Return of the Immortal Emperor Daddy novel Chapter 282

"It's that one—the oldest," Wu Tian said, pointing. Qin Yuhan and Murong Yezi followed his gesture and saw a woman who appeared to be in her thirties.

Her complexion was pale and she wore a white lab coat, looking utterly ordinary. But Qin Yuhan and Murong Yezi were baffled. How could Wu Tian possibly say she was the oldest? Among the remaining participants, Huangfu Huisheng was as old as the hills and definitely older than her.

"She must have used some method to maintain her youth." Seeing the envious looks on Murong Yezi's and Qin Yuhan's faces, Wu Tian chuckled. "You only need to cultivate my Martial Path to preserve your youth forever. There's no need to envy her. You see, her skin has completely stiffened. It doesn't age, but it's so rigid that even smiling is a struggle. Moreover, she's harboring a lot of bugs on her body. Don't believe me? Watch."

Wu Tian snapped his fingers.

Just then, from the woman's cuffs, trouser legs, and sleeves, a dense swarm of bugs began to crawl out. Even a few pitch-black insects emerged from her ears. It was a disgusting sight.

This sudden spectacle instantly captured everyone's attention.

Several women gagged and retched. Meanwhile, some of the men had to swallow hard, fighting back the urge to do the same. The journalists also fought down the churning in their stomachs as they snapped photos and recorded video.

"What is that? It's so disgusting," the little one muttered, quickly turning her head away. She couldn't bear to look at the woman any longer; the sight of those bugs was making her nauseous. Her intuition also told her that this woman was her true opponent at this Divine Doctor Conference.

Seemingly aware of the little one's glance, the woman lifted her head slightly, her gaze settling on the small figure before her. Her eyes were cold and vacant, not like those of a living person. A forced smile stretched her lips as she murmured, "A fine specimen. She could be taken back and made a disciple."

"Who is this woman?" Huangfu Huisheng was also shocked by the sight of insects crawling all over her. He saw that she was an Easterner and her tools were also Eastern, with no connection to the West. This suggested she might be a practitioner of Chinese medicine. But could such a person exist within the field of Chinese medicine?

As Huangfu Huisheng pondered this, something suddenly clicked. He exclaimed, "Miao Jiang? Witchcraft? Are you a Gu practitioner from Miao Jiang?"

At Huangfu Huisheng's words, the entire venue erupted. Many had heard of the so-called Gu technique and witchcraft from novels or TV dramas. In those stories, people even used their own bodies to cultivate Gu. But no one had ever expected to witness it in reality. She must have been drawn here by the champion's prizes for the Divine Doctor Conference.

*Green Satchel Book*.

*The Thirteen Branches of Zhuyou*.

*Fetal Membrane Medicine Record*.

These were all lost medical texts. And now, even Gu Masters, thought to have been extinct for ages, had appeared.

"Everyone! All remaining practitioners of Chinese and Western medicine! We must not let her win the championship!" Huangfu Huisheng immediately looked at the remaining contestants and shouted sternly, "Such a harmful practice as witchcraft must not be allowed to continue existing in this world!"

Some of the Chinese medicine practitioners immediately echoed the President of the Chinese Medicine Association's words.

"Don't worry, President, we won't let her succeed!"

"That's right, she will fail!"

"The world only has room for Chinese and Western medicine! There is no place for witch doctors!"

The foreigners, meanwhile, didn't understand what was happening. They just found it amusing to watch the people of Dragon Country at each other's throats.

The little one, however, was a bit puzzled. There were bad people among Chinese medicine practitioners, too, like Huangfu Jiusi. What was a witch doctor? She didn't know. But the little one figured that as long as something could save people, it had a right to exist.

The woman ground her teeth. She was used to such discrimination.
