Chapter: 5342

People who could afford to buy an Audi wouldn't feel that the Audi is out of reach even if they didn't have one.

So he asked Shi Tianzi, "Shi God Doctor, what did you compare with him about?"

Shi Tianzi sighed and said, "He wants me to compare pulse with him, choosing a woman who has given birth three times to compete against. We will compare three points: first, the actual age of the person; second, the date of their menstrual cycle; third, the number of pregnancies... we will have a total of three rounds, and whoever wins two or more rounds will be declared the winner."

Ye Chen couldn't help but say with embarrassment, "Shi God Doctor, I'm saying this as an aside, is it not somewhat improper for two doctors to compete in guessing a woman's menstrual cycle and pregnancy number?"

Shi Tianzi hastily explained, "Ye Master, you don't know that these are the contents of ancient palace medicine pulse-reading. Although they may sound unseemly, in reality, since women have many more physiological stages than men, gynecology is best suited to demonstrate a doctor's ability through pulse-reading;"

"Ordinary doctors can read a woman's pulse at the beginning of her pregnancy and predict her delivery date. Higher-level doctors can even use pulse-reading to determine how many times the patient has been pregnant and given birth. It is said that top-notch palace physicians can even use pulse-reading to judge the sex of the fetus, although this kind of person only exists in ancient literature."

"Alright then." Ye Chen sighed and asked him, "Three games, two wins, how many did you lose?"

Shi Tianzi lowered his head, shamefacedly saying, "I lost three games, sir..."

Ye Chen furrowed his brow: "The opponent is just a Daoist, and according to my knowledge, they usually focus on alchemy rather than medicine. Shouldn't he be out of his depth in medical skills? Can you really lose three games to him?"

Shi Tianzi buried his head even lower and opened his mouth to say: "I don't know why this Daoist's medical skills are so exceptional, but I am indeed no match for him..."

Ye Chen asked again: "How did you choose your opponent back then? Is it possible that he pre-arranged a patient beforehand, then challenged me and offered the comparison method, and secretly colluded to win?"

"This... " Shi Tianzi thought for a moment, mumbling to himself: "I have no evidence to prove it, but I don't rule out such a possibility."

As he spoke, Shi Tianzi looked serious again: "But, Master Ye, as a principle of the Daoist tradition is to cultivate one's heart and nurture one's nature. Hong Tian shouldn't be so shameless..."

Ye Chen seemed to have a deep meaning in his smile, saying: "If someone truly cultivates their heart and nurtures their nature, how would they go around making friends with others and taking part in games like this? Just like those monks at the temple or priests at the church - if they spend all day associating with aristocrats and getting stained with worldly concerns, can their inner hearts really be pure?"

Ye Chen said so because, according to Qiu Qi's words, Hong Tian had some connection with his grandmother.

This Hong Tian is naturally the same.

Someone like him, who wants to get close to his grandmother's kind of top-tier aristocrats, is not exaggerating when I say it's as difficult as climbing a mountain.

If he doesn't spend dozens of years carefully cultivating himself, promoting himself, and packaging himself, how could he possibly gain entry into his grandmother's eyes?

This also shows that this person must have a very heavy mercenary heart.

A person with a very heavy mercenary heart would certainly make some small moves when playing games.

Isn't it unusual for him to do so at the time?

At this moment, Chen Xiaozhao suddenly had a profound realization and exclaimed: "Teacher Ye, you're right! I think that person's face is incredibly refined! His words also have a very persuasive tone... When he was speaking in front of those patients, his grandfather was already convinced by him. If he hadn't agreed to it, it would be impossible to get out of the situation! So I think there's still a possibility that he might have pre-arranged some fake patients!"

Shi Tianzi let out a sigh: "Now that we're saying these things, it's already too late... At the time, there were so many patients, and I was defeated by him in front of everyone. My name, Shi Tianzi, as well as the three characters '濟世堂' (Jishitang), have already been destroyed in Jinling. And even if I knew he was cheating, there would be no way to salvage it."

Ye Chen smiled slightly: "Well, maybe not."

After saying this, he thought of something and asked Shi Tianzi: "Right, Shi God Doctor, you said he has an ancestral medicine cauldron... What kind of medicine cauldron is it?" JrNovels.com
