I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 41

Chapter 41: Theory of Cultivation Realm

“Aqing, do you know what you should have in order to become a good doctor?”

Hearing the question from his master, Lu Qing hesitated for a moment, then replied, “Excellent medical skills?”

“This is just one of them.” Doctor Chen said, “In addition, an excellent doctor should also have a calm mind and a healthy body.”

“A calm mind and a healthy body?” Lu Qing murmured.

“That’s right,” the old doctor nodded. “As a doctor, it’s very important to maintain a calm mindset in the face

of adversity.” “Because as a doctor, you’ll undoubtedly encounter all kinds of patients in the future.”

“Some of these patients are in unbearable pain, wailing, some are on the verge of death, some have terrifying symptoms, and some are even irritable, prone to yelling and fighting at the slightest provocation.”

“When you encounter such patients, if you don’t maintain a calm and composed mindset, it will be difficult to accurately diagnose their condition and treat them.”

“So you must remember, when you have mastered your medical skills, no matter what kind of patient you encounter, you must maintain a calm mindset. This will help you better treat them.”

“Disciple, remember this,” Lu Qing said respectfully.

“As for physical health…”

The old doctor paused before continuing.

“As I just said, as a doctor, you’re bound to encounter some difficult patients.”

“Some patients are not only short-tempered themselves, but their families are also difficult to reason with. Sometimes, at the slightest dissatisfaction, they will fly into a rage, even taking their anger out on the doctor.”

“At times like these, as a doctor, you shouldn’t focus on curing illnesses and saving lives, but should prioritize preserving yourself.”

“In that case, maintaining a healthy body is essential. Otherwise, I’m afraid you won’t be able to cope with those unreasonable patients and their families.”

As the old doctor said this, an indescribable expression crossed his face, as if recalling some unpleasant memories.

It seems that Master has encountered quite a few medical troublemakers before, Lu Qing thought.

The old doctor shook his head, shaking off some of the bad memories, and continued.

“Besides dealing with difficult patients, doctors often go into the mountains to collect herbs, travel far and wide, and so on. All of these require a healthy body to be able to do so.”

“So, to become an excellent doctor, medical skills are certainly important.”

“But equally, a calm mind and a strong body are equally important.”

“Then, Master, how can I cultivate a strong body?” Lu Qing asked humbly.

“That’s right on target,” said Doctor Chen with a smile.

“Do you remember the boxing technique I used when you first came to see me?”

“Yes,”

Lu Qing thought to himself. “Not only do I remember, I almost copied it.”

This was the first time Master had mentioned cultivation, and his heart couldn’t help but stir.

“This set of boxing techniques was acquired by chance in my youth. It’s thanks to it that I, Master, am still in good health at this age.”

“Since you’ve become my disciple, it’s time I taught you this set of boxing techniques.”

“Master, you want to teach me martial arts?” Lu Qing was surprised. “So Master knows martial arts?”

“Just a little. You’re a little weak. Whether you want to go into the mountains to collect herbs or travel far and wide, you need to exercise more. As doctors, we must not only know how to treat illnesses and save lives, but also how to regulate ourselves and strengthen our bodies.”

“If you yourself are ill, how can you be in good condition to diagnose and treat patients?”

Doctor Chen knew that someone as intelligent as Lu Qing would never give up on his quest for the truth about his parents’ death.

He had no reason to stop his disciple.

After all, as a son, it was natural to want to know the truth about his biological parents’ death.

Given that, all he could do was to help his disciple equip himself with some self-protection skills.

Back in the courtyard, master and disciple stood in the middle of the yard, while Xiaoyan happily ate a snack at a nearby stone table, watching them.

“Ah Qing, before I officially teach you boxing, I need to first tell you some basic knowledge about martial arts practice,” said Doctor Chen solemnly.

“Yes, Master.”

Lu Qing suppressed his excitement.

Finally, he could learn some information about cultivation!

“So-called martial arts practice, according to those who practice martial arts, is divided into several levels,” Doctor Chen began to explain.

“The great realms are divided into innate and acquired.”

“The small realms, the acquired realm alone, are further divided into three realms: the Qi and Blood Realm, the Bones and Tendons Realm, and the Internal Organs Realm.”

“In the Qi and Blood Realm, for those who have just started practicing martial arts, the main focus is to invigorate the Qi and blood and regulate the Qi.”

“With invigorated Qi and blood, and a smooth Qi flow, the body will naturally become strong, strength increased, and spirits invigorated.”

“Thus, warriors who have achieved great success in the Qi and Blood Realm are all powerful and robust, with astonishing strength. Even if hugged by three or five large men, they could easily throw them away.”

“In the Bones and Tendons Realm, warriors at this realm have begun to intentionally temper their bones and tendons.”

“Using various secret techniques and mental methods, they temper their bones and tendons, thereby achieving the effect of strengthening the tendons and bones, and completely transforming themselves.”

“Martial artists who have achieved great success in the Bones and Tendons Realm are incomparably more powerful than those in the Qi and Blood Realm. They are able to pull back a galloping horse and throw an ox with their bare hands, which is quite terrifying.”

“As for the viscera realm…”

The old doctor paused before continuing, “The qi, blood, tendons and bones of warriors in this realm have become so strong that it is difficult to break through. Therefore, they begin to seek further physical transformation from the outside in.”

“And this transformation lies in the viscera.”

“The five internal organs of a person have always been fragile. The slightest damage may endanger their lives.”

“But warriors in the viscera realm can cultivate their five internal organs to be extremely powerful. The inside and the outside are integrated, the breath is long, and the endurance is extremely strong.”

“A warrior who has achieved great success in the viscera realm has a strong internal breath. He can run thousands of miles and still have physical strength. He can also stay in the water for several hours without stopping.”

“To practice martial arts to this level is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people and has reached the acquired limit of human beings.”

“Those who can reach this level are really one in ten thousand. They can be called the best among men. Therefore, warriors who have achieved great success in internal organs are also given the title of masters by people in the martial arts world.”

This narration made Lu Qing feel both satisfied and shocked.

The cultivators in this world were even more powerful than he had imagined.

They could pull a galloping horse, throw an ox barehanded, and gallop a thousand miles…

These feats were truly inhuman.

No wonder he’d felt such a strong sense of oppression from that Master Ma before.

He possessed such formidable power.

“Master, if the acquired realm is this powerful, what about the innate realm?” Lu Qing asked impatiently.

“Master, I don’t even know the power of the Xiantian realm.” The old doctor shook his head. “Those at that level are as elusive as dragons. Some enjoy roaming the world, while others are supreme figures guarding a country. Ordinary warriors find it difficult to approach them.”

Lu Qing’s eyes turned and he asked, “What about Master? What realm is he in now?”

“Hahaha.” The old doctor laughed heartily. “Master is old and frail. No matter what realm he is in, it doesn’t matter. Besides, I’m just a doctor. I only care about healing and saving lives. I don’t care about all those things like fighting. High or low realms are irrelevant.”

Well, Lu Qing knew that the old man didn’t want to reveal his cultivation level.

“However, although I can’t fight, I can still teach you some methods to strengthen your body.”

“Next, I’m going to teach you this set of boxing. You must learn it well.”
