Urban Genius Divine Doctor

Chapter 153: Chapter 153: The Fox Finally Shows Its Tail

Having made up her mind, Yang Xiaofei immediately began to wonder what her plans for the evening should be.

She had no experience with romance, and before meeting Wang Chenning, she hadn’t spent much time around men.

Her interactions were purely professional, with almost no personal connections.

After racking her brain and coming up with nothing, she finally pulled out her phone and searched for answers online.

"How can a woman get her dream guy to make a move on her, without making him think she’s too forward, so that he won’t look down on her after they sleep together!"

She quickly found one such post and began to read it intently.

The buzz in the conference hall continued.

Having received such a promise from Wang Chenning, Chang Qingfeng was stunned but also overjoyed.

’Wang Chenning hadn’t agreed to take anyone else on. If I become his disciple now, wouldn’t that make me his head disciple?’

’All the disciples Wang Chenning accepts in the future will be my juniors?’

’And among those juniors would be quite a few industry leaders from my own grandfather’s generation.’

The thought alone thrilled him!

"Master, please accept this disciple’s bow!" He immediately tried to kneel before Wang Chenning to perform the formal pledge of discipleship.

But he only made it halfway down before Wang Chenning caught his arms, stopping him.

"Shouldn’t we pick an auspicious date for something like this?" Wang Chenning said with a chuckle. "No rush, no rush. Everyone is watching! If you do this now, I’m afraid people might come over and try to beat me up!"

Chang Qingfeng tried to kneel again, but he simply couldn’t.

He could only feel an incredible strength in the arms holding him up. Even using all his might, he couldn’t move Wang Chenning in the slightest. Stunned, he had no choice but to obediently stand back up.

Chang Qingfeng decided that after the conference, he would visit Wang Chenning with his grandfather to finalize the discipleship and secure his position as the head disciple.

=====

The official conference began in the afternoon. Due to Wang Chenning’s unexpected appearance, the organizing committee made a last-minute change to the schedule, inviting him to give a speech first.

Wang Chenning didn’t refuse, accepting readily.

He hadn’t prepared a script, nor did he have a PowerPoint presentation. It was an impromptu speech.

He dropped a bombshell on the audience the moment he began to speak. "What I have to say today isn’t a lovely song of praise. It’s something that will offend a lot of people."

The hall fell silent in an instant.

Wang Chenning paused for a moment before continuing. "As you all know, our country’s overall scientific and technological level has developed very rapidly in recent years. This is especially true for modern medicine, where countless high-tech innovations have been converted into products for diagnosis and treatment, further promoting its development. And what of our traditional medicine? It hasn’t seen much innovation. It hasn’t leveraged the development of Science to advance, and it’s even starting to feel like it’s heading down a dead end."

Wang Chenning’s words were like a bomb dropped on still water, immediately setting off a huge uproar.

Someone immediately stood up to object. "Teacher Wang, we acknowledge your medical skill, but we do not acknowledge your point of view."

"Your earlier pronouncement has broken the hearts of countless practitioners of traditional medicine! You must apologize for it!"

Wang Chenning waved his hand, gesturing for everyone to calm down and wait for him to finish what he had to say before they began their discussion.

The hall quickly fell silent again. Wang Chenning continued, "The reason I say this is because there are far, far too many people who have grown complacent.

I want to ask all of you: how many people here are truly dedicating their energy to research, and how many are just using the findings of our predecessors as if they were gospel?

So many diagnoses and research papers today still cite content from texts written by the ancients hundreds or thousands of years ago, like the *Inner Canon of the Yellow Emperor*, the *Treatise on Cold Pathogenic and Warm Pathogenic Diseases*, and the *Thousand Gold Formula*. I imagine many in our field have had the same question we have: are the things our ancestors wrote hundreds or thousands of years ago truly free of error?

Back then, technology was so primitive. Diagnosing illnesses and saving lives depended entirely on experience. Moreover, communication within the field was rare. If one person’s experience was flawed, there was no way to correct it through verification and exchange with others. What theory can possibly remain relevant for hundreds, even thousands, of years without becoming obsolete?

"Modern medicine is advancing so rapidly, constantly correcting its mistakes and using high technology to raise its overall standards. Yet our traditional medicine remains stagnant, resting on its laurels. How can it ever develop, improve, or progress that way?"

The hall erupted in an uproar once more.

Wang Chenning’s words struck a chord with many in the audience.

Indeed, many of them had harbored the same doubts as Wang Chenning, but their questions had always been drowned out by the field’s incessant glorification of the past masters.

People who dared to voice such doubts in public, as Wang Chenning had, were few and far between.

Wang Chenning motioned with his hands, indicating that they should hold their discussions and continue listening.

Once the entire hall fell silent again, Wang Chenning continued:

"With the development of technology, modern diagnostic instruments are constantly being integrated into clinical practice. Anatomy and physiology are advancing by the day, increasing our understanding of human pathophysiology. Many things once believed to be correct have ultimately been proven to be fallacies. This is an unavoidable part of development in any field. The outdated, the obsolete, and the erroneous will surely be cast aside by the times. Only by abandoning these things can a field develop for the better.

Our traditional medicine must do the same. We cannot clutch the works of our predecessors like a holy scripture; we cannot treat their findings as gospel. We must have the courage to question, the courage to discover errors and reflect on them. We must invest more manpower and resources to build upon the foundations of our predecessors, constantly summarizing new and more scientific theories and viewpoints. Only then can traditional medicine develop better and faster. Only then can it achieve a true revival!"

At this, Wang Chenning paused again, then declared loudly, "I may be unworthy, but I am willing to take the lead and work together with all of you here to devote my own efforts toward the better development of traditional medicine!"

Hearing Wang Chenning finish, Yang Xiaofei couldn’t help but snort from her seat in the audience. "He’s finally showing his true colors!"

’This guy... he’s so ambitious. He really wants to rule the entire field.’

’She had no idea how the bigwigs of the traditional medicine world in attendance would react...’
