Chapter 2243

The man was dressed entirely in white, wearing a white straw hat on her head. She held a white cane in her left hand and walked out, smiling slightly at Zhu Yanyi and her group. "You are all healers from the Cai Xin civilization, correct?"

Zhu Yanyi raised an eyebrow slightly but remained silent. Mu Rongyin spoke up: "Hello. We are from the Sage Academy. I wonder if you are referring to the Cai Xin plane we come from."

The man in white smiled. "The Sage Plane, where the Sage Academy is located, teaches basic medicine. Therefore, it belongs to the Cai Xin plane." He continued, "Let me introduce myself. My surname is Bai, and my given name is Chaihu. You may call me Bai Chaihu, or simply Chaihu."

"Brother Chaihu, could you please explain our current situation?" Mu Rongyin asked.

Bai Chaihu nodded slightly. "You belong to the Cai Xin plane. Your study period here is thirty days. For the next thirty days, I will be in charge of your coursework and other arrangements. You can contact me if you have any questions."

After speaking, Bai Chaihu said, "Please board the small bus. I will take you on an aerial tour to show you the general appearance of our Medical Realm."

Following Bai Chaihu’s invitation, everyone entered the small bus. Once everyone was seated, the bus took off. Bai Chaihu began to explain: "Below us is our Medical Realm. Many people come here to study. Generally, we divide them into three categories. The first is the Shang Xin plane. Healers from this plane have high medical skills, and what they learn is mostly beyond your understanding. The second is the Zhong Xin plane. Healers from this plane have slightly better skills than yours. The third category is those from the Cai Xin plane, like you, whose medical skills are relatively low."

Bai Chaihu spoke seriously: "During your thirty days, the first five days will be spent learning the basics here. The next five days will be for learning basic medicine preparation. Then, for another five days, you will be allowed to treat patients based on your individual characteristics. Aside from these fifteen days, the remaining fifteen days are for free activity. You may go out and walk around freely. As long as you return to the designated place on the last day, I will send you back to where you came from. This marks the end of your journey."

"That doesn't sound right," Zhu Yanyi laughed upon hearing this. "Mr. Bai, if you say we are here for a trip, why arrange for us to learn basic medicine and treat patients? If it were truly a tour to showcase the brilliance of your Medical Realm, you should arrange for us to observe various advanced medical techniques daily. Otherwise, arranging for us to learn basics and treat patients seems like a waste of both your time and ours, as we could do the same in the Sage Plane."

Bai Chaihu looked at Zhu Yanyi. "To fully tour the medical arts of our realm, you must successfully challenge the medical arena below."

Bai Chaihu pointed to a location below. Although it was called an arena, it was actually an octagonal pavilion. Next to the pavilion stood a sign with the character for 'arena' written on it, indicating that this was the place.

Zhu Yanyi pointed down. "Is there any background to this medical arena?"

Bai Chaihu looked at Zhu Yanyi and spoke slowly: "The medical arena exists to solve all difficult and complicated diseases or to assess medical skills. Those from the Cai Xin plane, if you can solve the problems presented there, I will take you to tour the entire Medical Realm. I will not arrange for you to learn any basic knowledge."

"Really? Then let's try it," Zhu Yanyi said directly. "I may not pass the clinical case challenges, but I want to test my actual ability. At least, I want to know my level in this Medical Realm."

Zhu Yanyi spoke sincerely. She truly wanted to know her own capabilities, especially since even Yan Aohan had said that the Medical Realm was a place worth visiting.

Bai Chaihu was indifferent to this. Perhaps she often encountered people who did not know their limits. So, regarding Zhu Yanyi's words, she only glanced at the others. "Do you have any objections?"

"No objections," Bai Haochen said with a smile. "Since Junior Sister Yanyi wants to try, let her try."

In the Sage Academy, Zhu Yanyi might be an elder, but in the Medical Realm, she was nothing. Since she was nothing here, there was no need to speak up now.

Moreover, Bai Haochen said this mainly because she wanted to see Zhu Yanyi's true medical level.

Regardless of the reason, neither the elders nor the students of the Sage Academy had any objections.

Seeing that they had no objections, Bai Chaihu said nothing more. Instead, he slowly landed the aerial bus and opened the door for them to exit.

"To enter the arena, you must first pass a trial. There are three boxes here by the arena sign. Each box contains a question. You must pass them to enter the arena," Bai Chaihu said.

Zhu Yanyi nodded. "Are there any other key points?"

Bai Chaihu was a bit confused by Zhu Yanyi's thoughts but still shook her head. "No, that is all. If you fail the three questions, you fail the trial and cannot enter." Bai Chaihu said seriously.

Zhu Yanyi nodded with a smile, indicating she understood, and then walked over. She approached the three boxes and casually opened one first.

Inside the box was a type of medicinal herb. Bai Chaihu came over and said: "Identify the name of the herb based on its appearance, and explain what disease it can treat."

The herb was a grass. On the leaves of the grass was a heart-shaped pattern. The leaves were long and slender, resembling orchid grass.

Zhu Yanyi raised an eyebrow slightly. "This is one of the Fu herbs, specifically the Fuzi Grass. The Divine Classic of Materia Medica mentions that Fuzi Grass nourishes the child with the mother, and sacrifices the mother's life for the child. As for what disease it treats, to be honest, this is not a disease. It is merely a weak mother body trying to save her child. She uses her remaining energy to transform into nutrients useful for the child through medicine. When the child is born, the mother dies. In other words, once the child is successfully born, the mother will die. This is simply a medicinal herb that exchanges one life for another. I wonder if I am correct?"

After speaking, Zhu Yanyi looked at Bai Chaihu.

Bai Chaihu glanced at the answer sheet beside him, a flash of surprise in his eyes. He nodded. "The answer is correct. Please continue."

Zhu Yanyi opened the second box. Inside was a bowl of herbal soup. It was unclear how long it had been there; it was dark and murky, and it was unknown if it had expired.

Bai Chaihu said: "You cannot taste it. You can only guess how many types of herbs are inside and which ones they are, by looking and smelling."
