Pulse Methods and the Pulse Classic

The Medical School had a method called "Pulse Methods," while the Suspended Gourd Sect called it the "Pulse Classic."

Both studied the acupoints throughout the body, covering all one hundred and eight thousand.

Although their contents differed, their core was the same.

One was an inheritor of the Medical School, and the other was the heir to the Suspended Gourd Sect. If their factions had not held different ideals, and their members had not been so scattered that the two lacked real authority over their schools, Chunyu Tiying and Zheng Wukong would have been no different from the heads of other schools.

Even Zhang Xuezhou could not help marveling that Chang'an City was a place of hidden dragons and crouching tigers.

Chunyu Tiying was one thing, but even the neighbor of the residence he had bought was the head of a school, and held its orthodox inheritance to boot.

Thanks to Chunyu Tiying's entreaties and Zhang Xuezhou being his neighbor, Zheng Wukong ultimately did not withhold the Suspended Gourd Sect's "Pulse Classic."

"In each breath in and out lies breathing practice. Our Suspended Gourd Sect does not emphasize fighting with techniques, but rather fine control. We can use techniques on patients to remove the source of an illness..."

The acupoints involved in Zhang Xuezhou's case numbered sixty-seven, while the subsidiary points involved numbered 20,100. This was an enormous number, and his cultivation realm made it difficult for his Law Power to reach many of them.

To produce a precise treatment for his condition, the two schools had to compare their findings and corroborate them against each other, reducing the number of unstudied points as much as possible.

Chunyu Tiying provided explanations, and so did Zheng Wukong.

The two factions also had different medical methods for guiding power through the acupoints.
