Strongest Medical Saint

Kong Yaonian glared angrily at Li Zhenfa and the other three elders. In his eyes, Shen Feng was the hope for revitalizing traditional Chinese medicine, the hope for letting it flourish and thrive. His face turned slightly red with anger as he said, "Little Brother Shen will definitely participate in this selection competition, and no one can stop him."

Seeing Kong Yaonian defending a fraud to such an extent, Li Zhenfa's face fell completely as he felt deeply slighted. "Absurd, I think you've become senile. Are you satisfied only when you've made our Wuzhou medical circle lose face?"

Shao Manhong also spoke seriously, "Old Kong, if that kid is going to participate in the selection competition, then count me out. I cannot afford to lose face like this. Am I supposed to let others laugh at us?"

Li Zhenfa nodded and smiled, "Exactly, I won't participate either. You decide what to do!"

Shao Manhong and Li Zhenfa were confident, as the authority figures in Wuzhou's Western medicine community, their words clearly carried a threatening tone.

Kong Yaonian was responsible for registering participants in Wuzhou this time and reporting the list up.

Kong Xiaoxuan's eyebrows slightly furrowed. Although she wished she could bite Shen Feng to death, she disliked seeing her grandfather being threatened.

Xiang Guihua tried to mediate, "We've all known each other for over a decade, let's each take a step back! Is there any point in getting so worked up that we turn red in the face and neck?"

Li Zhenfa was ungrateful, "Old Xiang, today Old Kong must give me an explanation. We can't let a kid blacken the name of Wuzhou's medical community!"

Kong Yaonian could no longer contain his anger and retorted, "Old Shao, Old Li, don't think that the Wuzhou medical community can't do without you. If I have to choose between you and Little Brother Shen, naturally I'll choose Little Brother Shen. Honestly, neither of you is a match for even one of Little Brother Shen's fingers."

Since Li Zhenfa and Shao Manhong had gone this far, Kong Yaonian saw no need to save face for them, and his fury completely erupted.

Upon hearing this.

Li Zhenfa and Shao Manhong were slightly stunned; they hadn't expected Kong Yaonian to make such a choice, looking even uglier than if they had swallowed excrement.

This domestic medical selection competition gathered renowned doctors from all over the country. Furthermore, standing out could mean representing Huaxia Country in the international medical competition, which would definitely lead to both fame and fortune.

Li Zhenfa and Shao Manhong were just making empty threats. With their medical skills, even if they couldn't represent Huaxia Country in the international competition, they were confident they could achieve a good ranking in the selection. As long as they made a name for themselves, their status in the domestic medical circle would naturally rise.

But, words once spoken, like water thrown out, could not be taken back.

Li Zhenfa and Shao Manhong stared at Kong Yaonian.

"What are you looking at me for? You'd better keep your promise and not let me see you sneakily participating in the domestic selection competition. One must have some shame, don't you think?" Kong Yaonian's angry expression had disappeared, and he looked at Li Zhenfa and Shao Manhong with a smile.

Although he had known these two old men for more than a decade, if anyone dared to hinder the rise of traditional Chinese medicine, even if it were his own ancestors rising from their graves, he would show no respect.

"Old Kong, you really have some nerve. Don't come to regret this," Li Zhenfa swept away with his sleeves.

Shao Manhong snorted coldly, "I'll watch as Wuzhou's medical community embarrasses itself because of your decision."

Having said this, he too walked out of the Kong Family's villa.

Xu Yuanhai and Xiang Guihua, however, stayed. Just now, Kong Yaonian was in essence praising traditional Chinese medicine, and though they also thought it unlikely, they hadn't spoken overly harsh words, since they too were practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine.

"Old Kong, can't we just sit down and talk this over properly?" Xu Yuanhai sighed.

Kong Yaonian watched as Li Zhenfa and Shao Manhong left, saying, "Those two old fools are really shortsighted. Just you wait! One day, they will regret their decision."

Xu Yuanhai and Xiang Guihua shook their heads inwardly. They too did not believe that Shen Feng had any profound knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine. The current Kong Yaonian was simply bewitched, utterly unable to extricate himself.

They didn't want to miss the domestic medical selection competition, so naturally, they wouldn't threaten Kong Yaonian anymore. Now that Li Zhenfa and Shao Manhong had left, they said a word to Kong Yaonian and then left the Kong Family as well.

After everyone had left,

Kong Xiaoxuan spoke up, "Grandfather, why do you favor that boy so much? What if he really isn't that skilled?"

Kong Yaonian waved his hand impatiently, "Do you really think your grandfather has become senile? Think I've gone muddle-headed? Rest assured, I know what I'm doing. You're going to participate in the selection too. Although you are far from matching Little Brother Shen, you must also try hard."

Kong Xiaoxuan clenched her silver teeth and muttered, "Grandfather, am I really still your granddaughter?"

Having said that,

she ran straight upstairs, thinking to herself, "You little rascal, even if you know a bit of medical skills, I don't believe your medical expertise is that great. I will prove this point during the medical selection competition."

Watching his granddaughter huffily run upstairs, Kong Yaonian shook his head helplessly.

...

After Shen Feng returned home, Shen Anming and Zhang Xuezheng were naturally overjoyed.

The family happily chatted for a long time. Shen Feng didn't give the Fireball Talisman to his parents; he planned to refine two higher-grade Life-saving Jade Amulets for them, which would be equipped for both offense and defense and certainly more powerful than the Fireball Talisman.

The family had a harmonious dinner together.

After dinner, they sat together and watched TV for a while. After nine o'clock at night, Shen Anmin and Zhang Xuezheng went to take a bath and then to bed.

Shen Feng entered his own room.

Now that he had acquired the Yin Spirit Grass, breeding it would not be a problem.

However, alchemy was not so simple; the most basic requirement was a source of flame, and an ordinary flame definitely could not be used to make Pills.

For the current Shen Feng, making Innate Pills was a matter of urgency. As long as he had Innate Pills, his advancement into the Foundation Establishment Stage would be much faster.

He originally relied on his Lifebound Flame within to do Alchemy.

However, when his cultivation was scattered, his Lifebound Flame dissipated as well.

Now, he had to reignite the Lifebound Flame within his body. Of course, besides the Lifebound Flame within a person,

there were other flames that could be used for Alchemy, such as Earth Heart Fire, among others.

However, using flames outside of the body meant Alchemy could only be done in a fixed location; the Lifebound Flame came from within the body, with far fewer restrictions.

In the Immortal Realm, not everyone could ignite the Lifebound Flame within their body; otherwise, Alchemists would be a dime a dozen.

It could be said that Alchemists held an extraordinary position in the Immortal Realm.

Of course, without igniting the Lifebound Flame within, it wasn't necessarily impossible to become an Alchemist. Relying on outside flames was also feasible, but such individuals had very limited achievements in the field of Alchemy in their lifetimes, mostly lingering at the bottom and only able to concoct basic Pills.

However, even using external flames, embarking on the path of an Alchemist was incredibly difficult.
