After returning to Jinling, Sun Mo didn't start his lessons and went on a break.
With money, free time, and quite a bit of fame, this was the most relaxing time Sun Mo had since he came to the Nine Provinces. Hence, he decided to take it easy.
"How much money do I have now?"
After breakfast, Sun Mo looked at the money bag that his maid, Dong He, brought over and couldn't help but ask.
Going to the two banks of the Qinhuai River to relax and listen to the songs of famous courtesans would definitely cost a lot of money. This amount of money was probably insufficient.
"Young Master, the account book is managed by the princess."
Dong He reported in a low voice.
As Sun Mo's personal disciple, let alone making Sun Mo's bed, it was also part of Li Ziqi's duty to take care of him when he was old.
Hence, Dong He felt that there was nothing wrong with Xiao He taking care of the treasury.
"Oh!"
Sun Mo turned and went upstairs, preparing to head to the Wind King Divine Hall to ask the little sunny egg about his current savings.
It should be quite a lot, right?
Sun Mo had already opened the six treasure chests he had obtained a few days ago. The lucky charm of the lucky mascot was still present, so his harvest wasn't bad.
The first reward was a peerless-grade Heaven Essence Pill!
After consuming this pill, it could allow a cultivator at the Longevity Realm to directly jump a level.
Sun Mo was now at the peak of the second level of the Longevity Realm. He planned to break through a level first before consuming the pill. Otherwise, it would be a waste.
The second reward was a [God Corpse Hundred Poison Chart].
Recorded in it were some rare, high-end poisons that weren't easy to concoct. They could kill people invisibly.
After Sun Mo learned it, he used Soul Imprint to imprint this knowledge into Li Ziqi and Tantai Yutang's minds. After that, he no longer cared about them.
In any case, Sun Mo wouldn't go and research poisons.
As for why he didn't teach it to others, it was because he didn't want them to be distracted from their studies. After all, other than Li Ziqi, no one could learn it immediately.
Moreover, they weren't interested in the study of poisons.
The third reward was an ancient spiritual incantation.
According to the system's introduction, this incantation came from a mysterious ancient tribe. After chanting it, one could summon a guardian beast of the tribe.
However, Sun Mo didn't try it.
Right now, he was extremely distrustful of the system. In addition, he had summoned the drunken crane previously, causing both sides to be unhappy. Hence, if he could avoid using the spiritual control technique, Sun Mo wouldn't use it.
The fourth reward was a book titled "Basic Knowledge of Archaeology".
The content included the basic operation of archaeology, some excavation methods of ruins and tombs, and some secret summaries.
Sun Mo treated this as a grave robber. After all, he most probably wouldn't have a chance to dig up a grave in this lifetime.
The fifth reward was a skill book called "Artifact Discrimination Chart".
After learning it, one would be able to distinguish and recognize weapons. It was a little like playing a thousand tunes and then understanding the sound, observing a thousand swords and then recognizing weapons.
At the very least, after Sun Mo read it, he would be able to speak logically when facing a sword or saber.
Naturally, at this moment, Sun Mo also possessed the ability to pick up scraps.
For example, there were some famous swords and sabers from the ancient times. Even though they were already rusted and damaged and had lost their practical value, they were still good for collection.
The sixth reward was a Beginner's Introduction to Music Theory, proficiency level.
After Sun Mo learned it, he directly used three 10-year time emblems, raising his proficiency index to the grandmaster-grade. Right now, Sun Mo could already use the zither or the pipa to play some simple tunes.
To be honest, when he came to the Nine Prefectures, his biggest unhappiness was that there was no modern music to listen to.
He didn't even need to think about electronic music or ancient music.
But now, Sun Mo could play all sorts of leg-shaking divine tunes by hugging the pipa. It was just that the taste was a little lacking.
"Should I use the voice-recording stone to record a slaying divine tune? In the future, when I fight, I can arrange for Calabash Brothers to play it at the side. This way, I'll be in an invincible position. "
Sun Mo calculated, preparing to enjoy the sure-win principle of no one being able to defeat him in my background music.
"Teacher, what are you laughing at? It feels a little disgusting! "
Tantai Yutang teased.
"Scram!"
Sun Mo scolded with a smile.
Among the students, other than the sickly invalid, only Qin Yaoguang had the guts to joke with Sun Mo. The others were all obedient.
They were the type that could obtain a bunch of 'Three Good Students' certificates.
"How's your condition recently?"
Sun Mo stretched out his hand and checked the sickly invalid's body.
"Thanks to Teacher, I'm doing very well."
After Tantai Yutang spoke, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Sun Mo.
It was Sun Mo who gave him a chance to continue laughing under the sunlight.
He didn't dare to be sure if he could live for several tens of years, but at the very least, his life had been extended by ten years.
"In that case, you should properly enjoy your life!"
Sun Mo encouraged.
After he devoured the divine remains, his blood had a miraculous effect. After saving Bai Wenzhang, he tried to transfuse his blood to Tantai Yutang. He didn't expect the effect to be so good.
The Calabash Brothers were all working hard, not daring to slack off for even a moment.
In the past, although they admired Li Ziqi's intelligence, she couldn't fight after all. Hence, it was inevitable for everyone to look down on her. This was especially so for Xuanyuan Po, who rarely called her eldest martial sister.
But this time around, Li Ziqi summoned the Wind Queen and stunned everyone.
This was the extreme power of intelligence!
Everyone didn't wish to be left behind by Li Ziqi. Hence, they worked exceptionally hard.
"Teacher, you have come?"
When Li Ziqi saw Sun Mo, she immediately stood up to welcome him.
"Why don't I see Qi Shengjia?"
Sun Mo swept his gaze through the various halls, but he didn't see the honest guy.
"Student Qi seems to be in love!"
Li Ziqi paid a lot of attention to this honest guy who wasn't Sun Mo's disciple but had the chance to cultivate in the Wind King Divine Hall and enjoy the nourishment of spirit qi many times over.
"Huh?"
Sun Mo started.
It wasn't that he was looking down on Qi Shengjia, but this fellow's looks were really bad!
He didn't expect that he would be no longer single?
Damn it!
(Back then when I was in university, I had never been in love before!)
"There's a junior who confessed her love to student Qi!"
Li Ziqi continued to expose, almost angering Sun Mo to death.
"Or is she chasing after him?"
Sun Mo frowned.
He decided to give the honest guy an 'extra meal' and train for three more hours every day.
Li Ziqi noticed Sun Mo's expression and felt a little astonished.
(Are you jealous?)
(But why?)
(Do you know?)
(Right now, you are the dream lover of all the female students in the school. If it wasn't for the fact that teacher-student relationships are taboo, the little sunny egg would dare to guarantee that there would be an even number of female students secretly writing love letters to you every day.)
"Let's not talk about that disappointing fellow."
In the Nine Provinces, there was no legal age for marriage. Hence, there was no such thing as puppy love. Even if Sun Mo wanted to discipline him, he wouldn't have any reason to do so.
"Ziqi, how much money do I have now?"
"Why?"
Li Ziqi blinked.
"Eh!"
Sun Mo was stumped. He couldn't possibly say, 'Give me some money and I'll go to Qinhuai City to watch famous courtesans sing songs,' right?
"Buy a house!"
Sun Mo thought of an excuse.
(Very reasonable!)
(Give me a thumbs up for my intelligence!)
"Ah?"
Li Ziqi didn't understand. "Why do we need to buy a house?"
The Central Province Academy was An Xinhui's private property. In that case, as her fiance, Sun Mo was naturally the owner of this famous school.
The villas here were quiet and secluded, and the layout was comfortable. Sun Mo could change to another one a day!
If he went to the outskirts to relax, there was also a huge royal manor to stay in.
"You don't understand. It's the dream of every man to have a property certificate with his name written on it!"
Sun Mo sighed.
In the modern era, property prices rose rapidly. If a poor person like him didn't rely on his parents, he wouldn't be able to afford it. But now...
(I want to buy a house!)
(Buy a villa!)
"How much is the best villa in the best location in Jinling worth?"
Sun Mo suddenly felt very curious.
"Five million taels of silver. However, you won't be able to buy such a property even if you have money."
Li Ziqi mentally mused. (That's my aunt's house.)
"Over a billion?"
Sun Mo was stunned.
In the Great Tang Empire, silver was more valuable. One tael of silver was equivalent to about 300 RMB. Based on this, the most expensive property would cost over a billion?
(Wait a minute, this price doesn't seem to be that expensive when compared to the courtyard houses in the imperial capital?)
However, not being qualified to buy it was the most depressing thing.
"Teacher, if you want to buy a house, I can get someone to help you inquire about it."
Li Ziqi decided to think of a way to find the best house for her teacher.
Things like land were just so precious. First come, first served. Unless those wealthy merchants committed crimes and had their houses confiscated, they would only be able to vacate it.
However, to be able to accumulate such a massive amount of wealth, their hands and feet were basically not clean. As long as they were willing to investigate, they would definitely be able to find out.
Sigh!
(For the sake of my teacher, don't blame me for being ruthless!)
(Just blame me for needing your luxurious houses!)
"There's no need to go through so much trouble. Let's just go and look at the houses directly!"
Sun Mo was struck by a sudden impulse. He wondered if there were any salesgirls in Jinling who wore professional attire. He was filled with anticipation. "Oh right, how much money do I have exactly?"
"Not counting the odd bits, it's 3,120,000!"
As the little butler, Li Ziqi was very familiar with Sun Mo's wealth.
"Ah? 1 billion? "
Sun Mo was agitated. It was said that the most beautiful skinny horse in Yangzhou was only worth a few thousand taels of silver. How many could I buy with my money?
Pui! Pui!
(I'm a great teacher, how can my thoughts be so dirty?)
(But I really want it!)
(After all, it's legal!)
"Your earliest huge amount of income came from the loot you obtained from the Daoist temple after you eliminated Daoist White Bird. There was also the 'gift money' that Old Zheng sent over after he raided Prince Li's house. However, a portion of it was used as salary to subsidize the school and those farmers who depended on the school to make a living."
Li Ziqi introduced, "After the giant medicine packet and spring water beauty medicine packet were sold, the share of their profits gradually became the majority of your income."
"After all this, I actually relied on selling medicine packets and making money from the dead to get rich?"
Sun Mo was astonished.
(Isn't my status as a 4-star great teacher a little too lousy?)
(Where's the promised generous treatment?)
(Even 4-star great teachers from other clans eat meat. Why is it that when it comes to me, I eat vegetables?)
"Your fame has increased tremendously. In addition, the school has been upgraded to the 'B' grade. There will definitely be many more students coming to apply for the school this year. Among them, those wealthy merchants should contribute a huge sum of money to the school fees."
Li Ziqi explained.
Regardless of whether it was the children of the poor or the wealthy, the school fees they had to pay were the same. However, if the children of some wealthy clans couldn't get into the Central Province Academy, they could fork out money to attend the school.
Before this, the Central Province Academy was about to be delisted. Hence, they naturally wouldn't be able to receive this sum of money. However, things were different this year. Just based on Sun Mo's identity as a saint candidate and the number one spirit rune master in the Nine Provinces, he would be able to attract many new students.
"Aiya, let's not think so much. Let's go and buy a house!"
Sun Mo's heroic spirit reached the clouds.
(I'm a billionaire. Wouldn't buying a house worth tens of millions be a trifle?)
