Chapter 35

Seeing Du Zhong's surprise, Old Qin gave a mysterious smile:

"It will tell you how to advance in the ancient medical arts and the Zhusong techniques. You don't think that your current level is the highest in the ancient medical arts, do you?"

Du Zhong indeed thought so; the current level was already so high that it was hard to believe.

"According to the Qin family records, the Du family no longer has this lineage, but we the Qin family still do. After you come tomorrow afternoon, you will know everything!"

"Aren't you afraid I might be deceiving you?"

Du Zhong looked at Old Qin with doubt.

Old Qin laughed heartily and said loudly, "The Qin family's ancestral teachings state that without virtue, one cannot awaken, and without life, one cannot practice Zhusong! Although the Zhusong techniques originated from the ancient medical arts, fundamentally, they are the same. Those with poor virtue cannot obtain the lineage!"

"Since you have obtained the lineage, do I need to say anything about your virtue?"

Du Zhong smiled slightly, then his heart stirred as he asked with doubt, "What is 'awakening'?"

"The Du family has indeed lost a lot!"

Looking at the puzzled Du Zhong, Old Qin sighed lightly and said with emotion.

Du Zhong remained silent, waiting quietly for Old Qin's explanation.

"The ancient medical arts and the Zhusong techniques are divided into six levels: Awakening, Transformation, Distance, Application, Moon, and Pure Yang!"

"Your current level is just at the Awakening stage, where you can diagnose hidden illnesses and use various techniques from the ancient medical arts!"

"Once you reach the Transformation stage, it's not just about saving lives; you can even kill without a trace! At this level, you can directly transfer your own pain to others or objects, and also transfer a patient's pain to other objects or people! This means you can directly extract diseases from the body!"

Du Zhong's eyes immediately sparkled with excitement!

Can pain be directly transferred?

If you reach that level, wouldn't there be no incurable diseases in the world?

This is just the first level above Awakening, and there are still four more levels. How terrifying would they be?!

"Next is the Distance level, as the name suggests, there is no distance. At this level, there is no spatial distance from the patient. Even if they are a thousand miles away, you can diagnose and treat them using powerful sensing abilities!"

Du Zhong was completely stunned.

Treating patients from a thousand miles away?

Does such an ability really exist in this world?

Even with his strong mental fortitude, he was thoroughly amazed!

Old Qin smiled at the stunned Du Zhong and said, "I won't introduce the remaining three levels one by one. You can read them yourself tomorrow. Their power is beyond what ordinary people can imagine!"

"Throughout history, reaching the third level is already the pinnacle for mortals! The Du family and the Qin family have had very few who reached this level!"

"The last three levels can be called divine. At the fourth level, the Du family had only one person, and the Qin family had none!"

"Beyond that, no one has ever reached it from ancient times to the present!"

"For these six levels, I only have a verbal understanding because the Qin family's lineage has been lost, and I cannot personally experience the true meaning of these six levels."

"So..."

Old Qin looked at Du Zhong and encouraged him, "Du Zhong, you must work hard!"

His words were filled with expectation!

Du Zhong nodded heavily.

Although he had obtained the lineage, he had always been in a daze, knowing nothing beyond the techniques recorded in his mind.

Only now did he realize that the ancient medical arts had so many levels!

Thinking about the increasingly powerful future as he continuously improves, a glimmer of anticipation appeared in Du Zhong's eyes.

He was even more eager to learn about the long-lost things left by the Qin family that Old Qin mentioned.

After chatting for a while, it was time to leave, and Du Zhong left Old Qin's clinic.

After Du Zhong left, Old Qin hurriedly locked the clinic door and returned to an old, dilapidated house in a deep alley.

The Qin family ancestral hall!

"Ancestors above, I, Qin Kaiyuan, am unworthy and have failed to honor you!"

Old Qin "thumped" to his knees before the ancestral tablets, tears streaming down his face.

"Today, the Qin family has only me left, living at the age of eighty! My days in this world are numbered! The wish to pass on the Zhusong techniques cannot be realized!"

Looking up at the tablets, Old Qin's eyes welled up with tears as he said, "Fortunately, heaven has blessed the Qin family! Heaven has blessed the Zhusong techniques! I cannot pass them on, but I have found another way to pass on the Qin family's Zhusong techniques!"

Du Zhong's figure immediately appeared in Old Qin's mind.

That figure was the best choice!

"Our family's Zhusong techniques originated from the ancient medical arts, and they are of the same root!"

When he said "same root," Old Qin stood up slightly trembling and bowed deeply to the tablets.

"Since they are of the same root, they should be united!"

"From today on, I, Qin Kaiyuan, will do my utmost to cultivate Du Zhong, the inheritor of the Du family's ancient medical arts, to bring the Zhusong techniques and the ancient medical arts back to the world and make them flourish!"

Old Qin, ignoring the tears on his face, spoke with firm resolve and determination.

Passing on the Zhusong techniques!

For generations, the Qin family's wish for hundreds of years is finally about to be realized in his hands, although in a different form, it doesn't matter.

The Zhusong techniques are for all people, not just the Qin family!

Whether they are surnamed Qin, Du, or anything else, it doesn't matter!

As long as they can be passed on!

Old Qin couldn't help but tremble, his eyes brimming with tears, seeing only Du Zhong's figure before him.

He is the last hope of the Qin family.

The hope of the Zhusong techniques.

The fundamental way to bring the Zhusong techniques back and the only person who can make the ancient medical arts shine again!

"Many years have passed, and the ancestors' wishes are finally about to be fulfilled!"

Old Qin took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement, and said with a bitter tone, "The descendants are unworthy and cannot personally fulfill the ancestors' wishes, but he can!"

"Since we are of the same family, I believe the ancestors would also hope to see this outcome!"

"When the Zhusong techniques return to their roots and the ancient medical arts flourish, the descendants will surely come to fulfill the ancestors' wishes!"

After saying this, Old Qin wiped away his tears and turned to leave the ancestral hall!

"I hope I can live to see that day..."

A sigh drifted in the wind...

...

The next afternoon, the weather was sunny and pleasant.

After leading the security team through their training, Du Zhong came to Old Qin's clinic with great anticipation.

"You're here!"

Seeing Du Zhong, Old Qin's face immediately broke into a smile.

"Are you not seeing patients today?"

Du Zhong bowed to Old Qin and asked.

On his way, he noticed that the hallway was empty, and even in Old Qin's clinic, there was only Old Qin.

"No."

At Old Qin's invitation, Du Zhong came to the desk and sat down opposite Old Qin.

Old Qin opened the desk drawer and took out an ancient book.

The book was already yellowed, exuding a strong sense of ancient and mysterious aura.

"This is what I told you about yesterday, what your Du family lost and what my Qin family has preserved."

"Take a good look!"

Old Qin handed the ancient book to Du Zhong.

Du Zhong, full of anticipation, took it and carefully opened the pages to read.

The first few pages were almost the same as what Old Qin had said the day before, clearly detailing what could be achieved at each level.

Du Zhong focused on the last three levels!

Flipping to the "Application" level, Du Zhong was stunned by what he read.

"Application!"

"Those who reach this level can use all things in the world as tools and all things as medicine! They understand the medicinal properties of all things and can use them at will!"

Du Zhong stared at the text, his shock lingering for a long time.

He knew that whether in traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine, drugs are an essential part. Except for a few treatment methods that use minimal drugs, such as acupuncture, most medical techniques rely on drug treatment.

While some diseases can be treated with energy spells or hand seals, many real diseases require drugs!

If, as the ancient book states, all things in the world can be used as medicine, what kind of scene would that be?

A withered blade of grass could save a terminally ill patient!

A piece of wood could cure a fatal illness!

This would truly be a divine doctor!

But this is only the fourth level!

The next two...

Du Zhong eagerly flipped through the pages and immediately read the detailed explanation of the fifth level.

"Union with the Moon!"

"The moon represents yin. Those who reach this level understand the essence of yin and can transform the yin in all things in the world, restoring the body's positive energy!"

Reading this, Du Zhong's pupils rapidly constricted!

The "Huangdi Neijing" (Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon) states: "When positive energy is present within, evil cannot invade!"

To treat diseases, one must supplement positive energy and remove evil energy. The first four levels are about supplementing the body's positive energy to awaken it and overcome evil energy.

But what does this record mean?

It means that there is no need to increase positive energy; with a flip of the hand, one can directly transform the evil energy in the body and the world, allowing positive energy to persist!

It also means that the most toxic substances in the world, which are yin in nature, can be easily neutralized!

This means that at this level, one will never fall ill, and all yin-related diseases in the world can be treated!

Du Zhong felt his heart rate accelerate. He hadn't experienced this feeling for three years, even in dangerous situations during missions, his heart rate never changed.

But today, his heart rate accelerated!

It's easy to imagine how profound the impact was on him!

Du Zhong calmed his mind and slowly turned to the last page, the final level.

But when he saw the detailed explanation of "Pure Yang," he was completely stunned. A few simple lines made him forget to continue reading!

"Pure Yang!"

"The source of all things comes from the sun, which is the evolution of the sun. Without the sun's light, nothing can live, and people cannot be nourished. At this level, one harmonizes with the virtues of heaven and earth, the order of the sun and moon, and can directly harness the power of the sun. Wherever the sun's light reaches, one's thoughts can also reach, and all diseases can be treated and cured!"

In other words, all energy on Earth comes from the sun. The food we eat is converted from the sun's energy, and the oxygen we breathe is also converted from the sun's energy. Without the sun, life on Earth would be impossible.

Once one reaches the Pure Yang level, they can understand the essence of the sun's energy and use it to treat diseases without any distance limitations. Whether the patient is anywhere on Earth or even in the solar system, as long as the sun's light can reach, one can treat and save lives without regard for distance!

Du Zhong was thoroughly amazed.
