My Wife is Unbeatable in the Whole World, Touch Me If You Dare!-Chapter 465 - 324: Medical School Enters the Realm [Combined]_2
Doctor Sun was at a loss for words. No wonder his medical knowledge was so rich, yet he lacked any cultivation of the Medical School—it was because he was missing practical experience.
For the Medical School, theory is theory and practice is practice.
However, merely understanding medical theory does not necessarily make one a good healer, but lacking medical theory means one cannot even be considered a healer.
Looking at this young man, he couldn't help but feel a sense of appreciation for his talent.
What a fine Medical School prospect he was—so young, yet his grasp of medical theory was no weaker than his own at the Fourth Realm. With a bit of training, he could surely become a renowned imperial physician in medical history.
Earlier on the road, he had heard the Minister of Revenue say that this young man was an official of Daxia.
He was pondering how he could persuade such a promising prospect to abandon politics for medicine, to not waste his gift for the Medical Path, and ideally take him as a disciple—what a mark of pride that would be...
Li Nuo was also deep in thought.
The first Medical College was crucial. It determined whether they could smoothly take their initial step, and it had to be done beautifully. He couldn't manage it alone and needed to recruit more seasoned members of the Medical School.
How could he tie Doctor Sun and even other members of the Medicine King Valley to his cause, ideally having them work for free?
Their gazes met, simultaneous words exchanged.
"Young brother..."
"Doctor Sun..."
Both spoke at the same time, then fell silent simultaneously.
Doctor Sun chuckled and said, "You speak first."
Li Nuo replied, "You are the elder, please speak first..."
Doctor Sun did not insist on further politeness and asked, "Young brother, would you like to study medicine—to become a true member of the Medical School? Cultivate True Qi, not only to cure diseases but to extend life as well. In the Fourth Realm of the Medical School, one can easily live past a hundred years; in the Fifth Realm, one can live over three cycles of sixty years...
Others may study medicine to extend their lifespan, but Li Nuo's lifespan was determined by the Law Code, so whether he studied medicine or not wouldn't change that.
He didn't refuse but simply nodded at Doctor Sun and said, "I do. In fact, I've always wanted to become a member of the Medical School, but I've lacked the opportunity, with no path to enter...
Although he had intentions regarding Medicine King Valley, he couldn't rush things.
Establishing a good relationship with Doctor Sun was a priority.
Doctor Sun was delighted to hear this and said, "How is there no opportunity? If you want to study medicine, I can help you. Come to my Medical Hall, and I'll teach you diagnosis and prescribing. With your medical knowledge, you should quickly find a path...
Although he had his thoughts on other matters, he couldn't rush things.
It was best to let him first experience the pleasure of curing diseases and saving lives, thus growing fond of the Medical School. Handling subsequent matters would be easier.
Since Li Nuo and Doctor Sun started chatting, Zhao Zhiyi and the Minister of Revenue had not been able to interject a single word. Their conversation was all about the Medical School, which they couldn't understand.
Unexpectedly, their discussion ended in such a result.
Zhao Zhiyi couldn't help but worry; would Li Nuo really be swayed by Doctor Sun to study medicine?
She looked at Li Nuo, who was already preparing to go to the Medical Hall with Doctor Sun.
As they were about to leave the Embassy, Li Nuo turned back to look at Zhao Zhiyi and winked at her.
Zhao Zhiyi understood immediately, revealing a slight smile.
...
Li Nuo and Doctor Sun hit it off instantly, and at his enthusiastic invitation, he decided to go learn at his Medical Hall immediately.
Entering the path of medicine is easy, cultivation is not.
After thoroughly reading basic medical books and beginning formal practice, within a few months to a year, True Qi of the Medical School naturally starts to develop within.
If, after such a long time, one cannot even enter the path, it indicates a lack of aptitude for medicine, and it's better to switch careers early.
Doctor Sun's Medical Hall was called Huichun Hall.
The Medical Hall was located in the busiest area of the capital city of Zhao Country, a three-story building with a courtyard. The first floor was for diagnosis and prescription. Besides Doctor Sun, there were usually two other physicians stationed there, both his disciples, possessing cultivation of the Third Realm in the Medical School.
The first three realms of the Medical School only allow one to strengthen the body and extend life.
Upon reaching the Fourth Realm, True Qi undergoes transformation. There's no need for diagnosis and prescription; one can heal others by depleting one's True Qi.
This method allows wounds to heal and diseases to be cured in a very short time.
However, for members of the Medical School, it is a self-sacrificing act.
The difference between the Medical School and the Martial Path lies in that the True Qi of the Martial Path can be continuously generated from the martial artist's meridians, whereas the True Qi of the Medical School is consumable. Once used, it diminishes, and replenishing it is very slow.
Previously, when King Chun had the imperial physicians treat Li Nuo, they were always reluctant.
Therefore, although Huichun Hall was established by members of the Medical School, they still relied on traditional diagnosis and prescription.
If one desired Doctor Sun's True Qi treatment, it wasn't impossible, but it came at a different price. Forget commoners, even wealthy families could be bankrupted by two treatments.
Doctor Sun and Li Nuo entered the Medical Hall. The two physicians who were examining patients immediately stood up respectfully and said, "Master."
Doctor Sun nodded, approached a middle-aged physician, and said, "Gao Yong, stand up. Let him diagnose the next patient."
Upon hearing his master's words, the middle-aged physician obediently stood up and vacated his seat.
However, the patient who just took his seat was somewhat unwilling.
Doctor Gao was of the Third Realm in the Medical School, and it cost one tael of silver just for his diagnosis fee.
He had paid the money, but now he was being attended to by a young new face. Who would be willing?
