A four-year-old medical prodigy descended to the mortal realm, and the entire capital sought her tre

Zhou Ruo recited the contents of the first page in a very fast-paced manner.

Zhao Jinzhong was somewhat surprised. "Huh? Ruoruo has such a good memory? Okay, brother will teach you the second page."

Soon, Zhou Ruo finished reading the second page with him.

Zhou Ruo: "Brother, please teach me more."

......

In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Zhao Jinzhong had helped Zhou Ru read half of the book.

"Alright, Ruoruo, you can't digest too much at once. Let's learn more tomorrow."

Zhao Jinzhong felt that reading a book in a day and a half was already the limit for humans, and Zhou Ruo was only four years old, so she definitely couldn't digest that much knowledge all at once.

"Brother is so stingy... He doesn't even let us eat our fill..." Zhou Ruo was very dissatisfied with this.

"What...what do you mean? Do you already know half of what I just taught you?" Zhao Jinzhong asked, his face full of disbelief.

"What's so difficult about that?" Zhou Ruo replied immediately, reciting half the contents of the book in one go.

Granny Wang wasn't very literate, but she was surprised to hear Zhou Ruo recite so many things at once.

Seeing Zhao Jinzhong's extremely shocked expression, she realized that Zhou Ruo's learning talent was beyond that of ordinary people.

"This? This is impossible! Ruoruo, how are you so amazing?" Zhao Jinzhong was shocked by Zhou Ruo's incredible memory.

"What's so strange about that? When I used to learn things, I could remember them after seeing them only once."

Zhou Ruo pleaded in a soft, sweet voice, "Brother, please teach me the rest too."

With an incredulous look on his face, Zhao Jinzhong taught Zhou Ruo to read the remaining half of the book again.

If Zhou Ruo was satisfied, she could absorb a thousand words of mortal life in less than half an hour.

"Brother, you just said how long it took you to memorize this book?" Zhou Ruo couldn't remember.

Zhao Jinzhong looked somewhat embarrassed: "Three...three days..."

"Oh..." Zhou Ruo remembered that Si Qiao had said that her brother used to be very good at studying. It turns out that Si Qiao would lie to her.

Since Zhou Ruo learned the Thousand Character Classic and gained a vocabulary of one thousand characters, she has become increasingly interested in books in the human world.

For two days in a row, she kept pestering Zhao Jinzhong to teach her to read other books.

There weren't many soldiers reading books in the military camp. Even in Zhao Yucheng's tent, there were only a few military books.

Upon learning that Zhao Jinzhong had been collecting books in the army recently, Doctor Yu took out several of his own collection of traditional classics.

These were all books that Zhao Jinzhong was very familiar with, and he felt that he needed to regain some self-respect in front of Zhou Ruo through these books.

But things never went as he wished. On the first day, Zhao Jinzhong took out the "Shenyu" (a book on Chinese language and literature), and Zhou Ru memorized it in less than half a day.

The next day, he took out the "Taixue" and "Shangyong" again, and Zhou Ruo memorized them in half a day.

On the third day, Zhou Ruo said directly to Zhao Jinzhong, "Brother, give me all the books. I can read them myself."

On the fourth day, Zhou Ru read "Mengzi" by himself.

When she opened the next book, she began to lose her appetite.

Zhou Ruo went to find Doctor Yu herself, "Doctor Yu, could you please give me some medical books to look at?"

Doctor Yu was engrossed in the "Treatise on Meridians" and when he heard Zhou Ruo asking him for a medical book, he was still absorbed in the book.

He asked, relying solely on his memory, "Miss, aren't you illiterate?"

Seeing that Doctor Yu was engrossed in his book and didn't seem to want to talk to anyone, Zhou Ruo decided not to argue with him.

She looked around and noticed a pile of books in one corner of Doctor Yu's tent.

So he walked over, sat down in front of the pile of books, picked up a book at random, and started flipping through it.

She only reads books related to medicine, and glances at unrelated ones before tossing them aside.

When she saw something she liked, she nodded and made her own comments in her mind.

Most of the time, she was not very satisfied with the medical methods described in the book.

Zhou Ruo acknowledged many of the medical methods of the mortal ancestors, since mortals lacked medical skills and spiritual power and could only rely on meridians and pharmacology for treatment.

However, this treatment cannot counteract witchcraft or curses, nor can it cure rare and unusual diseases.

Moreover, when ordinary people experience slightly more severe symptoms, conventional treatments take a long time, causing them considerable suffering.

After flipping through a few medical books, Zhou Ruo lost the desire to read any more.

Just as she was about to leave, she was drawn to a very exquisite box on the shelf.

Seeing that Doctor Yu wasn't paying attention to her, she walked over and opened the box herself.

The box contained a tattered old book, which emitted a musty, somewhat pungent smell.

She sensed that this was a very unusual medical book and carefully took it out of the box.

She was immediately drawn to a line of text on the first page of the book.

"A doctor's skill in medicine requires the accumulation of merit; this applies to both immortals and mortals."

After flipping through a few more pages, I came across another line: "Mortal healers rely on acupuncture and medicine, immortals rely on spiritual power."

Keep flipping through... Five Elements Needles, Talismans... they're all mentioned in the book.

As she watched, tears streamed down Zhou Ruo's face. She seemed to hear her master from her previous life speaking to her.

She wiped away her tears and turned the page, finding pictures of snakes, scorpions, centipedes, and toads on one of the pages.

In the following passage, the words "the power of the elixir" come to mind.

Zhou Ruo's heart tightened, and she carefully read the next few sentences.

"Those with abundant spiritual power can refine the various energies they have accumulated into pills, and then use the spiritual power to treat patients."

Suddenly, Zhou Ruo seemed to have a breakthrough and instantly understood how to use her "elixir power".

Hehehe, Zhou Ruo cried and laughed intermittently, disturbing Doctor Yu.

Doctor Yu then came to his senses and discovered that Zhou Ruo had opened the ancient medical book that he treasured and carried with him, a book that he could not understand.

"Oh my lady!" Doctor Yu hurriedly got up, went over, and took the medical book from Zhou Ruo's hand.

The usually arrogant Doctor Yu suddenly remembered that Zhou Ruo's medical skills were extraordinary, and perhaps she could understand the contents of this ancient book.

He paused abruptly as he put the book back in the box, then turned to Zhou Ruo and asked, "Miss, can you understand this?"

Zhou Ruo found Doctor Yu's question strange; how could she not understand it?

"If you can read, you can understand it!" She looked up at Doctor Yu with an innocent face, puzzled.

Doctor Yu was speechless at Zhou Ruo's words, and he overturned his earlier guess that Zhou Ruo could understand ancient books.

How many characters does Zhou Ruocai know? It's impossible for him to understand such a mysterious ancient book that even he himself can't figure out.

Doctor Yu was unwilling to argue with a child any longer, but Zhou Ruo was still quite interested in the ancient book.

"Ruo Ruo! Ruo Ruo..." Zhao Jinzhong searched for her outside the tent.

Zhou Ruo glanced again at the ancient book, which had already been put into the box by Doctor Yu, before reluctantly walking out.

Zhao Jinzhong saw Zhou Ruo come out of Doctor Yu's tent, his face still showing a panicked expression.

"Why did you end up here at Doctor Yu's? I've been looking everywhere for you!"

"Brother, I just wanted to look at some medical books." Zhou Ruo was still thinking about that ancient book.

Hearing Zhou Ruo's explanation, Zhao Jinzhong felt relieved and sighed helplessly.

How could his sister be so obsessed with books? She's even more obsessed than he was when he was a child.

"Don't just focus on studying, or you'll become a bookworm!" Zhao Jinzhong took Zhou Ruo's hand. "Come on! Let's go play!"

Hearing about going out to play, Zhou Ruo became interested. "Where to play?"

"Let's go pick some fruit in the grove outside!"
