Chapter 561: 498 Can Miss Lin, the great-great-grandchild of Emperor Ying, manage it? [1 more update] Chapter 561: 498 Can Miss Lin, the great-great-grandchild of Emperor Ying, manage it? [1 more update] In the Ancient Medical Field, there is an unwritten rule recognized by all the renowned Ancient Medicine practitioners.
The same patient, during the same period of treatment, can only be treated by one Ancient Medicine practitioner.
Ancient Medicine originated over three hundred years ago, and has since developed into many factions, with a certain divergence from the most ancient practices.
The Ancient Divine Doctor, now over eighty years old, does not belong to any of the Ancient Medicine Families.
However, because of his exceptional medical skills, he holds a high position and reputation in the Ancient Medical Field.
Every year, the Ancient Divine Doctor holds a disciple recruitment conference in the Ancient Medical Field, but being proud and exacting, he persists in the idea of preferring lack over mediocrity. Thus, he has not taken any disciples until now.
The only younger person he is close to is Lin Qingjia.
His agreement to come to O Continent was indeed due to Lin Qingjia.
“Ancient Divine Doctor,” Lin Qingjia’s expression changed, knowing what the Ancient Divine Doctor was thinking, she immediately interrupted, “There are no such rules from the Ancient Medical Field here in O Continent.”
She would not underestimate The Four Great Financial Groups of O Continent as the older generation did.
That The Four Great Financial Groups of O Continent could use External Force to grant their mercenaries the Cultivation of ancient martial artists was already terrifying enough.
How bad could the medical skills of a divine doctor be, one whom the Bevin Family had personally invited?
However, the medical techniques of the entire world were indeed backward compared to the Ancient Medical Field.
She had also seen several professors reputed to be the top in the world of medicine, whose skills were far inferior to Ancient Medicine.
Ancient Medicine practitioners can use Inner Strength and Acupuncture Technique to force out the deepest impurities in the human body, what is known in martial arts dramas as Bone Washing and Marrow Cleansing, something that modern medical technology cannot do.
Lin Qingjia’s gaze fell on Ying Zijin, filled with a mixture of contemplation and inquiry.
“Since I have come,” The Ancient Divine Doctor’s eyes were cloudy, yet suddenly showed a piercing sharpness, as he looked straight at Ying Zijin who was drinking tea, “if you wish to treat the patient alongside me, I must ask you these questions.”
“Do you know what ‘The Origin of Ancient Medicine’ is, what ‘Golden Needle Crossing Points’ means, or what ‘Thirteen Ghost Gate Needles’ are?”
“Or have you read ‘Principles of Ancient Medicine’, ‘Supreme Yi Divine Needles’, or ‘Five Dragon Needle Technique’?”
Hearing these familiar names, Ying Zijin put down her teacup, finally looked up at the Ancient Divine Doctor, and said indifferently, “I don’t know, I haven’t seen them.”
Indeed, she did not know when these very basic Ancient Medicine treatments became worth mentioning.
It seemed then that the current Ancient Medicine was indeed weak.
“You do not know these, yet you wish to treat a patient with me? I may not be the most modest, but I am versed in these,” the Ancient Divine Doctor scoffed, his voice cold, “I’ll put it here, you can only choose one person to treat.”
Evan was anxious and wished the Ancient Divine Doctor would just shut up.
But because Ying Zijin was sitting there, he felt a fear in his heart and couldn’t even lift his legs, only standing there trembling.
Yiwen just wanted to faint.
Only Rita drank the Hua Country tea that Ying Zijin had brought her with calmness, laughing after a sip, “What now, the Number One Poison Master of NOK also has to obey you? Who do you think you are?”
The moment these words were spoken, the middle-aged man’s complexion instantly changed, his calm demeanor shattered, turning to astonishment, “Number One Poison Master?”
Evan wiped his sweat, his legs trembling as he finally spoke, “Uncle Taylor, what Rita invited has already spread throughout NOK forum.”
The middle-aged man had been in the Ancient Martial World these past days and had not paid attention to the outside world’s news, still completely unaware of the stir on NOK forum.
The Ancient Divine Doctor’s brows furrowed and he remained displeased, “What’s NOK?”
He had no desire to come to O Continent.
Not only is there nothing good about it, but he also had to carry around a pitch-black translator, totally incongruous with his image.
Lin Qingjia was also taken aback, “A poison master? And number one at that?”
She indeed knew about NOK and those hunter rankings but hadn’t paid much attention to them.
Only the Xie Family in the Ancient Martial World cared greatly because they had many feuds.
The NOK hunter ranking represented the Martial Power of O Continent, as there were very few Hua Country people on the list.
“Got it, then apologize quickly,” Rita’s temper was not good and she flicked the silver gun in her hand, scoffing, “This Miss Lin… at least you’ve been exposed to modern high technology, don’t you know that the Number One Poison Master wiped out an S-rank Mercenary Group in just one second yesterday?”
“Oh, you don’t understand, let me phrase it differently, it’s like over twenty ancient martial artists with fifty years of Cultivation.”
“Have a look, can you do that?”
