"Don’t push, you can’t co in. If you want to watch the excitent, stand outside. Immortal Sun is busy treating patients inside and has no ti to deal with you," the young Taoist guarding the door called out, albeit not harshly.

Lin Wanwan bowed and said, "My master has a scroll of dical writings detailing ergency techniques from around the world. I’ve heard the Immortal is here and wish to offer it to Immortal Sun to relieve the ailnts of the people."

The young Taoist blushed slightly, glanced at Lin Wanwan, and asked her, "Do you also study dicine? Who is your esteed master? I shall report to him."

Just as Lin Wanwan was about to answer, an elderly man in a cyan Taoist robe approached the doorway. He was tall, with graying hair and beard, yet he exuded no air of old age, standing as firmly as a youthful pine, making it impossible to guess his age. Three other Taoists followed him, one of whom was Taoist Wang who knew bone-setting.

With that, need there be any doubt about the person’s identity before them? This was undeniably Immortal Sun.

His appearance stirred a commotion, and people began to kneel and pay their respects. Despite the Great Tang not being an era like the Ming or Qing Dynasties where officials received kneeling easily, everyone willingly and sincerely showed reverence to this man, demonstrating his high status in the hearts of the people.

Sun Simiao waved his hand and said, "No need for excessive courtesy, disperse now. Simple ailnts, go to the neighborhood doctor; those with difficult symptoms, queue and wait, no pushing, no crowding."

The crowd finally saw the old immortal Sun Simiao, much like fans seeing their favorite celebrity, reluctant to leave, expressing their feelings in a buzz of conversation.

Looking at Lin Wanwan, Sun Simiao asked, "Young one, was it you who ntioned having a dical book recording ergency techniques just now?"

Lin Wanwan nodded with a smile and replied, "Yes, Immortal, it was indeed . My master was once a healer, saving countless lives. Later, due to the collapse of order and instability in the world, my master took and my fellow apprentice into seclusion and passed away last year, leaving a scroll on ergency dicine."

Taoist Wang interjected, "Immortal Sun, earlier this young lady used so stitching technique to treat an external injury."

Sun Simiao nodded in acknowledgnt and continued, "Such a dical book could be your family heirloom, why not keep it for yourself? If given to , I would extract its essence and incorporate it into the ’Thousand Gold Prescriptions’ to make it public."

Lin Wanwan laughed indifferently and said, "My master specifically instructed that if fortunate enough to et Immortal Sun, I should present this book, to contribute a small effort for the patients of the world. How could I selfishly treasure it for personal gain and wealth from dicine?"

Sun Simiao stroked his graying beard with a smile and asked, "Good, good! You are thoughtful. May I know your master’s na?"

The sa old answer from Lin Wanwan, "Master is just Master. He said since he has withdrawn from the world, he has no na. I only call him Master from a young age, really do not know his na."

"Oh? Your master’s indifference to fa and wealth is admirable," Sun Simiao was slightly surprised. Accepting an apprentice is a serious matter, yet there are masters who don’t even let their disciples know their na, completely disregarding legacy. Such an unorthodox, detached hermit was sothing he’d never heard of before.

Sun Simiao’s curiosity about Lin Wanwan’s master grew, wondering what level of dical writing was left behind.

With a nod, he turned and headed inside: "Go then, the old Daoist will stay here for a few days."

Implying Lin Wanwan should bring the dical book to him.

Lin Wanwan smiled and bowed, watching as Sun Simiao’s figure disappeared into the depths of the main hall. Only then did she joyfully return to her senses. As for the so-called scroll on ergency dicine, it was sothing she had made up on the spot. When she returned to the modern day tonight, she could imdiately hand-copy an ergency manual and have it!

Back ho, she needed to consider thoroughly, making sure to include so dical knowledge, especially related to childbirth, as this could save countless won’s lives.

In ancient tis, childbirth for won was a grave ordeal, with one foot in the door of death, life and death left to fate. The high mortality rate was not only due to difficult labor but also because midwives were not ticulous, greatly increasing the risk of bacterial infection.

Even so, at the start of modern dicine, more won died under doctors than midwives. Midwives at least, through generations of tradition, would repeatedly wash the blood with boiled hot water, whereas the earliest doctors didn’t even have the concept of washing their hands!

During her ti in Great Tang, Lin Wanwan must bring so benefits for her fellow won, a top priority indeed.

Sun Simiao excelled in internal dicine, and he also specialized in gynecology, pediatrics, surgery, and otolaryngology. Writing these into scrolls, the counterpart was sure to understand. Sun the Divine Doctor disseminating such information would be a hundred tis more effective than Lin Wanwan promoting it privately.

A person’s na and reputation carry weight.

As the crowd gradually dispersed, the three sisters of the Xiao Family finally squeezed to Lin Wanwan’s side. Xiao Liwei couldn’t help but ask, "Cousin, what did you just talk about with Immortal Sun?"

Previously, there were too many people, "quacking" like ducks. The three of them were jostling in the crowd, hearing only noise, unable to catch the conversation between Sun Simiao and Lin Wanwan at the forefront. It was only when everyone knelt to pay respects to Immortal Sun, and they looked up to see Lin Wanwan bowing, did they realize she had made her way to the front.

Lin Wanwan smiled and said, "Nothing much, just talked a couple of words about so dical matters with Immortal Sun. I will return tomorrow; I’ve already arranged to et Immortal Sun again."

The three girls marveled upon hearing this, never expecting this cousin to be so skilled in dicine as to converse with Immortal Sun.

Xiao Ronghua marveled, "Cousin Wanwan, you are amazing, no wonder you were able to save Xiao Mingfu. Brother always spoke of your brave act of saving Xiao Mingfu!"

"Yes, yes, Cousin Wanwan, you truly are amazing."

They chatted and laughed, asked a bit about He Miao’s situation, to which Lin Wanwan casually replied, and the topic was dropped. The matter has happened, and thinking more wouldn’t help; future arrangents are beyond their control and will be handled by the family elders.

"I’m going to check on my elder sister, not sure how her foot injury is doing."

Just as they were saying this, Xiao Xianghua and others approached limping. Little Qingyu broke away from the crowd and rushed towards Lin Wanwan: "Mother!"

Lin Wanwan smiled, crouching to catch the little missile hurling into her arms, lifting her with one arm.

Xiao Xianghua said to Lin Wanwan, "Cousin Wanwan, I’ve retrieved all the winnings."

Lin Wanwan nodded slightly and said to Xiao Xianghua, "All thanks to Cousin. Don’t move too much, have a sedan chair brought over. Ronghua, join her in the room to rest, she mustn’t move around; though the bone wasn’t injured, her tendon was, needing rest."

"Yes, we know, Cousin Wanwan, aren’t you going back to the room?"

Lin Wanwan shook her head, "I still want to stroll around."
