A Flourishing Way of Medicine

After Su Ziyang had been worried for two days, Mr. Mengfei and Yang Tianzheng arrived at his home with smiles on their faces.

Su Ziyang felt a chill run down his spine when he saw the smiles of Mr. Mengfei and Yang Tianzheng.

"My dear disciple, I've gone to great lengths for you on this matter."

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Ziyang saw Yang Tianzheng carrying a large sack into the house.

"What is it? Is it a gift?"

Fairy Li ran over and opened the bag, only to find it full of books.

"Tch, I thought it was a gift for me!"

Mr. Mengfei chuckled, "Girl, go away, don't cause trouble."

Fairy Li pouted, sat back down on the sofa barefoot, and started writing and drawing on her tablet.

"Ziyang, it's like this. You've taken on a disciple, haven't you? Since you're passing on your medical skills, I specially found these books for you, all for your own good."

Mr. Mengfei patted the burlap sack and began to explain with a frown.

"Here are 869 books, including 42 books on herbal medicine, 6 books on drug processing, 11 books on drug properties, 100 books on prescriptions, 26 books on pulse diagnosis, 20 books on syndrome differentiation and treatment, and 5 books on extended interpretations of the Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon, including 18 books on the Spiritual Pivot Basic Questions Wen."

"49 books on typhoid fever, 10 books on the Essential Prescriptions of the Golden Cabinet, 7 books on the Classic of Classic of Difficulties, 13 books on febrile diseases, 73 books on medical theory, 123 books on the Complete Collection of Medical Works, 9 books specifically on meridians, 30 books on acupuncture, 26 books on gynecology, and 13 books on obstetrics."

"33 books on pediatrics, 34 books on surgery, 26 books on ENT, 26 books on carbuncles, boils, rashes, and smallpox, 6 books on wind-related ailments and general weakness, 4 books on procreation, 18 books on health preservation, 88 books by famous doctors, 6 books on miscellaneous and unusual diseases, 16 books on medical anecdotes, 33 medical case studies, and 9 foreign works."

Mr. Mengfei patted the sack and introduced each item one by one. After he finished speaking, he turned around and looked at Yang Tianzheng Yang Tianzheng was holding a book list in his hand.

"That's right, isn't it, Zhengzai?"

Yang Tianzheng nodded and gave Mr. Mengfei a thumbs up.

"Okay, that's good. I'm too lazy to supervise you, I don't have your meticulousness, Master Jin. Anyway, you'd better read the book at least once within four years. I'm leaving now! I'm tired!"

Mr. Mengfei patted Yang Tianzheng Yang Tianzheng on the shoulder, then put his arm around him and left...

Fairy Li dropped the pen in her hand and looked at Su Ziyang in great surprise.

While Mr. Mengfei was introducing the book, Su Ziyang had already started swallowing hard.

"Isn't this special training a bit too intense?!"

Fairy Li realized what was happening, put on her slippers, walked to the door, dragged over the large sack, and began taking the books out one by one.

After tidying up for a while, Fairy Li plopped down on the ground. "I can't take it anymore. Susu Su, I think we need to buy a big bookshelf..."

Fairy Li kept her word and took Su Ziyang to the furniture store that afternoon to order a bookshelf.

The bookshelf was completely full, and with some of Fairy Li's books added, the whole bookshelf looked extremely impressive.

"Susu, you're talking about so many books, when will you ever finish reading them all? You're already very skilled at treating illnesses, I'd say just focus on the essentials. Reading all these books is exhausting!"

Fairy Li jumped off the stool, quite satisfied with the neatly arranged bookshelf she had created.

Su Ziyang picked up a book at random, flipped through it a few times, then put it back and sat in front of the bookshelf, lost in thought.

"I have a great idea. Every night when you go to sleep, put a book under your pillow. Based on the concentration theory, knowledge flows from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration. That way, the knowledge will enter your brain. What do you think!"

Fairy Li patted her chest, then looked at Su Ziyang with a face that clearly said, "Praise me!"

"Great idea. How about I just lie down under the bookshelf?"

Su Ziyang looked at Fairy Li with a wry smile. Fairy Li chuckled and patted Su Ziyang on the back.

"It's okay. Take your time. Great things are achieved step by Qianli. Keep trying! I believe in you! I'll go cook for you. Good luck!"

Su Ziyang never expected that the special training Mr. Mengfei mentioned would be like this.

Haha, keep it up!

The Treatise on Cold Damage and Miscellaneous Diseases was the book that Su Ziyang used to enter the medical field, so Su Ziyang planned to start by studying the Febrile Diseases and the Golden Cabinet Chamber.

In fact, there are many topics regarding the interpretation of typhoid fever, and there are quite a few works that take an unconventional approach, such as "Seal Methods for Cold Damage," which prescribes medicines based on a person's birthday and the date of their illness, thus deviating from medical principles and leaning towards the level of divination.

Or there are titles like "A Handful of Gold on Cold Damage," "River-Blocking Net for Cold Damage," and "The Brake Hammer," which all sound quite strange.

Su Ziyang felt he had never read a book so seriously in his life, but the saying "reading is always beneficial" was truly true.

That's the thing about books. When you have your own insights and then look at other people's insights, it feels like a dialogue across eras.

It's just that it wasn't about exchanging what one has for what one needs; Su Ziyang had simply absorbed the essence of what these people had learned.

Su Ziyang had heard idioms like "never putting down a book" and "rising at the crowing of the rooster" since he was in school, as well as "the lamp burns at midnight and the rooster crows at dawn; this is the time for a man to study."

Back then, Su Ziyang didn't understand whether these people were addicted to reading. But now Su Ziyang understands; they seem to be addicted to reading.

As Su Ziyang became engrossed in reading, he suddenly felt incredibly refreshed, as if he had eaten or drunk something delicious, bringing him immense joy.

"Come on, let's eat and nourish your brain! I made you steamed pig brains."

Fairy Li tirelessly learned to cook all sorts of dishes. Su Ziyang tried the pig brain today and found it to be quite good, giving Fairy Li a thumbs up repeatedly.

"Zijun, I suddenly remembered something. I transferred the rent to the landlord the other day, but she didn't accept it. Then I transferred it again the next day, and she still didn't accept it! Why don't you ask her? Why isn't she answering my calls?"

Upon hearing Su Ziyang's suggestion, Fairy Li was taken aback at first, then nodded. "Okay. I'll ask her after we finish eating and give her a call."

"Okay, that's fine! Oh well, I'll call her again. If you call her later and secretly pay again, I'll feel bad."

Su Ziyang took out his phone to make a call, but Fairy Li jumped up from her chair and grabbed Su Ziyang's hand.

"No need, I'll call for you. I'll ask what happened. Can't you just pay for it yourself? I don't want to give you any money!"

Fairy Li insisted that Su Ziyang not make the call, which made Su Ziyang even more puzzled. It seemed a bit much to call the landlord!

"No, I don't trust you. You're definitely trying to secretly pay for me. I earn quite a bit every month now, don't do this, let me have some sense of responsibility as a man!"
