Lin Hengping and his wife, Golden Fingers

  "The sky is dark and the universe is vast...". In a simple thatched cottage, a childish recitation voice came out. Through the window, you can see a little boy holding a book and reading aloud, facing him was a short man who was also reading seriously.

  It goes without saying that these two people are the Great Han and the Child mentioned earlier. It has been more than a week since the Child was rescued by the Great Han. In just over a week, the Child had recovered, and his recovery speed was faster than expected, which made the Great Han and the woman very curious. However, they could not have imagined that this Child was not actually a real child.

  Lin Heng, a 21st-century otaku, had no house, no car, and no woman. One day, while playing computer at home, the computer suddenly exploded, and he died. After waking up, he became a newborn baby, who is now Lin Heng.

  Lin Heng, who had just arrived, only had a mother and did not know who his father was. The villagers said that his father died in an accident, leaving behind his pregnant mother. Fortunately, the villagers took good care of her, and she gave birth to Li Fan smoothly. After that, it was just the two of them living together, very ordinary and plain. Until he was four years old, just over a week ago, everything changed due to the bandits' attack. His new mother died, and he became an orphan. Fortunately, he was lucky enough to be adopted by a passing man.

  It's painful for Lin Heng to talk about, especially the death of his mother. As a shut-in, he wouldn't have been able to let go of his feelings towards his new mother, and the four years they spent together made him develop an unprecedented sense of dependence on her. To be honest, this is unimaginable in modern times, because nowadays children rarely develop such deep emotions towards their mothers, as they don't understand things at a young age, and parents also don't accompany them every day like in ancient times.

  So, the death of his mother was a great blow to Lin Heng. Even after crying loudly, he fell ill. If it weren't for the fact that the man who adopted him was a skilled doctor, it would have been questionable whether he could survive or not.

  Talking about the couple who adopted him, Lin Heng couldn't help but feel shocked and speechless. Because their names were Ping Yizhi and Wang Lan. Wang Lan was that woman, also known as Ping Yizhi's wife. She might not be familiar to everyone, but Ping Yizhi is well-known, right? The divine doctor from "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer", with exceptional medical skills that made him untouchable in the Jianghu world, and his principle of "healing one person, killing one person" also made people in Jianghu both love and hate him.

  To be honest, when Lin Heng found out that the dwarf was called Ping Yizhi, his first reaction wasn't shock, but rather he thought of that strange flying move he used to kill the bandits, and then he felt a surge of joy, because he had never imagined that he would actually cross over into the world of Jin Da's wuxia novels.

  As a modern otaku, who doesn't have a dream of crossing over? And this dream, is either martial arts or immortal heroes, and sometimes both. Lin Heng was just like that, he had fantasized multiple times about crossing over into the world of martial arts and immortal heroes, then possessing an invincible golden finger, defeating all the unbeatable experts in the world, and charming all the beauties in the world.

  Now, although he didn't see his golden finger, he knew that he had crossed into the world of Jin Da's martial arts and became a disciple of Ping Yi Zhi.

  All of this shocked his mind and alleviated his grief over his mother's death. This was also one of the reasons he could recover so quickly.

  He recovered, Lin Heng naturally wanted to learn martial arts, but Ping Yizhi didn't plan to teach him, and he couldn't say "Ping Yizhi, teach me martial arts". So, he could only behave a bit better, which is also the reason why he is working hard to study now. You should know that without this knowledge, even if you have the most brilliant martial arts skills, you still can't learn them.

  Reading books, watching Ping Yizhi play with medicinal materials, and then being pinched on the face by Wang Lan and taking a bath, this is Xiao Lin Heng's life. This kind of life is a bit dull, especially in an era without play, it makes Lin Heng feel like time is passing slowly. Fortunately, he learns quickly and performs relatively maturely, so after three months, Ping Yizhi starts teaching him new things.

  Of course, this new thing is not martial arts, after all, he's still too young now, Ping Yizi won't teach him martial arts. What's referred to as the new thing is medical knowledge.

  It is known that Ping Yizhi is a divine doctor, the absolute number one divine doctor in the world of Jianghu. What he is most proud of is his medical skills, and as Lin Heng is his disciple, he naturally wants to inherit his medical skills. Especially after seeing Lin Heng's learning speed, he decided to let this disciple inherit his medical skills. Therefore, when he sees Lin Heng watching him prepare medicine, he feels happy, and when he sees Lin Heng ask him the names of the medicines, he becomes excited.

  And this is also the reason why he decided to teach Lin Heng medicine.

  Medicine is absolutely a huge subject. From a modern perspective, you might not think there's anything to it, but when Lin Heng heard Ping Yi introduce traditional Chinese medicine, he knew that this was a massive project that would take one lifetime, two lifetimes, or even generations to complete. Don't mention anything else, just look at its foundation.

  For traditional Chinese medicine, the foundation is the theory of yin and yang and the five elements. Even more fundamental than that is the study of the human body. However, in ancient times, dissecting the human body was not allowed, so the theory of yin and yang and the five elements became the foundation of foundations, and it's precisely this theory that gives Lin Heng a headache.

  The concept of yin and yang, the five elements in the human body, seems simple at first glance, but when explained in detail, it becomes complicated. Just like a book, it's just a few pages of written words, but when put into practice, you'll find that memorizing these things is useless unless combined with actual experience. For example, medical diagnosis involves observing, listening, asking and palpating, which examines the qi, shape and spirit of the human body to make an accurate diagnosis. These things can't be mastered just by memorizing theories.

  But that's just the basics, and the subsequent acupuncture and medicinal materials are even more overwhelming. In learning acupuncture, you need to know the acupoints of the human body, especially according to different people, accurately identifying the acupoints without any errors; as for medicinal materials, it's even more troublesome because in traditional Chinese medicine, the same medicinal material may not be suitable for different people, so you need to prescribe medication based on a person's characteristics, and to achieve this, you must understand the properties of the medicinal materials, also without any slight error.

  These things can't be learned from books, they must be practiced. This is probably also the reason why it's hard to master traditional Chinese medicine. However, what you need to do first is to memorize those classic works of traditional Chinese medicine.

  In Lin Heng's initial learning, his task was not heavy, just reciting books, that is, the yin-yang and five-element theory of traditional Chinese medicine. After he memorized it, Ping Yi would explain the reasoning behind it to him, then gradually connect it to the human body. Reciting things wasn't difficult for Lin Heng, after all, he wasn't just a simple child, but the latter required his understanding, which meant he had to use his brain. Making an otaku use his brain was really a bit of a challenge for Lin Heng, fortunately, he persisted in order to learn martial arts.

  "Finally finished learning!"

  For two years, Lin Heng had been studying the basics, that is, the connection between yin and yang, the five elements, and the human body. Today, Ping Yi pointed out to him that he had finished the last lesson of his foundation course, and he finally had some time to relax.

  Lin Heng put down the book in his hand and stretched his waist with a big yawn, then a bitter smile appeared on his face.

  "It's really true, I've never memorized anything like this in my past life. It seems that I...". As he spoke, Lin Heng suddenly froze, then a look of excitement appeared on his face, and he muttered to himself: "Golden Finger, I have the Golden Finger..."

  Yes, Golden Finger, a must-have for traversers, Lin Heng also has one. Only, he didn't used to meet the qualifications to activate the Golden Finger, but now he does, and the hidden Golden Finger within his body has been activated.

  Just now, when he was talking to himself, the sound of the system startup echoed in his mind, which made him know that he had obtained the Golden Finger, so he was excited.

  Lin Heng made an effort to calm himself down, then immersed himself in his mind. In an instant, he saw a formless screen appear before his eyes. On the screen were three large buttons, each with the words "Tianyan", "Adjustment" and "Medicine" written on them. The medicine button was emitting a soft white glow. Based on Lin Heng's experience, he knew this represented activation, so without hesitation, he clicked the medicine button.

  With a pop, the screen went black and then lit up again. On the relit screen, a line of large characters appeared - Host learning medical basics, medical system activated! Below the large characters, there was a human body model, which although small, looked very clear to Lin Heng, especially the meridians and acupoints on it, without any concealment. Under the human body model, there was a small button with the words "Study" written on it.

  Lin Heng knew that this should be a way to learn medical knowledge in the system, but he didn't know how. He was curious and immediately clicked on it. The screen changed suddenly, and the small screen became a huge wall-sized screen. The transparent human model also turned into an extremely realistic person.

  "Doctor, I'm having a sore throat, can you help me take a look?"

  Lin Heng was startled when the person on the screen suddenly spoke, but he quickly came to his senses and realized that this was the system allowing him to practice his skills. Otherwise, it wouldn't be so realistic. He immediately adjusted his mindset and began to examine the person on the screen. To be honest, no matter how he looked at it, this person was just like a real person, especially when Lin Heng touched his wrist, he felt skin that was just like a human's, which made all the hairs on Lin Heng's body stand up. Fortunately, his mindset was good, and he quickly adjusted again, then proceeded to give the person a physical examination.

  Look, listen, ask and palpate. First look, then ask, and finally take the pulse. Lin Heng did all of these things, but in the end he still couldn't figure out what was wrong with this person.

  Just as he was at a loss, a line of large characters appeared on the system screen, which wrote down the cause of the disease. After seeing the cause of the disease, Lin Heng immediately re-examined and then contacted his own knowledge, and then he also got the cause of the disease, but how to treat it didn't move, after all, he only learned the basics.

  There was the first patient, then the second, and then the third, fourth... all the way to the tenth. Lin Heng also couldn't help but feel annoyed as he examined them, even though he relied on the system's help until the very end. But just after the tenth one, the system shut down, no matter how much Lin Heng called out for it, it wouldn't come back online.

  Lin Heng speculated that it might be what was known as energy, with ten people being the energy required to maintain the system, and after ten, the system would enter sleep mode. The only question was how long it would take for the system to awaken again.

  With an excited mood, Lin Heng spent a sleepless night. On the second day, he listlessly accepted Ping Yizi's examination, making mistakes repeatedly because his mind was not on it, which made Ping Yizi severely punish him with several strokes of the ruler.

  At night, Lin Heng sat on the bed, constantly calling out to the system. Fortunately, he didn't have to wait too long, and at 8 o'clock in the evening, the system appeared. He then entered the system's learning mode again. Ten minutes later, the system disappeared again. But Lin Heng was relieved, because he knew that every day at this time, the system would appear, and after he learned for ten minutes, the system would fall asleep.

  With a relieved heart, Lin Heng entered dreamland, in his dream, he had a good dream, and the corners of his mouth curled up.
