Chapter 406: Chapter 406: The Third Round of Medical Skills Exchange

Wang Miaomiao’s cultivation level was far under Nangong Ming’s, but the cultivation technique she was currently circulating was created by Fang Bai, the former Invincible War Emperor. It was filled with an aura of unrivaled dominance and an authoritative might that said "only I reign supreme." Despite being weaker, she managed to negate the invisible pressure imposed upon her by Nangong Ming.

"Could the cultivation technique this woman is practicing be of Heaven Rank?"

Nangong Ming’s pupils suddenly constricted as he was inwardly shocked.

Nangong Ming was an Earth Level Martial Artist, cultivating an Earth Rank Technique. In his view, unless Wang Miaomiao cultivated a technique of a higher rank than his own, she wouldn’t be able to withstand the mental pressure he was applying with her current realm and strength.

But Heaven Rank Techniques among the Hidden Sects were of the highest level, treasures that the major Sects and clans jealously guarded. How could Wang Miaomiao, a martial artist from the Secular Ancient Martial World, possess such a covetable high-rank technique?

Could it be that she encountered some fortuitous opportunity in the secular world?

Thinking this, Nangong Ming’s heart began to race; his slightly closed eyes suddenly flew open, and he stared at Wang Miaomiao unblinkingly, filled with greed and heat.

If Wang Miaomiao had indeed found the legacy of a Heaven Rank Martial Artist, then she must possess more than just a Heaven Rank Technique; there were likely other cultivation resources left by a Heaven Rank Martial Artist on her.

Compared to the martial artists of the Secular Ancient Martial World, Nangong Ming was a formidable being, but in the Hidden Sects, he was no expert. He was confident that with his talent and aptitude, if he could obtain the legacy of a Heaven Rank Martial Artist, his power would surge dramatically in a short span of time.

In "Ghost Doctor Valley," there were many Martial Arts Techniques passed down, but only one was said to be of Heaven Rank and only accessible for cultivation and study by successive Valley Masters.

As a core disciple like Nangong Ming, whose status was even below the Elders of Ghost Doctor Valley, he had no chance to even glimpse their Heaven Rank Techniques.

And now, there might be a legacy item from a Heaven Rank Martial Artist on Wang Miaomiao, which for Nangong Ming was nothing short of thrilling news. How could he not be extremely excited?

At this moment, Nangong Ming’s interest in competing for the first place in medical skills had vastly diminished. He even thought that if Wang Miaomiao was willing to hand over the Heaven Rank Martial Artist’s legacy, how would it matter if he let her have the first place?

The silent confrontation between Nangong Ming and Wang Miaomiao was known only to them and Fang Bai sitting below the stage. The rest of the guests were oblivious; most of them were still whispering to each other, praising the excellent acupuncture and massage techniques displayed by Nangong Ming and Wang Miaomiao just moments ago.

After resting for half an hour, the five disciples from Ancient Medicine Sect began the third round of their medical competition.

The five patients being treated in the third round were all burn victims who had been admitted to the hospital not long ago. Their burns were predominantly on their palms and arms, with roughly similar areas affected.

The goal set by the ten judges for the five Ancient Medicine Sect disciples was to see who could achieve the best treatment outcome within a day and night, regardless of the treatment methods used.

That meant the five Ancient Medicine Sect disciples were to start treating the patients now, and by this time tomorrow, the results would be checked, and two winners would be selected by the ten judges to enter the finals.

Burns are not like colds or fevers; the treatment is not only troublesome but also time-consuming.

In the hands of an ordinary doctor, even with the best medicine and advanced medical equipment, such a short time of one day and night would hardly show any noticeable treatment results.

However, for disciples of the Ancient Medicine Sect, treating burns still involves some special medicines and methods.

For example, some Ancient Medicine Sect disciples might first use acupuncture and their own True Yuan to stimulate and repair the damaged nerves and blood vessels at the injury site, then apply a specially prepared medicinal powder or ointment to the affected area...

The medical sects to which Ancient Medicine Sect disciples belong generally cultivate spiritual medicine, and the medicinal powders or ointments made from these spiritual medicines often have miraculous healing effects. It’s possible that within a day and a night, there could be significant improvement in the burns of the injured.

Especially in the Hidden Sect where Nangong Ming belonged, there are rare spiritual medicines that are hundreds of years old. The medicinal powders and ointments they produce have even better therapeutic effects.

To prevent the five competing Ancient Medicine Sect disciples from cheating, and adhering to the principles of fairness and transparency, the judges only allowed the five disciples to prepare the medicinal powders and ointments on the stage. The herbs needed could be sent to the stage by their respective medical sects.

To talk of fairness, it was still not fair.

The various Ancient Medicine Sects have different foundations. Taking the medicinal herbs for preparing powders and ointments for example, some sects provided herbs that were relatively older in drug age and naturally had better healing effects. This meant that the competing disciple from such a sect was more likely to win.

In response to this, the various Ancient Medicine Sects had no objections. If they lost, there would be no complaints. After all, who could blame others for having a deeper foundation than theirs?

Seeing that the disciples from other Ancient Medicine Sects had started sending up their medicinal herbs, Fang Bai’s lips moved slightly as he communicated with Wen Yu in "Thread Condensation Sound Transmission," listing over a dozen herbs for her to have delivered to Wang Miaomiao on the stage.

"Thread Condensation Sound Transmission" is an extremely profound martial arts technique. Although Wen Yu was a Profound Level Martial Artist, she was not capable of it. Seeing Fang Bai perform it with ease, she couldn’t help but be secretly astonished, and her understanding of Fang Bai’s strength reached a whole new level.

At the same time, Wen Yu also hesitated whether to follow Fang Bai’s instructions and send those more than a dozen herbs to Wang Miaomiao on the stage.

The herbs that Fang Bai mentioned, the Doctor Pavilion could procure, but the properties of these dozen herbs varied greatly. When combined, they might lead to severe conflicts and were not suitable for the preparation of medicinal powders or ointments at all.

If Fang Bai asked Wang Miaomiao to apply the medicinal powder and ointment made from these herbs to burn patients, it could very likely result in making the injury even worse!

However, Wang Miaomiao’s amazing performances in the previous two rounds were proof enough of Fang Bai’s profound medical skills. As the saying goes, "Extraordinary people do extraordinary things." Perhaps Fang Bai’s methods could indeed yield unexpected results?

I’ll take the risk!

After hesitating for a moment, Wen Yu finally decided. She instructed an elder beside her to gather the more than a dozen herbs mentioned by Fang Bai and then had them sent to Wang Miaomiao on the stage.

While Wen Yu was uncertain, Fang Bai had already conveyed the method of preparing the burn treatment ointment to Wang Miaomiao using "Thread Condensation Sound Transmission."

Wang Miaomiao now blindly and unconditionally trusted Fang Bai, treating his words as golden and indisputable truth, with no objections whatsoever.

After Fang Bai finished the sound transmission, Wang Miaomiao firmly remembered the method of preparing the burn ointment. She then began to utilize the dozen or so herbs and various utensils provided by the staff to prepare the ointment in front of thousands of guests.
