Master of Ten Thousand Foxes-Chapter 117 - 90: Fire Lotus Planting Method, Alchemy Furnace and Popcorn, Psycho Senior Sister (Part 2)

Chapter 117: Chapter 90: Fire Lotus Planting Method, Alchemy Furnace and Popcorn, Psycho Senior Sister (Part 2)

"I’ve already thought of a solution."

Using the method of planting Fire Lotus in the human body, the Ancient Immortals had profound principles and complex processes, perhaps exhausting their wisdom. But while their wisdom was exhausted, Bai Mo’s wisdom was not!

Bai Mo has seen the flashes of inspiration in this planting technique and found new ideas for improvement.

The Fire Lotus requires borrowing longevity from outside, but it doesn’t necessarily have to be from the human body. Can it be from other sources as well?

...

Bai Mo sits on the bed, flipping through documents while jotting down his speculations.

Beside him, a group of fox apprentices either sat on the bed or piled up by the bedside, each holding a copper cup, munching on popcorn with a crunch. They chat in fox language as they eat.

Big Head leaned closer to his master, sometimes tilting his head, grabbing a handful of popcorn to feed to his master’s mouth.

But the master keeps writing and drawing on the tablet, jotting down words and drawing pictures. Occasionally, he erases something and writes again. Big Head doesn’t understand, but it feels impressive!

Finally, Bai Mo writes the last line.

"Almost done.

"Try it tomorrow."

...

Afternoon, the sky over Fox Mountain remains as usual, heavily clouded.

At the foot of the mountain, a giant tree rises from the ground, a blazing Pill Fire on its crown, swaying in the howling wind. It’s the Jade Food Tree.

On the huge tree branches, Black Shoes and White Gloves are carefully handling a bunch of bottles and jars, containers filled with various liquids.

Black Shoes finds a newly dug bug hole where the bugs inside have been caught and crushed, leaving only the unhealed hole in the bark.

Carefully, it aligns with the hole and pours the bright red potion inside, hearing the potion gurgle within, then smoke rises from the hole... The potion was just refined by the master this morning, now it’s modifying the bug hole!

Shortly after, the gurgling stops, the bug hole is modified, no longer smoking, instead rhythmically pulsing as if it were a human’s breathing belly.

The two foxes stare at it for a while, recalling the key points the master mentioned, nodding in confirmation, knowing it’s right, it’s this!

Thus, the bug hole on this tree has been transformed into a knock-off Dantian!

Pouring in some more yellow oily potion, inserting a piece of Wick Grass, and lighting it... A "whoosh", the long wick flame ignites!

"Ow ow!"

"Ying ying ying!"

The two foxes wave their paws in celebration!

Success!

Just wait two more days until the wick flame is brightest, then it can be transferred to the Fire Lotus.

The bug hole is close to the main trunk of the Jade Food Tree, sheltered by layers of branches and leaves, unafraid of being blown out by the mountain winds. But the two foxes clearly feel, the branch with the wick flame vibrates slightly... after all, the wick flame is absorbing the Jade Food Tree’s life force!

Black Shoes and White Gloves, with a crooked smile, reveal their sharp teeth.

The master said, this amount of life force to the Jade Food Tree is not even close to harming the roots. Giving it an extra month of fertilizer will be enough.

The two foxes pack up the bottles and jars, the containers, heading to the next bug hole. In fact, two hundred wick flames are needed, but for safety, they decide to light two hundred and twenty.

...

The summer has arrived in West State City.

The cicadas on the branches outside the window chirp "Zhiliao zhiliao", relentlessly.

Inside, Bai Mo is eating a portion of red oil noodles, with a meat-filled bun in his hand.

While eating, he turns on his phone, trying to check the forum.

But he sees a dozen missed calls on the phone, appearing urgent!

Looking at the caller number, he hasn’t saved it.

Who is it? What’s urgent?

Bai Mo thinks for a moment, puts down the meat bun, and calls back.

The call connects quickly.

"Hello, this is Bai Mo?"

"Hey? Bai Mo! I’m Teacher Chen!

"Why couldn’t I reach you by phone?

"In half a month, it’ll be the college entrance exam!

"You mustn’t forget!

"Let me tell you, the Immortal Technique Committee may be good, but you can’t lack education. Higher education is advantageous everywhere, including in the Immortal Technique Committee. With higher education, promotions and salary increases through titles, it’s all advantageous!"

Bai Mo pulls a corner of his mouth.

Probably the phone couldn’t connect, scaring Teacher Chen, afraid he wouldn’t take the college entrance exam, so as soon as the call connects, Teacher Chen fires like a rapid-fire cannon.

"Don’t worry, I remember, and I will attend."

Teacher Chen on the other end clearly breathes a sigh of relief.

"Haha, that’s good, that’s good.

"Do you want to come back to school for a few classes? Join a mock exam? Get back into the swing?

"Eh, never mind. You’re quite busy too, arrange it yourself.

"If you want to come back, give me a call, and I’ll arrange it for you."

Bai Mo quickly agrees.

Teacher Chen hasn’t seen Bai Mo for a long time, opening up the conversation box.

"Oh, you wouldn’t know, this period the principal bothers me every day to find you, asking you to take the college entrance exam.

"The principal said, you’re the face of No. 47 Middle School!

"Our No. 47 Middle School relies on you for the past ten years, everyone hopes you can get into Shangjing University."

Bai Mo grins, knowing Teacher Chen exaggerates.

In West State City, No. 47 Middle School’s teaching quality is mid-level, people still occasionally get into Shangjing University.

"Didn’t Senior Chen Anjing from two years ago do quite well?

"I remember she went to a top medical school at some university..."

Bai Mo remembers the senior sister.

When he was in first grade, the senior sister was in third, always ranking first, reigning over the honor roll.

The senior sister also performed at the school’s arts night, playing the cello! At that time, the senior sister wore a long gauze dress, sitting on stage in the hall, her slender fair hand drawing the bow, playing melodious music, truly a high mountain flower, an idol for many boys and girls below.

But when Bai Mo mentions this name, on the other end, Teacher Chen seems awkward.

"Uh... hmmm... this...

"This can’t be said!

"It’s not a good thing.

"Can’t say..."

While muttering about not being able to say, Teacher Chen naturally starts gossiping, seeming "can’t say" is a principle, but "gossip" is instinct.

"This Chen Anjing, this little girl, encountered misfortune.

"She went to Nantian University for clinical studies, was impressive at first!

"But it’s a bit odd, her strongest subject is anatomy!

"I heard she can dissect frogs and rabbits very cleanly.

"Muscles, bones, lymph, blood vessels, she can dissect them all well.

"That pair of hands, oh, fast and steady. Her professors thought they found a treasure, so happy! They thought she would be a genius surgeon in the future!

"But later...

"Uh, later, don’t know what happened, but was ordered to drop out.

"Our school’s honor roll also had her removed.

"The principal had a bad look for a long time."

Bai Mo furrows his brow.

Why does it sound like she’s someone involved with immortals?

He chats briefly with Teacher Chen, hangs up and opens the app for the Immortal Technique Committee, searches "Chen Anjing". Sure enough, he sees her name prominently listed on the wanted list!

Clicking in, there’s a special note.

[The case is extremely severe, easily causing negative societal impact, do not spread]

Extremely severe?

Bai Mo continues reading the case description, furrowing his brow even tighter, finding it hard to believe.

"This... is really sick, isn’t it?"

The senior sister dissected her roommate...

Reading further, he sees in the committee’s retrospective investigation, they found the senior sister showed abnormalities long ago. When she was very young, she abused small animals, exhibiting a passion for anatomy. After being caught once and sternly educated, this passion didn’t resurface again.

Based on various clues, the committee speculates the senior sister might not have stopped, possibly she committed again without being discovered. Or she had shown extremely high intelligence and strong counter-surveillance skills from a young age, able to evade adult supervision and punishment.

At the bottom of the file are photos from the senior sister’s case.

Unlike Bai Mo’s imagination, the dissection scene isn’t bloody or messy.

Blood is caught in a bucket.

Bones, muscles, organs, tissues... all neatly arranged.

But it’s this cleanliness that’s even more chilling, making Bai Mo unable to resist commenting.

"This is... really sick!"
