The Apothecary's Way

Lu Yuan, a pharmacist at the city hospital's pharmacy department, had worked there for ten years, as ordinary as could be. Until one night, the old traditional Chinese medicine cabinet that had been in use for over twenty years began to breathe. The drawers slid open on their own, and the herbs emitted a rainbow of light. He grabbed three herbs and rushed into the emergency room, pulling a patient back from the brink of death when Western medicine couldn't stop the bleeding. The next day, a yellowed old prescription appeared in his pocket. 'The cabinet has a spirit, choosing its master. Since you've seen this prescription, it's fate.' The signature was that of an old pharmacist who had been missing for three days—Zhang Dehou. What Lu Yuan didn't know was that this cabinet had been passed down through three generations, and each master was no ordinary person. And he—was the fourth. From then on, patients seeking his help lined up at the hospital's main gate. And a man in a gray jacket also came looking for him. — Description from novelcodex.org
