Under Zhou Jiande's watchful gaze, Lu Xuan accepted the money.
Seeing Lu Xuan take the money, Zhou Jiande didn't say much, but then turned with a serious expression and looked at Lu Xuan: "Dr. Lu, to be honest, I can't simply profit from your research achievements without offering something in return. If you don't mind, I, Zhou Jiande, would like to become your apprentice from today and learn the art of acupuncture from you."

Lu Xuan thought he misheard and laughed, "Elder Zhou, please don't joke with me. You learn acupuncture from me? It would be more fitting if I learned from you. I've been learning acupuncture for less than ten days, what could I possibly teach you!
The only reason I came in was to make your acquaintance, so that I could seek your guidance in the future when I encounter difficulties. But here you are, saying these things to belittle me?"
"Dr. Lu, I'm not joking with you."
