Chapter 353 Would You Laugh, Qin Shihuang? (2/2)

What followed were a heap of pointless comments.

When he came to the final page, Ning Tao saw a message from a practitioner called Heng Zhenzi. His message was: has anyone received an invitation from Tie Guli?

This message from Heng Zhenzi was sent at two in the morning. No one replied to him.

“An invitation from Tie Guli?” Ning Tao felt somewhat curious. He wanted to query Heng Zhenzi, but thought better of it. If he were to show himself, there would be a whole mass of new messages.

After that, Ning Tao kept his cell phone and returned to the delicate perfumed tripod. He put all his prepared spiritual materials in and then started the spiritual fire. He began to refine the third version of the Ancestor-seeking Elixir.

The black-and-white flames flickered around the delicate perfumed tripod, soaring more than 60 centimeters high. The heat was intense. Due to its presence, Ning Tao could not see any reactions to the spiritual materials in the tripod.

He spent more than half an hour refining the ingredients.

Ning Tao felt an astonishment in his heart. “This time, I have expended so much time and yet haven’t managed to refine the Ancestor-seeking Elixir. Perhaps it was because I have added new spiritual materials. But the incomplete versions of the Ancestor-seeking Elixir had also taken a lot of time in the past. If I collect all the remaining shards and refine them with the complete prescription, will it take an entire day and night?”

He did not know the answer to this question.

Since he was thinking, the spiritual ingredients inside the delicate perfumed tripod started to tremble. But Ning Tao had mastered the art of elixir refinement. He soon steadied the alchemy flame. But after another minute, a loud chime started to sound in the delicate perfumed tripod, and the spiritual fire ebbed away.

The refinement had ended.

When the spiritual fire completely subsided, Ning Tao went to the delicate perfumed tripod and stared straight into its bottom.

At its bottom, there was an elixir the size of a ping pong ball, resting quietly. It was as untainted as pure ice, glimmering with a faint, greenish light. A refreshing aroma like that of spring water wafted to his nostrils, creeping in.

Boom!

The Ancestor-seeking Elixir he had refined this time was too large and of a higher version. Before Ning Tao could touch it, his brain had already suffered an allergic reaction!

In that instant, he felt the scene before his eyes distorted, almost as if it were switching to another mysterious space, or an earlier time period! He had suffered allergic reactions with the Ancestor-seeking Elixir before, but they had never been so intense and real!

I rest within the womb, listening to the sound of the Way.

Dong!

He chanted the incantation once. The divine bell tolled and all his hallucinations disappeared.

Ning Tao immediately held his breath, extending his arm to take that Ancestor-seeking Elixir from the delicate perfumed tripod. The moment he touched it, the scene before his eyes distorted again. The feeling of being in a mysterious space or an earlier time zone was now even more intense and real!

I rest within the womb, listening to the sound of the Way.

Dong!

The divine bell tolled once more, and the hallucinations subsided again.

Ning Tao did not dare to be careless. He hurriedly kept this third version of the Ancestor-seeking Elixir into his small medicine chest. Then he put on surgical rubber gloves and placed the elixir on a prescription pact. He carefully sliced the elixir into five portions.

He had actually only needed five: one each for Qing Zhui, Bai Jing, Yin Molan, Jiang Hao, and himself. But now there was also Tang Zixian. Since she had also wanted one, he could only slice it into six portions.

An elixir the size of a ping pong ball, sliced into six portions, each around the size of a cherry. One portion would be enough.

Ning Tao kept the five portions into five separate porcelain vials. Then he put them into his small medicine chest. After that, he took his portion and walked out of Sky Clinic.

It was not yet five in the morning. The sky was at its darkest. The alley facing Sky Clinic was quiet. There were no street lamps and the scene was pitch-dark. Not a human figure could be seen.

Ning Tao removed the rubber gloves on his hands. The moment his skin touched the new Ancestor-seeking Elixir, it started to react. His nose smelled the scent of this third-version Ancestor-seeking Elixir. Before a second had elapsed, his eyes had started to experience a searing pain. Then he lapsed into darkness.

This darkness was far longer than any he had experienced before. For a full ten seconds, his eyes could not see any ray of light.

“Am I… blind?” This terrible thought arose in Ning Tao’s heart. In this pitch-black darkness, he could not hear anything. He seemed to be the only one left in the whole world. Other human beings and their lives were now buried in the earth, or frozen in ice. A lonesome feeling assaulted his every nerve.

He could not help it, but the desire to chant Your Text surfaced in his heart. He wanted that divine bell to toll and dispel this terrible hallucination. But he soon suppressed this emerging thought. If a man had no courage to grope and walk in the dark, how could he attract true sunlight?

Suddenly, there was light before his eyes.
