I Became a Medical Genius in the 80s

Chapter 965: Chapter 964: Knows the Trade Pretty Well

Luo Yirui and Jing Changle still had quite a bit of money on them, more than enough until they returned to Beijing, so he wasn’t truly thinking of following Yu Junpei inside for food.

He could tell that Yu Junpei was a Mystic Doctor. This trip was either to treat someone or attend a gathering. He had heard from his mother that Mystic Doctors in each region keep in touch with each other, and some places even hold regular gatherings and meetings to exchange needed herbal medicine, Xuan Talisman, and information.

From the way that old man was asking for directions, it seemed likely there was a Mystic Doctor gathering nearby. If there really was one, he might be able to gather some information.

Although still young, he was after all a Mystic Doctor himself and perhaps among Mystic Doctors, he might find his place.

However, Luo Yirui wouldn’t foolishly expose his identity as a Mystic Doctor before knowing the situation. Currently, there was only one known young Mystic Doctor, so if his identity were recognized, it would certainly bring a lot of trouble and potentially more attention on him, making it hard to return home!

An untimely death? How terrifying, he still wanted to grow up!

Jing Changle shared quite a mutual understanding with Luo Yirui, so he wasn’t surprised by his actions. Even if he didn’t understand at the moment, Luo Yirui would explain later, but Hao Rong was different.

Having long been accustomed to being a young master, Hao Rong suddenly found himself in dire straits and couldn’t adapt to his situation. He still saw himself as above others, so he looked down on Luo Yirui’s seemingly beggarly behavior and considered it disgraceful.

Moreover, this old man looked obviously poor, what era is this, still wearing cloth shoes?!

Hao Rong felt very displeased inside, but he still relied on Luo Yirui, so he dared not say much, and silently followed behind with a sullen face, glancing at the young lady at the entrance as they entered.

So beautiful!

The girl at the entrance could sense something strange; the three children each seemed unique. Two were dressed in very shabby, worn clothes, while the other looked quite fancy but with signs of having been in a fight.

But the girl didn’t ask much. No matter how extraordinary these three children were, they couldn’t stir much trouble here.

From the outside, it looked like a small courtyard with nothing special, but once inside, it revealed an unexpected world. It resembled a grand mansion; after walking down the stone path from the outer courtyard, passing through an archway, it opened up before them.

With rock gardens and flowing water, small courtyards and pavilions, there were even servants bustling around with trays of drinks and fruits, delivering them to the Eight Immortals tables by the rock gardens.

Luo Yirui and his companions almost thought they had traveled back in time.

Yu Junpei called over the three dumbfounded youngsters, smiling at their expressions.

Luo Yirui and his companions quickened their steps, continuing to follow Wu Yuekai closely. With a keen eye, Luo Yirui could tell that all those Eight Immortals tables and chairs were highly valuable, and even the fruits weren’t ordinary.

He saw the plates and jars with the Heavenly Blessing logo, and just from asking around, he knew that each culinary and medicinal dish was priced at around a thousand each. Heavenly Blessing was now a big brand, and the prices certainly reflected that.

Looking at these people, they were all dressed quite plainly in cloth clothes and shoes, their attire even humbler than the servants’, but Luo Yirui dared not underestimate a single one.

Everyone here was a Mystic Doctor!

As Yu Junpei arrived, two elderly men of similar age welcomed him. What amused Luo Yirui was that one even had a goatee, while the other had the rounded spectacles typically associated with a bookkeeper. Add a counting frame and it would be perfect.

”Yu, you’re late again. Lost your way again?” the elder with a goatee laughed.

Yu Junpei smiled wryly, ”Every time the gathering place changes, it really troubles an old man like me!”

The other elder with round glasses chuckled, ”Only women get lost. You’re even worse than them!”

Yu Junpei retorted with a laugh, ”You’re just a chatterbox. We haven’t seen each other in half a year, and you’re already teasing me.”

The three elders chatted and laughed as they headed to the dining area. After a few steps, Yu Junpei suddenly remembered something and turned to wave at Luo Yirui and the others, ”Come on over, there’s plenty of good food there. Tell them I brought you, and eat whatever you like.”

Luo Yirui hurriedly followed behind.

The courtyard was huge, with tables scattered around a dozen or so areas rather than gathered together, surrounding the rock gardens and flowing water with laughter and chatter, enjoying their food and drink.

”Are these your newly taken disciples?” the elder with a goatee joked.

He could tell these three kids weren’t Yu’s disciples, probably picked up on the road.

Jing Changle tilted his head, looking at the wine jar on the table, noticing a small ’Bei’ character etched on it, followed by the elegant, flourishing characters ’Heavenly Blessing’.

Hao Rong’s voice came from the side, ”You haven’t seen this before, have you? This is Heavenly Blessing’s medicinal wine, preserving its fragrance and medicinal properties. The wine itself is very mellow and has great benefits for the body. When I say benefits, I mean real benefits, unlike those marketed claims where you see effects only after a lifetime.”

Hao Rong boasted knowledgably to Jing Changle and Luo Yirui.

Jing Changle looked puzzled and glanced at Luo Yirui, who nodded slightly, giving him a clue.

After being rescued that time, he went to Beijing with Luo Yirui’s mother and saw similar wine jars at their home without the ’Heavenly Blessing’ characters, but with a clear ’Bei’ character.

At that time, Luo Yirui’s grandmother said it was home-brewed for family use only.

So, Heavenly Blessing belonged to Luo Yirui’s family. Once confirmed by Luo Yirui, Jing Changle looked at Hao Rong with a peculiar expression.

Hao Rong continued proudly, ”Do you know how much this jar of wine costs? At the cheapest, it’s over three thousand, and depending on its effects, the price varies well. It can reach tens of thousands easily!”

”Young man, you seem to know your stuff!”

Just as Hao Rong wore a proud and puzzled expression, a voice sounded from behind them.

They turned to see a young man in his twenties standing there, holding a small cup, sipping lightly.

Complimented, Hao Rong immediately showed a smug expression. The young man looked at the wine and said, ”This wine jar costs 8888 yuan, a very auspicious number, right? Although it’s not considered Heavenly Blessing’s premium, it’s above average. One drink and you feel a noticeable change in your body!”
