Chapter 173 A Grand Master's Bow
"Can it cure all poisons?"
Everyone stared intently at the porcelain bottle in Xiao Yichen's hand, their attention captivated.
"Young man, are you telling the truth?" the Zhong family patriarch asked hurriedly.
"I guarantee it with my integrity!" Xiao Yichen said confidently with a smile.
He first handed the porcelain bottle to Tang Qing to look at.
Tang Qing poured out a pill from the porcelain bottle, looked at it, smelled it, scraped off a little bit and tasted it, and his eyes lit up.
"This pill does have a detoxifying effect, but I don't know how effective it will be," he said.
"Quickly, prepare the medicine for the old man!" The Zhong family members made the arrangements without hesitation.
"Friendly reminder, it's best not to give this pill to the patient," Xiao Chen said abruptly.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Even Doctor Tang said it's effective, what are you up to?" Song Yucheng rebuked.
"Do you think you're more authoritative than Doctor Tang?" Xiao Yichen said coldly.
"Mr. Xiao Chen, please stop talking nonsense, okay?" a member of the Zhong family said impatiently.
"Okay." Xiao Chen immediately shut up and stopped talking.
The Song father and son secretly rejoiced when they saw him get the short end of the stick.
The Zhong family dissolved the antidote pill and gave it to the patient.
Then, they waited expectantly for the old man to wake up after the poisoning was cleared.
"puff……"
Suddenly, the patient opened his mouth and vomited blood, and at the same time, the machines started beeping. The situation was critical.
"This..." The Zhong family members' faces changed drastically, and they were extremely flustered.
Tang Qing looked surprised and somewhat at a loss.
Xiao Yichen, who was about to vouch for his integrity, also changed his expression, looking completely bewildered.
"How could this happen?" The Song father and son looked at each other in disbelief.
Fortunately, Tang Qing quickly provided first aid, which barely stabilized the situation.
But without a doubt, the patient's condition had worsened.
"This is called being able to cure all poisons?" the Zhong family patriarch asked coldly.
Tang Qing's face fell, and he remained silent.
Xiao Yichen looked grim, his face turning ashen.
He didn't understand why the antidote he brought hadn't worked.
As everyone fell silent, someone looked at Xiao Chen.
He had just tried to stop them, but nobody believed him.
"Mr. Xiao Chen, did you already know the outcome?" asked the Zhong family member who had previously reprimanded Xiao Chen.
"I don't know, just guessing," Xiao Chen said calmly.
The man was speechless.
“It seems we have no choice but to try our medicine,” a member of the Illuminati stepped forward.
Seeing the medicine they brought out, the Zhong family dared not try it again.
Upon smelling the odor, Xiao Chen immediately frowned and his face darkened.
"Don't worry, everyone. Our medicine is mild. Even if it doesn't work, it won't cause any harm to the patient. Why not give it a try?" one of them said with a smile.
"If any problems arise after taking it, the three of us will pay for Old Master Xiao's life!" another person declared threateningly.
Having said all that, the Zhong family had no choice but to give it a shot, even if it seemed hopeless.
Tang Qing became more observant and kept a close eye on Xiao Chen's expression.
Seeing the faint, mocking smile on Xiao Chen's lips, he felt a chill run down his spine.
Could there be something wrong with this medicine?
But considering the embarrassment he had just caused, he didn't dare to speak up and could only watch.
The three Illuminati members quickly dissolved the medicine powder in water and gave it to the patient, but there was no reaction for a long time.
"It seems it didn't work. Sorry," the three men said.
"The fact that the three of you came to our aid is already very kind of you, so there's no need to take it to heart," the Zhong family head sighed.
Xiao Chen, sitting to one side, had a mocking expression.
These three people weren't there for legitimate treatment at all; they had ulterior motives. Only the Zhong family was oblivious, still expressing their gratitude.
"Cough cough..."
Grandpa Zhong coughed twice, then coughed up blood again, and the curve on the cardiopulmonary monitor became weaker and weaker.
The Zhong family members were extremely anxious and their expressions were filled with grief, yet they were helpless.
Xiao Chen had watched enough of the show, so he got up and walked outside.
"Young man, please wait!" Tang Qing suddenly called out.
“Young man, if you have real skills, why not show them off? Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda…” he said.
Xiao Chen turned around and stared at him coldly.
"Tang Qing, you yourself are not skilled enough, yet you have the nerve to advise me to save people," Xiao Chen rebuked.
"Even if you can understand one-tenth of that half of the medical book and practice the fifth acupuncture technique, you can still save this person's life."
Upon hearing this, Tang Qing's expression changed drastically.
"How...how did you know I had half a medical book? I've never told anyone!" he asked in shock.
“I am the leader of the Ren generation, how do you think I would know?” Xiao Chen said calmly.
"What? Ren...Ren generation!" Tang Qing was shocked and looked incredulous.
He carefully examined Xiao Chen and found that he looked very similar to that person; both were young.
Immediately, Tang Qing's expression turned serious. After straightening his clothes, he bowed deeply to Xiao Chen.
"Tang Qing, a disciple of the Divine Physician Sect of the Xin generation, pays respects to Junior Uncle!" he called out with utmost respect.
At this moment, everyone present was astonished.
Apart from Dongfang Ruyi, who was in a slightly better state, everyone else looked shocked.
Who is Tang Qing?
He has already been certified by the Medical Association and will be a top-tier physician once the procedures are completed!
With one exception, the title of "Grandmaster" is the highest honor and status among physicians in the Xia Kingdom.
This renowned physician actually performed a deep bow to the young Xiao Chen and addressed him as his "uncle"...
The impact of this scene was so great that it left most people speechless.
At this moment, countless questions filled everyone's minds.
Xiao Yichen's eyes widened, and his face turned even paler.
The renowned physician he had gone to great lengths to invite actually bowed to Xiao Chen with such utmost respect...
The Song family father and son were completely stunned.
"Dr. Tang... what's wrong with you..." The Zhong family members stared in astonishment at Tang Qing lying on the ground.
"The person I'm talking about has unparalleled medical skills and is the leader of the Divine Physician Sect," Tang Qing said solemnly.
"Twenty years ago, I was just an intern. By chance, I met you, and after receiving your guidance, my medical skills improved by leaps and bounds. I then pestered you relentlessly to become your disciple, but you said I wasn't qualified enough to become a formal disciple. So, you made an exception and accepted me as a disciple of a different generation, which meant I could still be associated with the name of the Divine Physician Sect..."
"My master passed down half of a medical book to me, but unfortunately I only comprehended one-tenth of it. I am truly ashamed..."
Everyone who heard this was deeply moved.
With just half a medical book and only one-tenth of what you've learned, you can already become a top-level physician!
What kind of medical book is that? And what kind of extraordinary school of thought is the Divine Physician Sect?
Incredible!
"Practicing medicine to save lives, a doctor's heart is benevolent... I belong to the 'heart' generation, he belongs to the 'benevolence' generation, therefore I should address him as my senior uncle and pay my respects!"
After speaking, Tang Qing bowed twice to Xiao Chen again.
"I am sorry that I have made a fool of myself in front of my martial uncle today. Please punish me!" he said earnestly.
The crowd looked at each other strangely.
No one expected that Xiao Chen, who was not favored by everyone, would actually have such a powerful background.
"Doctor Tang, since he is your senior uncle, how does his medical skill compare to yours?" the Zhong family head asked.
Tang Qing smiled.
"My martial uncle said he is the leader of the Ren generation!"
"The so-called leader is the current sect leader of the Divine Physician Sect. Only formal disciples who have fully comprehended the medical book and whose medical skills have reached a certain level can be granted the title of leader and inherit the position of sect leader!"
"He... is definitely no weaker than my grandmaster!"
Upon hearing this, the Zhong family members' eyes lit up...
