Ge Ming opened his eyes slowly. He saw light and above him was a familiar face. The face was against the light source, it was somewhat blurry, yet it felt so familiar and intimate. He opened his mouth, making a weak voice, "You..."
"Please don't tell me you don't recognize me anymore?" Ning Tao said as he attended to Ge Ming's wounds.
Ge Ming had suffered some torture but was not fatally injured, thus he did not require treatment from the clinic. Ning Tao was able to treat Ge Ming himself. This was the most fortunate outcome of all the misfortunes which had happened. He had already lost his younger sister Su Ya. If his childhood friend Ge Ming were to forget him, he would not be able to accept it.
"Tao, why am I here?" Ge Ming had fully regained his consciousness. He struggled to get up and when he moved, his wounds would be pulled, so he lied back down, panting heavily in pain.
Ning Tao injected a Sacred Needle into Ge Ming's ches
Green smoke wreathed in Sky Clinic. The scowling face on the good-evil tripod had been glaring at Sun Lanxiang for a long time. It was upsetting to be glared at by a person for some time, let alone a face on a tripod. It felt terrifying, although only Sun Lanxiang would know that feeling. By the time Ning Tao returned to the clinic, Sun Lanxiang who hated him to the core, was already sobbing, apparently very agitated.Ning Tao walked over and pulled out the worn cloth gagging Sun Lanxiang's mouth."Gasp..." Sun Lanxiang heaved a long sigh. Then she asked quickly, "Quick, quick, take me out of this place!"Ning Tao asked slowly, "Where to?""To..." Sun Lanxiang's response was very fast. "Release me of course!""Release you? Why?" Ning Tao pretended to be confused.Sun Lanxiang had an impulse to kick Ning Tao's face, but she endured it. "What you are doing is unlawful, you know that? I believe my grandfather
Ning Tao covered Sun Lanxiang with the clothes the erroneous plucking talisman had pulled out. Although he still wanted to shame her, he did not want to engage in an important conversation while she was still naked waist down.If not, their conversation would seem frivolous.Sun Lanxiang started to feel more at ease. She opened her mouth. "Wu Yue is the Zetian Fairy. I've heard my grandfather say she is a descendant of Wu Zetian. After cultivating, she adopted the name Zetian Fairy and roamed the practitioners' world."She stopped speaking at this point.Ning Tao reached out to touch that plucking talisman on her face. "Go on."A flicker of hatred could be seen flashing across Sun Lanxiang's eyes, but a second later, she had avoided Ning Tao's gaze. She continued, "She saved my grandfather's life, so in order to repay her, my grandfather remained by her side, serving her. She, my grandfather said, is the most gifted pr
Outside Sky Clinic, sunlight greeted him, shining on his face. But it could not dispel the gloom in Ning Tao's heart. Given his current strength, he still could not fight either Wu Yue or Nicholas Conway. His small group of followers also could not be compared to the Black Fire or Genesis Biotech Company.It was an obstacle, but how could he overcome it?Ning Tao mused to himself as he walked. Quite unconsciously, he came to the door of his rented courtyard house.The married couple Huang Donglin and Fang Min had just come out of their house. Behind them was Huang Xiaopeng, playing with a toy gun.Ning Tao greeted them. "Teacher Fang, Mr. Huang, good morning. Where are you two going?"Huang Donglin smiled. "Oh, it's Doctor Ning. Today's weekend, right? We're taking our son to the Underwater World."Fang Min gazed at his rented courtyard house and asked, "Why don't Xiaoji come along with us? The kids can ke
"Make way, make way." The woman carrying the steamed buns and soy milk cried as she walked. "So uncivilized. This alley is narrow, so why are you guys crowding over here? Are you guys on a company tour, or doing pyramid selling?"Ning Tao made way for her.No one would dare provoke an auntie from Beidu.Sun Pingchuan and his fearless warriors also made way for her.As she munched her steamed buns and drank her soy milk, she walked out from the crowd, mumbling, "All idling with a full stomach. None of them seems to be paying housing loans..."There were many armed men within the crowd, as well as practitioners who could make the lamp post bend. Yet they all watched quietly this woman walk past them, her expression calm and totally composed.The man pasting the advertisements also walked over. He was carrying a bucket of glue. He stared at the crowd in the alley, yet did not detect any murderous or ferocious
"Don't bother, it will heal by itself." Back in the room, Ning Tao said embarrassedly.Qing Zhui went after Ning Tao with a bottle of hydrogen peroxide and a roll of sterilized cotton wool. "Yes, yes, you must. Your wound is still bleeding. Let me clean it for you."Ning Tao smiled wryly. "I'm a cultivating doctor. Such superficial wounds aren't..."While he was talking, Qing Zhui had pounced on him. Her hand grabbed his Heavenly Gem Pants, pulling it down.His destined concubine was so direct.Ning Tao pretended to struggle and then gave up. He said sheepishly, "Okay, let me do it myself."He pulled down his Heavenly Gem Pants a little and protruded his butt. But Qing Zhui wanted him to stick out more and pull his pants further down. At first the process was like getting a jab, but now, it seemed more like he was being treated for piles."Bear with it, Brother Ning, it might hurt," Qing Zhui
"Are you leaving just like that? Won't you even say thank you?" Tang Zixian said.Ning Tao halted his steps, turning around to look at her. "Thank you. Anything else?"Tang Zixian said, "This isn't my first visit. Don't you remember our pact?"Ning Tao had showed his displeasure with a lukewarm attitude. He had wanted her to leave quickly, but now that she suddenly mentioned their pact, he remembered. "Do you mean... the Authentic Ambergris?""Of course. But I'm not that busy nowadays. I got the Authentic Ambergris from a friend in Hokkaido," Tang Zixian said.Ning Tao watched her, thinking she would take it out. But she did not.Tang Zixian said, "If you want it, let me have an Ancestor-seeking Elixir and see its prescription."Ning Tao's heart trembled and he summoned his state of smelling in his nose. In an instant, he detected numerous odors, all gushing into his nostrils.Tan
The convenient door opened. What greeted them was darkness, and a sky with sparse stars which were barely discernible. But those insignificant lights were not enough to dispel the darkness.Here was where Chen Pingdao had been hiding. A secret cave within a settlement in Pointe-Noire, Gangde, Africa.Bai Jing waved her hand and the Bright Light of the Sea of Misery flew out, hovering above the company. Its flashing lights immediately illuminated their sight.Whoosh!An arrow suddenly streaked towards the Bright Light of the Sea of Misery.Bai Jing waved her hand vigorously, and the Bright Light of the Sea of Misery swerved to one side, avoiding the arrow.Ning Tao said loudly, "Senior Chen, what do you mean by this? I've brought my family to visit you and yet you welcomed us with an arrow! Since you don't welcome us, we shall leave. Then I will message my WeChat group and..."Before Ning Tao c
Five days later.A few thatched cottages were built in the cave and were divided between the team. Yin Molan chose the one near the river, while Bai Jing, an "outsider" like Yin, built her cottage right next to the one of Qing Zhui and Jiang Yu. As the neighbor of Ning Tao, she could hear Ning Tao's footsteps as soon as he stepped inside Qing Zhui's house.Apart from the cottage for living, Ning Tao also found a karst cave in the mountain that served as a perfect place for practice and refining pills. Though Sky Clinic was the best choice for gathering spiritual energy and refining pills, one could hardly practice kung fu in such a narrow space. When it came to common pill refining, it was better to be done in place with spiritual energy so that the pills could absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Obviously Sky Clinic wasn't meant for that. They could refine pills without the spiritual field but that would be a waste of spiritual material. The d
