The kids hitting others were increasingly exhilarated.

The kids being hit cried more and more pitifully.

Cheers, the sounds of fists, and cries merged into one.

"Hey hey hey, watch my move!"

The kid hitting others was reckless, actually swinging his fist to smash Feng En Di's back of the head!

It was exactly at this moment...

Boom!

With a loud noise, dust erupted, and the kid hitting others was forcefully thrown and rolled several meters like a tumbling gourd.

The surrounding kids watching the commotion were also dumbfounded.

When the dust settled, a little chubby fox wearing a black sweater stood with a round belly, one paw behind his back, the other grabbing Feng En Di's shoulder, lifting him up.

Hu Toujian was very angry!

Kids fighting is fine; winning or losing is understandable.

But hitting the back of the head is not acceptable!

That's just too mean!

At this moment, he squinted his eyes, unleashing his aura, striking a pose of a Martial Arts Junior Grandmaster!

The surrounding kids were scared, one after another turned and ran away crying.

...

Upstairs, Bai Mo frowned, stood up, and glanced downstairs.

Feeling that Hu Toujian handled it well, since the kid hitting wasn't injured and just ran away crying, he didn't interfere further.

Kids don't differentiate right from wrong; their violence often stems from an instinctive desire for violence, purer and, to some extent, more malicious.

Letting Hu Toujian teach them a lesson is quite good.

Returning to his desk, he continued reading plant-related "flower" material in the database.

...

"Master! Teach me martial arts!"

Under a big tree, Feng En Di, with a face full of snot and tears, looking dirty like a kitten, gazed at Hu Toujian, full of gratitude.

Hu Toujian puffed up his belly, paws crossed, exuding a grandmaster's demeanor, gently shook his head.

The Fox Mountain martial arts are indeed formidable, but unfortunately, never taught outside!

Even he, Hu Toujian, is not qualified to take on disciples yet.

Feng En Di paused momentarily, suddenly turned and sprinted away, rushing into the family apartment building opposite.

Hu Toujian was puzzled, then watched Feng En Di quickly run back out, holding an ice cream.

"Then I'll call you big brother!

"Thank you for saving me!"

Hu Toujian tilted his head, maintaining his grandmaster pose, eyes lingering over the ice cream.

Seems like it's Hada Kanshi?

Looks quite expensive!

This young brother knows his manners!

Whoosh!

He swiftly reached out and grabbed the ice cream.

Crunch!

Tearing the wrapper, he clamped it in his mouth.

The fox's face instantly beamed with joy... the taste was indeed nice!

He looked at Feng En Di again, then motioned with his front paw. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

This young brother has such good manners, let's make an exception and teach him a couple of real moves, and then go find those kids for revenge!

Fox Mountain's Alchemist Fist cannot be taught, but a few simple Baji Fist moves can be taught!

...

Inside a distant window, a woman dressed cleanly, with simple makeup and hair tied at the back, cast her gaze, watching her son learn martial arts from the Fox Immortal Beast while talking on the phone with her husband.

Though she already had faint wrinkles on her face, her waist remained slender and her figure very well maintained.

"Old Feng, are we really not visiting?

"Their status is very high!

"Ah, right, I know, the property management has notified all households before, not to disturb them.

"But, your son is playing with their Immortal Beast!

"Just now, when your son was being hit, I saw their Immortal Beast helping to resolve the situation.

"It's not too much to offer thanks?

"Perhaps maintaining a good relationship, with one word, they could get you transferred back..."

On the other end of the phone, a middle-aged man's hoarse voice interrupted his wife's words in surprise.

"Immortal Beast?

"What Immortal Beast?

"Isn't Expert Bai Mo a Sequence Seven academic expert?

"Where would he get an Immortal Beast?"

The middle-aged woman pursed her lips.

"You don't know?

"Expert Bai Mo is not only an academic expert but also a Sequence Nine Immortal Technique expert!"

The middle-aged man on the phone suddenly panicked!

"Didn't I say it already? Our family absolutely does not get involved with immortals, absolutely no!

"Hurry up and bring En Di back!

"He can't be allowed to play with the Immortal Beast!"

Madam Feng pouted, very impatient.

"Alright, alright! I get it!

"Can't see you all year round, hardly any money, can't spend time with the son, can't spend time with the wife, yet the rules are so strict!

"Pfft!"

She spat at the receiver and hung up the phone.

Why not just call the son back?

But, she saw outside the window, in the twilight, under the big tree, her son was seriously practicing martial arts moves.

The Immortal Beast was puffing up its belly, with the air of a master, demonstrating to him at times, correcting his moves at times.

Her son was really serious.

Besides this Immortal Beast, no other children would play with her son.

They only bullied her son.

Madam Feng pouted, furrowed her brows, looked at her phone, and inexplicably felt a surge of resentment!

"Hmph! Let the son play with the Immortal Beast!

"Damn Old Feng, if you don't come back, you can't control it!"

She rested her hand on the windowsill, watching her son's martial arts moves were learning really well, gradually showing a smile.

Before long, she saw her son running off with the Immortal Beast, not knowing where to.

"Ah? Where to? Could anything go wrong?"

Worried, she thought it over, she had checked the information yesterday, Expert Bai Mo, when he was an Immortal Technique expert, was good at fighting! Plus, it's in this family area, nothing can go wrong. She was relieved and turned to the kitchen.

"Tonight, I'll cook beef brisket for my son."

...

Upstairs, after reading an article, Bai Mo refilled the cup of tea with hot water, and took a sip.

Looking down, he had a peculiar expression.

"Hu Toujian, taking the newly recognized little brother out for revenge?

"Using just the few moves it taught him?"

Will that work?

Bai Mo tugged at the corners of his mouth, not quite sure.

He opened the window, stood by the windowsill, enjoying the evening breeze, glanced at the sunset glow, and the lights illuminating West State City in the distance, pondering over a couple of questions.

He heard sobbing sounds and looked down to see Hu Toujian walking back with its front paws behind it.

Following behind, Feng En Di, covered in dust, was sobbing incessantly with a bruised face.

...

Hu Toujian was also quite frustrated.

After all, they had ice cream, which was equivalent to taking tuition fees.

But how come the Baji Fist it taught its little brother couldn't defeat those kids' Turtle Fist?

It walked ahead, holding its head high, squinting, not daring to look back at the little brother... This was too embarrassing!

"Ying ying ying, awoo awoo ying ying!"

It tossed a few words in "fox-speak" to its little brother, meaning it would help him get revenge tomorrow, and then it hurriedly jumped, "shoosh shoosh shoosh," leaping over big trees, air conditioner units, back to its own window, and into master's arms.

"Ying ying ying!"

Bai Mo petted its head, smiling helplessly.

"You this... sigh...

"Today you should go back to Fox Mountain.

"I'll go and apologize for you later."

...

Under the surging dark clouds, the gale swept into the Bronze Hall.

Inside the hall, pots of plants were placed in sections. They had changed to a new batch, from fruit-bearing plants to flowering ones.

"Ying ying ying!"

Small and Big Eyes stared wide-eyed, picking ants out of the stamens with a claw.

"Awoo awoo!"

Butterfly Knot holding a large banana leaf, was crafting a wind cover for a pot of tiny morning glories.

Bai Mo sat at the very back of the hall, behind the Bronze Table, reading the recently delivered excavated manuscripts from his apprentices.

[...Same Sequence Six, but different fates]

[The offspring of prince's households can obtain a large amount of Primordial Immortal Qi, spending it one bucket after another, practicing their sequence's immortal techniques over and over]

[Ascendant immortals from grassroots can only work for nobles to earn a little Primordial Immortal Qi, saving for years, perhaps eventually accumulating one bucket]

[A rare few among them use that one bucket of Qi to attempt an immortal technique, savoring the exhilaration of a super immortal technique]

[Most of them use that one bucket of Qi to exchange for knowledge necessary for leveling up, hoping to tread further on the path of becoming an immortal]

Bai Mo, feeling the copper plate, couldn't help but furrow his brow.

This passage, why does it seem so... familiar?

As he continued reading, he slowly understood.

It turned out, in the Ancient Immortal Dynasty, super immortal herbs like the Purple Earth Dragon and Harlan Zhongli were all in the hands of the nobles.

Ordinary Sequence Six Immortals wouldn't have these things, nor the power to sustain them.

"It seems that even in the Ancient Immortal Dynasty, there were huge disparities in the same Sequence Six."
