Chapter 8

Hua Tuo saw Su Xuan's reading speed, which was like play, and his eyelids twitched slightly. He wanted to say something, but considering the monstrous comprehension Su Xuan had shown earlier, he decided to wait.

After the assessment, if Su Xuan truly understood the content of these medical books, then naturally there would be no issue.

If not, then he would have to have a good talk with him.

"Clap!"

Half an hour later, Su Xuan closed the last bamboo scroll, looked up at Hua Tuo, and said: "Sir, I have finished reading and memorizing these books, and I am confident I have a relatively deep understanding; please verify it."

"Oh? Alright! Let's try!"

Hua Tuo was prepared and didn't say much, immediately starting to ask Su Xuan questions from the medical books one by one, interspersed with some flexible applications of the content.

But Su Xuan answered them all fluently, and every time, he had his own unique insights.

Moreover, in Hua Tuo's view, these insights were very insightful.

This was truly extraordinary.

"Hoo! You really have had an awakening! Even geniuses aren't as outrageous as you! I feel that before long, you will surpass me in medical arts! I really don't know what to say!"

Hua Tuo sighed with a complex expression.

In the past, he had always been the medical genius in the eyes of others, and he had often seen the frustration of those whose talent was inferior to his when facing him.

He couldn't understand their feelings in the past, but today he finally felt it himself.

"Hehe! It's all because of your good teaching! Your medical books are summarized very detailedly and systematically, helping me clear the basic hurdles of medicine!"

"Now, I can also understand and thoroughly comprehend the content of the medical books I collected myself!"

Su Xuan smiled modestly.

"Hmm!"

Hua Tuo nodded with a smile: "As long as it's useful to you! Come, let's continue learning! Let me see where your limit is!"

"Since you have time these few days, it would be best if you could graduate directly; I would be more than happy!"

"We have to run the medical academy later, and I expect to be very busy!"

Half an hour ago, Su Lie had come to see Hua Tuo to discuss the specific location of the medical academy and the recruitment of students.

The medical academy was temporarily set in a manor of the Su family in Dengxian County.

The first batch of students would be selected from the children of the Su family's tenants and the children of refugees nearby.

Based on youths between 10 and 15 years old.

It is estimated that it will be ready in three or four days.

"Good!"

Su Xuan nodded in agreement.

PS: New book uploaded, requesting collections, flowers, and ratings!

Immediately, Hua Tuo began to teach Su Xuan medical arts earnestly.

How to describe the process?

Quite smooth.

Hua Tuo felt he had never been so satisfied.

For every piece of knowledge he taught, Su Xuan could not only remember and understand it completely but also draw inferences.

He didn't need to repeat his explanations and teaching at all.

This greatly increased the speed of teaching.

During this process, Su Xuan's medical level was also improving at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Every day after finishing his studies with Hua Tuo, Su Xuan would also compare and summarize them with the medical books from his past-life memories, and conduct deep contemplation and research.

This made his medical level soar even faster.

In just 4 days, Hua Tuo felt he had nothing left to teach.

"The knowledge I have here has been emptied by you! I have even explained all the medical cases to you; next, you only lack practical operation!"

"And I believe that with your monstrous comprehension, practical operation probably won't be a problem either!"

"Congratulations!"

"It just so happens that the medical academy is about to start, so I won't keep you any longer! You have graduated!"

Hua Tuo looked at Su Xuan with a complex expression.

He was practically kicking him out.

Think about it: he had studied medicine for decades and pondered for decades, yet in just 4 days, his knowledge and experience had been emptied by a young man.

Hua Tuo was even a bit jealous.

This talent—Heaven is unfair!

"Hehe! Sir, you are too kind! I am still far from it! I still need to learn a lot from you in the future!"

Su Xuan smiled modestly, then added: "Right! Sir, I need to go to Wancheng; there is a very important patient there who needs treatment."

"This person is not only my relative but also relates to whether I can recruit a great general's talent, so could I ask you to go with me to see the patient?"

After these few days of cultivation and daily nourishment, he felt his physique could keep up with an ordinary person's, and he could travel.

The formation of the private army naturally had to be put on the agenda.

This required Huang Zhong, a great general skilled in leading and training troops.

"Hmm?"

Hua Tuo raised an eyebrow and asked in confusion: "Your medical arts have actually surpassed mine in many aspects; what do you need me for? Can't you just go yourself?"

Isn't this an unnecessary move?

"It's different!"

Su Xuan shook his head helplessly: "Medical arts alone are not enough; for a famous doctor, reputation is the most important thing! Otherwise, who would dare to trust my medical arts?"

"To avoid being looked down upon and misunderstood, I'd better ask you to go with me!"

He was too young, and he had only been studying medicine for a few days without verification; who would dare to believe his medical arts had already surpassed Hua Tuo's?

Isn't that nonsense?

"Is that so? Hahaha! So you have days like this too, kid!"

Hua Tuo laughed: "That is indeed the logic! Alright! Then I will go with you! However, this treatment will still be led by you; consider it your graduation test!"

"Good! Then many thanks!"

Su Xuan nodded with satisfaction: "There is no time to lose; let's set off now! I have already ordered people to prepare the horses and luggage! Let's not delay!"

"You! Alright, let's go!"

Hua Tuo pointed at Su Xuan with amusement, didn't talk nonsense, and immediately stood up to follow Su Xuan, setting off for Wancheng.

Dengxian County is only 200-plus li away from Wancheng; they were riding top-tier warhorses, so they arrived in Wancheng around noon that day.

After finding a restaurant and having lunch, Su Xuan found Huang Zhong's house according to the address his mother gave him and knocked on the door.

"Who are you?"

A burly middle-aged man with graying temples opened the door, saw Su Xuan and Hua Tuo, and asked with a puzzled look.

His face was full of exhaustion and bitterness.

"Are you Uncle Huang, Huang Zhong?"

Su Xuan stepped forward, handed over a letter, and said: "I am Su Xuan, son of Su Lie, the county magistrate of Dengxian County. My mother is from the Mianyang Huang family; this is a letter she asked me to give to you. You will understand after reading it!"

According to his mother, Huang Zhong was of the same generation as her, so calling him Uncle Huang was definitely no problem.

It was just right to pull the relationship closer!

"Oh?"

Huang Zhong was stunned, quickly took the letter, didn't open it yet, but made a gesture of invitation: "So it's Young Master Su! Please, both of you, come inside first!"

"Then many thanks!"

Su Xuan and Hua Tuo didn't stand on ceremony and followed Huang Zhong into the living room.

Huang Zhong had someone serve them tea, then he opened the letter, read it carefully, stood up with a "swish," and asked excitedly: "Young master, sir, is what the letter says true?"

"Do you really have a way to cure my son?"

As he spoke, he looked at Hua Tuo with excitement and trepidation: "This must be the divine doctor Hua Tuo mentioned in the letter, right? I was rude before; please forgive me! I wonder if you could take a look at my son?"

Hua Tuo and Su Xuan looked at each other, understanding Huang Zhong's anxious heart, and Hua Tuo stood up and nodded: "Then let's go take a look first!"

"Good! Please follow me, divine doctor!"
