Master of Ten Thousand Foxes-Chapter 243 - 156: Grass Leaf Double-Bladed Knife, the Sword Saint of Fox Mountain Returns
Inside the Fox Mountain warehouse.
On a bronze table were various bottles and jars of all sizes.
In front of the table sat a comfortable bronze chair.
Beside the table on the bronze shelf were various medicinal materials and tools.
This was a temporary worktable specially prepared by the warehouse manager Bai Liandan’Er for the master. It was usually kept here and cleaned frequently.
At this moment, seeing the master seated at this worktable, it grinned and approached, hugging the master’s leg and nuzzling his head against him.
"Ying ying ying!"
Bai Mo patted the little guy’s head.
"You’re quite capable, haha.
"Help the master gather some medicinal materials. I need seeds of serrated orchid grass and tiger skin sword orchid, not too many, five of each, and one spoonful of rasi beans..."
As Bai Mo spoke, Bai Liandan’Er frowned and held a stone slab, scratching notes only it could understand with its claws.
Before long, Bai Mo had listed dozens of medicinal materials.
The stone slab in Bai Liandan’Er’s hands was covered in scratches.
"Ying ying ying!"
It nodded, then turned and ran towards the depths of the warehouse, carrying the stone slab.
Leaving Bai Mo by himself, seated at the worktable, he opened a piece of literature he had read before.
"Solving the addiction mechanism of Ear-Enlightening Soup might rely on this!"
[... The Ancient Immortal Dynasty had clear distinctions of rank. Even the same punishment was carried out differently for slaves and nobles ...]
[... If a slave was subjected to nasal amputation, it would be done with a jagged blunt knife, so that all slaves could hear the cries and feel the pain ...]
[... If a noble was subjected to nasal amputation, it would be done with a sharp immortal artifact, which was coated with tiger skin sword orchid juice. This juice could absorb all pain when the flesh was cut, allowing the noble to maintain dignity ...]
Bai Mo had read this piece of literature long ago.
He found the difference in treatment between slaves and nobles during nasal amputations peculiar and didn’t know how to evaluate it. In the Ancient Immortal Dynasty, the status of nobles was higher, but not that high. When they had to cut off a nose, there was no way to keep the nose.
What intrigued Bai Mo was the mention of "tiger skin sword orchid," which could absorb all pain during the cutting process, allowing the one being cut to feel no pain... Bai Mo initially thought this plant had a paralyzing effect, numbing the wound and nerves.
But after some research, he found it wasn’t the case!
"This thing can indeed absorb the specific ’pain’ induced ... medicinal power."
Yes, it could absorb a special, specific kind of medicinal power generated when the flesh was cut!
The way to break the addiction mechanism of the Ear-Enlightening Soup relied on this "medicinal power."
Not long after, Bai Liandan’Er returned with a basket full of medicinal materials.
"Ao ao ao!
"Ying ying ying!"
It put the basket on the ground first, then quickly took out various medicinal materials to place them on the table for the master. Those that couldn’t fit were placed on the shelf next to it.
"Great!"
Bai Mo patted the little guy’s head, grinned, and began to work.
First, he picked up the seeds of tiger skin sword orchid and serrated orchid grass, infused them with divine sense, and studied them carefully.
...
Today, Bai Liandan’Er was extraordinarily happy!
The master was back in the warehouse, so it could stay with him for a long time!
With a feather duster in the left paw, a small watering can in the right paw, a broom wrapped in its tail, and a small bucket hanging from its neck, it swiftly carried out routine cleaning maintenance in the warehouse!
Swoosh swoosh swoosh!
The feather duster swept the dust from the shelves.
Tweak tweak tweak!
The small watering can sprayed mist onto honey dew carrots to keep them moist.
The broom wrapped in its tail quickly swept the path.
... Just like that, with high-speed operations, today’s three-hour work was completed in one and a half hours.
"Ao ao ao!"
"Ying ying ying!"
It excitedly threw aside a pile of cleaning tools, ran to the corner of the warehouse, brewed a large pot of honey green tea, fetched two cups, put them on a tray, and dashed towards the worktable.
Seeing the master’s hands blazing with green flames, performing delicate operations on the seeds... It quickly lowered its footsteps, poured two cups of tea not far away, one for the master and one for itself, and brought the master’s cup to the worktable, before sitting cross-legged on the floor, picking up its own cup, and taking a sip.
Gulp gulp gulp...
Fox Mountain’s honey green tea was fragrant and sweet!
It squinted, exhaling a fresh breath of tea.
"Ao..."
Seated there, it sipped tea and watched the master’s operation.
Squinting its eyes, it slowly saw clearly, slowly understood... The master blended numerous potions, extracting crystalline fibers and neural strands from them, and planned to sew the seeds of tiger skin sword orchid and serrated orchid grass together with these fibers and neural strands!
Both seeds were very small and couldn’t even fill the gaps between a fox’s teeth.
But the pill fire in the master’s hands unexpectedly spat out tiny flames, agile as ant feelers, tapping the two seeds and licking the delicate crystals and neural strands, threading the needle and sewing the seeds together.
Today, Bai Liandan’Er discovered, for the first time, the master had this skill?
But after all, he’s the master!
The master is omnipotent, it’s no surprise he knows everything!
...
Bai Mo contemplated the formula and addiction mechanism of Ear-Enlightening Soup, considered his solution, operated step by step, refined medicinal properties, paired and fused, sewn the seeds...
Unconsciously, he had drunk seven or eight cups of honey green tea.
"Flower pot."
He extended his hand, and Bai Liandan’Er promptly handed over a small bronze flower pot.
Then he added specialized orchid potting soil, poured in specially concocted potion, and with two fingers, held the recently sewn seeds.
