Open A Clinic To Cultivate Myself Chapter 308 Clinic Upgrade And Relocation

It was so silent inside the Sky Clinic that you could hear a pin drop. Good energy and evil energy were encircling inside the good-evil tripod. One was black, another white. They were mixing with each other yet remained so distinct.

Ning Tao sat silently on the chair behind the desk. The ledger of bamboo slips was spread open on the desk, but there was no content in it. It would soon be the time for clinic relocation. He was not able to be present in time for the previous relocation. This time he had to sit inside the clinic and personally watch it move.

“Will it be flying? Or burrowing into the ground?” Ning Tao had been pondering this question.

Ning Tao grew increasingly anxious as time went by, approaching closer to the time of clinic relocation.

It was finally time.

He stared intently at the ledger of bamboo slips but not a word appeared in it. He then looked toward the good-evil tripod, but at that moment, the good energy and evil energy inside the good-evil tripod was drawn away, disappearing in an instant.

Ning Tao then stood up, approaching the good-evil tripod. After which, he saw patterns that were mysterious and complex like the glittering lights on a river surface under the moonlight. Among them were also golden sparkles, making one feel that the good-evil tripod was no longer just a tripod, but rather, a microcosm with a vacuum s.p.a.ce and starry skies with countless stars and planets!

“Boom!”

A ball of blue smoke gushed out of the good-evil tripod, and the clinic was instantly filled in smoke. Ning Tao was also engulfed in this blue smoke. He widened his eyes but could not see anything. He reached out his hands to feel for the good-evil tripod close to him but there was nothing there. He did not manage to touch anything.

“Zzz, zzz, zzz…”

A continuous string of howling from the tripod resounded among the sea of blue smoke, like it was just beside him. But it also felt like it was in the depths of a distant universe, so unreachable that it would take millennia to reach there.

Ning Tao strode forward, thinking that he could probably touch the wall even if he could not touch the tripod. But even with that, he was not able to touch any wall after walking for a few minutes. He felt like he was walking on a land with nothing, and the ground was so clean that there was not even a piece of rock.

“Right… The ground!” Ning Tao squatted down and reached out to touch the ground below. But even with that, he was not able to come in contact with anything. He was just suspended in the air like that. He felt like he had walked hundreds of meters, but there was also a possibility that he had only been moving in the same spot!

It was spooky!

Suddenly, blue smoke was surging toward the center like waves. The surroundings resurfaced quickly. The good-evil tripod, walls, study desk, and the entrances of the Scriptures & Scrolls Store and Elixirs & Equipment Store, etc., everything was all present, just the same as before. Nothing had changed.

The face on the good-evil tripod was expressionless. Neither good energy and evil energy nor blue smoke emerged from the tripod.

Ning Tao looked over. The galaxy and stars inside had disappeared. All that was left seemed like ordinary patterns.

Ning Tao was suddenly reminded of something and hurried to the desk. He picked up the ledger of bamboo slips.

Contents appeared on the ledger: “The clinic has relocated; the upgrade has been completed. Rent is due in another 29 days and 22 hours. The rent for next month is 4,000 points of good and evil treatment fees. The available balance in your account is 6,346 points of good and evil treatment fees.”

He would be able to pay rent even if he did not make a single deal next month. Yet, Ning Tao did not dare to relax. He was only able to have his rent waived this month because he had eradicated Bai Sheng, but he would have to pay rent with real money next month. Having an available balance in excess of 6,000 seemed like a lot, but was actually very little. The clinic's rent was 4,000 points now. Most of his money would be used up in just a month. How could he be relaxed?

However, he had already gained the experience of earning treatment fees after running the clinic for so long. He knew what kind of people he could earn large sums of treatment fees from.

For example, loan sharks.

Just then, the inside of the good-evil tripod was glistening in gold. After every upgrade, it would be like that. It was also the prelude to it giving him things.

Ning Tao put down the ledger of bamboo slips and quickly went over to the good-evil tripod.

It was glistening inside the good-evil tripod, as if a prestigious figure of the spiritual realm was hiding within, and was about to reward him for being the hardworking worker he was.

Ning Tao was no longer impressed by such a scene. He organized his thoughts and established a mental connection with the good-evil tripod. A sea of shining words and graphics surfaced in his mind.

The grade three elementary cultivation method.

After these shining words in his mind had appeared and had been stored, Ning Tao revealed a hint of a wry smile. “I've already been to third grade. I should be going to high school next right?”

However, even though he was speechless, this grade three elementary cultivation method was indeed an upgrade from the first two. It could allow him to see the evil energy in people. The grade one and two elementary cultivation methods could only allow him to see if there was good energy released from people. After upgrading the cultivation method, he would be able to immediately tell whether someone was good or evil.

And that was still not its best benefit.

The best benefit was the refining of cores.

It was not referring to elixirs, but rather, his core. Once he had practiced the grade three elementary cultivation method to an advanced level, differentiating good and evil at once, and his alchemy fire would be more refined, he could cultivate his inner core at his own realm of divine sense. With that, his spiritual power would be much stronger and refined, and his combat power would be increased. What was even more important was that his treatment power would be significantly increased.

What level would he reach next after he had cultivated his inner core?

Ning Tao still did not know. The good-evil tripod had never indicated his cultivation level, and he was unable to measure his own powers using the system of normal pract.i.tioners. After all, he was practicing the clinic's way of cultivation. In other words, the way of Heaven was different from that of the normal pract.i.tioners.

After receiving the grade three elementary cultivation method, a few more big shining words appeared in Ning Tao's mind: Hundred Steps Needle Shooting Method.

The content of the Hundred Steps Flying Needle Method was appearing in Ning Tao's mind like snowflakes.

Ning Tao was so excited that he nearly cried. After being shortchanged by the scammer clinic for so long, he was finally given a method that could be considered incredible.

Just as suggested by its name, using Sacred Needles, it could be used to treat or kill people. Regardless of whether he was treating or killing people, he could use the Sacred Needles as a stealth weapon. Once he had mastered it, he would be able to use the Sacred Needle to Nasty Diseases within a hundred steps. Except, he did not know how long he would need to practice until he could reach such a level.

Besides, the needle skills, along with the pre-school scalpel method, did not bring about the largest increase to his combat skills, but rather, his medical skills. By combining the two, he could perform neurosurgery in the wilderness, or even surgical nerve repair!

Actually, no matter what he had gotten from the good-evil tripod, it was all related to medical skills. None were incredible cultivation methods. Even the elementary cultivation methods, Cat Claw Punch, Ladder under Feet, and Powerful Tolerance to Beating, were simply means provided to a doctor like him for defense. They were not for killing people.

After giving out the gift, the gold light in the good-evil tripod disappeared. White good energy and black evil energy emerged. Everything returned to normal.

Ning Tao could no longer wait to try the grade three elementary cultivation method. He immediately sat cross-legged beside the good-evil tripod and started cultivating his spiritual power.

The good energy and evil energy from the good-evil tripod was whiffed into his nostrils. The rate of absorbing and refining had been slightly faster than before. When he was practicing the spiritual methods, there was a slight burning sensation in his eyes, which was clearly a necessary process of gaining the ability to differentiate good from evil.

After rounds of cultivation, Ning Tao could not wait any longer to enter his inner world.

After every clinic upgrade, he would have to go take a look in his inner world in his state of divine sense.

The Niwan acupoint had grown bigger than before. Half was black and half was white, which were intertwined with each other, just like the yin and yang of the Taiji symbol.

That inner core at the size of a soccer ball was suspended in stillness right above the huge Taiji, emanating shreds of good energy and evil energy.

This phenomenon was surprising to Ning Tao. “It was not emanating any energy previously, so how did it start doing so now? I've asked this before. Qing Zhui's and Bai Jing's demon cores are only the size of a thumb. Yin Molan said that it was the same for his too. Isn't mine too big? It's even emanating gas as well. Do you think you are steaming buns?”

The inner world suddenly vibrated.

Ning Tao hurriedly organized his thoughts. His inner world stabilized instantly and did not eject him from it. Following that, he tried to enter the Niwan acupoint, which was the huge half-white, half-black Taiji.

Initially, he thought that his Niwan acupoint would transform into a grand palace, but he did not expect to have drawn a Taiji.

He had never been inside the Niwan acupoint, but according to the grade three elementary cultivation method, he would need to enter the Niwan acupoint, cultivating with the core in his hands. So, he had thought of trying out such a possibility. Even if he could not place the core in his hands while cultivating, it was still not too bad to experience the place.

Little did he know that the entire inner world would instantly “crumble” once he placed one leg on the huge Taiji. His divine sense had also been ejected.

He had given up on trying to enter. He had not managed to finish practicing the grade three elementary cultivation method, and his spiritual power had also yet developed to a point that was required. It would not work even he had tried another hundred times.

He looked over at the door of the Sky Clinic. It was time to face another important issue.

Where would the Sky Clinic be relocated to this time?

He walked toward the door, opened it, walking through it. What welcomed him was a small, narrow alley. Beside the steps was a utility pole with numerous advertis.e.m.e.nts pasted on it. Those were advertis.e.m.e.nts about treating infertility, or offering locksmith services. It seemed like a mess. As he looked down the alley, he saw traditional ancient courtyard houses on both sides.

Ning Tao suddenly looked up. A building that resembled a pair of pants came into sight. He was stunned.

The Sky Clinic had actually moved to Beidu.

There would be a new tyrant with every relocation of the Sky Clinic, but who would dare commit evil and have become a tyrant in such a place?

“Ring, ring…”

His phone suddenly rang.
