Chapter 757: Chapter 405: Fox Mountain’s First Pill, Refined! (Part 2)

What exactly is Yu Cui here for?

Does he really just want to see the pill?

Unable to discern Yu Cui’s intentions, he could only smile awkwardly alongside Yu Cui.

Then Yu Cui spoke.

"Actually, the news about your pill has leaked out!

"It probably hasn’t reached the Immortal Committee yet... but many people in the Dark World already know.

"So, you’re actually quite in danger.

"Usually staying in the Immortal Committee, with many experts around, you are safe.

"Like today, going out alone, you might be ambushed!"

Just as he finished speaking, the snowstorm outside suddenly intensified!

A gust of wind carried a splash of snow that shattered two layers of glass with a "bang," sweeping the shards towards Jiao Su!

Yu Cui smiled smugly and raised his chin at Jiao Su, feeling quite pleased with himself.

"See?

"Speak of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao appears."

He snapped his fingers.

Snap!

The snow outside suddenly changed color to become flying sand, identical to the kind from the Great Treasure Vault!

And this flying sand forcefully pulled back the snow that had intruded into the laboratory!

In the wind, one could faintly hear cries of astonishment, which disappeared with the return of the flying sand to snow, and the cries faded away.

Jiao Su stood there with cold sweat, holding the Tiger Power Pill, staring at the broken window, then at the usual snowfall outside, and at the blurred silhouettes of buildings in the distance among the snow, as if the assassin and the flying sand were all his hallucination.

Yu Cui extended his hand, patting Jiao Su’s shoulder.

"Don’t be afraid, dear junior brother!

"Both of our roots are in the Douluo Immortal Thief Society.

"We are branches from the same root!

"As long as I am here, I won’t let anything happen to you!

"Whatever you want to do, go ahead and do it boldly.

"With me around, no matter who comes to assassinate you, they will all end up dead.

"Those little Sequence Seven minions are not worth your attention.

"Even if Sequence Six or Five comes, I’ll still kill them for you to see!"

He puffed out his chest, patted it, full of a smile, and pride!

Jiao Su laughed dryly and nodded.

In truth, he sought confirmation from his master in his heart.

"Master, was there really a Sequence Seven trying to assassinate me just now?"

"Yes, it was a Sequence Seven’s Immortal Martial, using Martial Dao Will to wrap the snowstorm!"

"Can Yu Cui really kill a Sequence Six or Five?"

"He can’t do it alone. It depends on how much control he has over the Great Treasure Vault, how much knowledge he has learned..."

...

Whew...

At the warehouse entrance clearing on Fox Mountain, the round Yin Grass Furnace, like a whale, hovered in mid-air, its body wrapped in blazing flames, gently rocking and spinning.

Bai Mo sat in a recliner below, occasionally directing his apprentices to handle various herbs.

"Small and Big Eyes, scoop out the pulp from the Ghost Face Pumpkin, but don’t discard it yet!

"Flying Legs, help me mix a bucket of milk and alcohol liquid, one-to-one ratio.

"Spread out the Ma Huang Bamboo Film to let it air out."

Around him were piles of herbs, his apprentices bustling about, some running in and out of the warehouse fetching various herbs.

"Eeeeeeing!"

Peach Blossom Eyes, temporarily assigned, rushed out of the warehouse, hugging a large bucket of Xili Mei.

The master needed a lot of herbs for refining medicine this time!

"Oooooooh!"

Flying Legs watched as the mixed milk and alcohol liquid he just prepared transformed into a column of liquid, sucked up into the sky, and flown into the alchemy furnace!

The apprentices’ workload was lighter this time during the master’s refining; at least they didn’t have to climb to the furnace to put in the herbs.

The foxes busied themselves, yet took quick opportunities to chat in their foxy language.

"Eeeeing ooooh oooh?"

"Oooooooh eeeeening?"

Is the master really going to refine a pill?

No, actually!

Bai Mo hadn’t found a complete Pill Formula yet, so he couldn’t refine a pill.

Opening the furnace now was just to consume some herbs, practice his skills, and test theories.

After all, knowledge gained from books is shallow.

He sat on the recliner, letting his Divine Sense spread like the wind into the alchemy furnace, observing the raging flames within, watching the floating liquids, powders, some solid objects, and pastes in the pill fire, watching as they disassemble and merge, undergoing various changes.

"Oh, so that’s how it is."

As he observed, he directed his apprentices, closing his eyes and focusing on his Divine Sense.

"Butterfly Knot, peel the Octagonal Honey Peaches for me, don’t peel too thick, leave more flesh."

"Big and Small Eyes, remove the white cores from the Dry Land Lotus Seeds."

As he spoke, he quickly grasped the alchemy techniques he had just learned, becoming more adept at understanding and controlling the Yin Grass Furnace.

As time passed bit by bit, the herbs piled behind him were consumed several times and replenished, several times replaced with different kinds.

The trash bins filled with fruit peels, seeds, and pulp were piled to a point.

Plumes of ash burst from the alchemy furnace, floating into the piercing mountain winds.

It wasn’t until around noon that Bai Mo finished testing the knowledge he had learned recently, and slowly opened his eyes.

"Sequence Five’s alchemy knowledge is indeed complex! Layer upon layer, ring upon ring, this knowledge system truly resembles a skyscraper rising straight into the stars."

Yet, the knowledge he had acquired was merely a corner of the foundation.

And the pill is the luminous pearl at the top of the skyscraper; with the knowledge he has, he cannot refine a pill at all.

"It’s about lunchtime now."

Just as he was about to announce the end, he suddenly thought.

"Why not try the Snow Warm Pill?

"The Snow Warm Pill of the Green Rice Immortal?"

The theory of the Green Rice Immortal was relatively simple and abstract, standing apart from the alchemy Dao knowledge system, like a separate little building on the flat ground.
