Luo Xiaochuan was considered a genius in martial arts, but medical studies could not be achieved just by relying on talent. Even if he had a photographic memory, he still had to read through the medical books that were piled up like mountains. Moreover, he had to memorize the meridians and acupoints.
It was impossible to master every basic skill of Chinese medicine in one go. Even if Luo Xiaochuan had a photographic memory, it was impossible for him to become an artisan doctor in one go. He could not become a doctor just by holding a prescription. This was because Chinese medicine was not Western medicine, nor was it a health supplement. The concept of Chinese medicine was to consolidate the foundation and treat the disease from the root. Because Chinese medicine was thorough in treatment, the dosage of medicine was extremely strict. If the dosage was not right, it might turn from a lifesaving medicine into a fatal poison. This was where the saying that medicine was 30% poisonous came from. It was not just the wrong medicine that would harm people.
Of course, there were also prescriptions for health care in Chinese medicine. For example, Luo Xiaochuan's herbal recipes and his herbal bath recipes were universal. These types of medicine were all from the perspective of consolidating the foundation and strengthening the vitality of the human body. They followed the principle of strengthening the body's Qi and blood and promoting the body's metabolism. As long as the proportion of the medicine was not exaggerated, there would be no problem. This was also the fundamental reason why Luo Xiaochuan did not have any hidden injuries.
Medicinal cuisine was used to maintain the physical consumption of cultivation, while medicinal baths were used to eliminate hidden injuries and relax the muscles and blood circulation. These two prescriptions could be said to be the fundamental reason why Luo Xiaochuan could improve his strength to this extent in such a short period of time. They were also one of the most important inheritances of various sects. It did not matter if someone learned Kung Fu, as long as the prescriptions to complement the practice were not lost, those who forcefully practiced Kung Fu would only suffer the consequences.
The reason why Chen Jiagou could easily forgive Luo Xiaochuan for secretly learning the Chen Clan's Internal Tai Chi was not only because of Luo Xiaochuan himself, but also because of the value of the two prescriptions. The two prescriptions that Luo Xiaochuan had provided were more effective than the prescriptions passed down from Chen Jiagou's ancestors. Of course, the main reason was that the prescriptions were more common. It could increase the efficacy of the medicine while reducing the cost, greatly reducing the resources needed to nurture the younger generation.
Don't think that people in the martial arts world are as carefree as in novels. Although there are such things as wielding a sword in the martial arts world, riding a horse with a saber, punishing evil, and being quick to repay debts, they are not the mainstream in the martial arts world.
The saying that the poor were educated and the rich were martial had been passed down since ancient times. It was not without reason. The most important thing for martial artists was to obtain temperament and talent. However, everyone ignored the most important restrictions, which were the inheritance of martial arts and wealth.
People who didn't have money to support their martial arts training would never have enough meat and herbal food to supplement their body. Medicinal herbs and meat were very expensive at any time. Even the medicinal herbs used by Luo Xiaochuan were not very old. They cost about 200,000 yuan a month. Although Jane and Shuci were part of the money, on average, they cost about 100,000 yuan per person.
Of course, medicinal baths were not required every day, but this was the only way to advance by leaps and bounds in a short period of time without any future problems. In this way, he could only cultivate a little every day and stop when he felt that it was difficult. However, the speed of cultivation would be much slower. Unless he was talented, he could only dream of a late bloomer if he wanted to rise.
Luo Xiaochuan's two prescriptions were enough to reduce Chenjiagou's expenses in this area by one-third. In the long run, even if they did not pursue Luo Xiaochuan, they would still make a huge profit. After all, the prescription Luo Xiaochuan cultivated was not from their lineage. Strictly speaking, it could not be considered as stealing their internal martial arts. Of course, the Chen family was happy to have Luo Xiaochuan, a genius in both medicine and martial arts, join them. Even if Luo Xiaochuan was very capable of stirring up trouble, the Chen family could still hold on with their heritage. Even a large sect like Shaolin would have to give some face to the Chen and Yang families. Furthermore, the Taiji lineage originated from the orthodox Daoist Wudang. This was the pinnacle of the martial arts world and was not inferior to the Buddhist sects led by Shaolin.
The requirements for Chinese medicine apprentices were much lower than in ancient times. In the past, Chinese medicine apprentices not only had to understand meridians and identify herbs, but they also had to learn how to cut and grab herbs. These were all painstaking efforts. They had to cut the herbs evenly, especially when it came to weight. If the herbs were not cut accurately, they would naturally not be able to grab them accurately. A slight difference in the amount of medicine could cause medical accidents. Now, with the existence of sophisticated instruments, the difficulty of grabbing herbs was greatly reduced. However, Luo Xiaochuan's mission standard was based on the standard of an apprentice in ancient times. Two weeks after Huang Mingtang determined that Luo Xiaochuan was qualified to be a Chinese medicine apprentice, Luo Xiaochuan had developed muscle memory by helping Huang Mingtang cut and grab herbs. He could now grab herbs accurately with his hands.
At this moment, he guessed the system's prompt. He was honored to become a rookie in the medical field-a Chinese medicine apprentice.
Ignoring the system's evaluation, Luo Xiaochuan focused his attention on the reward for being a Chinese medicine apprentice. This reward was the technique of observing the Qi in the foundation of medical skills. Seeing, listening, asking, and feeling were the foundation of medical skills and were indispensable abilities for every true doctor. Every ability of seeing, listening, asking, and feeling was the accumulation of experience. He had never heard of a book that could summarize these abilities, but Luo Xiaochuan believed it after reading the book. This was because the technique of observing qi was a summary of the experience of future doctors on various diseases. It covered the characteristics of various known cases. As long as one could integrate the various cases in this book, they would be able to master the technique of observing qi. This was equivalent to a skill inheritance. If every Chinese medicine practitioner could record all their cases and pass them on, the efficiency of cultivating disciples would undoubtedly increase by dozens of times. Moreover, this inheritance was not inferior to his medical concepts and treatment techniques. However, since ancient times, all the doctors had cherished their own medicine, causing many diseases that could be cured in ancient times to become terminal illnesses in modern times.
Not only did this book give Luo Xiaochuan a chance to learn how to observe Qi in a short period of time, but it also allowed Luo Xiaochuan to draw inferences from other cases. He thought of using case studies to greatly shorten the time needed to train doctors and even medical craftsmen. This would greatly improve the cultivation system of Chinese medicine, and it could even be said to be a complete transformation.
Luo Xiaochuan tactfully expressed his intention by asking questions such as the key to seeing, hearing, asking, and feeling, which immediately made Huang Mingtang fall into an epiphany. After praising Luo Xiaochuan for his intelligence, he ran to his room and started writing his own thesis. Then, he asked Luo Xiaochuan to sort out his medical records according to the four key points and treatment methods. It was simply plagiarizing Luo Xiaochuan's creativity. Furthermore, they wanted to exploit Luo Xiaochuan's labor.
However, Luo Xiaochuan was not disgusted by Huang Mingtang's shameless behavior. Instead, he hoped that Huang Mingtang could get more medical records from his other Chinese medicine friends for him to sort out. Even though this would cost Luo Xiaochuan a lot of time and energy, once Luo Xiaochuan finished sorting out these, it would be enough for him to become a doctor or even an artisan doctor who could prescribe the right medicine.
Huang Mingtang was indeed one of the big shots in the medical field, especially after he plagiarized Luo Xiaochuan's idea. In just one day, he had written a thesis of tens of thousands of words, which was enough for him to show off on the medical forum. Of course, it was Luo Xiaochuan's job to organize the electronic document, the PowerPoint presentation, and the speech script. As the saying went, when the master had something to do, the disciple had to do it. Fortunately, Huang Mingtang had not completely lost his sense of shame. He added Luo Xiaochuan as his assistant at the end of his signature.
