The Village Doctor: A Dry Well Connected to the Cultivation World

After failing the graduate school entrance exam for the second time and hitting a wall in more than a hundred job applications, Chen Feichang returns to his impoverished mountain village. The whole village points fingers at him, saying his studies have made him stupid.

When he falls into a well while trying to escape debt collectors, he discovers that the other end of his family's dry well connects to a cultivation realm overflowing with magical herbs.

He waters vegetables with spiritual spring water, and they grow like crazy. One bite of their fresh, sweet produce leaves the whole village speechless.

Half a bottle of iodine disinfectant buys him a cultivation technique; one box of cephalosporin buys a century-old spirit herb. Cultivators from the other world scramble for cold medicine as if it were a miracle cure. What others see as junk becomes hard currency once it passes through the well.

A single silver needle can bring the dead back to life and restore flesh to bone. He cures with three needles even the terminal illnesses that Western medicine has given up on.

A local bully tries to push people around, and Chen gives him a face-slapping lesson. A financial conglomerate tries to force down prices, and he kicks them out. An old aristocratic family tries to recruit him, but he just smiles and shakes his head.

Treating the sick, growing vegetables, and trading goods between the two worlds, he quietly leads the villagers to wealth and turns their poor mountain village into the greatest village in all the realms.

But Chen Feichang never expected that a calamity sweeping across both worlds was quietly drawing near on the other side of the well. And he, the village doctor caught between the two worlds, would become the only one capable of turning the tide.

A dry well connects the mortal world and the realm of immortals; a compassionate heart can set the world to rights.
