Chapter 463 - 462: The Gift You’re Interested In
Wei Zhongxun faced Beisitian, who was dressed in a simple yet elegant long dress, and suddenly felt a bit dazed. He recalled the first time he saw her — it was one evening when he was almost robbed, and it was Beisitian and her husband who saved him.They helped him out of the predicament, yet he tricked the couple into letting him stay for a night, including two meals. Without those meals, he would have gone hungry before finding the rehab center.
A dignified Mystic Doctor going hungry — if the old man knew, he’d probably break his legs...
Now, the woman he once regarded as an ordinary person had become his master!
The world is ever-changing, and no one knows what will happen next.
Wei Zhongxun was filled with emotion, as was Tian Zhi. When his cousin first arrived at the Tian Family, many thought she was a poor relative coming to seek support. Unexpectedly, she became the biggest backing for the Tian Family!
One wonders what kind of expression his fourth uncle’s family would have if they knew.
"Bow to your master!" Du Kai Bo’s voice rang out.
Both of them, filled with emotion, slowly knelt down, touched their foreheads to the ground, kowtowed three times, then looked up to see Beisitian holding a small porcelain bottle in front of Tian Zhi.
This small porcelain bottle was specially designed. Dong Fengzhen had contacted a ceramist from Shanxi to design this small bottle. It had a small mouth, a big belly, and a longer neck. The white, smooth porcelain was adorned with blue auspicious clouds, appearing discreet yet elegant.
Upon seeing the small porcelain bottle, Beisitian immediately liked it. Dong Fengzhen gave her the contact information of the ceramics factory and suggested that if she wished, they could sign a one-year contract to supply as much as needed within that year.
Thus, Beisitian now used these fine porcelain small bottles.
What drew everyone’s attention was not the small porcelain bottle itself, but what it contained. This was the apprentice ceremony of the Mystic Doctor, so naturally, it contained talismanic water!
This apprentice ceremony was extremely important to the Mystic Doctor. Their inheritors usually came from among these disciples, and the talismanic water given at the apprentice ceremony was certainly no ordinary talismanic water!
The left and right factions knew this even more clearly. Wei Yuanqing and Tao Hailin both focused on the small porcelain bottle, eager to see what was inside!
"The bond between you and me as master and disciple begins at this moment. This is the gift from your master. I hope you will uphold the right path, save lives, and never forget your original intention as you tread the long road ahead!" Beisitian said solemnly.
Tian Zhi solemnly and respectfully received the small porcelain bottle, saying respectfully: "I will heed your teachings!"
Then, under the expectant gazes of everyone and with the encouragement from Beisitian’s eyes, Tian Zhi opened the small porcelain bottle and drank the talismanic water within.
If Tian Zhi had felt something when drinking talismanic water before, now he felt something quite extraordinary, an indescribable sensation.
If spirit is like a half-filled cup of water, then after drinking this talismanic water, he felt that his spirit was now filled!
This feeling was very wonderful. Tian Zhi felt an extreme comfort throughout his entire body!
Seeing Tian Zhi drink, Beisitian walked over to Wei Zhongxun and said the same words, handing him an identical small porcelain bottle.
Wei Zhongxun respectfully took the small porcelain bottle, his expression solemn and serious, "I will heed your teachings!" He then drank the talismanic water.
Though Tian Zhi, not being a Mystic Doctor, could at most sense some superficial changes, Wei Zhongxun, having been a Mystic Doctor for many years and having drunk much talismanic water, understood its mysteries well.
Precisely because of his extensive knowledge, he recognized how precious the talismanic water he just drank was!
This talismanic water greatly supplemented his spirit. Depending solely on his own efforts, perhaps it would take seven or eight years to fully complete, moving towards the Spiritual Pointing Success Talisman. But after drinking this talismanic water, if he sufficiently rested and nourished his spirit in the next two days, his spirit would surpass that of his cousin Wei Zhongyuan, known as a prodigy, and he could directly advance to the Spiritual Pointing Success Talisman!
When Tian Zhi drank the talismanic water, his face was full of confusion and bewilderment, not knowing where the changes in his body were taking place, but Wei Zhongxun was aware.
Thus, initially, people saw his face in a daze, then in shock, and shortly after, overflowing with joy!
Wei Yuanqing and Tao Hailin were both itching with curiosity. They wanted to know what Beisitian had given them to drink and what effects it could achieve!
Wei Yuanqing had some hope that after the ceremony ended, he could ask Wei Zhongxun, but Tao Hailin was unfortunate. He had no one to ask, and it stifled him not to know, causing him distress!
The apprenticeship ceremony was not lengthy, and once concluded, it was also time for dining. The inner courtyard already had a banquet waiting for everyone to be seated.
Since those present were either from the Mystic Doctor faction or military leaders, there was no distinction of primary or secondary tables. Nonetheless, Bei Sitian’s table subtly served as the main one.
Wu Yuekai and the Wei Family were naturally to sit at the same table with her, while to maintain the non-hierarchical stance, the second eldest of the Tian Family sat at the second table.
Beisitian showed no airs and moved around each table, with Wei Zhongxun and Tian Zhi following behind her, manifesting utmost regard for their master.
Each table had only a few people seated. Those like Tian Jun didn’t have the qualifications to sit at the table and didn’t plan to eat at the moment. They need to serve the guests well before they can eat in peace after the guests have left.
The Tian Family prepared the dishes with great care. Since all present were important figures, they deserved quality food unlike the ordinary folks who lack nutritious meals. Therefore, they ensured a balance of meat and vegetables, including their specialty medicinal dishes, which pleasantly surprised everyone.
As a result, whether military generals or Mystic Doctors, they ate with great satisfaction and admiration. Even the rather picky Tao Hailin was quietly very pleased.
His eldest disciple, Li Zhengjun, sat dutifully beside his master, frequently glancing at Beisitian — the one his master spoke of, seemingly too young.
Out of politeness, Beisitian went around to toast the guests. Those present were either friends or crucial allies, so she naturally did not show any neglect.
When she approached Zhou Biwu, Zhou stood up politely like everyone else.
"Thank you, General Zhou, for your presence; Sitiang toasts a glass to you," Beisitian said with a smile.
She used small cups, and the liquor inside wasn’t very strong.
Zhou Biwu took the wine cup and drank it in one go, then said, "I apologize for my previous judgment; it was my misunderstanding, and I must also thank you for saving my life!"
Without Beisitian, Zhou Biwu would have struggled with the illness for two years and ultimately would have succumbed. Indeed, Beisitian was his savior!
These words left Beisitian taken aback, especially the earlier part which stirred an inexplicable excitement within her.
Zhou Biwu actually admitted that he had misjudged her!
