Whoosh!
Another monkey head fruit fell from the tree.
Poof.
It landed on the thick mat of coiled vines, gently caught, a soft landing, without any signs of explosion.
Moreover, the seeds were still growing! Each vine climbed up the monkey head fruit tree, winding around the trunk, climbing onto the branches, finding each monkey head fruit, growing around them, wrapping them, tying them up like nets, holding the fruits so they wouldn’t fall anymore.
A group of foxes revealed smiling faces, began to jump around, waving their front paws in celebration.
"Yip yip yip!"
"Awoo awoo awoo!"
"Yip yip yip!"
Indeed, when Master arrived, all problems were solved!
...
The order of work at Fox Mountain returned to normal.
Inside the Bronze Hall, Bai Mo sat behind the Bronze Table, assigning tasks to his disciples.
"The monkey head fruit has mutated, changing its dicinal properties.
"To not affect the refining plan, we need to plant so substitutes to replace the original monkey head fruits.
"Peach Blossom Eyes, you will plant monkey head apples.
"Star Hand, you will plant brain-shaped cauliflower.
"Monkey head apples can be hastened to ripen, try to be quick with them..."
After the arrangents, the disciples received their orders and left the hall.
Bai Mo remained, looking at the mutated monkey head fruit placed beside the table.
"Let’s see what exactly is going on with this thing?"
Using Divine Sense to probe, he found that inside the fuzzy fruit shell, there wasn’t any brain-shaped fruit flesh, but rather a red, cloudy, oily soup that was even bubbling with tiny bubbles.
There was no record of such a thing in any docunt, showing that this fruit indeed had mutated. The monkey head fruit of tens of thousands of years later is not the sa as that of ten thousand years ago.
"Why does it explode?
"Has it changed into sothing like nitroglycerin?"
Bai Mo extended his hand, placing it above the monkey head fruit. Green pill fire ignited between his fingers, carefully controlling the temperature and strength, burning a slit into the fruit shell, unveiling its interior soup.
Taking a look, giving it a sll, confirming there was no problem, he lightly touched it, dabbing it on his fingertips and gently rubbing to feel its texture...
"Huh, not nitroglycerin?
"The explosive principle is different after all."
Rationally speaking, this thing is rather like soda, like cola, a super cola with an excessive amount of fizz!
In short videos, he had seen cola bottles explode before.
But to think a cola that could blast craters into the ground really opened his eyes wide.
"An unseen herb.
"Very promising."
Bai Mo stared at the red dicinal soup inside the fruit shell, gently swaying it, watching its ripples.
If he wanted to develop a prescription with it, there was no docunt to consult; he would have to start from scratch, using this never-before-seen herb to develop sothing unprecedented.
Thinking of this, Bai Mo felt sowhat regretful.
"Too bad the alchemists from tens of thousands of years ago didn’t have the chance to witness my unparalleled talent..."
...
During the few days of exams, West State City was bathed in sunshine.
Half an hour was left before the last English exam ended. Bai Mo raised his hand to submit his paper and left the examination hall.
As he arrived in the corridor, he saw Zhang Shan from room 701 also stepping out.
Zhang Shan hurried over with a smile, bumping Bai Mo’s shoulder, lowering his voice.
"What a coincidence, you submitted early too?"
"Yeah, I finished everything."
Zhang Shan laughed slyly.
"I finished everything I could write.
"Rumor has it that this year’s exam was particularly tough; many people found it extrely frustrating."
As Bai Mo walked alongside Zhang Shan, his gaze unintentionally swept over the adjacent exam rooms, seeing the candidates with expressions of difficulty, so biting their lips or furrowing brows in deep thought, others sweating over their desks with pens flying.
This was the last English exam; logically it should have been pretty relaxed, no?
Bai Mo couldn’t quite understand their struggles... Of course, it wasn’t just today he couldn’t understand; he had never quite understood.
After all, still inside the examination hall, the two didn’t speak much, quietly continuing their walk.
Passing by a certain examination room, they saw an examination patrol official arguing with a candidate inside.
"Who allowed you to bring this jade pendant inside?"
"What? Is there a problem? This is my protective talisman! My great-grandmother told to bring it!"
This candidate was a little fatty wearing a tight, snug donkey brand T-shirt, with a large jade pendant hung on a red string around his neck. The jade pendant’s lines were classic, showing the style of the Ancient Immortal Dynasty, with a carved tiger head on it.
At this mont, the examination patrol official had a disgruntled expression, sweeping the jade pendant with a tal detector. Although it was the final exam, he didn’t need to make things complicated. But he had seen the tiger head pendant’s eyes light up while prowling the corridor!
These days, cheating devices co in all kinds of forms; who knows if this tiger head pendant wasn’t hiding a micro-cara and a radio?
"Eh?"
The tal detector showed no response.
Scanning twice more, still no response.
The examination patrol official adjusted his glasses, wiped his eyes, suspecting he might have seen things.
"Sorry, student.
"Please continue answering the questions."
After apologizing, he turned to leave.
Bai Mo and Zhang Shan watched for a mont outside, then continued on their way.
Zhang Shan quietly complained.
"That jade was quite clear; you could tell there was nothing inside.
"Wasn’t the examination patrol official deliberately making things difficult?
"Wasting Wang Yuanbao’s precious ti for answering the questions."
Wang Yuanbao?
Bai Mo looked at Zhang Shan.
"You know that little fatty?"
Zhang Shan nodded.
"He’s a famous little wealthy guy in our school, very rich.
"His father was involved in real estate a few years ago."
"The examination patrol delaying his exam ti; perhaps his father would file a complaint!"
Bai Mo remained silent.
Complaint?
But that jade pendant really had a problem!
The examination officer might not have noticed, but Bai Mo could tell.
That pendant is a special immortal artifact from a dream, with the Ancient Immortal inside able to see the real world through the tiger’s eyes!
Wang Yuanbao is an Immortal-Related Personnel.
The tiger head pendant cos from the Ancient Immortal Master!
Who knows what Wang Yuanbao is up to?
Perhaps find a chance to quietly report him later.
...
Elsewhere, in the exam room, Wang Yuanbao had completed his paper.
His obese body swayed, seeming uncomfortable from sitting too long. Actually, adjusting the angle so the tiger head pendant could completely view his test paper.
He silently recited in his mind.
"Master, is everything correct?"
An elderly voice echoed in his mind.
"Don’t worry!
"Though I co from tens of thousands of years ago, a little out of touch with your modern era... But ultimately, I am an Immortal.
"These little tricks of your exams, I can pick up imdiately. I guarantee you’ll get full marks on all these papers!
"Prepare for the national exam, and for Shangjing University and Yanhua University to fight over you!"
Wang Yuanbao grinned.
His jade pendant was indeed a cheating device, not the ordinary type like caras or radios, but advanced stuff from the Immortal Realm!
Moreover, the Ancient Immortal Master acted as his substitute, doing the questions for him.
He didn’t need to answer questions himself, just wrote what his master said after seeing the questions.
With ti remaining before submission, he was already gleeful inside.
"Damn, I’ve hit the jackpot.
"If I took the national exam myself, I’d barely get around three hundred.
"With Master helping, maybe not expecting full marks, but at least not less than six or seven hundred?
"Then when I enroll in a good university, I’ll properly woo so top student girls, hehe."
...
Bai Mo and Zhang Shan exited the examination hall, walking out of the school gates.
They saw Teacher Chen already waiting outside with a bag of drinks.
She looked at Bai Mo, smiling.
"Xiaomo, well done. Have a drink."
Then she glanced at Zhang Shan, frowning.
"Why did you submit early?
"Not taking the exam seriously? Thirsty? Have a drink!"
Zhang Shan bent slightly, smiling awkwardly, no matter what job he took, what committees he joined, he still feared the horoom teacher.
Teacher Chen cast a few glances at Zhang Shan, sighing.
Then she turned to Bai Mo, showing a gentle smile.
"morized all the topics? Rembered the answers?
"Later, let’s trouble you to provide so answers, so classmates wanting to compare them can have a look."
