After enduring countless hardships, Su Mu finally succeeded in rescuing Wang Qiang from the immense shadow cast by a harrowing medical incident. When he saw Wang Qiang regain his smile and return to a normal life, Su Mu felt a deep sense of comfort and pride. However, this event also served as a mirror, clearly reflecting the limitations of his own medical skills.
Su Mu realized that despite his utmost efforts to save every patient, the complexities of changing conditions and the endless challenges sometimes made his existing medical knowledge and skills feel inadequate. He understood that to truly save lives and become a great healer capable of protecting life and health, he must continuously refine his medical skills and explore deeper medical mysteries.
After much contemplation, Su Mu resolutely made an important decision—he would faithfully follow the guidance of the invaluable medical manuscript left to him by his grandfather before his passing. He would bravely embark on a journey filled with unknowns and dangers in search of renowned doctors and rare medicinal herbs.
This manuscript was far from an ordinary medical book; it contained not only detailed accounts of many long-lost exquisite medical techniques and miraculous prescriptions but also some incomprehensible mysterious hexagrams. Legend had it that these hexagrams possessed powerful abilities, helping healers accurately predict fortune and misfortune on their path to treating illnesses, thus avoiding numerous crises and successfully achieving their goals.
With a desire to enhance his medical skills and a deep respect for the manuscript, Su Mu packed his bag and set out alone on this long journey. What kind of adventures awaited him ahead? Would he truly be able to break through himself and realize his ideals with the help of the manuscript? Everything remained uncertain...
As Su Mu opened the manuscript, the first chapter was titled "The Art of Qi Huang: The Primacy of Medical Ethics," while the second chapter detailed a acupuncture technique called "Nine Needles of Rejuvenation," which he had previously used to assist others.
The following chapters recorded treatment methods for various difficult ailments, as well as the growth locations and collection methods for some rare medicinal herbs.
The final chapter contained some obscure hexagrams; his master had once told him that these hexagrams could predict fortune and misfortune, guiding one's direction.
Su Mu carefully studied the manuscript, filled with anticipation and excitement. He packed his belongings, bid farewell to Ye Qiu, applied for leave, and set off on his long journey in medicine.
According to the manuscript's records, Su Mu's first stop was an old traditional Chinese medicine practitioner located deep in the southwestern mountains. It was said that this old doctor was well-versed in herbal medicine and possessed remarkable medical skills.
Following the guidance of the hexagrams in the manuscript, Su Mu traveled westward. Along the way, he not only used his medical skills to help those in need but also continuously learned and practiced the knowledge from the manuscript, significantly improving his medical abilities.
In the deep mountains of southwestern China, a humid atmosphere enveloped him as various exotic plants intertwined and thrived amidst the dense forest.
Following the guidance of the medical manual's hexagram, Su Mu ventured deeper into the mountains. The rugged path twisted and turned, with a thick layer of fallen leaves underfoot that rustled with each step.
As dusk approached, the surrounding light dimmed further, prompting Su Mu to search for a place to spend the night. He cast another hexagram, which indicated a favorable omen to the southeast. Thus, he set off in that direction.
After about fifteen minutes of walking, Su Mu discovered a cave. The entrance was small and obscured by dense vines, making it difficult to spot without careful observation. He pushed aside the vines and cautiously entered the cave. Inside, it was dry, with the ground covered in dry grass, suggesting that someone had lived there before. Su Mu decided to spend the night in this cave.
He lit a campfire to dispel the dampness and darkness within. The flickering flames illuminated the cave walls, and it was then that Su Mu noticed some strange symbols carved into them.
Upon closer inspection, he realized these symbols bore a resemblance to the hexagrams recorded in his medical manual, though they were not identical. Intrigued, Su Mu took out his manual and began comparing the symbols on the wall with those in his book.
Just then, he heard a rustling sound from outside the cave. His heart raced as he became alert. Grabbing a burning branch, he slowly approached the entrance to peer outside. By the firelight, he saw a vividly colored venomous snake slithering closer to the cave.
Su Mu held his breath and remained still as he focused on the snake. He knew this creature was highly poisonous; being bitten would have dire consequences.
Recalling what he had read about venomous snakes in his manual, he quickly identified this one as a Five-Step Snake. The manual stated that if bitten by a Five-Step Snake, one would die after taking five steps due to its potent venom. The key to antidoting its poison lay in a herb called "White Flower Snake Tongue Grass."
Looking around, Su Mu noticed several plants of White Flower Snake Tongue Grass growing near the cave entrance. His heart leaped with joy as he quickly harvested a few stalks and clutched them tightly in his hand. The Five-Step Snake seemed to sense Su Mu's intentions and suddenly lunged toward him.
Prepared for this moment, Su Mu sidestepped swiftly to avoid the snake's attack and crushed the White Flower Snake Tongue Grass in his hand before applying it to his arm where the snake had grazed him.
The snake missed its strike and launched another attack. Su Mu remained cautious; using the cave's terrain to his advantage, he maneuvered around the Five-Step Snake. Finally, seizing an opportunity, he struck its head forcefully with the burning branch. The snake writhed in pain for a moment before falling still.
With a sigh of relief, Su Mu knew he had escaped danger. He returned to examine his arm closely; although the wound was not deep, it had begun to darken. The medicinal properties of the White Flower Snake Tongue Grass were taking effect, halting the spread of venom.
After tending to his wounds, Su Mu once again focused his attention on the symbols etched into the cave wall. He discovered that these symbols seemed to form an ancient formation, resonating with the hexagrams in the medical texts, capable of gathering the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Su Mu sat cross-legged and, following the instructions in the medical texts, attempted to circulate the true energy within his body.
As he circulated his true energy, Su Mu felt a powerful force surging from the symbols on the cave wall into his body. He sensed himself filled with strength, and his mind was exceptionally clear. He realized that by sheer chance, he had stumbled upon a treasure trove for cultivation.
The night passed without incident. The next morning, Su Mu divined again, and the hexagram indicated that it was not wise to linger in this place. He carefully copied the symbols from the cave wall and then packed his belongings, continuing on his journey in the path of medicine.
