The Leng family of Jingzhou descended from Imperial Physicians. It is said that they are the disciples of Medicine King's secret lineage of Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles, passed down through countless generations. During feudal times, they treated only emperors and nobility, earning extraordinary reverence among the people.
In a previous dynasty, the Leng family treated the emperor's stubborn headaches. As a token of gratitude, the emperor personally inscribed and gifted them a plaque declaring them "The Greatest Under Heaven." From then on, the Leng family's reputation as divine healers spread throughout the land, from court to common folk.
The Leng family's fame soared, yet they remained humble and low-key. Instead of reveling in their prestige, they established a medical hall, Mingren Hall, which offered free consultations and medicines to the public on the first and fifteenth day of each month.
