Chapter 292 180: Ten Great Secret Medicines – Nasal Soup!
"... Well, we've covered almost everything we need to in this class.
"I assume everyone has a basic understanding of mathematics now?"
It was midday, and the sun was blazing. The curtains in the classroom were drawn.
On the podium, the math teacher looked quite pleased with himself.
"Mathematics is, of course, a very challenging subject.
"But you should have confidence, after all, your intelligence and ability have been tested by the college entrance examination."
Below the podium, Wan Bocheng, Lan Fangfang, and other classmates all nodded, the corners of their mouths slightly raised, agreeing with and appreciating the statement.
"And, you have an excellent teacher like me to guide you in your studies."
The smiles on the students' faces froze slightly.
"Oh, right, I need to mention the book list again!
"In addition to the textbooks issued by the school, there are some more that you need to purchase on your own!"
The math teacher turned around and swiftly wrote a list of books on the blackboard.
Bai Mo looked up and glanced at it.
"Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy"
"The Beauty of Mathematics"
"Solutions to Jimmy's Problem Collection"
"Principles of Mathematical Analysis"
...
The students frowned.
"So many?"
"Where to buy them?"
"Black Cat platform or White Dog platform?"
...
Fox Mountain, dormitory hall.
In the quiet night of the hall, the foxes were already asleep, with long breaths rising and falling.
Occasionally, there were sounds of teeth grinding, occasionally snoring.
Amidst the rising mist, the figures of Bai Mo and Moon Claw appeared.
"Is everyone asleep?"
Bai Mo picked up the red cotton pajamas beside the bed and put them on... After all, Fox Mountain was quite cold.
"Whimper, whimper."
Moon Claw was holding a thick stack of books... all second-hand books Bai Mo had just bought. Among them were the titles mentioned by the teacher, like "The Beauty of Mathematics" and "Principles of Mathematical Analysis". Bai Mo bought them very cheaply, a thick book only cost a few coins, and only the first dozen pages were used; the rest were untouched and brand new, a great bargain!
Bai Mo instructed Moon Claw to put this pile of books under the bed for easy access at any time.
There, under the bed, were already piled dozens of stone slabs and copper plates.
Bai Mo suddenly felt a bit emotional.
"Modern knowledge only costs a few coins per book, available to read and learn freely. Plus, there's a teacher to teach.
"The knowledge of the Ancient Immortal Dynasty had to be dug out from the earth, piece by piece, copper plates, stone slabs, cumbersome and heavy, with only a few words.
"What is truly needed might not even be found."
He grinned and was about to climb into bed to sleep, when he suddenly noticed the copper plates under the bed, their corners curled with patterns... "Could it be the manuscripts left by that Ancient Immortal who was not as good as his wife have been found?"
Bai Mo was surprised and delighted, and he quietly sat by the bed, retrieved these manuscripts from under the bed, and began to read.
Moon Claw glanced at the densely packed senior apprentices nearby, finding no place to sleep in... It furrowed its brows, had a brainwave, tilted its head with a sly smile, and immediately burrowed into its master's embrace, rubbing its head against the master, closed its eyes, yawned, and fell asleep soundly.
The hall was quiet.
In the darkness, Bai Mo used his Divine Sense to read the text on the copper plates, deciphering it bit by bit. More than half an hour later, he had understood all the manuscripts left by the male Ancient Immortal.
He took a deep breath, feeling slightly excited.
"It's a jackpot again!"
This Living Nose Immortal Technique... or Nasal Soup, is one of the top ten secret medicines needed to advance to Sequence Six!
Moreover, the copper plates recorded the formula and refining method for the Nasal Soup.
Bai Mo set down the copper plates, picked up his tablet, and began writing and drawing, deducing and organizing this refining method.
Thus, time passed gradually. Bai Mo wrote line after line of equations on the tablet, drew flowcharts one after another.
After who knows how long, he suddenly tugged at the corners of his mouth.
"No wonder...
"No wonder this thing requires guidance from Sequence Six!"
The final step in refining the Nasal Soup was not detailed in the formula.
Based on Bai Mo's reasoning and deduction, this final step was even completely unnecessary, with countless possible answers; it could be refined in any way.
Bai Mo swiftly drew out over a dozen flowcharts for the final step.
"... This can't be.
"According to the principle of Nasal Soup, this formula should relate to the physique of the user.
"For every individual, there can only be one compatible process."
Bai Mo furrowed his brow, thought for a moment, picked up his pen, and continued deducing.
...
After who knows how long.
The fox apprentices who had woken up one by one huddled around and crowded by their master's side.
Some buried their heads in their master's embrace, others rested their chins on their master's shoulder, quietly watching the master deduce.
The tablet, upon which they were writing rapidly, suddenly warned, "Battery level below five percent."
Bai Mo stopped writing and looked up.
He saw that the night in the dormitory hall had already dispersed, replaced by the faint glow of dawn.
And his deduction had finally reached a conclusion.
"This is not a problem that can be solved by recklessness.
"With the existing knowledge at Sequence Seven, there's no way to refine Nasal Soup.
"This thing probably... requires Sequence Six guidance."
The apprentices nodded upon hearing the master's words.
"Howl, howl!"
"Whimper, whimper!"
... The master made sense!
Even though they didn't quite understand what the master was talking about.
Bai Mo rubbed Moon Claw's head in his embrace, feeling that this matter was somewhat tricky.
"In the warehouse, there are actually higher-sequence manuscripts. But I can't understand high-sequence text.
"By understanding the high-sequence text, I can learn the Nasal Soup and continue to advance.
"And by advancing further, there's a chance to understand high-sequence text.
"This darn... deadlock..."
Bai Mo tugged at the corners of his mouth.
