Open a Clinic to Cultivate Myself Chapter 166

Chapter 166 Fulfill the Wish to Be a Father
The diagnosis given by the ledger of bamboo slips was really beyond Ning Tao's expectation. He thought Barnes was not a good guy. Unexpectedly, he was a great philanthropist.

Barnes donated $8 billion to set up the Peace Foundation to help refugees in war-torn areas. In addition, he adopted 32 orphans. On these two counts alone he was worthy of the title of great philanthropist. There were a lot of rich people in the world, but who gave $8 billion to set up a foundation as Barnes did? By contrast, there were lots of rich people in Hua Country, and many of them had done charity, but they were mostly for show—some people donated one million in the hope of making 10 million. There were very few people who really harbored good intentions.

In addition, it was the first time he had seen that the ledger of bamboo slips gave birth dates on the Western calendar, rather than the lunar calendar. It was understandable—the west had no lunar calendar, and Barnes was white through and through.

Barnes leant in and looked at the ledger. Unfortunately, he didn't know the Chinese characters. His lips moved, seeming to want to ask Ning Tao what it said, but Ning Tao's “rules” made him give up. He shut his mouth.

Ning Tao closed the ledger and smiled at Barnes. “Mr. Barnes, you can ask me anything.”

Barnes paused a little, his swollen cake-like face full of confusion.

The good-evil tripod always treated the sick with a smiling face to the good and an angry look to the wicked. Ning Tao seemed to be influenced by it.

“Didn't you just say that I had to do whatever you asked me to do, and that I couldn't ask you questions?” Briefly stunned, Barnes confessed his confusion. Ning Tao's transition left him feeling a little uncomfortable.

Ning Tao smiled and replied. “It's different now. If you don't understand or are curious, I can tell you.”

Barnes thought for a moment and asked, “I want to know how you're going to treat me. You don't have any medical tools or medicines in your first aid kit.”

“I don't treat like other doctors,” Ning Tao replied cooperatively. “I'll write you a prescription pact. If you agree to the terms, you sign it. I will cure your kidneys and prostate, and this treatment will add 70 years to your life.”

Barnes was stunned, and then smiled, “Are you kidding me? I am now 60 years old, and in my condition I expect to live no more than a few years. You said I had 70 years to live, and in that case I would live to be 130. Do you expect me to believe you?”

However, Ning Tao said, “I'm telling the truth. My clinic will extend your life by 70 years. This is your reward. As the owner of the clinic, I will give you some compensation.”

“What compensation can you give me? Do I need your compensation? I started working as a shoeshiner, and today my assets have exceeded $10 billion. I don't lack anything.” Barnes gave a sigh, “God is fair to everyone. He gave me a brilliant mind and made me successful in the capital market, but he took away my ability to be a father. I've been having kidney problems and I can't get an erection. I am still unmarried and have no children of my own.”

His Christian faith and his lack of a wife and children seemed to be the reason he gave away $8 billion to set up the Peace Foundation. He knew he wasn't going to live very long, and he had no heirs. Then what was the value of billions to him? So he donated a lot of money to do something meaningful.

It was an accidental act that saved him.

Ning Tao had a brainwave and asked, “Do you want to have a biological child?”

“Of course!” Barnes blurted. “I like children, or I wouldn't have adopted so many orphans.”

Ning Tao smiled and said, “That's easy. I'll give you some devil's kidneys, and you'll get great sexual power after taking them. Find a woman who can bear a child for you, you can fulfill your desire to be a father.”

At his words, Barnes suddenly got up from the futon and walked to the ancestral temple's door, saying, “They may be right. You're a wizard, not a doctor.”

“Then you just think I'm a wizard,” Ning Tao said.

Barnes paused slightly, looked back at Ning Tao, and then he couldn't move his feet. In his sight, two clouds of black and white flames were rising from Ning Tao's hands, shaking and burning in his palms, but his skin was not singed.

Ning Tao put away the two clouds fires, took a Sacred Needles from his small medicine chest, and went to Barnes.

“What… what do you want?” Barnes was a little nervous.

“How many days have you not had a good pee?” Ning Tao asked.

Barnes shook his head and replied, “I don't remember. It's been a long time.”

Ning Tao plunged a Sacred Needle into Barnes' crotch and injected a spark of spiritual power into his body. The spiritual power healed him of the prostate gland, and the compressed urinary tract suddenly widened.

“Oh… Oh…” Barnes had a strange reaction, looking comfortable and miserable.

A minute later, Ning Tao pulled out the Sacred Needle.

Barnes suddenly hunched over his stomach, and got anxious. “I, I need to pee.”

Ning Tao glanced around, and then pointed to a corner. “Here's no toilet, so go pee there.”

Barnes could no longer resist and hurried to the corner. He unzipped his trousers. A stream of water poured out, with an astonishing amount, and in a straight line!

“My god! This is the best pee I've ever had in my life!” Barnes sighed, his face beaming with excitement.

Even rotten meat tasted good to the hungriest.

Only Barnes, who peed like a drip on an infusion, could experience the joy and happiness of a quick pee.

Ning Tao looked again at the blank spirit tablet. A few seconds later he reached the side of the shrine and took down the spirit tablet.

He found that the spirit tablet was not blank—there was a name engraved on its back.

When he flipped the spirit tablet and saw the name, Ning Tao's breath stopped.

The name engraved on the back was “Zhu Hongyu”.

But apart from the name, there was nothing special about this spirit tablet. It was only a piece of spirit tablet made of Phoebe zhennan.

Ning Tao's eyes scanned the spirit tablet of the Zhu family and found that they were all engraved with women's names. He didn't notice this before. When he suddenly found that the Zhu family's spirit tablets were all engraved with women's names, he was filled with confusion. “Why are they all women's names? Did…”

“Doctor Ning, forgive me for my offence.” Barnes zipped up his trousers and walked over to Ning Tao. “You are not a wizard, you are a true miracle doctor. I was treated at the best hospital in America, but they couldn't make me pee properly. You did it with a little needle. I've made up my mind. I'll sign the prescription pact. Write the pact. I can't wait for your treatment.”

Ning Tao was not surprised by Barnes' decision. He put Zhu Hongyu's spirit tablet back on the shrine, still facing the door with the side without words, and hiding the side with words.

It was true that there were secrets hidden in this ancestral temple, but it was not enough to find a piece of spirit tablet written with the name of Zhu Hongyu. He needed more clues, but this was not the time to look for them.

Ning Tao went back to his medicine chest, pulled off an ordinary prescription pad, and slung his medicine chest over his shoulder.

“Wait, Doctor Ning. I've already apologized to you. You will not leave without me, will you?” Barnes grew nervous.

Ning Tao smiled and said, “How could I leave without you? I'm your reward. I'm taking you to my clinic. I will keep my promise, and all you have to do is sign the prescription pact I write.”

Barnes relaxed. “I know. When the patient is in the hospital for an operation, the patient's family has to sign a consent form.”

Ning Tao put his index finger of his right hand between his teeth and bit it gently. Then, a trickle of blood appeared between his teeth. Then, squatting on the ground, he drew a blood lock on an ordinary prescription pad he had torn off with his bleeding right forefinger.

“Doctor Ning, what are you doing?” Barnes looked at Ning Tao in surprise.

Ning Tao didn't explain. After drawing the blood lock, he inserted the key of the clinic into the blood lock and gave it a gentle twist. An inky hole suddenly appeared in the void before him.

Barnes opened his mouth wide but couldn't make a sound.

Ning Tao took his hand and led him to the convenient door.

When the convenient door disappeared, the ordinary prescription pad with the blood lock fell to the ground from the void.

As soon as Barnes entered the Sky Clinic, the face on the good-evil tripod smiled. Its smile was merciful and loving, coming across very kind.

“What, what is this place?” Barnes asked, somewhat dazed. “Am I dreaming?”

“This is my clinic,” replied Ning Tao. “I'm writing the prescription pact for you now. If you think the pact is all right, you can sign it.”

“No problem,” said Barnes. He looked around, curious about everything in the Sky Clinic.

Ning Tao quickly wrote a prescription pact for merits of good intention in Chinese, and then he wrote the same thing in English on a regular prescription pad. Then he called Barnes to his desk and showed him the prescription pact translated into English.

“It's incredible! You know me so well. Is all this true? If I pay the so-called merits of good intention, I will live to be 130 years old?” Barnes looked incredulous.

Ning Tao smiled and replied, “It's all true. Are you going to sign for treatment?”

“Sure, why not?” Barnes signed the two versions of the prescription pacts for merits of good intention.

Suddenly a cloud of smoke from the good-evil tripod came to him and engulfed him.

Ning Tao got up and went over to the stone wall. Then, he turned the blood lock that led to the Sword Pavilion Cave, came to the spirit field, and picked three devil's kidneys. Then he immediately went back to the Sky Clinic. By the time he arrived at the Sky Clinic, the good-evil tripod had finished treating Barnes. Barnes was lying on the ground with his eyes closed.

Ning Tao opened Barnes' mouth and put the three devil's kidneys in his mouth. This was his compensation to Barnes. These three devil's kidneys would give Barnes great sexual power and fulfill his desire to be a father.

At this point, his contact with Barnes was over. Barnes would not remember Ning Tao when he woke up, nor would he have any memories of the Sky Clinic.

“Goodbye, Mr. Barnes. Hope you can continue to be a kind person after you are renewed.” Ning Tao picked up Barnes, who was lying unconscious, from the ground, and walked to the stone wall with blood locks painted on it…
