Chapter 34

(Please add this book to your bookshelf if you haven't already!)

Suddenly, a wave of surprise rippled through the crowd.

How could the same condition and the same prescription produce different results?

With the same prescription and the same effect, Wu Haihua had already won!

What else could be done at this point?

Looking at Du Zhong's confident face, Wu Haihua suddenly felt that it would be very entertaining to mock this annoying face!

"Alright, since you want to compete, I'll let you die with your eyes open!"

Wu Haihua chuckled.

His thoughts were the same as everyone else's; he didn't believe that the same medicine could produce any different results just by passing through Du Zhong's hands!

Moreover, since it was about treating the patient, the medicine had to be decocted and given to the patient immediately.

Wu Haihua, being an old practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine, was already extremely proficient in decocting medicine.

Decocting medicine was like cooking; one had to control the heat and time precisely. How long to boil on high heat, medium heat, and low heat all had strict requirements. Any deviation would inevitably reduce the efficacy of the medicine.

In this aspect, unless Old Qin personally helped Du Zhong, Wu Haihua was absolutely confident.

"Decocting the medicine to compare its efficacy is fine, but Du Zhong doesn't know how to decoct medicine at all!"

Old Qin hesitated and said.

"Anyone but you, he can choose anyone else!"

Wu Haihua immediately said.

"Then let Mu'er do it! Du Zhong?"

Hearing Wu Haihua's request, Old Qin raised an eyebrow and shifted his gaze to Gu Mu'er.

"No problem."

Du Zhong nodded, thinking it was best for Gu Mu'er to handle it.

Although it wouldn't matter who did it, the result would be the same.

"Alright!"

Gu Mu'er nodded and said, "I'll go get the medicine right away!"

Just as Gu Mu'er was about to leave, Wu Haihua spoke up again.

"Getting the medicine is a trivial matter, no need to trouble you!"

Wu Haihua coldly laughed, "Who knows if you would deliberately reduce the quantity for this pretty boy? We can't bring a scale to measure it, can we?"

Stopping Gu Mu'er, Wu Haihua took out his phone and called the hospital pharmacy!

"The doctors in the pharmacy don't know we are competing, so the medicine they provide will be absolutely fair!"

After the call, Wu Haihua smiled happily.

Seeing Wu Haihua's smug look, Gu Mu'er couldn't help but feel angry and coldly snorted, ignoring him.

The small drama ended, and the doctors from the pharmacy arrived with two bags of Chinese medicine and a decoction pot.

Soaking the medicine, lighting the fire, and placing the pot on the stove!

The two bags of medicine were handed to Du Zhong and Wu Haihua. Du Zhong lifted the bag, weighed it, and found the quantity to be just right, not a gram more or less.

Then, the decoction began.

Wu Haihua watched Gu Mu'er busily working, feeling very excited.

Although Gu Mu'er was helping Du Zhong, which annoyed him, it gave him a chance to defeat both Gu Mu'er and Du Zhong at the same time!

Thinking about showing off his impressive skills in front of Gu Mu'er, he felt a surge of excitement.

The process of decocting the medicine was neither too long nor too short.

During this time, the surrounding doctors and nurses were moving back and forth between the hospital building and the garden.

They were torn between their work and the final showdown, wanting to watch the competition but also fearing they would miss treating patients!

During this seemingly long period, Gu Mu'er carefully decocted the Chinese medicine.

Du Zhong stood beside Gu Mu'er, waiting for the medicine to be ready.

On the other side, Wu Haihua occasionally turned his head to glance at Gu Mu'er, then at Du Zhong, his eyes filled with hatred and a sense of satisfaction.

It was as if he was telling Du Zhong, "I hate you, I really hate you, and this hatred will make you lose completely in the final competition!"

Du Zhong and Gu Mu'er ignored Wu Haihua, not even glancing at him!

After a long while, Wu Haihua hurriedly lifted the pot from the fire.

"Done!"

Opening the pot, he poured out a bowl of medicine and then turned to look at Du Zhong and Gu Mu'er.

At this moment, Gu Mu'er also said, "Done!"

As she spoke, she lifted the pot, preparing to pour the medicine!

"Wait!"

Just as Gu Mu'er was about to open the pot, Du Zhong suddenly stopped her.

"What's wrong?"

Gu Mu'er felt a chill, wondering if she had made a mistake, but then remembered that Du Zhong didn't know how to decoct medicine and was puzzled.

"Let me handle it from here!"

Du Zhong smiled slightly and moved Gu Mu'er aside.

Looking at Du Zhong, Gu Mu'er was completely baffled!

What is this guy up to?

Meanwhile, the doctors and nurses who had been timing their arrival returned to the park, surrounding the two competitors.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Du Zhong made a ridiculous move.

He placed the pot in front of him and, with a solemn expression, started singing to the pot.

A song that no one understood, and even found eerie!

"I thought you had some secret technique, but in the end, you're just pretending to be a mystic! Do you think this will make the medicine different? Ha! What a joke!"

Wu Haihua couldn't help but laugh and mock Du Zhong!

The surrounding people also burst into laughter, completely baffled by Du Zhong's actions.

Old Qin, who had been silent, suddenly froze and quietly walked to Du Zhong's side, looking at him with excitement.

Yesterday, when Du Zhong treated the child, he had his suspicions but didn't dare to confirm them.

But now, he was completely certain!

Because the song Du Zhong was singing was an ancient sound wave energy, a melody that had long disappeared from the world, and he had finally heard it in his lifetime!

This song was a form of ancient Chinese medicine, which could transmit the energy of heaven and earth to the decoction through sound waves!

By integrating this invisible and intangible energy, the efficacy of the decoction would be greatly enhanced!

Old Qin never thought that the thing he had sought all his life would actually appear before his eyes, almost making him shed tears of joy!

No one noticed Old Qin's change, as everyone was focused on Du Zhong.

Everyone was discussing Du Zhong.

But Du Zhong, like an old monk chanting scriptures, filtered out all the discussions and ridicule.

This was indeed a sound wave energy incantation, a technique from ancient medicine that transmitted energy through sound waves. The same medicine and condition in others' hands might have the same effect, but not in Du Zhong's hands!

This was his biggest reliance in the third competition!

Du Zhong never did anything impulsively or without confidence. When Wu Haihua proposed the three competitions, he already had full confidence, and now it was just a matter of execution!

After finishing the song, Du Zhong turned around.

"Done, pour the medicine!"

Looking at the puzzled Gu Mu'er, Du Zhong smiled.

"Oh!"

Gu Mu'er walked forward, looking at Du Zhong as if he were a monster, and poured out a bowl of decoction.

"Regardless of how you pretend to be a mystic, the results will be clear now!"

Wu Haihua sneered, "I want to see if your mystic tricks really work!"

At this moment, the discussions around them stopped.

Everyone was eagerly awaiting the final result.

Wu Haihua walked forward first, helped the patient, and made him drink the entire bowl of medicine.

"How do you feel now? Not in pain anymore?"

After drinking the medicine, Wu Haihua confidently asked.

"Indeed, it's not as painful as before, but I still feel very weak and have a sour taste in my mouth."

The patient's frown eased slightly as he spoke.

"This condition needs time to improve. How can you expect to be completely cured after just one dose of medicine?"

Wu Haihua replied to the patient and then turned to Du Zhong, saying, "Your turn!"

Hearing this, Du Zhong took the bowl of medicine from Gu Mu'er and walked to the patient.

"Will your medicine make me hallucinate and start dancing like you did?"

As soon as Du Zhong approached, the patient laughed and asked.

Immediately, laughter erupted again.

Old Qin glanced around, a mysterious look in his eyes!

"Maybe you'll even be able to dance after drinking it!"

Wu Haihua laughed and added, looking at Du Zhong mockingly.

In the park, laughter echoed, as if it were a grand party rather than a serious competition.

"Dancing?"

Du Zhong was taken aback, then laughed, "Maybe it really can!"

With that, he handed the medicine to the patient, watching him drink it all.

"I don't feel anything."

After drinking, the patient looked at Du Zhong, puzzled.

"I told you, the same medicine and the same condition, how could there be different effects!"

"That the patient didn't react means the decoction method was wrong, causing the medicine to lose its efficacy!"

"This time, Du Zhong has really messed up, not only losing to Doctor Wu but also involving Gu Mu'er!"

A wave of sighs spread through the crowd!

Seeing this result, most people who had been waiting for an exciting showdown sighed and turned to leave.

Even Gu Mu'er clenched her teeth, feeling responsible if they lost!

In the entire park, only Du Zhong remained calm.

Old Qin, standing beside him, had a gleam in his eyes!

"Huh!"

Just as most people were about to leave, Du Zhong's patient suddenly exclaimed, drawing everyone's attention back.

"I'm better!"

The patient looked at Du Zhong in surprise, saying, "After a few rumbling sounds in my stomach, the pain is gone, I don't feel weak, and the sour taste in my mouth is gone!"

As he spoke, the patient stood up and walked around, even taking a few steps!

Seeing this, the crowd was stunned!

The same condition, the same medicine, but different results!

Wu Haihua had only reduced the patient's pain, but Du Zhong's medicine had completely cured the patient!

How could this be?

At this moment, everyone was speechless!

Wu Haihua hurriedly checked the patient Du Zhong had treated, and after a thorough examination, he fell to the ground, pale-faced.
