All Chapters of A Mortal's Journey to Immortality: Chapter 331 - Chapter 340

The evening breeze blew over, bringing across the scent of the sea. Ning Tao was standing on the balcony of an ancient castle from the Middle Ages, overlooking the old city of Stockholm's scenery. Every ancient castle and church were standing tall, piercing into the clouds. The stone pavement which ran through the city, connected the ancient buildings together, creating a painting of the past. Further into the distance was the estuary of Lake Mälaren going into the Baltic Sea. Cargo ships and fishing boats, along with sailboats and cruises were riding on the waves. Colonies of seagulls were flying in the golden sky. Also a capital, Beidu, was like a person running with a baggage, perspiring profusely yet still continuing to speed up. Meanwhile, Stockholm was like a person strolling by the beach. It was very slow-paced and leisurely without troubles hovering on the mind. Still, it was hard to say which place or lifestyle was better, because everyone had th

At the end of the banquet, a guard came to report the arrival of Professor Jade. "Doctor Ning, it's now time for you to exhibit the medical skills of Hua Country." Joseph Talman turned his eyes to gaze at Ning Tao, his face wearing a smile. Although he spoke politely, he did not for some reason sound as if he was a believer. Ning Tao put down the dinner napkin and stood up. "I must go back to my room to fetch my medicine chest. Then I will visit the patient." Joseph Talman said with a smile, "Medicine chest? No, Doctor Ning, all the world's most advanced medical equipment and medicine are here. You don't need a medicine chest." Ning Tao replied blandly, "I don't need any medical equipment or medicine here. If they were effective, Princess Shalim wouldn't have invited me to treat Professor Jade, would she?" Joseph Talman's lips quivered and a tinge of displeasure flashed across his eyes. A doctor from

The room was quiet. The dying man was strenuously trying to open his eyes to see the youth at his bedside. The youth by the bed was staring at the ceiling, deep in contemplation. A man to be dealt with by Heaven. Should he treat him or not? "I need a pastor..." Professor Jade broke the silent atmosphere of the room with his feeble voice. Ning Tao's contemplation did not lead to any conclusion. He sat by the bed, watching the emaciated Professor Jade. He kept silent for a while before saying, "You may chat with me anything you like. There are only two of us here." "I need a pastor... I want to confess to him..." Professor Jade said. Ning Tao thought for a while before opening his medicine chest and taking out an ordinary prescription. He drew a crucifix with his pen. He placed the prescription with the crucifix beside Professor Jade's hand, lifting his hand and putting it upon the crucifix drawing. A

The night was bleak and dusky. An electric motorbike was racing on the road away from Stockholm. The night breeze brushed against Ning Tao's face, but could not dispel the scorching desires in his heart. Even now, the image of Shalim Talman was imprinted in his mind, wriggling like a water serpent... Heaven would have pitied him. No virgin boy of over 20 years old could resist such temptation! "I rest within the womb, listening to the sound of the Way." Dong! The divine bell tolled. Desire, that paper tiger, was immediately and completely dispelled. Ning Tao heaved a sigh of relief. He revved up his engine and accelerated ahead. After half an hour, a small town entered Ning Tao's sight. It was a typical Northern European town, with plain, unadorned buildings dispersed within a valley. They had gabled roofs sloped on both sides, as well as chimneys. Some of the walls were painted white, others orange.

A faint white glimmered in the east. The magnificent and lofty Florence Cathedral was still cloaked in darkness. There were no pedestrians on its ancient streets, let alone any open taverns. On the uppermost story of Giotto's Campanile, there was an eastern couple standing abreast before the window, watching the dusky Florentine scene. "Didn't you say you would take me to a tavern for beer?" Jiang Hao broke the silence between them. Ning Tao sounded quite embarrassed. "I'm sorry. I was so elated that I forgot the time difference." Jiang Hao said no more. She shifted her eyes to outside the window. Although everything was dark and unlit, she still enjoyed the view. She had never visited Florence before, so everything here seemed especially attractive to her. Some time passed. There was a young couple coming from the other end of the street. They halted before the gate of Florence Cathedral. The young man suddenly k
