The "Hundred Afflictions Medical Canon" was the life’s work of the Huichuntang patriarch, a crystallization of a lifetime spent traveling the world and agonizing over his research; its contents were truly breathtaking. Chu Xuan could still recall the fervent look in the eyes of his three mentors when they first mentioned this book to him.
With a heart full of reverence, Chu Xuan opened the volume. Upon seeing the powerful, deep-etched calligraphy on the pages, he knew immediately that the patriarch of Huichuntang had been a master of extraordinary strength and iron-willed resolve.
As he carefully read through the book, he discovered many methods for treating illnesses that were incredibly forward-thinking and creative—methods that bore a striking resemblance to those taught in the women’s prison. Of course, there were also many things he had never seen or heard of before, and he found himself gaining a great deal of insight after reading it.
