Open A Clinic To Cultivate Myself Chapter 12 Sacred Needle To Nasty Diseases

The moon was dim and the city was lit up by a myriad twinkling lights.

Ning Tao ate something on the street and went back to his community.

The buildings in this community, built in the 80s, were outdated brick and concrete structures that looked gray and old. The community didn't even have a name.

Ning Tao's parents left him a house of 80 square meters. Ning Tao would go home during the summer and winter holidays, and on Sat.u.r.days when he didn't work.

It was just because the things left by his parents at home could make him feel the existence of his parents.

When he got to the door, Ning Tao's face suddenly turned cold.

The old wooden door was daubed with red paint, and a large "DEATH" was written on the wall beside the door.

The paint was still wet, and its strong smell filled the corridor. There were other odors.

Ning Tao got his mind down to the depth of the point between his brows. With a twinkling sting, hundreds of smells poured into his nose, including the smell of paint, cement, shale, wood, food, plastic, paper, people...

Soon, Ning Tao picked up a person's scent among the hundreds of smells. On reflection, he found its owner.

It was Zou Yulin.

Anger burned in Ning Tao's heart and his eyes were horribly cold. "What do you think this place is? How dare you come here to run wild! Zou Yulin, I'll let you lick my door and wall clean!" He swore in a low voice.

Then his anger slowly simmered down. Ning Tao took the key from the crack between the lintel and the door, opened the door and went inside.

The living room was small. The furniture and appliances were old, the paintings on the walls out of date, and the floor not even tiled, with just clean, shiny cement. This house looked as if from the 90s.

Ning Tao walked over to a small square table next to the facade wall in the living room.

There was a framed photograph on the square table. In the picture were a man and a woman. The man was handsome, and the woman was gentle and beautiful. They wore big red flowers on their chests and had happy smiles on their faces.

The couple was Ning Tao's parents.

Since he didn't want to see his parents' black and white photo, he put their wedding photo on the table. In the depth of his heart, his parents didn't pa.s.s away, and they were still in this house.

Ning Tao lit three sticks of incense, and kowtowed. "Mom, dad, I'm home. I have something to tell you. Please don't scold me. I won't go to the internship. I have a clinic now, and I'm practicing cultivation method... " He whispered.

After a long while droning, Ning Tao got up, picked up the small wooden box and went into his room. Then he put the box on the bed, opened it, and took out the nameless medical book that Chen Pingdao gave him, and the blue silver needles that he found in the clinic. After that, he began to study the art of acupuncture.

The chapter of acupuncture in the book was concise but profound and complicated.

Ning Tao lost track of time in the ocean of acupuncture knowledge...

Suddenly he remembered and realized something. Grasping a blue silver needle, he aroused the spiritual power.

Then the inky spiritual power swam restlessly around on the back of his hand.

Ning Tao tried to inject the trace of spiritual power into the needle. Unexpectedly, the spiritual energy slipped from the back of his hand into the needle as his mind moved a little to guide it.

Ding!

The silver needle issued a crisp ringing, and gently trembled. The words of the Sacred Needle to Nasty Diseases emerged on it!

Almost everything in the Sky Clinic had to do with good and evil and cause and effect. There was no word on the blue silver needle before. Evidently, the spiritual power from the evil energy had activated it!

Surprised, Ning Tao immediately took the needle and went out onto the balcony.

There was a cactus on the balcony. Ning Tao seldom watered it, but it was still full of vitality.

He stuck the needle on one of the cactus leaves, then pulled the needle out and carefully observed where the needle had struck.

The pinhole on cactus leaf quickly turned black and rotted! Before long, the whole leaf lost its vitality and withered!

Ning Tao understood instantly. "This needle is called Sacred Needle, containing the meaning of the net of Heaven. I drove it with the spiritual energy developed from sins of evil intention. In other words, the needle can be used to punish the wicked!" He a.n.a.lyzed.

The Sky Clinic not only had the means to cure people, but also had the means of evil. The Sacred Needle to Nasty Diseases was obviously one of the evil means. It was very important for Ning Tao, a beginner pract.i.tioner, to master the Sacred Needle to Nasty Diseases. After all, he must have the means to deal with the wicked. Otherwise, when the wicked, who signed the prescription pact for sins of evil intention, refused to execute the contract, how would he, the collector, collect the bill? With the Sacred Needle to Nasty Diseases, he would not be afraid of such persons.

There might be some people that didn't part with his ill-gotten gains.

Or Ning Tao met someone unwilling to atone for his sins.

Ning Tao could needle them with the Sacred Needle to Nasty Diseases!

Ning Tao cut off the dead leaf and went back to the room to continue with his acupuncture study...

It was another sleepless night.

The first light of the dawn dispelled the darkness, and a new day came.

Ning Tao made a bowl of noodles. After breakfast, he took the small wooden box, ready to leave. His immediate task was not to supervise Jiang Yilong to complete the prescription pact of sins of evil intention, but to find a good person with merits and earn a rent of merits of good intention in order to save 200 points of rent, and to practice.

Knock, knock.

Suddenly there was a knock at the door.

Ning Tao, who had just reached the door, made a small pause and opened the door. He froze at the sight of the one standing at the door.

Jiang Hao was here.

She wore a policewoman's broad-brimmed hat, a summer uniform— a short-sleeved shirt, trousers, and a pair of black low-heeled shoes. Instead of affecting her voluptuous curve of her body, such attire gave her an air of valor. Looking at her angular face, delicate features, and perfect long legs that were two thirds as long as her height, Ning Tao marvelled that what a bright and bearing woman she was!

Ning Tao's eyes watched Jiang Hao's and there was no sound for several seconds.

Finally Ning Tao broke the awkward silence. "Miss Jiang, how do you know I live here?" He asked with a smile.

"The registered permanent residence of the whole country is on the Internet. As a cop, I can easily get your address." Jiang Hao replied.

Ning Tao got out of the way and said, "Come on in, it's a little messy."

Jiang Hao went in the door and questioned, "The paint on the door and wall... Who did it?"

Just as Ning Tao was about to tell her that the culprit was Zou Yulin, he quickly dismissed the idea. Zou Yulin was Jiang Hao's uncle, so it was hard for her to handle this matter. What was more, even if Jiang Hao knew Roger did it, what could she do with him? Probably the best outcome would be for Roger to get one of his people to take the blame, apologize and clean up the paint. But that was not what he wanted.

"I don't know. I've offended a lot of people lately. But never mind. It's just a little paint. It won't scare me. By the way, what did you come to see me for?" Ning Tao changed the subject.

Jiang Hao took an envelope out of her trouser pocket and handed it to Ning Tao.

Ning Tao took the envelope and inquired curiously, "What is it?"

"Open it, and you'll know." Jiang Hao answered lightly.

Ning Tao then opened the envelope and drew a cash check. He started at the sight of the amount. "A million? Why.... why do you give me such a large sum of money?"

"You deserve it." Jiang Hao responded simply.

Ning Tao hurriedly returned the check to her. "No, I can't accept it."

Jiang Hao didn't take the check. "Hear me out. My mom asked me to give it to you. You cured my dad. My dad promised to kneel in front of my mom to apologize. He is sincere, and has returned the property that was transferred to my mom. It's ten million, and my mom said we couldn't have gotten it without you. It's her thanks to you, so take it." She persuaded him sincerely.

"No, I still can't." Ning Tao insisted on returning the check to Jiang Hao.

However, Jiang Hao never reached out. "What's wrong with you?" She blurted out anxiously. "You aren't taking the money for nothing. This is the money for your cure of my dad."

Helpless, Ning Tao suddenly tore the check into pieces and threw the pieces into the wastebasket.

"You... " Jiang Hao gaped at Ning Tao. She couldn't believe that a poor college student who worked part-time had turned down a million yuan that should have gone to him!

Having torn up the check, Ning Tao was secretly relieved. He liked money and needed it, but he couldn't have it. As the owner of the Sky Clinic, his prescription pact for sins of evil intention with Jiang Yilong was the medical fee. If he accepted the money, he was in breach of the contract. By then, the "medical fee" extracted from Jiang Yilong by the good-evil tripod would no longer exist. Besides, it was not allowed by the law of the Sky Clinic.

"Well, now we don't have to be vexed about a check anymore," Ning Tao said easily. In fact, he didn't have the heart to tear up the check. That was a million yuan!

Jiang Hao stared at Ning Tao, as if trying to penetrate his heart. "I have made your situation very clear. Why did you tear up the check when you needed it so much?"

Ning Tao smiled and replied, "You may treat me a high-minded person that money means nothing to me."

Jiang Hao gave a sigh of resignation, and said, "I've never seen anyone like you. Well, I'll keep the money for you and you can come and get it any time you change your mind."

"Let's talk about it later." Ning Tao replied.

Jiang Hao paused before going on, "My dad is having a party at the Hiding Dragon Club to celebrate his recovery. I didn't want to go, but he said he wanted to discuss with me to go to Beidu to see my mother, and specially sent me an invitation. I think I might as well go to the party. Can you come with me? I don't want to meet him alone."

Ning Tao thought for a moment and agreed, "Okay, sure."

Jiang Hao gave a rare smile, then walked over to the square table next to the facade wall and bowed low to the photo.

Ning Tao was a little touched in the heart, but he remained a calm expression.
