Chapter 434: Chapter 247: Primordial Immortal Qi Investment of Immortal Martial. Farewell to the Family Compound Community (Part 2)

Tian Xinghuo continued sending messages.

[Furthermore, not all my emotions were taken away]

[In fact, I’ve retained a part of my emotions]

[Please rest assured]

On Professor Zhang’s side, he was silent for a long time before finally replying.

[We respect your choice]

[And please remember, we will always be your support]

In the office, Fang Xiaoyu suddenly popped her head out from behind the computer screen, asking aloud.

"Ordering takeout for lunch?

"What do you guys want to eat?

"Committee Member Tian, would you like to join us?"

Tian Xinghuo maintained his calm demeanor.

"Let’s order together!

"With Expert Bai Mo’s and my reimbursement limits combined, we can just order the business package from Golden Emperor Hotel!

"Roast duck set, lamb chop set, lobster set... we can order them all!

"Expert Bai Mo, what would you like to eat?"

Bai Mo pondered for a moment.

"I’m fine with anything."

He calculated in his mind, roughly understanding the source of the Primordial Immortal Qi for the Immortal Martial Path.

It’s like some companies that rely on manpower to generate profits.

Even like Professor Hong Anxi and Dr. Qu Hailou, what they contribute is manpower.

The source of Immortal Qi for Immortal Martial is also manpower!

They invest in people and slowly reap the rewards bit by bit.

Or rather, they invest in disciples and gradually get returns.

"If the investment is large enough and long enough, the returns are quite considerable. After all, a one-time investment doesn’t seem to require additional materials.

"But if the investment is small and the time is short, it looks kind of foolish."

As for Tian Xinghuo, Bai Mo found him much more agreeable upon a second look!

Although he was somewhat naive and reckless before, after spending some time together, it was clear that courage also shone within him.

...

The evening breeze already carried a chill.

Whoosh...

In the old dilapidated neighborhood, the door of a government car opened, and Bai Mo got off carrying his disciple Sun Tail.

He waved goodbye to Tian Xinghuo in the car.

And then walked towards his little shabby building.

"Hey, is there a celebration?"

At the entrance of his building, there was a mess of red paper left from exploded firecrackers. Someone set off firecrackers here?

Bai Mo grinned, climbing up the stairs.

"Isn’t this joy rather nice too?"

Professor Zhang had always said he’d arrange for him to live in the staff dormitory at West State University in the future.

But Bai Mo felt nostalgic for his tiny building, not wanting to cause trouble for the university and the Committee with the move.

As he climbed the stairs, he met the grandmother upstairs halfway.

"Xiaomo, you’re back! 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

"Today we have new neighbors moving in upstairs.

"They gave out wedding candies to every household in the stairwell, yours is at the door!"

Bai Mo chatted a little with a smile, realizing that the firecrackers at the bottom were for a housewarming?

Since the North Suburb Base battle, house prices in West State City had risen sharply.

The price of his humble building skyrocketed along with it.

Selling this property was a huge celebration for the original owner.

Moving in here was an equally great joy for the new owner.

Bai Mo smiled, said goodbye to the grandmother, and continued upstairs.

At the entrance to his own place, he saw a door with couplets.

Upper scroll: A well-chosen dwelling brings good neighbors, auspicious land, and prosperous air.

Lower scroll: A housewarming in a benevolent community foretells brilliance and excellence.

He grinned.

"Hey, quite cultured, aren’t they?"

Carrying Sun Tail, he continued upwards, arriving at his door, indeed finding a box of wedding candies on the ground in a metal tin, looking rather expensive!

"Ying ying ying!"

Sun Tail jumped off his master’s shoulder, happily picking up the box of sweets, a smile spreading across his fox face.

Bai Mo carried his disciple back into his arms, didn’t take out the keys, nor enter the house. He just took another look at the familiar pitch-black stairwell and the new security door the Committee had installed for him before.

He listened to the crying of Xiaobao upstairs.

Then he turned, stepping down the stairs again.

Snuggled in his master’s embrace, Sun Tail didn’t quite understand.

"Oh?"

Bai Mo grinned, taking out his phone, operating it as he walked downstairs.

These stairs, he’d been climbing for over a decade, through spring, summer, autumn, and winter, through bitter cold and searing heat, becoming incredibly familiar.

Now, he could descend smoothly without even looking.

He first sent a message to Fang Xiaoyu.

[Help me arrange to move to the West University Family Courtyard tonight]

Then sent a message to Tian Xinghuo.

[Big Bodyguard Tian, please help me move!

[There isn’t much to carry, just a box of clothes from the closet and the computer charger on the desk.]

He descended all the way, walking out the stairwell, seeing that the night had deepened, with only the last evening glow remaining in the sky.

Children in uniforms walked in groups, chatting and laughing as they returned to this neighborhood.

He reached the entrance of the neighborhood, seeing the fast-food cart selling fried chicken racks just setting up.

"Uncle, twenty yuan worth of it!"

One last serving of this fried chicken rack, and then no more.

That home, he would no longer return to.

Because the new neighbors downstairs had dug a hole through the floor.

The walls of that home were arranged with a killing array by the new neighbors.

The couch in that home was sprinkled with a poisonous bone broth by the newcomers.

Even the wardrobe held the new neighbor’s hiding place: two adults and a child, a family of three, each holding daggers, their arms circulating Blood Water Immortal Qi, waiting for Bai Mo’s return.

The academic expert of Human Race Sequence Seven, Bai Mo, only had Sequence Nine’s strength, an enticing target for assassination!

"Better to move to the West University Family Courtyard, to avoid causing further trouble."

Whoosh!

The business car came and went again, stopping at the roadside.

Tian Xinghuo got off.

"Expert Bai Mo, is there a situation?"

Bai Mo smiled bitterly, taking a freshly fried bag of chicken racks.

"The Immortal Beast detected something, there is indeed a situation.

"I’ll have to trouble you to help me move this home.

"Please be safe and quiet, there’s a baby upstairs."

Tian Xinghuo made an OK gesture, striding upstairs.

In less than ten minutes, he returned with Bai Mo’s suitcase.

"Let’s go, I’ve called someone to clean up."

Bai Mo nodded, and under the astonished gaze of the chicken rack vendor, he and Tian Xinghuo got into the car, which merged into the endless traffic, joining the shining streetlights.

Sitting in the car, Bai Mo hugged his disciple, giving the chicken racks to him, offering a piece to Tian Xinghuo as well.

"Thanks for your help."

Tian Xinghuo, with a stoic face, nodded.

"Just doing my job, no need to be polite."

Then, unapologetically, he took the chicken rack and began gnawing on it.

Bai Mo understood inwardly and didn’t bother with unnecessary politeness.

In the Immortal Technique Era, the world was changing drastically, with dark currents affecting countless fates.

For him, it was just a move.

Yet there was a slight sense of melancholy... After today, he would completely part with the life he’d led for over a decade.

He wondered how the living conditions were at the West University Family Courtyard?

Comfortable?

But regardless...

"Goodbye, North Labor Road Printing Factory Family Courtyard District."

...

Under dark clouds, the fierce wind blew.

A giant tree gently swayed in the breeze.

White Eye Circle stood underneath, within the large shadow cast by its canopy, looking up with fox eyes.

"Ying ying ying?"

Among the tree’s emerald-green foliage, tiny yellow fruits the size of thumbs were Harlan Zhonglis!

This Harlan Zhongli had successfully been transplanted, transforming from a tiny potted plant into a towering tree.

White Eye Circle’s new job was to set up layers of netting under the tree, waiting for the Harlan Zhonglis to fall.

Master said, there was a drop of Primordial Immortal Qi in each naturally fallen, mature Harlan Zhongli!

But they were rather fragile, and if dropped hard, the Primordial Immortal Qi would dissipate.

Whoosh!

Another Harlan Zhongli fell like a meteor.

Pop!

It was steadily caught by the canvas, creating a small dent in the netting, dissipating its force.

"Ying ying ying!"

White Eye Circle happily darted under the netting and fished out the Harlan Zhongli, placing it into a small bamboo basket slung over its shoulder.

Half a day passed, and a thin layer of Harlan Zhongli fruits had already accumulated in the small bamboo basket.

"Oh..."

Forty-seven of them!

White Eye Circle had been counting!

This Harlan Zhongli tree currently didn’t have high production; about a hundred naturally fell to the ground daily, equating to one liter of Primordial Immortal Qi.

Not particularly impressive, but it suffices for now.
