334: Chapter 334 The Inheritance of the Medicine King 334: Chapter 334 The Inheritance of the Medicine King “Senior, there is no need for such humility.

In the history of traditional Chinese Medicine, you have already reached the pinnacle,” Qin Han said lightly.

“Has no one reached the realm of Medical Sovereign even now?” the elder asked blankly.

Qin Han shook his head and replied, “The realm of the Medical Sovereign is extremely difficult to attain.

This isn’t about martial prowess, it’s about the sublimation of medical skills!”

“Though its name might sound similar to that of martial arts, medical skills can’t be attained merely through hard work and innate talent alone; there are too many external conditions.”

“What defines a Doctor?” the elder asked again.

But when Qin Han looked at the elder, he noticed that the elder seemed somewhat anxious.

“The great Doctor heals nations, the average Doctor heals people, and the lesser Doctor heals the disease; this is the essence of the medical path.”

“As a Doctor, one must care for all people under the heavens, show compassion, and treat illness.

“Medicine must focus on the person, and a Doctor must possess noble moral sentiments!” Qin Han said slowly.

The elder nodded and said, “Right, right!

What is benevolent skill?”

Qin Han thought for a moment, then said:

“The way of medicine, when used by a gentleman, seeks to preserve health and, furthermore, to aid the world; therefore, it’s called benevolent skill.”

“Life is of the utmost value, worth more than a thousand gold, to save just one life is to possess virtue beyond this.”

“Whenever a great Doctor treats a disease, they must calm the spirit and resolve the will, be free of desire, and first cultivate a heart of immense compassion and hidden kindness, vowing to universally relieve the suffering of sentient beings.

Furthermore, it is said: ‘Therefore, those who study must extensively understand the origins of medicine, be diligent and tireless; they should not rely on hearsay, claiming to comprehend the medical path and deeply mislead themselves.'”

“As a Doctor, one must adhere to ‘human-centered’ principles, always consider the patient’s perspective, not only extensively and deeply explore the principles of medicine, ‘excellence’ in superb medical skills, ‘sincerity’ in high moral character, possess a compassionate and sympathetic heart, and have the benevolent disposition to universally rescue sentient beings”

“If someone with an ailment seeks help, one must not ask about their status, wealth, age, beauty or ugliness, enemy or friend, cultural background or intelligence.

One should treat them all the same, cherish each like family, not shun difficulty or hardship, nor look ahead for personal gain or misfortune.

One must wholeheartedly protect and care for the patient, thereby being worthy of the title of a great Doctor.”

“To relieve people’s pain, warm their hearts, people have no hierarchy of nobility or lowliness; regardless of their status or position, treat them equally, neither humbly nor arrogantly.

‘Seeing another’s distress as if it were your own,’ sincerely considering the patient’s needs.”

The elder nodded and said, “Can you, then, be called a great Doctor?”

“I cannot!

My medical path is not yet complete!” Qin Han shook his head as he replied.

“Young friend, how can your medical path be considered complete?” the elder asked, now addressing Qin Han as a young friend rather than a young man.

Gazing profoundly at the elder, Qin Han paused to reflect before asking, “What defines a good Doctor?

Please enlighten me, senior!”

“Goodness is virtue; a Doctor, the path.”

“Only when one has both noble medical ethics and brilliant medical skills, can they be considered a good Doctor, balancing both virtue and talent.”

“Traditional Chinese medicine was established by the ancient sages who observed the heavens, the earth, and humanity.

Thus, to study traditional Chinese medicine, one must first understand the wisdom of the ancient sages, then comprehend the way of heaven and earth.

Through repeated clinical practice, one’s medical skills will naturally improve.

Moreover, with moral cultivation, one can attain both skillfulness in the craft and thickness in virtue, thus becoming a good Doctor.”

The elder spoke slowly, looking at Qin Han with a hint of admiration in his gaze, perhaps as an appreciation for Qin Han’s ability to ask such a question.

After all, some people, no matter how you guide or teach them, never realize where their own deficiencies lie!

“What truly makes a good Doctor?” Qin Han asked once more.

This time, the elder did not immediately reply to Qin Han; he, too, fell into deep thought.

After a long pause, he finally said:

“Strictly speaking, the cure rate is key.”

“The cure rate depends on the Doctor’s skill and ethics.”

“Though diseases are complex, if we strengthen humanistic care, even difficult-to-treat illnesses might be cured as patients develop positive beliefs and hopes, because a good Doctor gives patients comfort and confidence, and these positive energies can facilitate recovery.”

“On the contrary, even if the medical skills are exceptional, if one speaks harshly, it can cause the patient to become heartbroken and fall into pessimism and despair.

Therefore, a truly good Doctor must have a high cure rate.”

“So, to judge whether a Doctor is qualified, one should look at the cure rate!”

The elder, after finishing his words, looked at Qin Han with some relief and said, “Young friend, your medical skills are actually complete; it’s just an obsession in your heart that remains.”

“A true doctor possesses not only superb medical skills, but also a high standard of medical ethics, which is the moral emotion and duty a Doctor carries in their heart towards their patients.

If one does not become a great minister, then let them become a great doctor and thus achieve moral integrity, meritorious deeds, and an esteemed reputation!”

“However, Doctors are also human and have their own emotions, desires, and senses.

Therefore, it is normal for us to lose our temper with some patients; it does not mean that as Doctors we need to always suppress our feelings, putting the patients’ welfare above everything.”

“Act as you wish, so long as you can do so with a clear conscience, treating patients without reservation, then you are a good Doctor.”

Qin Han felt as if something in his mind had suddenly unraveled, giving rise to a flash of enlightenment.

He stood there for a long time without speaking.

Seeing that Qin Han had fallen into contemplation, the elder did not disturb him, but there was an almost imperceptible anxiety in his eyes.

“I have learned my lesson!”

Finally, Qin Han gave a salute to the elder and spoke.

“Our lineage finally has a successor, which is indeed a great fortune.

My heart is greatly comforted!”

“Young friend, I shall take my leave!”

After he finished speaking, the elder who had been in front of Qin Han disappeared, and Qin Han realized that he was standing in front of the niche, having just opened it with one hand.

“We can’t wait any longer.

It’s been ten minutes already.

What if Mr.

Qin is in danger?” the voice of Zhong Yuanliang came from behind Qin Han.

Qin Han turned around and saw that Zhong Yuanliang and his two companions were standing at the doorway, looking at him anxiously.

Hadn’t they just fainted?

“I’m fine!” Qin Han said.

“Mr.

Qin can move now, everything is back to normal,” Liu Wan Nian said with a sigh of relief.

Qin Han nodded and said, “There’s nothing wrong inside; you can come in now.”

When they reached Qin Han’s side, Sun Pinghui said with concern, “Qin lad, what happened just now?”

“We saw you suddenly walk into the tomb chamber, open the niche, and then just stand there talking to yourself.”

“What exactly happened?”

Qin Han said with a smile, “What if I told you that I met the Medicine King, would you believe me?”

“What are you joking about?

We were watching the whole time!” Sun Pinghui said irritably.

Liu Wan Nian also spoke up, “Yes, Mr.

Qin, we didn’t see anyone else!”

“Could it be?”

Zhong Yuanliang gave Liu Wan Nian a sidelong glance.

This old man always spoke cryptically, which was incredibly annoying, and asked, “Could it be what?

Can’t you just stop beating around the bush?”

“Could it be an illusion created by a mechanism within the ancient tomb?”

Qin Han nodded and said, “It should have been an illusion because I saw all three of you had passed out.

But the illusion wasn’t led by the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams, it was medicinal.”

“I smelled the scent of the other shore flower in the niche just now.”

“This Medicine King is truly remarkable, not only in his medical and poison skills but in his control over human nature, which is ultimate.

If I had been at all careless just now, I might have been forever lost in the illusion of pursuing the path of medicine.”

“In other words, I might have thought I was perfectly normal, but to the outside world, I would have already been a vegetable!”

Qin Han said this with a sense of fear.
