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
They were black bats with white faces, each the size of a fist. There were at least a thousand of them, a large black mass resembling a dark cloud! But what frightened them was not their sizes but their white faces. Each face had greenish eyes like green peas, gleaming with a demonic light under the illumination of the flashlight. They had not surged over, but were already opening their mouths impatiently. There were fangs in them, two upper and two lower ones. A row of dense, sharp teeth was between, giving one the impression they were mouths of vampires!Qing Zhui gasped in terror. "Phantom bats! They are phantom bats! Run!"Jiang Hao's face paled in fright, without the slightest tinge of ruddiness. She had just become a new demon and besides, women always have an inborn horror at such disgusting creatures. When she saw these phantom bats looming over them like dark clouds, she found herself unable to control her legs.At this crucial moment,
Ning Tao's legs widened, as he propped up the ice surface with his arms. He used his palms, feet and the friction of the ice to keep himself from sliding down. He watched Qing Zhui below him. She was standing on a block of ice as the water rippled below her. He did not know what she had discovered.Qing Zhui's back was touching the ice wall, so as not to be hit by Ning Tao and Jiang Hao sliding down.They would soon slide to the bottom. Ning Tao hit out with his arms and legs, forcefully drawing to a halt just above Qing Zhui's head.From overhead came the sounds of wind and chafing. Ning Tao raised his head frantically to look, and the sight stunned him. His pupils widened by 50%.Jiang Hao who was sliding down in a similar position could not halt on time. Her entire person rammed like a shell against Ning Tao's body.Bam!They crashed and both sank to the bottom of the ice crater.Crack!
Ning Tao pushed open the gate of the fenced courtyard. The door of the illuminated house also opened.An old man walked out of the door.Their eyes met.Ning Tao suddenly lost control of his emotions and dashed forward.The old man lifted a hand and made a gesture for him to stop. He said nervously, "Calm down! Listen to my explanation... "Fancy running into him by sheer accident after searching so far and wide! In plainer jargon, it meant "so where can you hide now"?This old man was none other than the Taoist Heavenly Hound, Chen Pingdao.The moment he inherited Sky Clinic, Ning Tao had been searching for him. Yet Chen Pingdao seemed to have evaporated from the face of the earth. He had no news of him at all, let alone knew his whereabouts. But now, Ning Tao had found him unexpectedly in this secluded cave during his African expedition!Their re-encounter was a fortuitous one,
