"Come and take a look in a few days. I'll keep it for you if I have it!"
The shop owner didn't want to lose such a generous customer.
"Do you think these spirit runes are like sesame seed cakes sold at roadside stalls? I'm afraid this kind of artwork will take a long time to paint. "
Fang Yan snorted disdainfully. What he learned was the art of spirit runes. How could he not know how long it would take to draw such a beautiful spirit rune?
The shop owner's mouth moved, but he still decided not to tell this tower-like guy that Teacher Sun had only used 15 minutes to finish the drawing.
What if this tower-like man thinks that I lied to him and beats me up?
However, Teacher Sun was truly impressive. This tower-like guy clearly majored in the study of spirit runes. Since he said that it was a good item, it must be really good.
Ding!
Favorable impression points from the shop owner + 15. Neutral, help me prepare these! "
Fang Yan took out a list and handed it to the shop owner.
Usually, he would buy things from another spirit rune shop that he was familiar with. However, that shop was out of stock today, and he was in urgent need of it, so he came to this shop.
The shop owner quickly followed Fang Yan's instructions. When he sent Fang Yan out, he still did not give up and reminded him, "When you are free in a few days, you can come and take a look. That batch of Spirit Gathering Runes is definitely not inferior to the one today."
Fang Yan couldn't be bothered with him. Someone who could draw such a spirit gathering rune must be a spirit rune grandmaster.
Such a spirit rune grandmaster would basically be extremely busy. Who would be so free to draw spirit gathering runes for you? If they had the time, they could draw even more powerful spirit runes to earn more money.
…
Lu Changhe's house, which was that spirit rune shop, was located on the east side of the long street outside the school. Because the distance was very close, Lu Changhe would always return home for his meals.
Today, Lu Changhe had just returned home when he was pulled back to the study room by his father.
"What happened?"
Lu Changhe rubbed his stomach absent-mindedly. He could smell the fragrance; there was definitely a chicken stew today.
"Look at this Spirit Gathering Rune!"
The shop owner lifted the red cloth covering the table like he was presenting a treasure, revealing the Spirit Gathering Rune that Sun Mo had drawn.
"Beautiful!"
Lu Changhe's eyes brightened. He quickly walked to the table and lowered his head in admiration. "Look at the arrangement of the spirit runes. This should be a spirit gathering rune. The drawing is so beautiful!"
"Rank 6!"
The shopkeeper was showing off.
"Hiss, that would cost a lot of money. Where did you get it?"
Lu Changhe studied the study of spirit runes. Hence, he could sense how outstanding and beautiful this spirit rune was.
"I didn't spend any money. A teacher in your school drew it for me."
The shop owner chuckled.
"Our school?"
Lu Changhe frowned. He glanced at the Spirit Gathering Rune and had a look of suspicion on his face. "According to my estimations, there are less than ten people who are able to draw such a spirit rune. Those people are all major characters. Why would they have any dealings with a small shop like ours?"
"What do you mean by a small store?"
Hearing his son's words, the shop owner was unhappy. He raised his hand and knocked Lu Changhe's head. "Didn't I rely on this shop to raise you guys?"
"Yes, yes, yes. I was wrong!"
Lu Changhe, who was originally a little hungry, sat on the stool as he carefully studied this spirit rune.
"Teacher Sun Mo, have you heard of him before?"
Seeing how engrossed his son was, the shop owner felt very proud. Given how hardworking his son was, he would surely have great achievements in the study of spirit runes.
"I've definitely heard of him before. He's an intern teacher who's currently in the limelight in our school. Why? Even you've heard about him? "
Lu Changhe was curious.
"Intern teacher?"
The shop owner frowned.
"Oh, that's not right. He officially joined the school a few days ago."
Lu Changhe recalled the matters regarding Sun Mo.
"Eh? Don't the intern teachers in your school have to go through a year of internship before they can officially join the school? "
The shop owner had been operating this shop for over twenty years. He was naturally very familiar with the Central Province Academy in the vicinity.
"Sun Mo is impressive. He managed to recruit five personal disciples during the student recruitment meet, so he naturally made an exception and accepted them."
Lu Changhe explained.
"So this is the case!"
The shop owner wasn't surprised. Sun Mo had such a powerful spirit rune technique. It was a piece of cake for him to accept a few students.
"After the first public lecture, Sun Mo's Ancient Dragon Capturing Hands became famous in our school. Everyone said that he possesses God Hands and wanted him to touch them to see their own condition."
Lu Changhe also wanted to do so, but he knew that he wouldn't have a chance.
"Ah? Ancient Dragon Capturing Hands? What are you talking about? "
The shop owner had a dumbfounded look on his face. His son didn't seem to be talking about the same person.
"It's the Ancient Dragon Capturing Hands. Just by touching a student a few times, he would be able to know their physical condition. How impressive."
Before Lu Changhe could finish speaking, he was interrupted.
"I'm not talking about him. I'm talking about that Sun Mo who is extremely impressive in spirit rune techniques."
The shop owner shook his head.
"There's only one Sun Mo in our school!"
Lu Changhe had a dumbfounded look on his face. After that, he came to a realization and pointed to the spirit gathering rune on the table. "You are saying that this was drawn by Teacher Sun Mo?"
"Yes!"
The shop owner nodded.
"..."
Lu Changhe held his forehead. "Wait a moment, let me feel it!"
After that, Lu Changhe's gaze landed on the spirit gathering rune again. After taking a closer look, he smiled. "Dad, you are testing me, right?"
"What am I testing you about?"
The shop owner didn't understand. (What are you imagining?)
"Dad, you are still pretending. The completion rate of this spirit gathering rune is so high, and the few details indicate that the person who drew it has at least ten years of experience in spirit rune drawing. How can it be drawn by Sun Mo? He is only 20 years old! "
Lu Changhe was speechless.
Professor He Yuanjin's spirit rune lessons were very popular in the Central Province Academy. Every time, students would have to book a seat two hours in advance or there wouldn't be any seats left.
Lu Changhe listened to every single lesson. Hence, he had seen the spirit gathering rune drawn by Teacher He Yuanjin before, and it was on par with this one.
(No, maybe it's even inferior.)
The spirit gathering rune before his eyes was truly beautiful.
"That Teacher Sun who came today is only 20 years old!"
After the shop owner spoke, he suddenly came to a realization. (That's right, a spirit gathering rune of this grade was drawn by a young teacher?)
"Could it be that he started drawing spirit runes when he was in his mother's womb?"
The shop owner was shocked.
Ding!
Favorable impression points from the shop owner + 25. Neutral dad, are you really not joking? "
Lu Changhe frowned.
"Why would I lie to you?"
The shop owner glared at his son.
Lu Changhe was shocked and instinctively didn't believe it. Because he liked the study of spirit runes and was praised by Teacher He Yuanjin as having talent, he was very proud.
However, when Lu Changhe looked at the spirit gathering rune before him, he knew that even if he trained bitterly for ten years, he most probably wouldn't be able to reach this level.
"Sun Mo only used slightly more than 15 minutes to finish drawing it."
The shop owner revealed another piece of information.
"Dad!"
Lu Changhe dragged out his voice and grumbled. He instantly felt that life had become boring.
"Teacher Sun Mo's attainments in the study of spirit runes are so high. He would surely conduct a public lecture on the study of spirit runes. Don't you like this subject? Don't miss it then. "
The shop owner reminded.
"I understand."
There was no need for the shop owner to say anything. If Sun Mo's public lecture contained the study of spirit runes, Lu Changhe would definitely attend it.
"You must maintain your respect for Teacher Sun Mo."
The shop owner added.
"I understand!"
After Lu Changhe spoke, he picked up the spirit gathering rune on the table and ran. "This belongs to me!"
"You stinky brat!"
The shop owner was angered to death. He couldn't be bothered to look for the feather duster anymore. He picked up a wooden stool and started to chase after Sun Mo. "If you break it, I will break your legs."
After seeing the attitude of Fang Yan and his son, the shop owner decided not to use this spirit gathering rune anymore. He wanted to keep it as a souvenir.
...
Sun Mo basically didn't expect that drawing a spirit rune would cause such a huge commotion.
The library was quiet, but when Sun Mo drew the spirit rune, it would absorb the spirit qi in the surroundings and form a qi tornado. This would disturb the study of others.
If he went to the teaching building, he could find a small classroom that could fit 30 people. However, there would always be people who would come over to spectate after hearing the commotion.
Sun Mo didn't like being stared at. Given his personality, he wouldn't occupy a classroom for an entire afternoon. That would be too tasteless.
There was also the meditation room. He wouldn't be allowed to use it alone for half a day. After all, he wasn't the only teacher in the Central Province Academy.
As for the dormitory, Sun Mo didn't wish to see Zhang Sheng's face.
"Could it be that I have to rent a house near the school?"
During dinner, Sun Mo started to seriously consider this question.
The school had two buildings for teachers to stay in. However, Sun Mo had just joined the school. Regardless of his qualifications or results, he wasn't qualified to be allocated a house.
Life wouldn't come to a halt just because you weren't happy. In fact, it would even give you an uppercut, causing you to look for your teeth all over the ground.
Sun Mo, who returned to the dormitory late at night, slept for a while and woke up early again. He brought his lesson plan to the teaching building. He still had to teach five students today, and the first public lecture was in the afternoon.
After Sun Mo left the dormitory, Zhang Sheng lifted the blanket that covered his head.
If it wasn't for the fact that he had no place to stay, Zhang Sheng would have moved out of the dormitory long ago. After a few conflicts between him and Sun Mo, Zhang Sheng had been avoiding him now.
"I'm really envious!"
Ludi sighed. Sun Mo had a lesson plan and was teaching the students. What he plucked was pig's hair and was showing filial piety to the teachers.
"What's there to be envious about? I'll become an official teacher very soon!"
Zhang Sheng snorted.
"Very soon? There's at least a year of internship. Just slowly endure it! "
Ludi sneered.
"Mn?"
Zhang Sheng was stunned. He couldn't help but look at Ludi and spoke in an unhappy tone, "What did you say?"
"I said there's still a year of internship!"
Ludi repeated.
"You..."
Zhang Sheng's countenance instantly changed.
Ever since this Ludi entered the same dormitory, although he didn't try to curry favor with him, he would always have a smile on his face when speaking to him. His attitude was very good, but now, he was actually arguing with him?
Ludi lowered his head and continued to pluck pig's hair. As for whether Zhang Sheng was angry or not, he didn't care at all.
In the past, Zhang Sheng was outstanding and had a very high chance of staying in school. But now, after consecutive failures, Ludi had already recognized this fellow's true colors.
He couldn't do it!
Since the chances of everyone staying in school were the same, why did he have to curry favor with him? Moreover, this fellow had offended Sun Mo.
Zhang Sheng looked at Ludi and recalled that when Yuan Feng was still around, Sun Mo had also been isolated by the three of them. But now, it was his turn.
This was why they said that losers wouldn't get respect!
As for Sun Mo, he had relied on his strength to win Ludi's respect. Clearly, in Ludi's heart, he had changed from someone who needed to curry favor to someone he could casually argue with.
His status had plummeted.
