The next day was Rest and Bathing.
Lu Chang'sheng finished practicing Flood Stake in the courtyard and went to knock on the door alone.
Soon after, he saw the visitor.
An old man whose hair and beard were all white, dressed in coarse cloth, face covered in age spots—it was clear life hadn't given him many good days.
This man was called Wu Ji Yong, a country doctor introduced by Liang Yun.
Country doctors had no background or lineage—everything was learned by trial and error. If they picked up some genuine skills, it was all down to fate and their own insight.
Ultimately, every craft in this world keeps its gate, making it incredibly hard for those at the bottom to step through.
"Little master, my skills aren't all that great. If you learn from me, you might just be wasting your time!" Wu Ji Yong said.
"It's no problem! Over by West Gate, Doctor Wu, you've saved so many lives. There's no way your skills are lacking."
