Master of Ten Thousand Foxes-Chapter 35: The Bloodthirsty’s Modified Ascension Ritual

Chapter 35: Chapter 35: The Bloodthirsty’s Modified Ascension Ritual

Although the foxes are somewhat colorblind and not very good at distinguishing colors, they are still working hard! No matter what the color is, as long as the shape matches, take it to the master!

Thus, ten thousand fox apprentices scattered across the vast grassland, each searching on their own.

Bai Mo sat on the pole being carried by the fox apprentices, roaming around while extending his Divine Sense to scan and search for this Buddha Hand Melon.

This grassland is immense, Bai Mo has never even explored the borders. The grassland is filled with various messy herbs, and there are quite a few varieties! Previously, when looking for assorted herbs, this grassland never disappointed Bai Mo. Hopefully, this time will be the same.

...

Several hours passed.

The Fox Mountain army had ventured deep into the grassland, having traveled countless miles.

Foxes scattered wide, eyes wide open, rummaging through the grass everywhere, seeking endlessly.

Bai Mo, sitting on the pole, while searching, also identified various suspected objects delivered by the apprentices. The basket hanging beside the pole already contained dozens of brightly colored hand-shaped melon herbs, ten green hand-shaped melon herbs, and two or three fox paw-shaped melon herbs, all delivered but none being what Bai Mo sought.

Bai Mo picked up a light green hand-shaped melon, examined it with Divine Sense, carefully checked features like the fuzz, internal fibers, seeds, to confirm it did not match. This thing was not the Buddha Hand Melon, merely an imposter with similar appearance.

"Why does this Buddha Hand Melon have so many lookalike kin?

"If anyone else wants to make Miracle Cream and needs to collect the Buddha Hand Melon, can they distinguish so many similar imposters?"

...

With sunset, the sky over the grassland turned somber, night was close.

Bai Mo finally took a small green melon brought by a fox apprentice... This thing hadn’t matured, was tiny, only a faint finger outline. But using Divine Sense to confirm various features, it was indeed the Buddha Hand Melon!

"Hahaha, got it! It’s this one!

"The day is late; call all the brothers, we return to Fox Mountain immediately."

Nearby fox apprentices were instantly excited.

Raised their voices, began to "howl"!

The sound spread from this place, across the swaying grass in the wind, dispersing across the grassland!

Immediately more and more "howls" responded, instantly red figures sprinted here to assemble.

After ten minutes, Bai Mo sat on the pole, looking around at the dense fiery red figures, counted clearly, ten thousand fox apprentices, none missing.

"Back to Fox Mountain."

The vast team, like flowing fire, rushed toward the way back to the mountain.

...

In the brightly lit tiered conference room.

Dozens of students sat in the back row, all with tense expressions, not talking much.

They received notice that today’s meeting would announce a legal method to help them advance to Sequence Nine! Free them from Ancient Immortal coercion!

In the front row were the Immortal Technique Committee members from various departments, also very serious, holding notebooks, ready for the meeting.

A dozen experts sat together.

Master Chong sat beside Bai Mo, whispering.

"I heard today, besides Immortal Martial affairs, there’s some latest research results about Dream Immortal Realm."

Latest research results?

What’s that?

Bai Mo furrowed his brow.

...

This is a nationwide synchronized video conference, not just West State City, virtually all the Immortal Technique Committees from various cities gathered in their meeting rooms, focused on the big screens.

The person on the big screen doing the report, Bai Mo recognized... just a few days ago, Fang Xiaoyu asked him to investigate Expert Huang Fu!

Expert Huang Fu, looking bloated, was reciting his script, tone steady, lacking emotional color.

"...Today is our Immortal Technique Committee national meeting. Hello to all the committee members and expert advisors nationwide. We will report some latest research results regarding Immortal Martial Path and Dream Immortal Realm..."

In the audience seats, Master Chong whispered to himself, "This Expert Huang Fu looks like a Gu Insect."

Bai Mo glanced at Master Chong.

Seeing the old man with a bad grin, speaking in a low voice, "Like a big-headed toad."

After a quip, Master Chong also stopped talking. Because he realized, it seemed he was the only one talking in the meeting room; everyone else was very quiet, either listening intently or quickly taking notes.

Expert Huang Fu already reached the crucial point...

"Currently, thousands of Immortal Martial Path Immortal-Related Personnel troubled by the Sequence Nine advancement ceremony, we’ve found a solution.

"Normally advancing requires killing ten people, which violates law, absolutely not doable.

"The solution we found is green, healthy, and harmless..."

Hearing this, everyone perked their ears.

Zhang Shan and Lu Yang opened their eyes wide.

Immortal Technique Committee members furrowed their brows tightly.

Bai Mo and Master Chong looked at the screen.

"...The solution is not killing ten people, but killing ten cows instead."

The meeting room erupted with astonishment.

Bai Mo tugged the corners of his mouth.

The students’ eyes widened.

Chairman Chen Shu raised his head, looked at the screen.

Master Chong blew his beard, giving his assessment, "Bullshit."

This sounds too absurd, too childish.

On the screen, Expert Huang Fu was already explaining the process of scheme validation.

In front of the screen, the audience began whispering to each other.

"Can people and cows be the same? People have spirituality; do cows?"

"Advancement ceremonies aren’t a joke; is Expert Huang Fu just making things up?"

"Isn’t today April Fool’s Day?"

Amidst the murmuring, the screen started showing footage of successful cases in Shangjing City.

Several high school students tore open their clothes, their chests visibly emitting faint red Blood Qi! Exactly the signature skill of [Bloodthirsty] Sequence Nine, [Blood Qi].

Then followed by a brief interview confirming their Ancient Immortal Master raised no objections, acknowledging their advancement.

The screen cut back to Expert Huang Fu. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

"...We conducted many experiments, ultimately confirming that the [Bloodthirsty] advanced through this method and the [Bloodthirsty] advanced by killing are fundamentally the same."

Could it really be?

Listening to Expert Huang Fu’s logical exposition, a group felt whimsical but gradually believed.

"Hahaha, this is great."

"We’re liberated!"

"No more fear!"

The high school students in the audience, already smiling broadly, couldn’t help burst into joyful laughter even in such a solemn meeting room.

Bai Mo turned to look at Zhang Shan, Lu Yang, Yu Tingting, giving them a relieved grin.

Soon after, the report on this modified advancement ceremony concluded. Expert Huang Fu announced the relevant material’s internal download address and moved on to the next segment.

"For three years, we’ve conducted extensive research on Dream Immortal Realm.

"We’ve interviewed numerous Immortal-Related Personnel, drawn many sketches and side notes on Dream Immortal Realm, even attempted dialogue with Ancient Immortals.

"Now we’ve reached a hypothetical conclusion... this Dream Immortal Realm might very well have been a civilization that truly existed in history!"
