Chapter 901: Chapter 476: The West State Boss’s Gentleness (2)

"Ah!"

The Ancient Immortal roared in anger, his gums biting out blood!

His inkstone, his talisman brush, his three hundred apprentices, his talisman workshop, all were ruined!

...

"Sigh."

In the office.

The male secretary leaned lazily on the sofa, already asleep.

Chairman Chen Shu sat behind the desk, bearing dark circles under his eyes, scrolling with the mouse wheel, reviewing a freshly drafted document on "Strengthening Food and Water Immortal Related Regulation."

A report from the action team popped up in the bottom right corner of the screen.

[No abnormalities found]

Chairman Chen Shu sighed, clicked open the message, and quickly typed a reply.

[Understood, mission over, come back]

A sense of helplessness welled up in his heart.

In this silent night, he sipped his tea, feeling lost and helpless amidst the silence as he had done on countless silent nights before.

He discreetly glanced at his sleeping secretary, ensuring no one could see him, then swiftly wiped his tears with his sleeve.

"Perhaps... the end of the world really is coming?"

As he raised his cup of tea, he noticed it had steeped for a long time, turning a reddish-orange. He took a large gulp, smacked his lips, and continued to the next document.

"Suggestions on Strengthening Toilet and Waste Immortal Related Management"

As he read, he would occasionally furrow his brow, contemplate the budget, the manpower, the social impact, while annotating the document... the office remained quiet, with only the sound of his typing breaking the silence.

After editing a section, he rubbed his eyes and smiled.

"Let’s see how you’ll manage to steal waste now?"

"Heh heh."

He subconsciously looked up at the secretary.

"Help me call the sanitation department... uh..."

He awkwardly closed his mouth.

Because the little secretary was lying on the sofa, dead asleep.

He shook his head with a bitter smile.

"I’m the foolish one."

"Sanitation workers don’t work in the middle of the night."

He smacked his lips again, pondering.

"Having a secretary work twenty-four hours a day, every day, really isn’t appropriate.

"I’ll need to find another secretary and have them take shifts."

He looked out the window and saw delicate flowers still blooming on the tree.

"I wonder if the West State Boss is involved in this?

"I wonder how it has all evolved?"

...

In the great hall of the cafeteria.

Bai Mo finished reading a few useless documents and felt slightly frustrated.

He recalled the medicine he had just concocted.

Its power on the human body had been adjusted very low by him.

It was just enough to disable the right hand, preventing talisman drawing, yet still allowing for a semblance of normal life.

"It should... be alright, I guess?"

...

In the dark single apartment.

A young girl suddenly sat up!

Clack!

She turned on the bedside lamp.

The light revealed her hand, crisscrossed with mottled ink marks.

The ink had seeped beneath her skin, impossible to scrub or wash away.

This ink ruined her hand, causing it to tremble uncontrollably, rendering her unable to write anymore.

But she grabbed her blanket, burying her head and weeping "wu wu wu" in pain.

Letting her tears soak the blanket.

When she wrote the talismans, she could feel something inside her flowing away!

When she dipped the brush in black ink, she knew where it came from!

She didn’t want to harm others, nor dared to defy the Ancient Immortal, nor wished to deplete herself bit by bit.

Every day, she bore immense mental pressure, awaiting death’s approach.

But today, her hand was ruined, ruined, ruined!

She attained release!

Perhaps no one in the world but her and her fellow apprentices knew what happened tonight.

But the kindness of the West State Boss, they all felt it.

...

Whoo...

Fierce winds howled, brushing against the outer walls of the dormitory great hall.

In the darkness, foxes gathered in circles, "yipping and yapping" in their language, gesturing and boasting!

In a corner of the great hall, Bai Mo sat cross-legged with a computer in his lap, in front of him the freshly tuned Time Furnace.

Behind him stood his fox apprentice White Earrings, along with Big Snowflake and Little Snowflake, who were on duty with their master today.

White Earrings held a cup of tea for their master.

Big Snowflake held a tray of snacks for their master.

Little Snowflake stood behind her master, using Fox Claw to massage his back!

Thud thud thud, each hit made Bai Mo’s face full of smiles.

"When did you learn this?"

He laughed as he thought, controlling the Time Furnace to spin, observing the smoothness of its rotation.

"Seems like, it’s almost done?"

...

On the other side of the dormitory hall.

Big Nose, White Shoes, and Black Toe, three foxes, sat at the bar, guarding a cup of wine.

"Ying ying ying!"

Big Nose pinched a waxy lemon, letting a drop of lemon juice fall into the bronze wine cup.

Drip drop...

Sizzle sizzle...

Immediately, the wine in the cup fizzed with bubbles!

And the liquid turned into a beautiful blue-green color!

The three foxes grinned and laughed out loud.

"Ying ying ying!"

"Ao ao ao!"

"Ying ying ying!"

A cocktail recipe never thought of before!

A beverage color never seen before!

Big Nose closed his eyes, sniffing gently.

"Ao?"

The smell seemed... nothing special.

White Shoes approached with his mouth, about to take a sip, then suddenly stopped, looking at their master.

"Ao?"

Such a pretty drink, Master hasn’t tried it yet!

The three foxes grinned, instantly picking up the wine cup, calling "Ying ying ao ao" as they ran to find their master!

...

Whoosh...

In the pitch-black great hall, cold winds howled.

Medicine Monkey Ancient Immortal guarded three large tripods, bustling about.

From time to time, he added a drop of Soul Reviving Grass juice into this tripod, and a handful of Qingqiu Aloe powder into that one.

And in the cabinet behind him, various weird herbs were arrayed.

Poison Master Wang E stood beside him, assisting and chatting with him.

"...Anyway, Tie Pi Immortal’s side is utterly done for.

"His workshop was completely destroyed by the West State Boss."

Medicine Monkey Ancient Immortal stirred the potion in the furnace, occasionally sniffing the scent.

"Done for? Haha, serves him right.

"Why insist on going to the West State to steal human aura?

"After being discovered, why not stop immediately?

"Those fools outside the Alchemy Path never want to admit others’ prowess.

"Serves them right to be dealt with.

"In immortal cultivation, one must learn to seize the moment.

"Since the West State can’t be accessed, just do business elsewhere."

Wang E took the spoon his master retrieved from the furnace, immediately flattering him.

"Master, what you said, I have to agree.

"Others can’t all be as smart and clear-minded as you!

"After all, you are the dragon and phoenix among immortals, extremely rare.

"Though they seem stupid, their real intelligence is just that, they just don’t know how to seize the moment like you..."

The Ancient Immortal looked pleased, listening to his disciple praise him for five minutes, grinning and waving his hand, then instructing his disciple to fetch a skimmer.

"Enough flattery, we immortal cultivators don’t care for it.

"Quickly, scoop out the dregs from the furnace.

"I need to use Divine Sense to start a spin in this pot of potion!"

Poison Master Wang E’s eyes lit up!

"Start a spin? What’s that?

"Master, are you going to broaden my horizons again?

"Following you, it’s like refreshing my knowledge every day..."

He boasted while swiftly removing the dregs from the furnace with a skimmer.

Once cleared, Medicine Monkey Ancient Immortal grinned, his dead fish eyes gleaming, staring at the potion in the furnace!

Divine Sense surged from his forehead like wind, controlling the potion in the furnace!

The soup’s surface gradually spun, becoming a vortex, spinning faster, emitting a "wa la la" sound!

"This potion spin was originally a workshop technique.

"In the workshop, they could achieve three thousand revolutions for the potion!

"But my Divine Sense can make it reach ten thousand revolutions!"

Poison Master Wang E could roughly tell that his master wasn’t bluffing.

Because the potion in the furnace had turned into a very peculiar state!

The surface of the vortex was smooth yet misty with water vapor!

The medicine furnace trembled rapidly with a terrifying frequency, emitting a "thud thud thud thud" sound!
