Chapter 5

"Sir, you are being too serious!"

Su Xuan smiled and replied, but he was very satisfied with Hua Tuo's stance in his heart.

He then put on a stern face and looked at his three younger brothers, saying sharply: "You all heard what Sir said, right? You absolutely must not leak these three cultivation methods, understand? Otherwise, our family might face a catastrophe!"

Su Yu and the others were startled and hurriedly expressed their stance:

"Yes! Big Brother! We understand! We will absolutely not leak them!"

"Right!"

"Exactly!"

They weren't stupid; of course, they knew the severity of the situation.

"Hmm!"

Su Xuan nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Hua Tuo and cupped his hands: "Sir! I am very interested in medical arts. Furthermore, I have a precious medical classic in my collection. Why don't you move to the study so we can chat?"

Although Hua Tuo had already sworn an oath and, given the character of the ancients and Hua Tuo himself, it was impossible for him to leak them, Su Xuan wanted to keep Hua Tuo even more.

He prepared to strike while the iron was hot and win Hua Tuo over directly.

"Then I shall respectfully obey!"

Hua Tuo paused for a moment, then cupped his hands in agreement.

He immediately followed Su Xuan to his study.

Su Xuan directly handed over a medical book written and bound with silk, with the title "Qianjin Fang" written on the cover.

He said to Hua Tuo: "Sir, this is the medical book. You can take a look first!"

"Oh?"

Hua Tuo took the medical book in surprise, thinking to himself, there really is a medical book?

He had previously thought this was just an excuse Su Xuan made because he was worried about him leaving.

Now it seemed he had judged a gentleman with a small mind.

Shame! Shame!

He immediately began to flip through it with embarrassment.

Upon reading it, he was deeply attracted by this medical book.

He became completely immersed in it.

Seeing this, Su Xuan smiled slightly. He wasn't in a hurry; he sat down, drank tea, waited, and began to organize and deeply comprehend the three newly created cultivation methods.

Half an hour later,

"Hoo..."

Hua Tuo suddenly broke free from the medical book, let out a long breath, and then cupped his hands toward Su Xuan with an apologetic look: "Apologies! I accidentally became immersed in it!"

"This is truly a good medical book! I, Hua Tuo, am unworthy of it! Please take it back, Young Master!"

"Furthermore, I will keep today's kindness in my heart. In the future, if the Young Master's family has any orders, no matter where I am, I will rush over as quickly as possible."

He had a good memory; although he hadn't memorized it completely in one go, he had remembered fifty or sixty percent.

The key was that the medical knowledge within it provided great inspiration and improvement for his own medical skills.

This was absolutely a peerless work by a divine doctor.

This person's medical skills were at least not below his own, and it was highly likely they exceeded his.

Hua Tuo believed that with this knowledge, once he digested it properly, his medical skills would inevitably reach a higher level.

"Hey! Sir, what are you saying?"

Su Xuan hurriedly waved his hand, stood up, and cupped his hands in a salute: "Sir's life-saving kindness comes first; how could I dare to claim credit?"

"If Sir really feels bad about it, I have a proposal that benefits both sides. Would you like to hear it?"

"Oh?"

Hua Tuo's heart stirred upon hearing this. He raised his hand in a gesture of invitation: "Young Master, please speak."

Su Xuan was happy in his heart and immediately said: "After this life-and-death experience, I deeply felt the importance of a divine doctor."

"I intend to establish a medical school in Deng County and invite you, Sir, to serve as the dean and teach medical knowledge."

"At the same time, I also want to learn medical skills from you for a period of time. What does Sir think?"

"This..."

Hua Tuo hesitated upon hearing this.

His life's ambition was to travel the world, hanging up his pot to save the world and help people.

He was certainly unwilling to be stuck in one place.

Su Xuan saw his hesitation and immediately added: "I'll add one thing: I have several more medical books like the Qianjin Fang in my possession. As long as you agree, Sir, these medical books will be presented to you with both hands."

"Really?"

Hua Tuo stood up excitedly upon hearing this, his eyes burning as he looked at Su Xuan.

He knew all too well how rare the Qianjin Fang was.

To have one such divine book was already a stroke of heaven-sent luck, and Su Xuan actually said he had several more?

Hua Tuo admitted he was tempted.

"Naturally, it's true! How could I deceive you, Sir?"

Su Xuan smiled and nodded, his heart blooming with joy.

I don't believe you won't be tempted.

"Sigh... Young Master, you really have given me a difficult problem!"

Hua Tuo came to his senses and began to feel a headache.

Agreeing wasn't right, but not agreeing, he couldn't bear to let it go.

Su Xuan felt it was about time and immediately continued to persuade him: "I know your life's ambition, Sir, is to save the world, but saving the world doesn't necessarily mean you have to travel the world and do everything yourself!"

"Think about it, Sir! How many people can you save with just your own body? A thousand? Or ten thousand?"

Hua Tuo shook his head: "Ten thousand is too exaggerated! I have been practicing medicine for decades, and the patients I've saved are only a thousand or so!"

"That's exactly it!"

Su Xuan clapped his hands and smiled: "The strength of one person is limited after all!"

"But if you stay, Sir, and teach a large number of physicians in the medical school, it would be completely different!"

"Teaching one person means at least a thousand more people can be saved."

"Teaching ten people means ten thousand more can be saved. Then what about teaching a hundred or a thousand?"

"If you want to save the world, relying on the strength of one person won't work."

"Only by teaching enough qualified physicians is the right path. What do you think, Sir?"

If I don't trick you into staying, how am I supposed to get ahead?
