Master of Ten Thousand Foxes

Chapter 715: Chapter 383: Bai Mo’s Hammer Technique (Part 2)

[...In order to increase the power of the Hammer Technique, to make the strikes faster and more unexpected, I specifically learned the Hidden Hammer Technique from the Marquis!]

[After shrinking the Alchemy Furnace, hide it in the mouth, and when exchanging harsh words with the enemy, unexpectedly spit it out, enlarge it, and smash it towards the enemy, often with miraculous effects]

[The Marquis also appreciated my Hidden Hammer Technique; she even helped knock out a molar so I could hide the shrunken Alchemy Furnace in the tooth cavity]

Bai Mo was amazed.

[Later, during a campaign against a Fallen Immortal, the Alchemy Furnace got stuck in the teeth and couldn’t be retrieved, almost getting him killed by the Fallen Immortal—that’s a story for another time]

Bai Mo’s mouth twitched.

"Marquis Qing Yue, she... she has such a peculiar mindset, doing such quirky things... it seems quite normal."

[The Marquis once suggested it’s critical, never to shrink the Alchemy Furnace and stuff it in the ear. This would affect hearing, which is very disadvantageous in battle]

[But you can stuff the Alchemy Furnace into the nostril!]

[During combat, a humph from the nostril expels the Alchemy Furnace, the most unexpected, capable of executing a surprise attack]

Bai Mo, unmoved, already familiar with the Marquis’s husky-like traits.

"She knocks out others’ teeth, teaches others to stuff Alchemy Furnaces in their nostrils, so where does she hide hers usually?"

The nearby Bronze Mask leapt up for joy, floating and flying, as it knew the answer to this question!

It flew to Bai Mo’s chest, gently rubbed against it, full of pride, letting Bai Mo experience the Marquis’s wit!

Bai Mo was speechless.

Swipe...

Arriving at the destination, the car stopped.

Bai Mo got out of the car with a few apprentices and saw the big mountain ahead and the massive boulder blocking the cave.

"Eh? Another piece of Immortal Gold?"

"Last time, Iron Rod Mountain was an Immortal Gold Stick.

"This time, this blocking stone is an Immortal Gold Lump?"

Bai Mo stood by the car, calling the disciples to make way, while rummaging through his jacket pocket.

He sifted through the phone, power bank, and earphone wires, until finally finding a bunch of keys.

He pulled out a bunch of keys with a "ding-a-ling" sound, found the black round keychain, detached it, flicked his finger, and flung it like a glass marble towards the Immortal Gold Lump blocking the door!

"Maybe inside that cave, there are Pill Formulas and cultivation methods?

"No one can stop me from approaching knowledge!"

The small black ball whizzed out, grew larger in the air with the wind, expanding to the size of a car wheel, with a loud "boom" like thunder, hit the Immortal Gold Lump, bounced back, shrunk again, flew back into Bai Mo’s hand, and he pocketed it among a jumble of phones, keys, and power banks...

Yes, this small black ball was the Alchemy Furnace, the Yin Grass Furnace, he retrieved from Douluo Heaven!

The apprentices shrank behind the master, craning their necks to see the Immortal Gold Lump that the master had struck.

A pit created by the master’s strike rapidly spread with "crack crack" crisp sounds, extending dense spider webs of cracks all over the Immortal Gold Lump!

Boom!

Amidst a loud noise, dust flew, and the Immortal Gold Lump collapsed, crumbling into fragments the size of a fox’s head.

Amid the joyful leaps and celebrations of the foxes, Bai Mo, ignoring the dust, swiftly leapt into the cave to explore the documents inside.

Amid rolling dust, the cave was pitch black.

As Bai Mo spread his Divine Sense, the most conspicuous thing he found was a bronze stele.

The stele inscribed the text of Sequence Five.

[To encourage Pill Palace Immortals to cultivate the Hammer Technique, this Hammer Testing Mountain is specially cast today]

[All who practice the Hammer Technique can attack this embryo with full force]

[Those who leave an imprint can have their name listed]

A long list of names was below.

[Guiyan Immortal left a hammer mark of one foot five]

[Celestial Speed Immortal left a hammer mark of one foot three]

[Long Mi Immortal left a hammer mark of two feet eight]

Bai Mo wasn’t very interested in this and moved on to look elsewhere in the cave, finding what looked like a rest area, with some bronze beds and Bronze Lamp Trees, some already decayed or broken in an earthquake, with only a few spots intact.

"Ah?

"No documents?

"All excitement for nothing."

Bai Mo instinctively glanced at the stone stele again.

"The Hammer Testing Mountain... uh, where’s that mountain? I want to try it too?"

As Bai Mo’s Divine Sense scanned the entire scene, it swept over the jubilant apprentices rushing in to search for treasure, saw those, one by one, happily transporting Immortal Gold fragments at the cave entrance, but only found the regular stone mountain structure of this mountain and no sign of any Hammer Testing Mountain?

Where did the Hammer Testing Mountain go? Over thousands of years, enough for oceans to shift, did it change location due to an earthquake or landslide? Where did it go?

"Eh?"

His reaction was swift as he looked at the pile of crushed Immortal Gold Lump by the door he had just smashed, gazing at the shattered pieces of Immortal Gold.

"Could it be... Hammer Testing Mountain is actually this?"

...

In the blink of an eye, a few days passed.

The previous snowfall in West State had just finished, and before it melted away completely, another round of snow arrived.

In the morning, Bai Mo sat at his desk, drinking hot milk, watching the heavy snow fluttering outside the window.

"This year is really strange, has West State become a snow nest?"

The fox apprentice, Pudding Tea, nestled in his master’s arms, was also holding a cup of hot milk, looking outside, echoing the same sentiment as his master.

"Awoo, awoo, awoo!"

...Though it hadn’t been to the mortal world many times, it didn’t know if West State was indeed a snow nest.

Beside them, Fang Xiaoyu was looking at the computer screen, with both hands tucked into her down jacket sleeves, only her fingertips exposed, lightly rubbing the mouse.

"Expert Bai Mo, there’s a lot of chatter online again!

"Everyone says that Expert Jiao Su is at one factory, you’re at another, and the two of you are having a showdown!

"Ah... some of your fans have entered the scene, and their comments are quite aggressive."

Bai Mo stood up while holding his apprentice and leaned behind Fang Xiaoyu.

"Let me see, what’s their way of attacking..."

But on the screen, he saw Bai Mo’s fans uniformly replying.

"[Please don’t just pick a fight!]"

Bai Mo smiled awkwardly.

He returned to his desk and looked again at the research progress sent by Professor Hong Anxi... Indeed, he had managed to create a Snow Lotus Qi Boosting Soup without the Desert Valley Snow Clam, though it took a bit of effort, the results were decent.

But this thing, from the Alchemy Furnace to the lab, then to the factory, was difficult at every step.

He broke down the entire research work into individual steps and had already distributed them to Professor Hong Anxi and the others.

He saw Professor Hong Anxi complaining in a private message.

"[This time, it’s really challenging!]"

"[Everyone’s barely holding on, gritting their teeth to push through.]

"[A lot of things are not well understood, they simply follow the requirements and documentation and just brute force it.]

"[Yet the current progress is okay, advancing quite quickly.]

"[The first batch of samples is about to be produced, just not sure about the yield rate.]

Bai Mo grinned, sending Professor Hong a cheer-up emoji, closed the chat window, and opened the Immortal Committee’s database, ready to casually browse something.

...

The Heluo Region had also once again welcomed heavy snow.

"Achoo!

"Hmph..."

In the office, Jiao Su, wearing a down jacket, was using a tissue to cover his nose and blew his nose.

Amidst pushing forward with work, he was also checking the Immortal Discussion Forum.

At this moment, upon seeing the buzz about "two factories in competition," he grinned audibly.

What a coincidence!

He had just heard from his master about this Snow Lotus Qi Boosting Soup, the main ingredient was the Snow Clam, not the Snow Lotus.

"Hahaha, I really want to see how capable you are, see how you’ll manage to concoct it."

...

Outside the Shangjing Immortal Committee window, snowflakes were likewise drifting and dancing.

In the office, Hua Yuyue was holding a file, glancing alternately at it and the computer screen, with an increasingly peculiar expression.

This was a file just sent by the Secret Brain Office, about the Snow Lotus Qi Boosting Soup!

"[Snow Lotus Qi Boosting Soup, highly nourishing, one bowl makes you five years younger, two bowls increase the strength of one ox, three bowls increase half the strength of an ox, four bowls have no further effect.]

"[Main ingredients, Desert Valley Snow Clam, Snow Lotus...]

Hua Yuyue closed his eyes, pinched his brow, and let out a long sigh.

The previous formula given to Bai Mo was copied from a damaged copper plate, given incorrectly!

The damaged copper plate had conveniently cut off the beginning words "Desert Valley Snow Clam."

"Isn’t this just sabotaging someone?

"How could anyone concoct it like this?"

He picked up the phone, dialing Professor Li Yun’s number.
