Chapter 70: Chapter 70 Studying Medicine

The next day, Lu Zheng woke up feeling refreshed.

He opened his eyes to find Shen Ying lying on her side, supporting her chin with her hand. The thin blanket outlined a graceful curve, and she was gazing at him with fascination.

"What are you looking at?"

"You look good, my lord~"

Lu Zheng gave a slight smile, then as if he suddenly remembered something, he reached into the pile of clothes thrown under the bed and fished out a thin booklet.

"I was in such a hurry yesterday that I forgot about this book."

"What is it?" Shen Ying asked curiously as she took the booklet.

"Taiyin Supreme Grade Soul-Washing Scripture."

This was a trophy Lu Zheng obtained after defeating a Corpse Ghost. The opponent was a favored concubine of the Ye Lan King from the Netherworld, so this cultivation scripture must have come from the Ye Lan King.

Having cultivated the "White Cloud’s Common Refining Qi Scripture," Lu Zheng could now understand this book. As Daoist Mingzhang mentioned, it is a cultivation technique for ghost bodies to absorb Nether Qi and refine the Divine Soul.

Lu Zheng explained the origins of the book to Shen Ying.

"See if it’s useful to you."

Shen Ying’s eyes lit up, and she eagerly flipped through the scripture. The more she read, the more overjoyed her expression became.

"Is it useful?"

"It’s useful!"

Shen Ying nodded repeatedly. "I actually never had a cultivation method, just absorbed Moonlight Essence and Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi instinctively.

My Divine Soul merged with the peach tree on that day, becoming more entangled over the years, inseparable. Although I’m not weak, it’s hard to leave this place.

If I succeed in cultivating this scripture, I can cleanse my Divine Soul, merging only with the Peach Tree Essence, split my soul from my body, and break free from these confines."

"Where does the Nether Qi come from?"

"The old peach tree’s roots reach deep underground, where Yin Qi is abundant, and can connect the two realms, linking to the Netherworld and absorbing Nether Qi."

"Oh, that’s good then!"

"It’s more than just good. Because I’m merged with the peach tree, my soul body can also accept Moonlight Essence and Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, so I have more paths available."

"That’s good."

Shen Ying was overjoyed, placing the booklet on the bedside, then reached out to hug Lu Zheng, her peach blossom eyes full of allure.

"My lord, for the kindness of imparting the Dao, how can I thank you!"

"You’ve already given yourself to me, how else can you thank me?" Lu Zheng teased.

Shen Ying smirked and then slowly leaned down, slipping under the covers.

"Hiss—" Lu Zheng couldn’t help but take a sharp breath, "Didn’t you say we should, hiss—"

...

By the time the sun was high, Lu Zheng came out supporting his waist.

"My lord, you should go back now, and don’t come for at least half a month. I’m worried I won’t be able to, I mean, I need to focus on cultivation."

"Cultivation is good, you should cultivate, I need to cultivate more too." Lu Zheng sighed.

However, saying he was going back, Lu Zheng still had a meal in Taohua Village before hurrying back to Tonglin County.

"I’ve been a bit too indulgent in a soft embrace lately, can’t do that, must cultivate!"

"As the saying goes, a soft embrace is the hero’s grave. Must work hard in cultivation, can’t waste time on romantic entanglements!"

"I must cultivate! I must strive!"

"Light of Fortune, consume!"

"Buzz!"

After finishing his cultivation...

Lu Zheng: ╮(﹀_﹀")╭

Having consumed five strands of the Light of Fortune, reaching the adaptation period again, indeed finished cultivation, Lu Zheng felt quite helpless.

"Forget it, continue cultivating, pass through the adaptation period quickly, and continue to improve cultivation level soon."

Lu Zheng spent the whole afternoon sitting in meditation in the backyard, cultivating Qi and Spirit.

...

The next day, continued cultivating.

"Lu Lang."

Liu Qingyan arrived, "Lu Lang, the day before yesterday you said you wanted to learn medical skills, were you serious?"

After a pause, Liu Qingyan added, "Actually, you don’t need to go too deep, just learn the basics and how to use Qi sensitivity for needles, and it will be enough to handle usual matters."

Although Lu Zheng said he wanted to learn medicine, making Liu Qingyan very happy because she felt they had another common interest and pursuit. However, now that Lu Zheng had succeeded in Qi refining and dual cultivation in Daoist and martial arts, she also worried that learning medicine might affect his cultivation.

"Of course!" Lu Zheng nodded repeatedly.

The day before, he had witnessed Liu Qingyan’s needle technique. Even though his Blood Qi helped, the skill was still extraordinary.

Although Lu Zheng had never been exposed to traditional Chinese medicine, he didn’t know if it could have such magical effects.

Moreover, having succeeded in cultivation, adding to the effectiveness of medical skills and needle techniques, and if he succeeded in medicine, he could also help his parents with some care when returning home for New Year.

It’s an advantageous endeavor without any drawbacks, so naturally, Lu Zheng was willing.

As for Liu Qingyan’s concern about distraction?

Hehe!

Seeing that Lu Zheng was willing, Liu Qingyan’s face lit up with a smile, "Lu Lang is naturally gifted, you’ll surely learn it quickly."

"Where should we start?"

Liu Qingyan gently took out two booklets from her sleeve, "We’ll start with ’Internal Viscera Theory’ and ’Hundred Acupoints Atlas,’ as they are the foundation for learning medicine and needle technique."

Ah, the books were ready!

Lu Zheng invited Liu Qingyan into the study room, Uncle Li served them tea, and then discreetly left.

At the start of the lesson, Liu Qingyan was a bit shy, but then gradually got into the flow.

She explained deeply yet simply, her insights penetrating deeply.

Liu Qingyan taught the two foundational works with great detail, appearing to be a natural teacher.

Lu Zheng, having just graduated not long ago, hadn’t yet lost his learning ability. With the Light of Fortune enhancing his focus, he dedicated himself and progressed rapidly.

The afternoon passed in an atmosphere that was initially ambiguous and then became earnestly intense.

"That’s all for today."

As dusk approached, Liu Qingyan also stopped her teachings and pushed the two books to Lu Zheng, "Lu Lang, if you have time, take a look."

"Alright." Lu Zheng took the booklets and then asked, "Continue tomorrow?"

"I usually don’t have much to do at home, so if Lu Lang is free, I’ll come again." Liu Qingyan said softly after pursing her lips.

Lu Zheng thought for a moment, "I really don’t know if I’ll be busy tomorrow. How about this, it’s not nice to always have you come to my house, if I’m free, I’ll come to visit and learn, will that work?"

Liu Qingyan shyly smiled and unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, "I’m not worthy of the words ’seek learning’; if you’re free, just come."

In truth, even though they were in love, having her visit every day wasn’t easy for a young lady. Now that Lu Zheng agreed to visit her, it also allowed her to relax.

It seems Lu Zheng’s luck was good, managing to display a gentlemanly behavior without revealing secrets unintentionally.

After escorting Liu Qingyan home, Lu Zheng returned and felt inspired, once again looking at the two fundamental medical books.

However, Lu Zheng didn’t immediately use the Light of Fortune to aid his learning.

Studying medicine wasn’t urgent; with Liu Qingyan’s guidance, it would be best to learn the basics first, read various medical books, and then enhance his knowledge for better results.

Otherwise, consuming a strand of the Light of Fortune just to memorize these basic books perfectly would be quite wasteful.
