"This master-student relationship is well ford!" Huang Beishan exclaid, slamming the table.
If it were before, he might have advised against it, but after witnessing the Mountain Burning Fire and Heart-piercing Cold techniques, he wholeheartedly agreed with Zhou Jiande's decision to take a master: "I'll definitely attend the apprenticeship banquet. Just give a shout, and as long as I'm alive, I'll be there to bear witness for you."
"Count in too." Zhang Jingcai, who normally didn't say much, chid in.
Zhou Jiande nodded earnestly: "It's settled then. I'll need your help to arrange it when the ti cos."
"That's nothing. Just give a chance to experience the Mountain Burning Fire and Heart-piercing Cold techniques," Huang Beishan chuckled.
"No worries, feel free to experience it ten tis a day if you like," Zhou Jiande said generously.
But Huang Beishan couldn't laugh, and replied irritably, "I don't want to die that early."
Experiencing the Mountain Burning Fire and Heart-piercing Cold techniques ten tis a day would exhaust even the healthiest person.
These are not ordinary techniques where it's okay to practice daily.
The intense heat and cold would be unbearable even for a body of iron.
"Where is this Dr. Lu you ntioned? I didn't see him when I went to your clinic," Huang Beishan suddenly asked.
"Yes! Where is he? Introduce us so we can et him. Having not t such an extraordinary person would certainly keep awake tonight," Ye Haishen eagerly added. "A person capable of diagnosing and prescribing in internal Chinese dicine and yet so highly skilled in acupuncture, I really want to see what kind of person he is."
"He should be older than you, right?" Zhang Jingcai inquired from the side.
Zhou Jiande shook his head.
"Not older?"
"Younger?"
Ye Haishen, montarily taken aback, then chuckled: "Well, younger is fine. After all, it's about skill and ability, not age."
"Not just younger, but much younger than ."
Seeing the three n continuing to chatter, Zhou Jiande interrupted them with a wry smile and turned his head, pointing in the direction of Lu Xuan, who was chatting and laughing with his two students: "You know both my students over there, right?"
The three followed Zhou Jiande's pointing finger, looking puzzled: "We see them, what about it?"
"Opposite your two students, there seems to be a young man. Is he a new assistant?"
"Old Zhang, did you change assistants today? How is this one, promising?"
"It's only been one morning, hard to tell much. He's a bit nervous, but diligent. He asks questions when he doesn't understand. However, his clinical experience is lacking, and he knows too little, needing lengthy explanations for so situations. You know, with so many patients, I don't have much ti to explain, sotis I can only give brief explanations."
Zhang Jingcai shook his head gently: "He needs to rely on himself for the basics; I can't help much."
"Indeed, explaining basic things a few tis is fine, but more than that, there's just no ti," Huang Beishan agreed wholeheartedly, as his situation was similar to Zhang Jingcai's and he naturally understood.
"Alright, alright, enough of that. Old Zhou, tell us about this Dr. Lu you ntioned. And don't point to your students; we're not curious about them," Ye Haishen interjected, glancing impatiently at Zhou Jiande.
Zhou Jiande could only smile wryly and say, "That young man is the Dr. Lu I was talking about."
Upon hearing this, the three of them gazed at Lu Xuan in a bewildered manner—was that young man really... the Dr. Lu whom Old Zhou wanted to apprentice under?
"Is that so?"
"Are you sure?"
"Looks like he's only in his twenties, and invited by the United South Chinese dicine Association to practice?"
The voices of the three sounded nearly simultaneously.
Zhou Jiande sighed, smiling as he said, "That's my teacher, young Dr. Lu. Although he is young, he truly has the skills. You know , Old Zhou; I wouldn't deceive you on this matter.
Seeing Dr. Lu achieve the Mountain Burning Fire and Heart-piercing Cold techniques at such a young age, do you feel sowhat defeated?
To be honest, I felt the sa initially. It's like all I've learned in the past decades went to waste. He's achieved such high accomplishnts at such a young age, while I, already in my sixties, haven't advanced in acupuncture. The strength and weakness are evident at a glance.
Apprenticing under him is my good fortune!"
"Hiss~"
The three of them gulped heavily, eyes full of astonishnt.
Not once did they imagine that the Dr. Lu Zhou Jiande spoke of would be a young man in his twenties.
For a mont, Huang Beishan and the others felt their minds go blank.
It's not that they didn't believe Zhou Jiande, as, by this point, it was clear that it was true, especially since Old Zhou even demonstrated the Mountain Burning Fire and Heart-piercing Cold techniques.
The impact of those techniques, they had personally experienced.
These acupuncture artistries aren't easily mastered, and even with soone to teach, it seems improbable for Lu Xuan to have mastered them at such a young age.
Moreover, Zhou Jiande isn't a fool; the likelihood of him being deceived is low.
Besides, the man is here dining, clearly invited by the United South Chinese dicine Association and not rely an assistant, as one with such skills couldn't simply be an assistant.
The hardest to accept, however, was Lu Xuan's face, which seed untouched by life's challenges.
Too young!
So young that it seed almost unreal.
In his twenties, received an invitation from the United South Chinese dicine Association.
The three questioned what they were doing in their twenties.
Probably just graduated from school.
So might have been assisting their fathers at ho, preparing dicine, and the possibility of practicing independently was almost none, let alone, this wasn't just a simple practice.
He was invited by the United South Chinese dicine Association!
In the whole of Yong City, how many Traditional Chinese dicine Doctors can boast such an honor?
Yet a young man in his twenties achieved this. They had no doubt that even if this story was told, no one would believe it!
It was too fantastical!
Chinese dicine may seem like a mystery at tis, but this event felt magical!
