I Became a Medical Genius in the 80s

Chapter 387 - 386

Tian Heming quickly brought over the whole ginseng root.Beisitian deftly took a few of the wispy strands from the top and handed the ginseng back to Tian Heming.

As Tian Heming was leaving, Beisitian smiled and said, "Grandpa, save some lunch for me."

Upon hearing this, Tian Heming was overjoyed, as this indicated she was confident. He quickly agreed, and planned to have his wife personally cook some delicious dishes to replenish everyone’s spirits.

Usually, there are younger family members visiting this side of the house, like Tian Jun who comes daily. Besides, Tian Ying also comes by every day when she has time. The others would visit once every few days, so lunch is generally prepared.

Today, Tian Ying isn’t eating here, but Tian Zhi is staying for lunch.

Because Tian Zhi studies traditional Chinese medicine, he naturally endears himself to the elder Tian couple. However, despite their fondness, they’ve never invited him to dine in the inner courtyard, but today is an exception as he is invited to dine there.

The hall only includes the elder couple and Tian Zhi, with the dishes yet to be served, suggesting someone is expected. Tian Zhi suspects they are waiting for his cousin.

The door was not closed but covered with thick curtains. However, through the four-panel glass window, one could see the room where Beisitian was, and the moment the door opened, the elder Tian couple immediately stood up to welcome her out.

Tian Zhi stood up as well; he vaguely knew his cousin was making some kind of miraculous talismanic water. After drinking it a second time, he felt a more pronounced sensation from it, though still unable to articulate it.

He knew there were things he wasn’t meant to know, but driven by curiosity he couldn’t resist. He lifted the curtain and stepped out, standing on the steps watching the joyous expressions on his grandparents’ faces, which prompted him to swiftly follow down the corridor.

When he arrived, he could hear his grandfather continuously thanking the heavens, saying they had sent the Tian Family a savior and that rescue was finally here!

Tian Zhi, upon thinking a bit, made his guess. The Tian Family’s only political task was to treat General Zhou, which wasn’t a secret. So he thought the only thing that could make his grandparents joyfully tear up must be this!

Tian Zhi was somewhat shocked. If his cousin could really heal General Zhou, wouldn’t that mean she is more skilled in medicine than his grandparents or even his uncle?

Tian Zhi originally assumed she was only slightly better than him, possessing methods others wouldn’t know.

Beisitian’s smile was serene and tranquil, void of much excitement, forming a stark contrast with her joyous grandparents. As if sensing his gaze, she turned her eyes toward him.

Tian Zhi blushed, realizing although he wasn’t eavesdropping, he probably wasn’t meant to know these things. His grandparents hadn’t noticed as they were facing away, but his cousin did.

Tian Zhi intended to hurry back when unexpectedly his grandparents pulled his cousin beside them inviting her to lunch together, stating they were awaiting her.

It turned out that lunch hadn’t been served because they were waiting for her!

He was astonished by the position she held in his grandparents’ hearts. Not only could she dine in the inner yard, but his grandparents also waited for her, an honor that neither his uncle nor his brother had.

His grandparents acted as if they hadn’t noticed him and bore all the joyous expressions they could muster, obliging him to turn back and follow them inside.

Just as they were seated, he saw the maids bringing in dish after dish.

"Beibei, we’ll send this medicine over tomorrow," Tian Heming said still overwhelmed, his voice different from usual.

Dong Fengzhen couldn’t hold back her smile, "We thought it was a catastrophe for the Tian Family, who knew there’d be danger but no harm, turning peril into safety, and we found our dear granddaughter, who turns out to be a Mystic Doctor!"

Tian Heming hurriedly glanced at her, then peeked outside.

Dong Fengzhen said with a smile, "Don’t worry, I’ve instructed everyone not to linger after serving the dishes, they’re all in the outer yard!"

Tian Heming’s expression improved, assured by Dong Fengzhen’s strict management of the household means no one dared linger.

"But you mentioned it wrong, our Tian Family avoided catastrophe all because we found our dear granddaughter!"

This confirmed Tian Zhi’s assumptions further, leaving him utterly shaken: could his cousin really cure General Zhou?

From the looks of it, she had complete assurance!

Tian Zhi’s mind grappled with various thoughts; he was incredibly eager to learn about them. He even wondered that, if he’d been made his cousin’s apprentice, might he have also become a Mystic Doctor?!

Given the outcome, the mood of Tian Heming and Dong was buoyant, prompting them to eat much more, noticing Beisitian’s tired state, they naturally recommended she rest afterward.

Beisitian didn’t decline and prepared to sleep.

After eating, Tian Zhi showed no intention of leaving. Despite scouring ancient texts and visiting the library twice without finding any record of Mystic Doctors, today’s experience leaves him restless.

"Grandpa, what exactly are Mystic Doctors?" Tian Zhi asked bluntly.

Normally, Tian Heming would advise focusing on studies, promising to reveal everything to Tian Zhi as he grew older.

This time, however, Tian Heming remained silent for a long while.

Dong Fengzhen took a sip of water, "Since Beibei mentioned he has the potential, we should inform him."

Tian Zhi looked at his grandmother puzzled, potential?

Eventually, Tian Heming exhaled slowly, "Alright, perhaps telling you might be more beneficial than harmful."

He worried that knowing this might make Tian Zhi overly prideful, leading to his talents dulling in an environment falsely lauding a genius—a scenario he hoped the Tian Family wouldn’t encounter.

"In the medical world, there exists a group of unique individuals..." Tian Heming began explaining what he knew, mostly regarding the roles and influence of Mystic Doctors, but he had limited understanding of the miraculous talismanic water, precluding further remarks.

The more Tian Zhi listened, the more astonished he felt, having initially viewed Mystic Doctors akin to traditional or western medicine, realizing that understanding was completely erroneous.

"Why can’t I find any information?" Tian Zhi’s eyes widened.

Tian Heming chuckled and shook his head, "The identity of Mystic Doctors is confidentially handled by the state. Anyone caught propagating it privately risks imprisonment!"

Imprisonment is only contingent on the severity of matters. Severe cases wouldn’t merely result in imprisonment.

Tian Zhi clicked his tongue, shocked at the stature of Mystic Doctors!

Beisitian’s serene and gentle figure emerged in his mind, her bright eyes ever enigmatic and now all the more vast.
