Chapter 385: Chapter 224: Celestial Immortal’s Weapon of Slaughter, or Wine Vessel? (2)

Three foxes lay on the bronze plate, their fox claws pawing at the seeds one by one. They sniffed with their noses, stared with big eyes, and even wanted to pop one into their mouths for a bite, but Bai Mo hurriedly stopped them. In the end, they picked the biggest, roundest, and fullest one, happily running away with it.

After they left, Big and Small Eyes and White Eye Circle, three more foxes, came running over, also wanting to pick seeds.

The three foxes picked up each seed to take a look. Big eyes looked, small eyes looked, big eyes glared at small eyes, and they looked together.

"Yan?"

"Ow?"

Actually, they couldn’t tell any difference either.

But since the last group picked a seed, they followed suit... the necessary procedures had to be done, or else they would seem unprofessional.

Bai Mo, standing by, patted Big and Small Eyes’ heads, rubbed White Eye Circle’s neck, and grinned.

"Pick one you like!

"After taking it back, cultivate it well.

"Different levels of cultivation will result in Wine Vessel Flowers with different levels of development."

After they left, Peach Blossom Eyes, Black Star, and White Tail also gathered over to start selecting seeds.

Furry fox claws picked up seed after seed, looking left and right with serious expressions, nodding occasionally, shaking their heads in a very professional, knowledgeable manner... even though they couldn’t discern anything, all seeds looked the same to them. Yet, they still put on the air of experts.

Bai Mo rubbed Peach Blossom Eyes’ chubby cheeks and patted Black Star’s shoulder.

"To plant this, you’ll need a lot of different fertilizers and a variety of pest control medicines.

"I’ll give you a rough outline later.

"As for fertilizers and insecticides, we will supply them generously, just use them as you please."

Group after group of disciples came, pretending to be professional, choosing the seed they found pleasing among the identical ones.

Nearing bedtime, all three hundred seeds had been picked.

The foxes gathered around the bed, listening to their master’s planting instructions.

"First, dig a hole, bury some soil, count to one, two, three, four, five.

"After counting, water it, then press down the soil..."

As the master spoke, the foxes with seeds perked their ears, listening intently.

The foxes without seeds were mostly too busy with work recently, unable to spare time to care for their Wine Vessel Flower seeds, looking on with envy.

...

The sky over West State City turned gloomy again, drizzling with autumn rain.

In the office, Fang Xiaoyu, brimming with pride, tore open a courier package while speaking to White Belt squatting on the desk.

"Yesterday, after eating that date, I slept extremely well at night.

"This morning I overslept, afraid of being late for work. I ran out without putting on makeup.

"Then just now in the lobby downstairs, Xiaoli and Xiaoliu stopped me, asking what kind of makeup I used for such a good and natural effect... hehehe!"

Fang Xiaoyu started to grin as she spoke.

White Belt held its head high, looking proud.

The Jade Dates from Fox Mountain indeed have amazing effects! They just don’t taste very good...

Fang Xiaoyu had already opened the package and shook out a red knitted sweater.

"Come, try it on!"

At the nearby big desk, Bai Mo was clattering on the keyboard, entering his recently crafted solution into the computer.

"Looks like this Qu Hailou project is about to wrap up.

"I guess they won’t give me any more tasks afterward."

After typing out the final explanation, Bai Mo did a final check and then sent the plan to Qu Hailou.

He picked up his hot tea next to him, just took a sip when his Spiritual Sense tingled... Poison Master Wang E sent a message again!

"Is there movement in the Dark World?"

He glanced at Fang Xiaoyu and White Belt trying on clothes, then leaned back in his office chair, pretending to sleep, closing his eyes.

The vision switched to Wang E’s side, where rain was also falling outside the window.

Lines of words were being written swiftly on the notebook on the desk.

[Recently, a lot of valuable medicinal materials have been flowing at the herb collection center I am at]

[Based on the Ancient Immortal’s tone, I suspect some Ancient Immortals have reached an agreement]

[The Dark Side will send several Sequence Seven to destroy the North Suburb Base of West State]

[Ancient Immortals without Sequence Seven disciples will compensate the disciples of working Ancient Immortals with valuable medicinal materials]

Oh?

Bai Mo pondered, finding it quite reasonable!

The North Suburb Base of West State protects all small cities, almost opposing all Ancient Immortals.

Now the Ancient Immortals are teaming up to eliminate it, naturally, some will contribute effort, while others contribute money.

For the base, this is bad news... this means the enemy’s destructive blow is already being planned!

For Bai Mo, this is good news... this means the Sequence Seven delivery he wanted is already out of the warehouse!

"Just not sure if the Committee got the news?

"Have they started taking action?" 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Bai Mo smacked his lips, suddenly thinking.

"Wang E, this guy, is pretty useful actually.

"Being in an important position, having a quick mind, understanding things from small clues, and able to gather information from Ancient Immortals.

"Having him is equivalent to having an ear on the Dark Side."

Just about to cut the link, but saw Wang E writing continuously, adding another line question.

[Can you guide me on how to preserve the Orange Peel Cordyceps Flower?]

...

The rain outside kept pattering.

Poison Master Wang E sat at the desk, one hand supporting a strange plant with eyes and a mouth, the other writing down his question in the notebook.

His hand, slightly trembling.

It was his first time asking the boss for help with a personal matter!

"Is this... okay..."

Technically speaking, it’s not that personal... a batch of Orange Peel Cordyceps Flowers, Sequence Eight’s high-grade medicinal material, was stored in his warehouse. This kind of medicinal material is so rare, when he stored it by Ancient Immortal’s method, it started to release moisture, almost rotting, cannot be preserved!

This is quite embarrassing... he cannot ask the Ancient Immortal again, Medicine Monkey Ancient Immortal is too prideful, asking him would be like saying Medicine Monkey Ancient Immortal’s method was wrong, which would offend him... he knows clearly it shouldn’t be done!

But, several Soup Men at Sequence Eight in the Dark Association are eyeing his position, always keeping an eye on him, wanting to pick on his work.

"This... sigh..."

He supported the flower with one hand, pen in the other, frowning.

Amidst his anxiety, suddenly he heard, the strange flower on his hand spoke.

"Squeeze a drop of lemon juice on it."

As the words fell, the strange flower shrunk back into his thumbnail, returning to a jade-green seed.

Poison Master Wang E was about to feel glad but sensed something was off...

"Lemon juice?

"Is the boss serious?

"Isn’t this wrong?

"I wasn’t asking about cooking to remove odors!

"This..."

...

By afternoon, the rain in West State City was getting heavier.

In the dry, warm car cabin, Su Yaoyao gripped the steering wheel, shifted gears, and released the foot brake.

"Expert Bai Mo, please don’t misunderstand.

"This time it’s for a proper task!

"Hahaha."

Bai Mo sat in the passenger seat, buckling his seatbelt and holding White Belt in his arms.

This time indeed, it was for a field inspection task.

But it wasn’t for academic expert Bai Mo, it was for Immortal Technique expert Bai Mo who brought an Immortal Beast.

"What task is this?"

"You’ll find out when we get there!"

Su Yaoyao pressed the gas pedal, driving out of the parking lot into the rain curtain.

As she drove, her bright large eyes glanced over at White Belt occasionally.

"Why does it seem... today... its head is bigger?"

The head got bigger?

Really?

White Belt stretched out its forepaw, feeling its head.

"Ow?"

Not bigger at all!

Bai Mo looked down, his expression turned peculiar.

It turned out, White Belt was wearing Fang Xiaoyu’s newly bought tight-knit sweater, flattening its fluffy fur. From the neck to the head, the fur remained freely fluffy, making its head appear bigger.

Su Yaoyao drove out through the West State University gate, giggling.

"So the Immortal Beast is wearing clothes now?

"I always thought it just had a lot of fur.

"Today, when it wore a tight shirt, I realized, it indeed has a lot of fur, but also truly chubby!"
