Chapter 128 The Incomplete Ancestor-seeking Elixir (1/2)
By six p.m., all the materials had been processed, leaving only one final step—refining. According to the amount written on the elixir prescription, the three best spiritual materials were not used up. Ning Tao saved the rest and prepared to take it back to the Sky Clinic for collection. Maybe it would be used in the future when he made Premium Elixirs.
Under the dim candle light, Ning Tao took out his cell phone, hesitated for a long time, and then sent a message to Lin Qingyu again, saying, ”Qingyu, they are suspicious. It is possible that they are after your brother's project of ancestor seeking. You'd better be careful and not to go to the party at the consulate.”
Within seconds he received a text message from Lin Qingyu saying, ”I will definitely go!”
Ning Tao, who got a headache about this, gave a wry smile and sent another text, ”Don't act on impulse. Those are very dangerous people. Think about where your brother is right now. Think about the reasons those two people came to invest in Blueprint Biotechnology Company. Anyway, don't go.”
Lin Qingyu quickly responded with another text, saying, ”Who are you? Why should you ask me?”
Ning Tao replied with two words—”Your friend.”
Lin Qingyu sent a third message, saying, ”A friend can be a boyfriend or an ordinary friend. What kind of friend do you mean by friend?”
Ning Tao didn't know how to reply now.
He didn't text again. He had reminded her enough. Lin Qingyu was not a child. If she insisted on going to the party, he could not beg her not to go by crying, kneeling and holding her legs. Lin Donghai and Fang Meiling didn't like him. If he went to her house to stop her, maybe Lin Donghai wouldn't let him in at all and would even call the police.
However, he was not really worried about Lin Qingyu going to the party tonight, because the mayor of Shan City Hu Jilu would also go, and there was a team of special agents spying on Shinsuke Takeda and his son and Crewe Arthur. Unless they were out of their minds, they would hurt their target on the first night of their meeting. What he was more worried about was that Lin Donghai, who had become confused because of interests, fell into their trap and ended up with losing money and family.
As a result, as he was ready to put away his phone to start alchemy, he received another message from Lin Qingyu.
The message said, ”I'm sorry, I'm losing my temper, but it's your fault. I know you said for my good, and I should give you some time to think about it. All right, given that you care about me so much, I promise you I won't go to that party.”
Ning Tao's mouth lit up with a smile. She was a little emotional at times, but which woman had never been a little emotional? In fact, she was a rational and general girl, owning the ability to tell right from wrong.
Ning Tao texted Lin Qingyu back, saying, ”That's a relief. I'm going to start making drugs. I'll talk to you when I'm done.”
Lin Qingyu replied, ”Good!”
Ning Tao turned off his phone and put it on the stone bed. Now, every time he practiced and refined elixirs, turning off his cell phone became one of the things he had to do, because he didn't want to get a phone call at a crucial moment in his practice or elixirs refining and hear someone ask, ”Hello, do you need a loan?”
That would be awkward.
Ning Tao divided the elixir blank into three. Then he took one of them and put it into the delicate perfumed tripod.
All the herbs and spiritual materials were left smaller than eggs after initial refining. He divided it into three portions, each the size of a pigeon egg. An elixir blank could be refined into one Ancestor-seeking Elixir, so he could make three. He could put three elixir blanks into the delicate perfumed tripod at one time, but because the three superior spiritual materials were too precious, he chose one at a time to be on the safe side.
As the elixir blank was put into the tripod, Ning Tao sat down cross-legged, released black and white alchemy fire from his hands, and then stuck his hands on the tripod wall.
Zzz!
With a buzz, a ball of black and white alchemy fire rose from the ugly delicate perfumed tripod full of cracks. Cracks on the tripod wall were like dry river beds, and suddenly filled with water and steamy.
Of course, it was not real water and water vapor, but Ning Tao's spiritual power, as well as some characteristics of the delicate perfumed tripod, which Ning Tao didn't know about.
Buzz...
The delicate perfumed tripod kept softly ringing, the black and white alchemy fire jumping.
Everything was normal. With the experience of refining Fine Primary Elixirs, Ning Tao refined with ease.
10 minutes passed in an instant.
