Noon, campus!
After the melodious sound of the bell rang out, the students finished their classes and walked out of the teaching building, gathering into a stream of people heading toward the canteen.
"Quickly look, there's someone flying in the sky!"
It was unknown who shouted, but the students subconsciously inclined their heads to look at the sky.
Under the blue sky and white clouds, a lady dressed in a black-and-white great teacher robe streaked across the sky, exuding a graceful demeanor.
Countless people were dumbfounded.
"It's Teacher Bai Fu!"
Someone with outstanding eyesight recognized the female great teacher.
BOOM!
The students stopped eating and ran over like children chasing a kite, wanting to find out what was going on.
"Did Teacher Bai comprehend the Rising Sky Steps?"
Someone guessed.
"It shouldn't be, right? This great teacher halo is very difficult! "
"Is there a need to think about it? Teacher Sun must have tattooed the Imperial Sky Spirit Rune on her in order to headhunt her! "
The students were all discussing.
Up until now, there was still no cultivation art that could allow people to fly. Only two great teacher halos could do so.
One was Rising Sky Steps, and the other was Lotus Blossoming Step.
The former was a very obscure halo. Not only did it require a grand and magnificent imagination that wasn't bound by the earth, but it also required extraordinary talent and achievements to be proud of. One had to experience what it meant to ascend to the heavens in a single step.
Only then would one have a chance to comprehend Rising Sky Steps.
The latter was even rarer. It was a heaven-bestowed halo that one would obtain after becoming a saint.
When a saint used Lotus Blossoming Step, they could land anywhere with a single step. The sky, the sea, the canyon, the abyss...
To a saint, the terrain was no longer an obstacle. They could go to any place they wanted to go. At the same time, the lotuses under their feet had a fragrance that could disperse poisonous fog, miasma, cold wind, and scorching heat, allowing the saint to be immune to all evils!
Since ancient times, the sky was an existence that humans couldn't hope to reach. Those who could soar in the sky were all revered. But now, Sun Mo had done it using the spirit rune technique.
When Bai Fu landed on the ground, a group of great teachers immediately surrounded her.
"Teacher Bai, how do you feel?"
"Does it feel good?"
"Isn't the scenery you see from above especially beautiful?"
The great teachers stared at Bai Fu. They were like a child who had just received a new toy and was surrounded by a group of friends, asking all sorts of questions.
Everyone's eyes were filled with envy, curiosity, and shock.
If it wasn't for the fact that Bai Fu was a girl, some great teachers would have wanted her to carry them and fly in the sky.
Bai Fu was silent for a moment. After considering what to say, she opened her mouth.
"This scenery is absolutely beautiful and unforgettable!"
Bai Fu savored the taste and felt as if a clear spring had been poured into her heart, overflowing with sweetness.
"Sun Mo deserves to be called the number one spiritual rune master in Nine Provinces!"
Baifu praised.
Sun Mo knew how to write and draw. He could teach and educate people, and he was also handsome. Although his words were a little unpleasant to hear, it wouldn't be a loss to use him as a man.
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Bai Fu + 10000. Reverence (21000/100000).
"Bai shi's Imperial Space Spirit Rune shouldn't take up a slot, right?"
"Of course. Teacher Sun has already headhunted her away, so she's naturally considered one of his people."
The gazes of the master teachers turned hostile.
"Everyone, I've bled and suffered for the sake of the Black-White College. You must give me one of these ten spots. Otherwise, I'm going to turn hostile!"
"I've been in the Black-White College for 50 years. Even if I haven't contributed much, I've put in a lot of effort. I should be given a slot!"
"Why are you talking so much nonsense? Come and fight, let's see who's stronger! "
These high-ranking great teachers were already in a state of mutual hostility as they conversed. It was as if they were prepared to fight at the slightest disagreement.
They couldn't be blamed for being greedy.
These people were all high-ranking great teachers. Given their social status and wealth, they could basically get whatever they wanted.
Famous courtesans?
They were sick of it!
Delicacies?
They had eaten them all and vomited!
They had even collected quite a lot of secret treasures. However, there were some things that they couldn't get their hands on.
For example, Sun Mo's Imperial Space Spirit Rune!
Everyone was a great teacher and their brains were very good. They instantly understood its tactical value. At the very least, when they encountered danger and couldn't win, the chances of them flying away would be higher.
This was equivalent to saving their lives!
It would be strange if they didn't fight for it.
To speak the truth, 7-star and 8-star great teachers didn't have much prestige before Sun Mo. If they wanted to ask for a spirit rune, they had to be at least a secondary saint to avoid the risk of being rejected.
Sun Mo had underestimated everyone's fanaticism toward flying. In the end, he gave out 30 spirit runes consecutively before he could catch a breather.
However, his gains were also great.
The upper echelon of the Black-White College favored Sun Mo even more. They all expressed their goodwill and took the initiative to suggest that they could go to the Central Province Academy for half a month's worth of exchange lectures every year.
One must know that major characters of this level were usually very busy and didn't lack money. Therefore, many famous schools wouldn't be able to invite them even if they offered a high appearance fee.
It was like an ordinary school being able to invite a batch of researchers to give a few public lectures every year. That level of prestige was definitely unique.
Just by relying on this point, the Central Province Academy's student recruitment season would definitely be very popular in the future. Parents would fight to the death to send their children over.
Humans who were restrained by gravity could suddenly soar freely in the sky. Such a topic would be explosive no matter which era it was.
In just three days, this news spread throughout Liao Capital from the Black-White College and continued to spread to the surrounding cities.
...
Wan Kangcheng had been busy for the entire day. When he returned home, he heard a servant reporting that his father-in-law had been waiting for a long time.
"What is he here for?"
Wan Kangcheng was baffled.
His father-in-law, Wu Pan, was the third richest person in Liao Country. He was usually extremely busy, and when he was with Sun Mo, he would always feel a sense of inferiority, feeling that his knowledge was inferior to Sun Mo's. Therefore, he wouldn't pay a visit unless there was something important.
Moreover, there had been a conflict between the two children recently. Therefore, their parents didn't wish to meet each other.
After Wan Kangcheng washed up, he went to the living room.
Wu Pan's usual cold attitude was gone. His chubby face was filled with an amiable smile. When he saw Wan Kangcheng entering, he stood up to welcome him.
"Father-In-Law, long time no see. How have you been?"
Wu Pan smiled like the Maitreya Buddha, looking very amiable.
"What's wrong with you?"
Wan Kangcheng hated such fake politeness the most. This fellow thought that he was wealthy and was usually very arrogant.
"Sigh, that's why I say that you people in the academic field are very troublesome. You don't understand the ways of the world at all!"
Wu Pan sighed.
"Alright, let's talk business!"
Wan Kangcheng sat down with a gloomy expression. He felt that the other party had come to talk about the children.
If they really couldn't go on, they could just divorce.
"Erm, I heard that Sun Mo is currently in your school. I wish to pay him a visit!"
Wu Pan also knew Wan Kangcheng's bad temper, so he went straight to the point.
"What?"
Wan Kangcheng was pedantic, but he wasn't stupid. When he heard this, he immediately understood. "For the Imperial Space Spirit Rune?"
"Haha, when I was young, I had always longed to go up into the sky and have a look!"
Wu Pan was a little bashful. In fact, apart from experiencing the fun of flying, he also wanted to experience the feeling of being as high as the sky. He hoped that it could bring good luck to his career.
"It's no use looking for me!"
Wan Kangcheng refused.
"Aren't you the acting headmaster of the Black-White College? Sun Mo doesn't even give you this bit of face? "
When Wu Pan heard this, his face darkened. He felt that the other party did not want to help.
"No!"
Wan Kangcheng didn't wish to beg Sun Mo.
"Old Wan, I think you're not giving me face, right?"
Wu Pan coldly snorted. "I don't need you to do anything. You just need to pull some strings and let me meet Sun Mo."
"Hehe!"
Wan Kangcheng mocked, "Why? Are you going to throw money again? "
"Wan Kangcheng, let me tell you. Money can make the world go round. I'm offering 10 million taels. Do you think I can buy the Imperial Space Spirit Rune?"
Wu Pan felt disdain.
From his point of view, as long as he met Sun Mo and threw out a huge sum of money, this matter would be settled.
"Great Teacher Li Feng, you know her, right?"
Wan Kangcheng smiled.
"Yes!"
Wu Pan was a businessman. Regardless of whether these high-ranking great teachers were useful or not, he had to get to know them. "We've had a meal together before!"
"Do you know how much research funding Sun Mo promised to give in order to headhunt her to the Central Province Academy?"
"How much?"
Wan Kangcheng lifted a finger.
"10 million. Tsk, to a 'B' grade famous school, this price is very bold!"
Wu Pan was a little shocked. It seemed that he had to increase the amount.
"Something's not right!"
Wan Kangcheng shook his head.
"What?"
Wu Pan started. "How much is that?"
"Make a guess!"
Wan Kangcheng chuckled. These people always thought that money could solve many problems. They were really shallow.
"A finger is bigger than 10 million. That would be 100 million taels?"
Upon thinking of this amount, Wu Pan hurriedly shook his head. This was absolutely impossible. It was just headhunting a great teacher, and he wasn't even a top-notch one. Why would he give so much?
Could it be that Sun Mo was a wastrel?
But how much was a finger?
"It's 100 million taels. You didn't expect it, right?"
Wan Kangcheng ridiculed.
"Impossible!"
Wu Pan was dumbfounded. "This is an empty promise, right? I don't believe that Sun Mo would give Li Feng so much money! "
"That's why people like you basically don't understand the values of top-notch great teachers. Do you think that 10 million is a huge sum of money? In Sun Mo's eyes, it's just dog fart! "
Wan Kangcheng retorted. "By the way, Sun Mo has headhunted 21 people who received the same treatment as Li Feng!"
"Where did he get so much money from?"
Wu Pan was shocked.
"You should go and ask Sun Mo!"
Wan Kangcheng guessed that Sun Mo must have found an ore vein. After all, if his family didn't have any, who would dare to offer such a sky-high price?
One must know that Sun Mo represented the Central Province Academy. Once he couldn't fulfill his promise, both his and the school's reputation would be ruined.
Wan Kangcheng didn't know that not only did Sun Mo have a mine, but he also had a large stretch of private forest with many rare medicinal plants. Moreover, even if he didn't have these, Sun Mo could sell a few formulas or even go to 'tuina' to raise a lot of money.
Sun Mo himself was a cornucopia.
"..."
Wu Pan's countenance turned grim. How could someone who could throw out 100 million taels, no, 2.1 billion taels, be interested in his little bit of money?
"In-law, I have to remind you to pay attention to your words. Don't call Sun Mo by his name and don't doubt that he can't fulfill his promise. He's someone you can't afford to offend."
Wan Kangcheng picked up his teacup and took a sip.
This meant that he was sending the guest off.
The servant immediately came over and asked Wu Pan to leave.
"Is... is there no other way?"
Wu Pan was reluctant. That was a spirit rune that could allow one to fly. He really wanted it.
