Chapter 394: Chapter 394: Please Send Doctor Fang to Fight on Our Behalf!

Wen Yu extended her hand to help her up and said with a bitter smile, "The one you should thank is not me, but Doctor Fang!"

Fang Bai waved his hand and said, "No need for that, no need. I’ve already been thanked many times just now. Pavilion Master Wen, Aunt Lin, do you two have something to discuss with me?"

Wen Yu and Lin Ruoxue had just arrived together, approaching Fang Bai with an apparent desire to speak, but the topic had been sidetracked due to Wang Miaomiao’s matter.

Wen Yu looked around and, seeing the large number of guests coming and going, found it inconvenient to talk there, so she spoke in a low voice, "Doctor Fang, may I have a word with you in private?"

Fang Bai saw that Wen Yu was being secretive, and Lin Ruoxue smiled without saying a word, not knowing what medicine they were selling in their gourd, he thought for a moment and then nodded.

"Doctor Fang, please follow me. Ruoxue, Miaomiao, you two come along as well."

Wen Yu said this and walked ahead, leading Fang Bai toward the living quarters of the Pavilion Master of Doctor Pavilion.

Lin Ruoxue and Wang Miaomiao followed behind.

The Doctor Pavilion was divided into two parts: the "Outer Pavilion" and the "Inner Pavilion."

Disciples of the "Outer Pavilion" mostly had average aptitude and weaker strength, with little prospect in martial arts and medical expertise. Their main task was to manage the various businesses of the Doctor Pavilion, and they only had the opportunity to practice cultivation in their spare time.

Meanwhile, the disciples of the "Inner Pavilion" excelled in both martial arts and medicine. Most of their time was spent on the cultivation of ancient martial arts and the study of medical skills.

The "Outer Pavilion" was located on a bustling street in Yanjing, consisting of a row of interconnected shops divided into three areas: one area for treating patients, another for offering beauty and health services, and a third for selling medicinal products exclusively.

Wang Miaomiao was previously a member of the "Outer Pavilion," often traveling far and wide to expand the market for the Doctor Pavilion’s medicinal materials and beauty and health products.

The "Inner Pavilion" referred to the current mountaintop complex of buildings where Wen Yu and other high-level figures of the Doctor Pavilion resided year-round. They devoted themselves to the cultivation of ancient martial arts and the understanding of medical knowledge, coming down from the mountain only for important matters.

Fang Bai followed Wen Yu to a classical three-story wooden building at the northwest corner, and they sat down by the window in a room on the third floor.

Looking out the window, the entirety of the mountaintop scenery as well as the distant mountains and waters were almost entirely within view.

After serving the tea, Lin Ruoxue and Wang Miaomiao stood aside with their hands at their sides.

"Doctor Fang, please have some tea."

Wen Yu picked up the teacup and motioned to Fang Bai.

Fang Bai smiled faintly and said, "I’m not one for beating around the bush. Pavilion Master Wen, feel free to speak your mind."

"Alright, Doctor Fang is straightforward, so I won’t hide anything either. To be honest, I’d like to discuss a business deal with you."

Wen Yu considered her words and then spoke earnestly.

Fang Bai remained composed, quietly watching Wen Yu as if waiting for her to continue.

Just like Rejuvenation Hall in Zhongzhou, Doctor Pavilion had numerous businesses and properties throughout Huaxia, which had accumulated astonishing wealth over the years, comparable to some large-scale financial conglomerates.

If it were any other businessman who heard what Wen Yu said, they would’ve been overjoyed, because doing business with Doctor Pavilion meant a tremendous opportunity to strike it rich.

Seeing Fang Bai’s calm and collected demeanor, not showing the slightest ripple of emotion, Wen Yu’s respect for this enigmatic young man grew even more.

"According to the process of the ’World Traditional Chinese Medicine Conference’ from past sessions, starting tomorrow, Doctor Pavilion, Xinglin Courtyard from Jiangnan, Ghost Doctor Sect from Tianshan, Immortal Island from Donghai, and Rejuvenation Hall from Zhongzhou—the five great Ancient Medicine Sects of Huaxia will engage in a three-day medical skills exchange..."

Wen Yu observed Fang Bai’s expression carefully and slowly said, "This so-called medical skills exchange essentially involves selecting some patients from hospitals on the spot and having disciples from the five great Ancient Medicine Sects treat them live. Whoever can achieve the best treatment effect in the shortest time will be the winner."

"During the medical skills exchange, the difficulty will continuously increase, for example, the patients’ conditions will go from mild to severe, and ordinary diseases will turn into various complicated and difficult cases. It’s all about who can navigate through the challenges and emerge as the champion!"

"Of course, only disciples from the five great Ancient Medicine Sects are eligible to participate in this segment of the conference, and there are age restrictions; they must be younger disciples not over thirty years old."

"Frankly speaking, Doctor Pavilion hasn’t had any outstanding talents among our younger disciples in recent years, so I’m quite worried that we may lose to the disciples of the other four great Ancient Medicine Sects in this medical skills exchange..."

Wen Yu let out a sigh and continued with a grave expression, "If we don’t win first place in the medical skills exchange, we’ll lose more than just face and reputation. According to the agreement among the five great Ancient Medicine Sects, we will also lose the right to lead and have to concede a large portion of our market share, which would be a considerable loss."

Fang Bai laughed, "Pavilion Master Wen, you seem to be underestimating yourself. The medical skills exchange hasn’t even started yet, how do you know you won’t come in first?"

Wen Yu said, "The disciples of the Ghost Doctor Sect have already boasted that they will secure first place in this session of the medical skills exchange! Haven’t you noticed the man in black next to Sikong Lieyang? That man’s identity is a mystery, and his past is unknown, but it is said that he’s a powerful helper invited by the Ghost Doctor Sect. Although he is just a Profound Level beginner Martial Artist, I always feel that he’s not as simple as he seems..."

"Hmm, that man is indeed not simple!"

Fang Bai nodded in agreement.

Wen Yu’s guess was correct; that man in black was not just an Earth Level beginner master but also skilled in both medicine and martial arts. If he took action to assist the Ghost Doctor Sect, securing first place wouldn’t be an issue.

"Actually, this session of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Conference isn’t only the Ghost Doctor Sect who has sought outside assistance—all the other major Ancient Medicine Sects have their own backers. That’s why I’m putting aside my pride and would like to ask Doctor Fang to represent Doctor Pavilion in the competition..."

Seeing Fang Bai frown slightly, she quickly added, "As long as Doctor Fang agrees, we will make sure the compensation satisfies you..."

She said this and gave Lin Ruoxue a meaningful glance.

Lin Ruoxue stepped forward, placed a check on the table in front of Fang Bai, and then said with a smile, "Ruhua has been quite excited recently as she seems to have had some new insights in her cultivation. She’s eager to have a discussion with Doctor Fang... Whenever you’re free, Doctor Fang, please do come and visit our home."

After hearing Lin Ruoxue’s words, Fang Bai couldn’t help but smile wryly, knowing that she was playing the emotional card by mentioning Dongfang Ruhua at this moment, hoping to prevent him from refusing Wen Yu’s request.

Glancing casually at the check on the table, Fang Bai felt a surge of emotion.

To hire him, Wen Yu had actually offered an entire billion—a truly generous gesture! This also led him to speculate on how much it would benefit Doctor Pavilion to win first place in the medical skills exchange at the World Traditional Chinese Medicine Conference.
