A thousand enlightenments in one night, starting from being a menial apprentice.

Chapter 173 Wenqing Lane

After Duan Rong achieved the second level of the Taizang Sutra, his spiritual consciousness could be released. In the past few days, when he was standing in a posture and circulating his internal breath, he also released his spiritual consciousness, and it penetrated his own body to observe the circulation of internal breath in the meridians and dantian.

This kind of spiritual exploration is different from the internal vision during the practice of internal energy.

That kind of "inner vision" is actually a vague perception. It is a comprehensive inner vision formed through the perception of qi and meridians, the sensation of internal organs, and the induction between the mind and the internal breath in the meridians and dantian.

However, when Duan Rong used his spiritual consciousness to observe the body, the detail and precision of his observation far exceeded the "inner vision" when practicing internal skills.

After such careful and precise observation, many problems were discovered.

Duan Rong discovered that the prescription Xiao Zongting gave him was strong enough. During the entire process of circulating the internal energy, the medicinal power between the meridians and internal organs would be continuously stimulated and gathered into the internal energy in the meridians.

However, the penetrability of these medicinal powers is very weak. Although they surge and evaporate in the large meridians, once they reach the slightly thinner meridians, the medicinal power lingers and accumulates outside the meridians, and can never squeeze in...

If one only used internal vision to observe, one would not be able to see these delicate details, but when Duan Rong used his spiritual sense to check, he could see them very clearly.

In the meridian circulation path of the third level of inner breath, the participation of these thin meridians reached nearly one-third. In other words, if Duan Rong could solve the problem of the penetration of the medicinal power and allow the medicinal power to penetrate into the thinner meridians, then his inner breath cultivation speed would be able to increase.

Moreover, this problem is not unique to the third level. Now, Duan Rong has already swallowed the Five Tigers and Sheep Sabre of the Great Perfection Realm, and the fourth level of internal energy. Although he has not yet started to practice, he already knows the way it works.

In the meridian circulation path of the fourth level of internal breath, the participation of these thin meridians is even higher. In the internal breath cultivation of the great success realm, the participation of these thin meridians is nearly half.

"If I can solve the problem of the drug's penetration, the speed of my internal energy training will be greatly improved!"

"Moreover, this problem of insufficient drug penetration will have a greater impact on the fourth level of inner breath cultivation."

Duan Rong's eyes were solemn, and he finally made up his mind to try to solve this problem.

As the saying goes, sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood. What if it is solved?

"If we want to solve this problem, we have to start with the single prescription and the medicinal properties of the herbs..." Duan Rong stood in the courtyard, muttering to himself with a deep look in his eyes.

Wenqing Lane, which intersects with West Street, is not far from the South City. Compared with the prosperous area of West Street, it is obviously dilapidated.

The shops on both sides of the street also looked much older and dirtier.

There is a clinic located at the southeast corner of the intersection of Wenqing Lane and West Street. The owner of this clinic is Gu Suxiu, who treated Xiao Baiqiao with acupuncture.

After having breakfast in the backyard, Gu Suxiu opened the door of the clinic. Then he lit three incense sticks to the Buddha statue enshrined in the shrine on the side of the clinic door, bowed three times, and inserted the incense into the incense burner.

Gu Suxiu's family believes in Buddhism, and it seems that it started from his grandfather. This belief and medical skills have been passed down in the family.

It's normal for them to be a family of doctors, they are kind-hearted and capable!

After worshiping the Buddha, Gu Suxiu brewed a cup of tea and sat in front of the desk. He turned a pair of nanmu palm beads in his hands while flipping through a copy of an ancient book on the art of acupuncture.

The pair of nanmu palm beads in Gu Suxiu's hand were made by him when he was in his early twenties. This pair of palm beads has accompanied him for more than thirty years...

Each palm bead has six smooth protrusions on it, and the total number of protrusions on the two beads is twelve.

There are many acupuncture points on the palm, and rolling and rubbing the palm beads in the palm all year round has the effect of invigorating the qi and massaging. Gu Suxiu has been rolling the palm beads all year round, and it has become a subconscious and natural action. Whether he is reading or sitting, or even taking a nap at noon, he always keeps the beads in his hands. The two nanmu palm beads, under his constant rubbing, have a layer of shiny patina on the surface...

Duan Rong arrived at the entrance of Wenqing Lane early in the morning when no one was in the clinic, only to find that the clinic was already open.

The clinic's facade is not very large, but there is an awning along the wall outside, with a few stools inside the awning for patients to rest while waiting to see them.

Next to the door of the clinic, there was a very eye-catching wooden sign with the words "Su Xiu Medical Clinic" written on it in neat and powerful handwriting.

On both sides of the door, there is a rather old and peeling wooden couplet hanging: I wish there was no illness or suffering in the world, I would rather the medicine on the shelf turn to dust.

Duan Rong glanced at the couplet, his eyes moved slightly, and he used his spiritual sense to find Gu Suxiu sitting alone in the clinic, so he walked into the clinic.

Gu Suzheng was looking at the copy of the ancient book on acupuncture when he suddenly saw a shadow flash at the door of the clinic. Apparently someone came in.

Gu Suxiu stood up immediately and saw a young man of about seventeen or eighteen years old coming in. He had a square face, bright eyes and a calm demeanor.

Gu Suxiu's heart moved, he had recognized Duan Rong.

Although they had only met once before Xiao Baiqiao's death, Gu Suxiu was deeply impressed by Duan Rong.

Because Duan Rong's acupuncture technique had some traces of the plum blossom acupuncture technique passed down from his family, he felt that this young man might have some connection with his Gu family...

"I wonder why you are here, Mr. Duan?" Gu Suxiu looked at Duan Rong and asked with a kind smile.

Duan Rong was slightly stunned. He did not expect that Gu Suxiu would recognize him immediately. He originally thought that after just a brief meeting, Gu Suxiu should have forgotten him after several months. However, he did not expect that this old doctor had a photographic memory.

Duan Rong chuckled and said, "I've been feeling a bit anxious lately and often can't sleep well at night. I wonder what the symptom is?"

Gu Suxiu's eyes flickered slightly. As the saying goes, a doctor observes, listens, asks, and palpates. Duan Rong stepped into the hall. He had already observed that this young man had a steady step, a warm and bright gaze, and a light and long breathing. Not only was he not sick, but he was much healthier than an ordinary person.

Therefore, when the other party walked into the clinic, he asked what he was doing, which seemed unnecessary. Because, in his opinion, Duan Rong was not here to see a doctor.

As the saying goes, an expert can tell whether there is a disease or not with just one look. Gu Suxiu was actually right. Duan Rong was indeed not here to see a doctor. However, since Duan Rong had already described the symptoms, he couldn't just dismiss it out of hand. Firstly, it would be too embarrassing. Secondly, he had to feel the pulse before he could confirm it.

"Please take a seat, young friend!" Gu Suxiu extended his hand and offered a cushioned chair in front of his examination table.

Duan Rong sat down and placed his hand on the pulse-taking pillow. Gu Suxiu wiped his hand with a cotton towel, probed his pulse, and after two breaths, signaled to change the other hand.

Gu Suxiu wiped his hands and glanced at Duan Rong. He confirmed that Duan Rong was not ill. If a person did not sleep well for several nights in a row, his pulse would never be so strong and steady, continuous and powerful without any stagnation.

Gu Suxiu smiled and said, "My friend, you may be worrying too much. It's nothing serious. I'll prescribe a mild prescription to calm your nerves. You should be fine after taking two doses."

Gu Suxiu wrote a prescription and looked up and said, "These are common herbs. I have them in my clinic. I'll give them to you. Is that okay?"

"Of course, that's even better! Thank you, Mr. Gu!" Duan Rong said with a simple smile.
