Master of Ten Thousand Foxes-Chapter 90 - 77: The Eerie Medical Examination Machine!
The sky above Fox Mountain remains unchanged, shrouded in dense clouds.
For three years, in this dreamscape, Bai Mo has never seen a ray of sunlight.
The fierce wind blows, Bai Mo accompanied by a group of fox disciples, looks at the Jade Food Tree before him, seeing it rise up like a giant tower, watching the Pill Fire burning fiercely atop swaying in the wind.
Burp...
Beside him, Black Shoes burped. It ate the porridge made from Jade Food Fruit too hastily.
It squints its eyes, its eyeballs rolling around, confirming that neither the master nor the brothers noticed its burp, only then did it relax, and once more stood beside the master with its belly bulging, forepaws tucked behind.
"Quite good."
Bai Mo nodded.
Over the past few days, the situation with the Jade Food Tree has completely stabilized. The fox disciples even dug tunnels under the tree to monitor the growth of its roots.
This tree possesses a terrifying rapid growth trait, with enormous potential and usefulness.
"Take good care of this tree, don’t let it grow recklessly, but also ensure its health."
Black Shoes nodded, patting its chest with the forepaws, promising the master it could complete the task!
...
West State City Immortal Technique Committee.
Building A, twentieth floor, newly opened health check-up center, bustling with activity, lively and buzzing.
"I’ve heard this check-up is worth several thousand dollars."
"The inspection items are very detailed."
"Hahaha, a free check-up, a welfare benefit for nothing, why not take advantage?"
"I don’t particularly mind, the key is being able to bring family along, it’s great to have my wife undergo a check-up."
Today is the expert advisor check-up special session.
Experts of strange forms gather in groups of threes and fives, wandering from one examination room to another, chatting while queuing.
Bai Mo queued outside the room measuring height and weight.
White Ears slung a small medicine box diagonally, occasionally picking it up to listen close to her ears, wanting to hear the sound of Roadside Flowers growing inside...though she couldn’t discern anything.
Its pair of fox eyes swept over the experts preceding and succeeding in line, through the queues at the doors of other examination rooms, a smile appearing on its face. With so many Immortal-Related Personnel present, Roadside Flowers could have a great time listening to the buzz!
Indeed, Bai Mo and his disciples came just for the Roadside Flowers. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎
Otherwise, Bai Mo wouldn’t need a check-up at all.
In the queue, Master Chong was ahead of Bai Mo, turned back, speaking softly.
"Originally, I had arranged with Master Hu Gou for the three of us to come for the check-up.
"But... Master Hu Gou was taken away.
"He voluntarily reported entering the dangerous phase, and was taken away by the committee.
"No one knows where he went, or if he can return.
"Sigh."
Dangerous phase?
Bai Mo frowned slightly.
"What do you mean by dangerous phase?"
Master Chong glanced at Bai Mo.
"You don’t even know this?
"We, the Immortal cultivators, if we complete all cultivation within the current sequence but get stymied by the promotion ritual, unable to manage the promotion, that’s entering the dangerous phase!
"In such times, Ancient Immortals might employ all sorts of unexpected bad ideas, ignoring everything to assist in promotion.
"Just like Wang Fangyue, like Fuqing Hotel... do you think it’s dangerous or not?"
Bai Mo’s mouth twitched.
"It truly is a dangerous phase."
Master Chong curled his lips.
"It’s unfortunate Master Hu Gou couldn’t make it. This check-up is really excellent, with extremely comprehensive items, along with newly sourced facilities from Shangjing, said to be capable of detecting sub-optimal conditions, old injuries, and such."
Bai Mo nodded.
He remained indifferent towards the check-up.
His own body, he knew better than anyone.
At the moment, while queuing and chatting, his Divine Sense entered into the bronze little box, observing the growth of Roadside Flowers. He saw the flower sprout another leaf! Today was indeed the right day to come!
...
After completing the height and weight measurement, and having a chest X-ray, and undergoing blood routine and urine routine, Bai Mo and Master Chong together queued at the entrance of the "Sub-optimal Health Detection room."
To see this queue was particularly long, with unfamiliar expert advisors all lining up.
"I’m here just for this sub-optimal health detection."
"I’ve heard it’s newly sourced equipment from Shangjing City, capable of detecting old injuries."
"I heard it too, this gadget not only utilizes modern technology, but also involves Shangjing’s Array Master and Alchemist, jointly participating in development."
What new facility?
Bai Mo craned his neck out of the queue, peering towards the examination room ahead. He saw the room’s doors tightly shut. They only opened slightly when someone entered for detection, rather mysteriously.
...
In the Sub-optimal Health Detection room, it was pitch black within, the light dim.
The room was divided into inner and outer sections.
The newest detection equipment was placed in the outer section, with a guide assisting the experts in use.
The actual operators of the equipment sat in the inner section.
And the operator was none other than Professor Zhang! Professor Zhang from Sequence Eight!
Sitting behind Professor Zhang were Chairman Chen Shu and Wu Qingyun.
The three of them, expressions calm, gazes stern, fixated on the computer screen, checking one expert advisor after another.
The three strongest forces in West State City were sitting here, what they were truly detecting wasn’t "sub-optimal health"... what they were detecting was the "dangerous phase!"
Indeed, the latest detection apparatus in truth detected only the dangerous phase. If any expert advisor was found to be in the dangerous phase, these three would promptly act, seizing control of the person.
"Detection complete."
Professor Zhang sounded, whereupon the guide in the outer section would help the examined expert off the equipment, guiding them out the door, and allowing a new expert advisor in.
...
Thus continued, expert by expert, but all remained in the safety period, none entering the dangerous phase.
Chairman Chen Shu’s expression gradually relaxed, even starting to joke.
