Chapter 33 Mutual Learning
He Sui agreed to Li Muyang's request to assist in the research and integration of martial arts systems.
However, regarding the matter of becoming an apprentice, after discussing medical techniques with Li Muyang, the old gentleman said: "Each has their own approach!"
He Sui discovered that while Li Muyang complained that he was a veterinarian, he only had a great grasp of theoretical knowledge and his practical medical skills were not high. The problem was that his theoretical knowledge was more complete, comprehensive, and systematic than the medical system he knew!
In fact, Li Muyang could answer many of the medical questions that he only knew a little about but not the whole picture.
In addition to those so-called cells and bacteria... Li Muyang even took out a microscope!
This led Grandpa He Sui to admit that he couldn't teach him, to be honest! At most, he could only give Li Muyang some pointers! On the contrary, he could learn more from Li Muyang! And he mainly guided Li Muyang in practical treatment methods.
Feng Ling Yu Xiu was, after all, from ancient times. He Sui's medical skills were indeed very advanced for that era, arguably the pinnacle of traditional Chinese medicine! However, due to limitations in equipment and resources, many aspects of traditional Chinese medicine could not be explained scientifically. Ancient medical knowledge was not as systematic and comprehensive as modern knowledge, but it did contain many unique treatment methods and medical theories.
In short, traditional Chinese medicine treats you so you live in a daze, while Western medicine treats you so you die knowing exactly what's going on.
Of course, true traditional Chinese medicine practitioners cannot be truly confused; they certainly have their own system and content, and possess a certain degree of scientific basis. It is impossible for them to be completely without any foundation.
For example, Li Muyang was also familiar with the concepts of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements in Traditional Chinese Medicine, the diagnostic methods of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and the principal, assistant, adjuvant, and guide herbs in Traditional Chinese Medicine. He had read about these in medical books, but before this, he had always overestimated He Sui's medical skills.
I thought that with just a few silver needles, He Sui could cure most diseases in the world!
He Sui (；￣д￣): Young Master Li, you are the disciple of the immortal sect! We need to be scientific! I am definitely not as magical as you imagine!
Now it turns out that it's not as amazing as I imagined, but it's not disappointing to Li Muyang either!
Therefore, the old man and the young man did not hesitate too much about the matter of becoming apprentices and settled on it, each going their own way!
This brought a sigh of relief to Nan Ying and Nan Sheng, who were standing nearby! The mother and daughter were both afraid that Li Muyang would really become He Sui's apprentice!
Nan Ying was worried that if Li Muyang really became her junior brother, she would have to change how she addressed him! Nan Ying had always felt incredibly grateful to Li Muyang for being able to awaken her! Along the way, the two got along very well, like siblings!
The difference between a junior brother and a sworn brother isn't that big, is it? However, a large part of Nan Ying's feelings for Li Muyang comes from her gratitude and desire to repay a debt of gratitude, and only secondarily from her sibling affection.
Nan Ying wasn't much older than Li Muyang. You have to know that women in ancient times married early. Nan Ying had been dead for about ten years. If you really want to compare their ages, she was only seven or eight years older than Li Muyang.
When Nan Ying and Nan Sheng stand together now, they don't look like mother and daughter at all, but rather like sisters!
As for Nan Sheng... she was still thinking about finding an opportunity to flirt with Li Muyang, but now that he's her senior uncle, how can she flirt with him?
Don't get me wrong, she just wants to tease straight men! She, the Great Master Nan Sheng, loves men who offer a challenge!
After discussing the matter, He Sui, who was studying a Qi cultivation textbook, remembered something else and told Bai Yuxiu, who was standing beside her, "Young lady, although it's not appropriate for you to go find your mother right now, there is a relative of yours here who lives in seclusion nearby! You can go find her! Perfect timing! She has a deep understanding of the Wuxiang Gong! Perhaps she can be of help to you!"
"Huh? Are you talking about my great-aunt Bai Yue?" Bai Yuxiu asked in surprise.
He Sui was taken aback: "Huh? You already knew she lived nearby?"
Bai Yuxiu pointed to Li Muyang, who was still browsing medical books, and said, "It was Brother Li who told me, including the problem of the Wuxiang Gong having a mental demon defect, so he has always prevented me from overdoing it."
He Sui stroked his beard and nodded with admiration. This young man is a kind-hearted person!
After the conversation, He Sui had a better understanding of Li Muyang's situation. Li Muyang was just an outsider, and the affairs of Wuxiang City had nothing to do with him. But now, this outsider was willing to get involved in this matter because of his friendship with Bai Yuxiu! Just to get justice for Wuxiang City!
Inner moral cultivation and the pursuit of social fairness and justice! This is the manifestation of chivalry among young people!
Just like Li Muyang told his mother, his character and morals are so noble that it's hard for him to do anything wrong! He speaks out against injustice and acts decisively when necessary!
As for proving Wuxiang City's innocence, it can be said that Li Muyang's actions were entirely voluntary and had nothing to do with the system. The mission did not require Li Muyang to seek justice for Wuxiang City.
Perhaps his friendship with Bai Yuxiu played a part, but it certainly wasn't the fundamental reason! Even without Bai Yuxiu, Li Muyang wouldn't mind seeking justice for Wuxiang City while completing his mission! Because this would restore order to the martial world!
He just can't stand those hypocritical, respectable people from prestigious families! And those villains who do wrong but refuse to admit it and make others take the blame! They should be dealt with if they can!
The reason He Sui still values Li Muyang's character is because of what someone did to them back then! He doesn't want another Wuxiang City tragedy to happen again! A person who dares to take responsibility is more likely to become his partner!
After discussing taking Bai Yuxiu to find Bai Yue, He Sui was also prepared to swallow his pride and ask Bai Yue for help in order to study the martial arts system. He was alright in terms of medical skills and his strength was passable, but he was definitely no match for Bai Yue, who was focused on cultivation!
Great-aunt (Tianshan Child Granny) is so cute!
Besides, more people mean more strength!
No one objected. Nan Ying went wherever Li Muyang went, Feng Ling'er went wherever Bai Yuxiu went, and Nan Sheng was acting as a guide for everyone on the orders of the Pavilion Master, and also wanted to spend more time with her mother!
Just as I was about to leave, two uninvited guests arrived.
The two laborers, the Fist Master and the Weapon Master, from the Netherworld.
Well, in a sense, neither of them is weak, but working for Youming seems more like they're doing it for the money? There's a relaxed vibe to it, like working for someone else? They do their best in their tasks, never push things, and even show some sportsmanship when fighting?
Anyway, Li Muyang didn't have a bad impression of either of them in the original story, so he naturally wouldn't deliberately make things difficult for them.
The two men were there to invite He Sui to come out of retirement, or to ask her to hand over the notes she had taken when she researched the Red Yang Blood Essence.
Perfect timing! These two are just right to show He Sui my abilities!
"Come, come! Didn't you two want my teacher's notes? I just became his apprentice and haven't given him my apprenticeship gift yet." Li Muyang waved his hand, causing the surrounding air to move rapidly and creating ripples, and said with great interest, "Let's have a match! If I win, you two can pretend you never saw my teacher today. If I lose, you're free to do as you please!"
The two looked at He Sui, and the old man nodded, which was considered as agreeing with Li Muyang's words. He was also curious about Li Muyang's methods!
Seeing that He Sui agreed, Quan Jue and Qi Jue naturally had no objections! They were just following orders!
"Let's all come at once, we're in a hurry!" Li Muyang's aura had reached its peak! A continuous vortex of airflow surrounded him.
"This young man! Isn't he a bit too confident?" Although Quan Jue and Qi Jue could sense that Li Muyang was extraordinary, they didn't believe that the two of them together couldn't beat him!
"There's something strange about this kid. His internal energy is only at the Great Ascension stage, but he has other tricks up his sleeve. The vortex he created is stronger than that of a Grandmaster! Don't underestimate him!" Qi Juejue whispered to Quan Jue, "You better not shirk your duties later!"
Quan Jue said with disappointment, "In your eyes, is that the kind of person I am?"
Qi Jue snorted coldly: "Isn't that so?"
Before he finished speaking, several scalpel-like throwing knives flew out and swept towards Li Muyang.
Li Muyang didn't move at all, but gathered the throwing knives around his body with just his qi vortex. Then, a powerful and heavy punch came down towards Li Muyang!
He dared not use the vortex to block it, as the fist's energy would devour the vortex and increase its power. So Li Muyang swung out a palm strike, and the fist felt the force on his fist inexplicably change direction, rushing back towards him against all reason! Secondly, his own body! It was as if it was violating the laws of physics!
He was instantly sent flying!
Qi Jue momentarily forgot to continue harassing Li Muyang and hurriedly came behind Quan Jue, trying to stop him. However, he found that the immense force coming from him was impossible to stop. The two of them struggled for a long time, sliding all the way out of He Sui's yard, and finally managed to stabilize themselves by leaning against a wall.
"Wow! What kind of power is that?" Quan Jue exclaimed in disbelief as soon as he stopped. "What kind of energy is that?"
"A parry." Lightly leaping to a distance from the two, Li Muyang calmly explained, "Simply put, it's like amplifying the force you used to hit me and returning it to you!"
The fist and weapon masters were clearly dumbfounded. This didn't conform to the rules of martial arts! Their internal energy was only used to strengthen, deflect, and strike in multiple layers. When faced with Li Muyang's unreasonable counterattack, they didn't know what to do for a moment!
"That kid wasn't telling the truth! The force I felt just now wasn't just from his fist! It was from his entire body! It felt like the weightlessness of falling from a great height! Only from a different direction!" Fist Master whispered to Weapon Master.
Qi Jue's eyes sharpened: "Understood! This is really tough!"
Who says ancient people were stupid? Weren't they quite clever? They might not have understood what gravity was, but they understood the feeling of weightlessness when falling from a great height!
Li Muyang lightly clenched two fingers, and a whirlwind gathered at his fingertips. As he threw it out, he teased, "You two are much smarter than I thought. You realized my ability in just one move. Well then, you'd better be even more serious from now on!"
What appeared to be a small whirlwind was like a butterfly effect! As it was thrown out, it grew larger and larger, soon forming a tornado with unstoppable force! Roaring, it attacked the two of them, who could barely maintain their balance in the storm, and would be blown away at the slightest mistake!
