The five people who were eliminated stood in a row on the stage.
“I think, both the audience here and those in front of the TV know that the five of you are very awesome. From the initial audition to the top fifteen of the country, you have stood out from hundreds of thousands of people, which has proved your capacity. To be one of the top fifteen of the country is also an honor, which only belongs to you.”
As usual, the host walked to the front of the five people and said some words to comfort and praise them. Then he handed the microphone to one of them and said, “Before you leave the stage, please say a few words to the audience on the scene and those who are watching TV.”
The first person took the microphone. “It really benefited me a lot to participate in the Young Physician of Huaxia Competition. I’ve learned a lot of knowledge that I don’t know. It also made me deeply realize that I should work hard in a certain aspect. I am a Chinese Medicine doctor. Whether now or in the future, I will keep on learning and continue to improve myself.”
Then the man turned to look at Fang Qiu and said, “Fang Qiu, one day, I will definitely surpass you!”
Upon hearing that, the host smiled.
The audience also responded with warm applause.
Eventually, after this person’s speech, the other four people also said to Fang Qiu one after another that they would surpass him one day.
This situation made all the people on the spot laugh.
In the promotion area, Fang Qiu was grumbling with a bitter smile on his face, “Why do I become a target for no reason again?”
At this time, the host said, “Ha-ha, since the five young talents are all aiming at surpassing Fang Qiu, so let’s ask him what he feels.”
After the five people finished their speech, the host walked toward Fang Qiu and asked, “Fang Qiu, what do you think of this?”
Fang Qiu smiled slightly and said, “Well… Actually, the target you should surpass is the three prominent judges, not me.”
As he finished, the last one of the five people immediately picked up the microphone and immediately retaliated, “If you think you can’t surpass the judges, then we’ll target at them.”
Upon hearing that, Fang Qiu gave a wry smile and said no more.
The three judges also laughed.
Li Zhengtang picked up the microphone and said, “Doctors of Chinese Medicine should be ambitious. We, three old men, are waiting for someone to surpass us. We not only need to wait for Fang Qiu to surpass us, but also wait for all the young people to surpass us.”
As a result, all the audience immediately gave warm applause as they heard that.
Of course, even though the final result had come out, the recording didn’t finish yet.
After the audience left, another round of recording began on the scene. Of course, it was not for the next episode, but the extra material for this episode, which needed every contestant to enter a room for a single recording and analyze the judgments of the Four Methods to Diagnose a Disease that they applied in the five patients.
By the time they finished recording, it was already night.
In order to record the show, lunch and dinner were prepared by the crew, so the contestants could have it in the broadcast hall.
At 9 o’clock in the evening, the director announced, “The recording is over.” With his order, all the people finally relaxed.
Before they left, Director Li Huawen announced, “There’s something you need to know. Because the seventh episode has been recorded for too long, we decided to divide the material into two parts and air them as the seventh episode and the eighth episode.
“The next time, which is the recording time of the ninth episode, will be three weeks later. As usual, the crew will send you a text message to inform you on time.”
After he finished speaking, everyone started to leave.
Because it was getting late, everyone returned to the hotel to take a rest.
The next day, Fang Qiu and Jiang Miaoyu returned to the University of Jiangjing Chinese Medicine together.
Actually, Fang Qiu intended to take Jiang Miaoyu to stay and go sightseeing for another day. After all, the last time they came here, they didn’t manage to visit the Great Wall due to the accident.
However, Jiang Miaoyu wanted to rush back to study so as to prepare for the next competition. She didn’t dare to neglect it at all, for fear of being eliminated in the next round.
Fang Qiu thought that three days later, it would be Sunday, the day of the examination of the doctor of brightness. Before the examination, he had to study hard, so he gave up the idea of staying.
In the morning, as soon as Fang Qiu returned to school, he stayed in the library and barely came out.
Until the second day after Fang Qiu returned to Jiangjing City, Yang Bo, the influencer on Weibo, had never posted a word and even secretly deleted all his previous posts on Weibo.
Eventually, the matter of his posts being deleted was soon revealed, which caused another heated discussion.
“Why did he delete all his posts?”
“Didn’t he just enjoy taunting before? Why did he delete them all of a sudden?”
“Could it be that he was so scolded by everyone that he left Weibo?”
“Sure. This man was slapped so hard in the face and still madly wanted to make trouble for Fang Qiu. But Fang Qiu ignored him. Maybe he is crazy.”
“Alas, nowadays, the fists and knives are not as violent as the cyberbullying. It’s like killing people invisibly.”
“What do you mean by cyberbullying? Damn! Are you insane?”
“He was digging his own grave! He asked for it.”
Seeing the heated discussion on the Internet, the crew of Central Television didn’t make any statements. They were all waiting for the release of the show on Sunday to surprise the audience.
Of course, the crew wasn’t afraid that the audience on the scene would leak anything that happened in the show because every audience there had signed a confidentiality agreement.
Time flew. Today was Sunday.
In the Jiangjing City Chinese Medicine Association, it was so lively today.
Five doctors of brightness from Earth-replenishing Field gathered together to drink tea and chat in the association’s hall.
There was no doubt that the five of them were the doctors of brightness who were invited to be the examiners today.
Taking a closer look, they weren’t aged, probably in their 40s. They still looked quite young.
As doctors of brightness, they naturally knew how to improve their health.
Not only were the five doctors of brightness, but the president and the vice president of the Chinese Medicine Association were also there.
Normally, the president and the vice president of the Chinese Association rarely showed up.
Because there were only a few people who would attend the examination of doctors of brightness every year. The examination of doctors of brightness was considered a big event in the Chinese Medicine Association.
Moreover, the person who took the exam this time was Fang Qiu!
In the hall of the Chinese Medicine Association, the crowd gathered together.
Someone said, “Fang Qiu is very popular now.”
Someone nodded in agreement. “Yes. Looking at his performance on the TV show, this kid is quite good at Chinese Medicine, but I don’t know how he will perform in this test.”
“I had something to do today, but I canceled it when I heard that the person who came to take the exam was Fang Qiu. I hope this new star of Chinese Medicine won’t let me down.”
“I don’t think you will be disappointed. Judging from his performance on TV, he should be capable. It’s just that the examination of the doctor of brightness is not easy, and he chose the Earth-replenishing Field. I don’t know how much he knows about the Earth-replenishing Field.”
“I think he can do it. He has only studied Chinese Medicine for one year, but he has reached such a level. He is simply a genius in the Chinese Medicine circle!”
“I heard that Fang Qiu is Xu Miaolin’s student. Is it real?”
“Xu Miaolin?” Upon hearing this name, the five doctors of brightness in the Earth-replenishing Field all changed their expressions.
Compared to them, Xu Miaolin was much more powerful.
Anyway, Xu Miaolin was a highly-skilled doctor excelling in all fields. There was no comparison at all.
“Didn’t Xu Miaolin disappear a long time ago? Why does he have a disciple?”
“I don’t think so. Where did this rumor come from?”
The five of them were discussing intensely.
At this time, sitting next to them, one of the two old men in his 70s or 80s suddenly stood up and walked over. “Yes, Fang Qiu is indeed Xu Miaolin’s student. The test today was arranged by Xu Miaolin.”
The moment he spoke, the five doctors were stunned at the same time.
“I didn’t expect it to be true.”
“Now that Fang Qiu is appreciated by Xu Miaolin, it seems that Fang Qiu is indeed a genius.”
“Xu Miaolin and we practiced Chinese Medicine together. Now we are doctors of brightness, but he has already become a highly-skilled doctor. This is the difference.”
“Whether Fang Qiu is a marvel or a genius, it all depends on whether he can pass the examination or not.”
“I think he can do it.”
“I don’t think so!”
“Why?”
“Chinese Medicine focuses on self-cultivation and morality. I think Fang Qiu is too arrogant on the TV show. From this point of view, he doesn’t have the right attitude. How can he learn Chinese Medicine well if his attitude is not right?”
For a moment, the five men held their own views and quarreled with each other.
In the end, under the persuasion of the president of the Chinese Medicine Association, the five of them stopped arguing and decided to unanimously confront Fang Qiu.
No matter what happened, they must not show any mercy today.
This kid had improved the influence of traditional Chinese Medicine all by himself, which made them feel stressed. They wanted to see what he was like.
At nine o’clock in the morning that day.
At nine o’clock in the morning, with Xu Miaolin’s guidance, Fang Qiu arrived at the Chinese Medicine Association on time.
This was an antique pavilion. In fact, it was just a private courtyard rather than an association’s location.
The whole yard was all built with mahogany.
Walking to the patio, he could see that the courtyard was old-fashioned, and there were green plants everywhere.
Walking in the courtyard, Fang Qiu felt extremely quiet.
He passed through the gate.
Fang Qiu saw an old man watering plants in the patio.
Fang Qiu asked, “Excuse me, could you tell me where the examination room is?”
The old man put down the kettle in his hand and asked, “You are Fang Qiu, right?”
Fang Qiu nodded. “Yes, I am.”
“I’ve seen you on TV. Not bad.”
The old man nodded with a smile and said, “Follow me. Everything is ready. The exam can start at any time.”
Fang Qiu answered with a nod. “Thank you.”
The old man smiled and led Fang Qiu to the attic. “Come.”
Led by the old man, Fang Qiu soon came to the first floor of the attic. After circling around the extremely wide hall, he came to the door of a room.
“Get in. They’re all waiting for you inside,” the old man said, then turned around and left with a smile.
Fang Qiu watched the old man go away, and then turned around and knocked on the door.
“Dong, dong, dong…” There was a knock on the door.
“Come in.” A deep and serious voice came from the room.
