Open A Clinic To Cultivate Myself Chapter 216 Stacked Treatmen

Back at Du Mountain, Ning Tao and Yin Molan found the G.o.d's Will electric bicycle and motorcycle at the foot of the mountain. After that, they sneaked into the Temple of Dead Tree on the mountain peak.

There was not a single soul in the entire temple. Even the two people who were made unconscious, had already vanished.

Ning Tao came to the second big hall, and pushed open the doors to the hall.

There was also a sacred altar in the second hall, which housed a statue made of pure white granite. The statue was wearing a sharp-tipped hat, and its face was hidden. A white long robe was draped over its body, a flower vase in one hand and a tree branch was pinched in his other hand.

After seeing it, Ning Tao could not help but berated. “Did you really think you're some G.o.d? Emulating Guanyin's poses?”

That statue was a statue of Bai Sheng, and the bottle in his hand was a shrunken Soul-devouring Urn. That tree branch was also no ordinary branch. It was a branch of the Silvermoon Cherry.

Below the altar were two prayer mats.

Ning Tao was suddenly reminded of the two people who were supposed to be here, but nowhere to be seen. He activated his power of smell, and very soon, he found the smell he had been tracking down for. It was the smell of the youths Wu Xiaolin and Liu Xian'er.

Wu Xiaolin and Liu Xian'er had been here at the second hall, but with just the leftover smells in the air, Ning Tao could not tell the duration they had been here, and when they had left the place.

Bang!

Yin Molan took out his Blade of Brotherhood, brandis.h.i.+ng it as he charged towards Bai Sheng's “idol”, intending to chop it.

Ning Tao grabbed Yin Molan's wrist. “Senior Yin, it's not necessary. Chopping it would leave behind traces.”

“Alright. Indeed, it's not necessary.” Yin Molan placed his knife back into its sheath, but with a leap forward, he plucked the Silvermoon Cherry branch off. “It's an alchemic ingredient. We shouldn't waste it.”

“You can keep it. Let's go take a look at the third hall,” Ning Tao said.

The pair came to the third hall. Pus.h.i.+ng open the doors, they saw that it was empty. That huge urn had also gone missing.

Ning Tao furrowed his brows. “That rascal is still alive. If he were dead, who would be moving away such a huge porcelain urn?”

Yin Molan asked in puzzlement, “The cave had collapsed, so how did he escape?”

After thinking for a moment, Ning Tao said, “Perhaps there are secrets we don't know about, or perhaps it has something to do with that Soul-devouring Urn. Oh right, Senior Yin, what else do you know about that Soul-devouring Urn? Tell me about it.”

“Let's talk as we go. This is not the place to stay for long,” Yin Molan said.

Ning Tao nodded, and followed Yin Molan. He continued talking to Yin Molan as they were walking.

The top ten evil magic tools ranking was no Forbes' list of billionaires. Each and every magic tool on the list were equally fiendish. No matter who was wielding it or was being used against, someone would be hurt, and would even raise a h.e.l.lish battle. However, Yin Molan did not know about all of the evil magic tools. Apart from the Soul-devouring Urn, he was only aware of the Time-suspending Tower which was eighth on the rank. According to the legend, once activated, it could make every living object within a certain parameter freeze in time, just like time had been suspended. The living objects which were suppressed by the tower would be either dead on the spot, or would wither and die over the next few days. It was horrifying.

“Senior Yin, how did you learn about that top ten evil magic tool ranking?” Ning Tao asked.

Yin Molan said, “I've lived for hundreds of years. The people I've met and the stories I've heard are more than the grains of rice you've ever had. I've learnt about the ranking when I went to Spain for a cultivation trip during the Qianlong period, from a fellow cultivator. Later I learned that something went wrong with that guy's elixir cultivation, and he died from taking a poisonous elixir. I've even heard that his grave was robbed.”

Ning Tao could not imagine how miserable it must be for that fellow cultivator.

However, not everyone would have a ledger of bamboo slips to a.s.sess elixirs for them. There were many cultivators who had died from consuming poisonous elixirs from cultivations gone wrong. Like previously when Zhu Hongqin had set Ning Tao up to die by leading him to the wrong elixir prescription, causing him to cultivate a poisonous elixir. If it were not for the ledger of bamboo slips' ability to a.s.sess elixirs, Yin Molan who was so desperate to consume the Ancestor-seeking Elixir could have been dead by now.

“You shouldn't ask about it anymore. After all they're all hearsay, I've only ever heard of them. I have some impression of it, so I could identify it when I recognized some of the special features of the urn,” Yin Molan said.

All Ning Tao had on his mind was a person. “Senior Yin, I would have to trouble you to watch out for Zhu Hongqin during this time. Bai Sheng did not kill her, but instead, had released her. This isn't normal. Watch her closely, we might get a lead,” he said.

“Sure, count on me,” Yin Molan agreed promptly.

The pair leaped over the metal bars, and headed towards where their G.o.d's Will electric bicycle and motorcycle were parked.

After getting on their bikes and ready to leave, Ning Tao suddenly thought of a question. “Senior Yin, let me ask you another question. I heard you mentioning about tool souls. What's that?”

Yin Molan said, “There are spirits in everything, but they're of varying strengths. Cats and dogs are domesticated because of the acute nature of their spirit. Magic tools have souls as well, but they're incomparable to human beings who the spirits above all spirits. However, advanced magic tools are comparable to the spirits of human beings, or could even surpa.s.s that of humans. It could feel what humans feel, think what humans think. They are hidden over the world, and would be activated when the time comes.” As he explained, he looked at Ning Tao who was deep in thoughts. “Do you believe what I said?”

Ning Tao nodded. “Of course I do. What I understood was AI. Even artificial intelligence could emulate the abilities of humans in chess, arithmetic, speaking, singing, and more. For magic tools to reach a certain level to attain human abilities, it would make them tool souls. There's nothing hard to believe. That being said, don't we have one in the clinic?”

Yin Molan was stunned for a moment, then said, “It is much stronger than that Soul-devouring Urn. Also once you've mentioned it, I feel quite bad. Alright, let's separate ways here. I'll go watch Zhu Hongqin, and I'll let you know once there's any news.”

“Senior Yin, be careful,” Ning Tao urged.

Yin Molan waved his hand, and rode off on his motorcycle.

Ning Tao turned back to look at the Temple of Dead Tree on the peak of the mountain before heading to the city on his G.o.d's Will electric bicycle.

The night breeze was blowing, blowing away all his troubles.

He wanted to rescue those five deaf-mute girls, yet they were burned into ashes right before his eyes.

He was so sure that Bai Sheng was the tyrant of this place. He wanted to kill Bai Sheng, but many signs were pointing to Bai Sheng still being alive.

After the battle tonight, he did not manage to achieve anything except proving that he was not strong enough.

If he could not even deal with one Bai Sheng then how was he going to face a much stronger Nicholas Conway? The latter had the ability to cultivate technological magic tools!

While pondering over a series of questions, he had absentmindedly returned to Hakka Alley. Ning Tao was going to return directly to the Sky Clinic, but he could not be at ease with Bai Jing and Qing Zhui being injured. Thus, he returned to the rental apartment.

Once he had entered the room, he nearly coughed up blood.

In the small living room, Qing Zhui was cleaning up the wounds on Bai Jing's body. On the ground were clothes left by the two snake demons. The two sisters were only left wearing their undergarments. Both their clothes on the ground and on their bodies were ragged, and even bloodied.

What a scandalous scene teeming with lasciviousness.

“I… suddenly recalled I have something urgent to attend to. I'll be leaving first,” Ning Tao felt his eyes violated, immediately turning and leaving.

“How heartless, Doctor Ning,” Bai Jing's voice, no longer referring to him as 'Brother Ning', her tone sounded evidently unhappy. “Sister and I have gone to depths of h.e.l.l for you. Now that we're injured, you're leaving. How are you so callous?”

Ning Tao was left silent from the lecture.

It did feel unkind for him to walk away like this. However, if he were to heal them, he could already easily imagine what would happen during the process, and how difficult and agonizing it would be.

“Sister, look at the man you've found for yourself,” Bai Jing added insult to injury.

Qing Zhui pouted. “Sister, how could you say that about my Brother Ning? In the cave earlier on, not only did Brother Ning catch us, he even s.h.i.+elded us with his body. Did you forget all about it?”

Bai Jing rolled her eyes at Qing Zhui. “That was also because he knew he would be alright anyway. Did you really think he was genuine? I'm sure he can't wait for you to die so he could find a new lover.”

Ning Tao could no longer listen on anymore, he approached them. “Sister Bai, I don't think I agree with what I'm hearing. Don't you just want me to heal you? I'll do it.”

However, Bai Jing said, “Heal my sister first, I'll watch how you do it. Then you shall do the same for me. Don't you think you can fool us.”

Ning Tao: “…”

Bai Jing and Qing Zhui were both snake demons, but one was a snake spirit while the other was a baby snake, which was totally different.

Qing Zhui promptly lay on the sofa. “Brother Ning, come on. I'm not afraid of pain.”

With the slender waist, an alarmingly curvaceous b.u.m, the seductive posture, torn fabric, and a “Brother Ning, come on”, Ning Tao felt like something was burning in his stomach. His entire body was feverish.

Qing Zhui turned over suddenly. “Do you need my pants off? Then I can take it off.”

Ning Tao grabbed her hand frantically. “No, no, it's OK, just lie down properly.”

“Oh, OK,” Qing Zhui responded, then returned to her initial position.

Bai Jing shook her head in disagreement as she watched. “No wonder you two have not slept together yet after so long. How long is it going to take if you're just so obedient?”

Qing Zhui was going to rebut, but Ning Tao turned her head back. “Don't listen to her. She'll lead you astray.”

Bai Jing rolled her eyes at Ning Tao. “Can demons which are not bad still be demons? My sister is so silly, if I don't teach her, you might sell her some day and she would still be gleefully counting the money for you.”

Ning Tao ignored her, and used a tweezer to pluck out the rock fragments stuck in Qing Zhui's flesh. After removing each fragment, he would apply delicate perfumed cream on the area, coupled with spiritual power to help her heal.

After he was done with her back, he proceeded to her front. When Qing Zhui flipped over, breathtaking scenery of peaks and valleys appeared. Ning Tao felt like there was no longer enough s.p.a.ce in his pants. The thing in his pants was already tough, but now, it had completely firmed up.

Even though he was suffering, he still had to continue with the treatment. Ning Tao persevered on and cleaned the wounds on the frontal part of Qing Zhui's body. He left no part untouched, including the parts underneath the fabric.

Bai Jing side-eyed at a certain spot on Ning Tao, and a mysterious smirk appeared on her face. She looked like she was ready to concoct a scheme.

Finally after he was done with Qing Zhui, despite not being exhausted, Ning Tao was perspiring all over. He said, “Sister Bai, it's your turn.”

Bai Jing immediately threw herself on Qing Zhui, and turned her head, saying, “Come on.”

Stacked treatment?

The tweezer in Ning Tao's hand fell off his hands, but did not reach the ground…
