Chapter 377: Chapter 263: Everything is Changing, Unusual Movements in Heaven and Earth

“Master, Brother, you’re back!”

The young apprentice exclaimed joyfully upon seeing the two who had entered from outside.

“Indeed, we’ve returned for a while, but since we saw this Young Master was rescuing someone, we did not wish to disturb him.”

Dr. Zhao nodded, unslung the medicine box from his back, and handed it to the young disciple, curiously looking at Lu Qing.

Lu Qing was also sizing up the other party.

In fact, with his Martial Arts Cultivation, he had naturally noticed someone standing outside earlier.

He had just been too focused on the emergency to pay much attention, as the visitors had not disturbed his work.

The two who entered were a middle-aged man and a young man.

The elder one had a refined and scholarly demeanor, sporting a long beard, and seemed more a scholar than a doctor.

The younger one looked honest and sincere, clearly a straightforward person.

“Dr. Zhao, you’re back, Old Wang was bitten by a venomous snake. Fortunately, you weren’t at the clinic, and this Young Master Lu incidentally saved his life, might you see how Old Wang is now?”

Uncle Li, overjoyed at the sight of Dr. Zhao, hurriedly stepped forward and said.

It wasn’t that he didn’t trust Lu Qing, but Lu Qing was ultimately too young, and having Dr. Zhao, a highly respected doctor, examine Old Wang would provide more reassurance.

“That’s fine, I’ll take a look at Old Wang’s pulse, Young Master, you don’t mind, do you?”

Dr. Zhao didn’t refuse and instead turned to Lu Qing.

After all, this was his patient, and interfering abruptly could easily cause conflict with someone who may be prideful.

“Don’t worry, as my experience in treating patients is lacking, it’s better to have Dr. Zhao overseeing.”

Lu Qing did not have any disputes with fellow practitioners and agreed willingly.

Moreover, since he intervened in somebody else’s clinic, he technically breached the etiquette, and should any issues arise, it could impact the clinic’s business.

Thus, Dr. Zhao was welcome to check the pulse, and Lu Qing was happy to oblige.

Seeing Lu Qing’s unreserved manner, Dr. Zhao’s eyes flickered with a peculiar light, growing even more curious about his background.

However, he didn’t rush to inquire but instead approached Old Wang, extended three fingers, and felt his pulse.

Dr. Zhao had been deeply shocked and curious as he had observed Lu Qing using acupuncture to expel Poison Blood from Old Wang.

Now, he was eager to understand Old Wang’s current condition.

After checking the pulse for a while, the look of surprise on Dr. Zhao’s face deepened.

He discovered that Old Wang’s pulse was now steady and strong, his breathing was smooth and orderly, definitely not resembling a patient who had just been recovered from the brink of death.

Instead, he seemed like an ordinary person who had been injured and was now peacefully recuperating.

“How is it, Dr. Zhao?”

Uncle Li and the others looked expectantly at Dr. Zhao.

Dr. Zhao released his hand and smiled, “This Young Master’s medical skills are extremely superb; Old Wang is no longer in danger. I believe he should awake soon.”

“That is truly wonderful.”

Uncle Li and the others were thrilled and once again expressed their gratitude to Lu Qing.

Watching Lu Qing politely handle everyone’s thanks, Dr. Zhao revealed a look of curiosity.

His previous words were not mere courtesy.

In his opinion, Lu Qing’s medical skill was indeed exceptional.

To save a patient deeply afflicted with poison and hanging by a thread, pushing all Poison Blood out with just acupuncture,

was something even he could not achieve.

Thus, he was very curious about what background Lu Qing had, for such a young man to possess such miraculous medical skills.

He had never heard of such a prodigious young man in Central State before.

“Young Master, I have not yet asked for your esteemed name.”

Once Lu Qing had finished responding to Uncle Li and the others’ thanks, Dr. Zhao slightly bowed as a greeting and said to Lu Qing.

“Dr. Zhao need not be so polite. My surname is Lu, and my given name is Qing. The situation was urgent earlier, thus I presumptuously offered help at your esteemed clinic; I hope you forgive me,” Lu Qing responded with a bow as well.

“Young Master, what are you saying? Without your intervention, Old Wang might have been in grave danger. Saving a life is of utmost importance; why bother with such trivial formalities?”

Dr. Zhao waved his hand, showing that he didn’t mind at all.

“By the way, Young Master Lu, with such profound medical skills, may I inquire who is your esteemed master?”

“My master’s surname is Chen, just an ordinary Traveling Doctor recluse in the countryside; Dr. Zhao, you probably don’t know of him,” Lu Qing humbly responded.

However, his words were indeed true as his master had always considered himself an ordinary doctor, and his description wasn’t intended to belittle his mentor.

“Dr. Chen?”

Dr. Zhao’s mind raced, trying to recall if there was a famous doctor named Chen in Central State.

As for the ‘Traveling Doctor’ title Lu Qing mentioned, he naturally took it as a modesty.

After all, anyone who could train such an exceptional young healer like Lu Qing couldn’t be just any ordinary medical practitioner.

Unfortunately, after thinking it over, he couldn’t think of any prominent doctor named Chen.

“By the way, Dr. Zhao, I have other matters to attend to and must take my leave now.”

Lu Qing saw that Dr. Zhao was very interested in his origins, but he didn’t elaborate further.

He merely bowed slightly, ready to depart.

“You’re leaving so soon?” Dr. Zhao was surprised.

“Yes, I still have other matters to attend to, so I won’t disturb you any longer. By the way, little master, if it’s possible, please try to gather the medicinal herbs listed on my prescription. I will come to pick them up tomorrow morning; here is the deposit.”
