Open a Clinic to Cultivate Myself

Chapter 70: Underwater treasure hunt

Views:

The mountains and fields are silent, and the bright moon is in the sky.

"I'll take you back." Bai Jing walked towards the Brabus G500.

Everything here is fake, only the car is real.

Ning Tao didn't bother to explain it, he just understood it himself. He also has secrets that he cannot tell. The White Snake Slough has been obtained, and it is indeed time to go back.

Wei Bai, who was waiting next to the car, opened the driver's door, then quickly walked around to the other side and opened the passenger's door.

Ning Tao glanced back. The white lanterns were swaying in the wind, and the antique buildings were beautiful. Thinking back on the previous experience, it was like a dream.

Bai Jing said with a smile: "You can't bear to leave now? Why don't you stay here with my sister to recuperate? When she recovers, you can leave here with her."

Ning Tao smiled awkwardly, not wanting to talk nonsense to her. He moved his gaze to the direction of the pool and changed the topic, "There is a pool below. I want to see it."

Bai Jing stared at Ning Tao, "Why do you want to go there?"

"You said that Qing Zhui needs to live in a place with abundant spiritual energy. The source of the spiritual energy here is in that pool. I want to go down and have a look." Ning Tao didn't hide it, and there was no need. Since Bai Jing can find it, This place is for Qing Zhui to recuperate, so she must know the secret of that pool.

Bai Jing was silent for a moment before saying, "Come with me."

Ning Tao followed Bai Jing to the cliff.

The pool is not big, it is in the shape of an oval, with no bottom in the middle. A small waterfall formed by mountain springs flows down from the cliff and pours into the pool under the cliff. The water roars and the waves surge. But the strange thing is that there is only water injected, but no water flows out.

Ning Tao stood by the pond and looked into the water. The water in the middle of the pond was bottomless, and he couldn't see anything at the bottom of the water. He then changed his method, quietly awakening the state of sight and hearing in his eyes and nose. After that, what he saw was different. In his sight, strands of spiritual energy continued to float out of the pool, and the scene was like a hot spring pool.

"The spiritual energy comes from below. Have you gone down to see it?" Ning Tao asked.

Bai Jing said: "I have been down there, but you have also seen that this pool only has water that is poured into it, not water that flows out. Below this pool is an underground river, a very small underground river, and the water in the pool is connected with the underground river. Yes, I can't enter the underground river." After a pause, she added, "But I guess there is a spiritual vein underneath, and I can't take it away even if I find it."

"Spiritual pulse?" Ning Tao heard this for the first time.

There was a hint of teasing in Bai Jing's voice, "I really don't know where you came from as a cultivator. Don't you even know about spiritual veins?"

Ning Tao shook his head, "I mainly specialize in medical skills."

Bai Jing sighed, "Okay, let me tell you. Mountains and rivers have spiritual veins, which connect the earth like rivers. Only then does the earth come to life, and then breed all things. They are the essence transformed by the aura of heaven and earth. Sometimes it’s hidden in rocks, sometimes it’s hidden in the mud of rivers, and it’s impossible to collect it at all.”

"So that's it." Ning Tao understood somewhat.

"But as humans destroy the environment, spiritual veins are becoming increasingly scarce. If this continues, cultivators and our demon clan may be extinct in a while. Spiritual energy is the most important training resource, so now The cultivators and demons have a strong sense of territory, and if you stray into their territory, they may attack you," Bai Jing said.

"So this is your and Qing Zhui's territory?" "Yes." Bai Jing said, "It actually took us more than a month to move here."

Ning Tao secretly said in his heart: "That mustache may have found the fragments in this pool before she and Qing Zhui moved here, otherwise Bai Jing would not have been able to find those fragments. If this is the aura emanating from the spiritual veins, Then where did Can Yan come from?”

"Okay, let's go. We have a meeting at our company tomorrow morning." Bai Jing said.

Ning Tao said: "I want to go down and have a look, is that okay?"

"What are you doing down there? I told you, there's nothing down there, just an underground river."

"I still want to go down and have a look." Ning Tao said.

Bai Jing frowned, "You are really a stubborn person, okay, you go down, I will wait for you on the shore."

Bai Jing stared at Ning Tao.

Ning Tao said: "I want to take off my clothes."

"Then take it off." Bai Jing said, still looking straight at Ning Tao.

Ning Tao, "..."

Two minutes later, Ning Tao, wearing only a pair of underwear, plunged into the pool.

The water in the pool was cold and pitch black beneath the water. However, after his eyes entered the telescope state, Ning Tao saw strands of spiritual energy emerging from the water. Based on the spiritual energy, he could roughly grasp the situation under the water.

There are several small holes at the bottom of the pool, and spiritual energy emerges from underneath the holes. Some of the holes are only as big as a fist, while others are as big as a basin. Even in the water, you can hear the sound of the undercurrent of the underground river flowing.

Ning Tao dived quickly. When he reached a certain distance, his eardrums buzzed. The water pressure made his ears hurt, and his head became dizzy due to lack of oxygen. At this moment, his Niwan Palace shook, and ripples of the spiritual energy field spread through his body and consciousness, like a tide overflowing the beach, and every cell was "soaked" by the spiritual energy. After that, his ears stopped ringing, his head stopped feeling dizzy, and more importantly, his body no longer felt like he was lacking oxygen.

When a cultivator dives, he or she is an oxygen bottle with abundant reserves.

Ning Tao continued to dive and soon reached the bottom of the pool. He squatted in front of a hole and put his hand into the hole. The water in the underground river was colder than the water in the pool, but it was not deep. He reached down for about a foot and touched the river bed, but the river bed was There's nothing there except sand and pebbles.

"Are there only those fragments?" Ning Tao felt disappointed. In addition to the purpose of diving to feel the spiritual veins for himself, his other purpose was to get the fragments of the remaining inkstone. However, the bottom of the pool was dark, and he had nothing but spiritual energy. Out of sight.

Boom!

There was a sudden sound above his head, and a stone fell, almost hitting Ning Tao.

Bai Jing was obviously impatient with waiting, so she urged him up in this way.

A stone as big as a fist fell into the sand at the bottom of the pool. A cloud of sand rose up, and a faint spiritual energy suddenly emerged from the sand.

"Huh?" Ning Tao's heart moved, and he swam over, stretched out his hand to move the stone, and then dug through the sand, and a piece of spiritual energy suddenly came into his sight. He reached out and picked it up, and with the faint light produced by the spiritual energy in his eyes, he saw that it was just a fragment of an inkstone!

Ning Tao suddenly became excited, and he dug his hands into the sand around him. Pieces of residual inkstone fragments that exuded weak spiritual energy were exposed from the sand...

At the edge of the pool, Bai Jing frowned after waiting for a while but saw no movement. She bent down and picked up a stone again.

Wow!

Ning Tao popped his head out of the water.

Bai Jing threw the stone back to the ground, "What are you doing down there? Staying there for so long."

Ning Tao said: "This is my first time to come into contact with spiritual veins, so I want to observe it. You go back first, I will be back soon."

Bai Jing said: "Are you so troublesome? Why don't we go back together?"

Ning Tao showed an awkward smile, "I want to change my pants, you wouldn't be interested in watching me change my pants, would you?"

Bai Jing smiled, "I'm interested in watching it. Can you show it to me?"

Ning Tao, "..."

A demon is a demon, not a normal woman.

"Forget it, I won't tease you anymore, otherwise my sister will accuse me again if she finds out. I'm going back first, and you should follow me quickly." Bai Jing turned and left.

Ning Tao climbed up from the pond, and the first thing he did when he came ashore was to put more than a dozen fragments of inkstones dug out from under the pond into a small medicine box.

He originally wanted to tell Bai Jing, but he recalled that Bai Jing hesitated when he mentioned that he wanted to come to the water pool. If he told her about the remaining inkstone fragments, she might not let him take them away. Nowadays, cultivation resources are scarce, and cultivators, demons, etc. have a strong sense of territoriality. In this case, it is really possible for her to "confiscate" the remaining inkstone fragments.

But this isn’t considered stealing, right

This pool has existed since ancient times, and she has only been here for more than a month to dominate the mountain.

Ning Tao felt relieved after thinking about it and made such a decision. After collecting the fragments of the inkstone, he took off his underwear and put on his clothes. After getting dressed, he originally wanted to throw away the wet underwear, but when he thought that this was a training ground for others, it would be indecent for him to throw a pair of underwear here. Then he put the underwear into the small medicine box, and then leave.

Returning along the original route, Bai Jing sent Ning Tao to the gate of the community where Jiang Hao's home was located.

Ning Tao got out of the car and patted the door, "Thank you, let's go back."

Bai Jing looked at Ning Tao and said, "Be nice to my sister. If you bully her, I won't be done with you."

"Don't worry, goodbye." Ning Tao turned around and left. He didn't want to hear her nagging. She said the same thing several times on the way.

Bai Jing watched Ning Tao walk into the gate of the community. She smiled until she was out of sight and said, "Funny guy, my sister has finally come to the end of her hardships."

Ning Tao did not return to Jiang Hao's home, but climbed directly to the rooftop, opened the blood lock and returned to Tianwai Clinic.

When he returned to the clinic, Ning Tao couldn't wait to open the small medicine box and take out the fragments he fished out from the pool. There were sixteen fragments in total, and they were the same as the fragments he found from Mustache in Panjiayuan. They had irregular shapes and difficult-to-identify materials.

A few minutes later, Ning Tao put the sixteen pieces together and got half of the remaining inkstone. He then took the remaining inkstone that was barely glued together, and then carefully put the two parts together.

A complete inkstone was born.

It's just a barely complete shape, and nothing special happens when the two parts are put together.

Ning Tao stared at the inkstone, thinking in his mind, "I don't know what kind of magic weapon you are. I hope you can give me an answer after you repair it."

He had the idea of refining the whole inkstone with the broken cauldron right away, but when he was treating Qing Zhui, he consumed too much, and he really didn't have the energy to do it again, so he gave up after thinking about it. He stopped picking places and fell on the floor of the clinic and fell asleep.
