My Pretty Campus Queen

Chapter 1389: Chapter 1388: Becoming an Apprentice in Medicine

"Yes, yes, I want to learn some self-defense skills." Chen Tianlong said humbly.

"Oh, then please follow me."

Hua Sai got up as she spoke and walked straight out.

Since Wu Mengting was recovering from a serious illness, she decided to stay behind to chat with Lady Hua. However, Gu Yuxin was lively and active, so she immediately followed Chen Tianlong out without hesitation.

A few minutes later, the three arrived at a herbal pavilion. After Hua Sai opened the door, the two followed her inside. As soon as they entered, they were greeted with the faint scent of herbs, and Chen Tianlong knew this was Hua Sai’s core storage room for herbs.

"Brother Chen Tianlong, I’m bringing you to the pharmacy to test your sensitivity to the nature of herbs, which you refer to as talent." Hua Sai said with a slight smile.

"Oh? How will you test me?" Chen Tianlong asked curiously.

"Haha, you’ll know soon enough."

With that, she walked over to a medicine cabinet, pointed to the names of dozens of herbs, and said, "Brother Chen Tianlong, first use your memory and sense of smell to understand the name and corresponding scent of each herb, and later I’ll test you."

Having said that, Hua Sai sat down at a round table nearby and calmly began to pour herself a cup of tea. Seeing that the elder had instructed him so, Chen Tianlong began the task.

This experience instantly reminded Chen Tianlong of Li Tianyou’s herbal sensitivity test.

This test by Hua Sai seemed exactly the same.

With this realization, Chen Tianlong wasted no time and earnestly began to identify the herbs. He took a general glance and then picked up a few pieces with his hand; a few minutes later, he lifted his head and said with a slight smile, "There are a total of ten herbs."

"Huh?"

Just like Li Tianyou in the past, Hua Sai was extremely shocked but immediately thought that it might be a coincidence, so she quickly asked, "Could you tell me which ones?"

"Sure."

Chen Tianlong smiled and replied, picking up a piece of herb casually, sniffed it under his nose, and thought for a moment before saying:

"Gastrodia, yellowish-white to pale yellow-brown surface, slightly transparent, with many irregular longitudinal wrinkles. Du Zhong, outer surface pale brown, relatively smooth, inner surface smooth and dark purple, faint scent, slightly bitter taste. Winter, flower bud of the chrysanthemum family, spicy warm nature. Danggui, double-suspended oval fruit, side ribs with wings, sweet, spicy, bitter, warm nature. Zhongning Goji Berries are oval-shaped, purplish-red, with white fruit navel, aromatic..."

Watching Chen Tianlong eloquently detailing the identification methods, Hua Sai was stunned.

"Haha, Brother Chen Tianlong, you are truly talented, hidden genius, a little Divine Doctor." Hua Sai couldn’t help but praise.

"Hehe, I know a thing or two, but compared to Divine Doctor Hua, I still have a long way to go." In the presence of Divine Doctor, Chen Tianlong remained humble.

"Haha, Brother Chen Tianlong, no need to be humble, let’s not rush to talk about apprenticeship or not. It’s rare to meet a young man with such a passion for medicine; as an old man, I’m thrilled and eager to pass on my knowledge." Hua Sai smiled warmly, having made a decision.

"Ah! Divine Doctor Hua, isn’t this a bit improper? If these are ancestral secret manuals, I think..." Chen Tianlong said, somewhat surprised.

"Ah, when you find a friend, thousands of cups are not enough; similarly, when you meet a kindred spirit in medicine, even passing on all medical knowledge won’t feel like a loss; it’s about continuity." Hua Sai said nonchalantly.

Seeing Chen Tianlong walk around the table and kneel on the ground.

"Regardless, Divine Doctor Hua, from tonight onwards, you are my master. Master, please accept my bow as your disciple." With that, Chen Tianlong deeply kowtowed.

"Ah, please get up quickly."

Hua Sai, known for recognizing talent, had planned to teach Chen Tianlong her skills due to his talent, but she was surprised by his sudden gesture.

"Haha, alright, Master."

After bowing, Chen Tianlong stood up happily.

"Starting tomorrow, I will teach you my unique skills, the Fuxi Nine Needles." As she said that, Hua Sai walked over to a cabinet next door and took out an ancient book from the top, handing it to Chen Tianlong as she said:

"This is the Fuxi Nine Needles of the Hua Family, specifically targeting acupuncture techniques. Once you comprehend it, it’s a divine book. Moreover, this technique can also be used for self-defense. As your teacher, I bestow it upon you, hoping you will slowly understand it; inside there are also my years of clinical experience. Take your time to learn."

Chen Tianlong respectfully accepted the book, flipped through it, and put it into his clothes. Shortly after, the three began walking out of the room.

Days passed without incident. During this time, Chen Tianlong kept his promise and followed his master to study pharmacology and medicine. Gradually, he felt that his medical skills had greatly improved, almost inheriting Hua Sai’s legacy.

A week flew by, Wu Mengting’s health returned to normal. On this day, with the weather clear, Chen Tianlong was thinking about leaving the Capital City to make a trip back to South Sea.

But before leaving, Chen Tianlong wanted to take Wu Mengting to stroll around, as both had been in the Capital City for quite some time without truly enjoying themselves.

It felt like they wasted this visit.

"Mengting, how’s your health feeling?" Chen Tianlong asked Wu Mengting, who was walking toward him, with concern.

"Haha, Chen Tianlong, I’m fully recovered now. I’ve been bored these past few days, really want to go out for a walk." Wu Mengting felt fully recovered and was ready to go for a stroll.

"Alright, tonight I’ll take you both out for some fun, to relax." Chen Tianlong readily agreed.

"Wow, going out to play tonight?"

Gu Yuxin, who just happened to walk by and heard their discussion about going out, immediately took interest.

Chen Tianlong turned around, saw Gu Yuxin smiling and coming over, was speechless; this girl only thinks about playing, he wondered what she thinks about all day.

"Yes, Sister Yuxin, Chen Tianlong said he’s taking us out shopping tonight." Wu Mengting, pulling Gu Yuxin’s hand, said.

"Really? That’s wonderful."

Gu Yuxin seemed as happy as a flower, her eyes squinting with joy.

For the first time, Chen Tianlong saw Gu Yuxin so happy, suddenly feeling a strange sensation, as if these two women had suddenly entered his world, making him reluctant to let go.

Night quickly descended, and weekend nights always saw streets magnificently lit up, colorful lights illuminating the city’s sky like stars.

The streets were bustling with pedestrians and traffic, couples and friends flocking to one of the most vibrant cities on earth.

Suddenly, fireworks were set off into the sky one after another, spreading at mid-air, forming various shapes, decorating the city sky beautifully, like colorful silk.

"Chen Tianlong, look at the sky, it’s so beautiful." Wu Mengting looked at the sky filled with fireworks, immediately filled with joy, hopping with excitement, her cheeks flushed with happiness.

"Haha, yes, it’s beautiful."

Chen Tianlong also raised his head, looking up at the beautiful sky.

Meanwhile, Gu Yuxin quietly closed her eyes; feeling it strange, Chen Tianlong walked over and tapped her shoulder.

"Hey, what’s up with you?"
