The destiny of all heavens begins in the Red Chamber

At the crucial moment, the fair-skinned youth lightly tapped his feet, and his body suddenly soared into the air.

Using the fierce punch from the burly young man, his lithe and slender body flipped twice in mid-air before his feet landed firmly on the ground, showing no discomfort whatsoever from the heavy blow.

"I'm not playing anymore! It's so boring because I can't hit anyone!"

The burly young man stopped, and said irritably, "Brother Huan, how did you train to be so agile? You're too skillful!"

If any servants from the General's Mansion were here, they would immediately recognize that this tall and robust young man, who was no less impressive than an ordinary sixteen or seventeen-year-old, was none other than Jia Cong, the nobody from the General's Mansion.

Needless to say, the fair-skinned young man whom he addressed as "Brother Huan" was none other than Jia Huan.

Just now, the two of them got so into discussing martial arts that they decided to have a friendly spar right there on the threshing ground.

The final result was the same as any previous match: a draw.

After each sparring session, the pride that had risen in Jia Cong's heart because of his success in cultivating the martial arts training method passed down from his ancestors would immediately vanish.

Of course, none of the men watching dared to underestimate Third Master Cong, who was only eleven years old and already 1.7 meters tall.

At least, in a head-on fight, none of them could win.

No one felt any envy or jealousy. Anyone who knew about Master Cong's cultivation process was amazed and gave him a thumbs up, praising him as "impressive."

That was really extreme training; it was terrifying to watch!

I overslept yesterday, sorry.

The two brothers sparred for a while, and both were covered in sweat and looked quite disheveled.

Ignoring the flattery of the onlookers, he went straight into the village head's residence not far away.

This area has been requisitioned by Jia Huan, and the village head has built another house for him to live in.

Once we arrived at the main hall and sat down, a maidservant immediately brought us a fragrant meat soup and salted boiled water, as we needed to replenish what we had just used up.

The two brothers didn't say anything. After their breathing stabilized, they quickly finished the broth and also drank all the salted water.

They finally breathed a long sigh of relief, looked each other up and down with smiles, and then burst into laughter.

A year is enough time for the two brothers to undergo tremendous changes!

Jia Cong has been practicing martial arts for more than three years now, and has been honing his skills in training generals for a year. With ample resources and no need to worry about anything else, his training results are very promising.

His height and build are telling; at just over 1.7 meters tall for an eleven-year-old, that's quite remarkable by today's standards. Not to mention, he's not skinny; he has a strong and powerful physique.

His martial arts skills are quite impressive, even among ordinary martial arts masters in the martial arts world!

The key point is that he has already mastered the training methods for martial arts, and his strength has increased rapidly. He can wield a fifty-pound stone lock with one hand with ease, making him a true little strongman!

Anyone who isn't blind and sees him at this moment knows he's definitely a hero!

If properly trained, they could be placed in the army or sent to the Dragon Guard for training, and who knows, they might rise to prominence.

Given his current age and strength, he would rank among the top even when competing with a group of fifteen or sixteen-year-olds, and his potential for further improvement is considerable.

Unfortunately, Lord She was completely blind to the truth!

It's not that I haven't met Jia Cong; I've met him a few times a year, but I haven't shown him any interest whatsoever.

Jia Lian, for reasons unknown, was clearly quite surprised by Jia Cong's change, yet he didn't mention it to Master She, leaving Jia Cong still relatively unknown.

Fortunately, Jia Huan comforted her and helped her relieve her displeasure, which prevented her from doing anything foolish.

Anyway, he's still young. When he gets older, he can directly take the martial arts examination to become a martial arts graduate or even a martial arts scholar. At that time, it won't matter whether he has the Rong family's resources or not.

Given Master She's cold attitude, this kid is probably really heartbroken.

Of course, Jia Cong's method of training military officers is only at the very beginning. He will need to spend more effort and hard work to practice in the future. Only when he can easily handle a hundred-pound stone lock will he be considered to have achieved some success.

In the military, he would already be a rare and fierce general capable of charging into battle.

If the general trend of the original Dream of the Red Chamber does not change, by the time he is about to come of age, the borders will be engulfed in war and the army will be needed to conquer all sides.

According to Jia Huan's thinking, whether Jia Cong goes to the north or the south, he will have a good chance to make a name for himself!

Who knows, by relying on solid combat achievements, he might be able to earn himself a military rank!

Even if he doesn't stay in the army, according to the martial arts masters outside, he's already a rare and powerful figure in the martial arts world. When Jia Cong comes of age, he could even start his own sect.

Anyway, once Jia Cong mastered the basics of martial arts training, his future was secure.

As he gets older, whether he chooses to pursue a military career or wander the martial arts world is entirely up to him, and Jia Huan has no intention of forcibly interfering.

He didn't believe that Jia Cong was practically his protégé and would have to follow his lead in the future. He wasn't that calculating or domineering.

As for Jia Huan himself, he has also changed quite a bit!

The biggest change is the progress bar for breathing exercises displayed by the cheat system, which has surged to eight percent, a leap forward indeed.

It is estimated that the effects of persisting in breathing exercises are gradually beginning to appear on the body.

Although he didn't train as hard as Cong Ge'er, nor did he undergo more intensive martial arts training, his physical fitness improved just as quickly.

She's almost ten years old now and already 1.6 meters tall.

Although he is not as explosive as Cong Ge'er, he is well-proportioned and not thin.

Key attributes such as strength, agility, and speed are all quite impressive.

Otherwise, Cong-ge wouldn't have complained about how frustrating it was to fight him during their sparring sessions.

Although Jia Huan had only learned some martial arts routines, his extremely strong physique made his attacks exceptionally powerful.

What's most special is its extreme speed; it's no exaggeration to describe it as moving like the wind!

Not only are their attacks swift as the wind, but their movement speed is also incredibly fast. Once they start running at full speed, they are almost as fast as a galloping horse, though of course they cannot sustain this speed for long.

Besides physical fitness, medical skills have also improved significantly.

He would conduct free medical consultations twice a year in the fields outside the city, and gradually he gained a reputation for it.

Not only tenant farmers belonging to the Rong family estate, but also many tenant farmers from other nearby family estates came to participate in the free clinic after hearing the news.

Unfortunately, even in the so-called capital city, medical resources are severely lacking.

Apart from the slightly better situation in the west and east cities, medical resources in the north and south cities are extremely scarce, not to mention the farms outside the city.

The fact that Jia Huan is able to insist on providing free medical consultations twice a year, each time lasting from one and a half to two months, is great news for farmers and tenants within a radius of dozens or even hundreds of miles.

With a large number of patients to practice on, and given Jia Huan's solid foundation, his medical skills improved even more rapidly than his martial arts.

According to those two renowned doctors, his only difference from theirs in medical skills was his greater experience in practicing medicine. There was nothing more he could teach them.

Jia Huan was aware of the hardships faced by farmers and tenants outside the city, so he naturally didn't charge for diagnoses. Even the medicinal herbs needed for treatment were based on local conditions, and he would point out the most common and ordinary herbs for treatment.

Unless it's a rare or difficult disease, he can handle common ailments with ease and can use different prescriptions depending on the region.

The goal is singular: to alleviate the burden on patients' families as much as possible!

Even with such advanced medical technology and equipment in the past, ordinary people still couldn't afford to get sick.

Once a family encounters a serious illness, it can be driven into abject poverty, let alone in the current feudal imperial era, where the wealth of farmers and tenants outside the city is even more meager.

Fortunately, this era was free from industrial pollution, and wild medicinal herbs were readily available. It all depended on the skill of the healers to cure diseases and save lives using the simplest and most readily available herbs.

Jia Huan's medical skills have gradually reached this level, and he is beginning to show signs of returning to simplicity.

Such rapid progress is naturally related to his increasingly in-depth understanding of the body!

Of course, there's also the possibility that he might indeed have a talent for medicine, which could be somewhat related.

However, there are also shortcomings. When faced with difficult and complicated diseases, we can only follow the steps and cannot use the local special medicinal materials to combine and treat them.

Despite this, his treatment efficiency and effectiveness are quite good, and he has gradually gained the reputation of a so-called 'famous doctor' in the vicinity of Tianzhuang.

Jia Huan naturally had no intention of publicizing this, nor did he allow his subordinates to help spread the word. He didn't rely on this for a living, and was even somewhat worried that becoming too famous would attract unwanted attention.

I don't know if it was because of Jia Huan's outstanding performance that they were motivated!

Two renowned doctors, who had previously experienced hardship and were either disheartened or lacking interest in teaching medical skills to outsiders, were both inspired to take on apprentices.

They were eager to see if they could replicate Jia Huan's success!

With Jia Huan's strong support, they and their descendants were well-fed and clothed, lived a smooth life, and had a considerable amount of silver, enough to live a wealthy life for the rest of their lives.

If one gives up the desire to climb the ladder of officialdom, wouldn't one's life be essentially complete?

If they want to further improve their medical skills, they can wait until Jia Huan surpasses them and then learn more sophisticated medical techniques from him.

According to Jia Huan, this is called mutual learning, and there's nothing shameful about it.

Since the owner has said so, what else is there for them to be coy about?

Therefore, with Jia Huan's strong support and sponsorship, and even the special expansion of the small martial arts school several times over, it was specially used as a place for two well-known doctors to teach apprentices.

When the two renowned doctors saw that there were more than twenty apprentices, they were both amused and exasperated.

Unfortunately, they were already on the wrong path, and the promises they made earlier were now impossible to back down from.

Thus, the place, which was called a clinic but was actually a simple medical school, quickly began to operate.

Of the twenty apprentices, apart from one student from the clan school who was interested in medicine, the rest were either recruited from the children of tenant farmers or adopted from beggars in the city.

In short, these apprentices at the medical clinic, ranging in age from six to thirteen, were all very clever and quick-witted.
