Chapter 576 - 467: Treatise on Cold Pathogenic and Warm Pathogenic Diseases (2)

Anyway, more and more people are now seeking his medical advice, and within half a year, he has received many more gifts from patients than in the past.

Xia Yuan knew very well who brought about all this.

If it weren’t for his daughter insisting on apprenticing under Lin Miao, he probably wouldn’t be where he is today, and his wife’s health improved under Lin Miao’s care. Although she can’t be compared to a completely healthy person, it’s much better than when she was bedridden most of the time.

At least now his wife can manage her daily life independently, so he doesn’t have to focus his energy on taking care of her.

With reduced life pressure and greater mental rejuvenation, Xia Yuan felt much younger and became increasingly grateful to Lin Miao.

"Father, have you gone to bed?"

"Xia Zhu!" Xia Yuan had actually just lain down after washing up when he suddenly heard his daughter’s voice, startling him. He opened his eyes and looked up.

"Husband, what’s wrong?" His wife, beside him, heard the noise and also rose to ask sleepily.

"It seems to be Xia Zhu’s voice outside the door?"

Before Xia Yuan could finish his sentence, Xia Zhu’s voice sounded again outside the bedroom: "Father, are you asleep? I have something I need to talk to you about."

It’s Xia Zhu!

The couple exchanged glances, with a hint of surprise in Xia Yuan’s eyes. He quickly threw off the covers, put on a cotton robe, and descended barefoot and in fabric shoes.

"Xia Zhu, why have you come back? Did something happen?" Xia Yuan asked with concern, fearing that something had really happened to Xia Zhu.

"Father, it’s nothing major. Put on your clothes properly; I’ll wait for you in the study." Xia Zhu could see her father’s disheveled state and realized he was worried upon hearing her return, so she quickly reassured him.

"All right, all right, wait a moment, father will be right there." Xia Yuan also sighed in relief. Her telling him to dress properly meant things weren’t that urgent.

Inside the study.

Xia Zhu had already lit the lamp on the desk.

The three-foot desk was bright.

Xia Yuan quickly arrived. Men dress quickly, unlike women, who can’t go out or put on makeup without taking a long time.

"Ah Zhu, why have you suddenly come back in the middle of the night? What happened?" Xia Yuan asked as soon as he entered.

"Father, look at this lecture note." Xia Zhu laid out and pushed the lecture notes from her small class tonight in front of her father, feeling excited.

"Treatise on Cold Pathogenic and Warm Pathogenic Diseases."

"Was this written by Mr. Lin?" Xia Yuan exclaimed in surprise as soon as he saw the content.

Xia Zhu nodded: "Starting tonight, Mr. Lin’s small class for us will be this ’Treatise on Cold Pathogenic and Warm Pathogenic Diseases.’ It should be what Mr. Lin has been writing these days."

Pulse Differentiation Method?

Xia Yuan, being familiar with Lin’s Pulse Study Notes, greatly admired its diagnosis and treatment methods, but it was just a summary of pulse science, with no systematic explanation on how to differentiate pulses.

And now, this Pulse Differentiation Method, does it teach how to identify pulse images?

If so, shouldn’t this Pulse Differentiation Method have existed earlier!

However, he could understand that in the past, Lin Miao taught and learned as he went, without a systematic approach to teaching students.

Now, he seems to want to systematically create a set of medical studies.

Is this about founding a new school?

In the medical world, once a new school is founded, it’s at least a generation of medical masters, even if they don’t become a saint, they will leave a significant mark in the field of medicine.

If it were someone who had practiced for decades, rich in experience, and had reached a national expert level, perhaps it wouldn’t seem strange.

At the level of a national expert, who wouldn’t want to be remembered in history, their pursuits would naturally be different.

But Lin Miao is not even twenty yet.

He’s already reached such heights!

Such a person is frightening. Thinking that Xia Zhu apprenticed under him on impulse, it’s fortunate that I didn’t stop her. If I had, it wouldn’t be pleasant surprise but regret now.

"Xia Zhu, did you bring this back with Mr. Lin’s knowledge?" Xia Yuan’s voice was trembling; even though it was just this volume, the value it contained might drive those national medical experts insane.

"I asked Mr. Lin, and only with his consent did I bring it back." Xia Zhu nodded seriously, realizing the extraordinary nature of tonight’s lecture notes and not daring to take them without asking.

Even if he’s your master, the medical skills he teaches you are naturally yours, and you have the right to teach them to whoever you deem worthy, but you still have to ask.

"Mr. Lin must have a complete ’Treatise on Cold Pathogenic and Warm Pathogenic Diseases,’ and he didn’t present it all at once, probably intending to progress step by step..."

"Father, what are you suggesting?"

"For such a monumental work, father thinks it should be linked to our Dongshan," Xia Yuan said.

"You mean to have Mr. Lin publish this ’Treatise on Cold Pathogenic and Warm Pathogenic Diseases’ in Dongshan?" Xia Zhu immediately understood her father’s intention.

"Yes, the emergence of a great medical work here in Dongshan represents a chance for Dongshan to gain fame. Who could then say that Dongshan is a backwater in the medical path!" exclaimed Xia Yuan.

"Publishing such a medical masterpiece requires quite a bit of money, for paper and printing plates. Do we have that capability in Dongshan?"

"No matter, we can hire someone for the printing. As for the paper, we’ll use the best mulberry paper. The financial issue isn’t hard to tackle; as long as Mr. Wen is willing to help, it shouldn’t be a problem," said Xia Yuan.

"But Mr. Lin has to agree to this," Xia Zhu remarked.

"Of course."

...

Miao Manor.

Underground chamber, or perhaps a cell.

However, if it were truly imprisonment, it wouldn’t have such accommodations; at least here, everything is available, except there’s no glimpse of the sky.
