The Martial Doctor
Chapter 251 - 220: Fame Shakes Jinghua
Lin Miao never expected that in Li Jing, someone would use such a method to make him instantly famous throughout the capital.
A book titled "Medical Three Character Classics" ensured that the name "Lin Miao" was remembered by the medical community in Li Jing.
A seventeen-year-old young man writing such a medical enlightenment book left all those studying medicine feeling ashamed.
Such an unparalleled talent—there hasn’t been one for over a thousand years.
Thus, some people suspected that this was the work of a great medical expert, who published it under a younger generation’s name to gain fame. But, upon further thought, it seemed impossible. Even if such a talented person were already quite elderly, producing such an enlightening medical book would still earn the respect and admiration of the world.
Could someone be so indifferent to fame and fortune?
If indifferent to fame and fortune, why falsely attribute it to a young person’s hand? If this youth lacked real talent and learning, wouldn’t it harm him?
Although the book cannot contain all the profound truths of medicine, as an introduction, it is more than sufficient.
It can even be considered a reference book for diagnosis.
By reading and understanding it thoroughly, ordinary people can make simple judgments on medical conditions based on its guidance... 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
At this moment, another sensational news came from Prince Jing’s Mansion: the prescription that cured Prince Jing’s grandson of "rabies" was precisely provided by Lin Miao.
Moreover, this prescription cured more than one person afflicted with "rabies."
As long as there were the same symptoms, and it was effective in treating more than three people, it was considered a verified formula, eligible to be written into the "Supplement to the Classics" as a verified formula for future medical practitioners to refer to. Once one’s name is recorded, it becomes a name remembered in history.
For a time, Lin Miao’s reputation in the capital rivaled those of the other two participating in the "Path to Saint" trial, pharmacological masters Sun He and Xu Mito.
At least for now, in Li Jing, he overshadowed these two figures.
...
"Mr. Lin, crystal sugar has already started being sold in Li Hen City, priced thirty percent cheaper than through regular channels, but the supply can’t meet the demand," Si Miaoxue reported while lying in Lin Miao’s arms.
She had been in Li Hen City these past days, and upon finally returning, she naturally wanted to make up for the time she missed.
In the end, she was thoroughly exhausted and hoarse before she considered it done.
Having practiced the Moon Attraction Chapter, Lin Miao found that although his cultivation hadn’t increased much, his sense acuity had significantly sharpened.
Especially on nights with ample moonlight, he could even use it to detect the situation within several miles, like a small radar.
It seems this Moon Attraction Chapter is only a foundation; the truly good things are within the Moon God Record. The problem is, this divine skill can only be inherited by someone like the Saint Heir.
Thinking about it, it’s better to let it go.
"Next, I plan to set up the crystal sugar refining workshop outside the city, preferably in Li Hen City. However, we don’t have a foundation there yet, so it needs time..." Lin Miao said slowly with his eyes closed.
"When my master comes, we’ll take care of Scorpio and seize his scorpion nest. By then, we can move both the crystal sugar refining workshop and colorless glass manufacturing workshop there," Si Miaoxue said. The crystal sugar business is doing well, and although colored glass items can’t yet be sold in Li Hen City, once they can, it will also be a significant income stream.
Colored glass items are not consumables; no matter how big the market, it remains limited. But crystal sugar is different; as long as the refining technology is mastered, money can be made.
The issue is that the raw material, impure sugar, is too unstable and requires a stable supply channel.
"Is there still no news from Moon Worship Sect Headquarters?"
"If they really threw my master into the Moon Demon Prison, that place is easy to enter but hard to exit. Even if my master is released, it’s not easy for him to come out," Si Miaoxue said.
"Yue Mei’Er doesn’t know either?"
"Although the Yue clan controls the Moon Palace power, the Moon Demon Prison is where Moon Worship Sect detains its traitors and captured righteous sect masters. Who exactly is imprisoned there, even the Sect Leader may not know."
"Miaoxue, Miaoxue..." Speak of the devil and she shall appear; Yue Mei’Er unexpectedly found the place where Lin Miao and Si Miaoxue were meeting in private and was calling out Miaoxue’s name outside.
"Mr. Lin, did she come looking for you while I was away?"
"If she wants to see me, I can’t just avoid her. Besides, she still needs to disguise herself as Qin Yanran occasionally and visit Huaye Tower, otherwise many things would be hard to manage," Lin Miao said.
Si Miaoxue suddenly bit her lip lightly and asked, "So tell me, comparing between her and me, who do you feel happier with?"
Yue Mei’Er had asked the same question before, and this was basically a death trap question; there was no way to satisfy both of them with any answer.
"Miaoxue, which aspect do you want to ask about? Is it the cooperation between us just now, or something else?" Lin Miao tossed the question back.
Si Miaoxue immediately turned red with embarrassment.
"Miaoxue, actually I like you more. When you’re with me, you’re sincere, whereas Yue Mei’Er is just deliberately trying to please me. Although she has many tricks, she’s not genuine..." Lin Miao whispered reassuringly near her earlobe.
Women are emotional creatures; as long as you cater to their little moods, everything else is easy to handle.
"How many tricks have you actually played with her?" Si Miaoxue asked curiously.
"This..."
"Are you going to say it or not?"
"It’s not appropriate to say. You don’t have to compete with her in this regard either." Lin Miao truly didn’t know how to answer this question.
"I insist. Everything she knows, I want to know too. If I don’t know, I’ll learn it. I just don’t believe I can’t outdo her!"
