Pedestrians on the street glanced at Li Muren as he strode quickly toward Xie Shilou's courtyard, and they all turned to look at him, whispering among themselves.

"Look, isn't that Dr. Li Muren, the legendary doctor and director of Jiangling City First People's Hospital?"

"Oh, it really is him! He's a renowned doctor in our city, what brings him this way?"

"Dean Li's medical skills are superb; he's one of the best in the entire Jiangling City! The line to see him stretches from the east to the west of the city every day!"

"Yes, he's usually very busy, even eating while seeing patients. Why is he so free today? I wonder what he's doing here thanking Shi Louting?"

I murmured my praises all the way, following his figure as we drifted along.

At the entrance of Xie Shi Lou Ting villa area, the security guard on duty stretched out his hand and blocked the way.

"Where did this old man come from? Stop right there! This is a private villa, outsiders are not allowed in."

Li Muren suddenly stopped walking and didn't say anything.

The security captain happened to be leading a patrol team by when he heard this. His expression changed drastically, and he quickly stepped forward, pulled the security guard away, and sternly reprimanded him.

"Where are your eyes? How dare you call someone an old man? Do you know who you're stopping?"

"This is the renowned Dean Li Muren of Jiangling City, a legendary doctor known far and wide!"

Li Muren smiled gently, slightly raised his hand, and spoke in a calm and humble tone:

"You flatter me, everyone. I dare not call myself a miracle doctor. I only have a little medical knowledge and it is my duty to save lives."

The security guard on duty was completely drenched in cold sweat. He stood there stiffly, his head bowed low, repeatedly bowing and apologizing.

"I'm so sorry, so sorry, I'm truly sorry! I was blind to your greatness! I didn't know that the renowned physician, Dean Li, would grace us with his presence!"

"It's alright, you're right, I'm just an ordinary old man! The so-called miracle doctor is just an empty title everyone exaggerates!"

The security captain quickly composed himself, leaned forward slightly, and spoke in a respectful and steady tone.

"Dean Li, I'm really sorry for the neglect."

This is Mr. Lu's private residence, with strict access control rules. I must report and notify him first.

May I ask what brings you here today?

Li Muren's expression was solemn, and his tone was extremely firm.

"I came here specifically to become your apprentice."

What?!

A miracle doctor needs to take on an apprenticeship?!

The surrounding security guards froze, their expressions completely frozen, their eyes filled with astonishment and shock.

"To become an apprentice? Could it be that you've come to become Mr. Lu's apprentice?"

"I've long heard that Mr. Lu cured Old Master Xie with his miraculous skills and that his medical expertise is unfathomable, but that's just hearsay!"

Now even a renowned physician has personally come to seek apprenticeship; it seems Mr. Lu's abilities are truly terrifying.

The residents outside the door were instantly in an uproar, and voices rose suddenly. Everyone looked at the villa gate with shock in their eyes.

"Did I hear that right?! The miracle doctor is offering to become my apprentice!"

"This feels a bit unreal. I'll slap you and see if I'm dreaming!"

"Damn it, why don't you hit yourself?"

"Hitting yourself, it hurts so much!"

"Wow, you're absolutely right!"

Just as the noise reached its peak, the smart access control screen next to the villa gate suddenly lit up.

A calm and clear voice, passing directly through the access control system and the courtyard, reached everyone's ears clearly.

"Come in."

Li Muren immediately composed himself and respectfully stepped into the courtyard.

"Yes, Master!"

The security captain led the way, taking Li Muren to the detached villa where Lu Xuan was located.

Inside the room, Lu Jianguo and Li Xiulan caught sight of the newcomer and their bodies jolted, causing them to stand up simultaneously.

Lu Jianguo strode forward, his face beaming with a warm smile:

"Oh, Dean Li! I've heard so much about you, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

Li Xiulan was visibly shocked and agitated.

"It's actually Dr. Li! What a rare and distinguished guest!"

The two quickly raised their hands to lead the way, greeting us warmly:

"Dean Li, please sit down, please sit down. Don't stand."

Li Muren's expression turned solemn. He quickly raised his hand to avoid the approach, bowed slightly, and repeatedly declined.

"I dare not accept such praise, I would never dare."

Lu Xuan, sitting calmly on one side of the sofa, gently raised his hand.

His clear and steady voice immediately emanated from the villa's smart speaker system, reaching everyone's ears clearly:

"Please sit down."

The voice was neither hurried nor slow, without any inflection.

Li Muren's aura solidified instantly, and he bowed deeply, his attitude extremely respectful, before speaking in a deep voice:

"Thank you, Master!"

The moment those words were spoken, the living room fell into a deathly silence.

Lu Jianguo froze on the spot, his mind blank, unable to come to his senses for a long time.

Li Xiulan's eyes widened and her mouth slightly agape; she was completely dumbfounded.

The two exchanged a glance, their hearts churning with turbulent emotions that lingered for a long time.

"The legendary doctor Li Muren... he actually called my son 'master'?"

"My son actually took the director of the city's No. 1 Hospital as his apprentice?! Good heavens!"

The security captain's fingers flew across his phone as he sent the message to the community group chat, and the noise instantly spread.

"It seems there are differences even among renowned doctors!"

"For Doctor Lu to have other renowned doctors willingly become his apprentices, his medical skills must be ridiculously strong!"

"Dr. Lu is too amazing! I love him! He's so amazing I want to have his babies, ten of them!"

"Living in the same neighborhood as Dr. Lu is the greatest blessing I've ever had, I'm so happy!"

Lu Xuan looked at his parents, his expression calm and his tone even.

"Mom and Dad, please go out for a moment. I need to speak with him alone for a few minutes."

Lu Jianguo and Li Xiulan were still in shock, their steps unsteady, their minds reeling.

He mumbled a reply, turned around and walked out of the living room, closing the bedroom door behind him.

"Okay!"

The room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop; only the soft breathing of the two people could be heard.

Lu Xuan casually picked up a stack of handwritten medical books written on draft paper and handed them directly to Li Muren.

Li Muren quickly bent down and respectfully took the paper with both hands. As soon as his fingertips touched the rough paper, he carefully turned it over.

He glanced at it once, and his body shuddered violently, his pupils instantly contracting.

"Such a precious medical book was actually written on draft paper. If it were lost, it would be a great loss to the medical community."

The further I turned the pages, the more shocked I became, and my fingers trembled uncontrollably.

The book's descriptions of meridian pharmacology and methods for treating intractable diseases are incredibly ingenious; I had never heard of them before, and they surpass all medical techniques in the world.

His eyes widened in disbelief, and he couldn't help but exclaim in astonishment.

"This medical skill is absolutely amazing! Who was the esteemed physician who wrote this?"

Lu Xuan sat there, his expression calm, and slowly spoke.

"It's just something I came up with on my own, and I named it 'The Mysterious Heart Medical Canon'."

"Take this book and study it carefully. Once you've learned everything in it, come back to me, and I'll teach you even more advanced medical skills."

Li Muren held the stack of draft papers tightly in his hands, as if he were holding a rare treasure, his voice trembling with excitement.

"Master, can I pass on this medical book of yours to other doctors so that they can learn it and use it to save more lives?"

Lu Xuan nodded slightly, his tone calm yet firm.

"Of course you can. Medicine is meant to save lives, but it should not be passed on to those with impure intentions!"

Outside the door, Lu Jianguo and Li Xiulan leaned against the wall, their hearts still pounding wildly, unable to catch their breath for a long time.

Lu Jianguo lowered his voice, his face full of disbelief, and muttered to himself.

"My son...he...he really took the divine doctor Li Muren as his apprentice?"

Moreover, everything he casually scribbled on scrap paper was a priceless treasure!

Li Xiulan gripped his arm tightly, her eyes slightly dazed, nodding repeatedly.

I was filled with shock and pride, and I couldn't utter a word for a long time.
