With this, Sun Mo's prestige was maxed out.
The first day of surgeries ended, but the major characters didn't disperse. They gathered around Sun Mo and asked him some questions.
The 3-star great teachers present also had many questions, but they couldn't interject at all.
Cui Shunen relied on the fact that he was the second-in-command of the manor and had an esteemed status to dominate Sun Mo, asking question after question.
Luckily, other people were interested in the content.
However, there weren't many who could understand it immediately.
"Little students, you guys have done well!"
A bald 3-star great teacher saw that he couldn't talk to Sun Mo, so he decided to use a roundabout way to gain Li Ziqi's favor.
"Many thanks for the praise!"
The little sunny egg was a little reserved. "But you should address me as Teacher Li!"
"Huh?"
The few great teachers in the surroundings started.
"I got first place in the 1-star examination that just ended!"
Li Ziqi didn't like to flaunt her vanity, but she had no choice but to do so in such a situation.
Because without results, these major characters wouldn't even look at her in the eye.
Si ~
Everyone drew in a cold gasp of air and looked at the little sunny egg in shock.
"How old are you? 17 years old? "
The bald great teacher asked.
"15!"
Li Ziqi smiled.
"So young?"
The bald great teacher scratched his sideburns that still had a few strands of hair left. "I remember that the youngest record was obtained by the current Saint Gate's Sect Leader."
"My eldest martial sister has already broken that record."
Jiang Leng interjected.
There was silence, and everyone was dumbfounded.
However, when they thought of her standard when she assisted Sun Mo in his surgery, it wasn't strange anymore.
"It's all thanks to Teacher's good teaching!"
Li Ziqi spoke humbly and lifted Sun Mo's hand. "Also, you asked earlier if using such a method to repair spirit runes wouldn't the flow of spirit qi be interrupted?"
"The answer is yes. That's why we have to use superb techniques, miraculous medicinal herbs, and the Ancient Dragon Capturing Hands to make the spirit runes as close to their original state as possible."
At this moment, the little sunny egg was extremely knowledgeable. She spoke frankly with assurance, neither servile nor overbearing.
"This is a treasure girl!"
Those great teachers and assistants who weren't qualified to interrupt immediately came over and started to ask questions.
Li Ziqi answered them one by one.
In order to be qualified as an assistant, the little sunny egg had also done her research diligently. The amount of time she slept was even less than Sun Mo.
Bai Wenzhang looked at Li Ziqi, feeling very envious of her good luck.
He also wanted such an outstanding disciple.
"Alright, let's go to the lecture hall. It's too crowded here."
Bai Wenzhang clapped his hands.
"It's getting late. Why don't we eat first?"
Xiao Feng suggested.
He didn't dare to let Sun Mo continue speaking. If not, he would win the favorable impression of the major characters of the Dragonspirit Manor.
"What's there to eat? Starving for a few days won't kill me! "
Cui Shunen berated, deeply afraid that Sun Mo would go and eat.
There were some people in the great teacher world who treasured the high-end knowledge they had. Cui Shunen didn't know if Sun Mo was such a person.
Just in case, he wanted to take advantage of the fact that Sun Mo was in a good mood and was willing to talk to him.
"I'm going to shave him once."
When they entered the lecture hall, Cui Shunen activated his shameless questioning mode.
The others couldn't get a word in.
For a total of two hours, it was Sun Mo and Cui Shunen talking.
"Cui shi, it's my turn too!"
Yan Sui was displeased.
Although Sun Mo's answers were helpful to him, he had an even more important question he wanted to ask.
"I'm sorry, I'll ask three more. How about five? I'll give them to you!"
Cui Shunen smiled awkwardly.
Xiao Feng looked at those major characters with white hair sitting in their seats. It was as though he had returned to his student days, seriously listening to the lessons and taking notes. He was about to die from anxiety.
"This mustn't continue."
Xiao Feng tugged at Wu Li who was beside him. "We have to stop him. If not, our most precious research results would be learned by him."
Given Sun Mo's terrifying learning ability, it wouldn't take too long for him to squeeze out all the research results from the manor, leaving not a single drop behind.
"Mn!"
Wu Li replied.
"Find some more people. Try to make their statuses as high as possible. Only then would their words carry weight."
Xiao Feng thought of a plan.
"Mn!"
"First, arrange for a few heavily injured experimental bodies to increase the difficulty of the surgery. Let Sun Mo fail a few more times!"
Xiao Feng suddenly discovered that his plan wasn't bad.
(Could it be that I have the potential to be a strategist?)
"Mn!"
After hearing this word again, Xiao Feng frowned and used his elbow to nudge Wu Li lightly.
"Don't keep humming like a housefly. Come up with some ideas!"
"Aren't you annoying? Can't you listen quietly? "
Wu Li directly retorted.
Xiao Feng was stunned. (What kind of attitude is this?
We are in the same group, right?)
However, Wu Li ignored Xiao Feng. He continued to write at a rapid speed, writing page after page.
"It can't be, right? Are you trying to memorize every word he says? "
Xiao Feng was speechless. "Is there a need for that?"
"You don't understand!"
Wu Li glanced at Xiao Feng and didn't feel like talking to him anymore.
(You basically don't know how precious a public lecture of this standard is. After digesting the knowledge Sun Mo explained, it's enough to save me five years of time and avoid many detours.)
Xiao Feng suddenly understood. So, those hums were just to brush him off. This fellow basically wasn't listening to what he was saying.
Favorable impression points kept appearing in front of Sun Mo's left eye.
"It's a pity that the favorable impression points given by great teachers are the same as that given by students. There won't be any difference based on status!"
Sun Mo sighed.
It was also 10,000 favorable impression points, but they were all contributed by high-star great teachers. The value of these points was extremely high.
...
For the next two days, Sun Mo performed surgeries non-stop, causing the major characters of the manor to feel extremely excited.
Sun Mo's treatment process could be said to be an art.
It was too natural and smooth.
Some of the more scheming ones even started to secretly learn Sun Mo's techniques, trying to unearth the profoundness of the Ancient Dragon Capturing Hands.
Xiao Feng wanted to find a few allies, but everyone agreed readily. However, when it came to surgeries, they were all immersed in it and couldn't extricate themselves.
This was a rare learning opportunity. Only a fool would miss it.
From the fourth day onward, Sun Mo changed his work plan.
Every morning, he would perform surgeries in a good state. After that, he would go to the ancient spirit rune library to learn by himself in the afternoon.
Originally, only a small portion of the high-star great teachers in the manor had the qualifications to borrow books. Now, with Bai Wenzhang's permission, they were all loaned to Sun Mo.
The seventh day!
"No, no matter what, I must give Sun Mo a blast today!"
Xiao Feng decided to act. If he continued to wait, no one would object to this fellow taking over the manor.
"Teacher Sun, why don't I be your assistant today?"
Before the surgery started, Cui Shunen recommended himself.
(Huh?)
Xiao Feng, who had been preparing for a long time, was directly stunned.
(Although you haven't participated in the examination, you are also at the spirit rune ancestor level. Don't you find it embarrassing to be Sun Mo's assistant?)
"I don't find it embarrassing!"
Cui Shunen chuckled. "You don't have to worry, just order me around like an ordinary assistant."
After speaking, Cui Shunen didn't wait for Sun Mo's agreement and stood on Sun Mo's right side.
Yan Sui, who was pushed to the side, had an aggrieved look in his eyes.
(That's my seat, alright?)
This time around, Xiao Feng wouldn't dare to create trouble even if he was beaten to death. Otherwise, Cui Shunen would kill him first.
...
Sun Mo had gained a lot from the 15 days of surgeries.
These were all precious experimental bodies. Since Sun Mo could personally operate on them, regardless of whether he succeeded or not, the accumulated experience was extremely valuable.
If he wrote down the insights he gained from the surgeries, the spirit rune world would go crazy over them.
As for the favorable impression points and respect he gained, they weren't worth mentioning.
After another day of surgeries ended, Bai Wenzhang called out to Sun Mo.
"Can you accompany me for a walk?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Feng felt extremely jealous.
His teacher had never been so gentle toward him before.
After seeing Sun Mo and Bai Wenzhang walking side by side, the major characters immediately started discussing.
"Sun Mo's growth is simply too terrifying."
Cui Shunen sighed in admiration.
"Yeah."
Yan Sui nodded.
Sun Mo's initial surgeries were mainly to treat his body. Unless he was familiar with the spirit runes, he wouldn't rashly repair them. But now, no matter how complicated it was, he had to give it a try.
This indicated that his understanding of spirit runes was getting deeper and deeper.
"He might be on the same level as me soon."
Yan Sui suddenly felt a little disappointed. He felt that he had lived for so many years in vain.
"You must be joking, right?"
Xiao Feng chortled.
Yan Sui glanced at Xiao Feng and turned to leave.
(What's there to talk about with someone who doesn't even have good judgment?)
(You want to inherit the Dragonspirit Manor?
Sorry!)
(I'm the first to disagree.)
...
The forest was deep and the grass was quiet. Soft cries of insects could be heard.
"What do you think of my research topic?"
Bai Wenzhang asked.
Since Yan Sui and Cui Shunen could discover the details, Bai Wenzhang naturally could as well. Hence, he understood that Sun Mo already knew about it and had started to research his research topic.
Sun Mo fell silent.
"It's fine, just be bold and say it!"
Bai Wenzhang encouraged.
"What a very advanced idea!"
Sun Mo deliberated over his words.
"Don't you feel that it's wishful thinking?"
Bai Wenzhang counter-asked.
What was he researching?
It was the automatic recovery of spirit runes, as well as using spirit runes to unleash skills.
"I won't."
Sun Mo mentally mused. Before computers, artificial intelligence, and even steam engines, who would have thought that there would be inventions like cruise ships and airplanes?
In this world, as long as one had imagination, there was nothing impossible.
Bai Wenzhang stared at Sun Mo. When he saw that Sun Mo appeared relaxed and wasn't saying this intentionally to flatter him, he heaved a sigh of relief.
Honestly speaking, even Bai Wenzhang himself would sometimes sink into bewilderment.
It was because these two research topics were simply too unbelievable.
"For spirit runes to automatically recover, I feel that the crux lies in the ink. Can we use some biological dyes?"
Sun Mo suggested.
Why was it that unless cultivators encountered a bottleneck and were unable to grow, they would rarely inscribe spirit runes on their bodies?
Because once a spirit rune was damaged, it would be too difficult to repair it.
Hence, some spirit rune masters wanted to design spirit runes that could automatically recover. However, they failed time and time again. As time passed, no one dared to be stubborn.
"This isn't a bad direction, but it requires too much luck."
Bai Wenzhang sighed. He had tried it before.
"Also, there shouldn't be many biological dyes with such a self-healing characteristic. Hence, the number of spirit runes inscribed with them should be limited."
Different spirit runes would use different dyes, causing the effects to be vastly different.
Sun Mo nodded. This was how the study of materials was. One had to keep on experimenting and try their luck until they found the most suitable one.
"I feel that we should put more effort into the structure of the spirit rune book."
Bai Wenzhang smiled. "Actually, I've seen spirit runes that can self-recover before!"
"Ah?"
This time, it was Sun Mo's turn to be shocked.
"I'll show you later!"
Bai Wenzhang kept Sun Mo in suspense. "What do you think about using spirit runes to replicate skills?"
"Excellent!"
Sun Mo praised.
This concept was to use spirit inscriptions to transcribe every move and style of all the cultivation techniques and ultimate arts.
Using the One Sword Destruction as an example, it was a spirit rune. After it was activated, it could unleash this ultimate skill. After that, this spirit rune could be imprinted on the body of a cultivator.
Even if that person didn't know this sword skill, they could unleash it after activating the spirit rune.
"But it's too difficult."
Sun Mo shook his head.
"That's right!"
Bai Wenzhang sighed. "The troublesome part about wanting to achieve this is that it's too difficult to use spirit runes to manifest the ultimate skill."
It was extremely difficult to create a spirit rune out of thin air. Some spirit rune grandmasters might not even be able to create a brand new spirit rune in their lifetime.
Even an ancestor-level great ancestor like Bai Wenzhang had only created 12 spirit runes in his lifetime, and he had relied on Sudden Inspiration.
This sounded like a lot, but to the millions of cultivation arts out there, it was simply a cup of water on a burning cart of firewood.
Hence, Bai Wenzhang's idea was very beautiful, but the reality was very harsh.
"Teacher Bai, actually, you have entered the wrong path."
Sun Mo smiled.
"Don't call me teacher. You have the qualifications to call me Teacher Bai!"
Bai Wenzhang frowned.
"Alright then!"
Sun Mo shrugged. It didn't matter.
"What wrong path did I enter?"
Bai Wenzhang listened attentively.
"What is the greatest use of ultimate arts?"
Sun Mo counter-asked.
"Killing people?"
Bai Wenzhang didn't even need to think.
It was a lie to say that they could maintain world peace. The earliest purpose of cultivation arts was to kill enemies and prey faster, filling one's stomach and obtaining more battle spoils.
"That's right. Since the ultimate purpose is to kill people, no matter what move you use, as long as you achieve this goal, wouldn't it be fine?"
After Sun Mo spoke, Bai Wenzhang was stunned.
(That's right, this logic is so simple!)
(I actually didn't think of this?)
In truth, this was because Bai Wenzhang's understanding was restricted by the common sense of this era.
In everyone's understanding, the higher the grade of a cultivation art, the more powerful it would be. Hence, everyone pursued even more powerful cultivation arts.
But what did Sun Mo mean?
There was no need for him to transform so many ultimate skills into spirit runes. He only needed to find the most impressive one.
In any case, once he used it, his enemies would die for sure.
After Sun Mo discovered Bai Wenzhang's research direction, his first reaction was to transform all the divine-tier cultivation arts he knew into spirit runes. This way, the Calabash Brothers would be able to use them as well.
But after thinking about it, he discovered that given his talent, he couldn't do it.
After struggling for a few days, he was still confused.
This continued until he discussed with the little sunny egg and mentioned the Myriad Manifestations Spirit Wave Art.
Li Ziqi said, "If I can kill any of my enemies with a single wave, I'll be invincible."
This sentence gave Sun Mo some inspiration.
Because he thought of cannons.
Bluntly speaking, wasn't it just a cannon? The bigger the better.
Hence, all the problems could be summed up in one point. That was to use a spirit rune to unleash a gigantic Myriad Manifestations Spirit Wave Art. Its limit should be enough to destroy a city or even a planet.
"Spirit qi is a type of energy. Any cultivation art is a way to use energy. In that case, wouldn't it be fine if one researched a type of spirit rune and directly used energy? Why must one take the unnecessary step of transforming cultivation arts into spirit runes?"
Sun Mo asked again.
Bai Wenzhang was directly stunned. The spirit pressure from his body surged. Because Sun Mo's words had opened a door to a new world for him.
