Chapter 525 - 291: Introducing a Money-Making Expert
In the kitchen, more and more fox apprentices gathered around the stove to look at the large leaf their master had just grown.
"Ying ying ying?"
Snow Exploration Claw had some rice grains sticking to the corner of their mouth as they gently touched the leaf with a paw.
It felt very thick and very flexible!
"Ao ao ao?"
Peach Blossom Eyes widened their eyes, observing the leaf.
They saw that the leaf was overall light yellow, with a texture like mango skin.
"Ying ying ying?"
White Earrings looked at their master... What on earth was this? What was it for?
Bai Mo, while picking up different fallen branches and leaves and placing them in various positions in the pot for this large leaf to absorb, frowned, unsure.
"It somewhat resembles the... Bitter Leaf as recorded in the texts?
"But the ones in the texts weren’t this big... could it be it isn’t..."
He smacked his lips.
"It’s also possible that ours has mutated!
"Or perhaps... the Ancient Immortals really couldn’t figure it out?"
Bai Mo was not too sure.
This seed, which Guan Yuexi risked his life to snatch back, was not something he dared to be careless with. He used all the abilities of the Master of Communication to listen to what the seed needed and then carefully provided it... Fortunately, this seed was not difficult to keep alive. It needed nothing else; it craved that hint of samsara’s silent extinction from when the fire of life extinguishes!
While it sounded high-end, this could actually be found in fallen branches and leaves.
Bai Mo cautiously, with his Divine Sense enveloping the entire kitchen, occasionally beckoned, attracted a specific leaf, placed it in a specific position in the pot, and cautiously fed it to the Bitter Leaf.
Gradually, the two large leaves had already turned into massive blankets spanning dozens of square meters, a scale that was astonishing.
The fox apprentices hurriedly backed away, each staring with wide eyes, their fluffy heads buzzing with whispers of awe... It has been a long time since their master personally cultivated Immortal Grass, and this time it was indeed shocking!
"Okay, it’s almost at the limit.
"Let’s leave it at that for now!"
Bai Mo stopped his hands, stood up between the two large leaves, his Divine Sense spreading, observing carefully.
"So... what use did Guan Yuexi have for snatching this thing?"
The records in the documents found on Fox Mountain contained scant and vague references to this item.
Bai Mo vaguely remembered that it was an accessory worn by dancers.
He observed with his Divine Sense and occasionally used his hands to inspect.
"What’s so special about this?"
There are many oddities among the Immortal Grass, whether in size, medicinal properties, toxicity, or toughness... this didn’t rank in any.
Bai Mo examined it for a while but couldn’t deduce any significant finding.
The waters of the Ancient Immortal Dynasty ran very deep, with many trivial and messy matters, and he simply decided not to dwell on it further; he waved his hand generously.
"Let’s first move it to the warehouse for storage.
"Maybe it’ll be useful in the future."
...
After breakfast, another new day of work began at Fox Mountain.
One by one, red silhouettes spread across the workshops on the mountain, the relics behind the mountain, and the herb fields at the foot of the mountain.
Swoosh...
The second-floor car, facing greater wind resistance, shuttled through the herb fields, heading to the boundary of the ten-thousand-acre herb field.
A new route was chosen for today.
Bai Mo sat on the second floor, looking out at the herb fields through the window.
He occasionally saw maintenance trucks carrying tools and fox apprentices passing by.
Sometimes he saw apprentices carrying various instruments, looking serious, inspecting wells, pipelines, and Ghost Eye One.
At times he saw the busy maintenance team in the special herb fields, mixing special fertilizers, performing specialized maintenance.
Swoosh...
The car stopped at the frontline of the development of the ten-thousand-acre herb field.
Beside the wheels lay a newly cultivated field, with soft soil already sprouting fluffy shoots.
In the distance, apprentices were digging ditches for the herb field, laying pipelines, and installing Ghost Eye One.
Further afield, there were plowing machines opening up the wild grasslands with noisy whirrs and rumbling machines drilling wells, breaking through the ground.
"Ying ying ying!"
Overalls took out tables and chairs from the compartment.
"Ao ao ao!"
Butterfly Knot helped their master open up the foldable windproof canopy on the side of the car.
"Ying ying ying!"
Small and Big Eyes set up a tablet, power bank, tea, fruits, and snacks on the table.
Bai Mo took a sip, sat behind the table in a comfortable position, opened the tablet, had a sip of tea, grabbed a pen, patted the chubby heads of the apprentices beside him, and began to observe the newly sprouted shoots just breaking through the soil and the newly unfurling leaves.
While observing, he recalled the knowledge from contemporary texts and the Ancient Immortal Dynasty texts, slowly verifying and perfecting it.
"When the world changes, the earliest sprouts cannot adapt, they grit their teeth and endure.
"The later sprouts, benefiting from their predecessors, are born to bear dimmer light and withstand stronger winds.
"Their ancestors have already decayed in the soil..."
Bai Mo cast his gaze downward, and sure enough, there were remnants of leaves in the freshly turned soil.
He studied and took notes as he went.
He felt that the field of leaves was not far from reaching the knowledge perfection!
Beside him, Overalls, Butterfly Knot, and Small and Big Eyes stood in a row, ready to receive their master’s orders. In their idle moments, they turned to watch the developing herb fields.
"Ying ying ying!"
"Ao ao ao!"
Upon successful establishment of these herb fields, there will be no need for the foxes to do the planting. Once the facilities are installed, they will continuously produce.
The three foxes unanimously agreed that rounding it up means it’s free, just like picking freebies!
They tilted their chubby heads and grinned mischievously.
Swoosh... swoosh...
Suddenly, a few small vehicles with extra-large wheels whizzed past them.
A smiling fox face popped out of the car window, waving a paw in greeting.
"Ao ao ao!"
It was none other than Big Nose from the wilderness exploration team!
