This was eerie, yet there were also signs leading to it.

Inside the allergic state to the third version of Ancestor-seeking Elixir, Ning Tao had already vaguely experienced the distortion of space. He was already very surprised to sense a slight distortion in time and space, and this time there was even a crack!

Could it be that the completed Ancestor-seeking Elixir really possessed the ability to manipulate time?

Ning Tao could not believe it at all. No matter how powerful the Ancestor-seeking Elixir was, it was only a type of elixir. How could a mere elixir manipulate time and space?

Yet, the seemingly stretched convenient door before him appeared very much like a passage of time and space warped together.

There was no flashback to the past, no lady in red. Only a warped crack.

Still, just when Ning Tao was overwhelmed with shock and clueless about what had happened, something inside the crack seemed to have moved.

“What is that?” Ning Tao’s eyes were locked on that moving thing, only seeing it clearly after a few seconds. His jaw dropped.

That was an ocean. Bright and clear, shimmering in the light.

A fish suddenly swam across the ocean and dropped a silver scale, disappearing in the next instant.

Why was he seeing an ocean?

Moreover, the ocean was inside the crack and it was so close. He could even feel the salty and damp sea breeze blowing into his face!

Just what kind of elixir was the Ancestor-seeking Elixir?

It could turn humans into new demons, make new demons awaken their ancestry genes, and turn them into the appearance of their ancestors.

It could tear open such a crack, presenting an unknown world and corner of time before him…

Just like the Sky Clinic, it possessed an immense amount of secrets.

Just when he was deep in thoughts, feeling baffled, Ning Tao’s vision was gradually growing blurry. That ocean had disappeared, so did the crack. Nothing could be seen again. Right after, he felt a piercing pain in his eyes, he also felt mentally disoriented.

“Miss Ruan, hehe… Where is your pearl? Can I see it…? Hehehe…” Without a sign, losing control, Ning Tao blurted such improper words.

It was not that he was improper. He was behaving abnormally.

Previously, he needed to enter the Ancestor-seeking Elixir allergic state twice to reach such an “insane” state, but this time, it only took once. The fourth version of Ancestor-seeking Elixir including a lot of more spiritual materials was a reason why the elixir power had increased greatly, but another reason was that this deficient version of Ancestor-seeking Elixir had reached the level of “Grandmaster Elixir” with the help of the Spirit Gathering Pearl!

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

Dong!

The holy bell chimed. All desires and disorientation disappeared into thin air. Ning Tao’s mind and body returned to normal. He quickly held his breath and placed the Ancestor-seeking Elixir on the ledger of bamboo slips which was previously prepared. After that, he used the Blade of the Solar Eclipse to cut the egg-sized elixir into ten pieces of about the same size and placed them into small porcelain bottles.

After that, he picked up the ledger of bamboo slips and opened it to read the elixir recognition result.

Content appeared on the ledger: “Deficient elixir. Suspected to be a Gulin elixir of immortality. This elixir has an odd elixir quality, it can mess with one’s mind and make people fall into the path of demons, becoming new demons. This elixir also has the ability to warp space but it is still unclear. Other than that, elixirs can be used for medical purposes, curing premature aging, rejuvenating dry skin, turning white hair to black, replacing missing teeth. One needed to take it moderately. If one takes too much of it, one would fall into the path of demons, birthing new demons and increasing sins.

This was his second time using the ledger to recognize the Ancestor-seeking Elixir. The result provided by the ledger this time had many similarities with the first time and also had many differences. The third version could also be used medically. It could cure insanity and paralysis. Yet this time for the fourth version, the outcome was that it could cure premature aging, rejuvenate complexions, turn white hair to black, and enable the growth of new teeth. Yet, it was this result which had surprised him. If it could really cure premature aging, making fallen teeth grow out again, wasn’t this an elixir for rejuvenating youth?

Of course, this youth rejuvenation could only apply to patients with symptoms of premature aging, falling teeth, dry skin. For normal people to consume, it would not be an elixir that cured illnesses, but rather, would be a demon elixir that creates new demons.

Nevertheless, the biggest difference was——the ability to warp space.

These words were enough to prove that the crack, ocean, and that silver fish were no hallucinations! They were real!

If the fourth version of Ancestor-seeking Elixir already possessed the “ability of warping space”, then wouldn’t the complete Ancestor-seeking Elixir be able to manipulate time and space? If so, wasn’t it absurd?

Ning Tao spaced out for a while then left the cave with the refined Ancestor-seeking Elixir.

Sunrays passed through the crack at the top of the cave. When Ning Tao had returned there, it was night-time. Now, it was probably the afternoon.

Before Ning Tao had arrived before the thatched huts, Yin Molan, Jiang Hao, Qing Zhui, and Bai Jing had approached him. Howling Celestial Dog and Hu Xiaoji were not around. They had probably gone to Chen Pingdao’s home to play. Chen Pingdao was not around either.

“Brother Ning, how is it?” Yin Molan asked excitedly.

Ning Tao immediately threw him a small porcelain bottle then also gave Bai Jing, Qing Zhui, Jiang Hao each a porcelain bottle containing the fourth version of Ancestor-seeking Elixir.

Yin Molan took out the wooden cork. A sphere of blue elixir light containing red within was instantly released from the bottle. He was immediately stunned and finally uttered, “This red light… This is the Grandmaster Elixir!”

Even though he could not refine elixirs, he possessed knowledge of recognizing elixirs so of course, he knew what the Grandmaster Elixir meant.

Ning Tao said, “Not completely. Perhaps half-half. After all the elixir light is not pristine enough.”

Yin Molan was still very excited. “This is already very impressive. This is my first time seeing this level of elixir. I want to try its elixir power to see whether it can help me break through my stage of Core Formation. You guys continue, I’ll be leaving first.”

Ning Tao reminded him, “Don’t take all of it at once. The elixir this time is a bit big.”

“I know. Don’t worry.” When he said this, Yin Molan was already tens of steps away.

Qing Zhui said, “I’ll go back and try too.”

Ning Tao also reminded, “You too, don’t take it all at once. Take it bit by bit.”

Qing Zhui nodded and took the elixir back to her room. She was desperate to become stronger.

“Then I’ll go try too but I don’t know whether I’ll break through my Core Formation,” Jiang Hao said.

Ning Tao said, “You don’t have to think about the Core Formation Stage. Your situation is a little special, you just need to slowly absorb and refine your core power.”

Even though she and Yin Molan were both considered new demons, she was a new demon created by the Ancestor-seeking Elixir and was different from Yin Molan’s martial transformation into a new demon. The exact differences were unknown. After all, it had not been long since she became a new demon yet her powers were already so great regardless of her freezing abilities or face-changing abilities. Yin Molan did not possess the same qualities. Therefore, he had to keep observing and understanding to arrive at an answer.

“Then alright, I’ll go to the forest to try. I’m worried that I would tear the house down if I can’t control my powers.” Jiang Hao took the small porcelain bottle and headed to the forest behind the thatched huts.

Bai Jing said, “Sister Hao, aren’t you afraid I’ll take your man away if you leave like that?”

Bai Jing ignored Bai Jing and grinned at Ning Tao. “Honey, I trust you.”

Ning Tao smiled. He did not respond but Jiang Hao calling him “honey” had made him feel very pleased. They might not be husband and wife in practice, but they were at least husband and wife in name.

Bai Jing looked away from Jiang Hao and headed to her own room while saying, “Come with me, let’s talk in my room.”

Ning Tao hesitated for a while, “Can’t we talk here? There’s nobody else left.”

Bai Jing suddenly turned back and grabbed Ning Tao by his hand and pulled him to her room. Ning Tao could not do anything with her so he simply followed her.

Bai Jing’s room decoration was simple, a bed, a wooden bathtub, and a box of clothes. That was all. Ning Tao could not find any seats so he sat on her bed. Her bed was very fragrant, a pleasant and calming scent filled his nose.

Bai Jing looked at Ning Tao yet stayed in silence.

Ning Tao coughed. “Speak up, why are you looking at me?”

Bai Jing giggled and sat right next to Ning Tao. Her butt was almost right beside Ning Tao’s. “I’ll say it then.”

Ning Tao had intended to shift away but when she said that, he did not move.

Bai Jing said, “Here are my thoughts. Didn’t you spend money previously to remove the sins from Qing Zhui and Jiang Hao? But you can’t possibly earn merits of good intention from Qing Zhui and Jiang Hao, right?”

“Of course not. Continue.”

“My idea is actually very simple. I’ll look for some people who are sick but have no money for treatment or people deemed to be incurable by the hospitals yet still wish to live. I’ll give them money and have them do good deeds, making them accumulate merits of good intention, then you’ll show up to treat them and earn merits of good intention from them. What do you think?”

Ning Tao was not expecting that she would come up with any good idea but after hearing this from her, he suddenly felt enlightened. There were very few kind people in this world. It was easy to earn sins of evil intention but hard to earn merits of good intention. Nonetheless, with her method of deciding on patients first and growing them into people of great goodness, then having him to treat them, wouldn’t he be establishing a merit of good intention production line?

“Okay! This is a good idea!” Ning Tao smiled in excitement.

“You agree to it?” Bai Jing asked.

Ning Tao smiled as he said. “Of course. It doesn’t matter how much money we spend; your idea has really solved a big problem!”

Indeed it had helped him solve a huge problem. He had not dared to earn anymore sins of evil intention recently but his merits of good intention earning was pathetically little. To him, fighting the Black Fire Company and Genesis Biotech Company and unraveling the secret of Ancestor-seeking Elixir were actually not the most important things. The important goal to him had never changed and that was the clinic’s rent. Wu Yue and Nicholas Conway wanted to kill him, he would still able to defend himself with the clinic or hide, but he couldn’t pay for the clinic’s rent. After the upgrade next month, the rent would be 8000 good-evil rent a month. If he were to owe a few thousands, wouldn’t he be courting death?

“Are you happy?” Bai Jing asked.

Ning Tao was slightly stunned. “Of course I am. What do you mean?”

Bai Jing did not reply. She only took out a small book and a pen from under her pillow, opened it, and wrote on it: “Ning Tao owed me a favor again. The favor cost 1000 points. In addition to the two favors before, it is now 3000 points in total”.

Ning Tao was so stunned.

Bai Jing closed the book and smiled. “A year for a point. If you can’t pay it, you would have to accompany me for 3000 years. And that is only the basic amount. In the future, you will owe me more and more, and you’ll have to accompany me for a longer time. Are you thinking about the song “Love You for Ten Thousand Years” right now?”

What was left for Ning Tao to say?
