Master of Ten Thousand Foxes-Chapter 271 - 169: Fox Claw Cactus Detector, Immortal’s Flesh and Blood (Part 2)

"Do you understand?"

Xue Yong nodded blankly.

"I understand."

"But, Master, won't I practice boxing today then?"

"The boxing technique you taught me last time, I seem to have gotten some sense of it."

"But I still feel the moves are not satisfactory, and I want to ask you about a few points…"

The Ancient Immortal Palm was missing a piece of flesh, the wound had healed, but it was clear that a piece had indeed sunk in.

He was full of impatience, pushed Xue Yong with one palm!

"Too much nonsense!"

With one palm, he pushed the seated Xue Yong backward, and in Xue Yong's cry of surprise, pushed him out of the dream realm, back to the real world.

Seeing another disciple coming from afar, Round Stone Ancient Immortal quickly retracted his hand to prevent the disciples from seeing inside his sleeves.

He looked very fat, very fat, but actually, only his hands had flesh. Inside the sleeves, above the wrists, only withered bones.

He glanced at the piece of flesh missing from his palm, thinking that the piece had gone to the real world, feeling scared, nervous, and heartbroken.

But then he looked back at the straw hut, thinking of the very fat big disciple inside, gritting his teeth.

"Anyway, I can get back that piece of flesh."

"It's all for the future!"

"Taking some risks is worth it!"

…

In Fox Mountain Hall.

Peach Blossom Eyes, Round Ears, and Star Ear were already ready to go, prepared to bring back Dream Grass from Fox Mountain.

"Whimper whimper whimper."

"Howl howl howl."

"Whimper whimper whimper."

The three of them stood on one side of the Bronze Table, watching their master prepare tools for them.

The three foxes were all dressed in Invisibility Cloaks, with only their heads exposed outside.

All wore their Life-saving Medicine Bottles around their necks.

All carried small bamboo baskets to prevent too much Dream Grass for two Fox Claws to handle.

Now, just waiting for the final tool… Dream Grass Detector!

The item Master was transforming over the table, they all recognized… Living Thorn Cactus!

It was the cactus produced in Pang Youyou's medicine field, this kind of cactus extremely timid, as soon as it sensed someone nearby, it would immediately retract its thorns.

Master let them go to the medicine field, casually broke off three not-so-good cactus branches, and was now transforming those three branches.

Master used Pill Fire in one hand and medicine in the other, occasionally reaching out to pinch and cut, occasionally dripping medicine, not much time passed before the transformation was complete.

"Alright, it's done!"

"These are our Dream Grass Detectors!"

In three small flowerpots, three cactus branches were planted.

Every cactus branch resembled a Fox Claw emerging from the earth! Green, plump, with five toes spread out, and small thorns on the surface.

"This detector is now not afraid of foxes."

"When you hold it, it won't retract its thorns."

"But it fears people, fears Dream Grass."

"If you go somewhere and there's clearly no one there but this detector retracts its thorns, then it means there's Dream Grass!"

…

The sky was already late.

The doors of West State University's dormitory building were closed, the campus fell into darkness and quietness, only a few street lamps illuminated the lonely road.

From afar, laughter from the dormitory building reached the students.

Xue Yong put on his uniform, took a flashlight, and began to wander around the campus!

"Damn it, what is this supposed to mean?"

"I, a dignified Immortal Technique Committee member, have become a night patrol security guard?"

In the distance, Peach Blossom Eyes, cloaked in Invisibility Cloak, frowned, looking earnestly at the Fox Claw Detector he was holding.

The detector's thorns had retracted!

In the direction of the retracted thorns, a figure was leaving, precisely Xue Yong.

"Howl?"

Peach Blossom Eyes was very frustrated, had thought he encountered Dream Grass, but why is it a night patrol security guard?

The three siblings were separately moving in the campus, he was responsible for the teaching area, and at this time was holding the detector, carefully patrolling, searching for Dream Grass.

…

Xue Yong walked to a dark corner, suddenly the extra piece of flesh on his abs started to twitch furiously!

He widened his eyes, perked up his ears, heard what seemed like a sound from behind the roadside shrub?

Huh?

This Immortal Grass can make a sound?

He walked forward, parted the shrub, and shone the flashlight in.

Lit up a boy, and a girl, crouching there looking panicked.

He frowned, disappointed, frustrated, feeling sour!

These two running out in the middle of the night for some illicit affair, even disturbing his search for Immortal Grass, simply infuriating!

Shone the flashlight fiercely on the boy's face a few times!

Checked again to make sure both were dressed.

"You damn fools!"

"It's late, get back to your dormitories!"

After driving away these two students, he glanced at the disorderly bushes and then at the spot he had just sensed. He roughly understood...

"Five meters!"

"The sensing range of this strip of meat given by Master is about five meters."

....

On the outskirts of the teaching area.

Peach Blossom Eyes squinted, watching Xue Yong walk away into the distance.

Oh?

What's this person up to?

Wandering around aimlessly at night instead of sleeping, could he be trying to steal Dream Grass from Fox Mountain?

Peach Blossom Eyes frowned and followed the trail Xue Yong had walked.

As he walked, suddenly, the Fox Claw Detector he held shrank its spikes!

Eek?

Peach Blossom Eyes noticed that the spike on the furthest left toe of the Fox Claw Detector shrank inward.

He tiptoed, moving to the left, and slipped into the roadside bushes.

Master said the sensitivity of this detector is adjusted to its maximum, able to detect within a fifty-meter range! Although it detected something, the Dream Grass might not be close.

He burrowed into the bushes, and the further he went, the more the spikes on the Fox Claw Detector retracted!

He reached deep inside the bush, arriving at a spot at the base of a teaching building's wall.

He held up the detector, probing left and right, and at the spot where the spikes retracted the most, he spotted a seemingly ordinary weed growing from the base of the wall.

"Oh?"

Is this Dream Grass?

Peach Blossom Eyes frowned, glanced left and right, and indeed noticed the grass appeared like a person bending down to pack their bag? Upon closer inspection, it seemed to evoke a sense of "finally, class is over, how relaxing."

Peach Blossom Eyes grinned, dug up the grass, and put it into his small bamboo basket.

....

Xue Yong was full of excitement, jumping behind the wall corner.

"Found it!"

He fixed his gaze and was immediately stunned.

Behind the wall corner, a trembling professional figure under the arm was holding a backpack and was sneakily staring back at him.

Xue Yong frowned.

"It's so late, why aren't you back in the dorm... Wait, at your age, are you damn well a thief?"

The person took to their heels but was promptly kicked to the ground by Xue Yong!

Thud!

"Ah!"

The thief fell to the ground, skidding on his face with a miserable cry.

The bag under his arm flew out, spilling the just-stolen memory sticks.

Xue Yong stomped on the thief's back, grumbled, and pulled out his phone to call security.

Suddenly, he sensed someone might be in the nearby bushes?

What he didn't know was Peach Blossom Eyes had just dug up a piece of grass and put it into his small bamboo basket, covered by an Invisibility Cloak, quietly tiptoeing away into the night.

....

Time passed swiftly.

Under the sapphire night sky of the current world, hung a new moon, curved like a moth's eyebrow.

Three foxes met again under the flagpole of West State University.

"Eek eek eek!"

Peach Blossom Eyes raised the small bamboo basket, inside were the Fox Claw Detector and the four Dream Grass found in the teaching area.

"Oh oh oh!"

Round Ears raised the small bamboo basket, having scoured the living area and found only three, somewhat disappointed.

"Eek eek eek!"

Star Ear raised the small bamboo basket, having conducted a carpet search of the playground and found a total of seven. Originally thought it wasn't much but ended up being the most among the three!

"Very well, you've completed your task."

Master's voice echoed in their ears.

White mist rose, taking the three foxes back to Fox Mountain.

....

In the thatched hut.

Round Stone Ancient Immortal sat by the medicine barrel, holding a stone slab, explaining the Taenia Scripture to his plump disciple. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"...Once the taenia enters the body, there are nine routes, thirty habits.

"Each route has twenty-seven intersections.

"At each intersection..."

The plump disciple frowned, listened intently, even gritted his teeth, furrowing deeply. Yet, his eyes seemed to start drawing circles...

Round Stone Ancient Immortal sighed, put down the stone slab.

"No more. You don't understand.

"It's also damn strange, how did I learn this stuff back then?

"I somehow managed to learn it?

"Let's wait for the Immortal Grass..."

Mentioning Immortal Grass, he frowned.

"It's been so long, why hasn't Xue Yong returned?

"Did he forget to send me one?

"How many has he found?"
