Chapter 1 The Rebirth of the Emperor (1/2)
Midnight, in the interns' dormitory of the Jiangnan Hospital in the Jiangnan City.
A young man suddenly sat up from a sound sleep, and when he looked around, he was rocked inside out.
”Am... I on the earth? Wasn't I taking a Heavenly Test? Why am I here? Could it be that I come back?”
The man was named Tang Long, also known as Emperor Green Wood, one of the five emperors in the Cultivation World. He died of being struck by Thunder of Nine Heavens when taking the Heavenly test, and nothing of him was left.
To his surprise, he was reborn on earth. Though he had always been a cynic and taken his life as a game, he was wild with joy that he could go back to the earth.
Before he was brought to the Cultivation World by Yimu Zhenren for the nature of his body was wood, he was an unsuccessful worker on the earth.
During the last five hundred years, relying on his amazing talent, he had managed to become one of the five emperors in the Cultivation World, however, he still missed earth very much and wanted to come back just that he could not find the way. He had never thought that a part of his Spirit would come back to the earth after he failed to pass the Heavenly Test, which achieved his dream.
”Wait, as only a part of my broken Spirit survived, where did I get this flesh?”
Tang Long closed his eyes slowly, and a moment later, he finally understood what had happened.
Under the strikes of the Thunder of Nine Heavens, a part of his Spirit had broken through the void and made it to the earth. It later merged into this flesh unconsciously. However, as Emperor Green Wood, his Spirit was so strong that even its broken part was a hundred times more powerful than that of a human being. After they merged into one, his Spirit took control of this flesh and became its new owner.
Tang Long could not help but sigh over the twist of his fate. His survival was of little probability but he did it. What happened had happened, so, he could only say sorry to the original owner of this flesh and accomplish what the owner had not achieved.
The soul of the owner did not disappear but merged into Tang Long's. The owner's memory was reserved completely.
The owner was named Qin Haodong, an orphan, and was adopted by a traditional Chinese doctor. Now, he was a senior student of the Jiangnan University School of Medicine and worked as an intern in the hospital on vacation.
Being brought up by a traditional Chinese doctor, his biggest wish was to find his biological parents and carry traditional Chinese medicine forward.
”Carry traditional Chinese medicine forward? Easy!”
Tang Long was the best expert in the medicine in the Cultivation World, and the Eternal-Life-Obtaining Green Wood he practiced had been enhanced during his curing people. However, finding Qin Haodong's biological parents would be a long course, which would totally rely on an opportunity.
From this moment on, the Emperor Green Wood, Tang Long, would start a new life as Qin Haodong.
”By the way, which year is it now?”
Tang Long's Spirit had traveled here through the void, so, he had no idea which year it was now. He took up an old Dami phone on his bed and checked the time. It showed July 2nd, 74 Huaxia Calendar.
When he was brought to the Cultivation World by Yimu Zhenren, it was January 1st, 70 Huaxia Calendar and was barely five years ago.
He was a masterful figure in the Cultivation World, so, even he was reborn on the earth; he had to be powerful as well. Since he had lost all his cultivation and treasures, he had to start from zero and take his time to cultivate.
Thinking of this, Qin Haodong sat down on his bed with his legs crossed, starting to practice Eternal-Life-Obtaining Green Wood. After a long while, he let out a mouthful of turbid air, and his eyes sparkled.
”There is too few Spiritual Qi on the earth. Based on my current Spirit, I could only cultivate to the middle stage of the Qi-refining Realm at a time and could barely finish establishing my Foundation.”
Qin Haodong shook his head. He had no other choice but to be patient.
Right then, the Dami phone beside him rang out. He checked the call and found it from the chief doctor Ma Guoqiang.
Ma Guoqiang was notorious in the hospital for his greed and lechery. Last day, he tried to make a pass at a female intern, which was interrupted by Qin Haodong. Therefore, Qin Haodong could tell that there was nothing good behind this call.
Despite of this, Qin Haodong still answered the phone. Ma Guoqiang's hoarse voice immediately came to him. ”Little Qin, the Emergency Department is short-handed tonight. We need you to work overtime.”
Qin Haodong replied at once, ”Doctor Ma, I just have worked for two days. It's time for me to have a rest.”
”As a young man, it's no big deal for you to have more work. You have to deserve the internship we offer to you. I'll give you good remarks on your report.”
After saying this, Ma Guoqiang hung up the phone.
Qin Haodong understood that this dirty man was trying to make trouble for him. By mentioning his report, this man also tried to threaten him.
However, Qin Haodong had to obey Ma Guoqiang as he would have to get his internship report from him. Moreover, he had decided to develop traditional Chinese medicine, thus, he could not leave a stain on his career just as he had taken over this flesh. He got up, changed his clothes, and went to the emergency room.
After Ma Guoqiang hanging up the phone, a cold smile appeared on his fat face. He had had his eyes on that female intern from long ago, and it had been really hard for him to find that chance to do what he wanted. However, Qin Haodong ruined it, which pissed him off.
If Qin Haodong was someone with a background, he would let the matter down, but, Qin Haodong was just a poor and support-less student. Tonight, he was on duty. He had to take the chance to teach this reckless intern a lesson, telling him whom he should never piss off in Jiangnan Hospital.
Qin Haodong got busy after he entered the Emergency Department, which would receive the most patients in the hospital. What was more, Ma Guoqiang made things difficult for him on purpose by leaving everything to him. He even had to do a nurse's work.
Seeing that Qin Haodong was up to his ears in work, Ma Guoqiang was quite complacent. He walked to Qin Haodong, belly up, and said with a cold smile, ”Never forget that you're an intern here. You're not experienced and don't have good skills, so, it's fair for you to do more menial works.”
Qin Haodong glanced at him indifferently. In fact, those works were nothing difficult for him, and instead, he treated them as a kind of cultivation.
”So, Doctor Ma, your skills are pretty good, right?”
