I Became a Medical Genius in the 80s

Chapter 371: Chapter 370: Gifted

Beisitian was writing intently, and Tian Zhi was completely absorbed in watching, as the room stayed quiet and harmonious.

When Tian Heming walked in, this was the scene he saw, and he couldn’t help but smile.

Beisitian finished the last stroke, looked up at Tian Zhi, then turned to Tian Heming and called out, ”Grandpa.”

Tian Heming had seen Beisitian’s calligraphy at that party, and he felt inferior!

”Beibei, even Grandpa has to admire you. I really don’t know how you’ve practiced. Your calligraphy has such a profound aesthetic. Grandpa can’t compare at all!”

Tian Zhi had thought this before, but hearing his grandpa admit it was another thing. He never imagined that this cousin wasn’t just beautiful, or merely skilled in traditional medicine, but was also an impressive calligrapher!

To have even Grandpa’s admiration, calling her a calligrapher is not an overstatement.

Tian Zhi’s gaze towards Beisitian changed somewhat. This cousin’s background was clear, so why did she seem so mysterious to him?

Beisitian knew Tian Heming had brought back news, so she put down her brush. Tian Heming said to Tian Zhi, ”You go ahead for now. I’ll call you in a bit.”

Tian Zhi nodded, gave Beisitian a glance, and turned to leave.

Tian Heming sat down and said, ”Dean Du said there’s no issue with Mei Siyuan. They’ve known each other for over twenty years, and if you don’t want to meet, he will find a way to send Mei Siyuan away.”

Beisitian nodded, thinking that while they might dismiss Mei Siyuan once, it wouldn’t work twice. So, it’s better to face it openly.

”Grandpa, arrange a time for us to meet,” Beisitian nodded.

Seeing her decision, Tian Heming immediately said, ”Alright, Dean Du said you can meet any time. If you have time, we can arrange it for the afternoon.”

The urgency mainly stemmed from Zhou Biwu’s deteriorating health.

Beisitian agreed, and Tian Heming went off to contact Du Kai Bo.

Old Five, Tian Qingyao, also came along. With Old One, Tian Qinghui, attending today, he could take a day off. Once the old man left, he hurried to get Tian Zhi.

Tian Zhi felt rather helpless. Although he’d like to have some conversations with his cousin, his father’s actions left him speechless, as if approaching his cousin with an agenda, making him uncomfortable.

For this, Beisitian wasn’t very concerned. Sometimes, approaching with a purpose depends on the purpose itself. If it’s calculative, it’s not acceptable, but Tian Qingyao and the others wanted the Tian Family to succeed, perhaps producing a Mystic Doctor.

This aligned with Beisitian’s thoughts, so she didn’t mind.

When Tian Heming had just stepped out, he saw Tian Zhi coming back with a helpless expression, and couldn’t help but laugh.

”Cousin, you know...,” Tian Zhi shrugged. The elders’ intentions were so obvious, but hopefully, this cousin wouldn’t hold it against the Tian Family.

However, seeing Beisitian’s demeanor, he probably overthought it.

”Come inside, it’s chilly outside. Have you taken the last dose today?” Beisitian warmly invited him in.

Upon hearing this, Tian Zhi’s interest piqued, and he quickly nodded, sat down, and said, ”Cousin, how exactly is the talismanic water made? I feel like there’s a change. It must have herbal ingredients, but I can’t taste what it is.”

Beisitian was surprised, ”You can tell there are herbal ingredients?”

Tian Zhi scratched his head, ”It might be a feeling. My tongue senses nothing, but there’s still a feeling.”

The more he spoke, the more unsure he became, getting himself confused.

Beisitian chuckled. This cousin was more gifted than she imagined. After just three doses, he could sense the presence of herbs.

Talismanic water isn’t about tasting herbal ingredients; it’s about feeling, which requires spirit. That’s why spirit requirements are so high.

Beisitian thought for a moment, then took out three small jars, pushed them to Tian Zhi, ”Drink these three bottles in three intervals, then tell me your feeling.”

Tian Zhi quickly nodded. Despite being colorless and tasteless, he felt it was addictive, especially that feeling he really, really wanted to pinpoint!

Even though Tian Zhi still didn’t quite understand what the talismanic water was, he knew it was something good.

”Hey cousin, can I give one bottle to my dad? It seems he hasn’t tried it,” Tian Zhi asked awkwardly.

That day he returned, Tian Qingyao took the talismanic water from Shao Jia Min’s hands, poured it in a bowl, and examined it for a long time, tasted it with chopsticks several times, shaking and nodding along, no one knows what for.

But he could see his dad valued this talismanic water, evident from him saving the last for Shao Jia Min.

Beisitian thought it something else, laughed, and took out another bottle from her bag, ”Give this to Uncle Five, I must have missed him.”

Upon hearing this, Tian Zhi was overjoyed and quickly put it away. Truth be told, three small jars weren’t enough for him. He knew it would take at least ten to twenty bottles to figure out what that feeling was.

”Cousin, how exactly is this talismanic water made?” Tian Zhi asked again.

Beisitian didn’t answer directly but said, ”That’s a secret. When you become my apprentice, I’ll teach you.”

Tian Zhi smiled wryly. It wasn’t that he couldn’t become an apprentice, just initially dissatisfied with being forced. But Beisitian never insisted on taking him as an apprentice, so even if he agreed now, she’d still assess him.

He didn’t even know what Beisitian was assessing him on.

Beisitian could easily see Tian Zhi’s reluctance. She wouldn’t force an apprenticeship, let alone promise it without considering his performance.

After chatting for a while, they grew closer. Tian Zhi wasn’t a reserved person, and they got along well. By the time they left the room, Tian Zhi was no longer restrained and felt more connected with Beisitian.

Soon, Tian Heming informed Beisitian the meeting was set for the afternoon, and he’d take her there. Officially, nothing would be explained.

However, Tian Heming told Beisitian that a Mystic Doctor named Wei Zhongxun would also be there, from the Right sect Wei Family, apparently a successor.

”Dean Du suggested finding a way to keep Wei Zhongxun occupied, and use that time for the meeting,” Tian Heming said.

Beisitian nodded, genuinely uninterested in dealing with the Left and Right Sects, finding it bothersome.

Tian Zhi found it a bit boring. Although he had many siblings, there were few he clicked with. Beisitian, however, was someone he could converse with, and he wanted to go along, but since it involved a retirement home, he wasn’t eligible to enter.
