Chapter 2 The Ancient Scroll

Just as he was flipping through a few pages, Jacob's phone rang. It was his girlfriend, Mia.

Jacob smiled and picked up the phone. "Mia, have you not gone to bed?"

Mia's cold voice came from the phone. "Jacob, let's break up."

Break up? Jacob was stunned.

"Why?" He almost roared.

"Why? How dare you ask me why? The news that you have been sent to transfusion centre by the management has spread all around! You’re going to be the first and the only male nurse in the General Hospital – what a shame!"

Her cold voice broke his heart.

But he still wanted to keep her. "Mia, I will try my best. Give me a chance to prove myself, okay?"

"Prove yourself? How can you prove yourself? Do you know how much the necklace Noah Sun gave is worth? You won’t be able to achieve that if you work as a nurse in the hospital eternally! Forget it, I’ve have made this clear. Jacob, break up! Don't contact me anymore!"

The moment Mia hung up the phone, Jacob heard her mutter, "A b*stard who doesn't even know who his father is. What future can he have..."

Jacob felt as if he was struck by lightning. His phone was still by his ear, and his brain went blank for a moment.

He had been living in a single-parent household since he was a child. His mother worked in a supermarket, and living conditions had been difficult.

As for Mia, Jacob did not hide his family background from her. He regarded her as the most important person in his life and was completely honest in front of her.

He did not expect that these reasons had caused her to look down on him.

He punched the table angrily and exclaimed, "Why, why did you do this to me..."

His fist fell on a tea cup on the table. With a loud smash, the tea cup shattered into pieces.

Blood flowed from his fist, converging into a stream, slowly flowing onto the ancient scroll on the table.

The scroll emitted a pale green light and shot towards Jacob’s head.

Jacob felt a buzz in his head, then a pain, as if his head was split open.

With a cry of pain, he clutched his head and rolled on the ground. The pain in his head was only getting worse and worse. It became so unbearable that he almost wanted to die.

In the end, his vision went black and he lost consciousness.

It was all a blur, and he came to in a mysterious space. He could not see anything in the dark. Suddenly, a priest in a blue Taoist robe appeared in front of him.

The priest held a needle in one hand and a sword in the other and said to him, "From now on, you will be my successor. You have inherited my medical skills and magical abilities. Remember as you continue to live on in this world, you shall be all the good that saves the world from pain, sickness, poverty, and every human from their sins."

After the Taoist priest finished his words, he slowly disappeared in front of Jacob. Immediately, huge amounts of information began to fill Jacob's mind.

The knowledge of medicine, the formula of cultivation, and all the priest’s medical experiences before his death, flooded into Jacob’s mind.

The amount of new memories was so great that Jacob could hardly hold on to them in his mind. In the end, he lost consciousness and fainted.

Jacob didn't know how long it took before he woke up from his coma.

He rubbed his dizzy head, struggled to get up, and sat down at the table.

There were too many things pouring into his mind. There were many long-lost medical and acupuncture methods, and even talisman medical methods, exorcism spells, and geomancy magical skills...

After sitting for more than an hour, Jacob attempted to recall what he could remember. He suddenly felt that he had suffered too many impacts the previous day and his mind was in a mess.

He slowly adjusted his chi-circulation according to the Haoran Special Power in his memory.

A small airflow slowly flowed through his whole body and his dizzy head immediately sobered up. Only then could he confirm that what had happened was all true.

He calmed himself down and started to practice the skills slowly according to the method of Haoran described in the ancient scroll.

Before he knew it, the sky had turned bright.

After a night of meditation, he felt refreshed and much better than usual. He was very delighted and forgot all the unhappy things that happened the previous day.

On his way to work, Jacob made up his mind that he must make good use of the inheritance he received, to better the world.

There were all kinds of nurses in the transfusion centre. It was summer, and the nurses wore short, pale pink, nurse robes, revealing their calves wrapped in various colours of stockings and partially, their pale and tender thighs. Jacob couldn't help but swallow nervously.

A sea of pretty women, irresistibly seductive uniforms...

Jacob suddenly felt that this place was not as bad as he thought.

In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.

After Jacob had helped a young nurse clean up the transfusion centre, it was already dark.

"Jacob, thank you for your help," Lilian was very sympathetic to what Jacob had experienced there. Although Jacob did not say anything, everyone knew that it wasn’t easy for an intern to be assigned to a nursing job.

Jacob waved his hand and said, "It’s nothing, it's my duty after all."

They went out of the transfusion centre together.

Beside the transfusion centre was the Emergency Department. As soon as they walked towards the front doors, a car suddenly stopped in front of them.

A well-dressed young man hurriedly jumped out of the car, opened the back door, and another two men carefully carried a young man covered in blood from the car.

Seeing the injured young man, Jacob was startled. He saw could feel the young man’s life force slowly ceasing.

Now that Jacob had inherited the mysterious Taoist priest’s advanced medical skills, he could diagnose most diseases at first glance. If a person was full of Yin Chi while his life Chi was reduced, it meant that he was dying.
