Longevity starts with learning

Chapter 76 Studying Medicine!

"You want to study medicine?"

In Mingxintang, Mr. Li put down the book in his hand, slightly surprised.

"Correct."

Chu Mu nodded, and didn't say any more. He had known Mr. Li for a while, and Chu Mu probably understood his character.

A man of one word does not need to say too much.

It is best to agree, if not, then he will think of other ways.

Extraordinary power is beyond his reach, and secular medicine is not difficult.

"Each family has its own basis for inheritance."

"But the old man has no children under his knees, so he doesn't pay much attention to it."

"But medicine is as vast as the sea, and it cannot be learned overnight. You are busy with work, I'm afraid..."

Chu Mu didn't seem to hear the polite refusal in Mr. Li's words, and he still said to himself: "Now that I have been promoted to team leader, the time is much looser, so there should be no big problem."

"I'm curious, why do you still want to study medicine since you have already made a name for yourself in the officialdom?"

Chu Mu smiled: "If you study medicine...you can live a long time!"

Mr. Li took a deep look at Chu Mu, and pondered for a moment: "Since Brother Mu insists on doing this, I can't refuse."

"Don't worry, Mr. Li, I understand the rules."

While speaking, Chu Mu took out a small wooden box from his arms and handed it to the table in front of Mr. Li.

There was nothing else in the box, just a stack of banknotes.

Three hundred silver!
This extremely expensive price, which almost wiped out all of Chu Mu's remaining net worth, naturally has a basis.

Before coming, Chu Mu inquired through the channel of the inspection station, the apprentices of Mingxintang, of course, this apprentice refers to the apprentice who really inherits old Li's medical skills, not the apprentice who does odd jobs.

According to what Chu Mu heard, there are two types of apprentices, one is naturally appreciated by Mr. Li himself, and he is accepted as a disciple to pass on what he has learned.

The other is through various relationships, and then donated property, and finally accepted by Mr. Li as a disciple to pass on what he learned.

The value of the property is generally around two hundred silver.

Studying medicine is obviously not a lowly profession in this era.

It can even be said to be status respected.

After all, whether it is the beginning of qi and blood practice, which requires an understanding of body structure, or the beginning of qi and blood practice, the assistance of medicinal materials is inseparable from medicine.

As far as Chu Mu understands the situation at present, reading is something that only wealthy people can do, and practicing martial arts is even more important for wealth and status.

Without money, he can't afford the consumption of martial arts, and without status, he has no access to martial arts at all.

The respect of martial arts in a certain sense also directly drives the status of medicine to soar.

Old Li in front of him is undoubtedly the best example.

According to Chu Mu's thinking, three hundred silver is undoubtedly a little less.

After all, if someone else can enter Mingxin Hall as an apprentice with about two hundred silver in property, there must be other human relationships among them.

His three hundred silver seems expensive, but among them, there is also a lack of crucial human relations.

Mr. Li didn't take a look at the wooden box in front of him, but looked at Chu Mu again: "I heard that there was a large-scale casualty in the mine yesterday?"

Chu Mu frowned, he didn't care about Mr. Li's well-informed, but more importantly, could he tell?

The password, but exists.

Misfortune comes from the mouth, maybe.

It took only a moment for Chu Mu to make up his mind, and after pondering for a while, he slowly told what he saw and heard in the mine yesterday.

"Life is like nothing..."

After hearing what Chu Mu said, Mr. Li looked slightly melancholy and sighed softly.

Immediately, Mr. Li got up and took out a stack of books from the bookshelf beside him: "Brother Mu, take these books back and study them yourself first."

"The way of medicine is vast, and the most important thing is to persevere."

"Since Brother Mu has chosen medical skills, don't slack off."

"Mu understands."

Chu Mu took the thick stack of books with a slightly solemn expression.

He is very clear that this stack of books is no longer a simple medical book for him, but represents the future he can look forward to.

As for other things...such as a higher level of transcendence, although he dreams of it, at least for now, he still can't find a channel to get in touch.

After leaving Mingxintang, Chu Mu stopped, with the scorching sun above his head, the weather was still clear in the cold winter months, and the number of patrolling guards on the street had returned to the strict security as before.

Chu Mu went straight to the house, but he was not in a hurry, Wu Shuo had full control over the guards in the town, and he had great power, so he was directly granted a whole day's leave.

A day off is a rare leisure.

When I got home, the most conspicuous thing was, of course, the big hole in the roof of the bedroom.

It's just that I just threw away three hundred silver and almost emptied out what little money I had left, so I didn't have the money to repair it, so I had to put it on hold temporarily.

Touching the banknotes in his bosom that he couldn't feel, the corners of Chu Mu's mouth couldn't help but twitch.

All in all, his income is really not bad.

The beheading reward alone is the monthly salary of nearly a year, and the black gold has to be counted. In just one or two months, he earned hundreds of silver!
Putting it in an ordinary farmer's family, I am afraid that they will not be able to earn so much money in their entire life.

But this money, the more you earn, the more you spend.

Walking into the room, a stack of books was spread out, and the recliner chair in the bedroom had been moved over. Chu Mu sat on the back, picked up a book and started to read it.

With the previous books on the structure of the human body as a basis, Chu Mu naturally has some understanding of the medicine of this era.

According to Chu Mu's understanding, medicine in this era is like the combination of traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine.

Although it is still the theory of yin and yang and five elements, the dialectical thinking in it is very obvious.

In other words, Chinese medicine is more scientific and pioneering.

On this point, from the medical book on human body structure that is comparable to the professional anatomy book in the previous life, it can be clearly seen that the medicine of this era is not sticking to the rules and is limited to itself, but is exploring the unknown.

If it was said that before Chu Mu was still puzzled by such an abnormality, but he knew about a higher level of transcendence, all of this, in Chu Mu's view, is undoubtedly a matter of course.

No matter whether it is a higher level of transcendence, whether it is cultivating immortals, or high martial arts fantasy, it must involve the mystery of human evolution.

How can such a world, which involves the mysteries of human evolution, stick to the rules?

And the secular world under the control of such a world, no matter how feudal and backward the secular world is, it is inevitable that it will be affected.

The volumes of anatomy books and the extremely cheap food, in Chu Mu's view, are probably the reality of being influenced by a higher level of transcendence.

There must be many more manifestations of this kind.

Just like the iron ore of a mine, Nanshan Town, even Qinghe County, and even the secular ruling structure of the entire county...

There must be others.

It's just that Chu Mu hasn't discovered it yet. After all, although he has been in this world for several months, his scope of activities, except for that one time he entered the mountain to suppress the bandits, the rest of the time is only limited to this Nanshan Town.

Cognition, understanding, are still limited.
