I Became a Medical Genius in the 80s

Chapter 743: Chapter 742: High Level

This kind of conditioning Xuan Talisman isn’t difficult to make, regulating menstruation and promoting blood circulation is not a major issue, but integrating fifty-five kinds of Chinese herbs is the challenge, as many herbs have similar effects, and if you force them together, it might not be impossible, but the efficacy is almost below fifty percent.

For symptoms like this, there is simply no need for so many Chinese herbs.

When Jiang Mingzhong heard the topic, he began to ponder. Such ailments aren’t serious, and integrating so many herbs is pure waste. The permanent members of the Association are definitely Mystic Doctors, they can’t possibly not understand this principle.

Seeing this kind of topic, it’s certainly to test the ability to match herbs!

These symptoms mostly appear in women, most often in married women. Some women suffer bodily damage after childbirth, and in some severe cases, it hurts their vitality, which cannot be restored by just consuming supplements. Many people cannot be supplemented due to their weakness.

The reason this kind of conditioning Xuan Talisman needs to incorporate a suitable amount of herbs is precisely to prevent such situations, and of course, it also relates to resource wastage.

Since fifty-five kinds of herbs need to be incorporated, this issue must be considered, and perhaps this is the crux of the matter.

Many didn’t rush to start after hearing the topic, they were all contemplating the purpose of this question. Understanding this purpose is essential to know how to ’answer’.

Jiang Mingzhong wasn’t attending the banquet for the first time and was quite adept at analyzing these sorts of things. It was just a matter of speculating about the questioner’s thoughts at that time.

Once he mostly guessed the purpose, Jiang Mingzhong began to prepare for talisman making.

Thirty-seven people were divided into two groups and given concealed rooms, free from cameras or other influence devices, allowing them to make talismans in a highly confidential space.

As usual, Jiang Mingzhong, out of caution, inspected the room before starting to make talismans.

After about half an hour, both batches came out, with a few others gradually emerging from the rooms as well.

The rooms were specially prepared for talisman making, so apart from a table and a chair, everything else had been removed.

Before entering the room, talisman powder needed to be scattered to verify if there were any extra items on them, such as pre-prepared talisman powder.

This process was similar to the exchange meeting and significantly reduced the chance of cheating. Many wouldn’t dare take the risk of cheating, as being caught leads to severe consequences, unlike exams.

Thirty-seven bags of talisman powder were placed on a wooden long table, each at a distance of one meter from the next, preventing any likelihood of favoritism by the permanent committee members under everyone’s scrutiny.

Jiang Mingzhong used to think this was unnecessary, wondering who would do such disgraceful things, but after going through so much, he knew some people would put aside their dignity and principles for it.

So now, he felt that stricter regulations were better, lest Guan Tongshan cause him trouble here.

Guan Tongshan continued as if he hadn’t seen him, examining the contestants’ works with other judges, and whether intentionally or accidentally, he did not examine Jiang Mingzhong’s work, even though by normal sequence he should have.

Jiang Mingzhong was on high alert, knowing Guan Tongshan was planning something big!

With a solid foundation already, Jiang Mingzhong had figured out the purpose of the question, so passing the first challenge wasn’t a problem. He incorporated fifty-eight kinds of herbs and achieved a seventy-five percent efficacy, passing smoothly.

Out of thirty-seven people, only seventeen passed, leaving the remaining twenty eliminated.

Even if over twenty people felt upset inside, they didn’t show it on their faces, not wanting to become a laughingstock. At least if they lost, they wanted to lose gracefully, showing they could handle it.

Passing the first round smoothly, the second round’s question was opened by another permanent committee member, presented in front of everyone, and then read out loud.

The second challenge was to make a Xuan Talisman for treating external injuries, aimed at reducing scars, requiring the integration of sixty-seven kinds of herbs with a seventy-five percent herb efficacy!

Even though the efficacy percentage only increased by five points, these five percent weren’t so simple. The more the herbs, the lower the achieved efficacy percentage usually is, as they are typically inversely related, though Mystic Doctors constantly work towards overcoming this issue.

This wasn’t a tough question, just a matter of creating a scar-free external injury medicine.

The topic indicated two points: one was rapid recovery and healing, and the other was minimizing scarring.

The question wasn’t hard, but the challenge remained in the number of herbs used and the efficacy percentage.

Integrating the number of herbs was relatively easy for Jiang Mingzhong, but to stand out in the contest, he decided to ponder over it thoroughly.

The areas to focus on include the speed of healing and the effect on diminishing scars.

Now, with increased acceptance of Western medicine, surgeries are more common, leaving many with scars.

Beisitian, sitting below, subconsciously touched her abdomen on hearing this topic. There used to be a scar and a lot of stretch marks, but now she no longer has those, and her abdominal skin is as taut as a young girl’s.

The greatest credit for this goes to Bei Jiale, who prepared the healing medicine for her after a C-section when she couldn’t make talismans, especially after anesthesia had a significant impact on her spirit.

The medication to boost wound healing was provided by Bei Jiale, and the same for diminishing the scar; the drugs were administered at the golden time, so Beisitian didn’t retain any frightful scars. Instead, her abdominal skin regained its tautness with her maintenance afterward.

All seventeen could make talismans in one go, significantly shortening the time, and after about twenty minutes, all the Mystic Doctors had placed their works on the table.

Jiang Mingzhong was somewhat distracted, was that just his illusion? Did he sense the medicine powder pause while stepping over it before entering the room, suggesting that if he wanted to cheat, bringing talisman powder inside was possible.

It’s impossible that Guan Tongshan didn’t know of his presence, or offer him such a convenient path, so was this a pit dug by Guan Tongshan?

Thinking this, Jiang Mingzhong hadn’t moved in any way, so even if the other side dug a pit, he wouldn’t unknowingly fall into it.

Just as the thought settled in his mind, Guan Tongshan stood before him, this time to inspect his talisman powder.

Jiang Mingzhong squinted at his old adversary standing right in front of him, suppressing the urge to kick him away, staring intently without showing any emotion.

”The level of this talisman powder is truly high!” Guan Tongshan exclaimed, full of admiration for Jiang Mingzhong’s talisman powder.
