The Observatory Master continued, "No one in our temple knows how to use these medicines, so they are useless to us. Yesterday, I saw that you are quite skilled in medicine, Benefactor. Please accept these as a token of our gratitude."
Lu Yuan didn't stand on ceremony or refuse. He said, "Thank you for the gift, Observatory Master. In that case, I'll accept it."
The Observatory Master took out two medals from his robes. One was a Bronze Medal, which Lu Yuan had seen before—it was identical to the one Daoist Longchuan had been fiddling with the other day. The other was a square gold medal that looked exceptionally dazzling in the brightly lit hall.
Seeing this, all the Daoists sitting in the hall rose to their feet, their expressions turning serious.
Lu Yuan saw this and wasn't sure if he should stand or remain seated. 'Since the Observatory Master is still sitting, I guess I'll just stay put.'
