The mountains are silent, and the moon is empty.

"I'll send you back. Bai Jing walked towards the Babos G500.

Everything here is fake, only the car is real.

Ning Tao didn't bother to say it, he just had to understand. He himself has secrets that he can't tell. The White Snake has arrived, and it's really time to go back.

Wei Bai, who was waiting next to the car, opened the door of the cab, and then walked around to the other side and opened the door of the passenger seat.

Ning Tao glanced back, the white lanterns swayed in the wind, the antique buildings were beautiful, and recalling the previous experience was like a dream.

Bai Jing smiled and said, "Is this reluctant? Why don't you stay here to accompany my sister to recuperate, and when she is well, you can leave here with her." ”

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

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

"You said that Qing Chai needs to be in a place with abundant spiritual energy to survive, and the source of spiritual energy here is in that waterhole, I want to go down and take a look. "Ning Tao didn't hide it, and there was no need for that, since Bai Jing could find this place for Qing Chai to recuperate, then she must know the secret of that waterhole.

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

Ning Tao followed Bai Jing to the bottom of the cliff.

The waterhole is not large, it is an oval shape, and the middle is bottomless. A small waterfall formed by mountain springs cascades down from the cliff and pours into the pool below the cliff, and the water roars and surges. But the strange thing is that there is only water injected, but no water flows out.

Ning Tao stood on the edge of the pool and looked into the water, the water in the middle of the pool was bottomless, and he couldn't see anything at the bottom of the water. He followed in a different way, quietly awakening the eyes and nose to the state of seeing and smelling. After that, he saw something different, in his sight, the waterhole was constantly floating with wisps of aura, and the scene was like a hot spring pool.

"The aura came from below, have you gone down to see it?" Ning Tao asked.

Bai Jing said: "I have been down, but you have also seen that this pool only has water poured in, not water flowing out. Below this pool is a dark river, a very small dark river, and the water of the pool is connected to the dark river, and I can't enter the dark river. After a pause, she added, "But I guess there's a spirit vein down there, and even if you find it, you can't take it with you." ”

"Spirit veins?" Ning Tao heard for the first time.

Bai Jing's voice carried a hint of ridicule, "I really don't know how you came to be a cultivator, don't you even know the spiritual vein?"

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

Bai Jing sighed, "Okay, I'll tell you. Mountains and rivers have spiritual veins, just like rivers connect the earth, and the earth has vitality, and then gives birth to all things, they are the essence of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, sometimes they will be hidden in the rocks, sometimes they will be hidden in the silt of the earth and rivers, and they cannot be collected at all. ”

"I see. Ning Tao somewhat understood.

"But with the destruction of the environment by humans, the spiritual veins are becoming more and more scarce now. If this continues, I'm afraid that after a while, both the cultivators and our demon clan will perish. Reiki is the most important resource for training, so the current cultivators and demons have a strong sense of territory, and if you strayed into their territory, they might attack you. Bai Jing said.

"So this is your and Qing Chai's territory?"

"Yes. Bai Jing said: "We actually took more than a month to dismantle and move. ”

Ning Tao secretly said in his heart: "That mustache may have been fished out of this waterhole before she and Qing chased here, otherwise Bai Jing would not have been able to find those fragments." If this is the aura emanating from the spiritual veins, then how did the remnant inkstone come from?"

"Okay, let's go, I have a meeting in my company early tomorrow morning. Bai Jing said.

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

"What are you going down there for? I told you, there's nothing down there, just a dark 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 you take it off. Bai Jing said, still staring at Ning Tao.

Ning Tao, "......"

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

The water was cold, and it was pitch black underwater. However, after his eyes entered the state of looking, Ning Tao saw wisps of aura emerging from underwater, and according to the situation of those aura, he could also roughly grasp the situation underwater.

There are several small holes at the bottom of the pool, and the aura comes out from under the holes. Some of the holes are the size of a fist, while others are the size of a basin, and even in the water, you can hear the sound of the undercurrent flowing in the river.

Ning Tao dived down quickly, and when he dived to a certain distance, his eardrum "buzzed", and the water pressure made his ears ache, and his head was also dizzy due to lack of oxygen. At this time, his Mud Pill Palace shook, and the ripples of the spiritual energy field spread out in his body and consciousness, like a tidal wave overflowing the beach, and every cell was "infiltrated" by the spiritual energy. After that, his ears stopped ringing, his head stopped dizzy, and more importantly, his body did not feel deprived of oxygen.

Cultivator diving is itself an oxygen tank with abundant reserves.

Ning Tao continued to dive and soon reached the bottom of the pool. He crouched down in front of a hole and put his hand into it, the water in the dark river was colder than the water in the pool, but not deep, and he reached the riverbed after a foot or so, but there was nothing but mud and pebbles in the riverbed.

"Is it only those fragments?" Ning Tao's heart was disappointed, in addition to the purpose of diving down to personally feel the spiritual vein, there was also a purpose that was the fragment of the remnant inkstone, but the bottom of the pool was black, and he couldn't see anything except the aura.

Boom!

There was a sudden sound overhead, and a stone fell, almost hitting Ning Tao.

Bai Jing was obviously impatient to wait, and urged him to go up in this way.

The fist-sized stone fell into the mud and sand at the bottom of the pool, and a cloud of mud and sand swayed, and a faint aura suddenly emerged from the mud and sand.

"Huh?" Ning Tao's heart moved, and he swam over, stretched out his hand to remove the stone, and then cut away the mud and sand, and a fragment of spiritual energy suddenly entered his sight. He reached out and picked it up, and by the faint glow of the aura in his eyes, he saw that it was a fragment of a remnant inkstone!

Ning Tao suddenly became excited, and then scraped the mud and sand around his body with his hands, and pieces of residual inkstones that exuded a faint aura were exposed from the mud and sand......

On the edge of the waterhole, Bai Jing, who had waited for a while and still didn't move, frowned, and she bent down to pick up a stone again.

Crash!

Ning Tao emerged from the water.

Bai Jing threw the stone back to the ground, "What are you doing down there? ”

Ning Tao said: "This is the first time I have come into contact with the spirit vein, so I want to observe it. You go back first, and I'll be right back. ”

Bai Jing said: "You are so troublesome, isn't it good to go back together?"

Ning Tao showed an embarrassed smile, "I'm going to change my pants, you won't be interested in watching me change my pants, right?"

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, otherwise my sister will talk about me again when she finds out, I'll go back first, you hurry up and follow." Bai Jing turned around and left.

Ning Tao climbed up from the pond at this time, and the first thing he did when he went ashore was to put the fragments of a dozen remnant inkstones dug up from under the pond into a small medicine box.

He wanted to tell Bai Jing, but he recalled that when he mentioned that he wanted to come to the waterhole to have a look, Bai Jing hesitated, if he told her about the remnants of the inkstone, maybe she wouldn't let him take it. Now that the cultivation resources are scarce, the cultivators, demons and other things have a strong sense of territory, and in this case, it is really possible for her to "confiscate" the remnants of the inkstone.

But that's not stealing, is it?

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

Thinking about it like this, Ning Tao was relieved, and he 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 someone's treasure, it would be indecent for him to throw a pair of underwear here, and then put the underwear into the small medicine box before leaving.

Returning the same way, Bai Jing sent Ning Tao to the door of the community where Jiang Hao's house was located.

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

Bai Jing looked at Ning Tao, "Be kind to my sister, if you bully her, I'll be done with you." ”

"Don't worry, goodbye. Ning Tao turned around and left, not wanting to listen to her verbosity, she said the same thing several times on the way.

Bai Jing watched Ning Tao walk into the gate of the community, and didn't smile until she couldn't see it, "Interesting guy, my sister is bittersweet." ”

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

Back at the clinic, Ning Tao couldn't wait to open the small medicine box and take out the fragments he fished out of the pool. There were sixteen pieces in total, the same ones he had picked up from his mustache in Pan's homeland, irregular shapes, and indecipherable materials.

A few minutes later, Ning Tao pieced together sixteen pieces of fragments and obtained half a remnant inkstone. He then took the barely glued remnant inkstone, and then carefully closed the two parts together.

A complete inkstone was born.

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

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

He had the idea of refining the whole inkstone with the Rotten Ding immediately, but he consumed too much when treating Qing Chai, and he really didn't have the energy to do it again, so he gave up after thinking about it. He didn't pick a place anymore, and fell asleep on the floor of the clinic.
