Chapter 699 - 375: Did the Emperor Come to Douluo Heaven for a Vacation? (Part 2)
[Get rich, I want to get rich too!]
[Brothers, be careful, this manuscript review expert panel has many people, not everyone is lucky enough to meet Expert Bai Mo]
[Most experts are quite perfunctory in reviewing manuscripts, look at mine]
[Image]
Jiao Su was full of embarrassment.
The image was a paper he had reviewed.
There were no annotations, only one review suggestion.
[Research is not rigorous enough, not approved]
Another new comment appeared on the forum.
[Everyone, don’t think too much, being perfunctory in manuscript review is the norm]
[Consider Expert Bai Mo’s review as a benefit!]
[How can this be considered a benefit?]
[This is a goddamn blessing!]
...
Under the black clouds, a strong wind blew.
A newly cast ritual altar had risen from the yellow earth, towering upwards.
Over a hundred fox disciples were all at the foot of the altar, looking up with their fluffy heads, watching their master’s Five-Colored Fire Cloud soaring up.
"Ying ying ying?"
"Ow ow ow?"
The master said there’s no need to be afraid, they should go about their business.
If they wanted to rest, they could wait here.
But they were still scared, still anxious, still wanted to wait here for a while.
After all, this altar wouldn’t last long before it shattered, they would all stay here, waiting for the master’s return!
...
On the Five-Colored Fire Cloud, Bai Mo sat cross-legged.
On his left was Little Flower Arm holding a Purple Bellflower.
On his right was Hu Hufeng with a Small Bronze Medicine Box slung over his shoulder.
The two foxes were quite nervous, instinctively leaning against the master’s shoulder, as still as cicadas in winter, not daring to make a sound.
"Today, we will go to Douluo Heaven together and take a look.
"Little Flower Arm, keep an eye on the Bellflower.
"Hu Hufeng, you can look at those Alchemy Furnaces more to broaden your knowledge!"
The Five-Colored Fire Cloud flew to the top of the altar, Bai Mo was too lazy to recite, and green light overflowed from his eyes, revealing seven Great Tripods!
Each picture and script on the altar immediately diffused white smoke, rising upwards, enveloping Bai Mo’s fire cloud and the master and disciples on the cloud.
"Today, let’s see what’s wrong with the Alchemy Furnaces in Douluo Heaven and why they can’t be taken?
"If we want to advance to Sequence Five, which Alchemy Furnaces should be taken away?"
...
Whoosh...
The strong wind blew.
"Master, is this altar shaking?"
Sun Jinsong stood at the highest point of the altar, looking below, looking at the master beside him.
The Ancient Immortal laughed.
"What, you’re a dignified Sequence Six Master of Communication, and you’re afraid of heights?
"It’s great to enjoy the breeze here!
"And also admire the beautiful scenery of our Celestial Palace, and relax!"
Sun Jinsong instinctively moved his steps to the center of the platform but saw that the ground had inscriptions, all raised, the characters protruding.
"Master, what are these words? Are they part of the altar?"
The Ancient Immortal shook his head.
"Not at all.
"These inscriptions are for the Celestial Palace disciples preparing to worship in Douluo Heaven!
"Celestial Palace disciples worshiping in Douluo Heaven must go barefoot, they are not allowed to wear shoes.
"While standing on the platform, every step they take they can step on these raised inscriptions.
"When they enter Douluo Heaven, they are still on this platform with every step, and their feet can still step on these inscriptions, constantly reminding them not to be muddled, not to forget the taboos."
Sun Jinsong looked down at the inscriptions, seeing the inscriptions raised sharply.
"Master, do other Holy Lands, Pill Palaces, also have these on their altars?"
The Ancient Immortal shook his head.
"This is exclusive to the Celestial Palace.
"If everyone had them, wouldn’t it be chaotic?"
Sun Jinsong nodded, feeling a strange sensation in his heart.
He saw these raised inscriptions.
[After touching the Alchemy Furnace, be sure to open the lid, reach in with a finger to touch every inch of the inner wall]
[If the finger gets cut and feels pain, abandon that Alchemy Furnace]
[If the finger is intact, take that Alchemy Furnace]
[Ten fingers can test ten Alchemy Furnaces]
[If all ten fingers are cut, the worship fails, and you must exit immediately]
...
Whoosh...
It was raining in Douluo Heaven!
The Five-Colored Fire Clouds shuttled through the misty rain, swiftly gliding past the sides of heaps of Alchemy Furnaces.
Around the Fire Clouds, seven Great Tripods flew along, emitting light that illuminated the vast fog!
Bai Mo sat cross-legged on the Fire Cloud, eyes closed in contemplation.
Little Flower Arm sat to the left of the master, hugging a pot of Purple Bellflowers, ever vigilant!
Hu Hufeng sat to the right of the master, using a Fox Claw to hold up a Lotus Leaf Umbrella, shielding the master from the rain!
Whoosh...
The wind blew, and the Lotus Leaf Umbrella fluttered in the wind.
Patapata...
The rain fell, making a crisp sound on the Lotus Leaf Umbrella.
Bai Mo sat under the umbrella, occasionally looking up at the rain, sometimes turning to look at the distance, at those piles of, those Alchemy Furnaces.
"Are these Alchemy Furnaces absorbing the rainwater?
"Just like the Celestial Mountain Snow Lotus, which can only grow on the Celestial Mountain.
"These Alchemy Furnaces, reputed as the strongest, can only be nurtured in Douluo Heaven, drenched by this strange rain over the years to become so?"
Whoosh...
The Fire Cloud flew to a small mountain made up of Alchemy Furnaces.
At the top was an Ink Jade Pill Furnace, ancient in style, which was steadily absorbing the falling rainwater.
As it absorbed the rainwater, its Ink Jade material seemed to become more lustrous and more robust.
Bai Mo maneuvered the Fire Cloud, circled around this Ink Jade Pill Furnace, looking left and right, trying to find anything unusual...but there was indeed none.
He turned to look at the Purple Bellflowers that Little Flower Arm was holding, the Bellflowers were also quiet, giving no warning.
"But...this Pill Furnace clearly has issues?"
Just a moment ago, he distinctly saw this Ink Jade Pill Furnace tremble slightly towards his Knowledge Container, as if trembling with desire!
Bai Mo waved a hand to disperse the container, maneuvered the Fire Cloud, and approached the Pill Furnace, watching as each crystal raindrop slowly seeped into the Ink Jade material.
The two fox apprentices instinctively shrank behind their master.
"Whimper?"
"Howl?"
They were afraid!
Bai Mo pondered for a moment, then slowly stretched out his hand, reaching for the lid of this Ink Jade Pill Furnace, gripping it firmly.
Crack!
It was Bai Mo gently exerting force, lifting the lid!
The mouth of the Pill Furnace instantly exuded thick white fog, covering the mouth, shielding the inside!
Bai Mo leaned slightly, peering over the mouth of the furnace.
In his view, the white mist covering the furnace mouth was clearly composed of small Runes, forming words, connecting sentences, arranging Chapters, describing puzzles within Immortal Grass knowledge!
The fog was so thick and heavy because the puzzles were too difficult and numerous!
Bai Mo’s eyes glowed softly with a light blue, instantly seeing through the puzzles, penetrating layer after layer of fog, seeing to the deepest part of this Pill Furnace.
"Huh?"
Inside the furnace, the smooth Ink Jade inner wall unexpectedly had a Beast Face illustration!
With strange deep yellow pigment, a snarling Beast Face was painted!
The Beast Teeth even used more pigment, appearing rougher and sharper.
If touched, it could even cut the hand.
Bai Mo retracted his head and replaced the lid on this Ink Jade Pill Furnace.
Sensing it tremble again, he calmed it with a cold glance.
"So the root of the problem with the Pill Furnace is the Beast Face painted with the deep yellow pigment?"
Bai Mo recalled carefully, he could still remember that yesterday the three Pill Furnaces he shattered also had yellow pigment on the fragments’ inner walls!
"If I could find a Pill Furnace without the Beast Face pattern and take it out, could I then advance to Sequence Five?"
Bai Mo continued to sift through this heap of Alchemy Furnaces, examining some ordinary Bronze Furnaces, and some base-level Pottery Kilns.
Most Bronze Furnaces had Beast Faces painted on the inner walls, with only one being clean.
But the Pottery Kilns were all clean.
"If those Immortals worshiping Douluo Heaven would not be greedy and only take Pottery Kilns, perhaps nothing would have gone wrong?"
Bai Mo sighed in regret.
Sadly, people can never control their greed, and there aren’t that many ’ifs’ in the world.
"Help me get the water to drink."
Hu Hufeng took out the master’s tea cup from the Small Medicine Box and handed it to the master.
"Whine whine whine!"
Bai Mo unscrewed the cup lid and took a sip of fragrant flower tea.
"There are snacks in the medicine box, if you’re hungry, take some and eat."
A group of distressed Immortals, who rushed in upon hearing the news, emerged from the white mist, each kneeling down, bowing to Bai Mo.
They could vaguely see the shadow of the Emperor, vaguely hear the Emperor speaking.
There was a rather surreal feeling.
Isn’t this place supposed to be Douluo Heaven?
The Emperor came here, how could he be eating and drinking? How could he have brought attendants? Like he was on a sightseeing tour?
