Chapter 607 - 331: Protect Expert Bai Mo
Dusk had just fallen.
In the Fox Mountain dining hall, each small stone table was filled with various dishes.
"Ying ying ying! Ao ao ao ao..."
Quanquan Hu raised a small wine glass, proudly boasting with his fat face upturned, flaunting their cunning and wit when opening treasure vaults!
The foxes nearby, whether eating fried onion rings or licking the creamy mushroom sauce from their lips, all looked on in admiration.
In the corner of the dining hall, Bai Mo guarded a table full of food, eating while holding a Bronze Plate, reading the documents recorded on it.
This particular one was the handwriting of Marquis Qing Yue.
[...I wield the Celestial Law, battling for millennia, raising the battle with battles, cultivating the Great Immortal Technique Qinghua Rain...]
[...Slayed countless Fallen Immortals, seized the cultivation insights from Fallen Immortals...]
[...Learned the insights of Fallen Immortals, then went on to slay more Fallen Immortals, a virtuous cycle, which is quite good...]
So all those records of Qinghua Rain cultivation insights on the Copper Plates were war trophies from the Marquis slaying Fallen Immortals?
[...Damn it, almost got screwed, must learn cautiously with this pile of junk I seized...]
Huh?
What does that mean?
Bai Mo didn’t quite understand for a while, so he ate crispy fried onion rings, while reading the documents and munching.
The Marquis’s writings on cultivating "Qinghua Rain" were relatively detailed and solid, quite suitable for building a foundation.
...
The night grew deep, and the wind howled.
In the dormitory hall, the disciples formed circles, speaking fox language, boasting and chatting, sharing knowledge and experience, practicing martial arts, or practicing sword fighting.
Bai Mo sat beside the bed, holding the Copper Plates, reading attentively.
Black Earrings perched on the master’s shoulder, craning his head to look alongside the master.
White Earrings curled up in the master’s arms, holding Timid Daisy, squinting with happiness, his head nuzzling against the master’s chest.
This Copper Plate was another Qinghua Rain cultivation insight seized by the Marquis.
[I, Green Eye Ancient Immortal, was Sequence Nine at thirty, Sequence Eight at one hundred, Sequence Seven at three hundred, could call myself a genius too]
[At four hundred, I defected from the Black Seed Pill Palace, since then free and unbound]
[At five hundred, I entered Sequence Six, at six hundred, I forged the Flower Vase, from then on began researching the Great Immortal Technique Qinghua Rain]
[This technique is powerful, and its scale can be controlled]
[With one slake of Immortal Qi, flower rain can cover the sky]
[With one bucket of Immortal Qi, flower rain can fill the mountain]
[With one liter of Immortal Qi, flower rain can produce ten thousand petals]
[With half a liter of Immortal Qi, flower rain can produce a few hundred petals]
Seeing this, Bai Mo suddenly understood.
"Qinghua Rain, half a liter of Immortal Qi, and it’s usable?"
Other Great Immortal Techniques all require tremendous expenditure, like Purple Dragon Climb, which at least consumes one bucket of Immortal Qi per use, far less flexible than Qinghua Rain.
"Such a low-cost, flexible scale Immortal Technique... indeed very suitable for the Fallen Immortals who live like street rats without stable income.
"No wonder Marquis Qing Yue could seize so many Qinghua Rain cultivation insights, no wonder she chose to focus on this Immortal Technique."
Bai Mo smacked his lips and continued reading the Fallen Immortals’ cultivation insights.
[My Qinghua Rain is different, cultivated amidst battle after battle, solely seeking practicality and lethality...]
Bai Mo, reading while thinking, contemplated.
"Indeed it seems so..."
The Fallen Immortal’s Slaughter Technique, the Fallen Immortal’s cultivation insights, compared to the experiment-like insights of Pill Palace immortals, were more focused on practicality, more bloody, more brutal.
Bai Mo read and thought, occasionally gaining insight, nodding occasionally, taking a tablet, placing it under White Earrings’ head, occasionally writing a few lines of notes.
The Fallen Immortals may not have strong aptitude, their perception may not be excellent, but their Immortal Techniques truly were treacherous.
"Flowers Hidden in the Leaves, hiding Qinghua Rain in flying leaves, feeding petals paralyzing toxins and hallucinogenic toxins early..."
"Flowers Flying from the Bottom of the Mud, hiding Qinghua Rain in muddy ground, waiting for the enemy to arrive, petals breaking the earth and attacking from below..."
"Viewing Flowers in the Mist...
"Nine False and One True..."
Bai Mo, reading and noting, marveled at the strange and peculiar minds of Fallen Immortals.
"Back when Marquis was chasing such Fallen Immortals, battling them for a thousand years?
"Not easy at all!"
Picking up the next Copper Plate, it bore familiar handwriting, the Marquis’s own cultivation insights.
Bai Mo skimmed the entire document, pondering for a while.
"Her Qinghua Rain, capable of embodying the strengths of a hundred schools, learning all Fallen Immortals’ tricks, but... surprisingly not treacherous at all, instead straightforward and extremely domineering.
"Really impressive."
At the document’s end, the Marquis warned herself again.
[Although Fallen Immortals’ techniques are indeed useful, caution must be exercised when learning them. Their techniques often go to extremes, have strengths but also flaws and problems, sometimes even deliberate traps left by them. You can learn them, but must think deeply, extract the essence and discard the dross]
"Oh."
Bai Mo suddenly understood.
Earlier reading the Marquis saying, learning these Fallen Immortal techniques requires caution and care, was almost screwed, turns out this was why?
"This doesn’t need worrying."
The flaws in the Fallen Immortal’s techniques could be entirely differentiated by Bai Mo.
Even the cultivation insights held by him, collected from the strengths of a hundred schools by the Marquis... also had some flaws.
...
The news of Sequence Six’s emergence wasn’t deliberately concealed.
It made its way onto the lukewarm end of a trending list, attracting some pessimists to mourn, and some optimists to mock, then vanished into the internet without further discussion or stir.
The Immortal Committee proceeded as usual, conducting cases, research, production, and so forth, all continuing methodically.
"Many ordinary people totally don’t realize what this really represents.
