Chapter 332: Perfect-Grade Prescription
Library of Heaven's Path · 第332章 完美级药方
"Doesn't know medicine?" President Mu Hong swayed.
Daring to challenge without knowing medicine... since when was this president so cheap?
"What exactly is going on? Explain clearly!"
His face was ashen, and he waved his hand.
"It's... it's like this!"
The guard captain and Ya Rou detailed how they had just seen Zhang Xuan and how he had requested to take the physician exam.
After hearing their account, not only Mu Hong, but even physicians like Du Rao and Cheng Feng were dumbfounded, staring at each other with wide eyes.
Oddballs appear every day, but today there were especially many...
Not even knowing where to take the physician exam or how it worked, he dared to challenge the Wall of Difficult Ailments—your guts are too bold!
"President, he has already activated the Wall of Difficult Ailments. It's probably communicating with headquarters now. What should we do?"
Physician Cheng Feng stepped forward.
Once the bell rang and the Wall of Difficult Ailments opened, it would immediately contact headquarters. There might already be four-star or even five-star physicians on the other side ready to examine. If they rushed over to interrupt, they might anger the main association.
"What else can we do? We'll wait here. Since he doesn't even know how the physician exam works, he certainly can't answer. We'll just wait for him to fail and be thrown out. We must teach him a good lesson!"
Mu Hong's face was livid.
Challenging the Wall of Difficult Ailments wasn't just a challenge to his authority; more importantly, activating it meant disturbing the main association.
Having disturbed the main association, if it turned out that someone who knew nothing had done so, and they learned the truth, they would probably want to kill him...
For the Physician Guild of a first-rate kingdom to have such a blunder—could things get any more screwed up?
"Yes!"
Hearing the president's words and knowing he was truly angry, everyone dared not breathe loudly.
"If he answers the questions on the Wall of Difficult Ailments, can we see it from here?"
While the atmosphere was tense, many patients and apprentices in the hall had figured out what was happening. They stopped what they were doing and looked over in unison.
"Yes," a knowledgeable person in the crowd nodded. "The walls of the Physician Hall, like those of the Master Teacher Hall, are built with special materials. Errors produce red light. Once correct, orange light appears! And... correctness is also graded!"
"Graded?"
"Right. For the same illness, different herbs and treatment methods yield different effects. Based on the effect, it can be divided into barely passable, passable, good, and best! Barely passable produces one orange light, passable two, and so on; best produces four! Back then, President Mu Hong solved four difficult ailments in a row, and every prescription he wrote produced three orange lights, illuminating the hall—unforgettable..."
Recalling the grand scene, the knowledgeable person's face flushed with excitement.
These difficult ailments had accumulated over the years. They might be easy for those four-star or five-star physicians at the main association, but for Tianwu Kingdom, they were definitely a daunting task!
President Mu Hong challenged and completed four, each with three orange lights, shattering everyone's expectations.
"President Mu Hong is amazing!"
"Indeed!"
"That guy who barged in knows nothing. He'll probably show red light soon..."
Murmurs arose.
Buzz!
Before the words faded, the wall of the Physician Hall suddenly shook, and a majestic aura surged out.
"Looks like this guy has finished answering the difficult ailments, and the physicians on the other side have finished examining. He's probably in for trouble..."
Just as he was about to continue, the knowledgeable person's eyes suddenly went wide, his mind buzzing, and he stood frozen.
The wall in front of him suddenly shot out light—but it wasn't red; it was orange!
"Why orange? Did he answer correctly? How... is that possible? These problems have been around for years, and many three-star physicians can't solve them. How could he succeed? Didn't they say he knows nothing..."
The knowledgeable person rubbed his eyes vigorously, unable to believe what he saw.
"It seems he not only answered correctly but... it's not just barely passable..." someone in the crowd shouted.
As his words fell, before the first orange light from the crystal ball had faded, a second one shot out!
Two orange lights shone in harmony, illuminating the surroundings.
Buzz!
Just as everyone was incredulous, the wall shook again, and light burst forth, as if countless dazzling stars had appeared in the hall.
Three!
Four!
Five!
Five orange lights, stars shining in all directions!
"This is... perfect, a perfect-grade answer..."
The knowledgeable person's mouth could no longer close; he trembled, unable to speak.
Ordinary prescriptions only had four levels: barely passable, passable, good, and best! But there was another, existing only in legend—a prescription that could cure the illness in the shortest time with the cheapest herbs!
That is the legendary perfect prescription, matching the illness to the utmost, making all others pale in comparison.
Such a prescription existed only in legend. In the thousands of years since Tianwu Kingdom was founded, it had never been heard of!
A guy who knows nothing not only solved the problem but produced such a prescription... Are my eyes deceiving me?
"Five orange lights?"
"What happened?"
"Perfect-grade prescription?"
The rest of the hall also erupted.
Seeing this, President Mu Hong felt dizzy and turned to look at Ya Rou and the guard captain.
Damn it!
Didn't you say that guy who barged in knew nothing?
Explain this to me...
"I..."
The guard captain's tears flowed again.
Brother, didn't you say you knew nothing, understood nothing?
How did you directly solve a difficult ailment that even the president couldn't solve, and with five orange lights—perfect grade?
"He... he probably got lucky. Maybe he won't be able to answer the next one..."
Biting his tongue, the guard captain could only say.
But before he finished, the wall shook again.
Buzz buzz buzz buzz!
Light radiated, and again five beams shone forth.
"Another perfect?"
"Holy crap!"
...
Seeing the second set of five orange lights, everyone erupted again. The guard captain felt his face flush red and nearly vomited blood.
He had just said the guy was lucky, and then he did it again—could the slap in the face come any faster?
Buzz buzz buzz buzz!
But it wasn't over. The light grew stronger and brighter, and soon it was as if everyone had fallen into a fireworks factory, with orange lights flickering one after another.
"Three times!"
"Four times!"
"Five times..."
"Eighteen times..."
...
From the first appearance of five orange lights, in less than half an hour, a full eighteen times had occurred!
Everyone had gone from shock to numbness.
President Mu Hong's lips trembled; he was about to cry.
He had thought producing four three-orange-light solutions was impressive and genius, but seeing this, he realized he was nothing.
Was he really someone who didn't know medicine?
What a joke—if he didn't know, what was he?
Even less than 'doesn't know'?
"President..."
Seeing him like this, the guard captain couldn't help speaking.
"President my ass! I'm no longer president; the one inside is!" Mu Hong waved his hand dismissively.
Challenging the Wall of Difficult Ailments—if one surpassed the current president's record, they would directly become the next president. He had only completed four with three orange lights, while the other had already produced eighteen perfect-grade solutions. How could he compare?
In other words, the presidency had already fallen into the other's hands. President? President my foot!
"Yes..."
The guard captain's mouth twitched, and he dared not speak again.
He was afraid that if he said too much, the enraged Physician Mu Hong would beat him to death on the spot.
"He... he..."
Ya Rou on the side trembled, her regret deep as the ocean.
If she had known he had such medical skill, and would even succeed in challenging the Wall of Difficult Ailments and become president, she would never have dared to slight him!
Now, having shown contempt earlier, she probably wouldn't need to come to work anymore; she could just turn around and go home.
Unlike the president and his group, the hall was in an uproar.
"Five orange lights—a perfect-grade prescription!"
"To witness such a powerful physician challenge the Wall of Difficult Ailments—I haven't lived in vain..."
"Quick, inform the master! His illness was listed on the Wall of Difficult Ailments as unsolvable. Finally, it can be treated!"
...
Murmurs continued, everyone's eyes burning with excitement.
Even if they didn't fully understand, with the apprentices and knowledgeable people explaining, they had a general idea.
Solving eighteen problems on the Wall of Difficult Ailments in a row, each perfectly, showed a level of medical knowledge far beyond three-star!
Having such a super physician in Tianwu Royal City was greatly beneficial to them.
After all, no matter how much money you had, if you couldn't be cured, there was no way.
...
"Over the years, the Wall of Difficult Ailments has only had twenty difficult ailments. Could it be... he intends to solve them all?"
Pushing aside his frustration, Physician Mu Hong stared intently at the wall ahead.
Others didn't know how many problems were on the Wall of Difficult Ailments, but as a president who had once challenged it, he knew very well.
Over the years, each president solved a few. Accumulated over centuries, it sounded like many, but there were actually only about twenty.
Now eighteen had been completed, all perfect. Was this guy going to solve all twenty in one go?
"Impossible... The last one is an illness that no one has been able to solve for centuries. He can't succeed..."
Thinking of the last problem, he paused and couldn't help gritting his teeth.
Other ailments were difficult in Tianwu Kingdom, but in Xuan Yuan Enfeoffed Kingdom or other higher-level places, they were nothing.
But... the last one, even if thrown into an Enfeoffed Kingdom, would probably be unsolvable!
It was an extremely rare illness. Legend had it that even a five-star physician had failed to find the root cause and had no way to proceed.
Buzz!
As he was lost in thought, orange light flickered again—the nineteenth problem was perfectly solved.
"Just the last one left..."
Physician Mu Hong's breathing immediately became rapid.
