Ding!
"Mission issued. Please let all five of your students break through to the next level within a month. Reward: 1 silver treasure chest. If you fail, you will be punished according to the degree of failure."
"F * * * your mom!"
Sun Mo cursed. He definitely couldn't tolerate this. "Do you think breaking through is like eating a meal? Even if you aren't hungry, you can still stuff a few mouthfuls into your mouth. This is a breakthrough and needs to be tempered continuously. It needs quantitative change to cause qualitative change. "
"A great teacher has to turn the impossible into the possible. If students can easily break through, what's the point of having a teacher?"
The system would definitely not take back the mission.
"Don't give me that!"
Sun Mo was no longer that country bumpkin who had just come to Middle-Earth Nine Provinces.
During this period of time in the library, in addition to the memories left in his original body, he had a detailed understanding of cultivation.
Things like breaking through couldn't be rushed. One could only persevere in their cultivation every day. When the conditions were right, they would naturally break through.
Breaking through wasn't like a woman's period. No one would know when it would come.
"I have to remind you that if you want to break through by eating peak-grade alchemy pills, it's considered opportunistic and is prohibited by the system. Once it's discovered, you will be severely punished."
The system warned.
"I'm a human, I don't have a bottom line!"
Sun Mo rolled his eyes. Leaving aside the fact that he was poor and couldn't afford to buy peak-grade alchemy pills, even if he could, he wouldn't do such a thing.
Every medicine was 30% poisonous!
All alchemy pills would have some side effects. Even if he couldn't feel it now, when his cultivation base was higher in the future, it might erupt.
After tens of thousands of years, the aboriginals of the Nine Provinces had a deep understanding of cultivation.
If one couldn't build a solid foundation when they were at the lower levels and climb up step by step, it would be increasingly difficult for them to break through when they reached the higher levels.
Of course, there were some naturally occurring medicinal plants that had no side effects. For example, the Starmoon Fruit Sun Mo had obtained earlier.
"Teacher?"
Seeing that Sun Mo suddenly stopped talking, Li Ziqi felt a little worried.
"Continue. Xuanyuan Po, come over."
Sun Mo called the combat addict over and touched him. Other than exclaiming in admiration, he didn't know what to say.
This fellow was incomparably strong.
His blood surged like a flood. His bones were as hard as steel. Every cell in his body was filled with surging energy.
"How is it?"
Xuanyuan Po asked.
"Is your body really that of a human?"
Compared to Tantai Yutang, who was like a candle flame that could be extinguished at any moment, Xuanyuan Po was like a volcano that was constantly erupting with vitality.
Xuanyuan Po's expression changed as he shouted, "How could I not be human?"
As he spoke, Xuanyuan Po even slapped Sun Mo's hand away.
"Xuanyuan Po, teacher is just making an analogy. Do you understand what an analogy is?"
Li Ziqi explained, but she reckoned that Xuanyuan Po wouldn't understand.
"Who's the metaphor?"
Sure enough, Xuan Yuan Po frowned, "Why did you hit him?"
Li Ziqi speechlessly facepalmed. Among her teacher's personal disciples, Xuanyuan Po's aptitude should be the highest and he was also the best at fighting. However, his brain was probably the stupidest.
"Eh? Isn't a metaphor a form of rhetoric? Could it be a human? "
Lu Zhiruo was astonished.
"Alright, the papaya girl is about the same!"
Li Ziqi cast a glance at Sun Mo. Her teacher's future path of teaching would surely be tough. She hoped that he wouldn't stumble and lose his teeth.
"Just continue to cultivate according to your current intensity!"
Sun Mo had nothing to add.
Next was Jiang Leng. Although Sun Mo had a premonition that Jiang Leng's body wasn't too good, he still couldn't help but feel shocked after touching him.
This wasn't just bad, it was simply crippled.
Because those shattered spirit runes interfered with Jiang Leng's absorption of spirit qi, his body was like a piece of land that had been ravaged by tens of tornadoes, riddled with holes.
If he wanted to break through, he had to absorb spirit qi.
After ordinary cultivators absorbed spirit qi, the spirit qi would circulate through their meridians in a regular pattern. However, Jiang Leng wasn't able to do so.
Once the spirit qi entered his body, it would be disturbed by those spirit runes and circulate chaotically.
For example, these spirit runes were like reefs. They would obstruct the normal circulation of spirit qi, forming many chaotic currents.
If spirit qi were to circulate chaotically in one's body, even a fool would know what terrifying effects it would have.
"If you still want to live, you should temporarily stop cultivating!"
Sun Mo solemnly warned.
Although he already knew the answer, Jiang Leng still felt very disappointed when he heard it from Sun Mo. As expected, he was already a cripple.
At the thought of this, Jiang Leng smiled sorrowfully. "I'm very grateful to Teacher for accepting me as a disciple. However, a cripple like me will bring disgrace to your prestige. You better expel me from the school!"
Seeing that Jiang Leng was dispirited and his will was starting to drop, Sun Mo could only persuade him nicely to give him some confidence.
"Don't give up, there might be a way to salvage the situation!"
Sun Mo mentally mused that he probably wouldn't be able to complete the mission this time around. He couldn't possibly force Jiang Leng to cultivate, right? That would harm him!
Also, it was already very tough for the sickly Tantai Yutang to be able to live. How would he have the excess energy to break through? As for Li Ziqi and Lu Zhiruo, one's athletic ability was almost zero, while the other's potential value was extremely low. One could easily guess what the result would be.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to avoid the punishment for failing the mission this time around."
Although Sun Mo mocked himself, he didn't give up.
For the next period of time, Sun Mo let his five students ask questions, bringing up the puzzles they had in their cultivation.
Sun Mo was already prepared to lose face if he couldn't answer them. However, Jiang Leng didn't speak at all, Li Ziqi couldn't bear to make things difficult for Sun Mo, and Lu Zhiruo was like a little tail that obediently sat next to Sun Mo.
Tantai Yutang, who was labeled as a time bomb by the system, was thinking about something. He used a handkerchief to cover his mouth, and other than coughing a few times occasionally, he didn't say anything.
As for Xuanyuan Po, he had a lot of questions, but they were all basic general knowledge.
Let alone Sun Mo, as long as the graduation certificate wasn't bought, any graduate would be able to answer his questions.
"So this is the case!"
Xuanyuan Po repeatedly revealed an expression of enlightenment.
"Are you a barbarian living in the deep mountains and forests? For these questions, you can just buy a few books on cultivation on the streets and you'll be able to get the answers. "
Li Ziqi was speechless.
She already knew all these questions when she was five years old.
Time passed rapidly amidst Xuanyuan Po's intensive questioning until the melodious sound of the bell rang out.
Dong! Dong! Dong!
Noon arrived. This was the bell that signaled the end of the lesson.
"Finally, the lesson has ended!"
Li Ziqi cheered in her heart and immediately jumped up. "Today is the first time we're gathering together. Why don't we go and have a meal together?"
Sun Mo didn't seem to be rich, so Li Ziqi planned to secretly pay the bill during the meal.
"What's the arrangement for your future lessons?"
Tantai Yutang looked toward Sun Mo.
"This is the lesson schedule that the school has arranged for me!"
Sun Mo took out the five lesson schedules that he had prepared and passed them to the students.
"If you guys are interested, just come. If you guys aren't, then forget it. I won't force you guys. As for the guidance lessons, there will be one every three days, and there will be ten lessons every month. I've already written down the time.
"I don't care what your reasons are. You guys must attend the guidance lessons. Even if you're sick, you guys have to crawl over!"
After saying this, Sun Mo's tone became stern.
For things like rules, they had to be set up right from the start and become a habit. If not, when the students got used to being lazy, it would be difficult to discipline them.
"Teacher, you aren't targeting me, right?"
Tantai Yutang smiled bitterly.
"Do you want me to give you special treatment?"
Sun Mo counter-asked.
"Eh!"
Tantai Yutang was stumped. Honestly speaking, his pride was very strong, and he hated it the most when people sympathized with him. Sun Mo's words actually gave him a little favorable impression.
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Tantai Yutang + 5. Sun Mo was speechless as he listened to the system's notification. He was giving favorable impression points just like this? This Tantai Yutang was really a lunatic!
"Other than this, if you guys have any questions, you can come and ask me anytime."
Sun Mo looked at his five students. "Whether it's in terms of cultivation, life, or even emotions, I'll do my best to help you guys answer them."
In the various countries of the nine provinces, after a student acknowledged a teacher, the teacher would be like half a father to the student. Therefore, it was only natural for Sun Mo to say this.
If there were students who were thick-skinned enough to come and freeload for food and drinks every day, Sun Mo could only endure it. If he dared to complain, his reputation would be ruined.
Therefore, this was also the reason why teachers were so cautious when accepting disciples.
In the hearts of teachers, a good student didn't just refer to a good aptitude but also a good character. If they were to accidentally accept a rebellious disciple, they'd definitely be troubled for life.
Li Ziqi stood up. "Alright, since we're done with the proper matters, let's go and eat!"
"Sorry, I have something to do later!"
Tantai Yutang bade farewell.
"I've gained a lot today. I'm going to fight and digest it!"
Xuanyuan Po left.
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Xuanyuan Po + 10. Neutral Jiang Leng didn't say anything and directly left.
"Ugh!"
Li Ziqi's lips twitched, wanting to flare up. (You guys actually left just like that?) Don't you think that I, the Eldest Senior Sister, don't want face?
Ding!
"Congratulations, you have completed the first guidance lesson for a personal disciple. Your performance is not bad, and you are hereby rewarded with a mysterious treasure chest. Congratulations on taking a milestone step on the path of a great teacher. Please continue to work hard!"
As the system notification rang out, a large treasure chest that was enshrouded in purple light appeared before Sun Mo.
Sun Mo took the opportunity to pat the papaya girl's head. After counting to eight, he said in his heart, 'Open!'
The Mysterious Treasure Chest opened, and after the magnificent and luxurious light dissipated, a walnut-sized fruit was left behind.
The fruit was emitting a golden glow, and its skin was uneven. It had a texture that was half metal and half glass.
Ding!
"Congratulations on obtaining a Diamond Fruit. The selling price of this item is 3,000 favorable impression points in the merchant store. After consuming it, you can refine your body and raise the quality of your body, allowing you to have a qualitative leap.
"In layman's terms, you will become stronger!"
The system explained.
"I wouldn't become bald as well, right?"
Sun Mo teased.
If it wasn't for the two female students being present and Sun Mo needing to pay attention to his image, he would be so happy that he wanted to whistle!
There was a huge pile of explanations for the Diamond Fruit. As long as he knew that it was worth 3,000 favorable impression points, he would have made a huge profit!
One must know that Sun Mo had worked so hard for so long, yet he hadn't accumulated 3,000 favorable impression points!
"Teacher, I wish to experience your Ancient Dragon Capturing Hands!"
