“Is it certain that the medicine I prescribed this time is accurate?”

Lu Xuan shook his head and said, “I don’t think so. Next time, the prescription will still need to change, but only slightly.”

Zhang Jingcai’s eyes lit up when he heard this, and his gaze at Lu Xuan was full of admiration and respect.

So young, yet his research on Traditional Chinese Medicine already surpasses an old-timer like me who has been immersed in this field for forty or fifty years. The future of Traditional Chinese Medicine is promising!

Although it’s just in the area of liver cancer, one can infer the whole picture from a part. Lu Xuan’s understanding of other fields is certainly not lower than his understanding of primary liver cancer, possibly even higher.

Lu Xuan is even more outstanding than Zhou Jiande said.

For someone like him, given time, becoming a nationally renowned traditional Chinese medicine doctor is only a matter of time. I wouldn’t doubt it if he were to become a living Hua Tuo or if Zhongjing was reborn.

Lu Xuan possesses this capability.

This is a top talent in the field of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Even though he is only in his twenties, he already possesses skills comparable to those of mine and Huang Beishan, possibly even far exceeding ours.

Diagnosing and prescribing medication for liver cancer patients didn’t take much time.

After Gu Huahua finished registering the prescription for the patient, and the patient went out with their medical record book to pay, Zhang Jingcai gestured for Gu Huahua to hold off on calling the next patient and instead turned to Lu Xuan, “Dr. Lu, you are naturally gifted in studying Chinese medicine. I want to introduce you to join the Yong City Chinese Medical Association as a board member. How do you feel about that?”

Zhang Jingcai sought Lu Xuan’s opinion, and Gu Huahua, on the side, felt quite uncomfortable hearing this.

But there was nothing he could do; Lu Xuan was indeed extraordinarily talented.

So talented that you have nothing to say.

At this moment, Gu Huahua realized that in just over half a year, this former classmate who was already top of the class had far surpassed them in the field of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Just now, the things Lu Xuan spoke about with eloquence, he couldn’t even begin to understand, let alone note down. He was dumbfounded listening to it.

What he thought about more was, “Is this still the Lu Xuan I knew?”

How does he seem like a different person!

It wasn’t just his skills; there were so many things that they couldn’t even see Lu Xuan’s shadow anymore.

Yong City Chinese Medical Association Board Member.

Even though it’s just a board member, there are only a few Chinese medicine practitioners in the whole of Yong City who can obtain this position. Most chief physicians, even if they enter the Yong City Chinese Medical Association, are just ordinary members.

Yet Lu Xuan, as soon as he enters the Yong City Chinese Medical Association, becomes a board member directly. The difference is too great.

“This… Can I?” Lu Xuan’s breath hitched, and he looked at Zhang Jingcai in disbelief.

“Why wouldn’t you be able to?”

Zhang Jingcai smiled and said, “To become a member of the Yong City Chinese Medical Association, you only need recommendations from three people, so don’t worry about that. I’ll help you with it. As for becoming a board member, generally speaking, as long as more than half of the board agrees, it’s fine. I, Old Zhou, Old Ye, and Old Huang are board members, along with my brother; he and Old Huang are vice presidents. That’s already half.”

“Are there so few board members in the Yong City Chinese Medical Association?” Lu Xuan asked in confusion.

“You didn’t think there were many, did you?”

Zhang Jingcai laughed and said, “The Yong City Chinese Medical Association is similar to the United South Chinese Medicine Association. It does not accept mediocre talents; quality over quantity.

Even for regular members, they must have genuine skills. There are less than forty members in the whole of Yong City, and there are even fewer board members. Including Chairman Cui and three vice presidents, there are fewer than ten people.”

So that’s how it is.

Lu Xuan understood.

When the elder mentioned the Yong City Chinese Medical Association, he thought there would be quite a few members, at least over a hundred, since there are many practitioners in Yong City, which also places significant importance on Chinese Medicine. There are more renowned traditional Chinese medicine doctors here than in average cities.

And naturally, there would be quite a few board members, making it not a simple task to get more than half of the votes.

But after hearing Zhang Lao’s explanation, getting a majority vote seems quite easy.

Zhang Jingcai, Zhang Jingjiu, Huang Beishan, Zhou Jiande, Ye Haishen, that’s already more than half. Adding Chairman Cui, within one president and three vice presidents, they’ve already got three people. There’s no escaping this board member position.

Even so, Lu Xuan couldn’t help but ask, “Is there no examination for joining? Otherwise, getting recommendations from three members is relatively easy, isn’t it?”

“It’s certainly easy. After all, everyone knows each other; we meet frequently,”

Zhang Jingcai nodded and said, “However, when everyone joins, we have set rules: if someone isn’t genuinely skilled, they’re not allowed to recommend them to the association. If a problem is discovered later, not only will the recommended person be required to leave the association, but the three involved in the recommendation will also have to leave.”

“No wonder.”

Lu Xuan finally understood why there were so few members in the Yong City Chinese Medical Association. It really deterred casual recommendations.

And those who are truly skilled, the Yong City Chinese Medical Association would likely extend an invitation to join.

Zhang Jingcai laughed as he said, “Otherwise, without some governing measures, the Yong City Chinese Medical Association would be overcrowded by now.”

Lu Xuan nodded, “This rule is quite good: promote the capable and demote the mediocre.”

This was the second time Lu Xuan had said this, but unlike the first time, previously, he was just an unknown figure.

But now, even if his name Lu Xuan isn’t well-known yet throughout Yong City, unlike the revered elders and Huang Lao, who are held in high regard by countless Traditional Chinese Medicine doctors and patients, he is no longer someone who can be easily manipulated.

Even just receiving an invitation from the United South Chinese Medicine Association is enough to make his name known in Yong City in a short period.

Although the effects are not visible yet, that’s only because he just started seeing patients today. Not many people know, whether patients or in the Yong City medical community.

But let the word spread for a couple more days, and Lu Xuan’s name will undoubtedly become known by everyone in Yong City.

Moreover, especially with becoming a Yong City Chinese Medical Association board member.

Even though there’s no definitive decision on being a board member yet, with recommendations from Zhang Lao and others, what problems could there be?

On the side, Gu Huahua was completely stunned at this point.

He was previously wondering why Zhang Lao had brought Lu Xuan to the clinic, even thinking Lu Xuan came to see a doctor.

Unexpectedly, Lu Xuan really was here to see a doctor.

However, it was at Zhang Lao’s invitation to see patients for others.

Even so, Gu Huahua didn’t think too much of it. Seeing patients is seeing patients. But the more he listened, the more shocked he became.

This guy Lu Xuan, after not seeing him for more than half a year, seemed like a completely different person.

Not only are his skills outstanding, but even Zhang Lao admitted he was unmatched, and he became a sitting doctor at the United South Chinese Medicine Association.

Which traditional Chinese medicine doctor in Yong City doesn’t know the reputation of the United South Chinese Medicine Association?

Who doesn’t know that only the top renowned doctors of Yong City enter here?

Before becoming Zhang Lao’s assistant at the United South Chinese Medicine Association, Gu Huahua was serving a deputy chief TCM doctor who constantly talked about the United South Chinese Medicine Association.

Despite being a deputy chief TCM doctor, not even getting through the doors of the United South Chinese Medicine Association—how many people knew that?

More so, the hospital’s Department of Chinese Medicine director, a chief TCM doctor, was nearly desperate to sit in the United South Chinese Medicine Association.

And whether it’s the deputy chief TCM doctor he served or the department director, to an intern like him, they’re undoubtedly the top figures, standing at the peak of Yong City’s medical community.

On usual encounters, he treated them with the utmost caution, fearing any mistake would cost him his assistant job.

Back then, many classmates envied him for becoming the deputy chief TCM doctor’s assistant. Today, they envied him even more for becoming Zhang Lao’s assistant at the United South Chinese Medicine Association. He himself felt extremely delighted, feeling he really stood out among his peers this time.

But now, seeing Lu Xuan, he’s starting to question reality.

Getting invited to sit at the United South Chinese Medicine Association aside, Zhang Lao even planned with others to push Lu Xuan into the Yong City Chinese Medical Association as a board member.

Gu Huahua felt like he was listening to a fantasy tale.

He even wondered if he was dreaming, and hadn’t woken up yet.
