I Became a Medical Genius in the 80s

Chapter 717: Chapter 716

The day after Jiang Mingzhong made arrangements, he was ready to set off. The headquarters of the Mystic Doctor Association is not in Beijing, but in Jinbei City. Although it’s not a top-tier city, the resources are quite good.

Jiang Mingzhong came to say goodbye to Beisitian, thinking that once he found his old friend’s son, he would take him to see Beisitian, saving her the trouble of travel.

He just didn’t expect that Beisitian would want to come along!

”This... Doctor Bei, the journey is very tiring, the bus ride alone takes four to five hours...” Jiang Mingzhong said.

”No matter, it’s only two hours.” Beisitian replied.

She was already a little impatient. It was hard to catch such a clue, and she didn’t want to lose it.

Seeing Jiang Mingzhong’s troubled expression, she asked, ”What’s the matter, is it inconvenient for Elder Jiang?”

Jiang Mingzhong quickly waved his hand, ”No, no...” He awkwardly explained his plan, saying that if they went as ordinary people, they might get the cold shoulder, and he didn’t want Beisitian to face such treatment.

Beisitian found it interesting. Previously, the Mystic Doctor Association had approached them, hoping they could send a regular member to the association, which was considered an honor by most families and schools.

Beisitian indeed had this idea back then, but was distracted by a false clue, so she put it aside.

The Mystic Doctor Association had approached them twice more in the past two years, the last time being two months ago. Beisitian hadn’t expected to visit the headquarters herself.

The Qingyu School now only has four people, with her included. Even if they wanted to delegate, they could only send Wei Zhongxun, but Beisitian wasn’t keen on sending any of the current four.

Besides Little Yu Zhu who was still growing, it was a crucial moment for both Wei Zhongxun and Tian Zhi to make breakthroughs. If they went, it might delay their progress, because being part of the association involves many trivial matters that would be distracting.

This was why Beisitian repeatedly delayed.

But Beisitian still held onto her principle of not accepting students lightly, so she hadn’t taken on anyone in the past four years, nor had she found anyone suitable.

Seeing Beisitian not only undeterred but also showing interest, Jiang Mingzhong had no choice but to comply.

”Elder Jiang’s spirit still needs nurturing and strengthening. This is some talismanic water I made, Elder Jiang can drink it now,” Tian Zhi said.

Jiang Mingzhong nodded, immediately taking the cup and drinking it. Tian Zhi looked only around twenty-five or twenty-six years old, and at this age, one normally couldn’t use a talisman medium for talisman making. However, being Doctor Bei’s disciple, being able to create talismans at such a young age was not unexpected.

Jiang Mingzhong subconsciously assumed this was Tian Zhi testing the medicine with his talismanic water. At this age, talismanic water often had many imperfections, needing someone to help test it, and he was taking on that role.

From the moment Jiang Mingzhong drank the talismanic water, everything changed because he discovered its potency. With years of experience, he quickly determined that it was made with Spirit Formation Talisman!

After drinking it, Jiang Mingzhong was stunned, then looked up at Tian Zhi. Was he really only twenty-five or twenty-six? That seemed correct, he remembered asking...

Twenty-five or twenty-six could achieve Spirit Formation Talisman...

This...

Tian Zhi frowned when he saw this reaction and asked, ”Elder Jiang, is there something wrong?”

It shouldn’t be; Spirit Formation Talismans don’t require testing. This talismanic water shouldn’t have problems, unless there was an issue with the herbs he blended in.

Seeing Tian Zhi misunderstood, Jiang Mingzhong quickly waved his hand, ”No problem, no problem. I just wanted to ask, young man, how many herbs did you blend into this talismanic water?”

Tian Zhi glanced at Beisitian, feeling slightly embarrassed, and said, ”Forty-five kinds.”

He had initially failed due to greed, even causing conflicting medicinal properties. Although his mentor didn’t reproach him, he always felt she was disappointed...

At this thought, Tian Zhi couldn’t help but sigh.

Seeing this, Jiang Mingzhong’s eyelid twitched violently. What’s with your ”I’m not good” look?

Forty-five kinds of herbs, he had only accomplished it at nearly forty, and not with Spirit Formation Talisman... These are completely different levels of talisman making.

Seeing this, Beisitian naturally wouldn’t comfort Tian Zhi. Since he could achieve Spirit Formation Talisman, he had developed some restlessness, which needed some appropriate setbacks. Otherwise, forming such a mindset would greatly impact him in the future.

The group departed, taking a bus to Jinbei City, which would take four and a half hours. However, Jinbei City was close to Beijing, reminding Beisitian of an acquaintance there.

Before getting on the bus, Jiang Mingzhong glanced back one last time. His son Jiang Fei hadn’t come to see him from start to finish.

Jiang Mingzhong no longer felt that heart-wrenching pain. When his son knelt down and asked him to take care, he knew this was the end of their father-son relationship. It was understandable that he didn’t come to see him now, and if he did, Jiang Mingzhong would only sigh without any other response.

Once on the bus, Jiang Mingzhong dismissed these mixed thoughts, focusing solely on future matters.

Thinking of the future invariably brought to mind the mysterious Qingyu School.

Beisitian was younger than Jiang Mingzhong imagined. At such an age, she wasn’t even qualified to attend meetings at some of the Mystic Doctor Association’s branches.

Qingyu School was considered mysterious because it rose to fame four years ago during an exchange meeting, where Beisitian also became a Grandmaster Level figure.

Qingyu School, which was flourishing at its peak, should have continued its momentum, but surprisingly, it went quiet. For four years, there had been no news of Qingyu School participating in any activities, nor had anyone seen Beisitian, let alone anyone else from Qingyu School.

Even the young girl who drew so much attention by drinking the first talismanic water seemed to have disappeared into the crowd, never appearing in the sight of other mystic doctors again.

Qingyu School seemed like a brief, brilliant bloom, stunning but so short-lived.

Jiang Mingzhong couldn’t help but look back at the exceptionally beautiful woman sitting behind him. She sat on this long-distance bus like an ordinary person, and probably no one would guess that such a significant figure would board this bus!

Did she also come from Beijing like this? Every time Jiang Mingzhong thought of this, he found it incredible.

At this moment, he finally understood the saying, ”The greatest hermit lives in seclusion in the city.”

The long-distance bus started moving, and in almost half an hour, the smell inside became quite unbearable. Jiang Mingzhong himself didn’t mind; over the three difficult years, his pride had been worn away. Even if he returned to being a mystic doctor, he felt like he had returned to his roots.

His concern was for Beisitian.
