Chapter 735: Chapter 394: Xiao Chuifeng, the Fox Disciple with the Big Buck Teeth Mask

Hoo...

The sound of the raging wind was blocked outside the workshop.

In the dim light, dozens of foxes, encircling in layers, were all wide-eyed with excitement, looking at their master in the center, handling bottles, jars, and Immortal Grasses!

"Eee!"

"Ooo!"

...The master is finally going to start the alchemy!

The foxes in the area who were working and had time to spare all gathered around, ready to watch.

Bai Mo was guarding a large bamboo cylinder, closely examining it.

This bamboo, known as Cyan Flame Bamboo, was just freshly cut, with a moist and fresh cut surface, and there was a thin film inside the bamboo tube.

"Should be no problem."

He raised his head and looked at his disciples.

"Of course, you can watch the fun.

"But as I’ve said before, the next operation will pollute the air and release some toxic gases. Have you all put on your masks?"

The disciples immediately nodded and responded one after another.

"Eee!"

"Ooo!"

They all wore masks specially made by Fox Mountain, with quirky patterns on the surface — some had red lips, some had spider mouthparts, and some had big buck teeth... each was bizarrely painted, with various goofy elements.

Though aware that these guys are all cautious about safety and never sloppy in this regard, Bai Mo still swept his gaze around, conducting a serious inspection.

"Alright."

After confirming everything was fine, he stood by the bamboo cylinder, adding Earth Hemp Juice, Orange Peel Fiber Particles, Pit Fiber, White Tea Stalk Fiber... a total of nineteen types of fibers, turning the Earth Hemp Juice inside the cylinder into a cloudy mixture with various fibers suspended within.

As he shook the bamboo cylinder, the foxes stretched their furry heads, their big eyes staring at his movements, watching the cylinder shake, and observing the condition of the liquid inside.

Bai Mo grinned.

"No need to watch so seriously.

"This stuff, you can’t handle it, nor can you learn it."

The foxes tilted their heads, squinting their eyes, with strange expressions.

"Eee?"

"Ooo?"

With their rich alchemy experience, each one was a little expert in alchemy, and couldn’t they learn?

The next moment, they saw the master holding a Dragon Snake Grass Leaf in his left hand, while Five-Colored Pill Fire rose from the fingertips of his right hand!

This Pill Fire was somewhat special, seemingly lighter in color, lower in heat, with tiny tongues of flames licking within it.

They watched the master envelop that Dragon Snake Grass Leaf with the Pill Fire, igniting it!

Hoo~

Inside the flame, the inner tongues of the fire gently licked the leaf, breaking it down inch by inch, separating out the juice, leaf flesh, leaf wax, leaf veins... and strands of transparent fibers.

Under the control of Pill Fire, those juice, leaf flesh, leaf wax, leaf veins... all hung suspended within the Pill Fire, seemingly motionless.

Only the transparent fibers extracted from the grass leaf detached from the Pill Fire, fluttering down like snowflakes, falling into the bamboo cylinder, into the suspended liquid in the barrel.

The foxes widened their eyes, their gaze following the floating transparent fibers, all the way down to the inside of the bamboo cylinder, to the liquid.

They saw that in the liquid, the ten different fibers were swimming, forming a line, dancing, tangling with each other, pulling and repelling each other, moving towards the inner wall of the bamboo cylinder, sticking onto that layer of bamboo film on the inner wall.

The foxes stared intently, reluctant to even blink, hardly daring to breathe, as they saw that bamboo film being evenly covered with strands of fibers, dyed black and yellow, becoming thicker and even starting to peel off from the bamboo tube, gradually bubbling.

Bai Mo flicked his hand, casting all the other useless impurities suspended in the Pill Fire aside into a waste liquid bucket.

Then, with his disciples, he looked at the bamboo cylinder, at that layer of bamboo film.

"It seems to have succeeded."

They watched, eyes wide, as the liquid inside the bamboo tube overflowed, flowing down the outer wall.

They saw a bulging, wrinkled mass of black and yellow film emerging from the bamboo tube!

This mass of film grew larger and larger, from fist-sized to head-sized, and eventually to the size of a watermelon, wrinkled into a big glob, oozing liquid, stopping at the top of the bamboo tube.

Bai Mo reached out, grabbing the film, stood up, and shook it open, shaking off the residual liquid.

Then saw this film became two meters square, with black and yellow spots, semi-transparent, gleaming with a luster.

"Hey, Ma Huang Bamboo Film, it’s a success!"

At this moment, the disciples finally dared to breathe heavily.

Success?

They immediately became excited!

They began bouncing and dancing around their master in circles.

"Eee!"

"Ooo!"

"Eee!"

Bai Mo grinned, happy as well, but not as much.

He placed the Ma Huang Bamboo Film into the basin next to him.

And couldn’t help but sigh.

"This thing involves Pill Fire control, only I can handle it myself.

"The disciples can’t be of much assistance. What a pity."

As the foxes continued their circular dance, they also noticed something was off.

They stopped their dance steps, each one gathered around their master, looking at the bamboo film, chattering in fox language, gesturing.

"Eee, ooo ooo ooo ooo..."

"Ooo eee eee..."

Bai Mo understood their meaning and smiled wryly.

"This bamboo film is not a Pill!

"It’s still far from being a Pill.

"According to literature, Ma Huang Bamboo Film can be used to refine some kinds of Pills with low Danpi requirements.

"It can serve as the Danpi’s, support layer’s, substrate, one of them.

"And Danpi is the outermost structure of a Pill."

The foxes exchanged puzzled looks.

"Eee?"

"Ooo?"

What is the master saying?

What does this mean?

The painstakingly refined Ma Huang Bamboo Film is just one of the substrates, support layers, for the outermost structure of a Pill?

It’s like carving a beast head with great effort, feeling proud, only to find out it’s merely a decorative ornament for a drain outlet on the palace wall, while what they actually need to construct is an entire palace?
