Lin Yi, an intern at the provincial hospital of traditional Chinese medicine, had only average talent and was all thumbs in the emergency room. What he had learned at school seemed worthless in the face of clinical practice. Then, in an old book left behind by his grandfather, he unexpectedly activated the Green Satchel Celestial Evolution System.
From then on, he could see the body's aura, sense the properties and effects of medicinal herbs, and peer into blockages and flows along the meridians. But he soon discovered that the System was no cheat, but a battlefield. A misdiagnosis caused a patient to hemorrhage, nearly costing them their life. The difficult cases he took in were unpredictable, leaving even renowned doctors helpless. A fragmentary ancient prescription, the Meridian-Restoring Elixir, required him to complete it with his blood and sweat.
There was no peerless medical skill descending from the heavens, only the dissection table in the dead of night, the medicine cabinet before which his tongue went numb, and morning meetings where the department director berated him in front of everyone. When a leading master of traditional Chinese medicine accepted him as a disciple despite the usual rules, Lin Yi knew this was not the beginning of glory, but the true start of a grueling journey in the art of medicine.
From technique to the Way, from the Way to the heavens. He still had a long road ahead.
