"Uh-huh!"

"Master Sun, you are wise to see that my condition is indeed becoming increasingly serious..."

Upon hearing this, Sun Simiao sighed inwardly.

"This disease is extremely difficult to treat..."

Although Si Zi was mentally prepared, she still felt a bit dazed when she heard Master Sun say this, and almost fainted on the spot.

"Thank you so much, Master Sun, for treating me..."

However, just as Si Zi was about to leave in disappointment, Li Jue came over strutting around with a stethoscope and a blood pressure monitor.

"Senior brother, don't jump to conclusions yet. Try my method first!"

What is this?

"This is a stethoscope, and this box is a blood pressure monitor. They are both tools used for medical consultations!"

"oh?"

"Please explain how to use this item in detail, junior brother!"

"good!"

Li Jue immediately presented his "Auscultation Techniques," which he had written down from memory. Upon seeing this, Sun Simiao hurriedly wiped his hands on his clothes before respectfully accepting it with both hands.

"Is this book a secret technique of our Qingnang Sect?"

"What sect or whatever, I'm the only one in the entire Tang Dynasty who knows the Qingnang Secret Technique..."

"So you're the current sect leader?"

"May I ask, Junior Brother Sect Leader, is this book permissible to be circulated among outsiders?"

"sure!"

"Once I'm done with this busy period, I'll personally find someone to engrave tens of thousands of copies of this book and distribute them free of charge to the physicians of the Tang Dynasty!"

Upon hearing this, Sun Simiao immediately placed the book on the table and then respectfully bowed deeply to Li Jue.

"Junior Brother Gao Yi!"

"On behalf of all healers in the world, I, your senior brother, thank you for your great kindness!"

"At the same time, on behalf of all the sick in the world, I thank my junior brother for his benevolent act that benefits future generations!"

Li Jue dared not accept such a grand gesture from Sun Simiao, and jumped aside the moment he saw him bow.

"Senior brother, this item isn't as valuable as you think. This thing is..."

Li Jue suddenly couldn't continue speaking at this point, after all, he couldn't possibly tell Sun Simiao how many copies of this book there were in later generations, so many that no one wanted to read them.

Although Li Jue did not consider "Auscultation Techniques" to be particularly valuable, Sun Simiao's inclusive and respectful attitude towards new knowledge still greatly impressed him.

No wonder Master Sun was able to write "Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Pieces of Gold" and "The Great Physician's Sincerity." He was a model for the world in terms of both medical skills and character.

"Look at my senior brother's attitude towards the Qingnang Secret Technique, and then think about what you've been doing these past few days!"

Li Jue was speaking to the imperial physicians at the door. Ever since they saw Sun Simiao, these physicians had been like fangirls in later generations seeing their idols, following him all the way from the medical room of Zhechong Mansion to Jinghu Villa. They were the kind of persistent pests that couldn't be chased away.

Upon hearing Li Jue's words, the group lowered their heads in shame.

"Our grandmaster is right! We will certainly strive to improve ourselves and study hard from now on!"

The moment everyone addressed him as "Grandmaster Uncle," Li Jue immediately felt embarrassed.

"Cough cough!"

"You don't need to blame yourselves too much. Actually, you've done quite well these past few days. After all, being able to endure the stench of dissecting corpses is something that not everyone can do!"

"But we still need to correct our attitude, do things seriously, and study diligently in the future!"

"promise!"

"I, your grand-disciple, will humbly follow your grand-uncle's teachings!"

Seeing their submissive manner, Li Jue felt refreshed and invigorated.

This feeling of being a patriarch is so awesome!

Hahaha!

With Sun Simiao joining the team, the autopsy work in the morgue progressed very smoothly.

These usually arrogant imperial physicians not only dared not lose their temper in front of him, but were also extremely obedient to his words.

Of course, all of this is inseparable from Sun Simiao's exemplary conduct.

On his first day in the morgue, upon learning that what they were doing was a great cause that would benefit all mankind, Sun Simiao immediately ordered people to buy incense and candles and led everyone to respectfully kowtow to the corpses in the morgue.

Sun Simiao's actions not only shocked the imperial physicians, but also deeply impressed Li Jue, the leader of the Qingnang School.

He suddenly remembered that there seemed to be some talk about cadavers in later generations.

Moreover, each time a corpse is dissected, the person performing the dissection will first express their gratitude to the cadaver.

I had simply forgotten about it at first, but I never expected that Sun Simiao would fill in the gaps.

At this moment, Li Jue felt a deep and sincere respect for Sun Simiao!

He truly deserves to be called the King of Medicine!

This mindset, this awareness, is way ahead of my own!

"Senior brother, I think we should make it a rule to pay homage to the deceased teacher. Not only should we do it, but our future disciples and grand-disciples should also do it!"

Sun Simiao nodded in affirmation upon hearing this.

"That's excellent!"

"They sacrificed themselves for the people of the Tang Dynasty and deserve our homage!"

"Senior brother, you are truly righteous!"

In the days that followed, Sun Simiao learned how to dissect anatomy from Li Jue and others, as well as how to use a stethoscope and a sphygmomanometer.

In fact, for a legendary doctor like Sun Simiao, a stethoscope and a blood pressure monitor might not have been as useful as his two fingers.

The old man was filled with curiosity and awe for new knowledge. Every day he would hold a stethoscope and listen for two hours, sometimes to his own heartbeat, sometimes to Li Jue's, and finally to the people of Sanglin Village...

After listening for a while, Sun Simiao finally figured out the correct way to use the stethoscope, and even surpassed his teacher, leaving Li Jue far behind.

After all, Li Jue only knew how to use it according to the instructions, but Sun Simiao was able to make a comprehensive judgment based on the sounds heard by the stethoscope by combining his decades of clinical experience.

"Master Sun, can you treat my aunt again now?"

"That should do it!"

"I have fully mastered the wonders of this object, and have even made some revisions to the auscultation techniques you wrote..."

"Very good!"

"Master Sun, when you treat my aunt this time, don't worry about anything else. The main thing is to listen to her heart sounds to see if she has pericardial effusion!"

"If my aunt only has pericardial effusion, then there's still hope. But if it's some other illness..."

Li Jue sighed helplessly as he finished speaking.

"I'll hurry up and prepare for my aunt's funeral!"

Sun Simiao nodded solemnly upon hearing this.

"good!"
