In the imperial palace, tourists were thronging in crowds. The voices of tourist guides resounded in this ancient palace. The stories they told were a mixture of facts and fiction. Some could be verified by historical records; others were so spurious that even the involved parties would not guess them.

Ning Tao had visited Beidu many times, and had also passed the entrance to the palace before. He never had time to visit the palace. This time, however, he had come because of a line in the letter the Howling Celestial Dog fetched him, "I am waiting for you at the imperial palace. There's something I need to talk to you about. You must come alone."

Although the letter writer did not identify himself, Ning Tao could smell a faint sea stench from the letter. He suddenly thought of a missing person: Hai Dongfang. He could not ascertain whether it was him simply from the stench, but he did not wish to forgo even a glimmer of hope. The fact was, perhaps only Hai D

    They had walked such a distance and Ning Tao had heard so much nonsense. The only thing he wanted was an answer— who killed Liu Shiba and Reverend Qingsong?Hai Dongfang was silent for a while before saying, "Before I speak, I want to know why you were in the Immortal's Tomb with Zeng Xunlong."Ning Tao's thoughts stalled for a moment before he spoke. "Why ask me this?"Hai Dongfang said, "You want to know who killed Liu Shiba and Reverend Qingsong. I want to know what your encounter in the Immortal's Tomb was. You tell me what I would like to know, and I do the same for you. Isn't this transaction very fair?"Ning Tao smiled. "I might as well let you know. I went to Holy Mountain in the western province to find clues about the elixir prescription of the Ancestor-seeking Elixir. I didn't expect to meet Zeng Xunlong and his men at their camp. My dog bit his and we had a confrontation. He wanted to kill me. I realized he was armed wi

Although not of the same degree as the ghost fire sprayed by the Soul-devouring Urn, every mortal who came into contact with it would be incinerated!This ghost fire had come too suddenly. Ning Tao was just standing in the center of this ghost fire. No matter where he dodge, he would be scorched by its flames.In fact, he had indeed been burned. That ghost fire flickered out from underground and spread to the entire dungeon except for that cell. Ning Tao could not dodge. In an instant, he had been engulfed by the fire.There was a hidden formation in this underground chamber!"Hahaha..." Hai Dongfang gave a series of bizarre laughs. His laughter sounded like a pervert's. "I spent a century perfecting this ghost fire formation. Three highly-skilled practitioners tried to kill me and perished in this fire.

    The next day, Bai Jing and Qing Zhui had returned.Ning Tao rode on his electric motorbike to fetch them at the airport. Once they met, Qing Zhui ran up to him and crashed into his embrace, completely ignoring how many people could have been watching.Ning Tao hugged her tightly. He also missed her very dearly, as if it had been a long time since they parted.There were no words exchanged between the two. Their yearning and affection for each other were expressed and conveyed to each other through their bodies. The feeling was very comfortable and natural.The two did not part for another minute. Many people around them were casting strange gazes.Bai Jing coughed and said, "Stop hugging. You can continue at home."Ning Tao then released Qing Zhui. "Let's go home."Qing Zhui nodded. "Okay."Bai Jing spread her arms open and stared at Ning Tao.Ning Tao reached over to

    Zhang Chengdong, the imperial Qing physician, carried with him a large bag. Zhang Chengdong was a clever man. Even though he had asked for Ning Tao's help to refine elixirs, he had only brought a few spiritual materials. Once Ning Tao refined the elixir he needed, there would be nothing left.However, Ning Tao did not care about his few spiritual materials. Zhang Chengdong had helped him to locate the Iron Plantain, which was already enough of a "payment" for him."Where's the elixir prescription?" Ning Tao asked.In the living room, Zhang Chengdong looked at the five demons and a dog in the room, seemingly wanting to say something, but he did not.Ning Tao said, "They're all my family. Even the dog is mine too. You don't have to worry about anything."Zhang Chengdong smiled wryly. "Indeed. Even if I told you alone, you'd tell them about it eventually. All right, let me give you the prescription."He passe

    When it was gradually getting bright in the eastern horizon, an electric motorbike was entering Sudan's border from Egypt. A male driver and two female passengers were seated so tightly together, making it seem like they were riding in a maglev car instead of an electric bike.Just within a night, Ning Tao rode on the God's Will electric motorbike with Qing Zhui and Jiang Hao through Egypt and arrived here."Bump, bump, bump..."As they could not pass the checkpoints on the border routes, Ning Tao could only travel through the wilderness to avoid the checkpoints, so a bumpy journey was inevitable. The God's Will electric motorbike trembled violently, and so did Qing Zhui and Jiang Hao behind.Jiang Hao was initially supposed to sit behind Ning Tao but was worried that she would lose control of her demon powers and freeze Ning Tao along with the bike, and they would crash, so she gave up the seat in the middle to Qing Zhui.

    None of the injured villagers had any merit of good intention. Even those with sins of evil intentions had only a few demerit points. They were all ordinary, suffering folks. If he brought them back to treat in the clinic, Ning Tao would suffer a loss. Ning Tao was too lazy to take them back to the clinic. Instead, he used plucking talismans to treat those with gunshot wounds, pulling out their bullets. He made Qing Zhui dress their wounds. If they were only lightly injured, he let Qing Zhui treat their wounds directly. After that, he would use his spiritual power to heal them and remove their old ailments as well. Finally, he gave Qing Zhui a few Fine Primary Elixirs to brew a big pot of herbal broth for every injured villager to drink from bowls. He tried to maximize her merits of good intention.Jiang Hao dragged two seriously injured militants into Ning Tao's treatment room. "Tao, while going through the dead bodies, I found these two men alive. Would you like to ta

    In the house of Male Eagle.After looking and smelling, Ning Tao had already grasped the situation concerning Male Eagle. Although this man could perform coitus, he could not have children. Both his testicles were dysfunctional. No hospital in the world could cure this ailment.The fertility pills from Liu Shiba were certainly useful for this purpose. From the contents of the ledger of bamboo slips, he knew that they could cure infertility and make a man's testicles produce sperms, or a woman's ovaries eggs. No matter what man or woman took them, they could bear children. So Male Eagle's congenital fertility problem could be cured by one quality fertility pill.But after the examination, Ning Tao started to frown.

    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.

    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,

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?
