"That's right, although Lao Jiang is usually unreliable, he did not tell lies this time. The position of president of the Yanjing General Association of Traditional Chinese Medicine was originally intended for my younger brother, but although my younger brother has excellent medical skills, he is really

You are too young and have insufficient qualifications. Pushing you rashly is a disaster rather than a blessing, so I let Lao Jiang make a transition."

It seems that Mr. Hu and Mr. Jiang have cleared up their old grudges during this time. Although they often quarreled habitually, they have completely let go of their hatred. At this time, they took the initiative to stand up and speak for Mr. Jiang.

"Yes, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Although our traditional Chinese medicine community emphasizes that masters are teachers, there are always some self-righteous people who rely on their elders and sell off their elders. It is also out of this consideration that the higher-ups let Lao Jiang serve as the first traditional Chinese medicine doctor.

The position of president of the General Association will be transitioned. I guess as long as I wait until my junior brother wins a resounding victory at the medical summit on March 3, the latest appointment should be made."

Mr. Zhang also nodded and endorsed Mr. Jiang.

"Okay, I don't mean that. Mr. Jiang deserves to be the president of the General Association. I am still junior and have many chores. Even if I was given that position, I would not have time to take care of things."

Ding Ning didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He did this as if he was thinking about the position of president of the General Association of Traditional Chinese Medicine. He really didn't take this position seriously.

"You don't need to take care of things. The association is just a non-governmental organization. You only need to show up at the medical exchange conference organized by the association every year. You don't have to take care of things at all. Besides, there are three vice presidents. They are just

He is the person who specifically handles the internal affairs of the association, so you can continue to be your hands-off boss."

Mr. Jiang said seductively.

At his age, he has no desire for power or money. The only thing he pursues is progress in medical skills. He will never miss this golden opportunity for Ding Ning to become a disciple.

Asking him to become Ding Ning's master, he couldn't get rid of that old face, but he was absolutely willing to become Ding Ning's master.

After all, in his opinion, Ding Ning can possess such superb medical skills at such a young age, so one can imagine how shocking his master's medical skills are.

If he knew that Ding Ning was already far better than his master, I'm afraid he...

Uh, no, he still knows how to become his master. Anyway, Ding Ning's medical skills are enough to qualify him as his master. It's just that he is too young to lose face and just become his master. Now that he has the fig leaf of acting as a master and accepting apprentices, it's enough for him to be able to pass on his old face.

"That doesn't matter. Since Mr. Jiang is also interested, it's okay to accept two, and it's okay to accept three. I'll just accept them all on Master's behalf."

Ding Ning pretended to be hesitant and gritted his teeth, and agreed to Lao Jiang's request to become a disciple, making Jiang Lao Le's old face look like an old chrysanthemum.

Ding Ning firmly refused to kowtow and perform the apprenticeship ceremony, but the three old men insisted that the elders and younger ones should be orderly and the etiquette should not be abandoned. Even if the master was not around, they still had to toast a cup of tea to go through the motions.

Ding Ning couldn't resist them and could only sit upright on the office chair moved by Mr. Zhang in the open space. The three old men bent down one by one, raised the tea cup to the level of their foreheads, and said respectfully: "Senior brother, please have some tea."

."

Being treated with such respect by the three old men, Ding Ning was on pins and needles and felt uncomfortable all over. After finally going through the formalities, the three old men stood respectfully with their hands in awe and looked at him eagerly.

Ding Ning was looked at inexplicably and thought he had flowers on his face. Mr. Hu and Mr. Zhang smiled and said nothing, but Mr. Jiang smiled slyly and said: "The etiquette cannot be neglected, and the tea has been served. According to the ceremony, it should be done now

It’s time for the little senior brother to give us, the new junior brothers, a welcome gift.”

"So you were waiting for me here."

Only then did Ding Ning suddenly realize what he was saying, which made him laugh and cry.

However, he also knows that this is a necessary procedure for apprenticeship, and most masters will do it.

Seal a big red envelope to a disciple. Although he is not a master, he is a disciple on behalf of his master. There is nothing wrong with him giving out this red envelope.

It's just that he also knows that the three elders are not short of money, so naturally they don't care about the red envelope. They just want to celebrate.

Just kidding, who is he? How could he use vulgar red envelopes to recruit disciples?

Ding Ning had an inscrutable look on his face, and pretended to dig through his pockets, and took out three dark pills with irregular shapes on the surface...

If the three gentle and gentle girls were here, they would definitely see at a glance that these were the three pills that were not even pills that Qingyun had just refined at night.

Although Ding Ning said it harshly at the time, this thing can only be regarded as the prototype of the elixir, but in fact, the efficacy of the medicine is not much worse than that of the complete elixir, and it is suitable for the three "teacher disciples" in front of him to take.

After all, they are getting older, their blood energy has declined, and their deficiencies cannot be replenished. Cheng Dan is a bit strong for them, and taking this medicine, which is between elixirs and pills, has the best effect.

"Eat it."

Ding Ning didn't explain, he held the elixir in his hand and said calmly.

Mr. Jiang hesitated for a moment and muttered to himself that this was a magical thing. It was said to be a legendary elixir. It was not round and smooth in appearance at all. It was very different from the elixir he imagined. But it was said to be a pill.

He had never seen such a strange-looking pill that was neither round nor square.

This hesitation caused the speed to slow down a bit. Mr. Hu and Mr. Zhang took the elixir without hesitation and swallowed it with a gulp.

Their eyes lit up instantly, and they squinted their eyes in intoxication. They felt warm in their stomachs, as if they were rejuvenated, and an endless stream of power was growing in their bodies.

Although Mr. Jiang was surprised by the appearance of the elixir, he firmly believed that Ding Ning would not harm him. Seeing Mr. Hu and Mr. Zhang both eating it without hesitation and showing such intoxicated expressions, he hesitated and reached out to take the last one.

After swallowing a pill, his eyes suddenly lit up and he narrowed his eyes in intoxication.

Ding Ning never explained what kind of drug it was. After they woke up from their intoxication, he smiled and said, "How does it feel?"

"Comfortable."

Mr. Jiang let out a long breath, with an unfinished expression on his face.

"I feel decades younger, like I'm young again."

Mr. Hu clenched his fist and said happily.

"Yes, I feel the same way. It's like I've returned to the way I was when I was energetic in my twenties and thirties. Brother, is this a pill? Why is it so magical? It has the miraculous effect of rejuvenating people."

Mr. Zhang said happily, and then asked curiously.

Ding Ning smiled noncommittally: "It's not an elixir, but it already has 70% of the medicinal properties of an elixir. It can be considered the best among pills, but it doesn't look very good."

The three elders were suddenly fascinated. If the elixir had such miraculous effects, how could the real elixir have such earth-shattering medicinal properties?

Especially Mr. Jiang, thinking of the Su family's old man's rejuvenation, subconsciously touched his gray hair, wondering if his hair would turn gray and become black, and he would be dozens of years younger.

"Don't be too happy too early. Even real elixirs, except for some extremely rare special elixirs, cannot rejuvenate people at all. You feel younger just because this pill contains abundant

The power of qi and blood replenishes your declining qi and blood, which will give you the illusion of rejuvenation."

Ding Ning Duotou poured cold water on them again. Mr. Hu and Mr. Zhang were doing better. Although they were disappointed, they were not disappointed. After all, they didn't have much expectations. What's more, this pill can replenish their declining energy and blood, allowing them to

Their energy becomes strong, which is enough to satisfy them.

As the saying goes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. But Mr. Jiang was different. He thought this pill would make him as young as the old man of the Su family, and his disappointment was palpable.

Ding Ning took in all their expressions, but his face remained calm at all. He sighed inwardly. Although Mr. Jiang was a good character, his character was far inferior to that of Mr. Hu and Mr. Zhang. It was no wonder that Mr. Hu had not chosen him in the first place.

My sister always held a grudge against him and hated him for so many years.

He smiled and patted Mr. Jiang on the shoulder: "Fourth Junior Brother, are you very disappointed?"

"No...what? Why did I become the fourth junior brother?"

Mr. Jiang's face immediately turned red when his thoughts were revealed. He was about to explain, but he suddenly realized that Ding Ning actually called him Fourth Junior Brother. His eyes suddenly widened and he asked in disbelief.

"Otherwise? Junior Brother Hu and Junior Brother Zhang came in earlier than you. Of course you are the Fourth Junior Brother."

Ding Ning said matter-of-factly.

"No, no, how can it be done? I'm one year older than Lao Hu, how can I call him senior brother?"

Mr. Jiang argued with a red face and thick neck.

"Then I'm still dozens of years younger than you? How about I give you the position of senior brother?"

Ding Ning's face darkened, and Jiang Lao's face turned red and his ears flushed after a single sentence. He gasped for air, his lips pursed and he was unable to speak for a long time.

According to his violent temper, if Ding Ning dared to push him like this, he would have become furious and walked away.

But things are different now. Ding Ning is acting as a master and accepting disciples. No matter how young he is, he still represents the face of his master. If you give him eight courages, he will not dare to lose his temper.

You must know that the Tao should not be taught lightly. In the field of Chinese medicine, the most important thing is the order of seniority and youth. Respecting the teacher and Tao is something engraved in the bones and blood. If he dares to walk away today, Ding Ning will dare to expel him from the school.

As soon as he became a disciple, he was expelled from the school because he did not respect his teacher. This would be looked down upon by everyone, and he would not be able to hang out in this circle in the future.

Mr. Hu and Mr. Zhang snickered secretly on the sidelines. They had an irreversible friendship, so they naturally advanced and retreated together. In addition, Mr. Zhang was nearly ten years younger than Mr. Hu, so they were willing to call him senior brother.

But Jiang Lao is different. Although they have turned enemies into friends now because they share the same ideals and goals, this old guy has a perverse temperament and a bad temper. He yells at them at every turn and calls them back and forth, as if he is a friend.

He calls himself Big Brother, and for the sake of unity, they can only swallow their anger and try their best to let him go, but it is absolutely false to say that they are not feeling aggrieved.

Now everyone is worshiping under Ding Ning's master. Seeing him shivering in front of Ding Ning, he feels so comfortable in his heart. It turns out that evil people need to be punished by evil people. If he hadn't come first, this old guy would be where he is today.

"What little senior brother taught me is that Jiang Laosi doesn't dare."

Mr. Jiang's face changed from green to red, and finally he bowed with his fists in his hands and said dejectedly.

When Jiang Laosi shouted this, it was tantamount to him recognizing himself as the fourth junior brother. With his unruly and unruly temperament, being able to do this was already a compromise.

Relying on his status to suppress others is also a helpless move for Ding Ning. What he needs is a united and stable support team. Mr. Jiang's personality is perverse and domineering, which is an unstable factor in this team. Proper beating is necessary, otherwise in the future

Maybe there will be some trouble.

But the beating should be stopped in moderation. Now that Mr. Jiang has surrendered, he will naturally not be aggressive anymore.

The big stick has been wielded, and it’s time to give the carrot.

Ding Ning patted Mr. Jiang on the shoulder as a sign of goodwill, then his expression straightened up and he said with unprecedented seriousness, "Since the three of you are now brothers in the same sect, I will now tell you about our sect."
