107 Strange Black Worm
"Finally, I'm back..."
Lu Changsheng returned to the courtyard of Miaoshou Garden.
This trip to Yancheng yielded considerable results.
Just the Four-Eyed Toad's treasure alone significantly strengthened his abilities.
After resting at home for a day, he got up early the next day and headed towards Miaoren Hall as usual.
On the way, he saw many apprentices and pharmacists within Miaoshou Garden, all seemingly in good spirits.
"Good morning, Doctor Lu."
"Is Doctor Lu going to Miaoren Hall?"
"Good morning, Master Lu."
Walking on the street, surprisingly, many people greeted him.
This made Lu Changsheng keenly feel his current changes.
He had only been at Miaoshou Garden for two years.
However, in these two years, he had transformed from an unknown apprentice into a somewhat famous physician.
These people recognized him because he now had some fame, with excellent medical skills, inheriting Wu Jingzhen's teachings.
After all, even if you offend someone, you can't offend a physician.
"Even if I don't practice martial arts, my medical skills alone are enough to support myself."
"But in these chaotic times, strength is still the most important."
Lu Changsheng thought to himself.
Soon, Lu Changsheng arrived at Miaoren Hall.
Zhang Huan's eyes lit up, and he quickly brewed a pot of tea when he saw Lu Changsheng.
"Doctor Lu, you're finally back."
"Next door, Aunt Zhang has been asking about you for several days."
Zhang Huan said with a smile.
"Aunt Zhang, is she feeling unwell again?"
"No worries, tell her to come over; I'll take a look at her."
Lu Changsheng did know Aunt Zhang.
Because of his expertise in "gynecology," he had gained quite a few regular customers or old patients.
Aunt Zhang was one of them.
Soon, Aunt Zhang arrived.
"Hey, Doctor Lu, you finally came back. I don't know who to turn to for my old ailment."
Aunt Zhang wore a smile on her face.
Lu Changsheng checked her pulse and inquired about her condition. Finding nothing major, he prescribed a remedy.
Aunt Zhang, holding the prescription, seemed somewhat hesitant.
"What's the matter, Aunt Zhang? Do you have something else on your mind?"
Lu Changsheng asked.
Aunt Zhang smiled and whispered, "Doctor Lu, I heard you're not a local?"
In fact, many people knew about Lu Changsheng's background.
So, Lu Changsheng nodded and said, "I grew up wandering, and I can't really remember where I'm from."
"Later, I became an apprentice at Miaoshou Garden, and then gradually became a physician. Aunt Zhang, if you have something to say, just say it."
Aunt Zhang smiled and said, "Alright, I'll be direct. I have a distant relative who recently moved to Nanyang City to engage in some business."
"Their daughter is educated, virtuous, and capable, especially with a beautiful appearance. Since they are new to the city and unfamiliar with the surroundings, they asked me to find a good match for their daughter."
"I thought Doctor Lu would be a good fit. Although you don't have a distinguished background, you are down-to-earth, clever, and now a physician at Miaoshou Garden. Moreover, Doctor Wu Jing recognized you as his disciple. I believe my distant relatives would be willing."
"So, I'm thinking of asking for Doctor Lu's opinion. As long as Doctor Lu agrees, I guarantee this matter will be settled for you!"
Lu Changsheng was a bit surprised.
Was Aunt Zhang here to arrange a marriage for him?
Thinking about it, in this world, it was quite normal for someone of Lu Changsheng's age to get married. Although he was an orphan, he had become a well-known physician with both wealth and a career. In Nanyang City, these conditions were quite good.
If it weren't for his lack of parents and family, there might have been matchmakers coming to his door a long time ago.
"Thanks, Aunt Zhang, but I'm still young, no hurry," Lu Changsheng shook his head and declined.
He hadn't even considered such matters.
Actually, if he were to marry, it wouldn't be an ordinary woman. Despite being a physician on the surface, he was, in reality, a martial artist in the Divine Power Realm.
Not to mention the troubles that could arise from conflicts in the martial world, just the fact that his body was different from ordinary people posed challenges.
If he were to form a union forcibly, he would have to be extremely cautious at all times. Carelessness could be fatal.
If Lu Changsheng were to consider marriage, he would need to find a martial artist, preferably someone in the Divine Power Realm or above.
"Why not take some time to think it over, Doctor Lu? My relative's family is not in a rush. If you decide, feel free to come find me anytime."
With that, Aunt Zhang left after preparing the medicine.
Lu Changsheng returned to Nanyang City and enjoyed some peaceful days.
In the blink of an eye, a month passed.
One day, Lu Changsheng was practicing the Dragon Transformation technique using ancient rock resin.
"Hum."
In the next moment, Lu Changsheng felt a profound sense of joy and activated the Dragon Transformation technique.
His body immediately trembled, and this time, the tremor was quite intense.
His Qi and blood surged twofold!
"Swoosh."
Lu Changsheng opened his eyes.
He immediately halted the internal changes and didn't continue further.
"Dragon Transformation, second stage, is finally mastered!"
Lu Changsheng had finally achieved the second stage of the Dragon Transformation technique.
This Dragon Transformation could amplify his physical body twofold!
This was a comprehensive enhancement, boosting all aspects such as strength, defense, and more. For strength alone, Lu Changsheng, who was at forty units, could soar to eighty units when performing the Dragon Transformation.
Lu Changsheng quickly accessed the attribute panel to check his body's condition.
