Chapter 255 I have some knowledge of medicine
"Chang You comes from the Chang family, a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners. One of his ancestors was a top-notch physician who was revered as the number one doctor in the world at that time. He left behind a medical book called 'Medical Canon'."
Inside the villa, Xiao Chen listened to his subordinates' report.
He ordered his men to investigate Chang You's background, preparing to take action.
Although Chang You's actions were beneath him, he had no interest in playing mind games with such a character and wanted to simply deal with the matter casually.
"The world's greatest physician, the Medical Canon?" Xiao Chen raised an eyebrow.
He had heard of that medical canon.
Xiao Chen and his teacher both came from the lineage of divine physicians, forming their own school. However, there are many excellent medical schools in the world, and they are not the only ones that stand out.
The teacher mentioned the author of the Medical Canon with some regret.
Those were people from over two hundred years ago; communication was not possible.
"Later, the Chang family suffered misfortune and declined, and the Medical Canon was also lost, becoming several incomplete copies scattered in various places, now in the hands of some people. The Chang family has always wanted to collect the Medical Canon again to restore their family's glory. The master physician Jiang Qingchen had a copy, and Chang You became his apprentice for that incomplete copy." The subordinate continued to speak.
Xiao Chen looked enlightened.
No wonder Chang You hates him so much.
Having painstakingly become Jiang Qingchen's eldest disciple, and on the verge of receiving the inheritance and retrieving the incomplete copy of his ancestral medical classic, he was expelled from the sect the moment Xiao Chen arrived, rendering all his plans and efforts futile...
"In addition, Chang You has an unusual identity; he is the adopted son of the Prince of Pingbei."
Xiao Chen frowned slightly.
The Prince of Pingbei held considerable military power and wielded extraordinary influence.
As the adopted son of a prince, he naturally became noble, which explains why those families were forced to obey him.
"Latest intelligence: Chang You has invited the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley to treat the old man of the Ouyang family, because the Ouyang family possesses a large part of the incomplete copy of the Medical Canon."
"Your Majesty, when shall we make our move?"
Xiao Chen waved his hand.
"I'm also very interested in the Medical Canon..."
……
The Ouyang family's residence is located in an old-fashioned courtyard house in the east of the capital.
When Xiao Chen arrived at the address, he found the area in front of the Ouyang family's gate quite lively.
Many people were announcing their names and entering the Ouyang family home in turn.
"Yao Lie of the Yao family in the Southwest, along with the Medicine King of the Southwest, has come to treat Old Master Ouyang's illness!"
"Zheng Kaiyun from the Zheng family of Dongshan City has brought Dongshan's top doctor to visit!"
"Tao Tong in Jinhai City..."
One by one, a group of young men with distinguished appearances introduced themselves in front of the Ouyang family's gate, each accompanied by a renowned doctor, claiming they were there to treat the Ouyang family patriarch.
Xiao Chen couldn't help but feel puzzled.
"Excuse me, what is the meaning of the Ouyang family's statement?" he asked the onlookers.
"Haven't you heard? The patriarch of the Ouyang family has been bedridden for many years, and despite seeing many famous doctors, they still can't find the cause of his illness. Recently, it seems to have gotten worse..."
The eldest daughter of the Ouyang family sent out invitations everywhere, seeking someone capable of curing Old Master Ouyang, and she even made a promise!
Ouyang Muxue will marry whoever can cure Old Master Ouyang.
As you've seen, these young masters from prominent families have all come here because of his reputation, paying exorbitant prices to hire renowned doctors, all hoping to cure Old Master Ouyang and marry Ouyang Muxue.
Xiao Chen understood after hearing this.
It turns out they all came for the eldest daughter of the Ouyang family.
"Is the eldest daughter of the Ouyang family very beautiful?" he asked again.
"You don't even know that? Ouyang Muxue's beauty is famous throughout the entire capital! Some say she's a fairy descended from heaven..."
Xiao Chen nodded and walked forward.
"Chen Xiao from Nancheng has some medical knowledge and has come here to treat Old Master Ouyang." He said, cupping his hands in greeting.
The name "Xiao Chen" is likely to attract attention in the capital, so he used an alias.
"Chen Xiao?" The person taking notes at the door frowned deeply.
Those who came to sign up were all young masters from prominent families and renowned doctors, all of whom were famous.
But he had never heard of the name Chen Xiao before.
"Where did you learn your teacher? Where do you work? Do you have a distinguished reputation?" the recorder asked in a deep voice.
"If you're just some nobody, get out of here and don't cause trouble, or you'll suffer the consequences!"
Xiao Chen looked displeased.
"Who says only those with a illustrious reputation are considered skilled doctors? Over the years, your Ouyang family has hired numerous renowned doctors, but have they all cured your ailments?"
"Kid, you want a beating, don't you?" the recorder roared.
"Where did this wild brat come from? How dare you talk so arrogantly! This is not a place for you to run wild. Get out of here!" The renowned doctors nearby, feeling mocked, also reprimanded him with dark faces.
Xiao Chen's expression darkened further, and he was about to lash out slightly.
"Let him in."
Suddenly, an extremely pleasant voice entered my ears.
Then a beautiful young woman came gracefully, her white silk dress flowing like a fairy, and with her stunningly beautiful face, she looked like a fairy descending to earth.
She seemed out of place in the world, possessing an extraordinary and refined air.
Xiao Chen immediately realized that this must be the beautiful young lady of the Ouyang family.
“Miss, this kid has no reputation whatsoever and is so young. He’s probably here to cause trouble!” the recorder said indignantly.
"Sir, I apologize for not managing your servants properly. May I ask how skilled you are in medicine?" Ouyang Muxue bowed gracefully to Xiao Chen and asked.
"My medical skills aren't great, but they're slightly better than everyone else here," Xiao Chen said calmly.
The renowned doctors present frowned deeply and looked angry.
The first sentence was somewhat agreeable, but the second sentence was incredibly arrogant.
Where did this nobody get the courage to say such a thing?
"Kid, you're really bragging. You look worse than an intern! How dare you talk so arrogantly!" someone criticized.
Xiao Chen ignored him completely.
Ouyang Muxue also showed a hint of surprise.
"Please come into the mansion, sir." To everyone's surprise, she politely invited Xiao Chen inside.
When Xiao Chen entered the Ouyang family hall, many people were already seated inside.
Those present were all young masters from prominent families and renowned doctors from the Xia Kingdom.
Xiao Chen had nowhere to sit.
He saw that there was an empty seat at the very front, near the head of the table, so he went straight up and sat down.
To everyone's surprise, the entire hall fell silent instantly.
Everyone was staring intently at Xiao Chen.
But Xiao Chen remained calm and unperturbed, completely unconcerned by those murderous glares.
"Where did this brat come from? Who gave you the right to sit in that spot?" someone finally couldn't help but shout.
"Why can't I sit?" Xiao Chen retorted.
"Only the adopted son of the Prince of Pingxi and the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley are qualified to sit in that position. Who do you think you are? How dare you sit there!" The man shouted even louder.
Xiao Chen's gaze turned cold and sharp.
He could tell that the old man was also a martial artist, with a cultivation level close to the King level, making him a strong figure in the mortal world.
"Get down here!"
The old man let out a loud shout, and the teacup in his hand shook violently, flying towards Xiao Chen.
The teacup spun rapidly, small yet containing a powerful force.
If an ordinary person were hit by it, they might not be able to get up.
Xiao Chen's face was icy as he watched the teacup fly towards him...
"boom!"
He slammed his palm on the table, his energy surging forth.
The spinning teacup shattered instantly, but the tea inside remained condensed and reflected back.
This scene caused everyone in the hall to show surprise.
In the blink of an eye, the tea splashed onto the old man's shoulder.
"puff……"
As if pierced by a bullet, a hole the size of a finger appeared in his shoulder, and blood gushed out.
"what……"
The old man let out a scream and staggered backward, his face pale with horror.
He stared at Xiao Chen in shock and disbelief.
"You...you're a King-level expert!"
"Whoosh!"
The entire hall erupted in an uproar.
That young man was so young, barely in his early twenties...
He actually reached the King level!
"Who exactly are you?" the old man asked in surprise.
"I'm just a greenhorn with a little medical knowledge."
