Chapter 824: Chapter 437: Bai Mo’s Endless Research Funds

Whew...

The night wind is chilly.

The dormitory hall of Fox Mountain is pitch-black.

The fox apprentices are, as usual, forming groups, either bragging and chatting, or organizing silly games.

Bai Mo got himself a deck chair, lying on it comfortably, holding a Copper Plate and reading.

"Just clearing out the literature dug up from my own land."

The fox apprentice Night Cat’s Eye squatted on the armrest of the deck chair, holding a teapot, reading the literature with the master.

"Eek eek eek!"

The fox apprentice Guo Kezhao squatted on a small side table, helping the master crack open nuts!

"Awoo awoo awoo!"

Bai Mo occasionally tilted his head to sip on the spout that Night Cat’s Eye handed to him, or opened his mouth to eat the kernels that Guo Kezhao stuffed to him.

Chewing with a crunching sound, while holding the literature, the more he looked, the more fascinating it seemed!

[...When Primordial Immortal Qi transforms into a wispy cloud state, it doesn’t truly disperse and requires a critical point...]

"Makes a lot of sense."

He swallowed the oily fragrant kernels.

Looking at the familiar handwriting in the literature, it clearly came from Marquis Qing Yue.

But this research on Primordial Immortal Qi, this rigorous research attitude, clear research thinking, scientific research method, pragmatic research results... This doesn’t quite match the marquis’s level and style!

To be honest, the marquis is this kind of practical fighter, somewhat lacking in theoretical research.

It’s hard to imagine, she can actually write such a piece of literature?

Bai Mo continues to look, learn, and think.

Occasionally turning his palm to condense a Knowledge Container, to check the immortal qi inside.

Unknowingly, over half an hour passed, and he finally finished this piece of literature, smacking his lips, feeling unsatisfied.

Scrambling for similar content on the Copper Plate beside him, yet unable to find it.

He sighed, suddenly seeing Guo Kezhao on the small table nearby, watching it grab five or six walnut shells with its Fox Claw, using two fox paws to cover them, applying just the right pressure, a press and a twist, after the crunching sounds, opening the paws again, walnut shells and whole kernels were separated!

"Eek eek eek!"

It grinned from ear to ear, pinching a kernel and tossing one into its mouth.

Then pinching another kernel, giving one to Night Cat’s Eye.

Finally, blowing away the walnut shells, stuffing all remaining kernels into the master’s mouth.

Bai Mo realized, no wonder just now when eating kernels, one bite filled his mouth, turns out the disciple distributed the nuts quite like this?

Laughing, he hugged Guo Kezhao in his arms, rubbed its chubby belly.

"Master’s had enough, ate so much I’m thirsty, you all eat."

Then also hugged Night Cat’s Eye into his arms, rubbed its chubby belly, until the two foxes curled up laughing, Bai Mo picked up the next Copper Plate and continued reading.

[...The pressure is too much, every time I apply to Marquis for Primordial Immortal Qi, it’s too much pressure]

[She would ask a lot of questions, ask the purpose of applying for immortal qi, ask how I plan to use immortal qi, ask about the estimated value generated, ask if it’s absolutely necessary]

[The key is her gaze, really too fierce, whoever wants to apply immortal qi from her, is her enemy!]

This... why does it feel like guarding the funds and being unwilling to approve?

The content on this Copper Plate is not much, Bai Mo tossed it aside after reading.

After checking a few more plates, he again encountered the same handwriting.

[...I applied to use immortal qi for experiments, rejected by the marquis]

[She said three months ago, someone applied for a similar experiment and failed to produce results, so this is purely wasting immortal qi, no value]

[I seriously suspect, she’s just too stingy, deliberately finding excuses not to grant me immortal qi]

[In the vast Pill Palace, every day there are experiments big and small being initiated, every day experiments big and small proceed, every day experiments big and small fail]

[Can she really remember all the experiments?]

[I don’t believe it!]

[She must be stingy; that’s why she won’t approve my request for qi]

[I must check the experiment records!]

Hmm?

Seeing this, Bai Mo furrows his brows.

Marquis Qing Yue, this woman, is indeed poor, stingy.

But she would lie and deceive?

Bai Mo has doubts.

Sure enough, he quickly saw the follow-up.

[Alright, the Marquis was right]

[I checked the records, three months ago, there indeed was a similar experiment, and indeed it failed]

[I heard them say, to avoid repeated experiments, to prevent wastage of immortal qi, the marquis actually memorized all records of immortal qi related experiments]

"Uh..."

Bai Mo doesn’t know how to comment.

But he suddenly has a guess.

"Perhaps the reason the Marquis could produce such a high-level piece of literature on immortal qi is because..."

He checks the Copper Plate beside him, and soon finds another with the same handwriting.

[...my experiment application was rejected by the marquis again]

[This time I checked the records in advance and found no repeated experiments]

[But the marquis laughed at my theories as too poor, she deduced extensively to prove my experiment doesn’t need to be conducted, doing so would be a waste of immortal qi]

[When I walked out of the marquis’s palace, I was really confused, when did the marquis’s theoretical level become so strong?]

[Later, chatting with the seniors, I finally understood: the marquis, to save immortal qi, memorized all experiment records related to immortal qi]

[And to save immortal qi, she practically participates in all immortal qi experiments]

[And to save immortal qi, she contemplates endlessly, painstakingly researches immortal qi, eliminating ineffective experiments]

[Over time, the marquis who saves immortal qi has become the Pill Palace’s most formidable immortal qi research expert]

Bai Mo holds the Stone Slab, his mouth twitching.

"Uh... This... is kind of bizarre...

"But considering it’s the marquis doing it, it’s not surprising, right?"
