...This meatball is a new dish that the master just taught; Fox Mountain has never tasted it before!

White Tail extends its Fox Claw towards the glutinous rice cake sprinkled with sweet osmanthus.

"Aoo aoo aoo, ying ying ying..."

The rice cake looks quite elastic, it wants to grab it and feel it with its claw... but it cannot touch it yet!

The master hasn’t finished advancing yet and hasn’t come out of the side hall.

Today’s banquet is prepared to celebrate the master’s advancement. If the master doesn’t come out, no one can eat first!

...

Inside the side hall, the Alchemy Furnace’s fire is extinguished.

Bai Mo, dressed in a black sweater, sits cross-legged in front of the furnace, holding an empty bowl. His lips are wet, yet he has already refined the medicinal soup and drank it.

He sits cross-legged, eyes closed, his whole body rigid. Blood seeps slowly from his seven orifices, staining his face.

The faint scent of blood is swept away by the wind blowing through the hole in the roof, dispersing into the mountain.

Outside at the banquet, the fox disciples are also silent.

They smell the scent of blood, but they still follow the master’s instructions, sitting in their places, their eyes wide, casting glances towards the edge of the square, towards the side hall, towards that tightly closed door.

The master said, no matter what, they are not allowed to enter.

They suddenly start to shed tears secretly.

The dishes at the banquet are getting cold; isn’t the master coming out yet?

At this moment, a fierce wind rises between heaven and earth!

Swoosh...

Plates on the banquet table tremble with "dang dang dang" sounds.

Crispy potato chips are swept into the sky by the wind.

The surface of the glutinous rice cake quickly hardens.

Waves and ripples appear on the surface of the yangmei wine.

Rumble...

In the dark clouds striding across the sky, silver serpents glide, and thunder roars!

Crack...

In the distant warehouse, items once stored with Sequence Six inscriptions — stacks of Stone Slabs, stacks of Copper Plates, places of Great Tripods, bronze bells, small carts... begin to tremble, collide, and make sounds!

In the ruins at the back of the mountain, buried beneath unexplored earth, residual walls, ancient documents, and high platform Copper Pillars with mysterious inscriptions, they all begin to tremble and make sounds!

The foxes ignore the potato chips and meatballs blown away by the wind, with teary eyes fixed fiercely on the side hall next to the square.

"Awo?" 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

They suddenly see, at the entrance of the side hall, a cluster of half-dead withered grass actually turns green, begins to grow wildly, and at a speed visible to the naked eye, grows over a meter tall, half-concealing the entrance.

Meanwhile, the faint scent of blood in the wind also disappears.

They all reach out with their front paws to wipe away their tears, focusing intensely on the door of the side hall, waiting for the master to come out.

Master, come out quickly!

The potato chips and meatballs are being blown away by the wind!

The glutinous rice cake is also hardening, it won’t taste good!

...

In the side hall, the withered grass on the ground becomes lush and green, growing wildly, covering the floor of this side hall, submerging the copper basins and small buckets filled with medicinal herbs!

In the new grass, Bai Mo wobbly stands up, reaching out to wipe the blood from his face with the sleeve of his black sweater, a wry smile at the corner of his mouth.

"Such a sour experience..."

This feeling of a vast influx of knowledge flooding into his mind, this headache, this overwhelming sensation, hasn’t been experienced in a long, long time.

But, the advancement is successful; he is now a Master of Communication in Sequence Six of the Alchemy Path.

"This Ancient Immortal Dynasty also seems quite real.

"Sequence Seven Eight Nine barely counts as ’Human.’

"Sequence Four Five Six can be considered ’Master.’"

He grins and looks to the black Stone Slab beside him.

The Nine Kingdoms script on the monument, the third row, he can understand now!

It is unmistakably the text of Sequence Six in Alchemy Dao!
