Near noon, it started to rain. Large drops of rain fell from the sky. The pedestrians on the streets all sheltered themselves at nearby stores.

Ning Tao crossed the street and came to a cafe. His clothes were all drenched, but his small medicine chest was still dry, untouched by the rain.

"Sir, what would you like?" A waitress asked politely.

"Let me have a cup of latte. Also, give me a cake." Ning Tao picked a seat by the window and sat down.

"Sure. Please wait for a while." The waitress left.

Ning Tao watched the street through the window. It was still raining and there were scarcely any pedestrians on the street.

The waitress soon returned with a cup of latte and a cake. "Please enjoy, sir."

Ning Tao nodded, took away the teaspoon and took a sip of the coffee. Then he took out his cell phone to read the messages from the Practitioners' Club. Zhang Chengdong, the imperial Qing physician had

    The trio came to an alley, walking side by side. At the end of the alley was Sky Clinic.There were two reasons why Ning Tao had been willing to take Tang Zixian and Master Fakong into Sky Clinic. One was because of the secrets of the Feminine-moon people. Although their ruins were buried underground, he still had the cloudy ore they left behind. His Blade of the Solar Eclipse and Whisperer were also forged partly out of this ore. Unraveling the secrets of the Feminine-moon people meant he might be able to raise the functionalities of these two "magic tools". Also, he had always felt curious about that massive stone eggs formation left behind by the Feminine-moon people.The second reason was that both Tang Zixian and Master Fakong were practitioners with good energy. Master Fakong especially was a highly respected monk. He felt that Master Fakong was dependable as a guarantor.Actually, it all pointed to one fact. Even if he brought Tang Zixia

    Inside the clinic, Tang Zixian was reminiscing, "Since hundreds of years ago, the Tang Sect has been searching and exploring for information regarding the origins of the Feminine-moon people and their secrets. There's an ancient book in the Tang Sect's scripture room which talks about the myth of the Feminine-moon people...""Legend has it that the Feminine-moon people were celestial citizens of the Gulin era. All of them practiced cultivation and served a certain high deity in the heavenly realm. The Feminine-moon City was actually an underground residence created by that deity in the mortal realm. Those Feminine-moon people lived as celestial citizens, planting spiritual grains and other spiritual materials, serving that high deity. It was said that the formation was a passage to the heavenly realm. As long as it's activated correctly, spiritual materials would be sent to where the deity lived in the heavenly realm...""The practitioners of the Tang Sect

    Inside the infirmary, a doctor was examining Song Chengpeng. His skin was of an ash grey hue at the moment; his body was emanating a stench of rotten flesh. He was delirious, and would alternate between wailing and snickering.It was the Sacred Needle to Nasty Diseases taking effect.Ning Tao thought that the effect would still need another one to two days to kick in. But seeing Song Chengpeng's situation, he suddenly realized that he had neglected something: Song Chengpeng had long been depleted by a life of debauchery. Even though he was only in his 20s, his immunity was worse than people in their 50s."Superintendent Jiang, we can wait no longer. He has to be sent to the hospital." Worry was written all over Liao Bing's face. "It would be troublesome if someone died here."Jiang Hao glanced at Ning Tao, seeking his consent with her gaze.Ning Tao said, "He should be sent to the hospital given that he's so gravely il

    It was Liu Xian'er. There was a hint of helplessness in her voice, along with a sense of reproach. Based on such a tone, she clearly didn't treat Ning Tao as someone older than her or as a senior in cultivation.Ning Tao glanced at Liu Xian'er; his voice turning cold. "We'll settle the problem between us later. I just want my friend back. I have no other condition. Release my friend and I'll return you a healthy Song Chengpeng."Who was the true controller of the Genesis Biotech Company? Who was behind the deaths of Liu Shiba and Reverend Qingsong? Those questions were not as important as Yin Molan's life. Ning Tao had to set those mysteries aside at that moment. He just wanted Yin Molan to be back."Who told you he's in our hands?" Wu Xiaolin asked. His tone was cold and equally impolite as the one used by Liu Xian'er.Ning Tao said, "I have my own ways of knowing, of course. Let me remind you, I can wait but Song Chengpeng cannot

    After leaving the hospital, Ning Tao rode on the God's Will electric motorbike with Jiang Hao back to the rental courtyard house.Yin Molan had already returned. Although he appeared to be unscathed, he seemed to be in a bad mental state, completely exhausted.Jiang Hao made two cups of tea for Ning Tao and Yin Molan, then sat beside Ning Tao and listened to Yin Molan's recount of his experience."I found the Genesis Biotech Company and realized that the people there are not simple at all. Even an ordinary bodyguard is an exceptional martial artist. I was afraid of exposing my identity during the day, so I made my infiltration attempt during the night.""That night, I climbed the exterior of Genesis Tower up to the fifth floor and entered the building through an open window. It was only a normal lounge. I changed into a security guard uniform I found to pose as one of them, then I started to look for clues in the building..."

    A crisis was over just like that, but the suspicions remained. Who had killed Liu Shiba and Reverend Qingsong? Who were the true powers behind the Genesis Biotechnology Company? The answer seemed to be just within reach yet it appeared to be blocked by a wall, eliminating all chances him to see through it.But life had to go on. Time would not stop after anyone's death or tragedy. Not even for a second.Three days later.A light shower in the evening had ushered in an early winter. The temperature had fallen dramatically. Even the women who were highly conscious about their looks had put on jackets and long pants to fend against the cold. However, inside the Sky Clinic, Ning Tao was barefooted and his pair of hands were put into a ball of liquid inside the delicate perfumed tripod, extracting fiber from it. Strands of thread in various lengths that were thinner than a hair were all over the floor next to the delicate perfumed tripod.

    Ning Tao had his own shortcut to go from the capital city to Hainan, and that was the rental apartment in Guan City’s Hakka Alley. The lease for that apartment had yet to expire. He had left a blood lock in there; it would only take him a few seconds to travel to Guan City from the capital. It would save him a few thousand kilometres of traveling. Even when the rental apartment’s lease expires in the future, he would still have the blood lock at Yinyue Mountain; that would still allow him to use the convenient door for traveling.At 5 a.m., Ning Tao rushed to Zhanjiang harbor and rented a speedboat, directly heading to the Macun Port in Hainan. At 10 a.m., he alighted the speedboat and stepped on the jetty.He had to draw a blood lock while in Hainan, so it would only take him a few seconds to get there.After Ning Tao arrived at the harbor, a man of long hair and fair skin walked towards him; he was wearing a short-sleeved linen shirt and look

    A trident came whizzing through the air.Ning Tao did not move. He did not even blink his eyes.Clang!The trident stabbed into the rocky ground in front of Ning Tao. The rocky ground trembled, and its entire three-pronged teeth, all 30 centimeters of them, penetrated the hard ground. It appeared to be not penetrating into rocks, but bean curd.The handle of the trident had broken off. The remaining half was in Yang Sheng's hand.This was the reason why Ning Tao had ignored the brutal "attack" and did not even bother to move. This trident was the magic tool Yang Sheng wanted him to mend. Since Yang Sheng was asking his favor, why would he attack him when the magic tool was still unmended?"Haha! You're a brave man!" Yang Sheng started to guffaw. He strode towards Ning Tao.Only now did Ning Tao open his mouth. "Senior Yang, aren't you afraid I might misunderstand you?"Yang Sheng

    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. If senior agrees, then he will drop a dragon bone down himself. If it's a default, I'll come and get it mysel

    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?
