Chapter 163 Medicine and Martial Arts Are Inseparable: Lin Feng's Introduction to Medicine

When Lin Feng ran home, Yueyue was pouting and holding a small medicine box, standing in the yard throwing a tantrum.

Lin's mother squatted down and affectionately patted Yueyue's head. "Who made our little Yueyue angry? Her little mouth is so pouty you could hang an oil bottle on it."

Little Yueyue stomped her foot, "Hmph, Daddy promised to go to the clinic with me today, but he's nowhere to be found."

Are agreements with children unimportant?

"Did Father forget his promise to me and run off to the Hemp-Clad Guard?"

As Yueyue finished speaking, tears welled up in her eyes.

Lin Feng rushed into the yard and picked up Yueyue in his arms.

"Ah!" Yueyue exclaimed in surprise, caught off guard.

Lin Feng smiled and said, "The promise I made to my little Yueyue is the most important thing. How could Daddy forget? Daddy will take you to the clinic right now."

Haha, Yueyue stopped crying and started laughing, as if the little person who was about to cry just now wasn't her at all.

She wrapped her arms around Lin Feng's neck and kissed him on the cheek. "Let's hurry up, we're going to be late today."

Little Yueyue winked and made faces at the boys behind her.

The four little ones in the yard all looked on with envy. They had tutors come to their homes to teach them to read and write, unlike their little sister who could go out to play and had her father with her.

"How could we be late with Father here?" Lin Feng picked up Yueyue and ran. Yueyue's personal maid chased after her for a few steps, but Lin Feng and his daughter disappeared from sight.

Little Yueyue only felt the wind whistling past her ears, and soon she arrived at the clinic.

Yueyue's master is Li Zhenshi, the most skilled doctor in Qinghe County.

When Dr. Li, who was sitting and drinking tea in the backyard of the clinic, saw Lin Feng arrive, he immediately stood up to greet him. “I was unaware of your arrival, General. I apologize for not welcoming you properly.”

Although Lin Feng was not the city lord, after defeating Zheng Tiejun in the duel, his prestige had surpassed that of the city lord, and he had become the most powerful person in Qinghe County. How could a doctor like him dare to be negligent?

Lin Feng put Yueyue down. "Doctor Li is Yueyue's teacher. It's too formal to say that. Doctor Li, please don't be so polite in the future."

Doctor Li looked at Lin Feng and asked, "General, you've come to the clinic. Is something wrong?"

"No, I'm just accompanying my daughter out for a walk and also to learn about medical techniques."

Doctor Li smiled and said, "General, you are indeed farsighted."

Since ancient times, medicine and martial arts have been inseparable; martial arts practitioners train their bodies, and doctors heal their bodies.

Studying medicine can lead to a deeper understanding of the human body, which might give the general some insights into martial arts.

"What Dr. Li said is absolutely right."

My teacher, Mr. Hong, was a highly skilled doctor.

First, Dr. Li assigned Yueyue a study task. He took a book called "Zixu Maijue" from the bookshelf and asked Yueyue to memorize it.

Little Yueyue sat at a small desk specially prepared for her and began to recite, swaying her head.

Lin Feng asked, "What is this medical book about?"

"Oh, this medical book uses four-character rhymes to explain in detail the basic principles and methods of pulse diagnosis, as well as the relationship between the four seasons and pulse patterns. It is an introductory book to medicine."

The child doesn't understand yet, but they can memorize it and gradually come to understand.

"Do you still have the 'Purple Void Pulse Manual'? I'd like to have a copy to look at too."

"There is also a handwritten copy; I will bring it to the general right away."

Doctor Li took another copy of "The Purple Void Pulse Manual" from the bookshelf and handed it to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng took the medical book and quickly flipped through it.

After looking at it, he noticed that his attribute panel had changed.

A new section for medical skills has been added to the attribute panel, which reads: "Medical Skill Level: 0, Not yet a beginner".

However, the "Purple Void Pulse Technique" was not included in the attribute panel like a martial arts manual.

However, Lin Feng can still use the breakthrough point to quickly learn medical skills.

Moreover, medical books are not categorized by level, but only by whether or not they are mastered.

This book, "The Purple Void Pulse Manual," can be mastered with just one key breakthrough.

Lin Feng spent a little breakthrough point to master the "Purple Void Pulse Technique".

A flood of memories appeared in Lin Feng's mind. In those memories, he was learning the "Purple Void Pulse Manual" while taking pulses for different people. It took him about a year to completely master this medical book.

The properties panel has changed.

The medical skills section has changed to: "Medical Skill Level: 1, Not Yet a Beginner".

The "Purple Void Pulse Technique" did not appear on the attribute panel.

This is good, as it saves the attribute panel from being too complicated.

After adding the points, Lin Feng felt hungry.

Perhaps because his life attribute has increased, this feeling of hunger is no longer a big deal to him.

But why starve yourself?

Lin Feng took out a piece of dried meat from his pocket, chewed it twice, and swallowed it, completely eliminating his hunger.

Lin Feng put down "The Purple Void Pulse Manual" and asked, "What other introductory medical books do you have? Bring me a few more."

Dr. Li brought Lin Feng a stack of medical books.

Lin Feng looked through them one by one.

Such as "The Supreme Inner Canon", "The Supreme Outer Canon", "The Golden Chamber Pulse Prescriptions", "Treatise on Wind-Cold and Miscellaneous Diseases", "The Supreme Materia Medica", etc.

These medical books can also be mastered with just one key breakthrough.

Lin Feng added points to each book one by one.

For every medical book he masters, the number next to his medical skill level on his attribute panel increases by one point.

Medical skill level: 1, not yet a beginner.

Medical skill level: 2, not yet a beginner.

Medical skill level: 3, not yet a beginner.

......

When Lin Feng mastered the tenth medical book, the number after his medical skill level reset to 0, and the text changed to "beginner".

My life attribute also increased by 10 points.

Lin Feng now has ten years of medical experience in his mind.

He felt he had gained a deeper understanding of his own body structure and meridians, which was indeed very helpful for his martial arts practice.

Moreover, Lin Feng felt that he could also treat some minor illnesses for others.

Lin Feng closed his eyes and meditated for a while.

Then he opened his eyes and glanced at Dr. Li's bookshelf, which contained at least forty or fifty medical books.

I wonder to what extent these medical books can help me improve my medical skills.

Lin Feng looked up at the sun; it was already lunchtime.

I didn't feel hungry while eating dried meat, but Dr. Li and Yueyue still needed to eat something.

Lin Feng took Yueyue and Doctor Li and his son to Zuiyuexuan, the best restaurant in the city.

Upon seeing Lin Feng, the restaurant owner immediately arranged a private room on the top floor for Lin Feng and his three companions.

Dr. Li and his son felt very honored and kept smiling.

Lin Feng personally invited them to dinner, giving them plenty of face. With this relationship, no one in Qinghe County would dare to make things difficult for his family's clinic in the future.

During the meal, Lin Feng also asked the old doctor and his son some questions about medical techniques, and the two of them answered all his questions without reservation.

Lin Feng then checked the attribute panels of the two individuals.

It was discovered that the senior doctor was only a mid-level physician, while his son was a junior physician.

Neither of them was particularly skilled in medicine.

This is normal. If a doctor were truly skilled, they wouldn't stay in a small place like Qinghe County.

After a couple of drinks, the old doctor started boasting that his teacher was in the county town and that he was a disciple of the Dan Ding Sect, which belonged to the official forces.

What was said unintentionally was taken to heart by Lin Feng, who secretly kept these words in mind.

Learning medicine has many benefits; if you were to be poisoned in the future, you could use your medical skills to save yourself.

Once one's medical skills reach a high level, one can also refine elixirs of the Jiazi Zenggong Dan (甲子增功丹) level.

The cost would definitely be lower if you refined it yourself.

After I finish studying all the medical books here with the old doctor, I will ask the old doctor to take me to his teacher in the county town to continue studying medical books.

However, I still need to focus on martial arts training and not waste too much time on medical skills, otherwise it would be putting the cart before the horse.

After finishing his meal, Lin Feng went to the old doctor to continue reading medical books.

Perhaps today my medical skills will be able to catch up with those of the senior doctor.
