Chapter 10, Outer Gate Study Room
However, this is a good thing, as it is naturally well concealed. Throughout a year and a half of schooling, no one has noticed.
The external disciples of Wu Dong in this batch have completed their foundational studies in elementary education, and at this point, they no longer need to attend classes at the school
It was just around noon when the teacher at the elementary school near the outer gate spotted Wu Dong, who was taller than his peers, and directly called out to him.
All of them are highly practical books
Oh, is that so? Then you may go!
These thoughts merely flashed through his mind before being cast aside; he devoted all his thoughts and energy to the foundations of medicine and herbalism
It is quite strange that Wu Dong, a clearly unrefined outer disciple from a humble background, is not interested in cultivating martial arts but instead seeks to borrow miscellaneous books on basic forging and herbal medicine, showing little inclination to delve deeper into these subjects
Even if one has not been able to begin training in internal skills, it is sufficient to at least keep up in terms of physical fitness without falling behind
Setting aside the fundamentals of forging, he picked up the basics of herbal medicine, quickly flipping through the pages and memorizing the content. Before long, he had committed the entire book to memory
The books in the study room are almost entirely practical reference books from wwwhetushucomcom
With a gentle smile, Wu Dong explained, "I have some interest in these things!"
In less than half an hour, he had read all the books in the study and memorized them.
The old man was dressed in somewhat shabby clothing, appearing listless and dispirited, dozing off beside a wooden bed whose color was indistinguishable.
He was too lazy to say much and directly picked up the book on the basics of forging to flip through it
He did not stay long in the study, nor did he spend money to buy paper and pens for copying; he turned around and left the study directly
Master, I just want to take a look at the basics of forging and the basics of medicinal herbs
Although there is a pharmacy in the counterfeit market, it is not something that Wu Dong can join at this time
Wu Dong's performance was merely average, and the reason the Master could still recognize him was primarily because it had not been long since the previous batch of external disciples left the academy. This fellow's tall and robust physique was also quite conspicuous
"Wu Dong, what are you doing at the school?"
At this moment, he did not wish to attract attention, so he could only slowly ponder over the content of those two basic medical textbooks and study them.
With just a slight shift in his thinking, he basically understood the intention behind the imitation.
Due to the limited number of books, which does not meet the requirements for a library or a book pavilion, it is therefore referred to as a study room
Standing with his feet together and his body straight, Wu Dongchong performed a gesture of respect to his teacher before calmly responding
The so-called study room refers to a library that is similar to an annex of a school.
He walked directly to the solitary bookshelf, looking at the fewer than ten books on the shelf, their covers covered with a light layer of dust, feeling a strong impulse to shake his head
Tsk ... ...
It is similar to foundational knowledge in forging, herbalism, and carpentry, akin to reference books from a previous life
Certainly, it can also be said that it is about cultivating specialized talent within the counterfeit industry
Wu Dongning stood still, only after the master had left did he walk towards the study
From beginning to end, the old man with a broken leg who guarded the library showed no intention of looking up at him, nor did he care what Wu Dong had done.
According to the Master, among the external disciples attending classes at the academy, very few have a genuine love for learning, and once they leave the academy, they will not return to hetushu.com
It is a pity that although in my previous life I understood some basic health knowledge, most of it was inclined towards Western medicine and surgery, while my understanding of traditional Chinese medicine and herbal remedies was truly lacking
Oh, what book do you want to borrow
Upon seeing this, Wu Dong retracted the greeting that was about to slip from his lips, said nothing further, and walked past the old man with the broken leg, directly entering the somewhat dim study.
It is a pity that the school where the outer hall is located is merely for enlightenment purposes, and all that is studied consists solely of elementary educational texts, with no information whatsoever regarding the introduction to this world.
He possesses an extraordinary memory, yet he is unable to realize its most significant effect
The faction can provide a large quantity of such medicinal dishes to outer disciples, clearly indicating that the ingredients are certainly not any precious or rare medicinal materials
It should provide a means of livelihood for the members of the gang who are unable to enter the inner circle or lack talent in martial arts
The content is merely about thirty pages, all written in cursive script, with a limited number of words and not particularly profound; he was able to memorize everything with just a glance.
At this moment, it was still early. Being ostracized by the martial artist Chen Daoba and the other boys in the group, he did not approach them to seek trouble for himself. Instead, he found a shaded spot under a tree to sit down and carefully ponder the content he had just memorized in his mind.
Indeed, there is also a book on the fundamentals of medicine in the study, which at this moment facilitates his better familiarity and understanding of the medicinal properties introduced in the basics of herbal medicine
Moreover, the medical practices of this world are not necessarily the same as those of traditional Chinese medicine from his previous life, and whether there are deviations is still a matter of debate. He wishes to learn and understand, but it is quite difficult to even contemplate.
The study room here is quite desolate, located in a small room in a corner of the academy, guarded by an old man who has lost one of his legs
As long as Wu Dong can understand the ingredients, he will be able to easily find such medicinal materials, and the effects of exercising in the future will be truly remarkable
The Master, intrigued, inquired: "Could it be that you still have leisure time to ponder over miscellaneous studies?"
The ultimate goal is quite simple, which is to clarify the medicinal cuisine recipes provided by the counterfeit at noon
At present, it seems impossible to cultivate the foundational internal skills, and it is likely to be very difficult to enter the inner sect in the future. This is precisely why he has set his sights on the outer hall's study.
It is heard that the counterfeit industry is vast and diverse, requiring a significant number of specialized talents. Similar to martial artists, cultivating one's own talents is more reassuring and practical.
The so-called forging fundamentals refer to the basic skills of blacksmithing. The introduction in the books is quite brief, and relying solely on the knowledge from these books for self-exploration is likely to require considerable time and effort
I have heard that there are higher-level schools in the inner hall, as well as more books, but unfortunately, he does not have the qualifications to go there
Master, I have come to the academy to borrow some books from the library to read
Hearing the footsteps made by Wu Dong, he did not raise his head but waved his hand, signaling Wu Dong to enter the study directly without disturbing him
Having adapted to the dim light of the study, there was a somewhat murky and moldy odor inside
It is evident that the maintenance of this study room has not been handled properly
Even if his memory is remarkable, it would still be quite difficult to begin with the book on basic medicinal herbs, unless guided by a physician
If one studies carefully and possesses good practical skills, it is not difficult to spend some time and effort to learn a basic livelihood skill
The master lost interest, waved his hand, turned around, and left, without any intention of probing further.
It is said that when he was attending school and learning to read, he discovered that his memory was exceptionally strong, almost reaching the level of photographic memory. He wondered if this was a benefit of having traversed or been reborn.
