Open a Clinic to Cultivate Myself Chapter 290 Tianbao Weaving Method

Ning Tao placed the Soul-devouring Urn and Silvermoon Cherry fragments on the shelves. He already had a plan to refine The Whisperer watch using the Soul-devouring Urn fragments.

There was a reason behind such a thought.

A large amount of cloudy ore had been added to The Whisperer and could receive voices from the past through it. On the other hand, the fragments of Soul-devouring Urn contained a large number of resentful souls, which also had a quality of “the past”. After adding it in, it might produce interesting magical effects. As for what kind of effect exactly it might create, there was no way of knowing.

However, this would have to wait.

Ning Tao stood in the middle of the clinic, looking at the door of the Scriptures & Scrolls Store, which had already been opened. He then looked at the Elixirs & Equipment Store door, which had never been opened. He still could not decide which door to open.

He had never stopped being curious about what was inside the Elixirs & Equipment Store, which was why he still could not decide.

Ning Tao suddenly thought of something, hitting his own head and scolding himself. “Am I stupid? The ledger of bamboo slips granted me the chance to open one door. I would need 5,000 points to open the Elixirs & Equipment Store, which meant that I would be saving 5,000 points of treatment fees. Wouldn't I be taking a loss to do so since I would otherwise need 10,000 points to open the second door of the Scriptures & Scrolls Store?”

With that, he no longer hesitated and walked toward the Scriptures & Scrolls Store door. He pushed it open then walked in.

It was empty behind the first door. Even the wooden chest had been chopped up by him to make talisman paper. However, this space could be put to use, but Ning Tao had not decided what to do with it.

Ning Tao walked directly to the second door. He reached out and stuck his hand on the door, pushing it open.

“Clack, clack…”

The door had been opened.

What was facing him was an empty room of about 20 to 30 square meters. There was only a wooden chest placed in the middle of it. On the wall opposite him was another storeroom door, and above it hung a signboard saying “Scriptures & Scrolls Store III”.

Ning Tao was not surprised by this situation, but he was left dumbfounded. After opening Scriptures & Scrolls Store II, there was a Scriptures & Scrolls Store III. So after opening Scriptures & Scrolls Store III, would there be a Scriptures & Scrolls Store IV? Then would there also be V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, and X?

If that were really the case, then when would he be done opening them? A pessimistic estimate was that he would never be finished in his lifetime.

Indeed, when Ning Tao came to the door of Scriptures & Scrolls Store III and pushed it, it did not move at all. He then took out the ledger of bamboo slips, reading its instructions. This door would require 20,000 points of treatment fees to be opened.

Ning Tao grew very agitated, “20,000! Why don't you go steal instead! I've only earned 14,000 from killing Bai Sheng right? Do you know how dangerous that was, and how much time and expense it took?”

Nobody responded to him, there were only the echoes of his voice in the empty room.

Ning Tao spaced out for a while before returning to the wooden chest in the second room, lifting its cover.

Matters of the future would be left to the future. What mattered the most was to deal with what was immediate. Since he had already boarded this bandit's ship, then he could only steer it well to go as far as he could. As for whether the ship would sink, or when it would sink, that could only be left for fate to decide!

The chest was opened. Inside it was an old tattered book. Written on the cover were the words “The Clinic's Weaving Method”.

Ning Tao's heart skipped a beat, and he spoke to himself. “What the hell is Tianbao Weaving Method? Is it really going to teach me how to make fabric?”

He picked up the book and flipped open the cover page. On the yellowing pages were written such content: “This method employs heavenly materials and earthly gems as materials. First, the silk is extracted, then they would be made into bundles. Every 12 bundles would be able to produce seven feet of fabric.”

It was indeed teaching him how to make fabric.

But what was the point of learning how to weave fabric as the Sky Clinic's practicing doctor?

Ning Tao was baffled. He had to continue while suppressing the impulse to burn the book of Tianbao Weaving Method, but that impulse was gone instantly once he had flipped to the next page.

In the book was written: “The fabric produced by this method would be impregnable and invulnerable, and can even avert all things ominous and poisonous. It can be used to produce magic garments.”

Ning Tao smiled. “Isn't this a cultivator's bulletproof vest? If I learn this Tianbao Weaving Method and make some fabric into clothing to wear, then do I have to fear being shot in the back anymore?”

If he had such a piece of clothing, then he would no longer need to shield his face with the Unbreakable Fan. He could even perform the song “The Hero's Song” before his enemy who could be angrily shooting at him with an assault rifle or even a machine gun.

He continued flipping, and the subsequent pages contained the required heavenly materials and earthly gems, and the recipe as well as the runes that would require the use of blood and spiritual power.

Ning Tao discovered in shock that there was a spiritual material such as “spiritualized cherrywood”, which had immediately reminded him of the Silvermoon Cherry fragments he had brought back. “Isn't the Silvermoon Cherry cherrywood that had become a spirit? I have such a piece of spiritual material.”

He continued reading, then noticed there was the Flower of the Night, which he also owned. Subsequently, he had also found a piece of spiritual material known as the “Power Moss” in the recipe. His heart skipped a beat. Could it be the spiritual moss material that he had brought back from Shennongjia?

There were in total seven heavenly materials and earthly gems listed in the recipe. If that type of moss spiritual material was really the Power Moss, he would already have gathered three of them. He would need another four of the materials in order to weave the fabric and produce a “magic garment”.

After reading, Ning Tao placed the Tianbao Weaving Method back into the small medicine chest. He then took the wooden chest out. The wooden chest was also a spiritual material and could be used to produce talismans.

After leaving the clinic, Ning Tao arrived at the rental apartment. Qing Zhui and Bai Jing had yet to return, but he was not worried. Bai Sheng was already dead, so he could no longer be a threat to them. They had truly regained their freedom.

Ning Tao returned to the Sky Clinic. Taking the delicate perfumed tripod and rotten broken tripod with him, along with a portion of the Soul-devouring Urn fragments, he walked through the convenient door connected to the House of Sword Pavilion Cave.

He had already opened the door he should be opening. The “Tianbao Weaving Method” book was also satisfactory. Since the clinic would be upgrading and moving, and he was also not required to pay rent next month, it was time he took a break and properly studied how to upgrade The Whisperer.

After entering the House of Sword Pavilion Cave, Ning Tao headed directly to beside the spiritual field. The Flower of the Night and spiritual moss material that he had secretly taken from the Shennongjia primitives' territory had been planted in the spiritual field. It was a pity that the Flower of the Night would require a soil temperature of 86 degrees Fahrenheit, which was a condition that Ning Tao was unable to fulfill. Thus, the Flower of the Night in the spiritual field had already withered. On the other hand, the moss was less delicate, and looked like it was growing well. And next to one of them, a smaller one seemed to have grown.

“So are you the Power Moss?” Ning Tao looked at the lush patch of spiritual moss, as if he was asking a group of young children.

Of course, the moss did not respond.

Ning Tao squatted and carefully picked a small leaf off the moss, then placed it in his mouth.

Back in the day, Li Shizhen had written the Compendium of Materia Medica by consuming plants, and now he was eating the moss in order to verify if it was the Power Moss.

There was a sensation of warmth after the leaf entered his mouth, like the taste of chili. He was able to bear such a taste, since he was a Shan City native after all, so eating spicy food was not a big deal to him. However, as he continued chewing and with the juice of the leaf flowing out, the situation changed. He felt like there was a ball of fire in his mouth, instantly spreading throughout his body! Every vein in his body was flaming, every bone was burning, and even every single cell was like a lantern being lit up!

“Ah!” Ning Tao yelled, as he could no longer hold back. A puff of smoke came out of his mouth!

“Crick crack!”

An odd noise came from his bones. It was the reaction from his bones undertaking the impact of a certain energy!

“Bam!”

His Niwan acupoint trembled, and a special spiritual power was bursting outward, instantly suppressing the burning pain in his body. Yet, Ning Tao could see his biceps twitching uncontrollably, as if they were accumulating a sort of scary energy!

Ning Tao jumped up into the air, promptly punching a piece of rock that was much bigger than him.

“Bam!”

A muffled noise was made, and a crack appeared on the rock after Ning Tao's punch landed on it.

“Bang, bang, bang!”

As Ning Tao's punches rained down repeatedly on the rock, more and more cracks appeared, then finally, it exploded!

“Huff… huff…” Ning Tao panted heavily until the energy from the moss had been completely exhausted.

That rock had weighed at least a few tons, yet he had managed to punch it into pieces, while his fist remained completely uninjured, except for being slightly swollen. It was because he had the protection of the air sac of spiritual power. If he did not have the protection of the air sac, his fists would probably have been mutilated.

No more verification was needed. These spiritual mosses brought from Shennongjia were indeed Power Moss. In retrospect, it was no wonder that the primitives of Shennongjia had liked to eat them, and the scary strength of the primitives had probably been largely derived from the Power Moss.

“Would a magic garment including the Power Moss give me more strength?” Ning Tao could not stop himself from guessing, but he definitely did not want to eat the Power Moss a second time.

He still did not arrive at an outcome after thinking for a while, so Ning Tao had commenced the work of upgrading The Whisperer. He had added a bit of Soul-devouring Urn pieces into the delicate perfumed tripod for refinement. During the process, he realized that the remnants of resentful souls inside the Soul-devouring Urn had been “purged”, transforming into wisps of black smoke, and dissipated. Lastly, the Soul-devouring Urn pieces in the delicate perfumed tripod had also been melted into a slurry-like substance, which was the legendary spiritual slurry from the cultivation of high-level magic tools.

Subsequently, Ning Tao smashed The Whisperer watch, and added them into the rotten broken tripod. He then added the spiritual slurry to repair it.

Again and again…

What would The Whisperer become after this round of refinement and upgrade?

Ning Tao did not know either.
