Chapter 90
0090 : Dark Heaven Village
The time I spent receiving the basic knowledge of Meridian and the essentials for studying medicine from Hwa Seo-myeong was about a month. During that time, Hwa Seo-myeong brought thick medical classics and diagrams for me to memorize. Familiar with such tasks, I utilized the Thunder Spirit Classic, which I learned from Mangnyang, to aid my memorization. After a month had passed, Hwa Seo-myeong expressed his astonishment.
“You have remarkable memorization skills. Most people can’t memorize this quickly!”
“Haha…”
“Your study method is excellent, suggesting you are not merely at the level of an average martial artist. Have you studied elsewhere?”
Recalling my time studying with Mangnyang, a bitter smile surfaced on my face. The intense study I had undertaken over the years was proving beneficial in this regard.
“A little…”
“Regardless, it is fortunate you already knew the basics of the Eight Extraordinary Vessels and Meridians as a martial artist. Now, let us slowly get to the main point.”
According to him, the understanding martial artists had regarding blood points and the flow of energy was quite limited and simplistic. While martial artists could memorize dozens or hundreds of Meridians, it was only to the extent necessary for their own martial arts techniques. Unless one belonged to an Orthodox Sect like the Wudang Sect, the knowledge of Meridians between martial artists and physicians would inevitably differ significantly. The knowledge I had memorized over the past month encompassed the vast operations and roles of the Meridians, including the “basics” I had known, requiring me to memorize at least ten times more.
