The next day!

There was a new piece of news on the internet but it didn’t attract a lot of attention. However, there were people who were stunned.

“D*mn, Chinese medicine is getting too awesome.”

“Awesome my foot. It’s just capable of stopping pain and you guys think it’s awesome as if it could cure all diseases.”

“Chinese medicine is one of our national treasures. Can you please be more confident?”

“Not confident at all. I’m pessimistic. Look at hospitals now, they don’t even have Chinese medicine. It’s so stupid.”

“I’ve read about this old man before. He’s the director of Shanghai’s First Chinese Medical Academy. His medical skills are amazing.”

“Haha, ^ stop bragging. Chinese medicine is just a scam. You’re lucky if you haven’t died from visiting those Chinese medical clinics at the roadside.”

“I believe in Chinese medicine. Did you guys see the video? Even the so-called specialist group was helpless. The old man just used three needles to stop the pain. Isn’t that crazy?”

The commotion online was extremely brutal. There were a few people who claimed to be Chinese medical professionals. They claimed to be able to cure hundreds of illnesses with just one treatment. However, all it did was tarnish the reputation of Chinese medicine.

Lin Fan was standing at the entrance of Shanghai’s First Chinese Medical Academy. The academic institution had a hundred years of history. It had been through many difficult trials and challenges and it was one of the most reputable universities in the nation. However, it only had one-third of the number of students in other big universities. Furthermore, less than 30% of the students pursued Chinese medicine as a career after graduating. Some of them changed careers while others even switched to western medicine. This had a great impact on Chinese medicine and in another ten years, perhaps there wouldn’t be any more people willing to learn it.

“Teacher…” Zhao Ming Qing had been waiting. He couldn’t sleep the previous day as he had been extremely excited. He wanted to follow his mentor to conduct medical research. It was his dream.

After having a disciple, Lin Fan felt that his life had been a little rushed. He felt extremely pressured to produce a true master by training his disciple.

Lin Fan said, “Are you prepared?”

Zhao Ming Qing nodded. “Teacher, I’ve prepared everything. The research lab has been thoroughly cleaned. I’ve also prepared the necessary medicine. Will we really be able to defeat anorexia?”

Zhao Ming Qing felt that it was a dream and he felt like he was walking on clouds. He was hesitant when his friend visited. He wanted to read ‘Various Types of Typhoid’ wholeheartedly and he felt that he required a lot of time to study it. Therefore, he felt that he wouldn’t have time to do any other things.

As they were walking on the school’s pathway, Lin Fan looked forward. “Hey, Ming Qing, why are there so few females in your school?”

Zhao Ming Qing looked around. “Really? Teacher, I’ve never really noticed. Maybe females don’t like Chinese medicine.”

Lin Fan nodded. He kind of understood why the school had so few students. If the school didn’t even have any girls, why would people be willing to go to school?

The students that passed by were puzzled when they saw Director Zhao walking with a youngster. They wondered who this youngster was. However, they didn’t really care about it. Ever since they had enrolled in this school, they regretted their decision. It was because they were looked down upon by people whenever they introduced themselves as Chinese medicine students.

They had had a dream when they chose to study Chinese medicine. However, they had realized that things were different after enrolling in the university.

In the research lab.

It was Lin Fan’s first time entering a well-equipped facility. Lin Fan gasped when he looked around and saw some of the medicine already prepared at the side counters. He was extremely motivated by what he was looking at.

Zhao Ming Qing was a little emotional too. He wanted to learn about everything like a good student. He took out a notebook and a pen and was prepared for the lesson.

“Teacher, where do we start from?” Zhao Ming Qing asked.
