"Yes," one of his students said.

"Teacher..." the young man hesitantly said with sad eyes.

"What?" the old man asked.

"We'll probably hurt innocent people," the young man said.

"Yo, my junior fellow. Since when you have become so soft?" A person whose voice was as cold as a snake rang out. The person suddenly appeared in front of the young man. He was like a shadow drifting into the room. 

The young man didn't respond. He just looked at his teacher.

"Is it because of that girl?" the man coldly asked.

"Ahem, what girl?" the old man hoa.r.s.ely asked.

"Teacher, she used to be Yinghao's girlfriend. She's a very pretty girl," the skinny and tall man said.

"Really?" The old man took a sip of the water on the table. "Bring her here."

"Teacher, we are no longer together," the young man said.

"Why?" the old man asked.

"Because I went overseas without saying goodbye to her," Yinghao said.

"Oh, I see. Never mind. I hope you two will get back together," the old man said with a smile.

Yinghao was one of his favorite students.

"I don't think it will be necessary," Yinghao said.

"Really? What I saw the other day was quite a different picture. You are not over her," the skinny tall man said.

"What are you talking about?" Yinghao asked.

"Well, I won't mention it anymore," the skinny tall man said.

"Teacher, can I leave now?" Yinghao asked.

"Yes," the old man said.

After Yinghao left, the tall skinny man suddenly became serious.

"What is that girl like?" the old man asked.

"She seems to be nice," the skinny tall man said.

"By the way, have you done what I asked you to do?" the old man asked.

"Yes, it should take effect tonight," the skinny tall man replied.

"Good. Yinghao is still young. Don't take his words seriously," the old man said.

"I know, teacher," the skinny tall man said.

"Take this with you." The old man took a small porcelain bottle out of his pocket.

"Is this worm gra.s.s?" the skinny tall man asked.

"Yes," the old man replied.

"Teacher, I don't need this." The skinny tall man shook his hand. He knew how valuable the pills were. His teacher could only make a few of them every year.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

"Take the pills with you in case you are in a dangerous situation. Your own safety is the priority," the old man said.

"Thank you." The skinny tall man took the bottle with two hands.

Ahem! Ahem! The old man started to cough again.

"Teacher, shall we go to see the doctor in Miao after this?" the skinny tall man asked.

"There is no use in seeing him." The old man shook his head. "I know my own problem."

…

Inside another house in Dao, Sun Zhengrong was worried about Mr. Lin.

"Lin, how do you feel?" Sun Zhengrong asked.

"I'm not fully recovered, but I feel much better," Mr. Lin said.

He was also infected by the poisonous insects. He was much better after taking the decoction given by w.a.n.g Yao. All the poisonous insects had been expelled from his body within short period of time. The next step was to rest and eat well. It would take some time to fix the damage caused by the insects. It would be a long process.

It was much easier to damage something than to repair something. Demolis.h.i.+ng a house was much easier than building one.

"Have you found where they are hiding?" Sun Zhengrong asked.

"Yes, I've notified Captain Lin and his men. They should take action immediately," Mr. Lin said.

In the afternoon, the policemen in Dao launched an operation, which no one knew about beforehand. However, the operation failed. They didn't catch anyone. The house they ambushed was completely empty.

"How come? Where are the people?" The leading policeman was shocked.

"Well, we've been watching them outside. I'm pretty sure they went into the house and didn't come out," a policeman said.

It seemed the policemen had the wrong information. The person in charge was furious.

"No one was in the house?" Sun Zhengrong was also very surprised.

"I presume someone in the police department tipped them off," Mr. Lin said. "I'm guessing the person probably holds a high position in the department."

"So, where are they now?" Sun Zhengrong asked.

"I keep getting information from the gang members in Dao," Mr. Lin replied. "But, those people are ferocious. Even the gangster members are scared of them." 

"Increase the reward. When a high reward is offered, brave fellows are bound to come forward," Sun Zhengrong said as he smoked.

"I'll arrange it," Mr. Lin said.

…

Actually, the gangsters in Dao were already excited about the $10 million reward. People went crazy for it. Some people had already received part of the reward.

"Wow, man, is this serious? You got several millions for doing this?" a gangster asked.

"Yes," his fellow gangster replied. "This is really easy money."

All they had to do was provide information. After the information had been confirmed true, they received the reward which made them thrilled. The whole thing seemed to be unreal.

"Man, they've increased the reward," a gangster excitedly said.

"Again? How much this time?" the gang leader asked.

"Fifty! $50 million," the gangster replied.

Everyone in the room was shocked. Sun Zhengrong was right. When a high reward was offered, brave fellows were bound to come forward. Some people would do anything for money, even risk their lives. So, those gangster members went crazy.

"d.a.m.n, we can't get rid of those crazy b.a.s.t.a.r.ds," the skinny tall man cursed.

"Money could make anything happen," his teacher said.

Once the old man and his students were exposed, things went out of control.

A group of crazy gangster started to follow them. Dao was not really a big place.

"Let's go there," the old man said.

…

Meanwhile, w.a.n.g Yao was enjoying his time in Beijing.

"Where would you like to go?" Chen Ying asked.

"Anywhere, maybe some well-known tourist spots where I haven't been," w.a.n.g Yao replied.

Chen Ying drove w.a.n.g Yao around the big international city, which was ancient but modern. w.a.n.g Yao had nothing planned, so he wanted to travel around Beijing.

"Hey, can you take me to an antique shop?" w.a.n.g Yao suddenly asked.

He wanted to see if he could find acupuncture needles there.

There were a lot of visitors on the street full of antique shops, even in winter. There always were people believing they were the chosen ones with a light of ring above their heads. They believed they would randomly pick something extremely valuable and become rich overnight. Then, their life would completely change. However, nine out of 10 people usually spent a lot of money on some piece of junk.

"Hey, look at this, high-quality mutton-fat jade!" a seller shouted.

Mutton-fat jade? w.a.n.g Yao didn't know much about jade, but he knew aura. All valuable stones had a special aura. Precious stones had unique glamour, which could be either soft or s.h.i.+ny. However, this stone had nothing.

w.a.n.g Yao was in no hurry. He took his time to stroll around.

"What are you looking for?" Chen Ying asked. She was familiar with this place, so she could take w.a.n.g Yao directly to the right spots.

"Hmm, something related to Chinese Traditional Medicine," w.a.n.g Yao replied.

"Chinese Traditional Medicine?" Chen Ying thought about it for a moment.

She had never paid attention to items related to Chinese Traditional Medicine here. Most of the items for sale here were calligraphy and painting works, china and jade, which were common antiques. The items mentioned by w.a.n.g Yao were not that popular. Therefore, people normally wouldn't find them in an antique shop. Not many people were interested in items related to Chinese Traditional Medicine. The shop owners would probably fail to sell any of those items in one year, so they didn't usually have those items available in their shops.

"Yes, anything wrong?" w.a.n.g Yao asked.

"Oh, no, I've been here several times but never paid any attention to items related to Chinese Traditional Medicine," Chen Ying said.

"Never mind. I'm just going to have a look around. It would be great if I can find something I'm interested in. But, I don't have to buy anything," w.a.n.g Yao said.

The two of them took their time looking around. w.a.n.g Yao would stop when he saw something interesting.

What is this? w.a.n.g Yao noticed a book in an antique shop. The name of the book was Tai Shang Qin Scripture

"h.e.l.lo, can I take a look at the book?" w.a.n.g Yao asked.

"Of course, feel free to take a look." A slightly overweight middle-aged man handed the book to w.a.n.g Yao.

w.a.n.g Yao took the book and browsed through it.

"You have sharp eyes. The book is from Ming Dynasty. It was not written by someone famous, but it's an old book," the shop owner said with a smile.

He didn't exaggerate the value of the book. It was not written by a famous writer. Although the book was handwritten and the handwriting exhibited force and vigor characteristic of the writer, not many people would be interested in a book written by n.o.body. It would be pure luck whether the shop owner could sell it.

"How much is the book?" w.a.n.g Yao asked as he closed the book.

w.a.n.g Yao was pretty sure this was an ancient book. The content of the book was different to the similar books nowadays. 

This book was a Taoism scripture. It actually had another name, which was Yellow Court Interior Cla.s.sic. It belonged to one of the Taoism streams. The book doc.u.mented ways of staying in good health. It mentioned a lot about how to maintain organ function.
