This was eerie, yet there were also signs leading to it.
Inside the allergic state to the third version of Ancestor-seeking Elixir, Ning Tao had already vaguely experienced the distortion of space. He was already very surprised to sense a slight distortion in time and space, and this time there was even a crack!
Could it be that the completed Ancestor-seeking Elixir really possessed the ability to manipulate time?
Ning Tao could not believe it at all. No matter how powerful the Ancestor-seeking Elixir was, it was only a type of elixir. How could a mere elixir manipulate time and space?
Yet, the seemingly stretched convenient door before him appeared very much like a passage of time and space warped together.
There was no flashback to the past, no lady in red. Only a warped crack.
Still, just when Ning Tao was overwhelmed with shock and clueless about what had happened, something inside the crack seemed to
After burning in alchemy fire, Sun Lanxiang's magic flute came flying out of the rotten, broken tripod, and suspended in the air. It was crystal clear and spiritual energy encircled it. No matter the angle it was viewed from, it was better than before.Ning Tao grabbed the magic flute and waved it casually but he could not work its power. He then placed it on the desk. He had intended to give it to Qing Zhui but Qing Zhui had put herself in seclusion so he could only wait until she came out.Sun Lanxiang's cell phone was also on the desk.The last message from Sun Pingchuan was to wait for his call to confirm a meeting time and location but there was still no new message until now."Is he testing my patience or is he worried about being discovered by Wu Yue?" Ning Tao thought. His sight never left Sun Lanxiang's cell phone. He walked to the entrance of the clinic.The wooden door opened and snow was falling heavily out
“You, by yourself? Where's my granddaughter?” Sun Pingchuan stopped a few steps away, with a cold harsh voice and anger.Ning Tao put away his cell phone and raised up his head. Seeing the sunglasses Sun Pingchuan was wearing, he realized how ridiculous it was to use screen light to attract him. But he still wondered whether Sun Pingchuan was really blind. Wasn't it bit strange for a blind man to run on the Great Wall and find him there?With just a glance, Ning Tao said, "She's in my clinic. As long as you bring what I want, you can see her and take her away in seconds."Sun Pingchuan asked coldly, "Why should I trust you?"Ning Tao didn't reply; he only opened up the small medicine chest without a hurry. He pulled off an ordinary prescription with blood lock on it then opened a convenient door with the clinic's key, and disappeared behind the door.Sun Pingchuan took off his sunglasses. His gray eyeballs stared inten
Although he didn't get the actual fifth bone but he got the content, it no longer mattered whether Ning Tao found the actual bone. If there were only six bones, then the only one left was the one at Nicholas'.After successfully refining the fourth edition of the Ancestor-seeking Elixir, Ning Tao entered the crack of time and space afterwards. He was touched by what Hu Ji said when she awoke.She said: "To find where elixir of immortality hides, catch the elixir's soul first."The woman in red was the elixir's soul.It seemed that the only way to catch the elixir's soul was to put the six pieces together. Whether he could find the complete Ancestor-seeking Elixir and solve its mystery was something to worry about later.However, taking the elixir prescription of the sixth skull fragment from Nicholas Conway was easier said than done.Since he already had five elixir prescriptions out of six and knew the lo
Afternoon."Cock-a-doodle-doo! Cock-a-doodle-doo!"Sitting in the open yard of the house, Ning Tao was playing Sun Pingchuan's magic tool erhu. He was an expert at fixing magic tools but not so good at playing the instrument. Besides, the magic tool for the common practitioner was not functioning, so that was the best sound he could make.As to Sun Pingchuan, he might deserve death. To Ning Tao, the most important thing was elixir prescription on the fifth skull fragment, not to kill Sun Pingchuan. If he killed Sun Pingchuan after he gave him the elixir prescription, that would be ungracious. Do others a favor in a current predicament; make oneself a waiver for the future. Sometimes giving others a chance equals giving yourself a chance.Ning Tao didn't regret this.Meow!A cat's meow entered Ning Tao's ears. He stopped playing erhu and looked up to the roof. A black cat stood on the roof with snow, dirty
A worn Volkswagen Jetta was driving on the road. Although the car was run down, the driver inside was pretty. Many would glance into the car whenever it stopped at a traffic juncture.This decade-old Volkswagen Jetta was owned by Tang Zixian. Although Ning Tao did not show any displeasure on his face, he felt somewhat upset. This broken-down car could not even match a rear mirror of his electric motorbike, God's Will. It was not even worth a refined screw. So why had she looked down on his electric motorbike?But Tang Zixian had quite superlative driving abilities. She drove the car well.Ning Tao did not ask her where they were heading for. Instead, he sat on the front passenger seat, watching the scenery outside. Now and then, he would look at his cell phone to see if Fan Huaying had replied. Whenever he was bored, he would knock the small medicine chest on his lap with his knuckles, making "clock clock" noises.After some time,
Ning Tao scrutinized the young man, then said, "You ought to be lying in your bed, resting. Yet you're roaming around with your crutch. In other words, you're an active man. Judging from your twenty-year-old face, I guess you must be an undergraduate? You like playing basketball, but broke your leg by accident. I've examined you. You have fractured your left kneecap. Although you have undergone surgery, your kneecap is no longer smooth. Your mobility in your right leg is affected. Moreover, your periosteum is clearly infected. I can tell that from the many intravenous needle marks on your arm. Am I right in my diagnosis?"The young man stared dumbfounded at Ning Tao. He was initially very irritated by Ning Tao, since he thought he was just a pretext for Ning Tao's speech. But Ning Tao's words dumbfounded him, simply because every word he said was true. The doctors in the hospital had given him multiple X-rays and CT scans. They had spent a lot of time diagnosing his inj
The woman was around 26 to 27, her hair trimmed short at her ears. She had delicate and demure features. The clothes she was wearing was a well-ironed woman's blazor, totally uncreased. It gave one a feeling of meticulous solemnity.Although she was not in military attire, Ning Tao could sense she was a soldier. There was a similar aura on her body like Jiang Hao's.No matter who she was, Ning Tao still stood up from the sofa out of courtesy.Tang Zixian also rose from the sofa. She said nothing, seemingly taciturn and cautious. She was already pretending to be his nurse or assistant. Had Tang Zixian no motive, she would have ignored this woman with a powerful aura and not acted this way.The woman walked in, introducing herself very directly. "My name is Su Shanshan. I'm Meng Bo's wife. Very happy to know the two of you. Could I know your names and where you are from?"Ning Tao answered with a smile, "I'm Ning Tao and
Ning Tao shifted his eyes and looked. A middle-aged man in white coat was walking towards them. Behind him were two young ladies, one in a nurse uniform, the other also in a doctor's lab coat. Judging from her age, she seemed like a fresh intern from medical school. The expression in her eyes seemed curious, as she stared at Ning Tao. She was slim and attractive-looking.The moment the three of them arrived, the atmosphere became awkward.Su Shanshan broke the brief silence. "Doctor Ning, let me introduce them to you. This is my husband's attending doctor, the best neurological specialist in this country, Tang Jianyi. This is his student, Shen Jiaqi."She did not introduce him the nurse. Perhaps she did not know her name, but the nurse did not seem important to her. After that, she introduced Ning Tao to them. "Professor Tang, Doctor Shen, this is Doctor Ning from Shan City. He has wonderful medical skills. He has traveled specially from Shan C
