Master of Ten Thousand Foxes-Chapter 91 - 77: The Eerie Medical Examination Machine!

Chapter 91: Chapter 77: The Eerie Medical Examination Machine!

"With this thing, I really feel much more at ease.

"No need to be on edge every day from now on.

"This device is quite good."

Wu Qingyun also relaxed, but her brows and eyes remained stiff, her expression dull.

She pointed to the device outside.

"What’s the principle?"

Professor Zhang explained with a smile.

"As for the principle, it’s not very complex.

"What it actually detects are the Sea of Consciousness and Sea of Qi..."

The Forehead Sea of Consciousness and the Dantian Qi Sea are the two great secret chambers of the human body.

Generally speaking, cultivators of Sequence Nine only learn related knowledge.

Cultivators of Sequence Eight can open one of the secret chambers.

For instance, the Sequence Eight Talisman Path’s [Talisman Person] can open the Forehead Sea of Consciousness secret chamber.

The Sequence Eight Immortal Martial Path’s [Blood Man] can open the Dantian Qi Sea secret chamber.

Cultivators of Sequence Seven can continue to open the other secret chamber.

For example, the Sequence Seven Talisman Path’s [Penman] can open the Dantian Qi Sea secret chamber.

The Sequence Seven Immortal Martial Path’s [Scab People] can open the Forehead Sea of Consciousness secret chamber.

There are some peculiar weak paths, where Sequence Eight can’t open the secret chambers, but Sequence Seven can open both instead. This is the case for the Alchemy Path.

Within the Sea of Consciousness, naturally there is Divine Sense.

And within the Sea of Qi, there are different types of Immortal Qi like Blood Water Immortal Qi, Ink Immortal Qi, and Pill Fire!

"...Cultivators entering the danger period will have secret chambers in a special state of being about to be opened, which our device can capture the fluctuations!"

Wu Qingyun suddenly understood.

"Able to detect secret chambers...

"So if,

"It detects two secret chambers,

"It would be Sequence Seven..."

She could sense the Blood Water Immortal Qi stored in her Dantian Qi Sea. But as for the so-called Forehead Sea of Consciousness, she was completely unaware, not knowing when it would be opened.

...

Outside the detection department.

Bai Mo queued while chatting with Master Chong.

He looked up and saw the department door open just as a middle-aged man finished being tested and came out.

Something seemed off?

Bai Mo’s Divine Sense discreetly spread like an invisible wind, investigating the middle-aged man.

"Forehead and Dantian?

"This man’s forehead and Dantian appear to have some traces?"

Bai Mo furrowed his brows.

Could it be that the so-called sub-health detector actually aims to detect the Forehead Sea of Consciousness and Dantian Qi Sea? To measure the extent to which secret chambers have been unlocked?

"Oh..."

The Immortal Technique Committee checking this is quite normal and completely understandable.

...

Inside the detection department, Professor Zhang leaned against the chair, stretched and yawned.

"Haha, we were worried for nothing.

"Let’s all relax a bit.

"Frankly, not everyone can enter the danger period anyway.

"My Ancient Immortal Master says that in Sequence Nine, ninety-nine percent can’t complete the Sequence Nine cultivation.

"In Sequence Eight, ninety-nine percent can’t complete the Sequence Eight cultivation either.

"Those who can enter the danger period are talented, but very few."

The guiding personnel outside directed a few more experts for testing.

Inside, Professor Zhang and the other two started chatting about various topics, occasionally glancing at the screen. It’s no big deal if they don’t look, as the system will automatically alert for danger periods anyway.

Chairman Chen Shu sat comfortably in the chair.

"Developing this thing wasn’t easy, right?"

Professor Zhang nodded.

"The Sequence Seven of the Array Path in Shangjing led the development. There’s hardly any modern technology involved, but plenty of array maps."

Chairman Chen Shu made a peculiar face.

The Sequence Seven of the Array Path in Shangjing?

That... the Sequence Seven of the Array Path?

If he was leading the development, it must be reliable.

But then Professor Zhang grinned.

"Not just him, I was involved too, haha.

"There’s a hypnosis and calming module inside, which I managed to sort out.

"It was really tough! I even went to seek help from the Ancient Immortal to finally get it done.

"If Mr. Mystery from West State City and the one from Shangjing collaborated, it would surely be easier."

Chairman Chen Shu nodded with a smile.

"Indeed.

"But even if Mr. Mystery were willing to help, could our committee dare to use his stuff?"

With these words, the three sighed together.

...

Squeak...

The door opened, Master Chong emerged from the sub-health detection department, rubbing his head, a bit dizzy.

He looked at Bai Mo.

"Damn, this high-tech stuff is really a bit hard to get used to.

"You’d better go in now."

Bai Mo nodded, instructed White Ears to wait outside, and slipped through the door into the department.

Squeak...

The door closed.

The room was pitch dark; the outlines of the detection devices faintly visible.

The young male guide, wearing the Immortal Technique Committee uniform, spoke softly.

"Expert Bai Mo, please lie down on the bed over there."

Bai Mo nodded, moving slowly, not in a hurry.

He was examining the detection device.

It consisted of two parts.

One part is a small leather bed for lying down.

The other part was a large, horizontal barrel-shaped structure.

Once someone lay on the bed, both person and bed would be sent into the barrel-shaped structure.

Bai Mo’s Divine Sense spread like an invisible wind, investigating the device, the room, the trio inside idling and chatting, the array maps inside the device.

He suddenly felt something amiss...

This device is not solely for sub-health detection.

Nor is it just for detecting Forehead Sea of Consciousness or Dantian Qi Sea.

It seems... there are other intrigues!

Instantly, his Divine Sense delved into the device’s depths, into every structure. He didn’t understand the things related to array maps.

Inside the device was a small liquid chamber filled with medicinal soup, relevant to his path. But... he didn’t understand it either.

Indeed, there was medicinal soup inside this device, beyond Bai Mo’s comprehension.

The room was dim and quiet.

The young male guide approached the bed, gesturing for Bai Mo to lie down.

In the soundproof room, the chatting and increasingly relaxed trio continued laughing.

Bai Mo furrowed his brows, cautiously extending tiny tendrils of Divine Sense to examine the medicinal soup.

It seemed there was something soaking in the soup?

He dared not delve deeply but could roughly confirm that the medicinal soup inside the device... truly exceeded his understanding. Whatever was soaked in there surpassed his knowledge.

Within Sequence Seven, he might not have heard of, seen, or concocted the soup, but it couldn’t be beyond comprehension!

Which left only one explanation...

"...The soup comes from a higher sequence?

"From... an Ancient Immortal?"

Bai Mo stepped forward, expression as usual, pace as usual.

Still observing, still contemplating.

He suddenly noticed the room was very dark. The windows were covered with blackout curtains, letting no light in.

And the barrel-shaped structure of the detection device was oddly designed so that no light could ever enter!

Bai Mo overheard the trio in the detection department talking about him.

"Expert Bai Mo is here to be tested too?"

"Expert Bai Mo is Sequence Nine in Beast Taming, right."

"Haha, the hypnosis and calming medicinal soup I refined will let Expert Bai Mo relax well."

Bai Mo furrowed his brows.

The mysterious medicinal soup in the device was refined by Professor Zhang? It’s supposed to be hypnosis and calming medicinal soup?

No!

That thing only slightly resembled hypnosis and calming medicinal soup. In essence, it’s entirely different.

This device has significant issues...

Bai Mo approached the small bed, seeing the guide’s gesture, but he didn’t lie down.

Instead, a vague mist emerged from his palm between reality and dreams, from which colorless, odorless medicinal vapors seeped. These vapors split into wisps, like little snakes, either flying into the guide’s nostrils or sneaking through gaps, entering the inner room and the noses of Professor Zhang, Chairman Chen Shu, and Wu Qingyun.

In an instant, all four fell unconscious.

But they maintained their expressions, their postures of the moment.

Professor Zhang, speaking mid-sentence, mouth open, saliva spraying, tongue against the palate.

Chairman Chen Shu blinking mid-blink, eyelids half open and half closed.

Wu Qingyun’s expression remained dazed, only now truly frozen.

The guide outside, maintained his posture.

And so, the four, posture paused, movement paused, thought paused, as if removed from time.

Bai Mo reached out, placing the guide on the bed, finding the button, and activating the device.
