North of Panjiayuan, a road stretches forward, with antique courtyard houses on both sides of the road. People who can live in this area are either rich or noble.
A battery car came from the other side of the road and stopped in front of a courtyard.
This large courtyard house has two stone lions at the entrance. On the lintel of the red painted door hangs a gilt tablet with the words "God's Blessed Residence" written on it.
This is the home of Liu Jinyin mentioned by Zeng Xunlong.
"Here we are, right here." Ning Tao said.
Qing Zhui then let go of Ning Tao's waist and got off the back seat of the Tiandao battery car.
Ning Tao set up the Tiandao battery car, then came to the door, grabbed the copper door knocker and knocked on the door.
No one answered the door.
Ning Tao grabbed the copper ring again and knocked on the door.
"Who is it?" Someone answered this time, a young boy's voice, a little childish.
The door opened, and a young man wearing blue Hanfu stood at the door, staring at Ning Tao and Qing Zhui, his eyes full of vigilance.
Ning Tao said: "Little brother, we are here to find Mr. Liu Jinyin. Is he at home?"
The young man said coldly: "You must be mistaken, there is no one named Liu here." After saying this, he took a step back and reached out to close the door.
Ning Tao put his hand on the door to prevent him from closing the door: "Please wait a moment, Liu Jinyin can't live here, then does Liu Shiba live here?"
When the young man heard the name "Liu Shiba", his eyes flickered: "Who are you? What do you want to do?"
Ning Tao said: "I'm looking for Mr. Liu to make a deal. My surname is Su."
The young man said: "Whatever your last name is, you are so strange. I have already told you that there is no one named Liu here. You can leave. If you stop blocking the door for me, I will be rude to you."
Ning Tao didn't care and said with a smile: "Regardless of whether there is Liu Jinyin or Liu Shiba here, I brought a gift to the owner of this place. You give it to him." After that, he opened the small medicine box, He took out a small porcelain bottle from the medicine box and handed it to the boy.
The young man shook the small porcelain bottle, and there was a crashing sound inside. He asked curiously: "What's in it?"
Ning Tao said: "The elixir that prolongs life."
"Inexplicable." The young man muttered, but did not return the small porcelain vase to Ning Tao.
Ning Tao said nothing more and turned to leave. He got on the Tiandao battery car. After Qing Zhui climbed up, he turned the switch and left on the Tiandao battery car.
The young man watched Ning Tao ride away on the battery car, opened the cork, and poured out the contents of the small porcelain bottle. It was a small paper ball. After he opened the small paper ball, he saw a crystal clear pill and a phone number written on the paper.
On the way, Qing asked: "Brother Ning, I think that boy is ordinary, why don't you break in? If we want to go in, he can't stop us."
Ning Tao said: "Liu Jinyin is not in that courtyard. When the boy opened the door, I looked and he was the only one in the courtyard."
"Didn't Zeng Xunlong say that Liu Jinyin lived in that courtyard?"
"Zeng Xunlong's mission failed, and the tomb robbing gang was wiped out. It would be strange if Liu Jinyin didn't hide. He left a young man there to act as an informant. I believe the pill I gave him will be delivered to him soon. In front of me. He is already over 90 years old. I don’t believe he can resist the temptation of my pill. Wait, he will call me.”
"Is that Liu Shiba the evil boss here?" Qing Zhui asked again.
Ning Tao said: "I hope he is, but it's probably not him."
"Who could that be?"
"I don't know either." Ning Tao was actually at a loss. He hoped that the villain in Beidu was Liu Jinyin. In that case, the clinic's relocation mission could be easily solved, but his intuition and experience told him that this was not the case. The possibility is almost zero.
Returning to the rented courtyard, Ning Tao charged the Tiandao battery car, and then went to Tianwai Clinic to process the medicinal materials in preparation for the upcoming refining of the Xunzu Pill. The skull fragments obtained from the Cathedral of Our Lady of Flowers recorded more than a dozen kinds of spiritual materials. He had several kinds in hand, but there were still almost ten kinds missing.
There are only two ways to obtain these spiritual materials. One is to go to Shennongjia to collect herbs, and the other is to ask the organizer Fan Huaying to help purchase them. Fan Huaying has a large circle and knows many people. He has a way to obtain spiritual materials and helped him buy them once. He is quite familiar with the matter.
After dealing with the existing spiritual materials, Ning Tao made up his mind and dialed Fan Huaying's number.
"Ouch, brother Ning, what brought your phone to me?" Fan Huaying's voice was full of kindness.
Ning Tao smiled and said: "I don't go to the Three Treasures Palace for anything. I would like to ask my brother to help me get some medicinal materials. Is it convenient?"
"Look, you're being polite to me again, aren't you? Send me a list and I'll see if I can help you get it done." Fan Huaying's voice sounded.
Ning Tao said: "Okay, I will send it to you later, and then I will give you another five million."
"No, I'll give you a cushion first, and we'll talk about it after we buy it." Fan Huaying said.
Ning Tao said: "How can that be done? The medicinal materials used this time are probably very expensive. I will pay you five million first. You can help me cover the excess, and I will make up for it later."
"Well, if you really want to send me money, then go ahead. By the way, have you been in contact with Wushuang during this time?" Fan Huaying's voice sounded.
Ning Tao was silent for a moment before saying: "No, but I follow her public account. I know that she has been active recently and is busy filming. She is very busy, so I didn't bother her."
The fact is that he took the initiative to cut off contact with Zhao Wushuang. They called him several times, but he didn't answer. His love life is already messy enough, but if it keeps breaking up, it will become endlessly messy.
"I haven't seen her for a while. I asked her if the three of us can get together when we have time. In addition, I also want to ask you for a favor and let's talk next time we meet." Fan Huaying said.
Ning Tao said: "Okay."
After ending the call, Ning Tao compiled the spiritual materials that were not available in the clinic into a text message. He also added a dozen common medicinal materials and some unused spiritual materials, mixed them together and sent it to Fan Huaying.
He trusted Fan Huaying, but there was no guarantee that someone would not steal Fan Huaying's mobile phone information. He added a large number of ordinary medicinal materials and other spiritual materials to the list of spiritual materials needed to refine the Ancestor-Seeking Pill this time, so even if someone If you steal Fan Huaying's mobile phone information and use the list to refine it, you will get an incorrect result. What's more, the list does not indicate the amount and steps of refining, which is also an insurmountable problem.
Later, Ning Tao transferred five million to Fan Huaying's account. If he hadn't earned two million euros from Charlene Talman, he wouldn't have had the capital to ask Fan Huaying to help him buy spiritual materials.
Earning ten million casually is undoubtedly a huge sum of money for ordinary people, but for a cultivator, especially a cultivating doctor like him who needs to refine elixirs, it is really not a big sum of money. , which is just the money to buy spiritual materials once or twice. Therefore, the importance of developing spiritual material planting industry is becoming more and more prominent.
After transferring money to Fan Huaying, Ning Tao pushed open the door of the calligraphy library and came to the spiritual field that was moved from Shanzhong Temple. A blue snow lotus is planted on a spiritual field of more than ten square meters. It is a dark night snow lotus, a spiritual material that has the effect of extending life. The elixir he gave Liu Jinyin included a leaf of Night Snow Lotus. In order to catch that cunning old loach, he had spent a lot of money this time.
Although the Night Snow Lotus is missing one leaf, it is still growing well, and its aura is stronger than when it was found at the Yamanaka Temple.
Ning Tao walked around the empty spiritual field and said to himself: "Since I am studying the notes left by Professor Yade and learning the planting techniques of God, then why don't I move the spiritual field in Jiange Cave here? ? The two spiritual fields are combined into one, so I can manage them centrally, so I don’t have to go through the convenience door. "
After preparing to pay attention, Ning Tao immediately took action. He kept shuttling through the convenient door leading to Jiange Cave, and moved the spiritual field located in Jiange Cave and several spiritual materials planted in the spiritual field one by one. In the spiritual field in the calligraphy library.
This busy half day passed before I knew it.
Ning Tao was sweating profusely from exhaustion and his body was dirty, but his efforts also bore fruit. The combined spiritual field is approximately more than thirty square meters, taking up almost one-third of the space of the Sutra and Alchemy Library. It looks quite spectacular. But what made him most gratified and happy was that after moving to the clinic's space, the aura of the original spiritual materials had also been significantly improved. Including the white jade holy lotus that needs to grow in a "ray of light" environment, it is no longer so picky about the living environment, and it also grows well in the spiritual field.
Spiritual materials have strict requirements on the growth environment, but what kind of environment can compare with the environment in Tianwai Clinic? Ning Tao didn't even doubt that the night flowers, which require a ground temperature of 30 degrees to grow, could also grow in the spiritual field in the clinic. It was a pity that he had to dispose of all the night flowers because they could not grow.
However, it lacks the night flowers but has more other spiritual materials. Ning Tao sowed all the spiritual material seeds he collected from Shennongjia into the spiritual fields, believing that they would soon take root and sprout and turn into better quality spiritual materials.
The two spiritual fields were merged and the seeds were put into the soil. Ning Tao's spiritual material planting industry had begun.
When I opened the door and left Tianwai Clinic, the sunset had already sunk into the western horizon, and the sky was getting dark.
Ning Tao returned to the courtyard. The only ones at home were Xiaotian Quan and Qing Zhui, who were taking care of their children. Bai Jing was busy with the company and did not come back. There was no news about Yin Molan, nor did he know about the company investigating the company that provided the ancestor-seeking pill for the biological research institute. Is there any progress at World Biotech? As for Jiang Hao, he answered a call this morning and went to the Special Affairs Bureau to report it. He has not come back yet and the call cannot be reached. But this situation is also her normal situation, and he is not worried about anything happening to her at all.
Ning Tao entered the room, took off his clothes and went into the bathroom to take a shower.
A few minutes later, Qing Zhui came to his room and said through the bathroom door: "Brother Ning, it's time for dinner."
"Okay, I'll come and eat after I take a shower." Ning Tao said.
"How about I help you and rub your back?" Qing Zhui's voice sounded.
"No, no, no," Ning Tao said hurriedly.
Jingle bell, jingle bell…
The cell phone in his trouser pocket suddenly rang with an incoming call.
Ning Tao said: "Qing Zhui, the phone is in my trouser pocket. Look who made the call."
"Yeah." Qing Zhui responded and turned to get Ning Tao's cell phone.
Five seconds later, the bathroom door was suddenly pushed open, and Qing Zhui walked in carelessly.
Ning Tao hurriedly bent down and held a bottle of shower gel in front of him, feeling extremely embarrassed.
But Qing Zhui said seriously: "Unfamiliar number, could it be the call from Liu Shiba? Will you answer it?"
Ning Tao turned off the water, took the phone, and opened the answer button with one hand: "Hey, may I ask..."
An old-fashioned voice came from the phone: "Mr. Su? I heard that you want to see me. My disciple brought me your gift. I like it very much. I accepted your gift, and it can't be justified without seeing you. , let’s do this, in two hours, I will be waiting for you on earth and in heaven.”
"Earth and heaven?" Ning Tao had never heard of this place name.
"You can ask any old Bei and they'll know. Remember, you won't wait until late." After the other party finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
Ning Tao didn't bother to ask about Lao Beidu. He handed the shower gel bottle to Qing Zhui, then entered "Earth and Heaven" into Baidu on his mobile phone, and immediately saw the relevant information.
He was looking at his phone, and Qing Zhui was looking at him, equally attentive and interested.
A minute later, Ning Tao turned off the phone screen and handed the phone to Qing Zhui, only to find Qing Zhui looking at him with a red face. He suddenly realized something and hurriedly went to get the shower gel bottle, only to find that the shower gel bottle was in Qing Zhui's hand. Chasing hands.
He turned around in a hurry and wisely: "Well, we didn't have dinner at home. That Liu Shiba only gave us two hours, we have to leave."
Qing Zhui raised the corners of his mouth, raised the jade bowl slightly, and pressed the shower gel nozzle towards Ning Tao's back.
Biubiu…
