Master of Ten Thousand Foxes-Chapter 130 - 97: Strange Black Oil, Forked Grass, Master Turtle Backed to the Wall

Chapter 130: Chapter 97: Strange Black Oil, Forked Grass, Master Turtle Backed to the Wall

The ten-minute break ended. In the bright and tidy office, Bai Mo and Wu Qingyun sat at the table, resuming their lesson.

Wu Qingyun pointed at her notebook with her slender fingers, her fingertips calloused from holding a sword.

"This question.

"I don’t understand the steps."

Bai Mo glanced at it.

"Well, it involves some mathematical technique with split terms. I’ll write it out for you to see..."

Wu Qingyun was very serious about the college entrance examination. She had accumulated many questions, which were being resolved one by one now.

Suddenly, Wu Qingyun’s phone screen lit up beside her, showing an incoming call from "Su Yuren," whom they had just talked about.

She glanced at it.

"Teacher, I’m sorry.

"I have a very important call to take.

"Can we pause for another ten minutes?"

An important call?

Bai Mo nodded, "Go ahead."

Wu Qingyun answered, and a soft girl’s voice immediately came from the other side.

"I almost caught Chen Anjing!

"Is the ’Heart Extraction’ technique from your Sword Immortal Path the one that involves severing the aorta, upper and lower veins, pulmonary artery, and pulmonary veins? Is that right?"

Wu Qingyun nodded.

"That’s right."

Bai Mo, standing nearby, frowned, feeling uneasy.

The connection between the human heart and the body is through these large blood vessels. Cutting these would disconnect the heart from the body.

So, this is what ’Heart Extraction’ means?

Su Yuren’s voice continued over the phone.

"The expert with me said the same thing.

"Chen Anjing has been cultivating ’Heart Extraction,’ killing many villagers in the mountain villages!

"But her ’Heart Extraction’ is still incomplete.

"A psychopath like her might strike again.

"We all need to be careful!"

Su Yuren didn’t waste words. She briefly relayed the information and hung up.

Wu Qingyun remained expressionless, putting away her phone, as if the intelligence hadn’t stirred any emotions in her.

She just looked at Bai Mo, opened her notebook, and turned a page.

"Shall we continue?"

...

Steam filled the bathroom.

The shower water flowed down her calves, washing away the bloodstains on her ankles, running over the feet, carrying black clots and diffused blood into the nearby floor drain...

Finally, the bloodstains were completely washed away, and the running shower water returned to clarity.

The bathroom door opened, and someone stepped out, dried off, put on a robe, blow-dried their hair, and tied it into a braid, finally arriving in front of the dressing mirror, reflecting a fair face... it was Chen Anjing.

She glanced at the cello case standing beside her, recalling the interrupted cultivation today, feeling irritable again.

"Why can’t I complete it...

"Was it because of the interruption?"

No!

That’s not it!

Before the Immortal Technique Committee arrived, during her interrupted cultivation, the severed aorta, upper and lower veins... something was off!

Sometimes, cultivation is indeed mysterious...

Finding the right moment makes cultivation doubly effective.

If the right moment is not found, no matter how much you cultivate, you won’t find the path.

"Should I consult Master Turtle again?"

Chen Anjing considered... to find Master Turtle again and have him perform a divination to find the most fitting moment for her cultivation!

She remembered that last night, Master Turtle had already been brought back.

She immediately changed clothes, preparing to pay a visit.

...

The sky over Fox Mountain was always overcast.

Amidst the howling wind, four foxes carried a sedan chair down the mountain road, running into the vast medicinal field. Eventually, they stopped next to the newly planted Forked Grass field.

"Hmm, has it already grown?"

Bai Mo stepped off the sedan chair, walked a few steps at the edge of the field, and observed the lush green Forked Grass swaying in the wind.

He remembered planting this thing two years ago, and the disciples were inexperienced, causing quite a hassle.

Now, the disciples were more skilled, and Fox Mountain had more soil-loosening decoctions, pest control decoctions, and nutrient decoctions... in just a few days, they managed to grow such a vast field of grass.

Upon closer inspection, these rapidly maturing Forked Grass grew insane numbers of small forks, densely packed, even more robust than those grown naturally!

The causality of Forked Grass only relates to its shape, the more forks, the heavier the causality.

Bai Mo looked at this batch of grass and nodded.

"This is quite nice."

He walked around, observing.

Black Shoes, the fox disciple beside him, kept looking at the master’s shoes... the master was wearing brand new black running shoes, while its hind paws were also black. By rounding up, it was wearing the same kind of shoes as the master. Thinking of this, Black Shoes couldn’t help but lower its head and chuckle.

Just then, a crisp sound of "crack"...

Bai Mo looked down at his new shoes.

Several fox disciples also looked at the master’s feet.

They saw the carbon plate exposed from the sole of the brand-new running shoes, bought with tutoring fees, cracked by a stone...

"Is it so fragile?

"Is the shoe defective? Did I just happen to get it?

"Or did I buy a fake?"

Bai Mo frowned...

"Whimpering!"

Immediately, a fox disciple rushed up and set a small stool, serving the master to sit down.

"Whimpering!"

The second fox disciple rushed up to take off the master’s shoes, showing the cracked carbon plate on the sole.

"Whimpering!"

The third fox disciple rushed up, dug out the culprit stone, and offered it to the master.

The fourth fox disciple, Black Shoes, slightly downhearted, nudged against the master, rubbing its head against him. The master’s new shoes, and its own, that had just been worn, were broken...

Bai Mo stroked the disciples’ heads, scrutinized the sole and the stone, and with keen Divine Sense immediately realized that the shoe was indeed defective! The carbon plate already had hidden cracks, this time completely broken by the stone. And the culprit stone, as luck would have it, was particularly sharp, with the sharpest point perfectly aligned with the hidden crack on the carbon plate.
