Chapter 1022: Chapter 1022: The Successor of Taiyi Divine Needle Chapter 1022: Chapter 1022: The Successor of Taiyi Divine Needle Ouyang Feifei didn’t answer but said meaningfully, “He’s just taken up his post; it’s impossible for him to start attending official events right away. Moreover, even if officials attend the traditional Chinese medicine annual conference, they are only deputy positions in charge of science, education, culture, and health. In general, principals don’t show up.”

“Alright,” Luo Ziling didn’t ask further.

“Today, I attended the annual conference with you without revealing my identity, so just treat me as your companion.”

“What kind of companion?” Luo Ziling squinted at Ouyang Feifei. “What was my affiliation when you registered me?”

“Descendant of a Family of Traditional Chinese Medicine.”

“Oh?!” Luo Ziling was a bit surprised, then asked, “So for today’s conference, are you acting as my senior sister or junior sister?”

“As you wish,” replied Ouyang Feifei indifferently, without saying much more.

After breakfast, Luo Ziling and Ouyang Feifei went to the venue of the traditional Chinese medicine annual conference together.

Li Jing, Wang Qing, and Luo Yuqing, three women, were attending as representatives of related pharmaceutical companies.

They sat in a different direction, together with many representatives from the pharmaceutical industry there to join the excitement.

It has become the norm for hoards of pharmaceutical representatives to join in the excitement during annual medical conferences.

Although Luo Ziling and Ouyang Feifei were just in their regular attire, their faces were too attractive, and coupled with their good temperament, they attracted everyone’s attention upon entering.

Aside from the older individuals who only glanced at them before turning away, others sporadically shot glances their way.

Some even whispered and asked around, wanting to know who the handsome man and beautiful woman were.

Most of the participants of the traditional Chinese medicine annual conference were older men and women, but that didn’t stop their gossiping nature.

Luo Ziling and Ouyang Feifei were probably the youngest attendees of the annual conference aside from the pharmaceutical representatives, which was another reason they attracted so much attention.

This edition of the traditional Chinese medicine annual conference was hosted by the Traditional Chinese Medicine Administration Bureau and organized by the Yue Provincial Health Commission.

The traditional Chinese medicine annual conference is held once a year, rotating its location nationwide, and those qualified to attend are the elites in the field of traditional medicine.

Therefore, it was surprising for everyone to see young people like Luo Ziling and Ouyang Feifei attending the conference, as it was clear they were not pharmaceutical representatives.

Luo Ziling and Ouyang Feifei didn’t pay attention to the other participants’ curious stares; they sat quietly, flipping through the distributed materials.

However, after looking for a while, Luo Ziling didn’t want to continue, as the conference materials were too dry.

Many were hefty excerpts from “Huangdi Neijing” and “Treatise on Cold Pathogenic Diseases,” and there was even a member’s study discussing “Tangtou Song Decision.” In Luo Ziling’s view, none of the content had any novelty, and it was completely uninteresting to him.

Ouyang Feifei naturally had no interest in these things either. Seeing that Luo Ziling wasn’t very enthusiastic, she leaned her head closer and started to talk to him.

“Shortly, the host will introduce you and invite you to give a speech, you should prepare,” she said.

“Why didn’t you tell me yesterday? The meeting is about to start, and you only tell me now?” Luo Ziling frowned and asked Ouyang Feifei, “Do you want me to make a fool of myself?”

“Wang Qing just told me,” Ouyang Feifei pushed her mobile phone in front of Luo Ziling, “They made a last-minute decision.”

Luo Ziling glanced at the information on Ouyang Feifei’s phone and didn’t say much else.

At nine o’clock, the annual conference officially began.

On stage sat a host of leaders attending the conference, including a deputy director of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Administration Bureau, a deputy director of the Health and Family Planning Commission, a deputy governor of Yue Province in charge of science, education, culture, health, the leaders of the Health Commission and the Administration Bureau of Traditional Chinese Medicine, a deputy mayor of Yangcheng, and several officials from the health care system.

The level of this Traditional Chinese Medicine annual conference was quite high, considering it managed to invite so many high-ranking officials. There were several officials at the vice-ministerial level, and it wasn’t that these people were very powerful in themselves; their presence indicated the conference was very important and of a high-level, which somewhat surprised Luo Ziling.

Luo Ziling wasn’t particularly interested in these officials, and Ouyang Feifei listened with an indifferent look as well.

Just like the last conference, Ouyang Feifei was here to accompany Luo Ziling; otherwise, she would have had no interest in wasting her time here.

After introducing the leaders, they began to introduce some of the heavyweight guests in attendance.

The host of today’s conference was the director of the Traditional Chinese Medicine department of the Yue Provincial Health Commission, a woman in her fifties.

This woman had quite a scholarly demeanor, and it was said that her research on Traditional Chinese Medicine was also impressive.

Finally, Luo Ziling heard a few names that were somewhat familiar.

There were famous TCM pharmacy experts Guo Chuncheng, well-known for integrating Chinese and Western medical treatments Wu Sanming, Dong’s Mysterious Acupoints skill successor Dong Changqing, Thirteen Needles of Guimen successor Wang Xuyun, Three Talents Needle Skill successor Cheng Bushi, Fire Needle successor He Yan, and other TCM experts that Luo Ziling had heard his grandfather Luo Liansheng talk about.

These people were all quite old, with the youngest among them probably in his fifties.

When they stood up to acknowledge the host’s introduction, Luo Ziling paid close attention to them, because they were people he wanted to connect with.

To his surprise, Gu Jian’an, who had competed in acupuncture skill with him last time, did not appear, and his grandson Gu Changwei also did not attend the meeting.

“The successor of Taiyi Divine Needle, the great traditional medicine expert Mr. Luo Liansheng’s grandson, Luo Ziling.” Suddenly, Luo Ziling heard the host announcing his name.

Stunned for a moment, he didn’t react immediately and therefore did not stand up to acknowledge the introduction.

“Which one is Mr. Luo Ziling?” Seeing nobody standing up, the host quickly repeated the name again.

There was silence all around as many people’s gazes swept across the hall, eager to see what the person named Luo Ziling, described as the descendant of a great traditional medical practitioner, looked like.

Ouyang Feifei promptly nudged Luo Ziling, and he then came to his senses, stood up leisurely, and acknowledged the audience.

It wasn’t a big deal that Luo Ziling didn’t stand up at first, but as soon as he did, there was an uproar in the room.

The medical experts and successors that the host had just introduced were all senior figures, and nobody expected the successor of Taiyi Divine Needle the host mentioned to be such a young person.

The Taiyi Divine Needle was first recorded in the Tang dynasty by Sun Simiao in “Newly Compiled Materia Medica,” with a specialized text by Han Yifeng in the Qing dynasty, and medical experts Fan Yuchuan and Zhou Yonghe compiled a book titled “Taiyi Divine Needle.” Taiyi Divine Needle’s acupuncture skills have been widely used, but due to the loss of the original texts, the intricacies of the technique are unknown to many. Nowadays, many techniques, including the Fire Needle, the Thirteen Needles of Guimen, and the Three Talents Needle Skill, have been developed based on Taiyi Divine Needle, but nobody dares to claim to be a successor of Taiyi Divine Needle. Therefore, when the host introduced Luo Ziling in such a manner, and Luo Ziling turned out to be a very young individual, naturally everyone in the audience was stunned.
