Duncan nodded and said, “You have a condition called damp–heat accumulation. That’s why you are experiencing bloating in your lower abdomen and difficulty urinating. It’s not a serious issue. I’ll prescribe you Eight Cavio Powder to alleviate your symptoms.”
“Thank you, Mr. Rodriguez.”
While Duncan was writing the prescription, Emrys had just finished administering acupuncture to another patient. When the latter saw the prescription, he suggested, “You can also include two herbs known for their lung–clearing properties, such as platycodon and almond.”
“Who is this apprentice? How dare you question Mr. Rodriguez’s prescription?” Roger bellowed.
His outburst drew curious gazes from the other patients in the vicinity.
Duncan’s expression turned solemn, and he said tersely, “Mr. Balford, please show respect to my esteemed teacher!”
“Your teacher?” Roger was taken aback by his response.
The surrounding patients couldn’t help but mock, “How dare you say Dr. Lund is an apprentice? Sir, are you out of your mind?”
“Haha, he must be an outsider. Who in Jadeborough doesn’t know that the miracle doctor, Dr. Lund is Mr. Rodriguez’s teacher? You should consider yourself lucky to receive guidance from Dr. Lund!”
Another patient commented, “That’s right! We hardly ever get to see Dr. Lund in person. Today is a rare occasion. How dare you call him an apprentice? It’s truly laughable.”
Roger was dumbfounded when he listened to the mocking from the other patients.
Miracle doctor? Dr. Lund is Mr. Rodriguez’s teacher? Are they serious?
He had assumed Duncan’s teacher would be an elderly and highly respected figure. To his surprise, it was an incredibly young man!
However, when he saw Duncan’s solemn expression, he knew that the patients were not joking. He quickly stood up and apologized, “I’m sorry, Dr. Lund. I didn’t know your identity; I shouldn’t have offended you.”
Luckily, Emrys casually waved his hand and said, “No harm done. You weren’t aware of my identity.”
Røger finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Duncan then asked Emrys earnestly, “Is there any specific reason for your suggestion to add lung- clearing herbs to the Eight Cavio Powder?”

The latter nodded and explained, “It’s called the ‘Lifting the Lid‘ method.”
“Lifting the Lid?“
“Yes. The human b*dy is like a teapot. If you tilt it slightly, the tea will pour out. But if you want the tea to pour out faster, you just need to lift the lid.”
“I understand.” Duncan slapped his forehead and continued, “The lungs are positioned above all the other organs in the b*dy, much like the lid of a teapot. By utilizing the lung–clearing ingredients, it’s as if we’re lifting the lid, thereby enhancing the diuretic effect.”
“This is brilliant! Why didn’t I think of this method before? You’re truly remarkable, Master Lund,” Duncan exclaimed, his eyes gleaming with admiration for Emrys.
He had initially believed that his teacher’s expertise was limited to acupuncture, but now he realized that Emrys possessed an equally impressive knowledge of pharmacology.
At that moment, Duncan felt an overwhelming urge to call his teacher a genius and kneel before him to express his profound respect.
Emrys smiled and replied, “You’re a fast learner, Mr. Rodriguez. I simply offered a suggestion, yet you managed to grasp the concept so quickly.”
“It’s all thanks to your guidance.”
“No, it’s your own remarkable insight.”
“Of course not! You taught me well, Master Lund.”
Roger watched in astonishment as the duo engaged in a reciprocal exchange of admiration.
What an odd teacher–student dynamic! Have you both no sense of shame?
After receiving the medicine, Roger handed a gold–plated business card to Emrys and said, “Dr. Lund, I was ignorant and offended you earlier. This is my business card. If you ever visit Summerbank, please feel free to visit me. I will treat you well.”
Emrys took the business card and carefully examined Roger’s face. He then said, “Normally, I wouldn’t meddle with other’s affairs. However, since you are so sincere, allow me to offer a word of advice. Pay close attention to those around you in the near future.”
