Chapter 1, perhaps it was a miscast of the spell

This left him somewhat confused about his current situation, almost prompting him to ask the three existential questions: 'Who am I, where am I, and what should I do'

The doctor could have pulled through, but previously he not only overextended his physical health but more seriously overextended his mental well-being

Then, around the age of thirty, one would either continue to seek a position within the sect or return to their hometown to carve out their own path

Had it been before experiencing the 'First Life Dream', the little Taoist boy Su Li, who had not seen much of the world, would likely have agreed.

Suddenly, he felt a jolt throughout his body, and the scene before him soared infinitely upward

He exerted all his strength to open his eyes, managing to put on a forced smile, hoping to bring them at least a little comfort

After all, in his past life within the dream, he had received quite a number of scam calls

As soon as the broken ring was mentioned, it fell into silence. Su Li had no idea that within the ring, the red elder was muttering to himself in a state of existential doubt: What exactly went wrong?

The doctor has been in the operating room for three days and three nights, not to save a single patient, but to continuously perform surgeries, completing surgical procedures for more than ten different patients in one go

Just call me Chi Lao, how about it, can we continue? Chi Lao seemed somewhat anxious as he urged Su Li to proceed with the second life dream.

At the age of twelve, one will be uniformly taught a fundamental method of Qi cultivation and breathing techniques. If one achieves success, then at the age of sixteen, they may transition to the outer sect to learn skills.

This eagerness to offer benefits, could it be that Chi Lao is also a fraudster

In this place, the young individuals serving as Taoist disciples are generally those whose qualifications have been assessed and found to be average; they can cultivate but typically will not achieve significant success. However, this is ultimately still an opportunity to become an 'immortal', is it not

Moreover, what is most urgent for me now is that tomorrow a senior uncle from the inner sect will come to select companions for the trials of the mortal world. This is a very important opportunity for me that I must seize, so I need to adjust my state and prepare well.

Initially thinking that a brief rest was possible, the doctor did not expect to find himself lying directly on the hospital bed. Even more unexpectedly, his condition deteriorated significantly, and before long, he was admitted to the intensive care unit

Essentially, the fate of all Taoist disciples is like this

How infuriating, at this moment he has regarded those gentle and charming little Taoist nuns as the greatest enemies of his life

In the midst of wandering, all sounds fall silent as darkness descends, and the doctor's will becomes oblivious to everything

However, for some unknown reason, the old man suddenly emerged from the broken ring that I casually picked up, and he appeared very excited and full of longing

Thus, after falling ill, he was always in a state of drowsiness and confusion, and even when he experienced difficulty breathing and had to undergo intubation, he did not awaken

Based on past experience, regardless of whether the inner disciples are male or female, they always prefer to find a beautiful and charming young Taoist nun as their companion

Regarding Su Li, who suddenly became very opinionated, the red elder in the ring fell silent for a moment, then seemed to say with a hint of reluctance and uncertainty:

His consciousness entered a state of cold numbness, seemingly chaotic. In an instant, the ancient world of clarity and turbidity, black and white, appeared before his eyes, while the vastness of heaven and earth, the bright sun, and the fine dust seemed to reside within his heart

Moreover, if their temperaments truly align and the inner disciples are willing to speak on his behalf, then he can completely enter the mountain gate for cultivation in the capacity of that disciple's attendant

"Young man, it seems you have already experienced your first life. How does it feel?" A frail voice suddenly emanated from the worn ring in Su Li's hand, resembling that of a kind old grandfather.

Yet that feeling was so real that he almost believed he was indeed that kind-hearted physician, possessing a special talent but being honest and straightforward.

He seemed to have suddenly passed through the walls of the hospital and arrived high above, overlooking the earth

Just as he was about to return home to reunite with his wife and children after finally treating the last patient, he suddenly felt dizzy and collapsed beside the operating table. The doctor managed to treat seventeen patients in one go, yet he ended up exhausting his own body.

After experiencing that 'First Life', Su Li felt that this 'plot' was quite clichéd... He clearly remembered having read many novels with similar storylines in the 'First Life'.

However, if one can become a companion for the inner disciples on their travels, it is a rare opportunity to escape such a predetermined fate

... ...

Before the age of twelve, a Taoist disciple generally only engages in menial tasks, which can also be described as a means of honing the mind

Certainly, for the young Taoist disciple Su Li, if he wishes to be selected by the inner sect disciples, his greatest competitor at this moment is not the other disciples who usually love to oppose him...

Even though the doctor's skills are proficient, he has been working continuously for seventy-two hours, with no more than five hours of rest during this period, and both his mental and physical strength have reached their limits

He seemed to be trapped in an endless nightmare, with the earnest and sorrowful calls of his wife and children echoing in his ears, yet he remained powerless to open his eyes

"Um, thank you, grandfather. I haven't asked how to address you yet?" Su Li took a moment to calm himself, but the intertwining memories from the previous dream still left him feeling somewhat dazed

No matter how different he may be, his body can no longer allow this to continue.

No, my current state is not very good. The experiences from my first life have already provided me with invaluable insights. I need to wait until I have fully digested what I have gained.

However, he now calmly reflected on his current situation and the urgent matters at hand, and thus slowly shook his head and said

Su Li had a nightmare, feeling dazed and completely unaware of how an eight-year-old novice could dream of becoming an unfortunate middle-aged man

He was sent to the mountain as a Taoist boy from a young age to help his family with tax deductions, and since the age of five, he has been learning to perform various chores on the renowned Tianlie Mountain in Shenzhou.

For the young disciples, this can be considered a significant achievement in gaining entry into the inner circle and standing out

It is unclear which patient was carrying the pathogen; under the circumstances where the doctor had been working late nights and his body was weakened to the limit, the virus invaded the doctor's immune system almost without obstruction, leading to a severe pneumonia infection.

It seems to be effective; your temperament is clearly much more composed than before, " said the old man in the ring in a voice that seemed to express satisfaction.

He seemed to understand something, as the restlessness and unwillingness in his heart began to be gradually extracted, and he looked towards the eastern horizon where the red sun had just risen with a gradually calming mindset

Oh, how real it is. Su Li finally came to his senses and remembered that he had accidentally activated the hidden soul within this ring earlier... Then the old man in the ring said that he needed to experience three lifetimes to forge his Dao heart

The eight-year-old novice monk gazed hesitantly at the broken ring in his hand, his originally simple thoughts now becoming somewhat profound

This is fine as well, you need to organize your gains by yourself first... I am a bit tired from casting spells for you just now, so you don't need to come and disturb me today.

The life experiences of the middle-aged man have instilled in him a certain wariness towards such sudden strokes of good fortune

Joy, anger, happiness, and sorrow are all experiences of this body, which gradually fade away and transform into a sentiment of the following day

Su Li's little mind was thinking of very rude things, but soon he also considered how he could become the companion of the inner sect disciple going on the outing tomorrow

There is no way around it; a particularly serious accident has just occurred nearby. If he were to move a little slower or take a moment to rest, it could potentially cost a life!

but those detestable little Taoist nuns

If he can win the favor of the inner disciples, just the guidance he could receive in his cultivation would be immensely beneficial
