"Brother Mu, do you know what is most important in the study of medicine?"
Amidst the wind and snow, Elder Li spoke slowly. His voice was calm, yet it carried with perfect clarity into Chu Mu's ears despite the howling, frigid wind.
"Know people, know medicine."
Chu Mu pondered for a moment before firmly speaking those four words.
"Brother Mu, you are truly gifted. You have only studied medicine for a month, yet you have already grasped its essence."
Elder Li's face showed his admiration. "This principle is the ultimate truth of the medical path!"
"Know the person to understand their needs. Know the medicine to understand its properties. This allows you to treat the ailment and understand what is required."
"Brother Mu, you are a man of martial arts. I imagine you are learning medicine from this old man to aid your training. If so, you must remember this principle even more keenly: know the person, know the medicine, so that you may know your own needs."
