"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
It was freezing cold in the north, yet it was sunny and pleasant in Hainan. The beaches of the demon village were empty, apart from a few women of alluring figures who were mending fishing nets. Docked at the shabby jetty were a few of the most rudimentary kinds of wooden boats which required manual paddling.Such a scene was no stranger to Ning Tao. It was the same as when he had come here previously with Zhang Chengdong, the imperial Qing physician.A woman noticed Ning Tao and greeted him. Instantly, the gazes of the few women who were weaving nets collectively fell on Ning Tao.Ning Tao lifted his Heavenly Gem Magic Garment hood, then raised his hand up high, waving it. "Good day, beautiful ladies. May I ask if your chief is at home?"A female fish demon suddenly shrieked. That voice was like the scream of a dolphin.In an instant, a huge group of fish demons charged out of the palm tree forest from the back of the
Coral reefs, seaweed, and colorful fishes. The wonderful underwater world was presented before Ning Tao. For a view which required others to be in diving suits to enjoy, he could enjoy it casually like having a leisurely walk in the park.A hundred yards, two hundred, three hundred...As they dived deeper, the place got darker.A school of fish suddenly swam towards him, like a charging army of soldiers and horses.Yang Sheng plunged into that school of fish and disappeared.Ning Tao also paused in his tracks and took out the refined tactical flashlight and refined Mauser pistol from his small medicine chest.He had already interacted with the demon village's fish demons twice in total. If he still did not know what that glance from Yang Sheng and Bao Zhimei meant, then he really deserved to die.A piercing bright light shone towards that school of frenetically swimming fishes. That light beam
It was completely quiet in the deep sea. Even the water was still. Stepping on the reefs and soil underwater, Ning Tao headed forward. He felt like he was traveling in a time that had long been exterminated, and he was the only person left in the whole world.Nevertheless, such a sense of loneliness was nothing in comparison to the sense of loneliness felt when reciting the third line "There is no end in this sea of karma, I drift alone in its midst" of "Your Text". It was nothing worthy of mentioning. Without reciting it, he could still effortlessly adapt to this environment.He did not find the cave which Yang Sheng mentioned. Rather, the refined tactical flashlight had incidentally shone on a sunken ship. It was most probably a merchant ship of ancient times. The ship's anchor had rusted and seaweed grew all over its broken deck. There were some deep-sea fish swimming around the seaweed and deck, escaping once they were alarmed by the light.
Under the furious storm, a merchant's vessel was sinking in the wavy sea.A woman in luxurious traditional Chinese clothing was praying in the cabin, with her palms together and kneeling on the floor.She was Yang Yuhuan.The view was still and silent.Ning Tao's eyesight moved to a table next to the woman, on top of which was a sea map made of animal skin, with an area particularly circled out.He briefly scanned the map and a thought crossed his mind. "Could it be the location of the Time-suspending Tower? Is that magic tool still sleeping at the bottom of the sea or has it been found?"His eyes fixed on the map, memorizing every detail of it.The still image moved, changing to another scene where a woman in red replaced the ravishing Yang Yuhuan.It was her again.The woman in red wore a smile on her lips.A whispering sound appeared in Ning Tao's mind
