Chapter 355 - 211: Using All the Dusty Old Stock in the Warehouse
In the early morning, the sky above Fox Mountain just revealed the outlines of the overcast clouds.
The fierce wind swept up yellow sand, blowing across the thousands of acres of medicine fields.
Swish...
A car cut through the fierce wind, driving up and stopping next to the Purple Earth Dragon Medicine Field.
Bai Mo got out of the car, holding a computer, followed by Overalls, Black Gloves, and Black Star, heading toward the center of the medicine field.
"This... is worth a try..."
Suddenly, he frowned, noticing a hole in the medicine field that hadn’t been there before.
At the edge of the hole, a fiery red fox tail was gently swaying.
"Whose fox tail is showing?"
Overalls, Black Gloves, and Black Star all widened their eyes, following their master, tiptoeing forward to surround the hole, peeking inside... only to see a fox, head-down burrowing in, leaving only a small bit of its tail outside. Its paws were clawing, tangled with the purple roots of the Purple Earth Dragon.
Is this... Big Nose?
What’s it up to?
Trying to steal a taste of the Purple Earth Dragon?
Big Nose burrowing in the hole wasn’t trying to steal a taste... it was still hesitating.
If it just sniffed once, would it be able to find other Purple Earth Dragons?
If it only licked once, would that work?
If it must take a bite, taking a small bite, could it guarantee safety?
Could it just nibble a bit to fill the gaps in its teeth?
It hadn’t made up its mind yet when it sensed a hand reaching into the hole, grabbing the scruff of its neck, pulling it out.
"Aow?"
It was its master, holding its neck, lifting it up, cradling it in his arms.
It lowered its head, ears drooping, tail sagging, eyes evasive... why was the master here so early today? At the usual time, it wouldn’t have been caught!
Bai Mo frowned, rubbing the creature’s head.
"This...
"Sigh...
"No need to take such risks!
"I’ve already thought of a way to solve this problem."
Bai Mo put Big Nose down, himself sitting cross-legged by the hole Big Nose had dug.
He reached into the hole, pulling out a handful of Purple Earth Dragon roots.
"These Purple Earth Dragons, since they can be attracted by fertilizer, it shows they aren’t completely dead.
"Perhaps in a few hundred years, new sprouts could still grow.
"Let’s use them for research!"
The fox apprentices beside him leaned in, wide-eyed, watching their master’s actions.
They watched as, in their master’s palm, the Five-Colored Pill Fire suddenly ignited, engulfing the Purple Earth Dragon root system!
Whoosh...
The flame of the Pill Fire shot up, releasing a circle of hot air!
Yet, a few foxes clearly saw the Purple Earth Dragon root system in the Pill Fire, frozen, turning blue!
"Firstly, use the Pill Fire to reverse-extract the heat from these Purple Earth Dragon roots, slowing the molecular heat motion inside, making it easier to observe."
Indeed, Bai Mo intended to use the Pill Fire to simulate a cryo-electron microscope, directly attempting to solve the problem of Withered Grass Revives on a molecular level!
With his Sequence Seven Divine Sense, no matter how strong, he couldn’t observe the molecular level. Yet, the electron microscopes of the human world could do it. This inspired him... he could use the Pill Fire and Divine Sense to directly simulate a cryo-electron microscope!
His Divine Sense was fully focused, concentrated on the Pill Fire and Purple Earth Dragon roots in his palm.
His Pill Fire was fully controlled, the five-colored flames gradually blurring, turning into five-colored ink-like streams, washing over the Purple Earth Dragon roots in his palm!
The foxes nearby whispered amongst themselves, not daring to speak loudly.
"Ying ying ying?"
"Ow ow ow?"
"Ying ying ying?"
...What kind of Immortal Technique is this? They’ve never seen their master use it before?
But they all remained calm.
Of course, the master is the most powerful!
No matter what kind of Immortal Technique the master uses, there’s no need to be surprised!
...
Cold wind filled the dark grand hall, blowing against the Medicine Monkey Ancient Immortal’s Bronze Chair, lifting his long robe.
"...The third stage of concocting the Fire Consciousness Soup, the core is the Celestial Bright Grass; always note the changes in the Celestial Bright Grass’s form..."
He lectured earnestly, with Poison Master Wang E sitting at his feet, listening diligently.
Gao Shou died, and the scene at Meat Bottle Mountain returned to harmony.
When Poison Master Wang E felt dizzy, his eyes starting to wander, the Medicine Monkey Ancient Immortal stopped lecturing, reaching out to pat Wang E’s head.
"Take a rest, good disciple!"
Wang E nodded obediently.
But then the Ancient Immortal asked again.
"About Gao Shou’s death, I suspect it was due to a problem with the medicinal materials... ah, you don’t need to be afraid or tense!
"Good disciple, it’s not your fault!
"I checked all those medicinal materials myself and didn’t find any issues; how can I blame you?"
Wang E wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, his eyes moistening, his throat choked, disguising his fear as gratitude.
"Master... I..."
The Medicine Monkey Ancient Immortal waved a hand.
"Ah, don’t take it to heart!
"When you’re concocting the Fire Consciousness Soup, I will oversee more strictly!
"I want to ask you, about Gao Shou’s failure, what did you tell people outside? Didn’t tell the truth, did you?"
Wang E grinned.
"I only said Gao Shou was unskilled!
"About the medicinal materials, I didn’t mention a word!"
The Medicine Monkey Ancient Immortal grinned, nodding in satisfaction.
"Not bad, not bad, heh heh heh.
"My disciple was burnt to death; their disciples can’t live either.
"Everyone burns a disciple; that’s fair, right!"
Wang E nodded solemnly!
Professor Zhang, under the boss’s protection, was promoted to Sequence Seven, and he didn’t comment on that.
As for others, no one should think about advancing before him! He would guard the path for the boss, acting as the informant, ensuring they all get ruined trying to advance!
...
Beside the Purple Earth Dragon Medicine Field.
The Pill Fire in Bai Mo’s palm turned into five-colored flowing light, repeatedly washing the Purple Earth Dragon roots in his hand!
A few foxes nearby watched with wide eyes.
"Ying ying ying!"
"Ow ow ow!"
"Ying ying ying!"
