A sense of shock lingered among everyone.
Meanwhile, the individuals responsible for the Heavenly Physician Conference, including the Medical Sage, were holding a meeting in a courtyard within the Azure Cloud Manor.
"Gentlemen, what are your thoughts on Xu Fengqiu's dominant medical skills in this Heavenly Physician Conference?"
The Medical Sage looked at the few of them.
Clearly, while they were shocked, many people, including the Medical Sage, had begun to suspect that someone within the organization responsible for this Heavenly Physician Conference had leaked information.
They could accept that Xu Fengqiu was very powerful and the biggest dark horse.
However, they couldn't accept that he was this strong.
They felt it was impossible.
But as the organizers of the Heavenly Physician Conference, how could they directly question Xu Fengqiu?
A strong individual said, "Very strong, unbelievably strong, somewhat unreal."
Another elder also nodded.
The Medical Sage said, "Let's put it this way, gentlemen, you are all top-notch physicians. Even I find it difficult to replicate his medical skills in the second round."
They nodded.
Who could disagree?
It was too fast.
The Medical Sage said, "What are your thoughts, gentlemen?"
"Is Your Excellency the Medical Sage worried that someone has leaked the secrets of this Heavenly Physician Conference?"
The Medical Sage said, "I'm not particularly worried about that. After all, compared to Xu Fengqiu's heaven-defying abilities, I believe it's even less likely that someone leaked information. However…"
He changed his tone and said, "Leakage is one thing, but if someone with ulterior motives obtained something, that would be another matter entirely."
They pondered for a moment and nodded.
At this moment, more than a dozen figures walked over.
Among these people were the Medicine God, the Qin Manor Head of Azure Cloud Manor, the Valley Master of Hundred Flowers Valley, and other figures of extremely high status.
The Medicine God said, "Actually, there's one thing that doesn't make sense. Even if we take a step back and assume that's the case, what would be the purpose?"
Everyone's gaze turned to him.
A strong individual said, "Regarding Xu Fengqiu's identity, we've conducted extensive investigations. Unfortunately, besides finding out that he's an elder of the Haotian Sect, we couldn't find any other information. No one knows where he comes from."
"Could he be from a top-tier secluded family?"
There were many secluded families.
Some had existed for tens of thousands of years.
They usually didn't reveal themselves.
It was normal for everyone to be unfamiliar with people from such families.
"That's most likely the only possibility."
"Then what's the purpose?"
"Gilding."
Hearing this, many people fell silent.
They had no choice.
Because Xu Fengqiu was indeed too heaven-defying.
He had exceeded their understanding.
Therefore, they really couldn't accept the existence of such a thing.
Then they could only assume that Xu Fengqiu was colluding with someone here.
That he had received information.
The Medical Sage said, "Currently, to prevent any unforeseen circumstances, the best and only way is to temporarily change the content of the Heavenly Physician Conference's competition."
Everyone pondered for a moment.
"Then that's the only way."
"But this matter needs to be implemented as soon as possible, which requires us to weigh all aspects."
"That's not difficult, as long as it meets the intensity of the Heavenly Physician Conference."
"Furthermore, whether his medical skills are truly strong or not, changing the content of the competition and then looking at his results will reveal everything at a glance. We only need to change the content of the third round of the competition, and the subsequent rounds can remain unchanged for the time being."
They nodded.
In short, although everyone didn't directly say anything about Xu Fengqiu.
They all felt in their hearts that Xu Fengqiu had an inside contact.
That he had obtained information.
"Then, gentlemen, please excuse yourselves for a moment while we discuss how to change the third round," said the Medical Sage.
"Yes, that's not a problem."
…
The next day.
The Heavenly Physician Conference was held as normal.
In the second round, 150 people had been eliminated.
Leaving only the last 50 people.
These last 50 people were basically the most top-notch existences in the entire Eight Desolations.
"My luck is not bad."
Li Ruoxue muttered to herself.
She had actually entered the top 50 of the Heavenly Physician Conference.
She knew that in this third round, where 50 were reduced to 20, she probably didn't have the strength to continue moving forward.
But that was enough.
The reputation of being in the top 50 of the Heavenly Physician Conference, especially for a girl her age, was definitely enough.
She glanced at Xu Fengqiu.
"Is he truly too heaven-defying, or is it because, as some people say, he obtained information from someone in the organizing committee of the Heavenly Physician Conference in advance?"
Li Ruoxue wasn't sure.
If it was the latter, then Li Ruoxue felt that she might not necessarily need to climb onto Xu Fengqiu.
It was mainly because it was too exaggerated.
Even the Poison Venerable and a few others were completely not his opponents and were crushed by him.
"Everyone."
The Medical Sage glanced at the 50 promoted people.
"Today is the venue for the third round of the Heavenly Physician Conference."
"And the content of the third round of the Heavenly Physician Conference is a competition of medical principles."
Hearing this, the Poison Venerable sneered in his heart.
"As expected!"
He muttered to himself.
A competition of medical principles was a relatively common segment in the Heavenly Physician Conference.
Simply put, it was a competition of knowledge in the field of medicine.
This might be the simplest segment, but it wasn't easy.
It required answering questions.
And the content of the questions was in the field of medicine.
For example, asking you about a certain situation, how should this situation be resolved, how should this poison be detoxified, how should this hidden illness be treated?
You needed to explain it in great detail.
If you answered correctly, then naturally you were amazing.
In the Poison Venerable's opinion, this was aimed at Xu Fengqiu.
You're very good at detoxifying and refining pills, aren't you?
All of this was based on your excellent medical principles.
And you were silently doing this yourself.
Now, everything needed to be put on the table.
Aren't you, Xu Fengqiu, very awesome?
Aren't your medical skills incredible?
Then now, can you still show a crushing posture under so many top physicians?
Can you directly bring your top-notch medical skills and medical principles to the table?
If you can, then you're truly awesome!
Because the Poison Venerable knew that even if there was a competition of medical principles in this Heavenly Physician Conference, this time some questions had already been changed.
Moreover, it was estimated that the Medical Sage had come up with it himself.
Absolutely no one else knew what these questions were.
Then, there was absolutely no possibility of the question bank being leaked!
Therefore, whether Xu Fengqiu truly had something or was revealing his true colors, this round would be the easiest to demonstrate.
