Bai Zihe was overjoyed; he had waited for this day for too long.
He quickly pressed on, "What is the method? Please teach me, Chairman Fang!"
Chairman Fang smiled and shook his head.
Under Bai Zihe's disappointed gaze, he slowly said, "It's not that I'm unwilling to teach you, Mr. Bai. It's just that I've only heard of this method and am not proficient in it, so how dare I teach it carelessly."
Bai Zihe was stunned.
This statement, in essence, conveyed a crucial piece of information.
"However, you don't need to be discouraged."
Fang Yongzheng continued, "This method will appear at the upcoming Medical Grand Gathering in a few days. If you wish to know, you can participate in it."
The Medical Grand Gathering.
Bai Zihe immediately took note of it.
"Thank you, Chairman Fang, for informing me of such important news. I shall remember this kindness, Bai Zihe!"
After their polite exchange, Bai Zihe returned to Tenglong Bay.
He immediately summoned Xue'er.
"Xue'er, register for the Medical Grand Gathering in my name immediately."
Xue'er naturally complied.
She also informed Bai Zihe about some of the rules for the Medical Grand Gathering.
"Young Master, this Medical Grand Gathering is a major event in the medical community!"
A solemn expression flickered in Xue'er's beautiful eyes. "Even the first round of registration shows its uniqueness."
Bai Zihe's eyebrows perked up.
"This round..."
Xue'er continued, "will involve publicly announcing all registered physicians, and then everyone will vote together."
"The most popular, highest-achieving, and most renowned divine doctors will be selected."
"The second round will test the ability to recognize and identify herbs."
"The third round will test physicians' detoxification skills."
"The fourth round..."
At this point, Xue'er couldn't help but gasp, "Physicians who reach this round will all have to consume poison and then undergo the entire process from symptom presentation to diagnosis and detoxification."
Consuming poison...
It was certainly innovative and interesting.
Bai Zihe suddenly felt a touch of anticipation for this Medical Grand Gathering.
He recalled that when his martial aunt taught him the Yin-Yang Seventy-Two Needles, she had mentioned that it could cure all peculiar poisons and ailments in the world.
However, he...
had used it extensively in combat, but rarely in healing.
This made Bai Zihe feel a slight blush of shame.
He would see.
what was unique about this Medical Grand Gathering.
After returning to Tenglong Bay, Bai Zihe made some preparations for the Medical Grand Gathering, but before he could delve deeper, another phone call disrupted his plans.
"Junior Brother, things are not looking good."
It was his Fifth Senior Sister, Yue Rushuang, her voice filled with urgency.
Bai Zihe quickly asked, "Fifth Senior Sister, what has happened? Please tell me slowly."
"After you left, a group of 'Ying' people came to the provincial city."
"These 'Ying' people are arrogant and covetous, seeking to plunder resources. They clashed with several factions under Second Senior Sister's command."
Bai Zihe's gaze instantly turned cold.
The provincial city...
It had been pacified after repeated battles.
It was now basically stable, and these 'Ying' people were emerging to seize the fruits of victory. How could such a thing be allowed!
"So, Second Senior Sister went to negotiate with them."
"The result..."
"Second Senior Sister went early this morning and hasn't returned yet."
"I called to inquire just now, and it was one of the 'Ying' people who answered. They've detained Second Senior Sister!"
Even through the phone screen,
Bai Zihe could sense his Fifth Senior Sister's fury.
And he himself felt a surging flame ignite within him, soaring to the heavens!
"Fifth Senior Sister, I'm coming over now."
Bai Zihe responded, then hung up the phone and took a car to the airport.
A few hours later.
Bai Zihe and Yue Rushuang met at the provincial city airport.
"Junior Brother, you've arrived."
The 'Ying' people were brutal and their actions were strange.
Bai Zihe, worried about his Second Senior Sister, immediately said, "Fifth Senior Sister, there's no time to delay. Let's go to where the 'Ying' people are holding Second Senior Sister."
Yue Rushuang had the same intention. "Alright, I'll take you there now."
The two soon drove to a street.
After parking by the roadside, they entered it.
But this street...
Bai Zihe found it extremely displeasing.
Unlike the red bricks and white walls of the main part of Daxia, the buildings here were mostly of wood and brick construction, with a generally blocky, modular form, filled with the architectural style of the 'Ying' people.
And the shops by the roadside...
The pedestrians coming and going...
were also mostly in kimonos, or styles resembling them.
It was hard to imagine.
Deep within Daxia's territory.
there was such a street with 'Ying' style!
Bai Zihe clearly remembered.
The street adjacent to this one was where the Drunken Immortal Pavilion was located.
When he had last visited, it was not like this at all. In such a short time, how could it have changed so drastically...
If left unchecked, wouldn't the entire provincial city, or even the entire Jiangdong Province, become 'Ying'tized?
"Fifth Senior Sister."
"What is this street called, and when was it rebuilt?"
Bai Zihe's voice was deep and suppressed, and Yue Rushuang could easily detect his displeasure.
In fact,
she was also very unhappy with this street.
The pavilions and towers of the Xuantian Pavilion's headquarters were the most direct proof.
"It was when those 'Ying' people appeared, as I told you on the phone."
Yue Rushuang's voice was filled with anger. "They occupied this street and then transformed it into this 'Ying' style street."
Bai Zihe's eyes narrowed slightly.
On Daxia's land,
there should be no such 'Ying'tized streets. Absolutely not!
"This street..."
"is diametrically opposed to our Daxia's cultural elements. If this continues, it will undoubtedly lead people's hearts to the 'Ying' people, and it is a most shameful method of cultural invasion."
Bai Zihe said with a grim face, leaving no room for doubt, "Go and find a hundred bulldozers. We will demolish this place immediately!"
