With Bai Wenzhang in the lead, the major characters escorted Sun Mo out of the operation room.
"What the hell?"
The middle-aged man was stunned. This Sun Mo, was he really so strong?
(Everyone here is a major character from the upper echelons of the Dragonspirit Manor. You guys are surrounding Sun Mo with smiles on your faces, acting so amicably.
"Brother Bai, how is it?"
The Undying Old Man turned his wheelchair and came over.
"The experiment was very successful!"
Bai Wenzhang was very happy.
"Dean, why don't you lie down on the stretcher?"
Sun Mo persuaded.
"It's fine!"
As long as Bai Wenzhang could persist, he wouldn't lie down.
"What's wrong with you?"
The Undying Old Man immediately observed Bai Wenzhang. As expected, he discovered that his qi and blood were much weaker.
"Being able to see the experiment being completed, even if I die, it's worth it."
Bai Wenzhang laughed.
"..."
The Undying Old Man felt depressed. (If you die, what should I do?)
"Today is a good day. Pass down the instructions to hold a banquet and celebrate for three days."
After Bai Wenzhang spoke, he wanted to laugh again. However, his body swayed and he almost fell down again. Luckily, Sun Mo was quick and supported him.
"Dean, you have to rest more."
Sun Mo inspected Bai Wenzhang's body and frowned. Why was his vitality declining so quickly?
"What about our master's surgery?"
The middle-aged man questioned.
"You have seen my current appearance. Do you dare to let me perform the surgery?"
Bai Wenzhang looked at the Undying Old Man and spoke in a self-mocking tone.
"Do I have a choice?"
The Undying Old Man was unhappy.
During these 50 years, he had received a total of three surgeries, and all of them were performed by Bai Wenzhang. If it wasn't for his eternal spirit runes, he would have long since been bedridden.
"Yes, let him do it for you."
Bai Wenzhang was talking about Sun Mo.
"Dean Bai, are you joking? If something happens to our master, everyone in your manor will have to be buried together with him. "
The middle-aged man threatened.
"Scram, immediately!"
Bai Wenzhang's expression also turned gloomy.
The middle-aged man was unmoved.
"Scram!"
Bai Wenzhang roared. A powerful spirit pressure gushed forth from his body like a tsunami.
"Brother Bai, calm down!"
As the Undying Old Man spoke, one of the middle-aged man's arms was cut off. Bright red blood sprayed everywhere.
"I will use one of his arms to apologize to you!"
The Undying Old Man squeezed out a smile and surveyed Sun Mo. "I wonder how is this little friend's standard?"
"If it wasn't for him, the experiment just now would have failed."
After Bai Wenzhang spoke, he walked away, no longer bothering with the Undying Old Man. "You should be able to see the condition of my body. If you want to die on the operating table, I don't mind."
"Master, this fellow is too arrogant!"
The middle-aged man vented his anger on Bai Wenzhang.
"Shut up!"
The Undying Old Man sank into deep thought.
As an old man who was afraid of death, he truly didn't wish to place his life in the hands of a young man in his twenties. But just like what Bai Wenzhang had said, he had no other choice.
"Go, collect all the information about that guy!"
The Undying Old Man ordered.
…
Bai Wenzhang's room, other than being bigger and having more books, was no different from an ordinary person's room.
After Sun Mo finished his inspection and was about to leave, he was stopped by Bai Wenzhang.
"Teacher Sun, wait!"
Xiao Feng stopped when he saw this.
"Get out!"
Bai Wenzhang urged.
Xiao Feng felt so sullen that he wanted to die. (Who is your personal disciple exactly?
What are you guys whispering to each other that I can't hear?)
After Xiao Feng left, Bai Wenzhang said, "That old man sitting in the wheelchair is one of the five doyens of Dark Dawn. His nickname is the Undying Old Man.
"His body has already been damaged tens of years ago. If it wasn't for me using everlasting spirit runes to strengthen his body, he would have long since been unable to move. This time around, he came to look for me because he wants me to repair his damaged spirit runes.
"Sun Mo, I've decided to leave this job to you!"
After Bai Wenzhang spoke, he observed Sun Mo's expression. After noticing that Sun Mo didn't have any disgusted emotions, he heaved a sigh of relief.
To these young people, the Saint Gate's education was deeply ingrained in them. Hence, they would feel enmity toward Dark Dawn from the bottom of their hearts.
"You want him to owe me a favor?"
Sun Mo counter-asked.
"The Undying Old Man doesn't care about favors. He only cares about benefits."
Bai Wenzhang sighed. "Also, for things like favors, what if the other party is an ungrateful fellow? Hence, I believe in strength more.
"As long as you can repair the spirit runes on the Undying Old Man's body, he will have to protect you. At the very least, before he dies, you will have another protective talisman."
The only troublesome thing was that the Undying Old Man's identity might bring bad publicity to Sun Mo, and people might slander him for colluding with Dark Dawn.
"I don't really care about selling favors or not. But if there's a chance to operate on a major character, I would still want to try it."
Sun Mo didn't mind.
"Alright!"
Bai Wenzhang nodded. "Don't worry, at that time, I will be your assistant. The operation will definitely not fail."
"Many thanks, Dean."
Sun Mo felt grateful.
"The remaining problem is my disciples. They've always viewed this manor as their property, and they've been vying with each other very fiercely. When I'm alive, you'll be fine, but once I'm dead, I'm afraid you'll …"
Bai Wenzhang was worried.
"Dean, what is the greatest wealth of this manor?"
Sun Mo smiled and asked.
"The accumulated knowledge and achievements over the years, as well as the talents who are proficient in spirit runes."
Bai Wenzhang's words hit the mark.
"That's right. So, why don't you give me the knowledge and let me headhunt some talents back to the Central Province Academy?"
Sun Mo suggested.
Bai Wenzhang frowned. "But if we do that, the manor's strength would be divided."
"Dean, to put it bluntly, once you die, there would be no major character guarding the manor. Do you think that this manor would be attacked?"
Sun Mo was only at the Longevity Realm. He didn't feel that he would be able to defend against the plunder of those powerful enemies.
"I also have some methods."
Bai Wenzhang spoke proudly.
"I also don't wish to see you two teacher and disciple falling out with each other. How about this? I will bring away all the ancient books and spirit runes in the treasury. After that, I will also bring away those who are willing to return to the Central Province Academy with me."
In the manor, the books in the library on the surface were priceless as well. But when compared to the ones in the underground treasury, they weren't even worth mentioning.
Moreover, given Sun Mo and Li Ziqi's intelligence, they would memorize those books after reading them a few times. There wasn't much meaning in bringing them away.
However, it was impossible for Sun Mo to decipher even one-thousandth of them in this lifetime. Hence, he had to get the real books.
"Even if I agree, you won't be able to bring them away."
Bai Wenzhang persuaded.
As long as these books left the manor, they would immediately be robbed.
"Dean, it's time to tell you a heaven-shocking secret."
Sun Mo smiled confidently. "I have an eight-gate cloud!"
"What?"
Bai Wenzhang blinked.
"You didn't hear wrongly. It's an eight-gate cloud. It's ranked # 10 on the Darkness Species Ranking."
Sun Mo explained, "I can construct a teleportation gate and directly transport the books back to the Central Province Academy!"
In truth, Sun Mo wanted to place these books in the Wind King Divine Hall because the security of the Central Province Academy wasn't strong enough to protect them.
"You can even obtain such a rare species? What dog-shit luck do you have? "
Bai Wenzhang felt envious.
"Since that's the case, you can do whatever you want with those books! However, I have a request. "
"Dean, please speak!"
Sun Mo listened attentively.
"You must definitely expand the map of the study of spirit runes and pave more paths for the later generations. I hope that you won't be selfish. If you discover a good seedling, don't care about their identity. Even if they are from the dark side, please do your best to nurture them."
Bai Wenzhang pleaded.
"Mn!"
Sun Mo solemnly nodded.
At this moment, Sun Mo could be considered to have inherited the most important part of the Dragonspirit Manor's wealth.
...
After returning to the dorm, Sun Mo called the Calabash Brothers over.
"Where's Zhiruo?"
Xuanyuan Po wasn't around. He must have gone to cultivate. What was going on with the papaya girl?
"Senior Zhiruo is solving the second world riddle."
Xianyu Wei reported.
"Mn!"
Sun Mo didn't wait for Lu Zhiruo and brought his disciples underground.
When she saw those books, Qin Yaoguang's eyes brightened.
"These are all priceless treasures!"
"That's right. With them, our Central Province Academy's study of spirit runes will definitely be number one in the Nine Provinces!"
Helian Beifang was overjoyed. He wanted to touch them but was worried that he might dirty them.
"It's not important whether we have these books or not. As long as Teacher is around, our school will definitely stand at the peak of the Nine Provinces."
Xianyu Wei was also Sun Mo's little fangirl.
"Stop talking nonsense. Quickly move them to the Wind King Divine Hall."
After Sun Mo constructed the teleportation gate, he started to urge them.
"Ah?"
The Calabash Brothers were stunned. Wasn't it enough to take a look? They still wanted to move them away?
"Teacher..."
Helian Beifang mentally mused. (Even if Bai Wenzhang admires you a lot, you can't do this. What's the difference between this and running to someone's ancestral grave?
If you're discovered, you'll surely die.)
"Bai Wenzhang has already passed these books to me."
Sun Mo casually explained, "Hurry up!"
"Why?"
Tantai Yutang didn't understand and almost asked, "Are you his illegitimate son? If not, why would he be so wasteful? What's the difference between this and him giving a stranger a fortune worth billions? "
"Because he wants me to be the next headmaster of the Dragonspirit Manor."
After Sun Mo spoke, a commotion broke out.
The Calabash Brothers were shocked. Their teacher was actually so outstanding that Bai Wenzhang chose him as his successor?
"In the future, the study of spirit runes will be the signature subject of our Central Province Academy."
Li Ziqi was very happy.
Since Bai Wenzhang was willing to pass these precious books to Sun Mo, it meant that all the research results of the manor would be passed to Sun Mo as well.
This was the accumulation of an unknown number of years. Now, all of it had become the wealth of the Central Province Academy.
Naturally, the prerequisite was that the Central Province Academy could digest them first.
"Although the study of spirit runes isn't comparable to alchemy and weaponsmithing, it's still one of the top five popular subjects."
Ying Baiwu's eyes gleamed. "We're rich!"
Li Ziqi mentally mused that when the Spirit Wave Cannon was introduced and self-recovery spirit runes shocked the world, spirit runes would become one of the three major subjects that were on par with alchemy and weaponsmithing.
Because at that time, spirit runes would already possess the ability to change the world.
Just when Sun Mo and the ants were moving, Lu Zhiruo encountered a huge problem.
