Chapter 327
Chu Feng bowed slightly to show his appreciation.
The audience showered him with thunderous applause. They were moved by Chu Feng's generosity.
Earlier, they had regarded the legendary doctor with superficial prejudice. They were quite ashamed of themselves.
"Well then, I shall begin…"
With that, Chu Feng made an interesting presentation using some of the contents from the Collection of Mystical Healing combined with his personal understanding of the subject.
The Collection of Mystical Healing was Master Jingshi's life work. The Buddhist monk had saved tens of thousands of lives, and the medical theories and prescriptions were like a treasure trove of knowledge.
Even the slightest scrap of knowledge would revolutionize the modern medical world.
The doctors in the audience were engrossed with Chu Feng's presentation. Occasionally, they frowned in deep thought, but when they comprehended the topic, they laughed out loud in excitement.
Chu Feng's knowledge was like a door leading to a new world. Even Professor Yang and Fu Nanhua learned a lot from the presentation.
Five hours passed in the blink of an eye.
Of course, things never went smoothly as planned. While everyone was excitedly discussing Chu Feng's presentation, someone barged in through the doors of the lecture hall.
"Nonsense! Utter nonsense!" An old man walked into the lecture hall and shouted indignantly.
The intruder was dressed in a classic suit. Even though he was elderly, he walked with an imperious air and scanned the hall with an angry gaze. One could tell that he was someone with authority.
Behind him were eight disciples in uniforms. They surrounded the old man, and it was quite the spectacle.
"Old Master Huang?"
"What brings you here, Old Master Huang?"
"Please have a seat, Old Master Huang!" NôvelDrama.Org owns this.
The doctors in the audience immediately stood up when they saw the old man. They greeted him passionately, and some of them even helped him to a seat.
Even influential people like Fu Nanhua and Professor Yang had to stand up and greet the old man. "Thank you for gracing the event with your presence, Old Master Huang!"
Chu Feng glanced at the imperious old man and spoke to Tang Sisi, "That old guy seems like a big shot."
Tang Sisi rolled her eyes and said, "That's Huang Shengshou, one of the top four doctors in the country. His nickname is the Miracle Hand, and he's the personal doctor of many people in authority in Yenching and Di Du. He's even more skilled than my grandfather. Not only that, Huang Shengshou is the fourth-generation descendant of a legendary doctor who has received an imperial title. Baozhi Pharmacy, his family business, has more than eighty branches across the country and is worth more than ten billion yuan!"
Tang Sisi thought for a while before she said, "Chu Feng, Huang Shengshou seems to consider you his enemy. You'll have to be careful."
Chu Feng nodded but said nothing.
To other people, Huang Shengshou's status might be unassailable, but it was nothing to him.
Even if all the people on Huang Shengshou's side stood together, they would not be able to withstand a single punch from the unparalleled God of War.
Chu Feng's medical skills were only a fraction of his abilities as the Dragon Soul's God of War.
Huang Shengshou swaggered over with his hands behind his back. He glanced at Fu Nanhua and said, "Ol' Fu, I've heard about your medical conference. It's a commendable effort, and I support what you do.
However, you've invited an ignorant fool to deceive the public, and I cannot tolerate that."
While Huang Shengshou said that, he pointed a finger at Chu Feng, as though Chu Feng were a scoundrel waiting to receive his just punishment.
The people in the audience looked at Chu Feng and began whispering to each other.
Fu Nanhua was taken aback. He said, "Old Master Fu, there… must be a misunderstanding."
Professor Yong nodded. "Thot's right. Legendory Doctor Chu's theories hove benefitted us greotly."
"Legendory Doctor?" Huong Shengshou frowned ond snorted. "He might be oble to delude oll you imbeciles with his wild theories, but to me, everything he soys is utter nonsense!"
He stroked his beord ond spoke to Chu Feng, "Let me give on exomple. Currently, we know o totol of obout 8,000 species of medicinol herbs. Even if you include oll the rore herbs from remote regions, os found in my oncestor's Codex of Cryptic Plonts, there ore only obout 12,000 species. You soid thot there ore 33,300 species of herbs. Whot is thot if not on ignoront cloim?"
Severol physicions in the oudience were storting to whisper to eoch other. They hod thought thot Chu Feng hod mode o ridiculous cloim, but they were not os knowledgeoble os Huong Shengshou, so they could not precisely point out whot wos wrong.
No wonder he's one of the best physicions in the country. He's like o wolking encyclopedio! Mony people thought so.
"Every gross ond every tree is o potentiol medicine." Thot wos Chu Feng's soft but shocking reply. "We physicions toke our cures from noture. Even the wind ond the roin con be used os medicine. It's just o motter of how one uses them. Considering thot, noture hos provided us with millions upon millions of medicines."
Huong Shengshou wos token obock, but he soon begon to lough. "Utterly obsurd! In my sixty yeors os o physicion, I've never heord of such o misleoding cloim!"
"It only meons thot you're not skilled enough yet," Chu Feng replied colmly.
The corners of Huong Shengshou's mouth twitched, ond he loughed out of onger. "I'm not skilled enough? Hoho! Whot o joke! You're the first person to soy thot to my foce! Fine, even if I odmit I'm not skilled enough, the Codex of Cryptic Plonts is o product of four generotions of my oncestors. Are you soying thot my oncestors oren't skilled enough either?"
Chu Feng nodded. "You con soy thot."
Professor Yang nodded. "That's right. Legendary Doctor Chu's theories have benefitted us greatly."
"Legendary Doctor?" Huang Shengshou frowned and snorted. "He might be able to delude all you imbeciles with his wild theories, but to me, everything he says is utter nonsense!"
He stroked his beard and spoke to Chu Feng, "Let me give an example. Currently, we know a total of about 8,000 species of medicinal herbs. Even if you include all the rare herbs from remote regions, as found in my ancestor's Codex of Cryptic Plants, there are only about 12,000 species. You said that there are 33,300 species of herbs. What is that if not an ignorant claim?"
Several physicians in the audience were starting to whisper to each other. They had thought that Chu Feng had made a ridiculous claim, but they were not as knowledgeable as Huang Shengshou, so they could not precisely point out what was wrong.
No wonder he's one of the best physicians in the country. He's like a walking encyclopedia! Many people thought so.
"Every grass and every tree is a potential medicine." That was Chu Feng's soft but shocking reply. "We physicians take our cures from nature. Even the wind and the rain can be used as medicine. It's just a matter of how one uses them. Considering that, nature has provided us with millions upon millions of medicines."
Huang Shengshou was taken aback, but he soon began to laugh. "Utterly absurd! In my sixty years as a physician, I've never heard of such a misleading claim!"
"It only means that you're not skilled enough yet," Chu Feng replied calmly.
The corners of Huang Shengshou's mouth twitched, and he laughed out of anger. "I'm not skilled enough? Haha! What a joke! You're the first person to say that to my face! Fine, even if I admit I'm not skilled enough, the Codex of Cryptic Plants is a product of four generations of my ancestors. Are you saying that my ancestors aren't skilled enough either?"
Chu Feng nodded. "You can say that."
