Chapter 375: All Three Cured?

~8 min read 1,422 words

Village Chief looks at Jiang Feng, who remains so calm under his Wu Zun pressure, a hint of Light Smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.

"It's simple: you're not a Taoyuan Village native, you have no roots or backing; if you want all of us to trust you, you must show sufficient strength."

Jiang Feng hears this, his gaze immediately lands on Zuo Liangchen standing beside the Village Chief, and he points a finger upward.

"Since I must prove my strength, I'll challenge the young Village Chief Zuo Liangchen."

"What?"

The words spark an immediate uproar, and a huge murmur erupts among the Crowd.

"He actually dares to directly challenge the young Village Chief? That's way too arrogant!"

"The young Village Chief is one of the top among our Taoyuan Village's younger generation; not only has he reached the Heavenly Person Initial Stage, but also inherited the Zuo Family's Qi Observation Art. Is this guy crazy?"

"I think he simply doesn't know the limits; does he really believe passing Yao Lao's test makes him remarkable?"

The Crowd exchanges words, their gazes toward Jiang Feng full of doubt.

In their eyes, even if Jiang Feng has some skill, he could never match Zuo Liangchen.

What no one expected was that, faced with Jiang Feng's challenge, Zuo Liangchen—considered the top of Taoyuan Village's younger generation—suddenly flushed bright red.

He clenches both fists tightly, yet, feeling a bit insecure, he roars.

"Jiang Feng, don't go too far!"

The last time at the Tianyan Spirit Spring, Zuo Liangchen personally witnessed the strange power within Jiang Feng, whose strength far surpassed his own.

Jiang Feng's current challenge is nothing but a deliberate humiliation.

The Crowd, seeing Zuo Liangchen's abnormal reaction, were all stunned.

"Something's off; why does the young Village Chief seem a bit afraid of this guy?"

"Could it be... the young Village Chief really can't beat this Jiang Feng?"

The whispered murmurs reach Zuo Liangchen's ears, making his complexion even worse.

The Village Chief watches this scene, his face still expressionless, only a faint smile.

"Young friend, you carry great destiny, your strength is impressive; Liangchen truly is not your opponent."

"Boom!"

When the Village Chief says that, everyone present is utterly shocked.

They never imagined the Village Chief would so candidly admit that Zuo Liangchen is not Jiang Feng's opponent!

It should be noted that Zuo Liangchen is the Heir specially cultivated by the Zuo Family, a benchmark for Taoyuan Village's younger generation.

The Village Chief's words undoubtedly slapped Zuo Liangchen's face in public and shattered everyone's perception of Jiang Feng.

So this kid really isn't just a decorative pillow?

Zuo Liangchen's face turned ashen, his body staggered, his eyes filled with humiliation.

Jiang Feng, today's shame, I have noted it!

But the Village Chief shifts his tone, his gaze again landing on Jiang Feng.

"Moreover, the Medicine Hall Transmission has always valued Medical Dao over force; young friend, do you only intend to suppress the whole arena with martial power, making everyone outwardly submit but inwardly resist? If so, you may duel with me; if you can withstand my three moves, the matter of the Yao Lu apprentice, the Zuo Family will no longer intervene."

"Zuo Laogui, you are overstepping!"

Yao Lao immediately snorts coldly and steps forward.

"You, a true Wu Zun Realm strongman, dare to strike at a junior of the Heavenly Human Realm; that is excessively shameless! Under your three moves, how could Jiang Feng have any chance to survive? If you dare utter such nonsense again, why not we directly exchange techniques and see whose method is tougher!"

Having been publicly rebuked by Yao Lao, the Village Chief remains unruffled, his face still bearing that faint smile.

"Yao Lao, calm down; I was merely speaking offhand. Since you think judging strength by martial means is inappropriate, let's change the method."

He pauses, his gaze sweeping over everyone present.

"Since you are a Yao Lu apprentice, the most important is your pharmacology and Medical Dao attainment. If Jiang Feng can defeat the entire Taoyuan Village younger generation in Medical Dao, proving his Medical Dao talent and strength, then his Yao Lu apprentice status, the Zuo Family will acknowledge."

Upon hearing this, the Five Great Elders all nod in agreement.

"The Village Chief's words are reasonable; the Medicine Hall Transmission has always prioritized Medical Dao. If Jiang Feng truly can surpass all the village's young in Medical Dao, then he indeed qualifies as a Yao Lu apprentice."

The other Elders also echo, finding the condition very reasonable.

Taoyuan Village inherits from the Medicine Hall's Wang Sect; its Medical Dao foundation is profound, and the younger generation also includes many gifted individuals. They doubt an outsider could outshine everyone in Medical Dao.

Jiang Feng, hearing the Village Chief's words, nods outright and agrees.

"Fine, then, as I am unworthy, I shall challenge the village's younger generation's Medical Dao experts!"

"Sss!"

When Jiang Feng says that, everyone present gasps, the atmosphere filled with a roar.

"Challenge the whole village?"

"This is way too arrogant!"

There are many Medical Dao experts among Taoyuan Village's younger generation; Jiang Feng, a young outsider, daring to utter such ruthless words, is utterly presumptuous!

"This kid is too arrogant! Does he really think a little skill makes him invincible?"

"Hmph, I want to see how he ends up; if he loses, what face will he have left in Taoyuan Village!"

At that moment, a young man in a gray robe stepped out from the Crowd.

"I am Gong Yuan! Born of the Gong Family of Taoyuan Village, I have cultivated Medical Dao for thirty years, reaching the Medical Dao Subtle Realm ten years ago, and consider my talent not top‑tier! Jiang Feng, you blurt out reckless words challenging the whole village; I want to see what qualification you have to become a Yao Lu apprentice, so today I will first test you!"

Gong Yuan's words quiet the Crowd, who all turn to look at him.

Although the Gong Family is not the top family in Taoyuan Village, it is an ancient lineage with deep Medical Dao roots.

Gong Yuan is among the elite of the younger generation; having reached the Medical Dao Subtle Realm a decade ago, he is top‑tier throughout the village.

His early appearance indeed serves to well test Jiang Feng's caliber.

Here it should be clarified that Taoyuan Village's Medical Dao realms inherit from the Medicine Hall, divided into five grades.

They are, in order: Medicine Recognition, Symptom Differentiation, Subtle Entry, Spirit Transformation, and Divine Communication.

Gong Yuan could reach the Subtle Entry Realm in his early thirties, which already counts as outstanding talent.

Jiang Feng looked at the Gong Yuan before him, and his face showed no Silk ripple.

"Fine, then please, Brother Gong, instruct me. I wonder how we shall compete?"

Gong Yuan snorted coldly and said proudly.

"Medical Competition, naturally it is about treating patients and saving lives! Here I have three patients with difficult, unresolved ailments that have not healed for many years, all of which are troublesome cases the Gong Family has encountered over the years. You and I each will diagnose and treat them; whoever can cure the patients in the shortest time wins!"

After speaking, Gong Yuan waved his hand behind him, and Immediately several Gong Family youths carried three stretchers over.

The three people on the stretchers all had pale, unconscious faces.

Gong Yuan pointed at the three patients, and his Divine expression suddenly became serious.

"I've studied the ailments of these three patients for many years and could never fully cure them, at most I could only provide Relief from their Suffering. Now, you may choose one of them for Healing; I want to see what skill you have!"

Jiang Feng walked to the three stretchers and carefully examined each patient's condition.

Gong Yuan stood aside, arms crossed, Cold Smile as he watched Jiang Feng.

These ailments even left him helpless; he didn't believe Jiang Feng could discern anything.

The people around also held their Breath, staring tightly at Jiang Feng's movements.

Jiang Feng, after finishing the pulse check, lifted his head and said lightly to Gong Yuan.

"Although the ailments of these three patients are strange, they are not incurable. Since this is a competition, then I will cure all three."

"What?"

Jiang Feng's words again left everyone utterly shocked.

Gong Yuan's eyes widened even more, looking at Jiang Feng in disbelief.

"What did you say? All three? Jiang Feng, don't brag here!"
