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
Evening soon descended. In the demon village, a bonfire was blazing in the center of an open ground. Ning Tao, Yang Sheng, and Zhang Chengdong sat on a rug, drinking and eating barbecued food at the same time. They also watched the pretty fish demons sing and dance.Ning Tao had wanted to leave immediately with the Iron Plantains, but Yang Sheng insisted they must stay for dinner. Ning Tao wondered what spiritual materials from the sea he might need in the future, so he thought it better to make friends with Yang Sheng. The latter might be able to help. So Ning Tao decided to stay."Doctor Ning, you have mended my Soul Trident. A toast to you!" Yang Sheng raised a wine bowl and downed the wine.Ning Tao felt somewhat speechless. He could only lift his wine bowl and drink like him. This wine was white wine with a high alcohol content, brewed by the villagers. It caused a nipping sensation to his tongue. Although he had special spiritual power to
Ning Tao leaped down from the Iron Plantain tree. He stopped a brief moment before landing, his feet stepping in mid-air. The feeling was almost as if he were descending a staircase. It looked extremely dashing.Many fish demons were visibly affected. They obviously did not understand how Ning Tao did it.Ning Tao reached out and lifted a bunch of Iron Plantain. It felt heavy in his hand. Usually, a bunch of plantains would weigh at most a few kilograms, but this bunch of Iron Plantains weighed at least 25 to 30 kilograms. There were four bunches on the ground, so they must be at least 100 kilograms in weight.Ning Tao lifted the four bunches of Iron Plantains and walked to the bonfire.Yang Sheng looked at Ning Tao's small medicine chest slung upon his shoulder and smiled. "Doctor Ning, you have so many treasures. The tripod you used for mending magic tools is already a rare treasure. And your knife sliced through the Iron Plantai
