I Became a Medical Genius in the 80s

Chapter 803 - 802: Performing a Spiritual Talisman

The Ghost Doctor, Zou Hanqing, is separated from young people like Beisitian by at least two to three generations. Even Qin Youwei doesn’t know much about the legend of the Ghost Doctor, let alone the other members of the Qin Family.Qiao Hongjie chuckled, "It’s flattering that you still remember my master’s title. It’s a kindness from those in the circle."

Qin Weisong gazed at Qiao Hongjie, his eyes wide with disbelief, and stammered, "Are you really a descendant of the Ghost Doctor?"

Qiao Hongjie nodded, satisfied with their reaction, "The only inheritor. I’m a disappointment to my master as I still haven’t found a successor, yet I’m halfway to the grave."

Speaking of this, Qiao Hongjie became serious. Earlier on, he devoted immense spiritual power, material resources, manpower, and financial resources to interpret this Mystical Scripture left by his master, leaving him little inclination to take on disciples.

This Mystical Scripture, written early in the Ghost Doctor’s career, is said by Zou Hanqing to contain numerous vulnerabilities that one could easily get caught in, making it unsuitable for comprehensive study, yet Qiao Hongjie was deeply absorbed and couldn’t extricate himself, leading to the current predicament.

Because of this, Qiao Hongjie rarely appears in public; as the sole inheritor of the Ghost Doctor, his absence leads everyone to believe that the Ghost Doctor’s legacy is lost.

Speaking of the Ghost Doctor, one must consider it a legendary tale. Zou Hanqing caught the tail end of a 200-year historical void, renowned for his outstanding talent after the founding of the Mystic Doctor’s new era, but then a sudden depletion of spiritual power caused him to withdraw from the public eye for years. He appeared again unexpectedly one day, his achievements rapidly escalating, achieving the Spiritual Talisman under thirty, and astonishing many by fifty, becoming a legendary Mystic Doctor. Due to his ugly appearance, he was nicknamed Ghost Doctor for scaring children even in daylight!

Thinking of the Ghost Doctor, one cannot help but recall spiritual power depletion. Qin Weisong suddenly remembered that the extremely young talent sitting in front of them was renowned for curing such depletion!

How could someone like that be here just to deceive them?

No one anticipated Qiao Hongjie to be the Ghost Doctor’s descendant, not even the elders present!

Soon, they recalled the words Qiao Hongjie previously said, wanting to see if anyone under Qingyu was suitable to inherit, naturally meaning the Ghost Doctor’s legacy!

Reflecting on Qiao Hongjie’s words now, they carried a much more significant weight!

Qin Youwei never imagined such a reversal, mainly because he barely knew who the Ghost Doctor was, feeling too distant, whilst Qiao Hongjie had also left the public’s view for far too long.

Qin Youwei noticed Qin Weisong’s expression, along with the others’, and immediately sensed something amiss. Before they could speak, he loudly asked, "How can Mr. Qiao prove he is the Ghost Doctor’s heir?"

Qiao Hongjie glanced at Qin Youwei with coldness in his eyes, then revealed a tiny brush, the size of a pinky, intricately detailed.

After showing the brush to Qin Weisong, he put it away without speaking further, ignoring Qin Youwei altogether as he was an ignorant junior.

The elders, including Qin Weisong, no longer doubted upon seeing the small brush, their eyes showing reverence.

Qin Youwei’s face darkened, feeling angry with Qiao Hongjie’s indifference. Clearly, that small brush is the Ghost Doctor’s symbol, making matters increasingly difficult.

He quickly pondered his next steps.

The Great Power of the Ancient Wood School, who had been resting with closed eyes, opened them upon Qiao Hongjie’s revelation of being the Ghost Doctor’s heir and watched silently. Seeing the small brush, his expression changed.

"I never expected to see the Ghost Doctor’s pen here!" Chu Zhicheng exclaimed, his eyes gleaming.

Qiao Hongjie slightly nodded in response, causing Chu Zhicheng slight embarrassment. Understandably so, they had no interaction beforehand, especially amidst an adversarial stance now.

Of course, Chu Zhicheng wouldn’t genuinely oppose the Ghost Doctor successor; he’d merely accepted Qin Youwei’s offerings to be present, only sitting there without fuss, without offering guidance or support, simply attending was already a sizable effort.

As for the young talent from the Qingyu School, truthfully, he didn’t hold her in regard; too young and surrounded by unreliable rumors.

Had Qin Youwei previously considered counteractions, after Chu Zhicheng spoke, he was decidedly at a disadvantage. Even Chu Zhicheng affirmed Qiao Hongjie’s identity, leaving him no leeway to exploit this point!

"Huh, was this kid doubting me earlier?" Desan scratched his head and asked.

Qiao Hongjie nodded, "Indeed, he was particularly skeptical of you earlier!"

Qin Xinyu was puzzled by the certified Great Power’s air of wanting trouble, noting Qiao Hongjie’s evident aloofness towards outsiders but seemingly different before Desan and Beisitian.

Beisitian smiled lightly, "Third Doctor, your reflex arc must be incredibly long; he’s been suspicious of you for quite some time now."

Another one eager for chaos.

Desan patted his belly, "Can’t help it, I’ve been preoccupied with digestion, truly lacking the energy to handle anything else."

Beisitian and Qiao Hongjie exchanged glances, realizing that the sly old man was indeed difficult to please. They wanted to assess Desan’s strength further, but Desan was usually lazy, not to mention that he secretly asked Wei Zhongxun for a Xuan Talisman.

"I didn’t doubt at all; rather, Desan’s name is indeed unfamiliar. Who here has heard of it?" Qin Youwei remarked.

He continued his last attempt, thinking if the person was false, it would prove Beisitian’s poor character for using a fake Great Power to deceive the Qin Family. Even if with a Ghost Doctor inheritor present, they’d need to consider Beisitian’s credibility, allowing him leverage.

Desan’s name truly was unheard of, not only to Qin Weisong and others but even to Qiao Hongjie and Chu Zhicheng.

"In that case, I should perform a Spiritual Pointing Talisman demonstration," Desan said cheerfully.

Upon his words, the Qin Family’s reaction was as shocked as was the elders’, eyes wide with disbelief. Did they hear correctly—this eccentric uncle claimed he’d perform a Spiritual Talisman?

In front of so many?

Both Qiao Hongjie and Beisitian were surprised, while Chu Zhicheng raised a brow, curious about Desan’s intentions.
