Chapter 256 The Hundred Great Sacred Hands of Ancient Medicine_1

Seeing the old man’s displeased face, the man also apologized to Wei Wang with a smile, then walked back to the old man’s side.

"Divine Doctor Jia, I am truly sorry."

The man bowed and nodded to the old man with a smile, lifted his hand to point, and pointed towards the baby in Wei Wang’s arms, "My daughter is over there; please, Divine Doctor Jia, step this way."

Physician Jia snorted and finally stepped forward, walking up to Wei Wang, but didn’t even glance at Wei Wang; he just reached out to take the child.

But Wei Wang twisted his body, smiling radiantly at Physician Jia, "I am Wei Wang, humbly serving as the chairman of the Provincial Traditional Medicine Association. May I ask how to address you?"

Upon hearing Wei Wang’s words, Physician Jia finally slowly lifted his head, glanced at Wei Wang, and then let out a contemptuous snort, "The chairman of the Provincial Traditional Medicine Association? Quite a reputation indeed, but why couldn’t you cure even such a minor illness?"

"Has the standard of traditional medicine in the province deteriorated to this level? To elect someone like you as the chairman of the Provincial Traditional Medicine Association, tsk tsk tsk."

Wei Wang also hadn’t expected that this Divine Doctor Jia would speak so rudely, mocking him right from the start!

And behind Wei Wang, Li Hui obviously couldn’t stand seeing someone mock his teacher like this, and with the frustration from the incident involving Yin Tian already simmering within him, he finally couldn’t hesitate any longer and unleashed his anger.

"What are you saying, you old coot?"

Li Hui rushed forward, angrily looking at Physician Jia, "Then what are you capable of? To dare spew such words here, my teacher has never delved into this kind of illness, so it’s only natural he’s not too familiar with it. What’s there for you to brag about?"

"Just because you stand with your hands clasped behind your back and wear a long robe, do you really think you’re someone important?"

"Hey, Li Hui, shut your mouth, don’t spout nonsense. You should respect your elders, understand?"

Although Wei Wang was trying to stop Li Hui, the satisfied look in his eyes was unmistakably unrestrainable.

However, after listening to Li Hui’s words, not a trace of anger could be seen on Physician Jia’s face, instead, he slowly smiled, and leisurely lifted his hand.

The young man behind Physician Jia immediately stepped forward, respectfully handing over a badge to Physician Jia’s hand.

"Take a good look, do you recognize it?"

Physician Jia extended the badge towards Li Hui and Wei Wang, his face bearing a mocking smile.

"Just a lousy badge, what’s there to show off about, seriously..."

Li Hui was about to say more but suddenly noticed that the expression of Wei Wang beside him had changed.

"Teacher? What’s wrong?"

Li Hui looked at Wei Wang, bewildered, not understanding why Wei Wang would show such an expression.

"One of the Hundred Great Sages of Ancient Medicine..."

Wei Wang murmured, his face revealing an incredulous look.

"What ’ancient’ something ’sages’?"

Li Hui hadn’t even clearly heard what Wei Wang had actually said.

"At least you have some knowledge,"

Physician Jia leisurely looked at Wei Wang, "Now that you know this badge, you should understand what it signifies."

Wei Wang’s face turned somewhat pale as he slowly nodded.

"Teacher, what exactly is that badge?"

Li Hui was completely befuddled, blankly staring at Wei Wang.

"The Hundred Great Sages of Ancient Medicine... were decided after a series of extremely strict selections, the final hundred strongest physicians..."

Wei Wang stood there, his eyes glazed over, murmuring, "The Hundred Great Sages of Ancient Medicine... represent among today’s masters of ancient medicine, the most formidable hundred individuals..."

Hearing this, Li Hui was instantly petrified, "What? This old guy?"

"If you don’t believe it, this badge cannot be faked; it has my surname and number engraved on it. Do I need to take out my ID as well to show you so that you won’t have doubts?"

Physician Jia looked disdainfully at Wei Wang, "Limited by narrow views, you shouldn’t really think you’re that capable. To be honest, if it weren’t for Mr. Wang’s earnest pleading, I might not have even bothered coming to this place."

"The senior’s lesson is well taken..."

Wei Wang slightly bowed, his face wearing a bitter smile.

Just as Physician Jia had said, he was nothing but a country bumpkin secluded in a corner.

What did he have, to contend with one of the Hundred Great Sages of Ancient Medicine like Physician Jia?

"Is that ’Hundred Great Sages of Ancient Medicine’ thing even reliable? It’s not just some random contest, where a few mediocre fellas are picked, having a casual competition, and then they hand out a badge like this..."

Li Hui spoke under his breath, still not quite convinced that the person before him really had such significant clout.

"That competition back then was called the grand assembly of ancient medicine practitioners. Countless people participated at the time; famous physicians from all over gathered there, easily numbering in the tens of thousands."

Yin Tian stood not far away, speaking indifferently, "But in the end, only a hundred emerged victorious, earning this highest honor."

Physician Jia looked at Yin Tian with surprise, not expecting Yin Tian to be aware of these matters.
