Chapter 180 The Tough Son-in-law (1/2)
Ning Tao was silent for two seconds before saying, “I can give you an Ancestor-seeking Elixir.”
“What did you say?” Bai Sheng’s look changed. There was a flash of excitement in his eyes that bent upwards.
Noticing their reaction, Ning Tao deadpanned, “I said I could give you an Ancestor-seeking Elixir.”
Bai Sheng and Bai Jing involuntarily looked at each other, and Bai Jing’s eyes sparkled with excitement.
Ning Tao continued, “I have no control over the stuff in the clinic, and even if I give it to you, you won’t be able to use it. I think Miss Bai has told you about this situation. If you want the tripod, you can go and get it with me. Take whatever you want, but I have to remind you that my clinic is not friendly to sinful people.”
If Bai Jing hadn’t been to the clinic, he wouldn’t have mentioned it. Instead, he told the clinic to crack down on Bai Sheng. In this way, the matter was easy to deal with. However, he suspected that Bai Jing had told Bai Sheng about the clinic, so if he didn’t, Bai Sheng would be suspicious. He would show sincerity in bringing the matter up directly.
Sure enough, Bai Sheng shook his head and said, “Doctor Ning, I’m not going to your clinic for a while. You said you’d give me an Ancestor-seeking Elixir. There’s no joking about it. I’ll be serious.”
“I’m not kidding,” said Ning Tao.
Bai Sheng’s tone was noticeably more worried. “Show it to me. If you do have the Ancestor-seeking Elixir, Qing Zhui will be yours from now on.”
“Let me be clear,” said Ning Tao. “It’s an incomplete Ancestor-seeking Elixir, but it has some elixir power of the Ancestor-seeking Elixir. It can clear the marrow and renewed your muscles, and greatly increase your demon power, which is equal to your years of cultivation.”
“Bring it out and let me see.” Bai Sheng urged. He was clearly worried.
Ning Tao opened the medicine chest and took out the little porcelain bottle containing the Ancestor-seeking Elixir. Instead of handing it to Bai Sheng, he uncorked it and dumped the incomplete Ancestor-seeking Elixir into the palm of his hand. In that instant, he awoke his nose to enter the state of smelling.
The nose was different from the eyes. Eyes were the windows of the soul. The variation of the eyes under the state of looking would make people suspicious and alert, but the nose in the state of smelling would not. As long as he didn’t say anything, no one knew that his nose worked better than a dog’s at the moment.
The taste of the Ancestor-seeking Elixir flooded Ning Tao’s nostrils. At that moment, his eyes suddenly got hot, and then a strange picture came into his sight.
There was no room, and he was not in the First Building, but at the foot of a silver tree. The tree was several stories high and had a large canopy. Its bark and leaves were silver, as if it had been watered with silver. Every one of its branches and leaves was flashing with green brilliance and dense aura. At the foot of the tree, a little white snake was raising its head as if to worship the silver tree.
‘Is the white snake Bai Sheng?’
What kind of tree was that?
Ning Tao’s heart was filled with surprise and confusion.
Bai Sheng didn’t know what Ning Tao could smell or see, so he could not wait to reach out and grab the incomplete from the palm of Ning Tao’s hand.
In fact, he almost grabbed it.
When the incomplete Ancestor-seeking Elixir left Ning Tao’s hand, the scene in Ning Tao’s eyes suddenly changed.
Under the silver towering tree, the small white snake disappeared and the woman in red appeared again. She was breathtaking with a pair of pale green eyes. She looked him straight in the eye, and her eyes were full of loneliness.
For a split second Ning Tao almost wanted to ask who she was and why she was here, but he swallowed it in time. Only he had an allergic reaction to the Ancestor-seeking Elixir. The woman in red was his secret. If he talked, or acted strangely, Bai Sheng and Bai Jing, with their keen observation and super sixth sense, couldn’t help but suspect.
Ning Tao just closed his eyes.
Bai Sheng took the incomplete Ancestor-seeking Elixir and sniffed it, then stuck out his tongue and licked it. At the moment when his tongue came into contact with the Ancestor-seeking Elixir, he seemed to be certain of something. “Yes,” he said, unable to contain his excitement. “There is a legendary elixir power of Ancestor-seeking Elixir, but it was not complete.
Bai Jing’s eyes glint at Bai Sheng’s hands looking for the incomplete Ancestor-seeking Elixir, but she dare not ask Bai Sheng to show her.
Bai Sheng’s eyes fell on Ning Tao, which seemed to penetrate Ning Tao’s heart. “It’s the first time I’ve seen an elixir of this quality. How did you make it?”
Ning Tao opened his eyes and replied, “I didn’t make this. I got it by accident from a senior.”
He had recovered from the allergic reaction.
“You didn’t make it?” Bai Sheng looked straight into Ning Tao’s eyes, as if trying to penetrate Ning Tao’s secret.
“I’m an cultivating doctor, but I can’t make it,” Ning Tao said.
“And from whom did you get the elixir?” Bai Sheng asked.
“The Taoist Heavenly Hound, Chen Pingdao,” Ning Tao said.
Chen Pingdao had lied to him, so it was okay for him to put this thing on Chen Pingdao. Not only would he put this on Chen Pingdao, but he would put other things on Chen Pingdao if he needed to. With Bai Sheng’s greed, as long as he said the incomplete Ancestor-seeking Elixir was his own refining, Bai Sheng 100 percent would ask him for the elixir prescription. Leave it to Chen Pingdao and let Bai Sheng to find Chen Pingdao.
