"The host has discovered the essence of the Spirit-Gathering Rune. The host's grasp of this spirit rune has improved once again, reaching the ancestor-level. Reward: 1x black-iron treasure chest. Please continue to work hard and reach the ancestor-level as soon as possible."
The content of the system's words shocked Sun Mo.
"What did you say? Say it again! "
Sun Mo pricked up his ears and listened seriously. That's right, the system did say 'ancestor-level'.
What did this term mean? It meant that Sun Mo was only a step away from becoming an ancestor-level cultivator!
"You aren't joking with me, right?"
Sun Mo's expression was a little filled with disbelief.
What was an ancestor-level cultivator?
It was someone who had extraordinary achievements in a certain domain and had the qualifications to establish their own sect. There were only two or three people who could be mentioned in the same breath as them.
"The system wouldn't joke around!"
After the system said that, it paused for a moment before adding, "An ancestor-level cultivator is someone who stands at the peak of a certain domain and almost no one can compare to them."
"You mean that my Spirit-Gathering Rune Drawing Technique is already unparalleled?"
Sun Mo laughed in self-mockery.
"Yes, it's a step away from the ancestor-level. However, your ranking has already risen. What you need to do next is to continuously draw Spirit-Gathering Runes and reach the ancestor-level."
The system explained.
"Why?"
Sun Mo didn't understand. Up until now, he had only drawn tens of Spirit-Gathering Runes. Was he already at the ancestor-level?
"Because you have completely understood the essence of this spirit rune, your proficiency level has naturally risen."
The system was very patient and once again became a caring big sister. "It's like how some students would just focus on the questions and not use their brains. Even if they did a hundred questions, they would still have to start from the beginning when they encounter similar questions in the future. However, a minority of students would seriously summarize their answers and find the rules. They would then know how to approach when they encounter similar questions in the future."
"You mean that I understand why 1 + 1 is equal to 2?"
After thinking about it earlier, Sun Mo did understand the essence of the Spirit-Gathering Rune.
For a Spirit-Gathering Rune to be successfully drawn, the most important thing was to form a spirit qi cycle. The crux of this cycle was divided into two steps.
The first step was to have a core spirit rune that could gather spirit qi. The second step was to set up a spirit rune that had an amplification effect to increase the gathering ability of this core spirit rune.
Sun Mo completely dissected the spirit gathering runes. After knowing the use of each spirit rune, he knew which ones were important and couldn't be changed, and which ones were secondary and could be changed.
The core structure of the spirit rune couldn't be moved. It had to avoid the veins on the leaf to prevent spiritual energy from entering and interfering with it.
The auxiliary structure of the core spirit rune could be moved, and it could even be connected to the veins of the leaves, using the spirit qi gushing from the plant itself to form a cycle.
The spiritual energy in the plant itself was no different from the spiritual energy in the air. As long as it was supplied, it would be fine.
As for the spirit runes that had an amplification effect, even if spirit qi gushed in, its effect wouldn't be weakened. Therefore, this structure could be drawn casually. It didn't matter if it was drawn according to the original appearance of the Spirit-Gathering Rune.
Therefore, if one wanted to successfully draw a Spirit-Gathering Rune on a plant, the key was to choose the right location for the core structure of the Spirit-Gathering Rune.
To Sun Mo who possessed Divine Sight, a leaf was like a beautiful woman who had taken off all her clothes. He could see everything with a single glance. Hence, it wasn't too easy to choose a spot!
"Yes!"
The system sighed ruefully. It didn't expect that Sun Mo would have such outstanding talent in the study of spirit runes.
In such a short period of time, Sun Mo understood the design concept of the spirit rune master who designed this Spirit-Gathering Rune.
It was like building a tank. Sun Mo wasn't simply assembling it by looking at the blueprint. He had reached the stage where he could design a tank by himself.
It could be said that Sun Mo was optimizing and extending this Spirit-Gathering Rune, allowing it to be more applicable.
Sun Mo lifted his brush, dipped it in ink, chose a piece of green leaf, and started to draw.
This time around, his speed was much faster. Moreover, he wasn't drawing according to the original appearance of the Spirit-Gathering Rune. Instead, he was drawing according to the design concept he understood.
15 minutes later, the Spirit-Gathering Rune was completed.
Boom!
The piece of green leaf trembled, and a spirit qi tornado the size of an apple appeared on it.
Sun Mo smiled.
This tornado meant that the grade of the Spirit-Gathering Rune was at least level 4 or 5. However, what made him the happiest was that this successful drawing also proved that his understanding of the Spirit-Gathering Rune wasn't wrong.
"Awesome!"
Sun Mo clicked his tongue. He felt even more confident for the Spirit-Gathering Rune lesson in the afternoon. In his excitement, he started to draw the Spirit-Gathering Rune continuously.
At the start, Sun Mo even specially chose a leaf. But towards the end, he couldn't be bothered to choose and just started drawing. He even specially found a damaged piece of green leaf to draw.
Time passed by quickly.
When Sun Mo regained his senses and it was time to go to class, he discovered that he had already drawn over ten Spirit-Gathering Runes here.
"It seems that I'm a little bored?"
Sun Mo patted the dust off his body, packed his things, and went to the teaching building. "System, what's the ranking of my Spirit-Gathering Rune Drawing Technique now?"
"In the Central Province Academy, it's tied for first place. In Jinling City, it's tied for second place. In the entire Central Province, it's ranked seventh."
The system replied.
"So low?"
Sun Mo frowned. "No matter what, I'm a quasi-ancestor!"
"When you remove the word 'quasi-ancestor' from your title, no one will be able to match up to you. However, I have a good impression of you."
It was rare for the system to praise Sun Mo.
"What about the ranking for those under 30 years old?"
Sun Mo knew that many of these people were major characters who had immersed themselves in the study of spirit runes for tens of years.
"In the Central Province Academy, first place. In Jinling City, first place. In the Central Province, they're tied for first place!"
The system replied. Three first places.
"There's actually a quasi-ancestor?"
Sun Mo was shocked.
"In this world, there's no lack of geniuses!"
The system explained.
"Mn!"
Sun Mo retracted his earlier complacency. If his proficiency index wasn't at the 'grandmaster-grade', he wouldn't be able to decipher this Spirit-Gathering Rune.
One could say that he was standing on the shoulders of giants and had completed this sublimation!
When Sun Mo was able to decipher a spirit rune by himself, he would be an indisputable ancestor.
...
After Lu Changhe woke up from his afternoon nap, he washed his face and hurried to the teaching building.
This afternoon, there was Sun Mo's spirit rune class.
Because his family owned a spirit rune supply store, Lu Changhe was influenced by what he saw and was very fond of the study of spirit runes. Now, it had been close to ten years.
When new teachers taught a subject, they would basically start from the basics and advance step by step.
By doing this, there was a huge disadvantage. The higher-year students would have already heard the basic content and could only be taught to new students.
However, why would new students want to listen to a new teacher's class? They could clearly choose to teach those teachers who had several years of teaching experience.
New teachers knew this disadvantage, but they had no solution to it. If they chose to teach mid-tier and higher-tier content, they would surely lose the new students. If the teaching effect wasn't good and they couldn't even attract the attention of the higher-year students, they would basically be a complete failure.
In any case, when a new teacher started to teach, the pressure from the competition was too great. If they didn't have a trump card, the school would very quickly cut off their classes.
One must know that in any school, the school would have a minimum number of students attending each teacher's class. If they couldn't reach the minimum number, their classes would be cut off.
Lu Changhe wasn't too optimistic about Sun Mo's prospects. He estimated that it would already be the maximum number of students attending his class.
When he arrived at room 209, Lu Changhe wasn't in a hurry to enter. Instead, he stretched his head out to take a look. Tsk, how miserable. There was less than 15 minutes left before 6, but only five students had arrived!
If it wasn't for the fact that he had seen the spirit gathering rune drawn by Sun Mo in the shop, as well as his father's exhortation for him to attend Sun Mo's class, Lu Changhe would have wanted to leave now.
"Father might have mistaken me for someone else."
Lu Changhe speculated. After entering the classroom, he found a seat and sat down. When he inclined his head and glanced at the blackboard, he was stunned.
"Teacher Sun Mo's spirit rune class has been changed to 201. Everyone, please pass this message to each other!"
The graceful handwriting exuded a sense of sharpness.
Usually, Lu Changhe would definitely shout out 'beautiful'. But now, his mind was filled with question marks. 201? That was a classroom that could hold a hundred people. Did the school make a mistake?
As a higher-year student, Lu Changhe had attended the first classes of many new teachers. Honestly speaking, there were always 20 to 30 people in each class.
Let alone a 100-seater classroom, even a 50-seater classroom wouldn't be used.
With a head full of puzzlement, Lu Changhe rushed to 201. When he looked inside, there were actually over 30 people here. Given the standard of a new teacher, the number of people here was a little too much!
"The class is about to start, don't stand at the entrance!"
Suddenly hearing a voice drifting over from behind, Lu Changhe hurriedly walked forward. When he turned his head, he saw a young man wearing a sky-blue teacher robe walking in.
He was very young and had distinct features on his face. There was a faint smile on his face, causing people to have a good impression of him.
"Teacher!"
Li Ziqi and the others who had arrived earlier stood up to greet him.
"If you aren't interested in the study of spirit runes, just go and attend another teacher's class. There's no need for you to accompany me here!"
Sun Mo waved his hands.
After hearing this, Xuanyuan Po directly stood up and left with his spear sack. Tantai Yutang shrugged and left as well.
Jiang Leng hesitated a little. He bowed to Sun Mo and then left.
"These three fellows!"
Li Ziqi gritted her teeth. (Teacher was only being polite, but you guys actually treated it as real!)
Clearly, the number of people attending the class was already so few, yet you guys didn't stay behind to make up for the numbers? How preposterous.
Dang! Dang! Dang!
The bell signaling the start of the class rang out.
Sun Mo didn't waste any time. After the bell ended, he spoke his opening speech. "I'm Sun Mo. From today onward, I will be teaching spirit runes lessons for everyone."
There were a total of three reasons why the class in the morning was filled to the brim.
Firstly, this was a new subject and everyone had never heard of it before. They were curious. Secondly, they were interested in Sun Mo's God Hands. Thirdly, they were interested in An Xinhui's fiance and wanted to see what he looked like.
The study of spirit runes was considered a popular subject, second only to alchemy and weaponsmithing. Hence, there were many teachers teaching this class.
There were too many choices for students to choose from. Hence, there was no meaning for them to come and listen to Sun Mo's class.
Almost two-thirds of the thirty-plus people in the classroom had impure motives. They weren't here to listen to Sun Mo's class. Rather, they wanted to consult him on some questions regarding cultivation after the class ended.
"For today's class, we will be drawing spirit gathering runes!"
Sun Mo could guess the thoughts of these students. Hence, he didn't waste any words and directly took out his brush, ink, and paper, starting to draw spirit gathering runes.
Strength would prove everything in the end!
