Chapter 259 Banquet at Hongmen
In that night, Ning Tao tried more than one dozen different rune combinations, but not one of them succeeded. The plucking talisman with the erroneous rune was a mere coincidence. One could almost say its error was one in a million—like that rotten apple which happened to fall on Newton's head.
After busying himself for a night, Ning Tao came to a conclusion.
A scrambled rune combination turning into a usable paper talisman—the likelihood was even slimmer than hitting jackpot at a lottery center. To come up with the correct rune combination like this would be like hitting a medium-sized jackpot. It would be a small repayment from Sky Clinic for fleecing him so much treatment fees.
Ning Tao threw all the useless paper talismans into the delicate perfumed tripod. He wanted to turn them into paper mash, for recycling into medium paper.
"Doctor Ning, are you there?" An immature-sounding voice rang out from outside the door.

The lazy sunshine in the afternoon showered down. There were lots of vehicles arriving and departing Baoshan Airport. It was a busy sight. Lin Qingyu entered the pick-up hall and cast her lovely eyes around. She was trying to locate that face she had missed so much in the crowds. "Qingyu, over here." In the crowds, Ning Tao waved at Lin Qingyu. Lin Qingyu saw Ning Tao and walked swiftly to him. There seemed to be many things she liked to tell him in her heart. But the moment she came to him, she found herself dumbstricken. She could only stare at him with an aggrieved look in her eyes. There was also a joyous affection in this reunion. Her emotions were very complex. Ning Tao smiled at her. "Come, let me pull your luggage for you. My vehicle's parked in the carpark." Lin Qingyu nodded and followed Ning Tao silently. In the crowds, a blond man in dark sunglasses was holding up a pickup sign. But his e

"Is this where you are staying?" After entering the apartment, Lin Qingyu studied the living conditions of the rented rooms. Ning Tao said, "This place is far inferior to your hotel room. I have to inconvenience you for the night. Would that be a problem for you?" Lin Qingyu slightly jerked the corner of her mouth. "So to you, I'm only one of those rich, pampered and extravagant girls, right? I was a very independent girl when studying abroad. The room I rented then was very run-of-the-mill. There will be no problem for me staying here a year, let alone a night." Ning Tao smiled. "Very well then, you can sleep in my room tonight. I will sleep in the living room." "That won't do," Lin Qingyu said. Ning Tao said, "You're a guest. I can't let you sleep on the sofa, can I? Don't stand on ceremony. Let's agree on this: you sleep in my room." Only now did Lin Qingyu nod. She suddenly seemed to have remembe

There were two bedrooms in the presidential suite which Joanne had booked. One was the master bedroom and the other the second bedroom. There was also a living room, a bathroom and a conference room. Joanna had wanted Ning Tao to sleep in the master bedroom, but he insisted on sleeping in the second. Joanna had already helped him once and there was no way he would undermine his host. Joanna did not insist. She dragged her luggage into the master bedroom. Ning Tao also entered the second bedroom. He took up his cell phone and replied Bai Jing's message, "Just keep a watchful eye and do not act rashly." Bai Jing returned his text message, "When you next message, we will tear through the air like an arrow, coming to you with a mighty army." Since when had she become so cheeky? Ning Tao could not help but smile. After opening his photo file, he magnified a photo he had taken and studied it. He had taken the car license number, but
A Mortal's Journey to Immortality Chapter 263 An Inspiration from the Plucking Talisman
Joanna got up to open the door. The person who had pressed the doorbell was her black bodyguard. She also had a visitor— Tamao Takeda. "Miss Joanna, I would like to invite you to dinner. I don't know if you would be happy to accept my invitation." Tamao Takeda was speaking very politely. He was wearing a smile on his face, making one unable to reject him. But Joanna said, "Sorry, I'm having supper with my friend here." If it had been any other time, she would probably have accepted Tamao Takeda's invitation. After all, Tamao Takeda was a man of some importance. But right now her heart was thinking only of fruits like coconuts and papayas. She was in no mood to attend a banquet. Tamao Takeda's gaze stared beyond Joanna and landed on Ning Tao at the dining table. For a moment, his stare was cold and hard. But he still maintained that gentle, affectionate smile on his face. "I was wondering if Doctor Ning is around.
A Mortal's Journey to Immortality Chapter 264 A Frog in a Well and a Large Silicon Chip
As he looked and smelt, Ning Tao discovered Zhu Hongqin had been hexed by the Viper-like Insect. He was not at all surprised by this finding. Bai Sheng did not even spare adolescents like Wu Xiaolin and Liu Xian'er, so why would he leave Zhu Hongqin alone? Bai Sheng had once abducted Zhu Hongqin and then released her. If Ning Tao had not found her hexed, it would be surprising. Actually, it was Bai Jing's experience which had benefited Ning Tao. On top of that, his spiritual power had greatly increased due to his cultivation. His body was in an equilibrium between good and evil. If not for his earlier experience, he would find it hard to detect the Viper-like Insect lurking in a human body. Then, Ning Tao's sight landed on the senior engineer, Hanks, from Gerton Company. He could sense a demon aura emanating from his body. Although it was not strong, it was clearly there. Ning Tao's heart started to ask himself, "Gerton Company is a world re
A Mortal's Journey to Immortality Chapter 265 A Vanishing Act
When Ning Tao stripped Hanks of his clothes using the erroneous plucking talisman, he knew that someone would ask to see his "large smart chip." Lin Qingyu was asking to see it now. Joanna would surely ask too. Ning Tao inched to Lin Qingyu's ear. "It's very dangerous to remain here. Your next-door neighbor..." Lin Qingyu suddenly stretched her hand into Ning Tao's trouser pocket. Ning Tao pressed down her hand and asked awkwardly, "What are you doing?" Lin Qingyu was still forcefully reaching into his pocket. As she did that, she said, "You're hurting me." Ning Tao immediately released his hand. Her one sentence had made him feel bad. There was no longer any resistance holding back Lin Qingyu's hand. She easily reached into his trouser pocket and fished out a crumpled piece of medium paper. As she studied the creased paper talisman, her reaction was the same as Hanks's. She cried in astonishment, "Y
A Mortal's Journey to Immortality Chapter 266 The Power of the Authentic Plucking Talisman
The sound of water running came from Joanna's room. She seemed to be showering. After coming out from his room, Ning Tao walked through the corridor with the small medicine chest in his hand. He arrived in the living room, sat on the sofa and turned on the television. A news program was showing on the television. Ning Tao did not actually want to watch the television, but had only wanted to make some noise to notify Joanna that he had returned. However, it just so happened that the channel was the Guan City Network, and the program was about the Asian Technological Forum which would be opening tomorrow. He was instantly interested and intentionally increased the volume. On the television was a prim and elegant anchorwoman wearing a proud expression and speaking confidently, "Our city's esteemed entrepreneur, the founder of New World Technology, Mr. Bai Sheng had demonstrated their company's latest technological research outcome during the op
A Mortal's Journey to Immortality Chapter 267 Bluetooth Connection Established, Medical Skills Upgraded
After charging with spiritual power, the condition of Joanna's body had streamed into Ning Tao's consciousness again. It was like there was a Bluetooth connection between him and the plucking talisman. Joanna's body became the sender of the information while his brain was the receiving device. The first plucking talisman had removed all the germs and toxins from Joanna's body. Even her level of apolipoproteins had returned to normal. That would mean that this particular talisman would have nothing left to pull, apart from her breast. "Ba Mi Ne Chi En..." Ning Tao recited the spell on the plucking talisman, as he was thinking to himself inside. "Logically speaking, I should be able to control the plucking talisman. Otherwise, it would be meaningless as a talisman." Paper talismans should be under the complete command of its user. For example, the legendary Body Tracking Talisman, if it could not obey the command to track down the target, and
