Chapter 1 – System recognizes host

Gu Zuo hugged a bag of vegetables as he trotted home.
His family's house wasn't near; it would take another 10 minutes before he reached home.

His heart was a bit anxious.
His dad should be waiting at home for quite a while now, he wouldn't eat without Gu Zuo and his stomach wasn't any good, to begin with.
Right now his father wasn't around so he could only take care of his dad… [1]

Thinking of this, Gu Zuo sped up.

But just as he began to cross the road, an extremely fast truck swerved into the intersection.
The driver was clearly drunk out of his mind!

Shocked, Gu Zuo quickly dodged backward but there wasn't enough time and the truck was upon him.
He only felt a sharp pain before his vision went black, whatever happened afterward, he wasn't aware.

Before losing consciousness Gu Zuo failed to notice a strange twinkling object that entered his body through his brows.
As the twinkling object entered Gu Zuo, his body disappeared into thin air.

At the same moment, another body replaced him and was crushed under the oncoming truck.

Soon a crowd gathered around the scene…

Gu Zuo's body crashed to the ground and he frowned from the pain.
However, he was still quite thankful for the pain.
Whatever the outcome may be, at least he still had his life after colliding with the truck, right?

Patting the dust on his bottom he bounced back up.
As he looked around for the bag of groceries he had carelessly dropped, he was stunned by the scene around him.

Carved wooden window and antique furniture…what was this place?

Gu Zuo felt anything but rea.s.sured.
He had just been hit, but hit by what? There was nothing that could hit him in this room!

Then as he looked around, he found a young man lying on a bed to the side.

Gu Zuo immediately walked over to ask about his current situation.

His heart was feeling a bit weak; the man's appearance as he slept rubbed Gu Zuo wrong somehow… As soon as he reached the bed, looking at the man's appearance, he froze on the spot.

Who was this person… why did he look exactly like him?!

The person on the bed was a teenager.
His face was extremely pale and eerily still like a pool of stagnant water.

Gu Zuo's face went pale as well.

This man, he shouldn't be dead, right?

Composing himself, Gu Zuo gathered all his courage and reached out to wave his finger under the juvenile's nose.
Immediately his entire body weakened—he really is dead ah! If someone entered the room now, he wouldn't be able to explain this situation even if he had ten thousand mouths! Moreover, he had come upon a dead body that had his face, it felt like he was looking at his own corpse!

Gu Zuo immediately retreated a few steps.
He walked over to the window and looked outside to see a relatively remote little courtyard without any people, but further away he could still see some people flickering by.

In a split second his mood had become even more complicated.

According to his exceptional vision, those flashing silhouettes were clearly wearing ancient costumes!

So to say…

Gu Zuo was reluctant to believe it himself, but he had come up with a shocking guess.

When he was.
.h.i.t by the truck, he had crashed into ancient times! Everything had happened too fast.
His dad was probably still waiting for him back home; he really wasn't in the mood to play time travel!

Thinking about his interdependent dad he couldn't help but think about how sad he would be when he found his son missing.
His heart felt worse.
[2]

It shouldn't be like this… Wasn't he just asked to process some drug ingredients today at the Huichun Hall? How could this happen to him? Dazed, Gu Zuo collapsed onto a stool.
Even breaking his bones after hitting the truck would have been better than this….

Wait a minute.

Gu Zuo's face paled further.

He was.
.h.i.t.

Yes, he remembered that he was clearly hit by the truck.
He felt an intense pain, but now his body, apart from a little numbness, was practically unscathed.
This isn't scientific!

It couldn't be… did he pa.s.s over because of magic powers?

Gu Zuo couldn't make sense of anything.
With his chaotic mind, he was at a loss at what to do.

The body on the bed that looked like him, was it a coincidence or was it deliberate? Was it like those novels where he was supposed to take over the body's ident.i.ty?

At this time, suddenly a line of text flashed inside Gu Zuo's head.

【Medicine Refining System says h.e.l.lo to the host.
Will the host allow the system to bond with host?】

Gu Zuo stared blankly.

System? What system? What was this thing inside his head?

Another line flashed.

【After recognizing a host, Medicine Refining System will help them become a master medicine refiner.
The system program is currently is in host's mind s.p.a.ce, but it is not yet activated.
When host was faced with imminent death, the system directly moved the host to Cang Yun country located on Tian Wu continent and restored the health of host's body.
Will the host allow the system to bond with host? [3]】

Gu Zuo was a bit confused.

He kneaded his fingers to calm down as much as he could before he proceeded to talk to the thing in his head.

He thought in his mind the questions he wanted to ask: How do you recognize a host and what do I obtain if I become your host? Can I still go back home? And what if I don't accept you?

【After bonding with host, the system will provide a step by step methods on how to refine medicine.
Host will then complete corresponding tasks and gradually become the world's most remarkable apothecary.
If host works hard enough, you can return back to your home with your own strength.
In the case that host chooses to bond, host will only need to consent, everything else will be taken care of by the system.
In the case that host chooses not to bond, system will automatically separate itself, host will then have to survive alone.】

Gu Zuo stared blankly again.

The consequences for declining the system weren't very clear-cut.
Who knows what would happen if he had to survive in this place by himself…

Although he didn't know what kind of thing this Medicine Refining System was, he did know that it had the power to transport him through time and s.p.a.ce and it claimed to have the power to turn him into an expert.
It could serve as a golden finger… naturally, he had to accept!

However, G
