Chapter 87: Chapter 79: Me! King of Mandala Grass! The Boss of Jiaying First High School’s Medicinal Herb Realm!
Mr. Tian!!!
Director Su!!!
Is the machine broken?
At this moment, a high score of 99 points popped up on the big screen.
Both were shocked!
This means Ye Bai’s potion was infinitely close to perfect.
Could it be that Ye Bai is a genius in alchemy?
They themselves could achieve this level with such a potion, but they are both Tier Four alchemists with ample experience.
And Ye Bai is just a high school student, yet can achieve this level?
The two exchanged a glance, understanding each other’s thoughts.
They wanted to see if the machine was broken.
Mr. Tian took the potion off the device.
The potion emitted a brilliant blue light, like the most dazzling sapphire deep in the ocean, mesmerizing to behold.
They pulled out the stopper and used a clean test tube to extract some of the reagent.
The reagent dripped onto an experimental glass slide, like an exquisite blue pearl.
They took out a potion rated at 95 points for comparison and found the luster slightly less.
The potion made by Ye Bai could even be rated a perfect score.
The comparison showed a gap, no wonder the machine took so long to give a score.
Lost.
Mr. Tian felt slightly regretful and sighed deeply, "We’ve lost. Your student is truly amazing."
"I have never seen a Tier One recovery potion done so perfectly. Even I can’t always achieve this level."
"And that’s because I’m a Tier Four alchemist with seasoned experience."
"Feel free to take any herb from this field."
Damn it, that old hag Suna turned it around again!
Then Mr. Tian turned around and said loudly to the somewhat dejected students, "You all performed quite well, there is nothing to be discouraged about just because you did not lose to yourselves."
"Students, from this competition, we can see that everyone studies very seriously."
"Especially you, Meng Jia, your potion configuration was quite perfect. Remember, when participating in the Young Qilin Cup, always keep your mindset steady."
"As long as you’ve given your best, even if you lose, no one will blame you!"
"Everyone did great this time, and you deserve our praise."
Mr. Tian’s simple words reinvigorated the students’ morale.
She knew the art of speaking!
"Suna, we lost this time, but next time, we will certainly win."
"See you at the Young Qilin Cup."
Suna nodded, "Yes, see you at the Young Qilin Cup."
This exchange was not without gain, as Suna also noticed many issues.
The first was that some students who usually did well in experiments froze at crucial moments.
This required some good exercises to build courage.
Additionally, some students had weak foundations; their experimental methods and steps were incorrect and needed correction.
The Young Qilin Cup is not far away; it looked like more effort was needed.
Suna felt the weight of responsibility and looked up at the little Wind Sparrow speeding through the air, then turned around.
There was still much to teach, and no more time to waste.
As soon as she turned, she thought about opening a boot camp for intensive training; if the fundamentals were lacking, only an assault with intensive preparation before the competition would do.
As much as could be crammed in, it had to be held onto even if it was doing things last minute.
Meanwhile, the Mandala Grass King, who was speeding underground, sensed one of its clone’s awareness vanish.
When the clone’s memories returned to the Mandala Grass King’s sea of consciousness, its eyes blazed with anger.
"Damn humans, using my clone as a tool to capture the Wind Sparrow."
"They even pulled it out from the ground and replanted it, just to make the clone emit a piercing sound, even tearing its leaves for that purpose."
"As the king of Mandala Grass, to be toyed with by you like this!"
Mandala Grass King’s red eyes streamed with two lines of blood tears.
"My clone suffered relentless humiliation, and now you want to squeeze it into juice to make potions."
"Curse you humans! I swear by my name, the Mandala Grass King, blood debts must be repaid with blood!"
The Mandala Grass King was so furious that its lungs almost exploded.
How could there be such despicable, underhanded, shameless humans?
Such a person is a tumor to humanity.
The Mandala Grass King decided it must exact ruthless revenge on that human, to teach him that Mandala Grass is not to be insulted!
It shot underground, disappearing without a trace, using its awakened talent skill Earth Escape.
As long as its feet touched the ground, it could move freely and swiftly underground.
This was why humans could never find its trace.
"Human, I’ve remembered your scent, prepare for my sweet revenge."
Mandala Grass King sneered wickedly; it already thought out various ways for that human to die.
Hmph, I am the king of Mandala Grass, the flag-bearer of Jiaying First High’s Medicinal Herb Realm!
How should I deal with you?
No, too many thoughts in my head; I will just put them into practice one by one.
The corners of its mouth revealed a sinister smile.
At this moment, Ye Bai was standing in the potion field, while Teacher Tian was watching vigilantly from the side, fearing Ye Bai might take some treasure.
Ye Bai used the Eye of Insight to look around, but did not see the Mandala Grass King, not knowing where it had slipped away to.
The potion field of Jiaying First High School was very large; he couldn’t walk through it in a short time.
Seeing Teacher Tian keeping a close eye everywhere, he reluctantly chose a Mandala Grass and quickly stuffed it into the Pet Beast Space before it could roar loudly.
Teacher Tian remembered each Mandala Grass in the field vividly; the quality of the one Ye Bai chose was ordinary, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, fortunately.
Only the Mandala Grass King had a strange expression at this moment.
It had split into two clones, but one was juiced by Ye Bai, and the other was captured just now by Ye Bai and had lost contact with the main body.
What an absolute disgrace, such an absolute disgrace! This human is practically dancing on my grave.
Uncle can endure, auntie cannot endure.
Is this human deliberately trying to provoke me?
Yes, you’ve pissed me off, even if the emperor himself comes, it’s useless.
Alright, human, I remember you!
The fists of the Mandala Grass King hardened, it found a direction and chased Ye Bai’s scent all the way.
Ye Bai took the school bus from Jiaying First High School back to Shen Mountain Middle School, and a shadowy figure followed distantly along the way.
Upon seeing Ye Bai enter the Cultivation House at the school gate, the Mandala Grass King stealthily poked its head out from the ground.
"Alright, I will wait at the door of this Cultivation House until this person goes home."
"Then I’ll follow him afterward and let him hehe."
"The Mandala Grass Clan cannot be bullied!"
Ye Bai did not notice something with ill intentions following him.
He was humming a tune, feeling extremely happy.
Tonight, I will indulge myself greatly.
"Sunflower, help me pluck the feathers off these little Wind Sparrows."
The Sunflower in the Cultivation House extended its stem, wrapped around the deceased Wind Sparrows, secreting a special kind of mucus.
This mucus could corrode feathers but wouldn’t harm the Wind Sparrows’ skin.
After a while, the feathers of the Wind Sparrows were cleaned thoroughly.
Ye Bai washed them several times with clean water and marinated them with cooking wine, black pepper, salt, oyster sauce, and sugar for half an hour.
After all this preparation, Big Gray happily brought many small kittens to the door of the Cultivation House.
The Mandala Grass King, who was observing, got inadvertently stepped on by Big Gray.
Big Gray???
I seem to have stepped on something.
Could it be dog poop!!!
Big Gray’s heart skipped a beat; it slowly lifted its foot, and there was nothing underneath except for a hole.
Fortunately, Big Gray patted its chest, otherwise, Ye Bai would have been annoyed.
The kittens jumped off Big Gray as soon as they reached home, scattered like startled birds and beasts.
As Big Gray was about to enter the house, it looked up and saw Ye Bai standing at the door, arms crossed and wearing an apron.
It got startled and guiltily lowered its head.
"You’re back, you’ve been playing outside for so long, go take a good bath."
"There’s delicious food tonight, hurry up and go."
Ye Bai was in a good mood today so didn’t scold Big Gray; even if he did, would Big Gray change?
At this moment, the Mandala Grass King emerged bruised and battered from the ground; it almost got crushed by Big Gray’s foot just now.
"Dammit, it turns out this is that guy’s home, that big fat one must be that guy’s Pet Beast, the accomplice!"
"I must destroy this evil place and restore peace to the world."
Ye Bai placed the Wind Sparrows in the oven one by one, carefully wrapping the easily burnt parts like the head, feet, and wing tips with aluminum foil.
At 180 degrees Celsius for fifteen minutes, Ye Bai watched through the glass as the Wind Sparrows sizzled and dripped oil in the oven.
A rich aroma wafted out, capturing the attention of the Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm and Big Gray.
Smelling that overwhelmingly rich aroma, their drool almost dripped from the corners of their mouths.
Especially the Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm, this glutton, its wings fluttered as it was about to take flight after catching the scent.
"Not bad, cooked well, all nicely colored."
After fifteen minutes, Ye Bai flipped them over and roasted for another fifteen minutes.
More than a dozen roast Wind Sparrows emerged from the oven.
The baking tray was full of fragrant grease.
Ye Bai took the opportunity to roast some potatoes and garlic with the oil, intensifying the aroma.
Passersby stopped in their tracks, trying to determine where this incredibly wonderful aroma was coming from.
Just then, a Gray Poison Moth flew over from afar, its wings generated gusts.
Zhang Lingxue descended from the Gray Poison Moth’s back.
She waved her hand, and the Gray Poison Moth vanished into her Pet Beast Space.
Zhang Lingxue sought Ye Bai to discuss experimental results on the Blood Poison Moth and Blood Gu Butterfly.
Today, she had used three Blood Gu Butterflies to treat her grandfather, completely eliminating the Blood Gu from his system.
Next, she needed to organize complete experimental records and compile them into a paper for her teacher’s review.
Zhang Lingxue opened the door, and an alluring fragrance rushed in, eagerly entering her nostrils.
