After half a day, she hadn’t encountered any unfathomable pulses; however, in prescribing dicine, there was still much to improve upon, which Doctor Du pointed out one by one, to her great benefit.
By the afternoon, there were not many patients left in the clinic. Doctor Du took a breather, looking contented, and said to Mo Yan, "Your talent for dicine is even higher than I had imagined. But, to have reached this level in just one year’s ti shows you’ve been diligent in your studies every day. Seeing you like this, I am very happy."
Mo Yan felt sowhat ashad, and said humbly, "It’s because Master teaches well. Otherwise, it would be impressive if your disciple could simply recognize all those herbs."
Her words were not entirely flattery. Since Doctor Du took Mo Yan as his apprentice and spared no effort in teaching her everything he knew, it wouldn’t be an overstatent. Coupled with the "Space," a ti-cheating device, she had a lot of ti to study dical techniques, and with the help of Xue tuanzi, it would have been impossible to reach this level in just one year even if she had two more heads.
Doctor Du was pleased with Mo Yan’s humility. He took out a thin book from the drawer and handed it to Mo Yan, "It’s good that you can keep arrogance and impatience at bay. Go ho and thoroughly understand this book. Once you have identified all the acupuncture points on the human body, Master will pass on to you ’Mrs. Du’s Nine Needles.’"
Mrs. Du’s Nine Needles?
Mo Yan was stunned. Having studied dicine under her master for such a long ti, she knew well that his true prowess did not lie in his dical skills, but in the unique art of acupuncture passed down through the Du Family for centuries—Mrs. Du’s Nine Needles.
Although Mrs. Du’s Nine Needles had not reached the unbelievable level of bringing the dead back to life, it could prolong the life of those on the brink of death. For instance, if soone’s major artery was severed, they would die from excessive blood loss if the bleeding wasn’t stopped in ti.
However, the dical techniques and equipnt of this era were far less advanced than in her forr life; if a person’s major artery was severed, common thods and even the best dicines couldn’t stop the gushing blood, and one could only watch helplessly as the person bled out to death. If, by chance, one encountered soone skilled in Mrs. Du’s Nine Needles, they could use acupuncture to stop the bleeding first, then treat the wound, perhaps saving a life.
Aside from so itinerant doctors with poor dical skills, any doctor competent enough to run a clinic had decent dical expertise, and being skilled in acupuncture was not a surprise, although the skill level could vary greatly.
Mrs. Du’s Nine Needles was gradually developed by several generations of Du Family ancestors. Without boasting that this acupuncture technique was invincible under the heavens, it was at least unmatched within the region of Jing City.
Mo Yan had privately compared Mrs. Du’s Nine Needles with Doctor Gui’s acupuncture techniques and felt that Doctor Gui’s skills should be superior to Mrs. Du’s Nine Needles, which resulted in Xuetuan teasing her for quite a while.
It was then that she learned her master was a true but hidden Master Xinglin. However, his family t with a great disaster because of his dical skills, resulting in a shattered family and lost lives. Since then, the master had lost his warmth towards the world, hiding his identity and opening a clinic in Jing City to treat common illnesses. Over decades, he never perford Mrs. Du’s Nine Needles, which gradually beca a legend within the dical World.
Mo Yan knew that her master was training her as his true successor. Without any false modesty, she imdiately took the dical book detailing human acupuncture points and said solemnly, "Master, rest assured. Your disciple will study diligently and will one day spread the fa of Mrs. Du’s Nine Needles."
"Very good, very good, very good!" Doctor Du exclaid with excitent, saying "good" thrice in a row, looking more and more satisfied with his only apprentice, "I believe you can do it. However, I must remind you. Although doctors are likened to parents, the world is not without malicious people. My girl, when you’re treating and saving people, you must also be extra cautious."
Don’t be like your master, who was blind enough to save an ungrateful wretch, who turned on him, leaving him to a lonely half of his life.
