Chapter 2437 A Call from Old Xu's House
Putting down her phone, Bian Mu let out a long sigh of relief.

Regardless of the circumstances, although it may have been accidental, Bian Mu has in fact taken a very solid step forward in the issue of generational division in traditional Chinese medicine.

It was clear that Nie Yawen was mostly on speakerphone. Bian Mu had already subtly revealed a few of his trump cards to the Nie family. Theoretically speaking, from now on, the "digital medicine" school would no longer be a very abstract concept in the industry. It would have a real core, a framework, and be practically operable. In addition, there would be real formulas that could be verified at any time based on medical and mathematical axioms. If necessary, he could be given a relatively modern medical laboratory and Bian Mu could conduct experimental verification immediately.

If all of these fields were handled this way, it would indeed be a bit of an exaggeration. Internal medicine, orthopedics, ophthalmology, dentistry, psychology... Bian Mu could actually master at least 80% of the medical disciplines.

It's not hard to imagine that upon receiving this special "meeting minutes" compiled by his granddaughter, Nie Yixiong would immediately realize that Bian Mu had indeed taken the first solid step in establishing his own sect.

A very solid step!
Compared to the Nie family, Bian Mu, this dark horse in the industry, has already introduced multidimensional concepts such as "quaternions" into the entire Lijin TCM circle.

If Nie Yixiong's lifelong expertise in traditional Chinese medicine is three-dimensional, then the "digital medicine" academic system pioneered by Na Mu will be four-dimensional, or even five-dimensional, six-dimensional... or even multi-dimensional.

Looking out at the vast, boundless night sky, Bian Mu even worried that Old Master Nie might one day be unable to sleep...

The next day, Bian Mu got up very early, heated up three white steamed buns, stir-fried a large plate of eggs with tomatoes, and made soy milk that he had bought the night before. He just needed to simmer it on the stove for a while to make a nice hot drink. While eating, Bian Mu scribbled and drew on a blank sheet of paper for a long time...

One tree cannot support a forest. No matter how powerful I become in medicine in the future, at best I can only reach the level of Situ Jianqing. All indications suggest that, in terms of medical talent alone, I probably won't even be able to touch the shadow of the senior Situ!
Bian Mu decided to pass on his so-called "secret skills" to his colleagues, including Dr. Ning and Dian Shuhua, as soon as possible. Of course, he also had to give a set to Liang Xiangyin. As for how the old man would react after receiving it, that was none of Bian Mu's business.

After finishing cleaning the kitchen, Bian Mu went to the study and selected some pre-prepared manuscripts from her laptop. She spent a long time editing them and stored them on a USB drive to take with her.

……

After finishing work at noon and saying goodbye to his colleagues, Bian Mu drove to the "Flower Field Ghost Market".

Grandpa Yang was just about to go home to eat some cold noodles when he saw Bian Mu rushing over. He specially invited him to a nearby bakery to eat some steamed cakes. Seven or eight kinds of seasonal side dishes were served, and the two ate and chatted while eating with eight-treasure porridge.

"Are you just handing over all your years of hard work to your colleagues in the industry without any reservations?" Grandpa Yang said with a smile as he took the USB drive.

"Hehe... When I was little, some of my classmates and neighbors always played together. It was strange; whenever we encountered something new or interesting, I was incredibly curious and would ask them for advice without any guile. But almost no one would tell the truth, no matter how worthless the item. They'd just stammer and be secretive. I was puzzled at the time. Later, in middle school, I found that my classmates were generally the same, and it was even more so in college. And what happened? It's not that I'm bragging, but to this day, none of them have amounted to anything; they've all faded into obscurity! Lately, I've been repeatedly reflecting on the legendary life of Situ Jianqing, and also comparing it to the life of Grandpa Nie..." Gradually, I realized that it's better to emulate Western mathematicians and engage in academic exchange without reservation through letters and papers. As a result, each generation of mathematicians has become more and more powerful, and my own academic achievements have received unprecedented and abundant supplements. For example, the history of matrix development is like this. One tree cannot support a forest. This kind of purely academic stuff was not something I developed by sitting at my desk alone. Since entering university, I don't know how many classic medical texts I have consulted, and I have also received guidance from many good teachers and friends. How much of what's stored on this USB drive is truly my own exclusive patent? If you really want to be precise, you could probably squeeze out very little! Bian Mu frankly admitted.

"Hahaha... That's bold! That's the kind of spirit a real man should have! I support you! However... the old ways of the common people are still deeply ingrained, so we have to be a little respectful. I still suggest printing it as internal communication material. Old Guan is one of our own, so I'll definitely make sure he keeps it strictly confidential. Every single page has to be meticulously recorded, and all the originals and discarded ones have to be destroyed!" "Alright! Internal communication material... that's definitely more appropriate! Thank you for your trouble!"

"It's nothing, don't be so polite! What kind of format should it be printed in?"

"Let's use the kind with a visible spine and sewn binding, made of good paper, the kind of old paper that won't warp even when damp, and the binding thread should be carbonized hemp thread!"

"Okay! Print 50 sets first?"

"to make!"

The two were chatting when Bian Mu's phone rang.

An unfamiliar number, from the Nanjin area.

With a thought flashing through his mind, Bian Mu gestured to Grandpa Yang and then turned on the speakerphone to answer the call.

"Hello, Master! I received the prescription. So, that young boy and that PE student have made up, right? My junior brother slapped that vicious dog on the back, you know, it won't affect its lifespan anyway. Is this arrangement acceptable?" A middle-aged man's voice came from the other end of the phone, calm, experienced, and speaking slowly.

"Oh dear! I'm sorry to trouble you. May I ask your name?" Bian Mu glanced at Grandpa Yang first, then quickly offered a polite greeting.

"My surname is Liu. I am an unofficial disciple of the Xu family's medical school. I started my own practice more than ten years ago and run a small clinic in Nanjin. My master deciphered two prescriptions for the clinic owner and then entrusted the matter to me. Well, at least there's a result now! I'm here to report to the clinic owner. If there's anything wrong, please point it out."

"You flatter me. Your call is a great honor for me. I had no choice but to trouble you in this way. I hope you will forgive any oversights. To be honest, it is inappropriate for me to handle such a small matter in this way, given my current status. It is at least a bit presumptuous. I only did this because I considered that the young man was from Nanjin and had traveled a long way to come here... It would be an insult to the reputation of the Xu family. That's why I had to resort to this tactic. I didn't inform you beforehand. It was my fault. I hope to have the opportunity to visit you in the future to apologize!" Bian Mu's words were already quite mature, but he was still young, and some of his words were a bit rough around the edges.

"Hehe... You're too kind, Master! The 'Digital Medicine' school is indeed refreshing. I come from a regular medical school, a top-tier one, and originally studied Western clinical medicine, general surgery! Later, by chance, I came to the Xu family and was fortunate enough to be taken in by my master. The path of traditional Chinese medicine is the one of apprenticeship, which is incomparable to yours. I hope to have the opportunity to hear Master's new theories in person in the future!"

"Oh, I'm flattered, I really am! There are so many things I need your guidance on."

"You're too kind! That matter has been explained, so I won't bother you any longer. There will be plenty of time in the future! Until we meet again!" With that, Dr. Liu hung up the phone.
