I Became a Medical Genius in the 80s-Chapter 742 - 741: Doubts

Ding Hailiang looked at the woman who had hardly changed in four years, and his heart surged. Since she had come, it was surely not just to sit around and leave; could there be another miracle to witness this time?

"Is this woman the head of the Qingyu Sect, that Great Power?" Another permanent member, Du Jun, asked incredulously.

Even though rumors said the head of the Qingyu Sect was very young, this youth was too much!

"This... she’s not much older than my granddaughter!" No one paid attention, and Du Jun mumbled to himself.

Du Jun had spent two years in the army, not as a military doctor, but as an enlisted soldier, so he had a certain bloodiness about him and spoke straightforwardly. Du Jun had a square face by nature, and combined with this personality, many might think he was difficult to get along with, but those familiar with him knew he was quite talkative.

Sun Lihua was the opposite of him, smiling like Maitreya Buddha all day long, but actually not so easy to talk to. If you annoyed him, you’d get pricked many times; he was somewhat vengeful.

"Look, that’s the heir of the Shi Family beside her," Sun Lihua said with a smile.

Ding Hailiang nodded, "This Doctor Bei has always been familiar with the Shi Family’s heir. But over the years, no one has been able to glean a bit of information about her from this young master of the Shi Family; his mouth is very tight!"

"I’ve heard he didn’t even tell the Shi Family!" Sun Lihua showed a strange expression. Logically, that shouldn’t be the case, but to say Shi Guang and Beisitian aren’t familiar is not right either. Many have seen them dine together and participate in difficult medical projects, talking and laughing, definitely not strangers.

Du Jun glanced at the surveillance monitor, where there was only a man and a woman in the corner, and clicked his tongue, "Many attending this banquet attended the last exchange meeting; how come no one went up to say hello or anything?"

Ding Hailiang pointed to the other side, "Everyone’s attention is over there; I guess no one expected a Great Power to be sitting in the corner behind them. That said, there are three Great Powers this time, much higher class than the last banquet!"

Whether it’s an exchange meeting or a banquet, besides the obvious scale indicated by the number of attendees, the real gauge to elevate the class depends on the presence of major families and sects for mystic doctors, but if Great Powers can be invited, it’s immediately different.

Every time the host families and sects of the exchange meetings unite to invite these Great Powers, with far more appeal than the Association, they’ve always overshadowed the Association.

This time, the higher-ups personally reached out, inviting two Great Powers, also stimulated by the last exchange meeting, where a Great Power appeared unexpectedly.

More importantly, it heightened the exchange meeting’s fame, raising it to a higher level. Beisitian’s appearance almost eradicated the possibility of the Association surpassing the exchange meeting.

This is also why the Association used political power to invite two Great Powers this time.

"Should we invite her to the VIP room?" Du Jun felt this should be done; this is a Great Power, after all. The higher-ups spent so much effort, resources, and promises to invite two, and here comes one by herself.

Sun Lihua also looked at Ding Hailiang; both listened to him.

Ding Hailiang pondered for a moment but shook his head, "Don’t move for now. She might not want us to disturb her. First, check Qingyu Sect’s Jiang Mingzhong’s background. The name seems familiar."

Du Jun had a flash of inspiration and said, "Could it be that Jiang Mingzhong who became a wastrel due to spiritual exhaustion? It should be a namesake, right?"

With his words, Ding Hailiang’s eyes immediately brightened, "Is it really that hard to look up someone? Haven’t the dispatched people returned yet?"

The three talked in front of the surveillance, and the banquet competition began. This kind of banquet is about exchanging competitions; without something exciting, after dinner, people would head home, and who would attend next time?

Whether it’s a gimmick or any other means, the competition is the highlight of the banquet. Those who win the competition receive generous rewards, so much so that even mystic doctors would be tempted.

There were a total of more than thirty participants after one round of preliminary selection. The competition was not that complicated, with three stages, giving corresponding challenges and data, anyone who could achieve the data was considered to have passed.

So the final winners might be one, several, or none at all!

It’s a different format from an exchange meeting, but many people find it interesting; they give you a challenge, a passing line, and see if you have the ability to cross it!

Of course, there’s a limited amount of rewards, so if many win, a ranking would be needed to distribute rewards.

Among the thirty-seven participants, Jiang Mingzhong was one, and Qiu Liang was another. However, this time Qiu Liang seemed to be behaving and didn’t stir up trouble, not because of a sudden conscience but because someone told him to hold back.

Jiang Mingzhong was always wary of Qiu Liang, seeing him so well-behaved, knowing he was scheming something, and dared not let down his guard. However, upon seeing the host of this competition was Guan Tongshan, he knew the competition would certainly have issues!

Guan Tongshan was one of the main judges of this competition, among five judges, with minority obeying the majority in case of disputes.

Guan Tongshan skimmed over the thirty-seven participants below, quickly passing over Jiang Mingzhong as if he didn’t know him, increasing Jiang Mingzhong’s vigilance.

Guan Tongshan was accustomed to playing dirty tricks, and when planning to act, he certainly wanted the opponent to lower their guard. Jiang Mingzhong was once caught in his trap; otherwise, even with spiritual exhaustion, his years of built network wouldn’t have forced him to leave his hometown and roam far away.

The challenge was sealed in a leather envelope, stored by two permanent members of the Association. Guan Tongshan picked up the first large leather envelope, showing the intact wax seal to everyone before opening it in the middle.

For long-term development, the Association set up many confidentiality measures, so before the opening, Guan Tongshan and other permanent committee members didn’t know the challenge.

The first challenge was to produce a Xuan Talisman for harmonizing menstruation and invigorating blood, requiring the integration of no less than fifty-five types of Chinese herbs and achieving an efficacy percentage no less than seventy!

Harmonizing menstruation and invigorating blood are mostly for female illnesses. Except for a few young faces blushing, dedicated mystic doctors wouldn’t feel embarrassed, as in their eyes, illness has no gender.
