#247 - Chapter 247 Studying Medicine

In the dungeon of the Hongmen, Zhong He was imprisoned alone in a dim cell. Though he was bound tightly, his eyes still shone with unyielding light.

Cheng Feng would occasionally visit him, trying to sway this master of Blood Refinement Completion with words and conditions, but Zhong He remained unmoved, sticking to his principles.

"Zhong He, you and I both know that in this chaotic world, an individual's strength is ultimately limited. Join the Hongmen, and we can do more meaningful things together." Cheng Feng's tone was sincere, but Zhong He merely sneered in silence.

Cheng Feng knew that subduing Zhong He was not a task that could be accomplished overnight, but he had patience and confidence.

After arranging his own life and that of the Hongmen, Cheng Feng's target was the Spirit Formula Dao's inherited secret manual. It just so happened to have methods for controlling people. If Zhong He still refused to submit by then, he could serve as Cheng Feng's test subject.

Meanwhile, in the north of the city, the integration of the Blood Wolf Gang was a foregone conclusion, and a new reshuffling of power was quietly underway. Cheng Feng and Wei Zhuang were moving step by step towards their goals, and the future of the Hongmen was gradually becoming clear in their hands.

Yonghe Hall.

Cheng Feng went straight in to find the old shopkeeper, he still remembered enough medical skills to learn a thing or two!

He also had the Ghost Doctor's Book, and he hadn't systematically studied the Needle Purgatory Technique!

Cheng Feng skillfully passed through the bustling hall of the clinic, his heart filled with tranquility, as if the outside world's clamor was isolated away.

His pace was neither hurried nor slow, each step revealing determination and resolve, heading straight for the study in the backyard, which was filled with a faint medicinal fragrance. The old shopkeeper was buried in ancient books, his silver hair speckled, but his eyes were exceptionally sharp, as if able to see through the mysteries of the world.

"Young Cheng, why do you have time to visit my Yonghe Hall today?" The old shopkeeper looked up, a gentle smile on his lips, his eyes flashing with a hint of anticipation.

Cheng Feng bowed slightly, respectfully saying, "Shopkeeper, I sincerely seek to learn medical skills, and hope you can give me some guidance."

Upon hearing that he was being asked to teach medical skills, the old shopkeeper shook his head like a rattle drum: "This livelihood is really not easy to teach.

Moreover, learning medicine is difficult. Starting from the basics, one needs to understand the theoretical knowledge of Yin-Yang and the Five Elements, the Six Qi of the Five Evolutions, and also master the basic medical knowledge of physiology and pathology. These all require long-term study and practice to master.

Learning medicine also requires good memory and thinking ability, to be able to understand and apply medical theoretical knowledge, and apply it to practice.

In short, learning Chinese medicine requires a lot of time and energy, requires a strong interest and enthusiasm, and also requires a certain talent and comprehension.

Seeing that you came to buy tonic pills before, it seems that you have a considerable fortune, why bother learning this?"

Cheng Feng didn't speak, but silently took out the prepared "Needle Purgatory Technique", placed it on the table, and then sighed and said, "I have a medical needle technique here, but I really can't understand it. Please help me, old man. I sincerely want to learn medicine. Can this be my tuition?"

As soon as the old shopkeeper heard about the medical needle technique, he became interested. He quickly picked up the "Needle Purgatory Technique" and carefully flipped through it. After a while, his hands trembled with excitement, and he muttered to himself, "This, this needle technique... is so precious!"

He looked up at Cheng Feng, his eyes flashing with excitement. He said to Cheng Feng, "This needle technique! Its value far exceeds the tuition you paid. However, since you want to learn medicine so much, I will shamelessly accept this needle technique as tuition. But, you must promise me that you will study medicine well and not waste this opportunity."

Cheng Feng was overjoyed when he heard this, and nodded repeatedly in agreement. He knew that he had obtained a rare opportunity, and he must seize it well. He immediately made all kinds of guarantees.

The old shopkeeper couldn't put down the needle technique. When he heard Cheng Feng's guarantee, he didn't care whether it was true or not.

He immediately got up and took out two yellowed booklets from the depths of the bookshelf. The cover was written in seal script with the four characters "Acupuncture Atlas", the handwriting simple and powerful. "This is what I have drawn over the years of practicing medicine. Although it is not as exquisite as the "Needle Purgatory Technique", it can be used as the foundation for your entry. First master the meridians and acupoints of the human body, and then talk about the method of applying needles. In addition, there is also a "Miscellaneous Treatise on Drugs" that you can also take and look at to increase your knowledge."

Cheng Feng took the booklet with both hands, and a warm current surged in his heart. The old shopkeeper gave it to him, obviously placing high hopes on him!

Cheng Feng looked at the old shopkeeper gratefully, his eyes flashing with a firm light, and said, "Thank you for your guidance, shopkeeper, I will definitely not disappoint your expectations." After speaking, Cheng Feng bowed deeply to the old shopkeeper to show his respect.

The old shopkeeper nodded with satisfaction, a gratified smile on his face. He gently patted Cheng Feng on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Good boy, work hard. Remember, although medicine seems ordinary, the mysteries it contains are endless. As long as you understand it with your heart, you will surely gain something."

Then, the old shopkeeper suddenly narrowed his eyes, looked at Cheng Feng with a half-smile, and asked, "Why do you still call me shopkeeper?"

Cheng Feng was so clever that he immediately understood what the old shopkeeper meant. He followed the slope and bowed respectfully, saying loudly, "Greetings, Master!"

The old shopkeeper laughed and stroked his beard, nodding in satisfaction and said, "Good! From now on, you will be my disciple."

In the following days, Cheng Feng almost completely immersed himself in the study of medicine. During the day, he helped in the clinic, identifying medicines, observing patients, and learning how to apply needles;

At night, before the great battle with the women, he used the faint candlelight to study "Miscellaneous Treatise on Drugs" and "Acupuncture Atlas", and also looked at "Ghost Doctor's Book" and "Needle Purgatory Technique", only seeking to understand and read them thoroughly. Sometimes his brows were furrowed, sometimes he suddenly saw the light, and he often gained something from the comparison.

In this way, he ran the two points on a line for two months. His serious state made the old master praise him, and his rapid progress surprised even the old shopkeeper.

More importantly, the "Needle Purgatory Technique" skill finally appeared on the panel, and this time, Cheng Feng finally got a skill for himself.

Learning medicine, being a doctor, can save lives at certain times.

The five hundred fortune points accumulated over two months were directly added to the "Needle Purgatory Technique".

Needle Purgatory Technique: (Master 100/200)

Making the Needle Purgatory Technique skill directly become his trump card skill.

Cheng Feng also carefully considered that in the current Qingxi County, his strength is not bad, but he has no life-saving ability at all.

And medical skill is his fastest life-saving method, not to mention acupuncture, acupoint tapping and needle pricking, which can save lives when unpredictable things happen.

Cheng Feng is trying to build himself into a person without weaknesses, so that he can go out and venture.
