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
A greenish fire suddenly surged up from underground. It was a ghost fire ignited by demon power. 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. You are the fourth and weakest o
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. Her shak
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
One day later.In Pointe-Noire, Gangde.An African buffalo was charging in panic in the jungle. There were many arrows buried in its back, the blood from its wounds dyeing his spine and belly red.A tribe of indigenous people were yelling after it, pursuing that wounded African buffalo. They were bare-bodied from waist upwards, their faces streaked with colorful dyes. All of them looked very ferocious.Whizz!A tribesman unleashed an arrow from his bow. It darted towards the buffalo's hindleg.This tribesman was different from the others. His skin color was that of a Mongoloid. His face was not smeared messily with paint, but with a red flag bearing a quintet of five-pointed golden stars.He was Fan Huaying."Bullseye!" Fan Huaying bellowed. He looked excitedly at his first unleashed arrow.That arrow soon flew to the buffalo's back and was about lodge itself into his
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. He said in English, "Chieftain Male Eagle, your ailment is very troublesome. I can cure you, but I need many herbs to concoct the pills. If you can provide me with the ingredients, I can cure you."Male Eagle was very agi
Whoosh!The shadow of a rope darted out, plunging into the nearly 90-degree vertical cliff. Ning Tao grabbed the end of the herb-collecting rope and leaped. He gathered his thoughts and the herb-collecting rope rapidly shortened as he flew towards the cliff face. When he finally stopped, his body was already 100 meters aboveground. He launched himself on his tiptoes and dropped with his rope down into the cave on the cliff wall.This was the beauty of the herb-collecting rope, an exclusive magic tool of the owner of Sky Clinic. No cliff was so steep that he could not climb, nor was there any spiritual material on precipitous rocks or cliffs he could not pick.Standing outside the cave entrance, Ning Tao peered in. A little inside the cave, there was a mist of water vapor. But he could only see a section of the cave. It was pitch-black farther in and he could not see anything more at all. Gusts of sinister wind blew out from the cave. Even he co
