Chapter 149 - 149: 149: Registration
Merely stretching out a hand and the child’s illness was cured? How incredible must his medical skills be?
Ethan Smith stood with his hands behind his back, calm and composed.
This was the power of someone at the Foundation Establishment Stage; ordinary illnesses could be healed with just the use of qi.
Dean Dr.Cobbett walked quickly towards Ethan Smith, cupped his hands and said, “Thank you, Mr. Smith, for your righteous help.”
Leaving these words behind, Dr.Cobbett turned to Dorian Dawson and said,
“Doctor Dawson, I saw your actions very clearly on the security monitor.” “I gave you money to offer free consultations, but unfortunately, you took
protits privately. I’m sorry.” Dr.Cobbett said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
Ethan Smith quite appreciated Dr.Cobbett’s actions and couldn’t help but nod slightly in approval.
However, Dorian Dawson’s face turned cold. He looked at Dr.Cobbett and said, “Dr.Cobbett, I hope you don’t regret it.”
“I naturally won’t regret it.” Dr.Cobbett said indifferently.
“Dorian Dawson, you can get lost now.” Ethan Smith scolded coldly.
Dorian Dawson’s expression was extremely unpleasant, and he subconsciously looked at the two people beside him.
Understanding the cue, the two men exchanged glances and suddenly threw a punch at Ethan Smith!
Ethan Smith had already seen that these two were Inner Strength Experts, so he had been on guard.
With no haste or panic, Ethan Smith raised both his hands and directly confronted them head-on.
With a crisp “clang” sound, the two men were sent flying! Their hand bones were all broken, and they were in unbearable pain!
“You dare to challenge me with this rubbish?” Ethan Smith said coldly.
The two men climbed up from the ground, stood beside Dorian Dawson, and dared not say more.
“Ethan Smith, you’ll pay for your actions. Don’t underestimate the influence of a famous doctor.” Dorian Dawson said coldly.
Ethan Smith sneered, “Even if your medical skills are high, they’re not worth mentioning without medical ethics.”
“Hahaha!” Dorian Dawson couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
“My medical skills are merely a means for me to associate with high-ranking officials. But you, I’d like to see how far your kindness can take you!” Dorian Dawson said maliciously.
After leaving those words, Dorian Dawson turned and walked away.
Thunderous applause erupted from the surroundings, with countless people praising Ethan Smith.
Sticking to the agreement, Ethan Smith immediately sat in Dorian Dawson’s seat and began to consult the patients.
It wasn’t until nine in the evening that the hospital began to quiet down.
Ethan Smith stretched his body and felt utterly exhausted.
Such a massive consumption of qi was becoming difficult for even Ethan Smith to endure.
“Mr. Smith, I’m really sorry for the trouble.” Dr.Cobbett handed Ethan Smith a glass of water and said politely.
Ethan Smith smiled, “Dr.Cobbett, you don’t have to be polite. I’m not doing this for you. ”
Although he said that, Ethan Smith’s actions had brought great benefits to the Traditional Medicine Hospital.
“Mr. Smith, if you’re willing, I’d like to hire you as a special consulting physician. What do you think of that?” Dr.Cobbett suddenly said.
Ethan Smith’s eyebrows furrowed, and he said with some confusion, “Special consulting physician? What does that mean?”
“That means a guest physician. I will give you a salary every month, and your position will be second only to mine! You only need to visit occasionally.” Dr.Cobbett hastily explained.
Ethan Smith thought for a moment, finding it to be a good choice.
After pondering for a while, Ethan Smith said, “You don’t have to worry about the salary. Instead, you just need to provide me with a batch of herbs every month. Can you do that?”
Overjoyed, Dr.Cobbett quickly nodded, “Absolutely no problem! Our Traditional
Medicine Hospital may be lacking in many things, but we never lack herbs!” “Alright, then it’s settled. Thank you.” Ethan Smith nodded and then turned to leave.
By the time he returned home, it was already past ten at night.
Ethan Smith looked around the house but could not find any trace of Edward Green.
“Strange, where could that smelly kid be?” Ethan Smith muttered to himself.
Edward Green hadn’t come home for two whole days and couldn’t be reached on the phone, which made Ethan Smith worry a little.
But Edward Green was also an Inner Strength Expert, so Ethan Smith figured he wouldn’t encounter any big trouble and didn’t think too much about it.
He slept until the next day.
The next morning, Dr.Cobbett had someone deliver a batch of herbs to Ethan Smith.
Over the next few days, Ethan Smith spent almost all of his time refining herbs.
“Damn it, fully mastering the spiritual fire isn’t an easy task.” Ethan Smith looked at the burnt ashes of herbs in front of him and couldn’t help but feel annoyed.
In the past few days, Ethan Smith had tried countless times, but his control of the fire was always off. A slight accident would cause the herbs to burn to ashes.
There was no shortcut for this, only time could improve his experience.
In the blink of an eye, five days passed.
There were only two days left before the Traditional Medicine Conference.
On this day’s morning, Elder Hansen came to Ethan Smith’s door early.
Standing in front of Ethan Smith, he said politely, “Mr. Smith, I have arranged everything for the factory. Shouldn’t we set off?”
Ethan Smith said in surprise, “So early?”
Elder Hansen smiled bitterly, “We need to register in advance and go through the relevant procedures.”
Ethan Smith thought for a moment and said, “Alright, wait a moment while I pack up. ”
After about half an hour, Ethan Smith brought along a few personal belongings and set off for Shiglance City with Elder Hansen.
In recent years, traditional medicine had fallen into disrepute and could no longer compare with modern medicine in terms of influence.
Of course, no one else could be blamed for this; mainly, too many scammers were using the name of traditional medicine to swindle people, resulting in no one willing to trust traditional medicine.
After driving for a long time, they finally arrived in Shiglance City.
This was Ethan Smith’s second time in Shiglance City, so he didn’t feel like a stranger.
Elder Hansen led Ethan Smith to the venue of the Traditional Medicine Conference.
“This is where the Traditional Medicine Conference is held.” Elder Hansen pointed to the huge stadium in front of him and said.
Ethan Smith nodded and said, “It doesn’t seem to be too crowded.”
Elder Hansen bitter smiled, “In an ordinary city, at most, two or three people participate in the competition. In our River City, only I have been participating for so many years.”
Ethan Smith couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. It wasn’t easy for Elder Hansen to hold on to his beliefs for so many years.
“Let’s go, we’ll go in and register. I’ve already submitted the related materials.” Elder Hansen said.
Ethan Smith nodded, and then followed Elder Hansen into the venue.
The registration site was a huge office with luxurious decorations, and the audit team consisted of the Shiglance City Traditional Chinese Medicine Association.
Ethan Smith followed Elder Hansen into the office.
In the office, four or five old men were registering.
Seeing Elder Hansen, they jokingly said, “Old Hansen, you’re back to register.”
“This must be your thirteenth time participating, right? Try harder this time and don’t end up last.”
“That’s right, you keep running every year and never give up. I truly admire your persistent fighting spirit..”
