Reinforcements arrived, including the Shan City's police and soldiers from the army. They sealed off the area for dozens of kilometers. Several search teams went into the mountains, but no news came back. Ning Tao didn't expect them to find Liang Keming and Lin Qinghua. How could they not be ready to retreat when they planned this? Maybe Liang Keming and Lin Qinghua were already on a plane leaving the border of Hua Country, or on an off-road vehicle heading for the land border.

Was it mutiny Liang Keming held Lin Qinghua, or Lin Qinghua actively involved in all this?

Ning Tao was confused, and he couldn't guess the reason for Liang Keming's defection.

The sun was setting and it was getting dark when Ning Tao left the arboretum after he finished the statement.

As Ning Tao watched the sunset sinking into the western sky, he sighed with emotion, "Is the world really going to change? Yin Molan said that no one in the world could create a magic tool, but I came across a new one today. What will the old generation of practitioners feel when they see such a magic tool?"

Jiang Hao walked to Ning Tao in a little awkward position. However, her injuries were almost healed. She wore a new combat uniform and still looked dashing.

"What are you thinking?" Jiang Hao asked softly.

Ning Tao withdrew his gaze, smiled, and said, "Nothing. Does your cut still hurt?"

Jiang Hao looked at Ning Tao with burning eyes, and said, "How could I be in pain when you, such a miracle doctor, here?"

Ning Tao avoided her gaze, and said, "Good."

"Orders have been given. The botanical garden is going to close. Liang Keming and Lin Qinghua are both listed as significant missing persons. If the search team cannot find them, a task force will be set up to continue the search." Jiang Hao changed the subject.

"Is the project of ancestor seeking closed?" Ning Tao asked.

"All the files are destroyed. Liang Keming and Lin Qinghua are gone. It is kind of closed. There may be plans to restart it, but that's in the future and I don't think it will continue now." Jiang Hao made a pause and added, "I've been ordered to go back to Beidu tonight to explain what happened here."

Ning Tao was a little surprised and asked, "Is it so urgent?"

Jiang Hao nodded, her eyes full of anticipation. "Don't you have anything to say to me?"

Ning Tao paused slightly. He knew what she wanted to hear, but he couldn't say it. Of course he knew she was a good girl and her burning feelings for him. However, he felt endless resistance in front of him when he thought that he was the natural go-between of good and evil, the owner of the Sky Clinic.

He was destined to punish all the wicked, which meant he was the enemy of all the wicked in the world. In this way, she would not only not get the happiness she wanted, but also become the target of the wicked. And, in a sense, he was also a murderer—he had executed Huai Kebing, and she was an agent. Isn't he lying to her if he agreed to be with her? He couldn't do it.


There was a sense of loss in Jiang Hao's eyes. The sadness spread through her body.

Ning Tao said, "Have a good trip and be safe."

Jiang Hao suddenly threw her arms around him and whispered in his ear, "What are you afraid of?"

Ning Tao's heart was filled with sorrow, but he pretended to be cynical. "The world is so beautiful. I haven't played enough. I don't want to fall in love so early."

Jiang Hao's body stiffened slightly, and she slowly loosened Ning Tao's arms that were holding Jiang Hao and dropped it.

Ning Tao didn't dare look her in the eye and strode away. "I'm going back. You go back. I've called a taxi."

Jiang Hao suddenly reached out and hit Ning Tao hard on the buttocks.

There was a loud snap.

Ning Tao looked at Jiang Hao in astonishment, opened his mouth and struggled to say, "Why...why did you spank me?"

"You've seen my buttocks. Can't I hit yours?" Jiang Hao replied confidently.

Ning Tao gave a wry smile, unable to refute.

Jiang Hao grinned. "Besides, when you said you hadn't played enough, it sounded like you'd been with someone."

The truth hurt.

Ning Tao opened his mouth, but he found nothing to say in answer.

"You didn't even dare to cut my pants when you treated me. You protect my feelings, but do you really know what I'm thinking? You may have a secret you can't tell me. It's all right. I'll wait. That's all I want to say. You may leave," Jiang Hao stated.

Ning Tao's lips moved, but finally he only nodded and turned to leave.

Jiang Hao looked at Ning Tao's back and didn't turn back to the botanical garden until he was out of sight.

Ning Tao left the road, walked through a mountain forest, and came to the place where he painted the blood lock. Then he unlocked the blood lock and returned to the Sky Clinic.

Everything was the same in the Sky Clinic. Black energy and white energy in the good-evil tripod was intertwined with each other, and the white energy had obviously increased. By treating the soldiers, he earned more than 100 points of merits of good intention, but he paid a heavy price. The Fine Primary Elixirs he refined was running out, and only a few were left.

The clinic was about to move, and he was faced with a new problem—he had to prepare for refining Primary Elixirs.

Paying for Fan Huaying to buy the material was a simple and convenient way, but Ning Tao didn't want to owe others. And it would not work out all the time because he didn't have the money to spend every time on those materials.

"Now that I have my own spiritual field, why don't I go to pick herbs and take some seedlings to the spiritual field?" The idea of picking herbs suddenly occurred to Ning Tao.

More than 10 minutes later, he arrived at Qing Zhui's cave. After he called Qing Zhui out and told her about the idea, Qing Zhui was happier and more excited than he was.

"I know a good place to pick herbs," said Qing Zhui.

"Where is it?" asked Ning Tao anxiously. "Tell me."

"Shennongjia, it has been a good place to pick herbs since ancient times," Qing Zhui replied. "My sister used to go to Shennongjia to get herbs for me."

"Let's go to the Wu mountain now," Ning Tao suggested, "over the Wu mountain is Shennongjia."

As a native of the Shan City, he was clear that the Wu mountain was within this city. It was so close to where he was that it only took a few hours for them to get there by car and boat. If he started now, he would be in Shennongjia by early tomorrow morning. When he got there, he could draw a blood lock there so he could travel to Shennongjia easily.

"You wait a minute. I'll go in and change, and then we can start," Qing Zhui said.

"I'll go back and get ready. We'll meet in front of the clinic," Ning Tao stated.

"All right." Qing Zhui turned back to the cave.

Ning Tao suddenly remembered something and asked, "Qing Zhui, do you still have that skin you took off last time?"

Qing Zhui smiled at him and said, "I knew you needed it. I've kept it for you. I'll give it to you when I get to the clinic."

"Is it the white snake slough?" Ning Tao was a little worried that it wasn't the snake slough he wanted.

Qing Zhui suddenly lifted up her long green dress, revealing her white and delicate belly, and asked, "Look, is my skin green? It's just like my sister's."

Ning Tao not only saw her belly, but also her white legs and briefs. He was speechless.

Qing Zhui went into the cave, and Ning Tao returned to Garden Street.

There was a motorcycle parked on the deserted street, with a man sitting on it. He was Yin Molan, who held his helmet in one hand and a file bag in the other, looking leisure, and seeming to be waiting for someone.

Ning Tao walked over and greeted, "Senior Yin, you can give me a call."

Yin Molan got off the motorcycle, handed the file bag to Ning Tao, and said, "It can't be explained over the phone. I think I'd better give it to you myself."

Ning Tao took the bad and casually asked, "What's this?"

Yin Molan replied, "Have you forgotten what you asked me to do? This file bag contains information about Tamao Takeda and his father and Crewe Arthur. Some of their secret information is hard to come by."

"Thank you. I'll look it." Ning Tao's eyes fell on Yin Molan's motorcycle and he had a brainwave. "Oh, Senior Yin, What is the speed of your motorcycle?"

Yin Molan replied, "It was refined. It's not exactly a magic tool, but it should be the fastest motorcycle in the world. It can easily reach 700 kilometers per hour. I even rode it at 750 kilometers per hour."

Ning Tao's jaw dropped in amazement.

A commercial jet could travel at 900 kilometers per hour. If Yin Molan's motorcycle could travel at 750 kilometers per hour, it was almost as fast as a jet. The fastest motorcycle in the world was known as the Dodge Tomahawk, which could reach 600 kilometers per hour, and now his motorcycle was faster than the Dodge Tomahawk!

"But, given the state of the road, 700 kilometers is just a performance data. In fact, it's only over 300 kilometers on the road. By the way, why do you ask?" Yin Molan asked.

Ning Tao smiled and said, "Senior Yin, I want to go to Shennongjia to pick herbs. I'd like to ask you to take me there, would you?"

"Are you going to pick herbs for Ancestor-seeking Elixirs?" Yin Molan asked.

Ning Tao replied, "Mainly to pick herbs for other elixirs, but if I encounter the herbs for refining the Ancestor-seeking Elixir, of course I will also pick them."

Yin Molan wore his helmet and said, "So what are we waiting for? Get on the motorcycle and I'll take you to Shennongjia in two hours."

"Wait a minute," Ning Tao said. "I'll get my medicine chest and tools for picking herbs, and Qing Zhui will go to there with me."

Yin Molan frowned. "I'm not cursing you, buddy," he said. "Why are you with a snake demon? Do you know what snake's nature is? It's prurient. You will destroy your skill and foundation. That would be a pyrrhic victory."

Ning Tao just smiled, didn't say anything, and went back to the Sky Clinic to pick up his things. No sooner had he finished packing than Qing Zhui arrived.

When the fighting demon and the snake demon met, they were not nice to each other.

At the sight of Qing Zhui, Ning Tao felt terrible. When she said to change clothes, he thought she would change into a suit suitable for activities in the forest, and never expected her to change into tight-fitting sports clothes. The material of the clothes was like a second layer of her skin, making some outlines so clear and hazy that he felt uncomfortable at the sight of her. What was even more outrageous was that she was carrying a large Louis Vuitton. She didn't look like she was going to picking herbs!

However, Qing Zhui solemnly took a small box out of her oversized Louis Vuitton and handed it to Ning Tao, saying, "Brother Ning, this is my snake slough. Here you are."

Ning Tao opened it and found that the snake slough had some damage, which was obviously related to her last injury, and that its color was not the same as what she described, but a little cyan in white. After all, in the state of demon, she was half human and half snake, with green skin. How could her snake slough be pure white? He did not care about it, thinking. "It is the snake slough anyway, which is infinitely more precious than the ordinary white snake slough. Maybe it meets the requirements of the Primary Elixir. I'll try."

Then Ning Tao put the green snake slough which Qing Zhui gave him into the clinic, then came out, locked the door and said, "Qing Zhui, we'll take Senior Yin's motorcycle to Shennongjia. His motorcycle is fast."

"Okay, I'll sit behind you," said Qing Zhui.

Ning Tao nodded. Given how Qing Zhui dressed, he really didn't want her in the middle. It was okay for him to get harassed, because he was used to it, but it would be bad for her to harass Yin Molan on a motorcycle.

Yin Molan gave a cold snort of disgust.

Qing Zhui pouted and said, "You're so stingy. I'll spit on your knife for the fare."

Ning Tao was worried Yin Molan would get angry when Yin Molan said, "Okay, it's a deal."

Ning Tao shrugged. The demon world was weird.

Yin Molan started the engine, straddled the rider's seat, and said, "Hop on, let's go."

Ning Tao got on the motorcycle. No sooner had he sat down than a hot, soft body came up behind him, close to him. In a flash, his whole body tightened.

Qing Zhui put her lotus-like arms around Ning Tao's waist and clasped them around his lower abdomen, then saying, "Hey, let's go."

The motorcycle roared and whizzed out.

All the three could not be killed by falling, so they did not have to worry about safety at all.
