Translator: thornling | Editor: thornling

After Wu Xuancao came to this world, she flipped through many medical canons. The subject which occupied the most text was none other than stories about Lin Chaoxian. As early as several hundred years ago, he was able to open skulls and abdominal cavities to treat people's diseases. He could also use golden needles to restore the sight of cataract patients.

However, due to chaotic warfare between kingdoms and gaps in the cultural record, his medical arts were gradually lost. Wu Xuancao had always been skeptical about these stories, but now, seeing Xue Boyong standing in front of her with her own eyes, she felt reverence toward the ancestors' medical skill for the first time.

Did traditional Chinese medicine actually work? This issue had been debated endlessly by later generations. With the development of western medicine, the philosophy that traditional Chinese medicine was useless had gradually become mainstream belief. However, the ancient Chinese people relied on traditional Chinese medicine to treat diseases for thousands of years and left behind many ancient treatments. How could those be explained?

Wu Xuancao was a surgeon, and only after she transmigrated here did she understand whether Chinese medicine worked or not. One of her colleagues once said that if a western medicine doctor transmigrated back to ancient times, they would probably have no choice but to become a butcher. And after she arrived, she had a deeper recognition of this viewpoint. Without high-end medical equipment, various antibiotics, special medication, and sterile operating rooms, her scalpel was completely useless.

When a patient came for treatment, she didn't even know what kind of disease they had without a B-scan or an x-ray. If she hadn't made a name for herself by sewing up wounds and won over Zheng Zhe, then relied on his medical skills to deal with patients, this clinic would have folded long ago.

Doing things with the title of "miracle doctor" on her head every day had long made her full of unease. She was extremely eager to learn Chinese medicine to make herself worthy of the name. After obtaining Xing Lin Spring, her desire peaked in an instant. She had a vague intuition that as long as she could obtain Lin Chaoxian's inheritance and combine it with western medicine, she would definitely be able to create a new age of medicine in this backward era.

She had a lot of faith in herself, and at the same time looked down on Lin Dan even more because she didn't know how to use the treasures in her hand. Because only she knew, without Xing Lin Spring, the inheritance Lin Dan had was the same as rubbish. Since that was the case, why not hand the entire inheritance over to someone who knew how to use it?

But now, Xue Boyong's legs, which were in perfect condition, were like a huge palm viciously slapping her, making her blush up to her ears and shocked beyond words.

"Your, your legs have completely recovered?" Her voice was extremely hoarse.

But Xue Boyong ignored her, pulled Lin Dan's wrist, and walked straight into the storefront. When he got inside, he took out a medical book he had tucked into his robe and handed it to Lin Dan: "This is a medical book I found at Wu Xuancao's place. It should belong to your family. All of the books that Xue Jiming lent out yesterday, I have helped you get back. They are now locked securely in Xiaofeng Pavilion. When will you start living in the clinic? When the time comes, I will have someone deliver you those books."

Lin Dan caressed the book cover, her eyes bright: "This indeed belongs to my family. Thank you, Brother!" Being able to find the missing part of the inheritance was truly a pleasant surprise.

"No need to thank me." Xue Boyong rubbed the little girl's head. After one day and one night of panic, he was finally able to slowly calm down.

Three days later, both the eldest princess and the little prince had mostly recovered from their illnesses. After taking medicine for a few more days to consolidate the recovery, they should be able to recover completely. Lin Dan checked the two's pulses, cut a few things from the prescription, and then told the maid to grab the herbs. When she was done, she prepared to leave and buy some furniture and have it delivered to the clinic.
