Chapter 672 - Media Scrum! (1/2)
Chapter 672 Media Scrum!
On the next day, the Huaxia media had also received the news.
In fact, the Internet was already ablaze, and various media outlets in Huaxia had also knew what happened. Before they officially received broadcast information transmitted by the medical conference, each major media outlet had already took a few screenshots that would shock the entire world from footage of the live streamed event online and began writing special reports.
Currently, the western countries’ admiration of Chinese Medicine, along with all sorts of heated discussion about Fang Qiu came in unison with news of the medical conference.
On this day, Chinese Medicine had become a very popular topic!
Fang Qiu had started a second wave of interest in Chinese Medicine, after the Young Chinese Medicine Doctor.
Momentarily, many media outlets began to interview famous Chinese Medicine physicians. Some media companies directly went to hunt for sources in traditional Chinese Medical schools and even dragged elderly physicians living among common folk to interview, after they were unable to find any renowned ones, to listen to the seniors talk about stories of their practice and meridians, before compiling their findings into reports and publishing them.
This was because topics related to traditional Chinese medicine and meridians were exactly what everyone was interested in.
There were even some media outlets that took an alternative approach and found some Qigong masters to inquire about how to practice Qigong and the way to achieve Insight. In the end, they really did manage to discover a few methods.
Without a doubt, this was something that all the readers were most interested in.
On the other side of things, just as Chinese Medicine had stirred up another wave of interest in Huaxia, and as the study of meridians in traditional medicine had created a huge commotion in the entire medical world, Fang Qiu, who was situated at Switzerland currently, had just woke up after a night’s rest.
“The medical conference is done, I guess. I should head to Norway next.”
A thought came to Fang Qiu’s mind and he immediately fished out the sheepskin scroll he obtained at the Chic Cloud Pavilion in exchange for a sixth-class sword.
Fang Qiu peeled the scroll open and looked carefully at it.
He realized that the sheepskin scroll was indeed a treasure map. However, it looked a little old, as if it was had come from many years ago.
A large patch of water and patches of land were shown on the old treasure map.
Also, the spot marked with a red dot was Norway!
“Indeed, that’s Norway,” Fang Qiu remarked with a grin.
Just as he was about to roll the treasure map back up, his hands suddenly stopped moving.
“Hum?”
Unexpectedly, Fang Qiu seemed to have touched something just now; it was a spot that was obviously on a different level with the others.
“The Absolute Touch!”
Fang Qiu’s eyes lit up and he immediately used the Absolute Touch to search the map.
Eventually, just as he expected, Fang Qiu discovered that there was an interval hidden in between the sheepskin scroll.
“Could the treasure map on the surface of this treasure map actually be fake?”
Fang Qiu brought his hands together and directly rubbed the hidden section of the sheepskin scroll with his palms. Upon close inspection, he saw that a map was also drawn on it, but it was much clearer than that shown on the outer surface. It was also marked at the same spot as the map on the exterior—it was also referring to Norway as well!
“No wonder that guy was so sure that the Heaven Treasure is situated in Norway.”
Fang Qiu looked carefully at the diagram shown on the hidden section of the map.
He realized that it actually depicted the approximate time.
Upon calculation, the Heaven Treasure described in this treasure map was about to come of age soon.
Just at this very moment…
“Thud… Thud… Thud…”
The sound of someone knocking on Fang Qiu’s door could be heard.
“Who’s that?” Fang Qiu asked as he immediately kept the sheepskin scroll up.
“Hello, Mr. Fang Qiu. We are from the executive committee of the World Health Organization and World Medical Exchange Conference,” came the reply from the other side of his door.
Fang Qiu frowned slightly.
He got up to open the door only after keeping the sheepskin scroll.
Indeed, the people who were outside his room were from the 32 representatives. Fang Qiu casually glanced across them and realized that there were about 18 of them— more than half of the committee.
“Do you have something for me, representatives?” Fang Qiu asked suspiciously.
“It’s like this,” the representative leading the group got up and said, giving Fang Qiu a friendly smile. “We have come to a decision after holding a meeting at the behest of everyone else, and would like to invite you to continue giving your lectures to us. All of us are very curious about Chinese Medicine, and have also realized the captivating aspect of it. Thus, we hope that you will be kind enough to teach us, Mr. Fang Qiu.”
“That’s right, it’s a rare occasion for you to come over here to Switzerland, Mr. Fang Qiu. You can’t just leave like this… We don’t even know when you will return! Please give us a few more lectures before you leave.”
One after another, the representatives made their requests.
Fang Qiu could not help himself from laughing bitterly after hearing the group.
Originally, he had wanted to hurry over to Norway after breakfast, to check out how the Heaven Treasure was growing. He did not expect that the committee members would come finding for him before he had even packed up.
