Chapter 521: Chapter 222: Those Who Study Chinese Medicine Don’t Understand Herbal Medicine, Those Who Understand Herbal Medicine Don’t Understand Chinese Medicine

"I have learned!"

Under the gaze of several people, Zhang Guangli bowed to Lu Xuan, as if in a pilgrimage.

He was very persistent; even though Lu Xuan was startled by this and stepped forward to support him, Zhang still forcibly went through with the bow.

Lu Xuan’s eyes showed a hint of surprise. He never expected that this elderly man would have such strength, so much so that even before he exerted any force, the other party had already bowed to him.

He even wondered if, even if he tried his best to stop him, he still couldn’t prevent this from happening.

This old man was too stubborn.

It seemed that once he decided on something, he wouldn’t give up because of anyone else’s intervention.

"Dean Zhang, there’s no need for this. I’m just a junior; how can I accept such a grand gesture from you? If Old Mr. Zhang found out, he might even think breaking my legs wouldn’t be enough." Lu Xuan smiled helplessly.

The Lu Family’s family rules have always been very strict, especially with Old Mr. Zhang.

Don’t be misled by Lu Qinian’s usual amiable demeanor towards the younger generation; he rarely scolds or punishes, but he places great importance on respecting one’s elders.

Boys can be a bit mischievous, but there’s a hierarchy, and respect for the elderly and care for the young is essential.

So, when faced with Zhang Guangli’s bow, Lu Xuan felt both flattered and fearful.

"A capable person can be a teacher!"

Faced with Lu Xuan’s amazement, Zhang Guangli raised his head, his face full of sincerity.

Beside him, Lv Xuming was quietly observing Zhang Guangli. When Zhang Guangli bowed, he noticed a bright light in the elderly man’s eyes, just as if...

He was on a pilgrimage!

Lv Xuming thought of this phrase in his heart.

Old Zhou took a deep breath.

In Anjiang County’s medical circles, he was quite well-known. Anjiang is very small, and becoming a chief physician isn’t easy. Although Old Zhou’s medical skills might not match those of Lv Xuming, they weren’t far behind.

Previously, hospitals in the city had contacted him, but since Old Zhou’s family was in Anjiang, and his grandchildren were born there, he chose to stay in Anjiang to enjoy family life, giving up the opportunity to work in the city.

He had never mentioned this to anyone.

Not even to his family.

As for Zhang Guangli, Old Zhou wasn’t very familiar, but he had heard of his reputation.

Being the dean of First Hospital, even though it was only in the small county of Anjiang’s County Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, was not a position ordinary people could access.

For many people, the highest-ranking person they might meet in their lifetime might be someone like him.

Zhang Guangli being able to serve as the dean of County Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine certainly had his skills.

Old Zhou had heard of it.

This old fellow had skills, and similarly, he was very arrogant in the field of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Criticism of the young was more common for him, not out of superiority due to age, but due to a genuine hope that the younger generation of Traditional Chinese Medicine doctors would settle down to study and carry forward Traditional Chinese Medicine.

It could be said that throughout Anjiang County, if you had to find someone who could make Zhang Guangli humble enough to learn, apart from the late Old Mr. Zhang, there was probably no one else.

Even those who had left Anjiang, becoming Traditional Chinese Medicine doctors elsewhere, found it hard to move Zhang Guangli in this way.

And the scene at this moment left Old Zhou in awe.

Watching this moment where the dean of the County Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine— who held a high position in Anjiang County’s Traditional Chinese Medicine circle — was actually impressed by a young man in his twenties, Old Zhou found it hard to believe and was simultaneously struck by Lu Xuan’s extensive knowledge.

Old Zhou couldn’t help but cast his gaze towards the young man standing in front of Zhang Guangli, who was currently supporting Zhang Guangli with both hands.

At this moment, Lu Xuan couldn’t care less about the astonished gazes of others, and could only keep talking to Zhang Guangli, urging him to get up quickly.

Seeing this scene, Old Zhou took a breath. He wanted to see how much more this young man was capable of.

By now, Zhang Guangli no longer regarded Lu Xuan as a young man in his twenties. Faced with Lu Xuan, he felt like he was back in his youth, as a student in Huang Beishan’s class.

"Talented people emerge in every generation, each leading for hundreds of years; truly a dynamic young man..."

Zhang Guangli was filled with emotion in his heart, stroking his slightly gray short beard, and said seriously: "I have always thought that in the field of Traditional Chinese Medicine, there could be geniuses, but it would be impossible to cultivate a top-notch doctor by the age of twenty-something. Not until today did I realize, after seeing you, that I’ve wasted decades knowing little about Traditional Chinese Medicine and that there’s so much more I need to learn."

"Combining what Dr. Lu just said with the experiences I have accumulated over the years, I’ve truly gained a lot."

"Since Dean Zhang is willing to listen, how about we find a place to sit down and talk slowly? The prescriptions I mentioned earlier might require arrangements from your side."

"That’s no problem. Let’s find a place to have a chat first."

Zhang Guangli looked eager.

Then, Zhang Guangli handed over other matters to Lv Xuming, asked him for a quiet office, and pulled Lu Xuan in.

"You mentioned earlier about the influence of kidney essence and kidney qi on the human body. I’ve looked into this, but there are areas I’m still not very clear about."

"Please go ahead, Dean Zhang."

Zhang Guangli pondered for a moment and said, "We often say in Traditional Chinese Medicine about kidney yin and kidney yang, which I know something about, but I also have doubts. Can Dr. Lu talk to me about this aspect of knowledge?"

As he spoke, he already took out his phone, seriously opened the recording, and explained: "Being older, my memory isn’t that good, so I have to rely on this."
