Master of Ten Thousand Foxes-Chapter 171 - 118: Only the Two of Us Left in the Ward (Part 2)
What kind of magical twist is this?
Does it make sense?
"Hehehe, I just smelled the aroma in the hallway, and I'm craving it too.
"I asked the cafeteria to make some, let's taste it together and see if it's authentic!"
Amidst the laughter, the chubby Wang Yuanbao peeked his head in from outside the door.
"Don't be shy, this hospital is owned by my family. Consider it your home while you're here.
"Come, let's eat together!"
The hospital is owned by his family?
Everyone recalls... Lanbo Private Hospital, private indeed, there's no doubt about it.
...
Wang Yuanbao, this guy can really talk and win people over. Shortly after sitting down, he became one with the group, chatting and laughing with everyone.
A group of people ate and chatted for over half an hour, each with a full belly, before they finished off a pot of crayfish.
Fang Yuan wiped the oil from the corner of her mouth.
"Is everyone full?
"Let's clean up a bit, then open the window to let in some air..."
But Wang Yuanbao waved his hand, turning back to shout towards the door, "Come in and clean up."
Everyone glanced over... Who is he calling in?
Could it be that nurse was waiting outside all this time?
And indeed, the door opened, and another female nurse, smiling, pushed in a dining cart!
There really was a nurse waiting outside!
The nurses they usually saw were always fierce and tough, but today was a first to see a nurse delivering and cleaning up crayfish shells.
They watched quietly, as the nurse moved swiftly and efficiently, setting various fruits on the table, then turning on the ward's air purifier to freshen the air. After finishing up, she gently bowed to Wang Yuanbao and then pushed the cart as she turned to leave the ward.
They still felt strange... Could this be the power of money?
As the nurse left the ward, she was about to close the door casually.
Bai Mo suddenly noticed the nurse's other hand slipping into her pocket.
Hmm?
Bai Mo's Spiritual Sense suddenly warned him!
What's going on?
Is there something wrong with this nurse?
Is she trying to release poisonous gas?
Bai Mo's Divine Sense spread out, like invisible tentacles, reaching towards the nurse.
Uh?
This isn't a female nurse! It's a man dressed and made up as a female nurse!
The nurse's pocket was secretly unscrewing a cap.
Inside the bottle wasn't poisonous gas, but a kind of Immortal Qi!
This Immortal Qi seemed extremely aggressive. As soon as it left the bottle, it flowed into the nurse's body through her opened fingers! Then it split into many streams, invisible, colorless, tasteless, leaving no trace, flying into the ward, towards every living person!
Bai Mo had never seen this kind of Immortal Qi.
But generally, possessing Immortal Qi requires Sequence Eight or Seven, and they're not cheap!
How could a low-level assassin in women's clothing have a bottle of Immortal Qi?
And how could he be the first to fall for the Immortal Qi's trap?
Could it be that this assassin was just being used as a pawn, deceived, and unaware of the Immortal Qi's danger?
Bam!
The ward door closed.
Everyone seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and resumed their chat and laughter.
"Young Master Wang, why are the nurses at your family's hospital like caretakers!"
"Because I pay them both as nurses and nannies."
"Hahahaha."
The classmates were already joking around.
Bai Mo, without showing any emotion, mixed Divine Sense with Pill Fire, spreading a thin, nearly invisible layer on the floor... Instantly, the mysterious Immortal Qi in midair, aiming at everyone, began to fall, absorbed by the ground. Bai Mo silently manipulated it into a large cluster and sent it silently out through the door crack, chasing after the retreating assassin in women's clothing, flowing back into his body from his feet... After all, he already had some inside him, so more or less wouldn't matter.
Wang Yuanbao had already turned to Wu Qingyun, starting a conversation with her. His main purpose today was to get to know Wu Qingyun… In fact, he had tried multiple times during the meal to speak with her, but Wu Qingyun remained aloof, eating his crayfish but ignoring him.
"Committee Member Qingyun, you must be quite busy, huh?"
No sooner had he said this, he suddenly heard a soft "whoosh" sound from outside the door, then saw Wu Qingyun instantly grab the Sword Box and dart outside.
"What's wrong?"
Everyone followed, rushing outside.
A short distance down the hallway, the stainless steel dining cart they'd just used stood still.
But the "female nurse" was nowhere to be seen, replaced by a puddle of oily sludge on the floor and ashes floating in the corridor.
...
In the hospital's surveillance room.
The space was somewhat cramped, with Committee Member Gu Lin and Zhang Shan, Lu Yang, and others standing, watching the surveillance footage.
"We've confirmed it's a professional assassin, disguised as a female nurse to sneak in.
"We don't know who the target was.
"He seemed to have some kind of Immortal Technique tool, but he used it incorrectly and got consumed himself."
In the surveillance footage, that nurse was pushing a stainless steel dining cart, just a few steps out before suddenly his entire body turned red and bright, instantly igniting from inside out, becoming a fireman! As the flames burst and extinguished, his body vanished, leaving behind nothing but a puddle of oil stains and ash drifting in the air.
Zhang Shan smacked his lips.
"What kind of Immortal Technique tool is this? The effect looks terrifying.
"Luckily the assassin made a mistake, otherwise us few here might have been goners."
Committee Member Gu Lin shook his head.
"There are tools related to fire in the database... but none so aggressive.
"This belongs to a new, unknown type of tool."
Bai Mo stood by, White Claw perched on his shoulder, pondering the properties of this Immortal Qi... In terms of power, it's not strong among Immortal Qi. Blood Water and Pill Fire are both stronger. But its most detestable feature is its stealth, invisible, colorless, tasteless, and hard to detect easily.
The chubby Wang Yuanbao stood in the corner, pale-faced.
Actually, in his mind, he was conversing with his Ancient Immortal Master.
"Master, this assassin was after me!
"Once again, it's my cheapskate brother trying to hire a killer to get rid of me!
"What exactly is that thing that burns people to ash?"
Wang Yuanbao's master, Ancient Bee Immortal, at this moment stood in a cave, hands clasped behind his back, also feeling regretful.
"It's the Fire Toad Immortal Qi.
"The Immortal Beast Fire Toad lives by volcanic craters, consuming magma over the years.
"Mouthful after mouthful of magma, accumulating a lot of fire poison in their bodies.
"The fire poison exudes from the bumps on their backs, forming this Fire Toad Immortal Qi.
"This Immortal Qi is colorless, tasteless, invisible, and intangible. It can float in the air and invade the human body. It's somewhat dangerous."
As he spoke, Ancient Bee Immortal pursed his lips.
"No need to be alarmed. In the past, many Alchemists had this thing at hand.
"It had a nickname. In your modern words, it's called 'Eight Dou of Magma Burn One Man.'
The chubby Wang Yuanbao furrowed his brows.
"What?"
...
"Eight Dou of Magma Burn One Man?"
The sky over Fox Mountain was still covered with ominous clouds.
Inside the Fox Mountain Bronze Hall, Bai Mo sat behind a desk, suddenly recalling something he once read. He retrieved it from the depths of his tablet's files.
"Could this so-called 'Eight Dou of Magma Burn One Man' Immortal Qi be this Fire Toad Immortal Qi?
"The Alchemists of the Ancient Immortal Dynasty often had many tools on hand, one of which was the Fire Toad.
"Feed it eight dou of magma, and the fire poison Immortal Qi it spits out can instantly incinerate a slave to ashes.
"When a slave is invaded by Immortal Qi, they are completely unaware, making no cries.
"When ignited by the Immortal Qi, they burn too quickly to ashes, with no struggle.
"Perfectly suitable for preparing a certain herb... living human ash."
Bai Mo tugged at the corners of his mouth, closed the document, unsure of what to say.
The Alchemists of the Ancient Immortal Dynasty had truly turned the word "brutal" into a craft!
Bai Mo, having a rough understanding, closed the document.
Suddenly, the sound of "clattering" wheels was heard.
Looking up, he saw Peach Blossom Eyes and Black Tail pulling a small cart into the great hall.
On a small cart lay a huge fruit, astonishingly the size of a cow!
This fruit was a golden yellow, with a hard exterior covered with protruding spikes.
"Aw aw aw!"
"Ying ying ying!"
The two fox disciples were very excited!
This was the fruit just grown from the herb field. They didn't know what it was called, but the fragrance was already apparent.
Bai Mo inhaled the fruity aroma, also smiling, his earlier gloomy mood vanished.
"Oh?
"Is it ripe?
"Our Elephant Durian!"
