Open A Clinic To Cultivate Myself Chapter 128 – The Incomplete Ancestor

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 s.h.i.+nsuke 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, “h.e.l.lo, 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 pa.s.sed in an instant.

The delicate perfumed tripod suddenly emerged a misty green light, like the aurora of the poles, with a trace of the golden of the sun. The light and the black and white alchemy fire of the delicate perfumed tripod mixed together, but they were separated and did not influence each other. It was an incredible spectacle.

Ning Tao exclaimed in the heart, “Elixir light!”

There was a book about alchemy called Explanation of Alchemy on the shelf in the stone house, which he scanned briefly, and in it was a description of “elixir light”. It was said in the book that there would be elixir light when powerful alchemists refined elixirs. The book had a detailed description of elixir light, and said that the primary elixir light was green, the better red, and then gold, and the best was spiritual light. But there was no description of the color of spiritual light, because the author had never seen it.

According to the description of Explanation of Alchemy, the misty green light should be considered as the primary elixir light. An alchemist who could produce primary elixir light was like a beggar's version of a luxury car.

He was slightly distracted in surprise, and the misty green elixir light spread and covered Ning Tao. Not only the elixir light, but also elixir odor. It was a magical, complex smell, and he felt as if Jiang Hao, Lin Qingyu, and Su Ya were standing in front of him, their smells filling his nostrils. In addition, there was the strange unique smell of the female bone of 100 years and the smell of spiritual soil. These scents blended together to create this unique elixir odor, so it was definitely amazing and complex to smell.

Both the elixir light and the elixir odor had some influence on Ning Tao, but he had experience. He released spiritual power with his mind, making his spiritual power ripple through his body and mind. The unstable black and white alchemy fire quickly stabilized. The misty green elixir light and the elixir odor were still in, but they could not affect him anymore.

After a few minutes, the delicate perfumed tripod quivered, and its buzzing rang out, gradually subsided and finally stopped.

“Is that the end? I thought it would take a long time.” Ning Tao was a little surprised. He looked at the bottom of the delicate perfumed tripod.

A crystal clear pill was in the bottom of the delicate perfumed tripod, half the size of a pigeon egg. It was colorless and transparent, but emitting a faint misty green elixir light. In the sunlight, the elixir light should be hard to see, but in this dark room, it was quite obvious, and could be noticed at a glance.

Its elixir odor was also obvious, as mysterious and complex as before. Smelling it, Ning Tao always felt like Jiang Hao, Lin Qingyu and Su Ya standing next to him, and it was the pure natural smell without perfume and clothes.

“Is it the Ancestor-seeking Elixir?”

Although it was clearly not a complete Ancestor-seeking Elixir, all the signs indicated that it was quite successful. After all, there was even elixir light. Then, what kind of elixir power did it have?

Ning Tao reached out and grabbed the Ancestor-seeking Elixir from the bottom of the delicate perfumed tripod. The misty green elixir light wrapped around his palm. It looked as if he was holding a green bulb in his hand.

The feeling of holding the Ancestor-seeking Elixir was completely different from the feeling of looking at it. Ning Tao felt like something was affecting his mind!

“It feels weird. Just like… like… something is waking up in my body. How does this happen? Can the Ancestor-seeking Elixir really wake up the information hidden in DNA?” Ning Tao guessed, amazed.

The feeling that something was waking up in his body got stronger and stronger. When it reached a certain intensity, Ning Tao suddenly felt a burning sensation in his eyes. Just after that, he suddenly saw a man standing in front of him!

The man wore a white robe, with white hair in a Taoist-style bun and white beard, holding a folding fan, looking like an immortal. He was standing right in front of Ning Tao, staring at him without moving.

Ning Tao was taken aback by him and stood back hurriedly, but the man still stood in the same place. His eyes were fixed on a direction, and he didn't make any move or even blink because of Ning Tao's movement.

Ning Tao stopped, his eyes falling on the folding fan in the Taoist priest's hand, and he was immediately dumbstruck.

The folding fan in the Taoist priest's hand was the Unbreakable Fan that he had mended.

It went without saying that this Taoist priest was the owner of this cave, Xuan Tianzi!

Ning Tao involuntarily glanced toward the stone house door. He buried Xuan Tianzi's body outside with his own hands. Even Xuan Tianzi's Unbreakable Fan was still in his belt. How could Xuan Tianzi be resurrected?

Then there was only one possibility—it was an illusion.

Ning Tao gave his head a big shake. As the spiritual power field cleared his mind and body, Xuan Tianzi disappeared.

“It was an illusion, not a real one.” Ning Tao said to himself. He took a look at the Ancestor-seeking Elixir in his hand, and the shock and confusion in his heart did not weakened because of the disappearance of illusion, but intensified. “Lin Qinghua's Ancestor-seeking Elixir turned him into a new demon. Yin Molan only gave him half of the incomplete elixir prescription, and he used modern science to make it instead of cultivating means. I saw all the contents on Zhu Hongyu's skull, and I used the cultivating means to refine the elixir. Then what is the Ancestor-seeking Elixir that I refined? How does it work?”

As soon as he took the elixir, he would know the answer. In fact he had the impulse to eat it in his heart. After all, its ability to unlock the secrets of human origins made it irresistible, not to mention the possibility that it could unlock the secrets of magic ancient age, and find the way to immortality. All these were irresistible temptations for him, a real novice pract.i.tioner.

But that impulse failed to overcome his sanity. As a natural go-between of good and evil and the owner of the Sky Clinic, how could he possibly eat a pill that might turn him into a new demon?
