzhen would have to bow at ninety degrees upon seeing him.

At this moment, Li Huanzhen bowed deeply at ninety degrees and said loudly, ”President, you have arrived!”

President Lee nodded in his direction, and then looked towards Medical Saint Jin Yuan, saying with a smile, ”Medical Saint Jin Yuan, you must not agree.”

Medical Saint Jin Yuan furrowed his brows slightly, and President Lee continued,

”Medical Saint Jin Yuan, I know your medical skills are superb. Truthfully, even compared to the leader of the Dragon Country’s Chinese Medicine Circle of the Southern Sect, you would surely win.”

”But, if he is late for his own reasons, why should we postpone the time for him?”

”According to the rules, if a faction is more than half an hour late for the medical competition, then that faction is considered to have automatically forfeited, automatically conceded the match!”

”Now, we clearly can win the competition quite easily, so why take this risk? Although the risk isn’t big, it’s unnecessary.”

Listening to his words, Medical Saint Jin Yuan could only apologetically glance over at Elder Wang Taisui.

They belonged to different camps, and now that the president of the Paocai Nation Medical Association had come forward to disagree,

If he still questioned Elder Wang Taisui’s request to delay the time, then once Paocai Nation learned of this, they would not tolerate him!

Although he was willing to give Elder Wang Taisui this consideration, to go against the will of the entire Paocai Nation was clearly something he could not do.

”Okay then, President Lee, since you have come, I will not interfere in this matter. If that leader of the Dragon Country Traditional Chinese Medicine Southern Sect arrives on time as scheduled, I will have a fair competition with him.”

”If he does not come, then it shall be as you say!”

President Lee nodded, ”Okay, Medical Saint Jin Yuan. You’ve worked hard; leave this matter to me.”

As he said this, he looked towards Elder Wang and then laughingly said:

”Elder Wang, actually, delaying for two more hours isn’t much of an issue!”

”As long as the Dragon Country Medical Circle is willing to add some stakes to this Medical Competition, then we will agree to delay for two hours!”

As soon as these words were spoken, Elder Wang’s expression slightly changed, knowing that the other party had ill intentions.

After pondering for a moment, he couldn’t help but ask, ”What stakes are you proposing to add?”

President Lee’s mouth revealed a hint of a smile, with the cunning of a merchant; he slowly began:

”As long as the Dragon Country Medical Circle and our Paocai Nation Medical Circle make a fair bet.”

”Whoever loses will gift their respective Medical Circle’s treasured ’Acupuncture Bronze Man’ to the other side.”

Acupuncture Bronze Man!

At these four words, both Elder Wang and everyone on the side of Dragon Country Chinese Medicine had a significant change in expression.

And Medical Saint Jin Yuan, as well as the ten great physicians of Chinese Medicine, also changed their expressions.

As members of the Medical Field, whether from Dragon Country’s Traditional Chinese Medicine or the Paocai Nation’s Eastern Medicine, they all knew what the Acupuncture Bronze Man represented in the Medical Field.

That was a treasure of the Medical World!

The Acupuncture Bronze Man is an ancient Dragon Country medical teaching model.

It is cast from pure copper, roughly the size of a real person, with acupoints marked all over its body, and its limbs and internal organs can be freely disassembled.

Ever since the ”Emperor’s Classic” proposed the theory of meridians, Chinese Medicine gradually developed its unique forms of acupuncture.

However, because ancient medical knowledge was mostly passed down orally, many acupuncture techniques were full of mistakes and inaccuracies. To change this situation, in the era of Song Renzong Tienshang, Zhao Zhen ordered the Royal Hospital to verify ancient methods and cast the Acupuncture Bronze Man, setting standards at great expense, finally casting two bronze men.

Originally, one was kept within the palace, and the other served as a divine artifact for the Royal Hospital’s examinations, where mercury was poured inside; if the acupuncture was performed correctly, mercury would flow out, signaling a passing examination.

Unfortunately, the two Bronze Men were lost without a trace during The Jingkang Rebellion in the Late Northern Song Dynasty.

Later, during the Ming Yingzong Zhengtong Period, Zhu Qizhen ordered the replication of the Northern Song Dynasty Tian Sheng Bronze Man and thus created one Zhengtong Bronze Man.

Thus, there were a total of three Acupuncture Bronze Men!

And out of these three Acupuncture Bronze Men, one is enshrined in the museum of Xiong Country. Our Dragon Country has asked for it many times, but to no avail!

Another one is in our Dragon Country!

Collected by the Dragon Country Medical Association!

As for the last one, it is rumored to be in the hands of the wealthy Li Family of Paocai Nation, and now it seems likely to be true.

At this moment, Elder Wang couldn’t help but ask, ”President Lee, does this mean that one of the Dragon Country’s treasures, one of the three Acupuncture Bronze Men, is really in your Li family’s possession, as rumored by the outside world?”

”Hahaha...” Hearing this, President Lee couldn’t help but laugh, ”Elder Wang, since when was the Acupuncture Bronze Man cast by your Dragon Country?”

”That was clearly forged by our Paocai ancestors. It’s just that one of them has ended up in your Dragon Country now!”

”And this time, as the president of the Paocai Nation Medical Circle, I am representing our Paocai Nation to take back what belongs to us, the treasure of Paocai Nation’s Medical Heritage!!!”

Whoosh!!!

Such shameless words, spoken so righteously, made the Chinese Medicine practitioners from Dragon Country clench their teeth in anger.

”What do you say, Dragon Country Medical Circle, do you dare to place this bet?” President Lee asked again loudly.
