Chapter 235 Ancient Medical Techniques
Chen Yang was speechless upon hearing Ujina's words.
He said, "How can you leave in my current state?"
Ujina was also annoyed. She said, feeling wronged, "I really have something to do, and it's been half an hour already. I'm tired too. Just wait for me to come back!"
After saying that, Ujina turned around and hurriedly left the room.
Chen Yang pondered for a moment; the woman had left because she heard the partridge's call outside.
It must be her companion.
It seems this woman is no ordinary person.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he and Ujina entered Yangguan City and stepped into the sphere of influence of the Great Man Kingdom, they came looking for Ujina.
Could it be that they've been keeping an eye on his carriage the whole time?
Chen Yang stood up, then sighed in annoyance, "That damned woman, she set a fire and then didn't bother to put it out! Fine, she'll play dumb with me. I'll teach her a lesson she won't forget!"
Chen Yang made up his mind.
At this moment, he was naturally wide awake.
They were even extremely anxious.
Chen Yang then simply left the room and wandered around the back of the clinic.
On the second floor of the clinic, there is a simple and elegant study.
Chen Yang went inside. The study was filled with densely packed medical books, which were required readings for the imperial physicians of the Ming Dynasty.
He casually flipped open a book and glanced at it, then was immediately surprised.
This scroll records not only the Five Elements and Yin-Yang principles of traditional Chinese medicine, but also some surgical techniques.
It seems that although this world is mainly about cultivation, cultivators at the lower levels and ordinary people still need medical treatment when they get sick.
As for serious injuries, medical skills are naturally useless; one must rely on elixirs or other special methods.
Since Chen Yang couldn't sleep anyway, he sat down and casually flipped through the medical books.
A large part of the medical books is about the pharmacology of medicinal materials, which Chen Yang had already mastered. After all, he was already a beginner alchemist and knew the properties of various medicinal materials like the back of his hand.
In addition, there is a lot of knowledge about human anatomy, which Chen Yang, as a modern person, can understand at a glance.
Unbeknownst to him, Chen Yang became engrossed in the medical science of this other world.
the other side.
Ujina quietly left the clinic, rubbing her cheek as she muttered to herself, "This job is so tiring... but it's actually quite... fun."
She shook her head, putting what had just happened out of her mind, and followed the sound to an alley behind the clinic.
At the entrance of the alley, a young man dressed in black was already waiting there.
Ujina walked over and asked, "Are you also in the organization?"
The man immediately stepped forward and respectfully said, "Holy Maiden, it is I, Tuoba Shuai!"
Ujina said "Oh," and then said, "So it was you. How did you know I was here?"
Tuoba Shuai looked Wujina over and saw that apart from constantly rubbing her mouth, there were no signs of her having bathed and nothing unusual about her. He breathed a slight sigh of relief and said, "Holy Maiden, I happened to be seeing patients at the clinic when I saw you come in with people from the Ming Dynasty. I was worried that you might be in danger, so I sent a signal to meet you."
Upon hearing this, Ujina replied, "What danger could I possibly be in? I came with a friend, and I'll be going to the royal court with him. Next time, unless it's urgent, don't be so reckless; you'll be discovered!"
After saying that, Ujina turned to leave.
Tuoba Shuai hurriedly said, "Nana, I'm so worried about you! I saw you go into the same room with that man, and you're going to stay all night! How can this be? You are a saint, the future queen of our Great Man Kingdom, you can't let those dogs of the Ming Dynasty bewitch your mind!"
Ujina frowned slightly, turned to look at Tuoba Shuai, and said, "Tuoba Shuai, you know I am the Holy Maiden, so please don't call me Nana. Besides, I don't need to report my affairs to you."
Tuoba Shuai knelt down on one knee with a "thud" and hurriedly said, "Holy Maiden, I'm just worried about your safety! You know I love you, and I will protect you with my life! If you are being forced, with my strength, I can definitely escort you away!"
Ujina waved her hand impatiently and said, "Alright, alright, no one is forcing me. I have my own plans. Go back, you don't need to follow me anymore. I told you I'm safe."
After saying that, Ujina hurriedly left and returned to the clinic.
Tuoba Shuai watched her retreating figure, his fists clenched, his whole body trembling.
He was a sensitive man, and from the conversation just now, he could tell that Ujina trusted and was intimate with that man from the Ming Dynasty.
It's outrageous that our holy maiden would have to share a room with a strange man for an entire night, even if they didn't do anything!
The thought that Ujina might be lying in the same bed as Chen Yang made Tuoba Shuai's heart bleed.
He raised his head, his eyes blazing with anger, staring intently at the third floor. After a long while, he turned and left in a huff.
Ujina returned to her room and, finding Chen Yang not there, breathed a slight sigh of relief: "Thank goodness, that scoundrel isn't here. He won't force me to eat anymore. I need to go to sleep!"
She ignored the food on the table, jumped onto the bed, and went to sleep fully clothed.
In the study, Chen Yang had unknowingly read more than a dozen medical books and found the medical techniques of this world quite interesting.
Just as I was about to look down, the system suddenly made a "ding" sound.
He opened the panel to check:
[Ding! Your Ancient Medical Skill has reached the beginner level. Do you wish to consume spirit stones to upgrade it to the minor mastery stage?]
"Huh? This is called Ancient Medical Arts? That makes some sense."
Chen Yang stroked his chin as he glanced at the upgrade price list.
Each level up requires two thousand spirit stones.
"Damn, this price is a bit too high! It's just outdated medical technology, yet it's so expensive. Oh well, I'll try upgrading."
Without hesitation, I chose to upgrade.
[Ding! 2000 spirit stones have been spent; the Ancient Medical Technique has been upgraded to the Lesser Completion stage!]
[Ding! 4000 spirit stones have been spent; the Ancient Medical Technique has been upgraded to the Great Perfection stage!]
[Ding! 8000 spirit stones have been spent; the Ancient Medical Technique has been upgraded to its peak stage!]
[Ding! 16000 spirit stones have been spent; the Ancient Medical Technique has been upgraded to Perfect Mastery!]
A vast amount of knowledge flooded into Chen Yang's mind.
Immediately, a strange, warm aura flowed through Chen Yang's dantian and circulated throughout his body!
It was a very peculiar aura, similar to spiritual power, but fundamentally different.
"Hmm? Ancient medical techniques? Ancient Qi cultivators?"
Chen Yang's expression revealed a look of surprise!
Originally, I just wanted to learn a medical skill for fun, but I never expected to come into contact with this special cultivation method and special medical skill from ancient times.
Now, Chen Yang's medical skills have reached perfection. He can not only treat physical diseases, but more importantly, he can also use various methods to deeply strengthen his body and use the Qi Refining True Qi in his body to treat diseases.
Although high-level cultivators nowadays rely mainly on pills and special skills to heal their injuries, having mastered this ancient medical art allows for a more thorough understanding of a cultivator's various injuries, and makes the selection of pills or the use of treatment methods more precise.
Furthermore, the healing effect is even more terrifying when using the internal Qi of a Qi Refiner.
Chen Yang nodded in satisfaction; the 30,000 spirit stones were well spent!
Unexpectedly, I came across this ancient method in this clinic.
He stood up and realized that it was already dawn outside.
At the entrance to the study, a gentle and charming woman stood gracefully, quietly watching him—it was Qiao Ziyun.
Chen Yang looked at Qiao Ziyun, quickly cupped his hands in greeting, and said with a smile, "Imperial Physician Qiao, I'm so sorry to have come to see these medical books without your permission."
Qiao Ziyun blinked her beautiful eyes slightly, smiled sweetly, and said, "I didn't expect that Lord Chen would be so patient as to study these outdated and boring medical techniques."
Chen Yang said, "Outdated? I don't think so. These medical techniques must have a very important origin, perhaps related to some cultivation techniques from ancient times."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Ziyun looked surprised and immediately stepped forward to stand beside Chen Yang. Her voice tinged with joy, she said, "Lord Chen, you are truly insightful! To discover the secrets of the source from these medical books after only half a night of reading is truly admirable!"
Chen Yang smiled and said, "It's mainly because I studied some medical techniques before, so I already have some understanding of these skills. It's not that I'm particularly smart."
Qiao Ziyun said, "Since you say so, Lord Chen, I do have a few questions I'd like to ask you. Please have a seat, Lord Chen, and I'll make you a cup of tea."
After saying that, without waiting for Chen Yang to refuse, she turned around and went to the tea stove next to her to brew tea and burn incense.
The faint aroma of tea quickly spread.
Qiao Ziyun poured a cup of tea and placed it next to Chen Yang, then asked, "Does Lord Chen know that 'people of ancient times, who guarded their inner spirit, were immune to evil and could live to be eight hundred years old'? Is this true? Does it refer to those powerful cultivators? To live to be eight hundred years old, they must all be Golden Core cultivators, right?"
Chen Yang shook his head and said, "'When the spirit is guarded within, evil cannot invade,' which speaks of a way of life that aligns with the natural order of the Great Dao. Activating the righteous energy within the body prevents all diseases; if one can align with the Dao of Heaven, one can live to be eight hundred years old even without cultivation. However, I feel that this does not describe a Golden Core cultivator, but rather another method of cultivation called Qi Refining, which has long been lost."
Qiao Ziyun quickly asked, "Then what do 'Ministerial Fire and Yin Earth' mean?"
Chen Yang then explained it to Qiao Ziyun in detail.
Qiao Ziyun was instantly convinced by Chen Yang's explanation and couldn't help but move closer to him again, her beautiful eyes fixed on Chen Yang's face, carefully savoring his words.
As the aroma of tea wafted through the air, the atmosphere became increasingly quiet and serene.
Just then, footsteps sounded, and Ujina walked over, rubbing her eyes.
She turned her head to look into the study and saw Chen Yang and Qiao Ziyun talking head to head at the table. She couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Startled awake by the laughter, Qiao Ziyun realized she was too close to Chen Yang. She quickly stood up and said to Chen Yang, "Thank you for your guidance, Lord Chen. I have learned a great deal today and am extremely grateful."
After saying that, she bowed slightly to Ujina and said, "Good morning, Madam Chen. I'll go make breakfast for you both."
After saying that, Qiao Ziyun turned and left.
Ujina walked towards Chen Yang with a smile and said, "Hehehe, Chen Yang, you're still being hypocritical! Yesterday I asked you if you preferred a woman like Physician Qiao, and if you wanted to feed her, and you wouldn't admit it! And now, only a day later, you two are already hooking up? Great! Will you let me off the hook now?"
