My Pretty Campus Queen

Chapter 1242: Chapter 1242: Passing Down Medical Knowledge

"Rest assured, father-in-law, I absolutely won’t." Hao Shuai swore.

"Hmph! It better be that way." Although the Medicine King appeared serious on the surface, he had already accepted Hao Shuai in his heart. So he said, "Xue’Er, that wine is too strong, let’s get a couple of small dishes to wash down the wine."

Xue’Er felt a bit embarrassed after hearing this, but he understood his father’s intention to have Shuai join them for the meal, so he cheerfully said, "Sure, I’ll go right away."

Not long after, Xue’Er brought the food and drinks, and the three were finally able to sit down and eat together peacefully. During the meal, the Medicine King suddenly asked, "So, Shuai, do you like medicine? Are you interested in learning pharmacology from me?"

Since he had already acknowledged this son-in-law, they were family, and it was time to pass on his teachings. However, the Medicine King suddenly worried about whether Hao Shuai had an interest. If he didn’t like it, forcing it wouldn’t help as many things relied on interest and innate understanding.

"Hehe, medicine, huh? Actually, I’m quite curious, but I don’t know if I have the aptitude for it." Hao Shuai said humbly for the first time.

"Heh, as long as you study diligently, nothing is impossible to learn. Besides, seeing your skills earlier, you’re quite strong. So once you master my key Heart Method, these things will come naturally to you."

The Medicine King could tell that Hao Shuai was not an ordinary person, as he was also someone with the strength of the Celestial Dao Seven Stars.

Generally, those who have reached the Celestial Dao Seven Stars have strong comprehension and perception abilities. So if he were to study medicine, it would be perfect because it requires that kind of perception.

In fact, Hao Shuai’s physique is quite formidable. Although he doesn’t have Chen Tianlong’s Five Elements and Seven Attributes, he possesses a reinforced physique of the demon race, highly resistant to toxins and capable of withstanding various attacks from Demonic Qi and Poisonous Qi, which is also characteristic of those who practice the Star Absorption Technique.

"Understood, father-in-law, I will definitely study diligently and not disappoint you."

Hao Shuai had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, so how could he give it up? At this moment, he was overjoyed inside, looked at Xue’Er beside him, and smiled slightly, both understanding each other without words.

After dinner, the three went their separate ways to rest. With his father back, Xue’Er couldn’t blatantly go to Hao Shuai’s room, so he could only look at his Shuai with a wry smile, then went to a different room.

A night passed without words.

The next morning, Hao Shuai got up early, dressed, and went out.

However, as soon as he stepped out, he saw the Medicine King, Wang Yu, standing outside the small house, quietly sensing something. Curious, he slowly walked over.

"Father-in-law, what are you doing?" Hao Shuai asked softly as he approached the Medicine King.

At this moment, the Medicine King suddenly opened his eyes and said to Hao Shuai beside him, "Did you think I was resting? Actually, I’m practicing."

"Practicing?"

Hao Shuai was a bit surprised. What kind of Cultivation Technique was he practicing?

"Yes, exactly, practicing. I’m a healer, and I’m practicing the sensitivity of my various senses." The Medicine King explained.

"Sensitivity?"

Hao Shuai was very surprised. "You even practice that? Isn’t it innate?"

"Ah, Shuai, that’s where you’re wrong. It’s not just innate. A lot of it is cultivated postnatally. As a pharmacist, you need to understand various mountain herbs and their properties." The Medicine King said.

"Moreover, being able to distinguish the color, smell, and taste of various herbs, deeply understand their medicinal properties, as well as some of their toxicities."

"Eh? Toxicity?" Hao Shuai started to show interest upon hearing this.

Wang Yu noticed Hao Shuai’s surprise and smiled, saying, "Medicine can save lives, but it can also kill, depending on how you use it. Some medicines can become poisonous if slightly over-sampled, and some medicines that seem non-toxic can become highly toxic when mixed with another herb."

At this moment, Hao Shuai nodded. He believed this since, back at the Celestial Pill Sect, didn’t that Qiukui also suffer from such a poison?

"Alright, today I’ll teach you my Cultivation Technique ’Poison King’s Scripture.’ I’ll pass on the mantra to you, so listen carefully." The Medicine King had made up his mind to groom Hao Shuai as his successor, fulfilling his long-standing wish.

Seeing the Medicine King so quickly starting to teach him the Secret Manual, Hao Shuai was extremely excited. At the same time, he was also very nervous. His heart was racing as he focused all his attention, fearing he’d miss any key point.

"A hundred poisons come from the heart, attacking poison by cultivating the heart, harming others before oneself, settling in the Dantian, and channeling to the palm..." The Medicine King recited the mantra incessantly, while Hao Shuai nervously took notes.

To be honest, Hao Shuai’s memory was not inferior to Chen Tianlong’s. The entire mantra of over three hundred words was basically memorized after repeating it several times.

"Good, good, excellent. I didn’t expect your memory to be so good, and your comprehension is exceptional." The Medicine King began to praise him.

Just then, a voice called out from the little house, and when the two turned to look, they saw that it was Xue’Er, who had prepared breakfast.

"Dad, Shuai, breakfast is ready. Come and have it while it’s hot." Xue’Er joyfully called out while walking.

The Medicine King thought for a moment and felt that he couldn’t finish teaching in one go, so he said, "Alright, Shuai, Xue’Er, let’s have breakfast first, and then continue later."

The two nodded and went to have breakfast together. Soon, during this leisurely time, the Medicine King planned to teach him all about medical skills, pharmacology, and his own cultivation technique, Poison King’s Scripture, in one go.

"Shuai, to study medicine, you must first understand the major meridians and bones of the human body. Whether applying medicine or poison, it must be precise. Understanding the Eight Extraordinary Meridians will greatly aid you in later practicing the ’Poison King’s Scripture.’ " The Medicine King said.

"So, father-in-law, what should I do next?" Hao Shuai asked.

The Medicine King thought for a moment and suddenly said, "Wait here, I have something to give you."

Saying so, the Medicine King hurriedly went into his house. Shortly after, he emerged with what seemed like a doll.

Seeing the item in the Medicine King’s hand, Hao Shuai was puzzled about what he had brought. When he got closer, he found that it was a wooden doll densely painted with the major meridian points and death acupoints of the human body.

"Shuai, familiarize yourself with the human meridian structure first. This afternoon, we’ll study distinguishing herbs and how to concoct medicine." After saying this, the Medicine King left for his own tasks in the house.

Hao Shuai didn’t delay, thinking that if this would help him become stronger, he wouldn’t miss this opportunity no matter what.

At this moment, he thought of Chen Tianlong and felt a rush of Qi.
