Chapter 848 -449: Just How Much Immortal Grass Will Fox Mountain Waste?

Swish…

The square minivan sped through Fox Mountain, braving the howling mountain wind.

White Earrings was driving with excitement!

“Whimper whimper whimper!”

Because Master was sitting in the back!

Along with the Seven Emotions Straw, Persuasion Amplifier, Timid Daisy, and various bottles and jars of medicines and fertilizers prepared for these Super Immortal Herbs.

Master said that these Immortal Herbs are quite precious, so they should be carried along wherever possible and cared for at all times.

Bai Mo sat in the back row, holding the tablet, admiring the new protective rubber case that’s dustproof and anti-fall.

“This is nice!

“With this, sand won’t get into the charging port.”

He opened the tablet and viewed his own drawing—the process flowchart of the Elixir Skin Workshop and the facilities layout.

All of the major parts were already completed, with only scattered blanks waiting to be filled.

Swish…

The car stopped.

Bai Mo got out with the tablet.

White Earrings stayed to watch over the herbs, while Black Bracelet was full of excitement, carrying a folding chair and hanging a water bottle around his neck, meeting up with Master.

“Whimper whimper whimper!”

As part of Master’s mobile workspace, he stuck closely behind Master, jumping into the pit and entering the freshly unearthed Elixir Skin Workshop.

Most of the facilities had been cleaned up, with the surface mud and dust swept away, revealing heavy bronze rust.

As they went deeper into the workshop, some facilities were still being carefully cleaned by the foxes.

Bai Mo and Black Bracelet arrived at a tree-shaped bronze distillation tower, where several foxes climbed on it, “crack crack” scraping off the mud crust and “puff puff” sweeping away the dust, revealing the bronze rust.

Bai Mo smiled and reminded them.

“Be careful!”

The apprentices on the tower turned back and responded.

“Whimper whimper whimper!”

“Howl howl howl!”

He was about to leave when suddenly he saw a figure on the distillation tower.

“Guo Kezhao? Why are you here instead of at the Herb Workshop?”

Guo Kezhao jumped down the tower, patted his messenger bag, and confidently patted his chest, gesturing and speaking in fox language to explain to Master.

“Whimper whimper whimper, howl howl howl whimper whimper…”

…Turns out his job of shelling the herbs had been replaced by plant machinery!

He only needed to handle feeding and unloading, with the work severely under-saturated, so he entrusted the machine and tasks to the herb preprocessing large workshop and ran to the excavation site, becoming a new member here!

“Ah?”

Bai Mo squatted down and touched his apprentice’s head.

With the increasing production of Immortal Herbs at Fox Mountain, more herbs need shelling, and he specifically developed that machine to lighten Guo Kezhao’s burden.

Unexpectedly, this guy was straightforward; with the machine, he simply stopped working at the workshop!

“Are you happy working here?”

Guo Kezhao nodded heavily.

“Whimper whimper whimper, howl howl howl, whimper whimper…”

He pointed to his fellow brothers and sisters on the distillation tower… expressing his happiness!

The herb shelling workshop was lonely with only him.

But at the excavation site, there are many fellow brothers and sisters together, bustling and lively, of course, he’s happy!

Bai Mo hugged him.

“Then… isn’t it a pity that the shelling skills you’ve learned for so many years suddenly become useless?”

Guo Kezhao shook his head.

What’s there to be sorry about?

He patted his chest proudly!

Guo Kezhao is a brick on Fox Mountain, moved where needed!

Bai Mo hugged his apprentice.

“Alright, go ahead and keep busy.”

After he and Black Bracelet left, Guo Kezhao lowered his head, looked at his fluffy paws, and a trace of melancholy flickered in his eyes.

It’s a lie to say it’s not a pity.

It’s certainly a bit regrettable.

But the machine indeed doesn’t require his operation.

And indeed, his skills have become obsolete.

Guo Kezhao is Fox Mountain’s brick, needing to demonstrate value wherever needed, and can’t stagnate at the Herb Workshop!

He tilted his head, grinned cunningly, proud of having hidden this regret and melancholy from Master!

“Howl howl howl!”

He turned and jumped up the distillation tower, pulled out a small brush from his tool bag, and continued cleaning.

…

“What? The damage is so severe!”

Standing by a seven-layer concentric pillar, Bai Mo frowned.

Each of the seven layers inside and outside the concentric pillar had its function.

In front of him, this one was eroded by time into a huge cavity that penetrated five layers!

The broken section still revealed the Immortal Qi Circuits!

“The ointment, oil film, lubrication inside the equipment are all gone, I’ll have to concoct them myself later to make up for it.

“But with the structure corroded away and the Immortal Qi Circuits inside, I really don’t know how to repair it…”

This wasn’t an isolated issue.

Besides this copper pillar, several facilities were weathered, corroded, broken, shattered over the long years…

The more complex and intricate the facilities, they tended to be more fragile, less durable against time, and likelier to be damaged over the years…

“Even damaged is better than none.

“First understand its function.

“Then find ways to replace it with other machines or repair it.”

Bai Mo took out a pen and began to observe up and down, looking for various inscriptions and diagrams engraved on this pillar.

The apprentice Black Bracelet also widened his eyes, shaking his furry head, scanning the copper pillar with Master.

…

Whoosh…

The strong wind blew, sand flying densely.

Black Ears and White Ears huddled together beside a set of parallel Return Dragon Valves, busy cleaning.

This set of parallel valves totaled nine.

Seven were already clean of mud crust and dust, leaving two still encased in earth.

The two foxes wielded small hammers, gently tapping at the mud crust.
