Chapter 217: Battle of the Medics_1

"That’s right."

Yin Tian glanced at the Alchemy Furnace in front of him and nodded with satisfaction.

"This Alchemy Furnace is a relic passed down from ancient times; it’s said to have been used by a State Preceptor to concoct medicines for the emperor."

Zhao Wanlin explained to Yin Tian with a smile.

Yin Tian stepped forward, extending his hand and gently touching the ancient patterns on the Alchemy Furnace.

This furnace, at the very least, must have a history of over a thousand years.

Just then.

From a distance, a loud shout suddenly erupted, "What are you doing!"

Yin Tian and Zhao Wanlin turned their heads to look, only to see a man striding toward them. "Who are you? Why have I never seen you before?"

"You also dare to touch this furnace; can you afford the responsibility if it’s damaged?"

Upon hearing this, Yin Tian couldn’t help but laugh in anger, "Damaged? This Alchemy Furnace, made of bronze, has survived longer than you’ve been alive. Tell me, how can I possibly damage it?"

The man let out a cold snort and glanced at Yin Tian, "Hmph, who on earth are you? This place is the provincial Traditional Chinese Medicine Association, and you can’t enter without being a member of our association!"

"I brought him in."

Zhao Wanlin spoke up coldly, obviously having a poor relationship with this person. "Xu Dabin, do you have a problem with that?"

"Of course, I have a problem with that!"

The man named Xu Dabin shot a glance at Zhao Wanlin. "Don’t you know what place this is? Yet you still dare to bring an outsider in!"

"As a senior member of the provincial Traditional Chinese Medicine Association, I should have the right to invite new members, right?"

"Oh? Then have him show his membership card."

"You’re being unreasonable!"

Zhao Wanlin was also infuriated.

He understood that Xu Dabin’s behavior was completely targeted at him.

"Kid, get out of here; this isn’t a place you can come to."

Xu Dabin looked at Yin Tian with a sneer and reached out to pull at Yin Tian’s wrist, attempting to take him out of there.

Yin Tian shook off Xu Dabin’s hand and said indifferently, "What, are the people of the provincial Traditional Chinese Medicine Association always so arrogant?"

Xu Dabin gave Yin Tian a look, "At least towards outsiders, we are just like that."

Yin Tian, not bothering to deal with Xu Dabin, instead turned to Zhao Wanlin. "Now go and get my membership processed."

"Ha..."

Xu Dabin looked disdainfully at Yin Tian and said, "Do you think just anyone can join the provincial Traditional Chinese Medicine Association? You, wanting to join the association, might as well wait another ten years."

And Zhao Wanlin also had a troubled expression as he looked at Yin Tian, "That’s right, to join the provincial Traditional Chinese Medicine Association, various examinations are indeed required."

"Then it needs to be approved, and the association only recruits new members once a year."

Yin Tian frowned. "Isn’t there any way I can join the provincial Traditional Chinese Medicine Association as quickly as possible?"

Not to mention he couldn’t wait a year, Ye Qinghuang couldn’t either.

And without joining this provincial Traditional Chinese Medicine Association, he obviously wouldn’t be able to use the Alchemy Furnace.

"A way..."

Zhao Wanlin thought for a moment, and then a look of surprise appeared in his eyes, "There isn’t no way!"

"What way?"

"As long as you defeat other members with your medical skills and pass the written exam, you can become a member directly."

"Then what are we waiting for?"

Yin Tian immediately raised his hand, pointing at Xu Dabin, "Him."

Upon hearing this, Xu Dabin let out a sarcastic laugh, "You want to compete with me in medical skills? You think you’re worthy?"

Yin Tian’s expression was very serious, "What else?"

Xu Dabin looked deeply at Yin Tian; he could tell that Yin Tian was serious.

"Hmph!"

He let out a cold hum, his face showing a scornful sneer, "Fine then, I’ll give you this opportunity. But if you lose, get out immediately and never let me see you again!"

Yin Tian nodded, "Okay."

Xu Dabin was unaware of where Yin Tian’s confidence came from, daring to challenge him.

"Just so happens, today is the day the provincial Traditional Chinese Medicine Association treats patients for free."

As Xu Dabin spoke, he was already stepping towards the front hall. "So let’s see who among us can cure more patients."

Yin Tian’s face carried a smile, showing no opposition to Xu Dabin’s suggestion.

Soon, the three of them arrived at the front hall.

There, many people had already gathered.

These were all patients who had come for treatment.

The provincial Traditional Chinese Medicine Association could be considered the hall all traditional Chinese medicine practitioners in the province aspired to join. Everyone who could join here was highly skilled in medicine.

Therefore, many patients specifically waited for the monthly treatment session organized by the association and came from afar.

Observing the more than a hundred patients present, Xu Dabin began to speak at a measured pace, "With so many patients, in one hour, whoever cures more or provides more treatment proposals, will be declared the winner. How does that sound?"

Yin Tian nodded slowly, his face still smiling, "That sounds good."

The news that someone wanted to gain membership by competing in medical skills had attracted many members of the provincial Traditional Chinese Medicine Association as well.
