Matthew pulled his attention away from the book and looked at Carson's face, looking at his apprentice who was ten years older than him.
Back in Skywisp, he'd heard Carson speak highly of the Harmona Sect. Why would he question the book?
Carson noticed Matthew staring at him without saying anything and nervously asked, "Are you upset, Mr. Grant? I didn't mean anything bad. I'm just speaking the truth."
Matthew held Five Integrations of Traditional and Modern Medicine like a precious gem. His face twisted in anger as he glared at Carson and demanded an explanation.
"That's the medical literature of the Harmona Sect. How can you call it childish?"
Carson looked panicked. "I'm serious about learning medicine from you, and I don't want to be dishonest about it. The medical knowledge in the book is a little…"
Staring into Matthew's piercing eyes, he trailed off mid-sentence, unable to get another word out after that.
Matthew coldly remarked, "Each of the Eight Medical Sects has its supporters. The Frostbloom Sect and the Presetian Sect have the most fans. Meanwhile, the Harmona Sect has no followers, and hardly any doctors are in it.
"But I'm passionate in the Harmona Sect. They are the future of traditional medicine. Now that you're my apprentice, you look down on its medical literature."
Carson was increasingly nervous. He'd just become an apprentice and didn't expect to upset Matthew so soon. "I understand I shouldn't have said that, but the medical technique inside is pretty naive."
After hearing Carson say that, Matthew began to doubt the book's contents. But the book was written by the very founder of the Harmona Sect. How could the book written by the founder be immature?
Carson stood his ground with a determined gaze. Upon seeing that, Matthew flipped through the pages and skimmed through the book, his face showed a puzzled look.
Five Integrations of Traditional and Modern Medicine covered two types of medical practice—traditional medicine and modern medicine. Pretty much every treatment approach was a mix of them.
Compared to the medical books of the Presetian Sect and the Frostbloom Sect, this medical book had some variations in its interpretation of traditional medicine. But it definitely got the job done when it came to treating illnesses and saving lives.
The problem came with the practice of modern medicine written in the book. Matthew just kept looking at it, unable to get a word out for a long time.
Standing at the side, Carson anxiously looked at Matthew, wanting to say something but holding back. He didn't dare speak any further, worried that he'd mess up again and piss Matthew off.
Realizing Matthew was quiet, Pierre asked, "What's wrong?"
Matthew sported a bitter smile. "I've always looked up to this medical book and longed for it. I can't believe it's so immature."
The modern medicine recorded in the book was more than just being naive. It was unsophisticated like a newborn baby, and it was unbearable to look at.
Anyone who tried applying the medical knowledge in the book would be laughed at by their patients. The medical book was nowhere near what Matthew expected from medical literature.
