"Is Brother Shen angry with her?" Tian Lei remembered Beisitian’s warning, but upon seeing her, he couldn’t help but speak his mind. "No, she already gave you medicine," Shen Junping said with a smile, "Alright, get some rest. I’ve already asked Taotao to prepare dinner for you. Just tell Taotao what you want to eat." Tian Lei was still puzzled. Shen Junping had already left; he had other matters to attend to and couldn’t stay to take care of Tian Lei. Tian Lei recalled that glass of clear water. Could it really be medicine? He would know if it was by tomorrow. Without worrying, he relaxed. Although he couldn’t go out, he was being looked after with three meals a day, so life was quite pleasant. When Beisitian came the next day, Tian Lei was still sound asleep, and she had to wake him up. "Xiao Bei, you’re here!" Tian Lei was very happy to see Beisitian. Beisitian handed over the talismanic water, "Drink it." Tian Lei stared at the talismanic water in a daze, only raising his head in surprise after a long moment, "Is this really the medicine you made? I thought you were teasing me!" Who’s in the mood to tease you... "Is this medicine traditional Chinese medicine?" For a brief moment, Tian Lei thought it resembled something poured from an IV bottle. "You could call it traditional Chinese medicine. Most of the ingredients are those herbs your brother provided," Beisitian explained. "Then... how did you make it colorless and tasteless?" Tian Lei was astounded. "Didn’t you say it was very sweet?" Beisitian teased, looking at him. Tian Lei chuckled sheepishly. In the end, Beisitian didn’t explain much to him, nor could she. Different fields have their barriers. The day after Tian Lei finished drinking it, he stopped coughing. After three days, by the afternoon, Shen Junping performed another sputum smear test on him, and no tuberculosis bacteria were found. This meant Tian Lei was cured! Though Shen Junping expected it, he was still shocked upon seeing the test report in his hand. Recovering from tuberculosis typically takes three to six months. Beisitian managed it in three days? Is this truly the magic of traditional Chinese medicine? Beisitian was noncommittal. Without Dendrobium, curing Tian Lei wasn’t impossible, but it would take several times more time and effort. So, curing him in such a short period, crediting the herbal medicine wasn’t exaggeration! With Tian Lei’s tuberculosis cured, others in the office were also visibly shocked. Since when could Chinese medicine take effect so quickly! The evidence was undeniable. Even if they wanted to deny it, there was no way. Any lingering doubts had to be swallowed amidst Beisitian’s calm and composed gaze. Ding Sisi was quite upset. How did someone trained in Chinese medicine achieve this? "If Medical Assistant Bei has this skill, it should be shared with everyone, not kept to oneself," Ding Sisi said with a smile, yet her words were somewhat sarcastic. Tian Lei frowned, "When did she ever keep it to herself?" Ding Sisi was annoyed and frustrated by Tian Lei’s support. Truthfully, Beisitian wasn’t hiding anything; she was openly treating people. So this argument held no water, but conceding made her feel humiliated. Her discomfort stemmed from jealousy, leading her to speak impulsively. "With such high skills, it would be beneficial to exchange ideas with us interns so we can learn," Ding Sisi suggested. Zhang Meili wanted to cheer for her apprentice and hoped to see Beisitian embarrassed. "Sure, you can start by buying a comprehensive book on herbal medicine from the pharmacy. Memorize the names, forms, and medicinal properties of each herb. Then I can tell you the next step. Of course, if you’re smart enough, you could also buy a basic prescription book and study classical Chinese medicine texts. There you’ll find case studies for reference," Beisitian replied. Ding Sisi hesitated. Memorize all the herbs? She might not know all their names or how many there are, but she’d heard that memorizing countless herbs was more daunting than memorizing Tang and Song poetry! Whether she could remember them wasn’t the point. Just thinking about it seemed mind-numbingly tedious! Yet, isn’t that what traditional Chinese medicine entails... But how does Beisitian’s treatment work so fast?! "Once you’ve mastered the basics and gained practical experience, your efficiency in treating patients will increase. You’ll be able to identify a problem just by looking at the person’s facial features and know what medicine to use," said Beisitian. Ding Sisi was speechless, unable to respond to Beisitian’s words. Tian Lei watched with a smile as Beisitian lectured Ding Sisi. Seeing Sisi’s dumbfounded expression, he shook his head internally. You’re no match for Xiao Bei! Beisitian talked seriously and meticulously. She spoke the truth: every Mystic Doctor is at least an excellent traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, but not every excellent practitioner qualifies to be a Mystic Doctor! Ding Sisi gained nothing and left the office with a huff, pondering how to turn the table. For origınal chapters go to 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝓷𝓮𝓽 No one dared to say anything now. Can you doubt whether Chinese medicine can cure diseases? Beisitian healed someone; as to why it worked so fast, when you familiarize yourself with various herbs and read enough about traditional Chinese medicine, your accumulated knowledge and experience will increase your efficiency too. Beisitian conveyed this point, leaving no room for further arguments. If you say Yu Shufang’s illness was unknown, people might doubt. But everyone knew Tian Lei’s condition. Shen Junping’s lab report wasn’t fake, and Beisitian cured him quickly. Now there’s great curiosity about Chinese medicine. Can herbal medicine really have such significant effects? "Is Doctor Bei here!" A loud shout came from outside the door. The doctors in the clinic were startled. If not for the relatively polite tone, they’d have thought someone was causing trouble! Young Nurse Tao Tao rushed in, "Doctor Xiao Bei, Commander Liu is here!" Commander Liu... Who’s that? Beisitian looked puzzled. Shen Junping was startled, Commander Liu is here? "Xiao Bei, let’s go have a look," Shen Junping guessed Liu Yiming’s intention and cheerfully called Beisitian to go out. They left the third consultation room and exited the hallway, seeing a tall and sturdy man holding a silk banner at the entrance, looking around. This man appeared somewhat coarse, with stubble around his mouth forming a bluish shadow. His thick eyebrows were so close together they nearly formed a straight line. Liu Yiming scanned the surroundings, smiling when he spotted Shen Junping, "Brother Shen, I’m here to deliver a silk banner. Please introduce me to Doctor Bei!" Shen Junping smiled, stepping aside to reveal Beisitian standing behind him, "Here’s Doctor Bei for you."
