Chapter 1027

Otto had never thought that Sebastian would have such a tight grip on the bag of herbs. He gave the latter a confused look. "Aren't you giving it to me? Well, let go!"

Sebastian chuckled and said, "If you want the traditional herbs, it would mean that you have to recognize the potential of traditional medicine."

Otto's face reddened, and he nodded, "I'll readily admit that I had been too judgmental. I had poor knowledge of traditional medicine, but I think its effect is undeniable. It's just that science isn't advanced enough to explain it.

"Based on the traditional medicine's effects, however, it certainly has its restorative powers. I'd even go so far as to say modern medicine couldn't achieve what traditional medicine did."

Sebastian loosened his grip and went back to the couch to take a seat. The others also went back to their seats.

Otto took the herbal pouch. His lips felt dry, and he had an urge to drink the potion in the herbal pouch. However, he felt that it was too hasty if he did it now.

Otto pondered on it for a while before he pocketed the herbal pouch. He would drink it when there was no one else around him.

Matthew saw everything. There was a reason he didn't retort to Otto when the latter said that traditional medicine was nonexistent. It was because he knew the latter would eventually know the wondrous effects of traditional medicine.

Now that Otto had witnessed what traditional medicine could do, Matthew thought it was time for him to announce his mission.

"Everyone. I invited two modern medicine practitioners over because I intend to integrate traditional and modern medicine."

Troy frowned. "I can understand it if someone else doesn't understand the curative effects of traditional medicine, but there was no way you don't know it. Why are you integrating it with modern medicine?"

Matthew chuckled and explained. "I am a traditional medicine practitioner. I believe that no one in the world knows more about traditional medicine or supports it more than I do.

"However, it was a fact that traditional medicine was going downhill. If we want traditional medicine to rise again, we have to keep up with the times and assimilate modern medicine into traditional medicine. We need the technology and all means of treatment possible."

Tony looked at Matthew. He was thankful to the latter, but they were talking about traditional medicine here. It was a career that he spent his entire life on.

Matthew noticed Tony not speaking, and he continued, "Think about your nephews and nieces, such as Benson, Marilyn, and Darius. They don't accept traditional medicine, and they don't intend to inherit it. In fact, they are turning their backs on it.

"If the old way doesn't work, then we will have to change. As times changed, the human mind changed, and technology moved forward and grew more advanced. We have to grow stronger if we want to pass on a certain skill.

Tony sighed when Matthew brought up the three useless youngsters. What the latter said was true. "You have my support."

Renae rose to her feet with a smile and stared at Matthew with an earnest gaze. "You know you have my vote."

Sebastian, Silas, Kingston, Carson, and Pierce quickly stood up to show their support.

Matthew smiled. He could finally bring together traditional and modern medicines. It would forge a new future for traditional medicine.

He chuckled and said, "Today marks

the beginning of our first mission. We are going to treat fevers and colds with an integrated medicine. We with find a way to provide the patients with the best effect and minimal damage to the human body within the shortest time frame."

When Tony heard that it was about treating fevers and colds, he chuckled and said, "Traditional mediefe is very effective in curing colds if we add modern medicine into the mix, it would make things even simpler.

"We could find the best treatment method in three months."

Otto smiled and said, "It will be shorter than that. We can treat colds with both traditional medicine and modern medicine. Everyone here are medical expert, and I also have years of clinical experience.

"Needless to say, it will be a piece of cake for us to treat colds together. That is why I have faith that we will be able to find a better treatment plan in a week, at most."

Was it that easy?

Matthew thought it would be an immensely complicated and time-consuming process to integrate traditional and modern medicine. In fact, he thought he could only kickstart this grand process.

As for how far he could take it, it was up to fate.

As Matthew listened to what everyone said, he began to wonder if he had overestimated the difficulty of the task. With that said, this was the outcome he had hoped.

Matthew smiled and said, "We'll see the fruits of your labor in a week then."
