Description
Zhao Dan was born with a hopeless fate. Untalented, poor; a worthless outer sect disciple with no future worth speaking of.
Then I woke up in his body, moments after his suicide.
This strange new world was filled with bloodthirsty beasts, and cultivators who were worse. There was only one thing I could do to stay sane, and it was what I did best—being a doctor.
After a spiritually defining oath to the heavens, and a near-death encounter with a serpentine spirit beast, I acquired the tools to do exactly that.
And the first problem reared its ugly head even sooner than I’d expected: a corrupt city lord and his insidious advisor.
Even after curing the ills that plagued Three River City, I discovered that the world itself was damaged beyond repair. Luckily, I knew a pretty great doctor....

- Master AioRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0This story is an engaging one, that isn't too focused on the death or glory aspect of Xianxia, and actually does have a medical focus. Other healer Xianxia stories tend to focus more on teh violence then the healing. While this story does have the obligitory fighting, it also has a strong emphasis on healing and being a better person. Is it perfect? Not quite. Is it readable? Definately. Will be following this story to see how it works out.
- Wo7fRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0With two books in this Xianxia novel has so much to offer. Covering so many aspects of this genre, its polished framework is set to take you on an epic adventure that rivals even the best on Amazon and Royal Road! (No sh*t).
join our enigmatic MC Zhao Dan and his talented sect, as sets out to do the impossible and heal a world all while battling evil and baddies. - jdawgplaysgames1Royal Road★★★★★ 4.5I'll start this late review with me problems with the story. The one being the falseish promises developed in the beginning with the MC's background as a doctor. While that does set up the healer arc nicely for obvious reasons, the method, you wouldn't think the MC, even in a new cruel world, would kill this much. However, everything else is well done and I'm proud to call this one of my first xianxias and an introduction into traditional cultivation as a whole.
- kmuRoyal Road★★★★ 3.5Started off really well then the explanation of everything started to getting longer and longer. I stopped reading it at ch 55 because instead of something different it started to be just like all the other books in this genre, the writer had something going that he or she lost track off I would have liked to keep going but I was skipping to many pages for that to happen
- xicsessRoyal Road★★★ 3.0it's not as bad as some of the negative reviews make it out to be. This has a little bit for everyone but nothing outstanding. The story begins well, there's an overpowered MC, but then it just devolves into politics and alchemy sequences with POV shifts to villains and others way too frequently. Was on board with the personal exploration of power and a wandering healer / fighter. The politics, long alchemy sequences, and inner monologue vs. spending any time interacting with people has become too tiresome.
- earthdrakeRoyal Road★★★ 3.0I expected something else.
Mc does what he wants with the favor of heaven because. That is basically the topic of the novel there is little else that matters. 2d to 2.5d characters, all the healing thing is important but is not that important either. The hipocratic oath? No, too troublesome let me kill things, let me live and fight and just be another mc in xianxia land.
To be honest the premise is interesting, the setup is cliched and the actual novel is mhe.
I have better things to read. - coldpyr0Royal Road★★★ 2.5It was originally promising but it becomes obvious that the only original part of the story is that the MC is a healer, because 'broken cultivation' MCs are a dime a dozen. He can't even stay a healer or do interesting new things, he's just tugged around to wherever the plot needs him to be, same as all the other brainless cultivators present in the story. The city lord is so laughably incompetent I am baffled as to how is he possibly still alive by the time the MC shows up.
- wathmanRoyal Road★★★ 2.5Overall it works as a passable cultivation story, though in this case it’s under delivering. As others have said, the description promises much with a unique pre-sekai in the form of a battlefield surgeon who is no stranger to combat. An oath that should hold him to a higher standard. And a supposedly debilitating trade off that the MC has to overcome. The oath amounts to a minor inconvenience as it does not curb his actions or tendencies. The trade off is moot since his damaged spirit roots play no part in his record breaking advancement. When he gets to the city, he is faced with opposition several levels above him, though he fixes the power disparity with a week long training spree. You would expect him to come back and curb stomp his main foe, but instead lets issues develop and fester until it interferes with his own business. He should have been much more proactive in helping himself and others. As for side characters, they eat up a lot of space in the story yet add little development. Little Cai probably has the most presence out of the supporting cast, yet still does not make sense as a mortal girl side kick. Some serious bad stuff happens to her hometown that should completely destroy a person, yet she has her OP MC so she’s just fine after a few days of sadness and anger.
My largest unmet expectation was the MC really not bringing any actual medical skills and very little knowledge from his previous life. It’s completely surpassed by his heavens granted healing ability, you could say it’s just as easy as turning one’s hand. He does mention that he wants to train Cai as a mortal healer and could possibly introduce the skills and knowledge, though it is just as likely Cai will have some kind of breakthrough and just focus on the handwavium healing the MC uses and just make MCs doctor background even more irrelevant.
What we are left with is a cultivation story that advances with healing, though there is just as much fighting as you would see in a typical cu - ImperialProcrastinatorRoyal Road★★ 2.04 chapters in and the whole oath business took a flying leap. The text is written without major issue but honestly with AI that just doesn't mean what it used to. The cultivation system itself didn't appeal much either tbh. No finesse but I did give up after 4 chapters so maybe it gets better. Even the first encounter of named characters doesn't make sense- running at cultivator pace for a day but somehow a mortal has made it up the mountain etc etc
- RonXRoyal Road★ 1.0I tried hard to find something positive here, but failed. The MC does not behave like a intelligent Person would. Maybe that’s intended? I don’t know. The infuriating parts are his justifications. Every time the MC acts brainless, the arguments to try making it seem correct are so weak, even a drunk would be able to point out the flaws.
