I Became a Medical Genius in the 80s

Chapter 722: Chapter 721: New Member

”Brother Xun” should also be a member of the Qingyu School, Jiang Mingzhong thought to himself, secretly marveling. Many people speculate that some ancient families hide elder Mystic Doctors who can achieve Spiritual Talisman. If a family or large sect has even one such elder, it is quite remarkable.

However, the Qingyu School has two that Jiang Mingzhong knows of!

From Doctor Bei’s words, this person called ”Brother Xun” must also be able to successfully achieve Spiritual Talisman, which certainly makes it at least three!

Jiang Mingzhong couldn’t help but feel envious. It would be great if he could join the Qingyu School, but given his age and aptitude, it’s probably impossible.

Thinking about his aptitude, Jiang Mingzhong smiled wryly. When he was young, he was proud of his aptitude, never expecting that one day he would feel it was insufficient.

Thinking this way, he couldn’t help but sigh.

”Why are you sighing, Elder Jiang?” Beisitian asked.

Jiang Mingzhong did not dare to reveal his wish, quickly saying, ”Just lamenting human nature. Returning this time, I might face much disdain.”

Beisitian didn’t ponder much, ”Better than being surrounded by insincere people.”

”Doctor Bei is right. By the way, Doctor Bei, do you have any plans after meeting my old friend’s son?”

Beisitian shook his head, ”Not for now.”

Jiang Mingzhong would head to the association’s headquarters tomorrow, yet he wasn’t sure in what capacity he should go.

”Elder Jiang, do you have any plans for tomorrow?” Beisitian asked.

Jiang Mingzhong pondered for a moment and said, ”Tomorrow I intend to visit the headquarters to find a few acquaintances. If there’s still some connection, I’ll ask for help to expose Guan Tongshan.”

Beisitian and Tian Zhi exchanged glances. This method was truly straightforward and simple. Clearly, Jiang Mingzhong did not have a solid plan.

After all, having been abandoned by his son, nearly drowning himself, and then revitalizing his spirit, these incidents, whether good or bad, were quite stimulating. Once rejuvenated, they immediately came to Jinbei City, leaving no time to ponder these matters.

”I have a suggestion that Elder Jiang might consider,” Beisitian said with a smile.

”Doctor Bei, please share,” Jiang Mingzhong quickly responded.

”I heard there’s an event called Sparring at the banquet; Elder Jiang could participate.”

Jiang Mingzhong immediately understood Beisitian’s intent. At this banquet, one could discern people’s hearts and also publicly make a comeback. Although he wasn’t the best, with his current strength and experience, the typical youngsters were not his match.

Moreover, he felt his spirit was even greater than before. If he participated, he might even secure a place.

However...

Jiang Mingzhong shook his head, ”Doctor Bei may not know, Sparring requires representatives from families or schools...”

In essence, personal entries aren’t allowed; it’s specifically designed as a platform for families or schools to exchange and share.

Individuals hold less value to the association compared to families or schools.

”Actually, Qingyu intends to participate in this Sparring,” Beisitian said, looking at Jiang Mingzhong.

Meeting Beisitian’s gaze, Jiang Mingzhong’s heart suddenly raced. He wasn’t sure why, but why would Doctor Bei say this? Surely not...

”Would Elder Jiang be interested in representing Qingyu in Sparring?” Beisitian asked with a smile.

Jiang Mingzhong’s mouth dropped open, heart racing again, as if it might leap out of his chest.

Doctor Bei’s meaning...

Jiang Mingzhong was somewhat incredulous.

”Are you saying... I can...”

Beisitian’s smile deepened, ”Would Elder Jiang like to participate in Sparring as a Mystic Doctor for the Qingyu School?”

Jiang Mingzhong abruptly stood up, looking at Beisitian in disbelief, ”You... you mean it?”

Seeing this, Beisitian knew Jiang Mingzhong was willing to join, becoming even more sincere, ”I mean it.”

”I’m willing! I’m more than willing!” Jiang Mingzhong laughed heartily.

Jiang Xin watched his foster father smile like a fool, not entirely understanding, but he sensed his foster father’s joy.

Sects don’t differentiate by surname unlike family systems, so when Jiang Mingzhong joined, he became an official member. In a family system, he could only become an external or specially-appointed Mystic Doctor.

Having a sect meant having belonging. Jiang Mingzhong was no longer a wandering Mystic Doctor, especially since he joined the mysterious Qingyu sect that rose to fame four years ago!

After the meal, it was completely dark outside. Though they traveled for most of the day, none of them felt tired, especially Jiang Mingzhong and Jiang Xin—one was excited to learn that wondrous skill, and the other to join Qingyu.

Since they were now family, under Beisitian’s instruction, Tian Zhi explained Qingyu’s situation to Jiang Mingzhong. However, matters concerning Beisitian and Bei Jiale were kept secret due to Jiang Mingzhong’s short time among them and the gravity of the matter.

When Jiang Mingzhong learned that the Qingyu School had only four members, he was equally surprised. The Qingyu School, rumored to be mysterious by outsiders, had only four people.

So it included Beisitian and Tian Zhi in front of him, the ”Brother Xun,” and the previously noted Little Yu Zhu who drank the First Xuan Talisman.

Thinking of these four, Jiang Mingzhong fell silent. Except for Little Yu Zhu still being young, the remaining three had two who achieved Spiritual Talisman, and the last seemed close to it.

This meant that Jiang Mingzhong was, in fact, the weakest link in Qingyu... Realizing this, Jiang Mingzhong felt somewhat disheartened.

”Doctor Bei, given my strength, how did you think to let me join?” Jiang Mingzhong asked with a bitter smile, knowing he wouldn’t rest easy without finding out.

”Elder Jiang is experienced in the association; we need someone like you to join us there,” Beisitian replied frankly.

Hearing this answer, Jiang Mingzhong felt mildly disappointed, but then he realized his aptitude was indeed ordinary compared to the four and he was older. Aside from experience, there wasn’t much else Beisitian could value.

Thinking this way, Jiang Mingzhong perked up again. Yes, luckily, he wanted to meet Beisitian. If Beisitian sought someone else, he wouldn’t have any chance, as there were others more experienced. This meant Beisitian trusted him!

Jiang Mingzhong felt that perhaps he could establish himself in Qingyu in this aspect, not wanting to join such a formidable sect yet remain useless as a burden.

”I understand now; I will not let Doctor Bei down nor be a burden to Qingyu!” Jiang Mingzhong said seriously.

Beisitian smiled, ”Then, after this banquet, if Elder Jiang has no other plans, please accompany me back to Beijing.”
