In the grand hall, Bai Mo lifted his head, looking at his Knowledge Container, with a peculiar expression.
The surrounding foxes beca excited, rushing into the hall, bouncing around the Great Tripod and their master, shaking their heads, and began to dance.
"Ying ying ying!"
"Aow aow aow!"
"Ying ying ying!"
Above the opening of the Tripod, stood four bronze foxes, positioned at four directions, facing outward, guarding the Great Tripod!
The first bronze fox, holding a sword with a backward claw, stood with chest out and stomach protruding.
The second bronze fox, holding a shovel, looked smug.
The third bronze fox, raising a small hamr, frowned slightly.
The fourth bronze fox, with a copper plate on its head, appeared elated.
"What’s going on here? It’s not the standard shape of a Pot either..."
Whoever saw a Pot with four foxes?
But Bai Mo had a subtle realization in his heart, that the process of forming and casting this Tripod was not flawed, but rather a great success.
He stepped forward, stroking the Great Tripod.
Yet, although it was clearly newly cast, the surface bore rough bronze rust, as if it had weathered millennia. Upon close observation within the mottled rust, faint traces of small texts could be seen.
These small texts were dense and layered, yet ford their own order.
Bai Mo saw in these texts his own research on the Purple Earth Dragon, observed the traits of the Brain-eating Vine, recognized a thread of his botanical stem research, and understood his insights into the Big Mushroom Ship stems... He was the owner of the Tripod, and the Tripod was his knowledge.
"Since it’s completed, that couldn’t be better.
"This success indicates that my approach and thodology are sound.
"Following this path, all six Knowledge Containers of Sequence Six can be cast!"
Bai Mo instructed his disciples to stop circling and dancing, and was about to retract the container when he suddenly noticed the container producing a trendous suction, pulling on a segnt of Purple Earth Dragon stem beside the table... or rather...
"Is it attempting to draw sothing from within the Purple Earth Dragon stem?"
Bai Mo extended his Divine Sense, detecting the Purple Earth Dragon’s resistance and reluctance, its helplessness and grievance.
He understood the aning of the Purple Earth Dragon... this Great Tripod seeks to absorb the Primordial Immortal Qi of the Purple Earth Dragon stem!
Bai Mo suddenly realized.
"No wonder it’s a container, so it’s ant to hold the Primordial Immortal Qi of everything?
"At this mont, the Great Tripod is instinctively triggered, attempting to absorb this segnt’s Primordial Immortal Qi from the Purple Earth Dragon?"
He looked at the Purple Earth Dragon.
"If you don’t want to give it, I won’t force you.
"There’s still a long ti, we can discuss it slowly."
Forcing isn’t the solution, they can deliberate over ti.
Bai Mo grinned widely, with a thought, effortlessly controlling the Great Tripod to let the Purple Earth Dragon go.
Then the Great Tripod disassembled with a roar into nurous bronze texts, which, like birds returning ho, flew back into Bai Mo’s sleeves.
...
The night was deep and dark.
Inside the dormitory hall, it was pitch black, and the foxes gathered in circles, all discussing their master’s Great Tripod.
Peach Blossom Eyes held a small shovel with a smug pose.
"Ying ying ying, aow aow ying ying?"
...Doesn’t it resemble the bronze fox on the Great Tripod?
The foxes one by one cast their gaze over, frowning slightly.
It does look sowhat alike!
But the foxes planting the dicinal fields all have small shovels, resembling the statue indeed, as... it’s a bronze statue, and the color makes it hard to distinguish who it actually is.
...
White Claw, with a backward claw holding a sword, stood with chest out and stomach protruding.
"Aow aow aow? Ying ying aow aow?"
...Doesn’t it resemble the sword-holding fox on the Great Tripod?
The foxes had doubtful expressions, but soon discovered sothing.
"Ying ying aow aow! Ying ying ying!"
The fox on the statue, its sword is solid!
But White Claw’s sword is hollow!
White Claw tilted its head, pondering for a mont.
"Aow?"
It also used a solid sword before!
But not just it, many many brothers and sisters all have used solid swords.
...
Overalls held a small hamr, furrowing its brows, adopting a serious expression.
It looked up and asked its brothers and sisters.
"Aow aow aow, ying ying aow aow?"
...Doesn’t it resemble the bronze fox on the Tripod?
The brothers in the circle tilted their heads, with skepticism in their eyes.
Among the thousands of foxes in various workshops on Fox Mountain, quite a number have wielded hamrs. They all felt that they were quite similar too!
...
Quanquan Hu, with a copper plate on top of its head, raised its front paws to hold it up.
Happily recalled the scene of delivering docunts to their master!
"Ying ying ying, aow aow ying ying!"
The fourth bronze fox on Master’s Great Tripod looked just like this!
Next to it, Black Ears, White Ears, and Big Flower Arm all tilted their heads and laughed.
Now there are more vehicles on Fox Mountain, and running to deliver docunts to Master isn’t needed anymore, as everyone drives now.
But from the hall entrance to the Master’s desk, the last few hundred ters are still done like this, delivered using their heads!
...
In the center of the dormitory, Bai Mo lay on his back, arms behind his head.
Moon Claw and Star Claw lay on either side of their Master.
They had decided, from now on they would just lie here tonight, not leaving, and later snuggle up to their Master to sleep.
Thinking of this, both foxes tilted their heads, laughing quietly.
Bai Mo, with his eyes closed, was feeling his newly cast Knowledge Container.
"This Tripod... is it a container for storing Primordial Immortal Qi?"
After so experintation, he had it figured out.
The Primordial Immortal Qi needed for the Alchemy Path only exists in Sequence Six or higher Immortal Grass. During the Ancient Immortal Dynasty, it might have been relatively abundant. But many millennia later, it’s already an extrely scarce resource.
"That Purple Earth Dragon will need to be well taken care of.
"The resurrection of other Super Immortal Grass also needs to be prioritized."
