Ding!
"Congratulations, you've obtained the platinum edition of the 《Hundred Works Manual》."
"Note: This book records a hundred kinds of bizarre, rare, and miraculous refining techniques that have appeared since ancient times."
"Warning, although this Hundred Works Manual records some smithing processes, please don't try it recklessly. If not, terrifying consequences will arise."
Upon hearing this, Sun Mo was unhappy.
"Then what's the use of this? Is it just to broaden my horizons and use it when I'm bragging? "
Wasn't knowledge that couldn't be converted into cash just useless knowledge?
"Humans, especially great teachers, can you not be so vulgar?"
The system spoke in disdain.
"This 《Hundred Works Manual》 of yours should be some unorthodox methods or smithing techniques that can't be replicated since the birth of the study of smithing, right?"
Sun Mo analyzed.
In the past, he had learned the 《Hundred Works Manual》. In it, there were human sacrifices, curses, natural tempering, and other smithing techniques. It looked more like metaphysics, and the success rate depended on whether the heavens were kind or not.
"You can understand it that way!"
The system approved of Sun Mo's judgment.
"Forget it, let's open the next chest!"
Sun Mo couldn't be bothered to argue about such a topic.
The last treasure chest was opened. As the seven-colored light shone, a book shrouded in black mist quietly floated in the air.
Ding!
"Congratulations, you've obtained 《Gu Techniques: A First Glimpse at Origins》. Proficiency level: elementary-grade!"
"Note: After learning this book, you will have a comprehensive and detailed understanding of gu techniques. Although you still won't be able to use Gu worms, your defense will increase by quite a bit."
Yue Country was located at the southernmost part of the Nine Provinces. It was hot and humid all year round, with miasma everywhere.
Such a terrifying environment would naturally breed all sorts of poisonous insects. The local Nanyue people had gone through thousands of years of research and invented countless killing methods that used curses and insects.
In the Nine Provinces, people who were proficient in such killing methods were known as Gu Masters.
Because Nanyue's geographical location was far away, in addition to the fact that there were only a few tribes, they were very xenophobic. The methods to nurture and control Gu worms were never leaked. Therefore, even though there were many famous schools in the Nine Provinces, there were very few famous schools that offered Gu Master courses.
Moreover, even if it was opened, it would only cover some superficial knowledge and would not touch on the core.
The Myriad Spirits Academy's comprehensive strength wasn't qualified to be ranked among the Nine Greats. However, a thousand years ago, the people of Nanyue had gone to the north to cause trouble. They used gu worms, poisonous grass, curses, and secret medicines to wreak havoc in the Central Plains. In the end, in order to prevent the people from suffering, the Saint Gate specially granted the Myriad Spirits Academy the title of a supreme-grade academy.
In reality, even now, the people of the Central Plains still looked down on the people of Nanyue and were filled with prejudice towards the teachers and students of the Myriad Spirits Academy.
It was said that there were a few tribes in Nanyue that had a secret art that allowed them to control corpses to do battle. They were called corpse drivers.
Just thinking about it sent shivers down his spine.
Fortunately, the South Yue people did not have any ambitions towards the north. They closed their doors and unified themselves, concentrating on researching Gu insects, poisons, puppets, and so on.
After Sun Mo learned it, all sorts of strange-looking bugs appeared in his mind, as well as various breeding methods.
This made him shiver subconsciously.
It was a little disgusting!
There was no solution to it. Sun Mo was most afraid of insects with many legs like centipedes and centipedes. At the thought of so many legs crawling on his skin and leaving behind a large amount of mucus, he wouldn't be able to eat a single mouthful of food for three days.
…
On the school campus, on the way to the canteen!
"Quickly look, that girl is so beautiful!"
"There's such a beautiful girl in our school? I'm an old man who has seen countless girls, how could I not know? Could it be that my eyes have gone blind without me knowing? "
"What are you guys looking at? That's my wife! "
Not only did the guys turn their heads, but even the girls couldn't help but look over. After that, they were all stunned by Zhang Guoping's face.
Such a beautiful girl should have long become famous in the school, right?
"What should I do?"
Zhang Guoping felt uneasy.
She didn't listen to a single word in the morning class because there were people sneaking glances at her. This made her feel very uneasy and extremely nervous.
"You don't know how lucky you are!"
Tang Qian enjoyed such attention very much.
Her foundation wasn't bad to begin with, and after Sun Mo slightly adjusted some of the details on her face, she would definitely be able to reach the standard of a 7.
A beauty of this level would have a very high rate of people turning their heads to look at her.
"If you don't want it, you can get Teacher Sun to fix it for you!"
Tang Qian teased.
"No!"
Zhang Guoping shook her head. Everyone had a love for beauty, but she had never heard of anyone wanting to fix something ugly!
"In order to celebrate us being reborn, we must have a good meal today!"
Tang Qian recalled that her best friend might be transferring schools. Hence, she bought a big pile of food and treated her to a big meal as a farewell.
The two girls hid in a corner of the canteen and chatted.
Very soon, the corner that was usually empty was filled with students. This was especially so for the guys. They were eating while glancing at each other.
"A bunch of stinky men!"
Tang Qian flicked her hair, but she was cheering happily in her heart.
(Long live Teacher Sun!)
(In my next life, I'll definitely be your helper and repay your grace of rebirth!)
"Quickly eat!"
Tang Qian urged. After that, she saw Zhang Guoping suddenly stiffening. She followed her best friend's gaze and discovered that He Zhen was also carrying a plate over.
"Do you want to express your feelings to him?"
Tang Qian felt happy for her good friend. "This time around, he most likely won't reject you."
Zhang Guoping fell silent.
"He Zhen's major is the study of spirit runes, so he would definitely want to learn from Teacher Sun. Given Teacher Sun's admiration for you, if you go and beg him, he should be able to bring He Zhen to the Central Province Academy!"
Tang Qian teased. "At that time, the two of you would be able to fly together."
Zhang Guoping shook her head and started to eat quietly. She didn't even have the mood to chat. She didn't expect He Zhen to be such a shallow person.
It was just a pair of skin, was he so irresistible?
If it was in the past, Zhang Guoping's heart would surely race when He Zhen sneaked a peek at her. But now, she felt that she really loved him to death.
"Your requirement for He Zhen's character is too high."
Tang Qian was speechless. "All the men in the world shouldn't be able to do it!"
"Teacher Sun will definitely be able to do it!"
Zhang Guoping thought of the scholarly, easygoing, and handsome Sun Mo. She felt admiration in her heart.
"..."
Tang Qian wanted to say, 'Look at the beauties around Sun Mo. Mei Ziyu, Murong Mingyue, Jin Mujie, Gu Xiuxun. Each of them has their own merits and is extremely beautiful. Even two of his female disciples would be able to beat us up!'
When he went out, the great teacher circle he brought along was made up of beauties of different ages.
(For such a person, would you believe me if I said he wasn't an old fox?)
(Sigh, I really want to join Teacher's great teacher circle!)
(Even if I have to carry the toilet bowl for Teacher every day, I'm willing.)
"The man I find in the future must at least have 60% of Teacher Sun's handsomeness, 20% of wisdom, 10% of gentleness, and 10% of easygoing!"
Tang Qian's yearning caused her to contribute another wave of favorable impression points to Sun Mo.
Zhang Guoping quietly ate her meal.
Because of this plastic surgery incident, she saw what love was like clearly. Hence, she spent more time and energy on her studies, building a solid foundation. In the future, she would become a Medical Saint that could be ranked in the top five in the Central Province Academy's history.
Zhang Guoping's medical skills might not be the best, but she was definitely the most benevolent. In her eyes, all patients were treated the same, regardless of their status, wealth, or poverty!
...
Song Clan, dining room!
"Why is Headmaster Song treating us to a meal?"
Gu Xiuxun looked at the simple decorations in the surroundings and felt a little uneasy. The main point was that Headmaster Song didn't invite Sun Mo, but the others were invited instead.
"It's definitely a Hongmen Banquet!"
Before Lu Zhiruo finished speaking, Li Ziqi covered her mouth.
"Be careful with your words!"
The little sunny egg was about to be scared to death. (Can you not speak nonsense?) "Do you know how terrifying the hearing ability of a saint is? If you scold him in the northern part of the city, he would be able to hear it even if he stayed in the southern part of the city! "
"It's not that exaggerated. Saints can't be insulted because they have the halo of saints. I'm just saying a sentence, and I don't mean any disrespect in my heart."
Lu Zhiruo explained, "Moreover, he is already a saint and wouldn't vent his anger on others because of such a small slander. The breadth of mind of saints are all very big."
"I don't know if the breadth of mind of a saint is big or not, but I know that after you become a saint, your breadth of mind will definitely be very big!"
Li Ziqi glanced at the papaya girl's chest, yearning for the day when she became a saint. She wanted to have a 'broad breadth of mind' as well!
The tea was coarse, the rice was plain, and the place where they were eating was a dining hall.
However, An Xinhui and the others didn't feel that they were being slighted. On the contrary, they felt a little overwhelmed by the favor. After all, the standard of a banquet didn't depend on how good the food was or how luxurious the place was. Rather, it depended on how respectable the status of the guests were.
Even if it was in a pavilion by the river, drinking with a saint over a plate of beef and a beggar's chicken, it would still be a good story.
"Sorry, I'm late!"
Headmaster Song was very amiable. He apologized the moment he entered.
An Xinhui and the others hurriedly stood up, saying that they didn't dare to.
After everyone was seated, Headmaster Song offered a cup of tea to everyone. Because everyone here was a girl, he didn't drink any wine. After that, he went straight to the point.
"I've done some investigations. If it wasn't for Sun Mo, your school would have been demoted and delisted long ago. Although your current momentum isn't bad and you managed to avoid being demoted at the end of last year, I'm not optimistic about your future."
When An Xinhui heard this, she felt a little unhappy, but she had no way to retort. It was because everything in the school was brought about by Sun Mo.
"It would be a waste of Sun Mo's talent if he were to stay in your school. Headmaster An, I hope that you can part with him and let him work in the Black-White Academy!"
Headmaster Song truly admired Sun Mo and wanted to entrust the school's future to him.
"Headmaster Song, even if our school isn't doing well now, our ancestors were once wealthy. Moreover, Sister Xinhui has already let go and let Sun Mo take full responsibility for the school's matters. He can build the school into his ideal state. May I ask if your school can do that?"
As the number one henchman and supporter of An Xinhui, Gu Xiuxun placed her interests first and wasn't afraid of offending a saint.
For example, Jin Mujie wouldn't say such things.
As for Mei Ziyu and Murong Mingyue, to put it bluntly, they didn't have any feelings for the Central Province Academy. They stayed because of Sun Mo.
Wherever Sun Mo went, they would go!
Similarly, Li Ziqi and Lu Zhiruo were the same.
