Chapter 177 - THE PRESCRIPTIONS OF UNIVERSAL RELIEF

The hard work of Zhu Su and his team finally got paid off. The Prescriptions of Universal Relief - Pu Ji Fang - had successfully been completed. Pu Ji Fang consisted of 168 chapters, approximately 1,600 theories, 778 ways of clinical methods, and 61,739 prescriptions, and in addition, there were 239 pictures for information. Because of its giant size, Pu Ji Fang could not be printed only into one book, and by then must be divided into seven big books, each of them was as thick as a dictionary.

In fact, Pu Ji Fang is even more thorough than an ordinary prescription book. Even the formula of detergent and insect repellent exist in that book! And the accuracy is near to the detergents and bug spray in the 21st century. Moreover, some modern cosmetologists even use some prescriptions from Pu Ji Fang as beauty treatments to get natural results, as they find that the prescriptions contain no chemical side effects which would be harmful to bodies.

This time Zhu Su was determined to be totally dedicated to completing his work, he became very perfectionist in order to make Pu Ji Fang a masterpiece that could be useful for many people. After passing through a very difficult process, and with the help of Yingtian librarians, Zhu Su finally managed to get many medical books which once vanished. And, thank to Zhu Su, Chinese Medicine prescriptions from the lost books could be maintained up to the present time. If Zhu Su did not complete Pu Ji Fang, these treasurable ancient medical prescriptions would not reach our hands. And, Traditional Chinese Medicine would not be as effective, useful, and by then likable by the people from around the world as it is right now.

And, unlike Xiu Zhen Fang which was written by Li Heng, Pu Ji Fang was written by Zhu Su himself. For this reason, Zhu Su became the busiest person, and he worked much harder than anyone else in completing this giant book. It was really hard at first. If it was an ordinary prince who wrote it, writing only one chapter of Pu Ji Fang would definitely let the prince give up right away since he was used to living in luxury and by then could not work hard, but Zhu Su was not an ordinary prince. He had experienced extreme upside-down in his life. He had been in a state of complete happiness, however, he had ever fallen down into the deepest abyss. He did enjoy the joyful life the commoners would never get anyhow, but, such kinds of miserable lives - such as being imprisoned and even almost got killed - which would never be experienced by the commoners, he had ever experienced that. All these things, formed him to be a relentless, tireless, and tough person, who was keen to work hard to actualize his passion into reality.

"The misfortune you are enduring is what now opens your Great Destiny."

Since Pu Ji Fang was so impeccable, it then surpassed Zhu Su's expectation that Pu Ji Fang would be a legendary work which echoed throughout the centuries. Medical experts all around China in the modern age agree to give high appreciation for Pu Ji Fang, praise it as "a book that has an abundance of knowledge and a very detailed explanation of medicine, no other book can surpass it." Pu Ji Fang becomes an important reference for Chinese Medicine students all over China and even around the world. And when it comes to theses and dissertations writing in national and international scientific journals, Chinese medicine experts, and even western medical doctors, take many of the research topics from Pu Ji Fang - even some of them succeed in making the National Library of Medicine in the United States got interested in including the results of the research in their sites.

It even surpassed the predictions of royal physicians in the launching of Xiu Zhen Fang. Zhu Su becomes famous not only in Chinese history, but the greatness of his work has also flown so far away, even to the continents separated miles away from China.

Yet of course, at this time Zhu Su would never know about that matter, which just happened six hundred years later. He only knew that his hard work could help many people. Especially those who needed guidance to treat diseases they or their relatives suffered from and no skillful physicians could help them, they felt blessed with the publication of Pu Ji Fang. They came in droves to thank Zhu Su for the knowledge he taught through his Pu Ji Fang.

"The explanation of Pu Ji Fang is very simple and easy to do. Although we are just ordinary people and have no knowledge about medicine, with Pu Ji Fang we can diagnose what kind of disease our relatives suffer from quite easily, and thus provide appropriate assistance." That was the opinion of government officials from the other Fan Wang Guo.

"A few days ago, my nephew was seriously ill. Sadly, no physicians we could find, but thankfully we had got the copy of Pu Ji Fang, we attempted to make diagnose, and thus could help him by giving an appropriate prescription," Others said happily.

"Most of Ming people still live in underdeveloped areas, they are vulnerable to illness. Besides, our country is still lack of highly skilled medical personnel. Pu Ji Fang provides medical guidance for ordinary people who do not understand medicine but really need useful information about it. And apparently, it can also give some insight for all medical practitioners. After all, medical practitioners who are truly the experts in Ming nowadays are very deprived." It was the appraisal from an official who was concerned with health and welfare issues.

Zhu Su and his team responded to those enthusiastic utterances with intense happiness. Grinning happily, Zhu Su replied to them all, "Thank you very much for your support and enthusiasm for Pu Ji Fang! This is the second book I've planned to make since long ago to complete Xiu Zhen Fang. Maybe some of you thought that Xiu Zhen Fang is too small, simple, and can't give much help. Then I think Pu Ji Fang should be able to complete that deficiency. All problems related to health are recorded here, from the most complicated to the simplest. And today, as I hear positive responses from all of you, then it means I have succeeded in realizing that request."

"Yes, you are amazing, Su, since you can complete such a giant and comprehensive book with your own ability."
