At four o'clock in the morning, Tang Zheng returned to the small rented house. Xu Li, who lived next door, had been asleep for a long time. At this hour, he was probably already in a deep, dreamless sleep.
Tang Zheng was very careful, not turning on the lights or touching anything, feeling his way back to his room. In this regard, Tang Zheng was quite considerate. Living under the same roof, although with the brotherly bond between the two, Ah Li wouldn't say anything, Tang Zheng was still very mindful. Sometimes, one shouldn't let their own affairs affect others' lives.
Sitting on the bed, Tang Zheng looked at the piece of paper in front of him and smiled faintly. He was expelled; from today on, he would be completely separated from Zhonghai Medical University. This was not a big deal; he believed that with the miraculous medical skills in his mind, there was nothing to fear from being expelled. However, more importantly, without the internship grades, he would definitely not get his graduation certificate. This was the issue that Tang Zheng was most concerned about.
Thinking about the miraculous events at the hospital this morning, Tang Zheng felt a burning passion and a surge of excitement.
The miraculous medical skills gave Tang Zheng more confidence. Thinking about the future, he was so happy that he couldn't keep his mouth shut. In his mind, a bright future was unfolding. Money, power, and beauty seemed to be smiling and rushing towards him.
Shaking off this joy, Tang Zheng gradually calmed down. One must eat step by step and handle things one by one. Since the medical skills were useful, the things in his mind must also be useful. By extension, the Yin-Yang Heart Sutra, the most important auxiliary, must also be real.
According to the content in his mind, from the setup by Qibo, those medical skills were like a treasure trove, and the Yin-Yang Heart Sutra was the key to this treasure trove. No matter how many treasures there were, if the key couldn't open it, it would be useless. Medical knowledge was integrated from the beginning. At this moment, Tang Zheng was no less than any master of traditional Chinese medicine in theory. Of course, this was in theory. In the four major skills of traditional Chinese medicine—observation, auscultation and olfaction, inquiry, and palpation—Tang Zheng was a top master in observation, auscultation, and olfaction, even surpassing any level of existence. However, in palpation, Tang Zheng still had a significant disadvantage. More importantly, the Yin-Yang Heart Sutra, which Qibo specifically summarized, was the foundation and root of those miraculous medical skills.
At this moment, Tang Zheng was a theoretical master. He could diagnose and identify any difficult and complex diseases. However, when it came to specific treatments, unless it was just prescribing a few formulas or simple acupuncture, he was helpless with anything that required the use of the Yin-Yang Heart Sutra to assist in treatment.
Now, the most important thing was to practice the Yin-Yang Heart Sutra first. With this as a support, those medical skills could be fully utilized. After all, not all diseases could be treated without true qi. Today's situation might happen again in the future, but it would not be the majority.
At this moment, Tang Zheng was very clear about his positioning. He must not be bound by ordinary diseases. The ones he could handle must be difficult and complex diseases.
Therefore, any tricky diseases, or even those that current science and medicine cannot treat, would be very troublesome. The use of the Yin-Yang Heart Sutra would be more frequent. This was the most important foundation, which must be practiced and mastered.
Thinking about this, Tang Zheng simply took off his shoes, sat cross-legged on the bed, and sat upright. He looked straight ahead, eyes slightly closed, in a very standard practice posture.
Following the mantra of the Yin-Yang Heart Sutra, he focused his eyes on his nose, his nose on his heart. In his mind, he recalled the practice route of the mantra, imagining a flow of qi circulating through his body along the meridians, forming a new circulatory system like the blood circulation system.
After one, two, three rounds... there was no sensation. Instead, his crossed legs felt a bit numb.
After five minutes, ten minutes, forty minutes... there was still no sensation. At this point, his legs were almost numb, and his entire lower body felt tingling.
An hour passed. Tang Zheng opened his eyes in disappointment. An hour of sitting had made his body numb, but there was no sign of the so-called qi sensation. This made Tang Zheng doubt the Yin-Yang Heart Sutra.
Damn it, is Qibo's Yin-Yang Heart Sutra really useful? Did this old man just imagine it out of boredom in his old age?
He stood up, moved his numb legs. At this moment, stepping on the ground felt like floating. After ten minutes, when the blood circulation improved and the numbness disappeared, Tang Zheng sat down again, this time directly on the floor.
This was Tang Zheng's personality—outgoing, optimistic, generous, but also persistent. It was this persistence that allowed him to enter Zhonghai Medical University after dropping out of high school for two years. Two years was enough for many people to forget what they had learned. If Tang Zheng hadn't reviewed his high school knowledge every day for two years, he wouldn't have been able to enter university.
Now, in the practice of the Yin-Yang Heart Sutra, Tang Zheng's persistence was once again evident.
After several more hours, there was still no reaction. Outside, Xu Li's sounds of getting up and washing up could be heard.
He temporarily stopped practicing and walked out of the room. Seeing Tang Zheng, Xu Li was surprised and smiled, "Boss, why didn't you sleep a bit more?"
Looking at Xu Li's hesitant expression, Tang Zheng knew he had been expelled. He could have slept longer.
"Ah Li, what's that look for? Don't worry, I'm not that fragile. It's just a habit. I naturally woke up at this time. Want to go have breakfast together?" Tang Zheng smiled and said.
At a roadside stall, they had a simple breakfast. Xu Li went to work at the hospital, and Tang Zheng returned to the rented house. Once again, he sat cross-legged on the floor and began practicing.
This time, several more hours passed. Calculating carefully, from three o'clock in the morning until now, it was already eleven in the morning. After eight hours, there was still no effect. Not to mention the qi sensation, he didn't even feel a single thing. Instead, his whole body felt sore and aching.
Despite this, Tang Zheng did not lose heart. He believed that since Qibo placed the Yin-Yang Heart Sutra in such an important position, it must not be a joke. The lack of success was just because the practice time was not enough. He sat down again, carefully comprehending the general mantra and the practice route of the Yin-Yang Heart Sutra.
Imagining and focusing his mind, he entered a subtle state. At that moment, in that instant, Tang Zheng felt as if a surge of warm qi rose from his perineum, following the imagined practice route, circulating around his entire body's meridians, completing a large cycle.
At this moment, this clear and real sensation instantly invigorated Tang Zheng. However, just as he became excited, the practice suddenly stopped.
He stood up, clenched his fists in excitement, but suddenly, he realized that his lower body had pitched a tent.
After Little Tang Zheng calmed down, Tang Zheng started practicing again. This time, he found that as soon as he began practicing, his lower body would rise involuntarily.
He stopped, waited for a while, and it would calm down again. As soon as he started practicing, that thing would definitely rise uncontrollably.
This made Tang Zheng puzzled. Could the Yin-Yang Heart Sutra have the effect of enhancing virility? He carefully organized the information in his mind, hoping to find an answer.
Suddenly, Tang Zheng jumped up and roared, "Damn it, is this a joke?"
