Master of Ten Thousand Foxes-Chapter 72 - 66: The Half-Practiced Useless Swordsmanship
In the early morning, the living room was slightly gloomy. Bai Mo sat at the dining table, eating breakfast while looking at his phone.
The breakfast was a big bowl of small dumplings, snow-white dumplings, clear soup, with bright green scallions, bursting with a rich meaty aroma in the mouth.
On the phone was a bank notification, the extra bonus promised by Chairman Chen Shu had arrived!
"So generous!"
Bai Mo counted the zeros to confirm, a full one hundred thousand yuan!
"The money in my account is increasing."
For some reason, the more money there was in the bank card, the more Bai Mo felt that this small house was too cramped and uncomfortable to live in...
Suddenly, another message from Fang Xiaoyu arrived.
[Expert Bai Mo, regarding the previous protection of Zhang Yuan, there’s another matter I’d like to consult you about]
[Can we have an encrypted communication online? I’ll add you to a group, is that okay?]
Consultation?
That would be very convenient!
After all, the hundred thousand yuan had just arrived and wasn’t even warm yet.
Bai Mo immediately replied.
[Sure]
A small group quickly added Bai Mo. In the group were several Immortal Technique Committee members he didn’t recognize.
[Hello Expert Bai Mo]
[We are very grateful for your Immortal Beast, which helped us kill the villains, protected Zhang Yuan, and saved the Committee’s reputation!]
[We would also like to consult if your Immortal Beast, after killing the villains’ Three Souls and Six Spirits, could sense... the location of the villains’ bodies?]
Oh?
Bai Mo furrowed his brows.
White Ears killed that fly because its claws happened to have the special effect of dispelling evil.
As for sensing the body, that’s purely overthinking it.
[Um... I’m sorry]
The group exchanged pleasantries for a while, then disbanded the chat.
...
The sky over Fox Mountain was, as always, covered with dense clouds.
The fox apprentices were either busy in the medicine fields or digging in the ruins.
Bai Mo sat in the Bronze Hall, continuing to study the medicine prescriptions, occasionally picking up herbs from the table to sniff and sinking his divine sense into them to observe.
Suddenly, the sound of footsteps was heard.
It was the fox apprentice Black Shoes, carrying a small bucket, running quickly.
"Ying ying ying!"
What is it?
Another yield from the medicine field?
Bai Mo took the small bucket, glanced inside, and his eyes immediately lit up.
"Claw Vine seeds!
"Ha, I’ve been waiting for this for so long.
"Black Shoes, call a few senior brothers, come with me to the dormitory."
...
Fox Mountain had many huge palaces, but none were in perfect condition. Some had collapsed walls, others had rotten roofs. The dormitory was the best among them, with complete walls and small window holes, the only flaw being two huge holes in the roof!
A dozen fox apprentices followed their master to the dormitory door.
People and foxes, under the huge palace, appeared extremely small.
The sky was covered with clouds, a howling wind blew, entering through one roof hole and exiting through another, as if blowing a giant spoon, making a loud wailing!
Black Shoes, Peach Blossom Eyes, and the other senior brothers each carried tools, following their master. Some held bundles of branches, some small buckets with seeds, some small buckets with fertilizer.
With furry heads raised and ears erected, they listened to their master’s speech.
"Carefully climb onto the roof...
"Soak the seeds first, try to spread them evenly into the gaps between tiles, don’t let the wind blow them away...
"Plug branches into the gaps between tiles over the holes... "
The group of foxes was a bit puzzled. Although they didn’t know exactly what the master wanted to do, they still perked up their ears to listen carefully. After all, the master was always right.
After listening, they frowned to memorize, ensuring they hadn’t made any mistakes.
A dozen foxes held branches and small buckets in their mouths, their front and hind claws revealing sharp nails, swiftly climbed the towering huge palace!
Bai Mo stood at the foot of the palace, watching his apprentices climb higher and higher, watching their figures grow smaller, watching them reach the palace roof and begin busy work. On the huge dark blue tile roof, there were now a dozen busy small red figures.
Occasionally, when the strong winds blew, they would temporarily stop their work, lie down, grip the tiles, and hold onto their small buckets.
When the wind subsided a bit, they continued working, moving swiftly, busy as bees.
The wind was strong, and the palace’s tile roof, having withstood a million years, was not as stable. But fortunately, the foxes were light, so there was no danger.
...
After the work was finished, a dozen fox apprentices held empty buckets, using all four paws, swiftly climbed down, returning to their master’s side.
They still didn’t quite understand why they had to spread seeds on the dormitory roof?
Just then...
The vast roof of the palace suddenly rustled!
Each piece of tile began to tremble!
Beneath the tiles, green sprouted, and quickly vines sprang out, growing long, spreading, dense, thickening... These vines grew branched like small snakes, tightly intertwining tiles. More branches grew, like small snakes, tightly binding beams.
Before long, the vines grew into tendrils, the tendrils grew densely into patches, actually crowning this vast palace with a green cap!
The fox apprentices looked up, mouths agape, eyes filled with wonder.
Those seeds, that fertilizer, was it really this magical?
Bai Mo led the fox apprentices inside the palace.
Stepping over the threshold, they saw that the light was much darker than usual.
Looking up at the two huge holes, they were slowly being patched by the vines, gradually sealed by the ever-growing vines!
Bai Mo smiled.
"Not bad.
"This kind of Claw Vine is indeed very suitable for repairing palaces."
