Chapter 186 The Dog in the Cloud-lying Village (1/2)

Back at the rented house, Ning Tao pulled out the skull fragment he brought back from the grave and transcribed its contents. He then wrote down exactly what he had seen on the skull fragment in Yin Molan kept.

Although the contents of the two skulls were combined with the new elixir prescription, it was still incomplete. Even so, Ning Tao’s heart was still full of expectations, and he couldn’t wait to make a new incomplete Ancestor-seeking Elixir. The one he remained was given to Bai Sheng, and he had no more. To re-enter the magic and mystery reaction of drug allergies, he needed a new incomplete Ancestor-seeking Elixir.

“Brother Ning, are you hungry? Shall I get you something to eat?” Qing Zhui asked.

Ning Tao replied, “No, I’m not hungry. I have to go back to the clinic and go to Shennongjia. I asked Jian Mi to pick some herbs for me. I wanted to see if he had any.”

“It’s late today. Can’t you go tomorrow?” Qing Zhui obviously didn’t want Ning Tao to leave.

Ning Tao said, “I need spiritual materials to make the Ancestor-seeking Elixir. I’ll stay in Shennongjia for a day or two. Be careful these two days. You can go out and do something good. I’ll give you my bank card and password. Don’t care how much money you spend on charity.”

Qing Zhui wanted to go to Shennongjia with him, but she had no courage when she thought of the terrible experience of entering the Sky Clinic.

“Well, then, I’ll stay at home and go out to do something good.” Qing Zhui agreed.

A demon was born to do harm, but she was going to do good. This was probably a different way of cultivation.

Ning Tao gave Qing Zhui his bank card and password, as well as a few more instructions, before he left the rental house for the Sky Clinic. He took his medicine collection tools and some money, then opened the door to the Cloud-lying Village and went in.

Two seconds later Ning Tao could see clearly around him. He was at the foot of a cliff near the Cloud-lying Village. He wanted to open the blood lock left in Jian Mi’s room, but he was afraid that Jian Mi would see it and be frightened. The blood lock left in Jian Mi’s room was the spare lock, and he’d better not open casually.

Then he entered the Cloud-lying Village. The village was quiet. Not a house was lighted.

A hound rushed out of a farmhouse yard, but instead of barking, it wagged its tail at Ning Tao.

Ning Tao was a little curious and said to himself, “Does it because Chen Pingdao bit me? Is he really a dog? If so, he is… a demon?”

But he soon dismissed the conjecture with a wry smile. Chen Pingdao had left a message telling him he was a practitioner who had lived for more than 2,000 years. Since he was a practitioner, he was not a demon. More important evidence was that Chen Pingdao was also a natural go-between of good and evil, the previous owner of the Sky Clinic. He was a go-between of good and evil, not a dog.

Ning Tao reached out and patted the hound’s head, smiled and said, “You’re so good, next time I’ll bring you some dog food. You must have never eaten one in your life.”

“Woof!” The hound barked twice at Ning Tao, softly, as if to show that it understood what Ning Tao was saying and said “thank you.”

Ning Tao walked on, the hound following him.

Ning Tao waved and said, “Go back and look at your yard.”

“Woof!” The hound barked at Ning Tao again and went back.

Ning Tao took a few steps and felt something was wrong. He glanced back at the back of the hound, filled with wonder and curiosity. “My god, can it really understand me? It’s not scientific, is it…”

He was puzzling to think of the Heavenly Hound tripod with a bulging belly in the Sky Clinic, which he didn’t know its use. Maybe he should try the tripod on a dog to see if it was really a tripod of an alchemy, or a dog bowl.

Jian Mi’s house was dark as others.

Ning Tao woke up the looking and smelling of his eyes and nose, and then saw the innate aura released from the crack of the door, one belonging to Jian Mi’s mother, Aunt Jiang, and the other belonging to Jian Mi. To his surprise, he also smelled some precious medicinal herbs, which was from Jian Mi’s room.

Ning Tao went to Jian Mi’s room and knocked.

A few seconds later, Jian Mi’s voice came from the room. “Who is it?”

Ning Tao replied, “It’s me, Ning Tao.”

Learning that it was Ning Tao, Jian Mi immediately got up and opened the door for Ning Tao before he could put on his shoes.

When Jian Mi turned on the light, Ning Tao saw a large amount of herbs piled up in the corner, which were needed to make the Primary Elixir. Then he noticed that Jian Mi had a number of cuts on his face and arms, apparently from thorns when he picked up herbs.

“Does it still hurt? I’ll take care of it, or you’ll get scars.” said Ning Tao, concerned.

Jian Mi gave a simple smile. “Brother Ning, this little injury doesn’t matter. There’s nothing to have scars. It’s good for a man to have some scars on his body. A man who is too white and clear will look like a woman.”

Ning Tao laughed at what he said. “Well, it’s up to you. I’ll leave you a bottle of delicate perfumed cream. Apply it to your wound. It’s okay to have scars on your body, but if your face is damaged, it’s hard to find a partner.”

After a few words of conversation, Ning Tao took out a bottle of delicate perfumed cream from the small medicine chest and gave it to Jian Mi.

The door of the next room opened suddenly. Aunt Jiang came out of the door, looking a little confused. “Jian Mi, who’s here?”

“Mom, it’s Brother Ning,” Jian Mi replied.
