Master of Ten Thousand Foxes
Chapter 420 - 240: Immortal Technique Prodigy, Black Sparrow Ancient Immortal (Part 2)
The divine sense passed through walls, monitoring the patient’s cerebral cortex and constantly observing the surgical progress.
The conference room was very quiet.
The experts were all staring at the screen, watching the indicators.
Star Tail nestled in its master’s arms, its head nuzzling against its master’s chest, feeling blissful and quiet.
The last time it lay in its master’s arms like this was several days ago.
Today, it came to the current world with its master for business, and it wanted to seize the opportunity to have a good rest.
Thinking of this, it snuggled its head further into its master.
The surgery was slow, but very smooth.
The fluorescence representing the blood scab cells on the screen was decreasing bit by bit.
The patient’s various physiological indicators also remained within the normal range.
The experts all smiled and began to pick up their teacups to drink water.
Professor Zhang also grinned.
As he smiled, he suddenly heard the voice of the Ancient Immortal in his mind.
"You know what this blood scab really is, don’t you?
"Haha, actually, in the Ancient Immortal Dynasty, it was a favorite trick of the Fallen Immortals.
"By placing a blood scab on someone’s cerebral cortex, they could borrow someone else’s brain.
"In a way, it’s very similar to your modern society’s hackers and botnets.
"Back in the Ancient Immortal Dynasty, this was something that often troubled the Celestial Immortals.
"Because, to remove this blood scab, there are only two methods.
"One is using the Sequence Six Super Immortal Grass, White Star Orange.
"The other is... to directly kill all the hackers and botnets.
"Because White Star Orange is extremely precious, far more valuable than an ordinary botnet.
"So in most cases, the Celestial Immortals opted for the second method."
Professor Zhang frowned.
Why was Qing Lu Ancient Immortal saying this?
Could it be that he wanted to praise modern people’s capabilities? To praise modern technology as superior?
As he was doubting, he heard Qing Lu Ancient Immortal’s laughter filled with a difficult-to-discern implication in his mind.
...
In the corridor, Zhang Shan led a team of Immortal Technique Committee members, with guards every five steps, sentries every ten steps, tightly guarding the area.
"Everyone, stay alert.
"Even the slightest movement, be cautious!"
The Immortal Technique Committee members all nodded.
"Captain Zhang, don’t worry."
"We’re fully attentive." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶
Zhang Shan nodded with satisfaction, but he himself lacked energy, feeling drowsy and yawning continuously.
This wasn’t because he was unprofessional, nor because he hadn’t rested well, but because the Round Stone Ancient Immortal in his mind was observing the current world through him!
...
Next to the small river.
Round Stone Ancient Immortal sat on a rock like a mountain of flesh.
The King of Darkness stood behind him, like a second mountain of flesh.
The two fatties craned their necks, looking at the small river’s surface, at the reflection of Zhang Shan’s perspective on the water, seeing the scene in the laboratory corridor.
"Alas, it’s a pity, this shot is a bit far, the visibility is limited."
Round Stone Ancient Immortal clicked his tongue.
The King of Darkness beside him, slightly puzzled.
"Master, why are you interested in this matter?"
Round Stone Ancient Immortal explained.
"I want to see Black Sparrow’s Immortal Technique!"
The King of Darkness was even more confused.
"Isn’t it going to be broken soon?"
Round Stone Ancient Immortal chuckled.
"Not so easy?
"That Black Sparrow woman, her Immortal Technique is quite good.
"Her overall strength is average, often losing more than winning in fights.
"But her Immortal Technique is always remarkable!
"That year, condensing the Knowledge Container, she was just a little shy of forging a Bronze Tripod!
"Her stone water tank already had a bronze sheen.
"Characters like her, how could her Immortal Technique be easily broken?"
The King of Darkness was bewildered, having no concept of the quality of a Knowledge Container.
But he could roughly understand that Round Stone Ancient Immortal held Black Sparrow Ancient Immortal’s Immortal Technique in extreme regard, perhaps even somewhat covetous?
"Master, should I contact Black Sparrow Ancient Immortal later, spend some resources, and obtain her Immortal Technique?"
Round Stone Ancient Immortal pondered a bit before nodding.
"Yes, definitely!"
...
In the conference room, the experts could now smile and chat softly.
Because on the screen, the fluorescence representing blood scab cells was becoming less and less.
"Heh, our gamma knife is indeed quite impressive."
"This gamma knife, operated by a computer, tracks target cells, intelligently predicts tremors, much better than manual operations."
"Does this mean technology triumphs over the Ancient Immortals?"
Bai Mo occasionally looked up at the screen, occasionally focused his divine sense on the surgery, occasionally looked down to review the project files.
Sure enough, this project is packed with high-tech content!
It involves knowledge from the fields of physics, engineering, and computing.
He remained expressionless, with his divine sense noticing outside the window, hidden in the corner of the window frame, a bee?
"Did some Ancient Immortal send it?
"Tonight’s surgery has attracted quite a bit of attention."
...
In the Dream Immortal Realm, Molten Rock Cave.
The Ancient Bee Immortal sat at the bedside, together with his disciple, Fatty Wang Yuanbao, looking into the mirror in their hands.
In the mirror, impressively was the expert’s office being spied upon by the bee.
Wang Yuanbao saw Bai Mo and recognized Professor Zhang, staring in amazement.
"Master, they’re all big shots in there!
"If I could get in touch with any of them, my family’s business would take off!"
The Ancient Bee Immortal chuckled but didn’t respond to his disciple.
He widened his eyes, perked up his ears, waiting for the Immortal Technique of Black Sparrow Ancient Immortal!
Though on the surface it seemed like the scab cells were being rapidly cleared by the gamma knife... he knew the cunning nature of Black Sparrow Ancient Immortal from back in the day!
"Disciple, later I’m going to trouble you to make a trip to deliver a message for me, exchange some resources."
Wang Yuanbao was momentarily stunned.
"What resources?"
The Ancient Bee Immortal said.
"Immortal Technique! The Immortal Technique of Black Sparrow Ancient Immortal!
"Her technique has existed since ancient times, yet she can perform it across both the dream and real worlds, it’s truly mysterious!
"I want to learn from her, learn how to cross realms."
...
In the meeting room, the smiles on the experts’ faces grew larger and larger.
Professor Qin stretched and yawned.
Professor Gan wiped some cold sweat.
They all burst into laughter.
Because on the screen, the shadow on the patient’s brain had already been completely removed.
"Hahaha, it’s clean!"
"The scab cells on the patient’s brain are all cleared!"
"We did it!"
"Hahaha, all indicators are normal."
"The patient’s brain waves are also back to normal."
"The surgery was a success!"
Professor Zhang let out a big sigh of relief, grinning as he retrieved a bottle of champagne from the fridge behind him.
"Come on, everyone have a drink!"
He grabbed the cork at the bottle’s mouth, and with a "pop," the cork flew out.
"Open the champagne!"
Bai Mo pulled at the corners of his mouth, feeling rather emotional.
"Classic halftime champagne... that Black Sparrow Ancient Immortal is really a sneaky one!"
...
"Hahahaha!"
In the cave, Black Sparrow Ancient Immortal also burst into laughter, picking up a bottle of champagne her disciple brought from the side.
"Let’s taste this wine from the real world!"
She looked at the eight water jars in the spring, noticing that one of them was faintly glowing, emitting a cyan-green light! Showing signs of transitioning from a stone jar to a bronze tripod!
Though there’s a long way to go before the transformation is complete, she was still very excited, with a "pop," she opened the champagne bottle and started to drink directly from it.
...
By the riverbank, the King of Darkness and Round Stone Ancient Immortal vaguely heard the cheers from the meeting room.
"Whoa? They succeeded in surgery? Does that mean Black Sparrow Ancient Immortal failed?"
Round Stone Ancient Immortal gestured for him to be quiet, raising his ears, listening to the sounds carried by the river, listening to the perspective of Zhang Shan.
"No... not... that Black Sparrow Ancient Immortal woman is too sneaky, listen..."
The King of Darkness frowned, also listened carefully to the sounds from the river.
He heard the sound of water carried by the wind over the river, heard Zhang Shan walking in the hallway, heard the laughter from the meeting room, and also heard... a rhythmic thumping sound?
Thump... thump... thump...
"What’s that sound?"
...
In the dream’s cavern.
The Ancient Bee Immortal perked up his ears, his face filled with joy!
"Hahaha, Black Sparrow, you’re really something!
"Disciple, prepare yourself and go get in touch with her!"
...
In the brightly lit operating room, the disciple of Black Sparrow Ancient Immortal was sent out of the gamma knife instrument.
His hair was completely shaved off, leaving his scalp smooth.
Inside his skull, the scabs on the cerebral cortex had been burned off, leaving a few remaining black spots, but mostly revealing the pink flesh.
However, at this moment, this pink flesh was secretly throbbing.
Thump... thump... thump...
The two little nurses moving his body in the operating room also seemed to hear this sound.
Inside their skulls, on a small piece of their cerebral cortex, it also began to throb.
Thump... thump... thump...
