The title "Medical God" was not a divine identity, but a recognition of the highest realm of medical skill in contemporary times. Although the Old Master Yao was currently called a "Divine Doctor," he could not be called a "Medical God." Although the terms shared two characters, their meanings were entirely different. It was said that the last Medical God had appeared five hundred years ago. At that time, plague swept across the land, corpses lay everywhere, and the living suffered unbearable pain. The Medical God appeared, casually pointing at an ordinary river nearby, turning the common river water into a potion that cured all diseases. Those who drank the potion quickly recovered their health, and the plague was controlled and eradicated. Many believed this was merely a legend, but such a person had indeed existed five centuries prior.
Zhu Yanyi had heard this legend as well. However, in her view, while she knew the Medical God existed, she could not be certain if the figure from five hundred years ago truly held that title. Seeing the Old Master Yao’s expression now, she feared this was no simple tale. "Is the Medical God not just a legend?"
"Others consider it a legend, but it is a true event. My grandmaster personally encountered the Medical God. It is said that back then, she was still a medicine boy, following a doctor to a disaster area to treat the victims. They were helpless, but then a young man arrived. She casually pointed, tapped the side of a pond, and had people scoop the water from inside for the victims to drink. After drinking, all the victims recovered their health. But when everyone looked for her after they were cured, not even a shadow of her could be found. This story has been passed down in our sect." The Old Master Yao looked at Zhu Yanyi. "Ani, you have had many extraordinary encounters. Perhaps one day, you will reach that realm."
Zhu Yanyi paused slightly. Her extraordinary encounters were actually not many; her current achievements were due to her Ruyi Space. Of course, one did not need many encounters; one was enough.
Zhu Yanyi thought for a moment, put away her smile, and her expression became particularly serious. "Grandpa Yao, I do not know if I can become a Medical God. However, the Medical God is the dream, hope, and pursuit of every healer. Of course, if I cannot become a Medical God, I will still be a good doctor. I will do my best to relieve everyone's pain."
"Good, good." The Old Master Yao nodded with satisfaction. "Ani, you spoke well. Grandpa Yao is very happy with your mindset."
"Master, Junior Sister, we can leave now." At this moment, the practice chamber door opened, and Gu Jingtian entered.
The Old Master Yao and Zhu Yanyi exchanged a smile, then each took a medical kit and followed Gu Jingtian.
The car that came to pick them up was a black business van. Upon entering, they found that besides the driver, there was another person. Judging by his demeanor, he was likely a bodyguard.
"Ani, yesterday we communicated smoothly with the parents. The children have been safely transferred. The children currently in the hospital are hired child actors. We only told them they were here to film a scene, so no one knows they are there to substitute for patients for a day. Tomorrow, they will leave with their parents, and the records of the nineteen people will be modified simultaneously." Gu Jingtian explained the situation clearly.
Zhu Yanyi listened, feeling both amused and exasperated. She felt her stance had always been clear; she had never intended to interfere in these matters. "Senior Brother, what is the use of telling me this? My goal is not to detoxify people? Aren't all the other communications your responsibility? Besides, is it appropriate for you to tell an eleven-year-old girl about such things?"
