Chapter 356: Teaching and Learning
Zhou Juan was overjoyed to hear Zhou Sheng say this because she thought the same way.
Although Zhou Sheng had only come from Jing'an, his temperament and confident gaze suddenly made Zhou Juan feel that perhaps she could trust him this time.
Thinking of this, Zhou Juan immediately smiled and said, "Nephew Zhou Sheng, since you are so determined, I will leave this trouble up to you."
Zhou Sheng smiled and said, "Don't worry, those three doctors, I will let them witness what cruelty is! To dare slander Auntie Xiaojuan's innocence, they truly do not know whether they are alive or dead."
Zhou Juan smiled, her eyes full of gratitude for Zhou Sheng. Her husband didn't help her but instead aided outsiders, which hurt her deeply, yet she had not expected a young man from an offshoot branch of the family, whom she had never met, to understand her feelings and be willing to help her.
Zhou Sheng watched Zhou Juan leave, then went to his room and made a phone call, "Sir, please send a few experts. I have a great strategy that can win over the Qian Family's favor. As long as we win their favor, our position in Huadu will be secure. Relying solely on the Zhou Family is not enough."
There was almost no hesitation on the other end of the line before the immediate agreement came.
Zhou Sheng hung up the phone and walked into the empty study. He pressed a spot on the wall, and a narrow secret compartment popped out. He took out something resembling a fire poker, gripped it tightly in his right hand, and sneered, "It's important to lay low for now. I, Zhou Sheng, am destined for great achievements. The humility and patience I exhibit now are for a future rise!"
After saying that, he began to circulate his mental method and then slowly waved the "fire poker" in his hand.
If someone were standing next to him at this moment, they would be astonished to find that this space seemed to be affected by the swinging "fire poker."
If there had been anything in the room, it would surely have been swept away, which explained why his study was empty.
After flailing about for a while and sweating profusely, Zhou Sheng slowly returned the fire poker to the secret compartment.
He meditated to regain his composure, a glint of coldness flashed briefly in his eyes, and he muttered to himself, "The cultivation technique the Sir gave is indeed miraculous, fitting perfectly with my own aptitude. It hasn't been long, and I've already reached the Grand Perfection of Qi Transformation, about to step into the Mastery Period. Hmph! Xu Hao, wait for me. The day my strength reaches the Grandmaster Level will be the day you, Xu Hao, meet your doom!"
...
"Young Master Xu, Medicine King Lei, you've returned."
When You Yaozong saw Xu Hao, he was overjoyed and hurried out to meet him.
Xu Hao did not choose to head directly to the hotel but instead made a detour to You Yaozong's place because he knew that over the past two days, You Yaozong must have encountered some problems in researching the medicine Xu Hao had provided, and it was time for him to help solve those puzzles.
Xu Hao nodded slightly and said, "Let's see how well you've been learning during this time."
Xu Hao assumed the air of a teacher, and nobody felt it was inappropriate.
Guan Wenzhi was incredibly surprised to see You Yaozong showing such respect toward Xu Hao.
He knew You Yaozong as an absolute authority in dermatology at Hua Du First Hospital!
He asked in confusion, "Director You, aren't you a Western Medicine expert? Why are you studying traditional Chinese medicine under my grandmaster?"
"Your grandmaster? Do you mean Young Master Xu? How did he become..."
You Yaozong immediately realized what was happening and smiled, "I see, you are Medicine King Lei's disciple, and Medicine King Lei is Young Master Xu's disciple, so that makes you Young Master Xu's grand-disciple."
Guan Wenzhi nodded. Xu Hao, although young, had a significant generational status, which made their usual forms of address somewhat complicated. However, they all received more traditional educations that emphasized respect for teachers and hierarchy, and naturally knew not to cross the line.
No sooner had You Yaozong invited everyone into his house and served tea and water than he sat respectfully in a lower position and inquired, "Teacher, I want to ask what exactly is meant by ascending, descending, sinking, and floating?"
Xu Hao picked up his tea, took a sip, glanced at Wang Chun Jiao, who was leaning back on the couch as if she owned the place, and then said to You Yaozong, "The so-called ascending, descending, sinking, and floating refer to the four tendencies in how medicines act upon the human body.
Ascend means to rise, the medicines that can treat downward-moving illnesses have an ascending effect; descend, meaning to lower, the medicines that can treat upward-inverting illnesses have a descending effect..."
Xu Hao went on to explain in depth the four medicinal actions of ascending, descending, sinking, and floating, captivating You Yaozong and even causing a master of traditional Chinese medicine like Lei Qianjue to nod in agreement.
Furthermore, as Xu Hao deepened his explanation, he moved beyond the scope of just ascending, descending, sinking, and floating, and began to explain the seven emotions involved in combining Chinese medicines, the monarch, ministers, assistants, and couriers, as well as the contraindications in combining medicines, the eighteen antagonisms, and the eighteen incompatibilities.
The more Lei Qianjue listened, the more astounded he became. Initially, he thought Xu Hao had simply inherited profound knowledge, but he never expected Xu Hao's understanding of these fundamental aspects of Chinese medicine to be so thorough!
