Beautiful doctor of Chinese medicine, Yu Gangan woke up from a coma one day to a cold, mysterious man. "Excuse me, you are...?"
A pair of profound eyes focused on her and replied, "Fang Zhihan, your husband."
Did this man take her for a fool? He was obviously a fraud!
A little while down the track, he pulled her into his arms and whispered beside her ear, "Who am I?"
This time, Yu Gangan froze and replied, "Fang Zhihan, my husband."
If he was a patient, then she was his sweetest medicine...

*ring ring*
Ming Qing's call came.
"Teacher, don't stoop down to those netizens' level. We don't have to care about them." Zhao Ming Qing was afraid that his teacher would be gloomy and be affected by the discussions on the Internet, so he was comforting his teacher, hoping that his teacher wouldn't be bothered by it.
Lin Fan said cheerily, "You think too much, Ming Qing. Do you think I'd be bothered by it? Let's not talk for now. Some idiot is arguing with me again. I have to take care of him. I'm hanging up."
Zhao Ming Qing shook his head gently, clearly embarrassed. "Teacher, you really do care. If you didn't, you wouldn't be quarreling with them," he thought to himself.
The masses of netizens saw Master Lin's behavior towards the troll and were stunned. Shouldn't all godly doctors be of noble character and prestige, and have light temperaments? But this godly doctor wasn't the same. He directly scolded the opposition without a shred of calmness.
At times, when he was at the climax of his flaming, Lin Fan thought of using his computer skills to hack the opposition's computer. However, it was just a thought. That wasn't a good behavior and he definitely couldn't do that.
If those Internet police uncles came to his door, it would end tragically.
After that, he decided to ignore that troll. He started to immerse himself in writing the teaching materials again. Initially, he had wanted to put it off for a while but the situation now made him very pissed. If he didn't produce the teaching materials as soon as possible, it wouldn't be right.
Now that Lin Fan had stood out, the public opinion changed dramatically. After all, the godly doctor's reputation on Weibo was great.
In the Chinese medical world, no one expressed any opinions. They all watched from the side and waited for the teaching materials to be produced before they would say anything.
If one doesn't cause jealousy, it means that person is only mediocre. Although Lin Fan was a godly doctor, there were many people in the Chinese medical world that didn't like him. Of course, Lin Fan's ability was too great. They would have to be idiots to jump out at him now.
However, the matter was complicated. Even a godly doctor may not be able to produce good teaching materials. It wouldn't be too late to flame Lin Fan after the teaching materials were produced if they don't meet the requirements.
They had even thought about how they would flame him already.
"Just because your medical skills are great doesn't mean you can write teaching materials. Old teaching materials are old teaching materials, we won't allow this blasphemy!"
The next day!
Lin Fan had thought that things would be peaceful. He had never thought that the descendants of those old Chinese doctors would come out clamoring.
Among them, a person named Wu Xi Jun was the fiercest and he flamed Lin Fan multiple times.
"@Master Lin, you're a godly doctor, your medical skills are supreme, that we admit. However, what do you mean by your words yesterday? Our grandfathers put their blood and sweat into writing China's first teaching materials and they've been used until today. They've nurtured countless Chinese medical masters. What do you mean by that last sentence you said? Are you trying to say that there are problems with our grandfathers' teaching materials? You can see their contributions to Chinese medicine but you don't want to admit it. Although my grandfather isn't around anymore, I can still sue you for slander."
The netizens responded in agreement.
"This is well said."
"That isn't what the Godly Doctor meant. You all have misunderstood him."
"Although I dislike the poster very much, this does make sense. Those old Chinese doctors put their blood and sweat into producing our nation's first Chinese Medicine foundational teaching materials. That's a huge contribution and it can't be taken for granted."
"For these old teaching materials to have been used for several decades, they must be outstanding. Furthermore, there can't be any issues with these teaching materials, otherwise, they would've been discovered by now."
"It seems like Director Zhao Ming Qing has discovered those issues. That's why he wants to replace them."
"Bullsh*t. How can the current Chinese doctors even compare to the past? The masters of the past dedicated their heart and souls to Chinese medicine, unlike these Chinese doctors nowadays who only cause so much trouble.
"That makes sense."
Wu Xu Jun saw that the public opinion on the Internet was gradually shifting and he couldn't help but start laughing.
This was exactly what he wanted. If the old teaching materials were to really be replaced, it would have a great impact on them. Although the impact wouldn't be great at first, who knew what would happen in future?
Several years?
Ten years?
When that time comes, how would they use their grandfathers' reputation to monopolize the Chinese Medical Academies' treatment equipment?
There were many people nowadays who worked in this field. The competition was intense. It was only because they had this relationship with their grandfathers that some of the leaders took care of them.
After all, their grandfathers had indeed made great contributions to Chinese medicine. Some of the leaders only opened doors for them because of this.
Wu Xi Jun clamored once again, "@Master Lin, we can forget what you said but we wish for you to apologize to us. At the same time, it would also be an apology to our grandfathers."
For a long while, Lin Fan didn't reply.
The netizens' imaginations started to run wild.
"Is Master Lin having a guilty conscience. Is he not speaking because he knows that he's in the wrong?"
"Guilty conscience my a*s! Do you know who our Master Lin is? He isn't someone who can be made to feel guilty by this idiots."
"That's right. Master Lin just doesn't want to stoop to his level."
"Master Lin possesses noble integrity. He isn't at the same level as that kind of person."
"I feel that this person is right. What Master Lin said at first was wrong and he should apologize."
"For those teachings materials written by their ancestors to have lasted so long, they must have commendable aspects."
Some time later.
Suddenly!
The netizens were all stunned.
"D*mn, hurry up and take a look at Master Lin's Weibo. This is nature-defying!"
"What?"
"Ah ha! He's trying to cause trouble!"
"Motherf*cker. I take back what I said earlier. Master Lin doesn't possess noble integrity nor is he of a higher level than others. He is someone who would slap other people in the face with the truth!"
"My god, this is going to cause the earth to shake."
…
Lin Fan wouldn't back down. This guy was really too greedy. Initially, Lin Fan didn't want to care about him but he never thought that this guy would challenge him. Lin Fan couldn't stand it. He couldn't stand it at all.
He respected those old Chinese doctors very much. After all, they had made contributions to Chinese medicine education back in their era. But these grandsons and descendants were absurd.
It seemed he had no choice but to confront them.
He immediately went to Shanghai's First Chinese Medical Centre and asked Zhao Ming Qing for the Chinese Medicine foundational teaching materials. Then, he read through it quickly and picked out all the problems within.
Lin Fan: "First page, first section, The Importance of Chinese Medical Theory. There is a mistake here."
"This part, I have to say is complete nonsense. Chinese Medical Theory is, if said a little more bluntly, nonsense. It is only the whole of Chinese medicine that is useful. Why can't the current Chinese medicine compare with the previous generation's? That's because there are too many people bound by convention. Nowadays, in the Chinese medical world, all they talk about is theory. They've already forgotten that the most important part of Chinese medicine is having effective treatments and medicine. Our ancestors have gone through thousands of years of practice to confirm countless methods but is there anyone still confirming the effectiveness of medicine now?"
"I'm not afraid of offending anyone either. These days, many theories in the Chinese medicine foundational teaching materials are mistaken. And many old Chinese doctors know this in their hearts but they aren't willing to say so openly. After all, most teaching plans are written by Chinese medical theory professors and Chinese medical experts, how could they not know of these mistakes? They know but they aren't willing to change them because that would be slapping themselves in the face. They are afraid of being humiliated. That's why they won't admit that their theories are wrong, nor will they admit that they have taught their students wrongly. Hence, they all try to safeguard these mistaken theories."
"The first Chinese medical masterpiece of our country, 'Qing Yuan Medical Book', has already been distributed for thousands of years. Now, countless Chinese doctors treat it as a treasure and study Chinese medicine from it. What I want to say is, have your brains all short-circuited? I won't admit that it is a masterpiece but I will admit that it is a Chinese medicine introductory book that has brought many people to Chinese medicine. Now, people worship our ancestors too highly and feel that the current generation cannot compare to our ancestors. The decline of Chinese medicine has much to do with this. People are not thinking about how to forge forward. They don't know which direction to go with Chinese medicine so they stay in the same spot. They keep studying our ancestors' knowledge and never think about whether it is true."
"I've said a bit much but there is no hurry. There will be more. I'll slowly say more."
This time, Lin Fan had erupted. He wanted to give this group of fellas a good lesson.
If he didn't have the Encyclopedia, he might have thought the same as those guys but since he received the Encyclopedia's knowledge, he had a clear goal.


I am Lin Fan and I've become a jack of all trades just because of a powerful Encyclopedia. 
In the first ever competition organised for trolls, all the other contestants lost. The crowd exclaimed, "Brother, you're so good at trolling." 
Lin Fan replied, "But I've never been trolling..."

Tian Yuantu didn't want to upset Wang Yao or his friend. Fortunately, his friend didn't insist on meeting with Wang Yao, although his mother was keen to thank Wang Yao in person. His friend was very compliant with his mother, so sooner or later he would want to meet Wang Yao again.
"Is there anything wrong?" asked Wang Yao as he noticed Tian Yuantu suddenly stopped talking.
Wang Yao knew the Regather soup just enhanced the Qi which was damaged by cold evil (a Chinese Traditional Medicine concept). It was a temporary solution. The disease would come back after a while if the root of the problem hadn't been killed.
The best solution was to meet the patient to find out what was wrong with her.
"My friend wants to invite you for dinner at his house. He just wants to thank you for treating his mother," said Tian Yuantu after thinking for a while.
"It is not necessary," said Wang Yao.
Tian Yuantu was not surprised to hear Wang Yao's reply. He was just a little bit disappointed. How was he going to explain this to his friend?
"This is the Regather soup you requested," Wang Yao placed a white porcelain bottle on the table. The decoction inside was still warm.
"Thank you. How much do I need to pay for it?" asked Tian Yuantu.
"One million yuan," said Wang Yao.
"Ok, just a minute." Tian Yuantu didn't even blink his eyes when he heard the number.
After a moment, Wang Yao received an alert of a money transfer on his mobile phone.
You have reached the criteria of upgrading. Do you want to upgrade? the system suddenly started to prompt Wang Yao.
I've reached the criteria? Wang Yao was surprised. "Please upgrade," he said quietly.
He didn't check the system immediately as Tian Yuantu hadn't left yet.
"I've told you the Regather soup may not be able to cure the disease thoroughly. It is best for me to see the patient face-to-face for a diagnosis," said Wang Yao.
"Can you please visit the patient at her house? They can also take the chance to thank you," said Tian Yuantu.
"Well, I will see," said Wang Yao.
He didn't decline Tian Yuantu completely. Tian Yuantu knew it was possible for Wang Yao to do a home visit, so he could let his friend know.
Tian Yuantu soon left Wang Yao's cottage.
Wang Yao opened the system panel and started to check his status.
Grade: 4
Occupational grade: still green hand (but you are ready to fly)
Grade for herbal cultivation: 3 (primary level). You have a basic understanding of herbal cultivation.
The biggest reward for the upgrading this time was a skill point. Plus the rewards from the previous missions, Wang Yao had two skill points at the moment.
Where should I add the points to? Medical or pharmacological aspect?
Medical aspect pertained to his knowledge of diagnosis and treatment. Pharmacological aspect was his ability to prescribe herbal formulas. Both were essential.
Then, I should consider both.
Wang Yao added one point to each aspect.
At the moment, Wang Yao had basic medical skills. He added listening, one of the four ways of diagnosis using the Chinese Traditional Medicine theory. Listening meant identifying the cause and nature of the disease by listening to the sound of a patient.
As the old Chinese saying stated, "An excellent Chinese Medical Practitioner could tell the disease by listening to the patient."
Excellent Chinese Medical Practitioners were like saints. Only extraordinary Chinese Medical Practitioners could diagnose a patient only through listening to their sounds and detecting abnormal odors. But saints might be an overstatement.
There were a lot of philosophies in the sayings from ancient China. In the ancient Chinese book Han Feizi, Explaining Laozi Using Metaphors, there was a famous story called Bianque Met Duke Caihuan. The well-known ancient Chinese doctor Bianque diagnosed Duke Caihuan through the method of looking.
Bianque observed that the disease was on the skin initially, then progressed into the muscles and internal organs. In the end, Bianque turned around and left as soon as he saw Duke Caihuan because he could tell the disease had gone into Duke Caihuan's bones and became incurable.
Only people like Bianque deserved the title of a saint as he could identify the nature of the disease just by looking at the patient from a distance. It was like magic.
Bianque was the god of medicine in ancient China; he developed the four methods of diagnosis in Chinese Traditional Medicine. He was also called the founder of Chinese medicine.
Looking and listening was not easy to grasp. One needed to have a rich knowledge of Chinese medicine to have the two skills. Wang Yao felt his head was going to explode as it was filled with the knowledge from the system. He ended up having a headache, as if his head was pricked by thousands of needles. Wang Yao was sweating hard even inside the cold cottage. Fortunately, the headache didn't last long.
Wang Yao was relieved when it was over.
It would take some time to digest such a large amount of knowledge given by the system. The system only provided theory and knowledge, it wouldn't help Wang Yao understand and apply the theories into practice. Wang Yao was required to accumulate more hands-on experience to truly absorb the knowledge from the system.
As for the pharmacological aspect, Wang Yao had been able to recognize different herbs and understand their effects. Now he was able to know how to mix different herbs together to maximize their effect. In addition, some herbs couldn't be mixed due to their conflicting effects. With such knowledge Wang Yao was able to pick the most suitable herbs to make formulas for various diseases, as well as adjust existing herbal formulas to improve the effect of formulas. Wang Yao had only used existing formulas from herbal books but now he could be more flexible when making formulas.
Now, Wang Yao could be creative.
The skill of making formulas without relying on books was quite extraordinary. Some people couldn't grasp it for the entirety of their lives.
Some doctors just asked about symptoms without making any diagnosis before prescribing medications. A few of them even prescribed the same medication for ten different diseases. It wouldn't end up with severe consequences if the disease was not severe, but for severe and progressive diseases, such conduct would only make the disease worse.
"I should have more confidence in treating people now," said Wang Yao.
It would be the beginning of spring in a few days—the first of 24 solar terms.
The wind from the east brought warmth to the world, the sun had thawed the earth, and nature had revived.
The wind and rain from the east were chasing the wind from the west, the sun warmed the earth and air. All things on earth, including the mountains and the water were awake, and the farmers started to plow the land again.
It was such a coincidence that it was raining the day after the beginning of spring, which melted the coldness in the air.


In an inaccessible village, there were a few houses on the hillside. 
People from far away were attracted here and the mountain road was crowded with luxury cars, because, in this town, there was a young man with incredible medical skills  who could cure all kinds of illnesses!

"Doctor Qin, please do not disturb me while I am performing my diagnosis!"
"You…"
Qin Wanqing was furious as she held herself back.
"Let me look at your wound…"
Fang Yuan could not afford to expose his special skill and had to act as though he was examining the wound on the thigh of the young girl.
He could not avoid skin contact with the patient and therefore, Sun Xiaohong blushed in embarrassment. However, she quickly got used to it and composed herself.
"Doctor Fang, how's it?"
The parents of Sun Xiaohang were concerned and came over to Fang Yuan as soon as he had completed his diagnosis.
"Her situation is not that bad. If she is willing to cooperate for the treatment, she should have the hope of standing on her two feet again after half a year!"
"It's impossible! Don't believe him!"
Qin Wanqing looked at the parents as they almost knelt down in front of Fang Yuan. With that, she exploded. "Xiaohong can never walk on her feet again. Don't trust him!"
As soon as she finished her piece, she felt that she had said something wrong.
"Doctor Qin, thank you for your care for the past few weeks. However, please leave!"
Sun Xiaohong had a look of despair as her parents furiously retorted.
"All of you will regret it!"
Qin Wanqing gritted her teeth but did not feel any resentment towards the family. Instead, she felt like biting Fang Yuan's flesh and was already plotting to expose Fang Yuan's lie.
"Wait a minute!"
Fang Yuan shouted out. "Doctor Qin, since you are worried about Xiaohong, how about this… you shall be in charge of taking care of her daily. After all, I will only perform my acupuncture for a few minutes every time. You can also observe me! How's that?"
This female doctor had a good heart and was also rather skilled in Traditional Chinese Medicine. With a caring heart, Fang Yuan could make use of her to do the menial work.
"Only acupuncture? Alright…"
Qin Wanqing thought for a while before agreeing, for she felt that she had a duty to protect her patients. However, she could not control herself. "However, it is illogical for you to cure her paralysis by simply performing acupuncture, and this is according to Traditional Chinese Medicine… There have been no successful examples of it in history."
"The theory is about to be formed and you shall witness the example!"
Fang Yuan blinked his eyes. "After all, this is my graduation project!"
"I knew it…"
Qin Wanqing rolled her eyes and felt that the world was hopeless.
"Let the truth speak for itself!"
Fang Yuan forcefully calmed himself down, brought a spirit lamp and sanitized the silver needles.
"You have lost all feeling in your legs, right? If you do feel anything later on, remember to tell me!"
He gently reminded Sun Xiaohong before lightly piercing her acupuncture. Following the teachings of the Green Capsule Scripture Additional Recording, his inner energy flowed through the silver needle an entered Sun Xiaohong's body.
The human body was a world in itself and had its own circulatory system. This was the theory written in the Green Capsule Scripture Additional Recording.
Measuring the energy flow, Fang Yuan could feel that there was a blockage as soon as the inner energy flowed towards the wound on the thigh.
Encountering such a condition, anyone else would conclude that there was nothing that could be done to treat the legs.
'Hmm… even with my medical skills, if this patient was a normal person, I would need to spend at least a few years to stimulate the growth of the damaged nerves…'
This was after taking Fang Yuan's cultivation level into consideration.
'However, Sun Xiaohong is different. She is already slightly evolved and the source of her energy is comparable to a matured adult. As long as there is addition stimulation and guiding to guide her special ability to heal, she would be able to recover completely in half a year, providing yet another example to support my thesis…'
Fang Yuan's eyes twinkled with excitement.
'Of course, the subject of guiding one's special ability to stimulate spiritual droplets into another special ability is an interesting one too!'
Regardless of what Sun Xiaohong's initial special ability was, Fang Yuan was prepared to alter it completely and forcefully, turning it into a self-healing ability.
"How's it? What do you feel?"
After half an hour, Fang Yuan kept his needles and wiped off the sweat from his forehead.
"I… I felt a warm sensation in my body as though there was a flow of energy towards my thigh…"
Sun Xiaohong blushed in embarrassment and tears welled up in her eyes. "Just now… I felt an itch on my thigh!"
"Impossible!"
Qin Wanqing shook her head. "Xiaohong, you must be hallucinating. That must be it! This is impossible… It is just acupuncture. How can there be such a satisfactory result?"
Amidst Sun Xiaohong's parent's joy, she appeared dazed and desolated.
Fang Yuan gave a look of pity as he gazed at this female doctor.
How could she be so unwilling to accept the fact? What if she were to witness supernatural happenings in the future? Would she accuse the whole world of being wrong and become a frenzied person?
"Alright, Doctor Qin, I'll leave her in your capable hands!"
It was none of Fang Yuan's business as to how others viewed him. With a casual flick of his bag, Fang Yuan walked out with style. "From today onwards, I will perform my acupuncture on her weekly. Everything else remains the same for her."
"Alright, Doctor Fang!"
Qin Wanqing was stunned as she replied, giving a complicated look.
…
As the seasons went by, there was a commotion in Xijing University.
The graduating students were about to graduate, vacating their spots for the freshmen.
To every university student, the thesis was the hardest thing to do. They would most of the time prepare many months in advance, and after many comments and feedback from their teachers, they would correct it countless times. It was as though they would climb through hell and back.
Interestingly, although those teachers would give them heartless comments and strict feedbacks, they would ultimately become lenient when it came to grading the thesis, allowing most of the students to graduate with a degree.
Of course, Fang Yuan had this experience in his past life and was prepared to not follow this path again.
It was Sunday.
The sun was shining brightly and there was a cool breeze.
Lecturer Wu from the Faculty of Social Sciences carried a huge stack of documents and ran towards the classrooms. As he opened the door, a room full of professors gazed towards him, making him embarrassed.
He had entered the wrong classroom.
"Mr Wu, are you here to listen as well?"
Before he could turn around, a familiar face greeted him and even passionately offered a seat to him.
"Yes… Haha…"
Lecturer Wu laughed and awkwardly accepted the seat as he prepared to give an excuse to take his leave later on.
'This arrangement seems like… the questioning of a thesis, something's not right…'
Lecturer Wu was a little confused. "Which faculty is this student from?"
"Don't you know? He is from the gifted class, a kid under Old He!"
Lecturer Wu got a prompt reply from his friend.
"Oh, then he must be around 16 or 17? No wonder there are so many people listening to him!"
Lecturer Wu seemed to understand the commotion. However, he slowly noticed more and more lecturers entering the classroom before his eyes became widened. "That is… Professor Tian from the Faculty of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Professor He from the Faculty of Biology… Oh my, why are the professors from the Faculty of Astronomy here as well? And the assessors too. What kind of thesis is so complicated? Inter-faculty as well?"
"You'll know after reading it…"
With a complicated look, his friend passed him a printed copy of the thesis.
"Oh? A discussion about the relationship between Traditional Chinese Medicine and the human body and their association with the movement of the celestial bodies? What a broad topic indeed…"
Lecturer Wu had also done research in biology before. After flipping through a few pages and reading about a few examples, his expression changed. "This is interesting…"
"Alright, the thesis defence will commence now!"
Just as Lecturer Wu became absorbed into the thesis, a stern voice was heard.
Shocked, he raised his head and realised that even the vice-principal was here and was sitting in front. 'There seems to be a lot of professional people for this thesis defence. Will the young man be stressed out?'
"Good day, lecturers! I am Fang Yuan!"
With this, a young man walked up to the podium. He was tall and was smiling widely.
"Hmmm… The gifted are indeed more matured. If someone were to say that he was 20, I would still believe!"
As the teachers discussed among themselves, Fang Yuan ignored their small talks and spoke with a confident voice. "The topic of my thesis is… The Relationship between Traditional Chinese Medicine, Human Evolution and the Revolution of Celestial Objects!"
"As everyone knows, Traditional Chinese Medicine has its foundation on Yin, Yang and the Five Elements. The blood and veins are known as meridians, and the essence, energy and spirit make up the skeleton… However, the fact is that all of these are intertwined by energy! The human body is a world in itself and has its own natural circulatory system. Energy will flow within this system, and a small change within this circulation will be able to have a strong impact on the body. This is the basis for my theory of the Big Circulation!"
"There are many treasures within the human body, and the body is a world in itself. The Big Circulation allows energy to transcend the different parts of the body, activating the process of replacing old cells with new cells as well as the recovery process, if any… Please refer to the annexes for examples as to how treatment can be performed according to this theory, as well as my 13 Needles Technique…"
"The human body is a small world, and the universe is a large world. Both worlds can exchange energies, and this is the exchange between nature and the human body! The environment in the outside world will be affected by energy and will manifest in the small world of the human body. This is known as 'evolve'. I believe that we are in a prime time. As the energy in the universe becomes increasingly concentrated, humans will get closer and closer to a breakthrough!"
"Rubbish!"
At this point in time, a lecturer who was appointed an assessor could not hold it in any longer. "Rubbish! What the hell are you saying?"
"Please note that all I am stating are facts. As a scientist, I have predicted all of these with sufficient evidence…"
Fang Yuan remained composed. "You cannot deny its existence just because you have not seen it for yourself before!"
"Alright, so where's your evidence?"
"My evidence is in this stack of the date of our country's population as well as the fact that there is a new record being set in the Olympics…"
Fang Yuan held a timeline in his hands. "We can see for ourselves that before the world war, the record has never been broken. However, in a short span of the past 10 years, we have continuously broken the record numerous times. The quality of life has also gone up to be much higher than the accumulative quality of life for the past 100 years…"
"This is due to the improvements in technology and usage of them…"
"However, there are such examples in the ancient times as well. Please refer to the attached recording regarding the records of the Spiritual King Comet!"
Fang Yuan smiled. "In history, there were multiple encounters with the Spiritual King Comet. We have also observed its trend and predicted that it will visit our world every 100 years to bring change!"
"In this history recording, after the appearance of Spiritual King Comet, many humans have sighted ghosts and deities and therefore, we are able to deduce something from this… For instance, in recent years, there were revolutions in every country which commence the era of sea exploration…"


This is the story of a boy who lived a secluded life in the mountains, tending his farm, rearing his fish, and dreaming his dreams. Eh? Did I suddenly conquer all worlds and become the big boss? Or am I still in a dream?

"No chemotherapy and transplant?" Yun Xiangxiang was taken aback,
"It has been discussed for a long time in theory, but no actual breakthrough after all this time," Song Mian took Yun Xiangxiang to his work desk. He opened the documents related to leukemia from his computer.
The jargon in them overwhelmed Yun Xiangxiang. She pushed the computer away. "You can just explain it to me."
Song Mian chuckled as he sat beside Yun Xiangxiang. "To put it simply, the Western medicine will conduct immunotherapy from the cells, while the Chinese medicine would regulate the liver, spleen, and kidneys."
"You're planning to use both methods of treatment?" Yun Xiangxiang asked again.
Song Mian nodded. "Leukemia is categorised as either acute or chronic. A successful treatment is highly probable by only using Chinese medicine to treat acute leukemia. But if it's chronic leukemia, regulation through Chinese medicine might not make it."
"Acute leukemia has a higher rate of success instead?" Yun Xiangxiang was perplexed. From what she heard, acute diseases were supposed to be the troublesome version.
Song Mian gazed at Yun Xiangxiang gently. His smile was mesmerising. "Acute diseases attack fiercely. If the medicine is prescribed correctly, the effects would be tremendous."
"But if a chronic disease breaks out, that would mean the disease is already there for some time. The body had been damaged to an extent."
Yun Xiangxiang only realized that now. She placed her chin on one of her hands as she looked up to Song Mian. "I want to know your opinion on Chinese and Western medicine."
"Knowledge does not belong to any nation. There are pros and cons to Eastern and Western medicine," Song Mian gave a neutral answer.
"So...which of them has more pros, and which has fewer?" Yun Xiangxiang's eyes turned. She asked Song Mian a difficult question on purpose.
"It depends. The one you need is the one that has more pros," Song Mian touched Yun Xiangxiang's nose with the tip of his fingers.
Chinese medicine is a more stable choice, but it is a slow process. Most people treat time as their lives now.
Even if they knew that Western medicine would not be able to get to the root of the disease, they would still choose Western medicine. They could not afford to waste time.
An increasing number of rich people started choosing Chinese medicine now as they had the time to go through the treatment after all.
Western medicine works fast, but the human body could resist it easily. Western medicine also comes with relatively larger side effects.
After all, Western medicine targeted symptoms, whereas Chinese medicine treated all the parts of the body in pursuit of balance.
Quick results were not the only advantage of Western medicine. Western medicine would have an advantage in most diseases that needed emergency surgery.
As a medical practitioner, Song Mian would never look down upon someone's skill, even if he would never abandon his nation's traditions.
This was why he learned both Chinese and Western medicine.
Nothing is all powerful. Chinese and Western medicine could coexist due to their own pros. It would benefit mankind if they could be used together seamlessly on many diseases.
"I would still encourage our countrymen to learn about Chinese medicine more," Song Mian sighed.
"More and more people are actually paying attention to Chinese medicine now," Yun Xiangxiang nodded.
"Father has been pouring his efforts in nurturing and protecting the ingredients of Chinese medicine over the past two years," Song Mian resigned.
Too many elements are involved in Chinese medicine. Nurturing of talents, protection of the ingredients, legacy of the prescriptions...
"I believe in you," Yun Xiangxiang held Song Mian's hand.
She knew that Song Mian was not the only one who was working hard, but she would give more support and encouragement to him.
Song Mian went to the hospital where Dong Chen was the next day. It was a pity that Yun Xiangxiang could not go, as her lectures had started. Yun Lin went with him instead. When Yun Lin came back, he looked up to Song Mian like he was a god.
"Elder sister, did you know? The director came to welcome Brother Mian himself when Brother Mian arrived at the hospital. The director even brought a lot of doctors along and followed behind brother-in-law."
When Yun Xiangxiang came back from reporting in to school, Yun Lin regaled Yun Xiangxiang with everything he had seen today excitedly.
It was a colorful tale that was ripe with emotions. He finally concluded, "All men should be like Brother Mian. That's what success looks like!"
To be standing on the top in one field. Yun Lin seemed to have understood something. He too wanted to be the top in his favorite field.
"Elder sister has to move to the Song Manor for a while. You come too. Move back here after your school starts," Yun Xiangxiang loved to ruffle his hair.
Every time Yun Lin's hair was ruffled by Yun Xiangxiang, he would comb it slowly with his cheeks puffed. Recently, he had even gotten himself a little mirror.
"Don't be so pleased of yourself," Yun Xiangxiang snorted.
Song Mian took them for a roasted duck dinner and sent Li Xiangling and Song Meng to their campuses before slowly driving back to the Song Manor.
It was already very late when they arrived. Master Song met up with them. There was already a place cleared out for them.
Yun Xiangxiang and Yun Lin lived in a little courtyard. Both their rooms were neighboring each other.
Yun Xiangxiang needed to wake up earlier in the morning. It was farther from her university here. She had to avoid the peak hours.
Song Mian actually got up to make breakfast for her. Master Song too woke up early to practise.
"It's in the lunchbox. You can have it while you're driving or in school," Song Mian handed an insulated lunch box to her after Yun Xiangxiang finished washing up.
"Thanks for your hard work, Ah Mian," Yun Xiangxiang gave him a quick kiss before hopping into her car.
She of course had to finish the good stuff in the car. Everyone would grab it after she arrived at her dorm room.
Even so, Yun Xiangxiang still kindly bought some morning snacks from the cafeteria for them. The trio were still sleeping when she arrived.
"Wake up. You're going to be late if you sleep in," Yun Xiangxiang woke them up not-so-politely when she stepped into the room.
The trio foggily washed up before sitting around the table to have the snacks Yun Xiangxiang bought for them.
Tao Manni's eyes were still sleepy. "Xiangxiang, don't you need to get used to it? I wake up at ten during the holidays."
"I wake up at five thirty every day," Yun Xiangxiang replied.
Tao Manni was dazed. She decided to not speak. She lowered her head to finish her snacks.
"Oh yeah. Xiangxiang, the rankings for our course was released yesterday night. You are in third place." Ma Linlin remembered the main business. "Our class snagged two places in the top three. The class president is in top place. Second place comes from the class next door."
"Xiangxiang, give me some of those smarts," Feng Xiaolu was upset when she remembered that she had to retake the exam.
She went to class every day. Even when they say that a university student that does not skip class is a failed one, she still dared not to skip out on classes. Despite that, she still failed.
Yun Xiangxiang could still place third within their course even when she took nearly three months leave to film. Would that mean that she could be first place without leave?
"If you wake up at five thirty in the morning like I do, I guarantee you can be first place in our course."
Everyone was smart in this school. They were top students from their home. They did not need anyone else's smarts.
"Look at me. I look like this when I wake up now. Do you expect me to sleep with a book in my hand if I wake up at five?" Feng Xiaolu squinted.
"Bad news! Bad news!" Yun Xiangxiang was about to say something when Zhu Yuan rushed in hurriedly.
She dashed to stand in front of Yun Xiangxiang. Anxiously, she said, "Xiangxiang, the class president of the third class is appealing for a recheck of the results. She thinks that your results are not legit."
"My results are not legit?" Yun Xiangxiang was astonished.


Yun Xiangxiang was a well-regarded celebrity in her previous life. 
This life, she wants to be a proper actor. 
Have a good reputation, rather have nothing than everything and not rely on the words from her fans. The products are quality. Firmly plant her own feet to the ground and only rely on herself to take the throne, step by step. 
Yet, she accidentally got entangled with a world-class big shot.
Ever since then, the world-class big shot followed her on Weibo. He would gift her advanced technological goods for protection. Create rings that no one else can wear but her. He would glorify her family name so he can go through fire to watch over. 
Until he finally embraced her, "It's too dangerous for you. You can only be safe if you become my wife." 
Yun Xiangxiang: ...


Di Jiu nodded before he replied, "If I intervene now, I could save her. However, if we delay helping her, I can't guarantee that she will survive."
Signs of vitality were metaphysical. Di Jiu could sense the woman's slowly deteriorating signs of vitality, but he was uncertain when those signs would disappear completely.
Lin Bo fell to his knees with a loud sound and looked at Di Jiu earnestly as he pleaded, "Please save Lian Shayu…"
Lin Bo had no idea whether Di Jiu could actually save Lian Shayu, but the girl was already dead, so there could be no worse consequence than death. 
Di Jiu nodded as he told Lin Bo, "Please go to my room and bring my bag."
"Sure, sure!" Lin Bo did not ask Di Jiu how he intended to save the girl. He just rushed out and did as Di Jiu had requested.
As soon as Lin Bo left, Di Jiu started to quickly strike different acupuncture points on Lian Shayu's body. It was obvious that she had suffered from a heart-related disease, so Di Jiu did not understand Lin Bo's decision to administer a heartrate-quickening drug. However, that was no longer important. He just had to focus on the fact that Lian Shayu was not completely dead. 
There were many different cases of false death. In Lian Shayu's case, her heart had stopped temporarily, which had caused her to fall into a temporary death-like coma. If she remained in this state for a certain period of time, then she would die for real.
Back when Di Jiu had been studying medicine in the Ji Nation, the occurence of false death could be reversed with some extra effort. Di Jiu had practised the Major Conduit Internal Records and the Di Clan's Sabers' Qi, so each stroke he made was full of Essence Energy.
A constant stream of Essence Energy was being transferred from Di Jiu's strokes into Lian Shayu's body through her acupuncture points. Lin Bo, who had just returned with the backpack, watched in awe the speed that Di Jiu's hands moved over Lian Shayu's body. Lian Shayu's body ascended from the bed and started rolling in the air. Lin Bo could see clearly that Di Jiu's hands did not remain in contact with Lian Shayu's body for long.
What kind of skill was that?
Lin Bo, who had been a Deputy Chief Physician at the Ai Bo Hospital, could be considered an experienced doctor, yet he had never seen the moves that Di Jiu was executing before.
After more than 10 minutes of these strokes, Lian Shayu moved towards the floor. Lin Bo noticed a stream of hot air leaking from Di Jiu's forehead. This was almost similar to the legendary qigong.
As Lian Shayu descended, Di Jiu grabbed a few medicinal herbs from his backpack. He crushed the herbs by rubbing his hands together and placed them in Lian Shayu's mouth. He proceeded to keep administering the same strokes on her body. 
Lin Bo was excited to see Lian Shayu's throat move as she swallowed the crushed herbs Di Jiu had placed in her mouth.
When Di Jiu finished administering those strokes, he reached into his bag for a towel to wipe his sweat away. Then, he turned to Lin Bo and said, "She will be awake in a few minutes. You will need to find a way to explain how you saved her and take her away."
Lin Bo walked over to Lian Shayu's side and squeezed her wrist to check for her pulse. "She's awake… She has really come back to life!" Lin Bo said excitedly.
His excitement made him incoherent. Lian Shayu was still unconscious, but Lin Bo could feel a pulse on her wrist.
Di Jiu gave Lin Bo a pat on the shoulder before he said, "Calm down. She did not come back to life. She had never died in the first place. It was just a case of false death. She has not regained consciousness yet, but her blood circulation has been revived."
"Sir…" Lin Bo stuttered.
Di Jiu waved his hand indifferently as he replied, "My name is Di Jiu, Doctor Lin. Please do not call me sir. I have not earned it…"
Di Jiu was reminded of his time in Pearl City. Even though there had definitely been other loafers besides him and Qu Xiaoshu, who had not had a lot of experience in this occupation, they had still been highly respected and addressed politely.
"Yes, Master Di. Given your medical expertise, you could easily be appointed as the hospital's chief physician."
Di Jiu interrupted Lin Bo before he could finish his sentence. "Doctor Lin…"
"Please do not call me Doctor Lin, Master Di. You can address me by my name, or just call me Xiao Lin. That will do," Lin Bo said, placing his hands tensely against his sides.
Di Jiu's medical expertise had shocked Lin Bo, who was too excited to stay calm. As a medical practitioner, he felt a sense of admiration for Di Jiu.
Lin Bo's excitement showed accurately his admiration for medical expertise. Although most people would look up to Di Jiu's abilities, Lin Bo, who had been a Deputy Chief Physician at a hospital, knew clearly how high Di Jiu ranked in the medical field.
Di Jiu's technique was most definitely worth Lin Bo's respect. This had been a special technique used by the first major physician of the Ji Nation, Xue Tuo. The technique was called the Five-Yin Six-Yang Hand. 
In order to learn the Five-Yin Six-Yang Hand, Di Jiu had sought the support of his father, Di Shan, and even offered the Di Family's most treasured possession, an 1,000-year-old ginseng, to Xue Tuo as a gift. However, the 1,000-year-old ginseng alone had still been an inadequate price for this technique. It was the combination of the 1,000-year-old ginseng and the Di Family's status that had given Di Jiu the opportunity to master the Five-Yin Six-Yang Hand. 
The Five Yin, which were also known as the five elements, were the lungs, liver, kidney, heart, and spleen. Each element represented metal, water, wood, fire, and earth respectively. The Six Yang were the gallbladder, stomach, large intestine, bladder, and sanjiao. 
Di Jiu had mastered this technique better than Xue Tuo. After he had mastered the Major Conduit Internal Records and the Di Clan's first saber move, his display of the Five-Yin Six-Yang Hand had become more formidable than Xue Tuo's.
Di Jiu chuckled as he said, "Do you think it would be difficult for me to become a doctor given my medical expertise? I came here to seek peace though, and there is no place around the hospital that is quieter than this one. Therefore, you do not need to recommend me for a doctor position at the hospital or ask me to treat patients here."
"I'll keep that in mind," Lin Bo replied quickly. "Are you a Chinese Medicine practitioner, Doctor Di? Chinese Medicine takes longer to heal patients, but I thought it no longer mattered. I did not know that real Chinese Medicine was so powerful." 
"I am not a Chinese Medicine practitioner, but I have read about Chinese Medicine. Chinese Medicine is immensely profound. It actually follows the evolutionary theory of nature, so it is a natural means of human medical treatment. You are right, though. Chinese Medicine is unable to treat terminal illnesses," Di Jiu answered truthfully. 
Lin Bo looked at Di Jiu with a puzzled expression. "I saw you use two types of herbs just now and crush them with a certain technique…"
"In my opinion, Western Medicine is just a form of Chinese Medicine. The Yin and Yang already exist in nature, just like the male and female gender. If there is a Yin, there must also be a Yang. Every ailment has its medicinal cure. The reason Chinese Medicine may not be able to cure certain ailments is that the right medicinal herb has not been found yet. Western Medicine uses man-made techniques to extract the medicinal properties of these herbs to treat illnesses that Chinese Medicine cannot," Di Jiu explained patiently.
"Some people who studied Chinese Medicine created a lack of expertise in the field. Medicinal herbs may be scarce or hard to find, which makes Chinese Medicine less effective compared to Western Medicine. The decline of the practice of Chinese Medicine in the near future is normal and expected."
"How can we reverse this decline?" Lin Bo had completely forgotten where he was. He felt like he had gone back to the time when he had been asking questions at school.
"It's inevitable," Di Jiu replied coldly. 
Earth's resources were becoming increasingly scarce. The discovery of the Fairy Planet could ease the decline of Chinese Medicine in the short term, but it wouldn't do so for long. Human greed would continue to propel the decline of Chinese Medicine. The remaining quantity of medicinal herbs would run out, and mass production of man-made medicine would definitely take less effort than cultivating medicinal herbs. 
For the sake of efficiency and revenue, mankind would not spend any time cultivating medicinal herbs. It would rather invest time and energy into creating synthetic drugs for medicinal treatment.
"Ah… Doctor Lin? Where am I…" Lian Shayu, who had regained consciousness, interrupted Lin Bo's next question.
When she surveyed her surroundings and realized she was not in the hospital ward, she was relieved to see the familiar face of Doctor Lin.


In the endless Universe is eight primordial laws. Each of the eight laws have been fused with a supreme expert, but unbeknownst to everyone, there is a ninth law in the universe. It tears open the Primordial Chaos and is beyond reach.

Di Jiu—whose name is a homophone for 'ninth'—is the ungifted son of a powerful Di family clan in the Ji Nation as he lacks martial roots. Unwilling to resign to his fate, he practices medicine, hoping to one day cure himself. 

One day, the king orders a massacre of the Di family, forcing Di Jiu to flee. He ends up traveling to a portal into a post-modern Earth where cultivation has been made possible with the appearance of Planet Fairy.

What awaits Di Jiu in his bid to seek revenge and figure out the truth while he switches between dimensions?
