Every old Beidu native knew where "Heaven on Earth" was. During the Qing Dynasty, it was a high-end brothel. All its courtesans were dainty and charming, well versed in the arts of zither playing, Go, calligraphy and painting. The nobility of the Manchu dynasty, as well as the officials and squires, would fritter their time away in the brothel. Gradually, this place became a symbol of wealth and status.

This place was now a club teahouse, but only those with wealth and status could frequent this place for tea and business. Ordinary folks could not visit this teahouse at all, since it was only open to its members. Even its lowest membership cost ¥500,000 a year. Premium members must pay at least ¥1 million annually. Common workers or businessmen engaged in small businesses could not afford the membership dues at all.

"Heaven on Earth" was situated next to the imperial gardens. Its edifices were all ancient. Ignorant people might mistake it at a glance for

    Of the two familiar faces, one was Tang Zixian and the other, Master Fakong. Tang Zixian was as pretty as ever, although she did not use the Yingu Soul-suppressing Talisman. She appeared just like she had always looked. Tang Zixian shifted her eyes and stared straight at Ning Tao, as well as Qing Zhui, whose arm was in Ning Tao's, Their eyes met and their expressions were both rather strange. Master Fakong instantly furrowed his brows, chanting Buddha's name. He had advised Ning Tao to break off with this snake demon, and yet here she was, her arm in Ning Tao's! Although he was the disciple of Fahai, this staunchly principled monk had only frowned. Had he subdued her on the spot, everyone would consider it his rightful duty. Ning Tao and Tang Zixian exchanged glances. Then, Ning Tao shifted his eyes away, surveying the hall rapidly. There were dozens of people in the hall—warriors, demons and practit

    It was a boisterous sight at the flea market for practitioners. There were practitioners selling broken magic tools, as well as demons selling spiritual materials. There were even paintings and calligraphy by eminent practitioners of the past. A motley assortment of wares was on sale here, dazzling the eyes. Liu Shiba said, "Mr. Ning, you can take out your elixir. See if you could trade it for what you like." Ning Tao smiled blandly. "Let me observe first. You don't need to keep me company, Old Master Liu." "Okay, let's talk later." Liu Shiba turned and left with Reverend Qingsong and Hai Dongfang. Qing Zhui glanced at the three men depart and drew near to Ning Tao's ear. Her cherry lips were almost kissing it. "Brother Ning, that old creature must be getting someone to barter for your elixir." Ning Tao nodded. He, too, could read Liu Shiba's mind. Ning Tao brought Qing Zhui around this flea market f

    The real age of the nun selling the Rock Essence could not be ascertained, but she must be just over 20, judging from her looks. She looked very young. Although her hair was shaven, her delicate face and exquisite features still gave one an elegant feeling unique to women. "Reverend, how much does your Rock Essence cost?" Ning Tao asked politely. The young nun answered, "I'm not selling it." Ning Tao startled a little. He wondered why she had lain it out if she would not sell it. The young nun added, "It's only for barter." Ning Tao asked, "What do you want to trade it for?" The young nun answered, "Star Iron." Ning Tao felt greatly disappointed. Star Iron was a metallic spiritual material from outer space, as recorded in the Compendium of Spiritual Materials. It was very rare and a premium spiritual material for forging magic weapons. Right now, he did not even have a meteorite to trad

    Good and evil energies were spiraling inside the Sky Clinic. After returning to the Sky Clinic through the convenient door, Ning Tao had instantly gone to retrieve the rotten broken tripod and put the fragments of the nun Cixin's wooden fish inside to repair it. Ning Tao was extremely enthusiastic. As soon as he had gotten this business deal, there would soon be other practitioners who would get him to fix their magic tools. He would be able to get all the money he wanted and all the spiritual materials he wanted. He was on the path to riches! Heaven on Earth, underground flea market... "Little nun, I'm afraid that you've been cheated." That unsightly practitioner walked over. Cixin frowned and did not respond to him. People were talking. "That guy belongs to Daozong, and is named Ma Song, nicknamed Ground-burrowing Rodent. It is said that he has a magic tool that could burrow into the ground, and sp

    The flea market closed at 12 midnight. Other than the business he did with the nun Cixin, Ning Tao also accepted three more deals and repaired three magic tools. He earned a heap of spiritual materials as well as 5 million. Among these spiritual materials, three were ingredients required for his Ancestor-seeking Elixir.After exiting the flea market, Qing Zhui drew close to Ning Tao's ear and asked in a gentle whisper, "Brother Ning, there're so many magic tools. Why did you only close three deals?"Ning Tao smiled and said, "How can there be so many magic tools in this world to repair? One mended means one less. We're showing off our best expertise, so I can only accept three deals. In the future, they have to outbid one another for my service. I'm the only person in this world who can repair magic tools, so of course I will price myself accordingly. I will not only mark up the price, I won't also do business with anyone I dislike.""Oh, I see

    Liu Shiba must be the only person in this world who was not a practitioner and yet had kept a hoard of spiritual materials. This secret chamber behind the study was not large, but there were many precious spiritual materials and medicinal herbs in it. There was such a large variety that they dazzled the eyes. There were also some rare antiques, not in the least less valuable than those kept in museums. Liu Shiba was said to be the grandmaster of all tomb raiders. Surely, such a man would have in his possession antiques. Those antiques he fancied and had kept here were naturally the cream of the crop and all very valuable.However, these antiques did not interest Ning Tao in the least. After entering Liu Shiba's treasure chamber, he started to select his spiritual materials. All he had picked up were put by Qing Zhui into her large hempen sack.To refine the Immortality Elixir, he must of course take the required spiritual materials away. But he was more con

    By four in the morning, Ning Tao had already mended the Heavenly Hossu. The hossu which had been repaired was now gleaming as fresh paint, like a secondhand product having been refurbished. But it was still the same situation—he could not use an ordinary practitioner's magic tool. He could use this hossu as a duster, but could not unleash its magic prowess.Xu Fu's Immortality Elixirs had also been refined. Ning Tao had brought back a great deal of spiritual materials to refine them, but he only managed to refine six. After refining them, he put five into a porcelain vial and the last elixir on the ledger of bamboo slips for identification.A few seconds later, identification information appeared on the ledger of bamboo slips: "A premium aphrodisiac for renewed spring vigor and reproduction, useful for treating infertility. Both men and women will become fertile upon taking it. Shriveled testicles will produce sperms and empty ovaries eggs. A woman will be

    The alley was still the same alley. There were some differences in the courtyard houses by its sides, but the place was by and large the same. The weather had changed though. The sky was wan yellow in a setting sun. It ought to be dark and yet it was not. A youth in Manchu costume wearing a queue was bending over a nearby wall, gingerly spying on something.Everything seemed to have frozen."What is he watching?" Ning Tao felt curiosity in his heart. He was not concerned over whether this hallucination from the past would vanish. He strode to that youth.In the past, the moment he moved, these hallucinations would disintegrate and vanish.But this time, he had moved his legs and taken a step. Yet that youth with the queue had not disappeared.Ning Tao was astounded. This was something which had never happened before. His stride gave him a bizarre feeling, as if he was not walking in a Beidu alley in the 2000s, but on a

    The redclothed Dan Ling flickered lightly, brushing against Ning Tao's open arm and dodging, her silver belllike laughter echoing in the empty temple space."Hee hee ...... hee hee ......"Ning Tao turned around and pounced, his movements were fast and his posture was handsome. After all, pouncing on women like this is something he is very good at, there are three objects practicing this divine skill at home, and most of the time, they can't do it without practicing, they will be forced to practice.However, even the most skillful female pouncing divine power, he also played to the extreme, the red Dan Ling is also much faster than him, saw that he was about to hold her waist, but she gently swayed and dodged again."You come ...... you come ...... hee hee ......"Your sister!Ning Tao pounced again.The redclothed danling dodged while molesting the man who tried to grab her, "You do it, you do it ......"Ning Tao pounced again and aga

    Two people rolling on the ground, that posture unbearable, not at all like two people in the fight, but like a pair of horny couples reunited for a long time ......Although he didn't have a real flesh and blood body, but the feeling of spiritual awareness was even stronger than a flesh and blood body, being hugged by a female ghost and rolled around on the ground, how complicated and weird Ning Tao's feeling at this moment could be imagined."Seeds! Give me ...... seeds!" Nepona's voice trembled terribly.Ning Tao made a strong effort to press against Nepona's chest, embarrassed and nervous "Calm down a little ...... What seed?""Give me seeds ...... seeds!" Nepona repeated this sentence over and over again, desperately moving towards Ning Tao's body.On her this action, Ning Tao do not want to distort all want to distort, as a man he does not blossom nor fruit, to say that the seed is only a kind of son, but that thing is to be able to just give?

    However, it was this grab that made Ning Tao instantly froze on the spot.For, instead of a mere visible phantom, he grabbed a real arm. He could feel the warmth of that arm and the elastic skin, but ......Instead, his hand penetrated past Nebonna's arm, as if the genjutsu was out of the body trying to grab something, feeling it, but not being able to grab it at all.Nepona was real, and he seemed to be just a phantom!But he was clearly real, he could feel the blood flowing through his veins, and he could feel his heartbeat, and his chest expanded with every breath he took, all of these were manifestations of flesh and blood, but he just didn't exist in this past time and space.Hard to explain!"Lost Undead, who are you?" Nepona suddenly spoke.She was still using that ancient and mysterious language, which was simply unintelligible, but through the Whisperer's conversion, Ning Tao was able to hear it clearly.Ning Tao's hand sudden

    Things were piled up under the locked walls of the Heaven's Path Medical Center, spirit materials, weapons, and that peculiar cauldron for alchemy from Nicholas Conti, among other things.Ning Tao organized and categorized the spiritual materials that he needed to use, and those modified weapons were also categorized and collected properly. He couldn't use these weapons, but he could refine them and give them to a few fish demons. With these cultivated firearms weapons with added technological components, they were like a tiger with wings. Even Soft Tianyin, who couldn't fight, she could fight with her magic firearms.As for the tripod Ning Tao didn't have the heart to study it and casually threw it in the corner. He then began to process the medicinal materials and prepare for alchemy.After planning for such a long time and not being able to gather the spirit materials for the Ancestor Seeking Pill until now, how could he resist the urge to refine the full versio

    As night descended, a door of convenience opened, and Ning Tao stepped out of the dark as ink hole."My Lord." Ramsey followed, rising from the couch and calling out respectfully.Ning Tao said, "Is all the information on the person you mentioned ready?"Ramsey picked up the dossier bag placed on the coffee table and handed it to Ning Tao.Ning Tao opened the information bag and took out the information inside to check.Ramsey said, "My Lord, all the information I could get on Saric is in there."Ning Tao said while looking at it, "Will he stay at Black Sail Mansion tonight?"Ramsey said, "He is going out tonight to refill his food and will not remain in the midst of the Black Sail Mansion. My Lord, inside the dossier bag is a map that I handdrew, so you can take a look at it, and I've marked out a safer route for you."Ning Tao quickly flipped to see the handdrawn map that Ramsey had mentioned, and there was indeed a labeled route on

    Ning Tao turned back, the person who called him was a white man, and there were two two companions, a black man and a Mexican descendant, all of them were not very old, roughly between thirty and forty.The Heavenly Character version of the Yin Valley Spirit Suppressing Talisman closed off all the aura related to cultivation, and also sealed the spiritual power, so Ning Tao was unable to awaken his eye's Look state to recognize the good and evil of these three people, and he was also unable to detect whether there were any weapons hidden on their bodies through his nose's Smell state. A Heavenly Character version of the Yin Valley Spirit Suppressing Talisman had turned him into an ordinary person, so when he was suddenly called out, he reacted with a bit of bewilderment and was very uncomfortable with this state of being an ordinary person.This was also one of the reasons why he transformed out to move around, he was going to enter a place like the Blackfire Corporation

    The darkness disappeared, and Ning Tao was already in a room when he reappeared.It was a very spartan room, not even a single piece of decent furniture or appliance, and the couch and bed in use were worn out. There were also no windows in the room, and you couldn't see outside, so there was no way to tell what kind of place this was. The only thing that could be confirmed was that this was a basement.Ramsey was sitting on a worn out sofa watching a news program, when the door of convenience opened he was startled and had an instinctive dodge reaction until he saw Ning Tao conveniently walk out of the door, then he breathed a sigh of relief.Ramsey bowed his head and called out respectfully, "My Lord."Ning Tao nodded his head a bit, also in this little bit of time he completed his reconnaissance against this environment, there was no third party in this basement other than Ramsey, and he let his guard down, "Ramsey, what is this place?"Ramsey said,

    One day later.Southern sea, undersea Dragon Tomb.Under the beam of the Refined Tactical Flashlight, the huge dragon bone was presented in the dark blue sea water. It was so quiet that there wasn't even a single sound of breathing, nor was there any life present, except for Ning Tao.Ning Tao came to the skull of the True Dragon Skeleton, bent his legs and knelt down on the cold rock, and paid three obeisances before saying, "True Dragon Senior, senior here, I have come to beg for a Dragon Bone to refine the legendary Palm Pistol. I know this request is excessive, but I only know that there are dragon bones here, so I can only come to beg you. I promise you that when I use senior's dragon bone to refine the gun in the palm, I will treasure it as if it were my life, and in the future, I will definitely bring it with me to do something in the Immortal Realm.

    The night was late and the quadrangle was quiet.A Door of Convenience opened, and before Ning Tao even came out of the Door of Convenience, Qing Zhui opened her eyes. When Ning Tao had just come out of the Door of Convenience, she had already jumped into Ning Tao's arms from her bare feet.She didn't ask Ning Tao what he had gone through, she just got tired of being in his arms. At this moment, she was not a scaly dragon, she was just a clingy folded ear cat.Ning Tao gently wrapped his arms around her and whispered in her ear, "I'll give you a gift."Qing Zhui curiously said, "What kind of gift?"Ning Tao let go of Qing Zhui and took out that Yin Valley Spirit Suppressing Talisman, handing it to Qing Zhui, "This is Tang Zixian's Yin Valley Spirit Suppressing Talisman, I managed to get my hands on it with great difficulty, try it."Qing Zhui said in surprise, "Try it here?
