After Li Ziqi settled the administrative matters, she saw that the sky wasn't completely dark yet. Hence, she used the teleportation gate set up by the eight-gate cloud and returned to the Central Province Academy.
This teleportation gate was set up in the little sunny egg's bedroom. One could freely enter the Wind King Divine Hall and Sun Mo's villa in the school through it.
In the campus, it was early evening. Some students had just finished their classes and were discussing the content of their new studies while heading to the cafeteria to eat. There were also some who were heading to the classroom for their evening classes.
No one was slacking off or chatting. The learning atmosphere was very strong.
Li Ziqi first went to the headmaster's office to pay her respects to An Xinhui.
"Mistress, have you heard from Master recently?"
The little sunny egg blinked her eyes. This was her main target.
"Sun Mo dotes on you so much. Even if he doesn't send me a letter, he would send it to you!"
An Xinhui teased.
"Have some tea, Mistress!"
Li Ziqi giggled. After that, she frowned. "Teacher is so loathsome. He has already left for a year, yet he didn't even send a single letter. He didn't even tell me that he is safe and sound, causing me to worry for nothing."
"Maybe it's inconvenient?"
An Xinhui explained, "I've inquired about it. The warden of the Impassable Prison once had a conflict with the Saint Gate. Also, the great teachers on duty there can be considered to have been banished. Hence, Sun Mo's life there shouldn't be too good."
When Li Ziqi heard this, she felt even more worried.
"I will get someone to continue probing for news about Sun Mo."
An Xinhui consoled, "You don't have to worry. Sun Mo still has Little Silver. If he's in a dangerous situation, he'll surely escape back."
"En!"
Li Ziqi nodded, but she didn't think so in her heart. Given her teacher's temper, he wouldn't be a deserter. He would either conquer or die.
Sigh!
I hope everything goes well for Teacher.
Li Ziqi chatted with An Xinhui for a while and then left the Headmaster Office, heading to the darkness illusion dojo.
Xuanyuan Po was a cultivation maniac. He stayed here and challenged all kinds of illusions every day.
Li Ziqi tried to persuade him to attend some classes so that he wouldn't be mocked by others for having shallow knowledge. However, she was rejected.
"My goal is to be the number one Spear Saint in the Nine Regions. The others are nothing to me!"
Xuanyuan Po didn't care about other people's opinions. He didn't even care about the quality of his three meals a day as long as he could fill his stomach.
Li Ziqi was helpless, but she still seriously explained the essence of some cultivation arts to Xuanyuan Po.
Her teacher was no longer around. As the eldest disciple, the little sunny egg naturally had to shoulder the heavy responsibility of guiding her junior martial siblings. Moreover, she did have this capability.
Before Sun Mo left, he used Soul Imprint to transmit all the knowledge he learned into Li Ziqi's mind.
With regards to these cultivation arts, although Li Ziqi had beaten them up badly, it didn't hinder her from understanding them. She was just like Xiao Longnu from the demi-gods and semi-devils.
Fifth floor of the darkness illusion dojo.
"Baiwu!"
Li Ziqi wasn't surprised to see the iron-headed girl here as well.
She was also a cultivation maniac, but she wasn't as crazy as the combat addict. Ying Baiwu would still attend some classes and was especially interested in weaponsmithing.
Because she felt that weapons were her best friends.
That's right, the iron-headed girl didn't have any friends. Even with her fellow disciples, she rarely interacted with them. Other than cultivating, she only cared about learning.
"Eldest Senior Sister!"
After Ying Baiwu greeted them, she continued to spar with a darkness illusion.
As for the combat addict, he was very focused and didn't notice Li Ziqi's arrival.
After watching for a while, Li Ziqi left and went to the library.
Helian Beifang and Lu Zhiruo were quietly studying. Helian Beifang's goal was to become a war god, hence, he read more books on the art of war. As for Lu Zhiruo, she read everything.
"Zhiruo is reading too many things!"
Jiang Leng's voice suddenly rang out from the side. "She won't be able to improve like this."
"She doesn't even know what she likes. Hence, it's not bad for her to read books on various subjects."
Li Ziqi smiled. "Don't worry, she's still young. She has plenty of opportunities to try and make mistakes."
"Che, you're becoming more and more like a great teacher."
Jiang Leng was envious.
"Many thanks for the praise!"
Li Ziqi turned and surveyed Jiang Leng. "How is it? You haven't comprehended the self-taught skill yet? "
At the mention of this, Jiang Leng's expression dimmed as he shook his head.
"Don't be anxious, you'll definitely be able to do it!"
Li Ziqi consoled. She knew that her junior martial brother had the thought of becoming a great teacher recently, but the halo of the self-taught skill wasn't something that could be comprehended just because he wanted to. "Wait for Teacher to return!"
"Mn!"
Jiang Leng nodded. He knew that his fellow disciples were enlightened because of Teacher Yaoguang's guidance. "Oh ya, if you meet Junior Martial Sister Yaoguang, you have to give her a good lecture. Recently, she has been running around everywhere and isn't working hard in her studies."
"Alright!"
Li Ziqi frowned. Among her fellow disciples, although Qin Yaoguang was usually cheerful and liked to get close to others, this girl was the most cautious and had never integrated into the group.
After Teacher Sun left, Qin Yaoguang was like a sheep that had been released. She didn't go home all day.
Tantai Yutang was easy to find. He was in the medical laboratory.
When Li Ziqi saw him, she subconsciously covered her nose. "How many days has it been since you last bathed?"
(It's already smelly, alright?)
"Is something the matter?"
The sickly invalid's hands didn't stop moving. He was dissecting a spirit beast and observing its bodily reactions after being poisoned.
Seeing Tantai's appearance, Li Ziqi shook her head. "Take good care of yourself. If there's anything you need, just tell me!"
"I'm doing very well now."
The sickly invalid chortled. "I just lack some corpses, human corpses."
"That definitely won't do!"
Li Ziqi warned, "Don't act recklessly. Otherwise, I'll clean up the sect."
Although there were medicine testers in the Nine Provinces, people who sold themselves for money, Li Ziqi didn't allow the sickly invalid to dissect human corpses.
"You guys are the stumbling blocks for the advancement of human medicine!"
Tantai Yutang shrugged.
Li Ziqi cared more about ethics and morals.
After exiting the laboratory, the little sunny egg stood on the campus and took in a few deep breaths.
The night breeze brushed past her face, bringing with it a sense of coolness.
Speaking of which, her fellow disciples were all eccentric. On the contrary, Xianyu Wei was the most like an ordinary student. She ate, studied, played, and didn't delay anything.
(Sigh, I wonder when Teacher will be back!)
(I miss you so much!)
...
Ji Han had been in seclusion for nine months. When he came out, it wasn't that his mental state had been tempered. Rather, he had to step out and be in charge of some matters in the prison.
Recently, other than work, he had a new hobby, and that was to solve the second great mystery. He would go over to take a look every day because he was worried that after Sun Mo woke up, he would solve it as well. If that happened, the people in the prison would surely lose a lot of face.
Today, Ji Han continued to work hard, but it was a pity that he had no results.
"I have no clue at all!"
Ji Han was so worried that he pulled out his hair. He should just give up. As for Sun Mo, he had succeeded once by chance. He couldn't possibly solve this mystery as well, right?
Ji Han consoled himself and prepared to go to a restaurant on the surface to order two dishes and a cup of wine to relax. However, before he could leave the first floor, the spirit qi here suddenly gushed forth like a tsunami.
"Who is it that broke through?"
Ji Han was very experienced and immediately determined that someone was trying to break through. After that, he followed the direction of the surge of spirit qi and rushed over.
Some jailers had already arrived in advance.
"Great Teacher Sun is finally going to wake up!"
"Look at the amount of spirit qi being absorbed. No matter what, it must be something done by someone at the Longevity Realm!"
"I have to be convinced!"
Although Sun Mo had entered seclusion on the first day he came to the prison, his name was already known to everyone here.
He had solved the mystery left behind by Saint White and obtained the inheritance. This was something that countless people were envious of.
"Don't be noisy!"
Ji Han reprimanded.
Although he didn't like Sun Mo, he wouldn't plot against him. For example, the noise might disturb Sun Mo's breakthrough.
Rumble! Rumble!
The spirit qi gushed forth, causing the metal door of the prison to tremble slightly.
"It has been five minutes and he still hasn't stopped!"
Ji Han was envious.
Everyone knew that when breaking through, the more spirit qi one absorbed, the better their talent would be. Based on Sun Mo's current stance, he was invincible among those of the same level.
Finally, nine minutes later, Sun Mo stopped and calmed the spirit qi in his body. He then opened his eyes.
"Teacher Sun, congratulations!"
Pang Tong and Wu You rushed over after hearing the commotion. They clasped their hands and congratulated him.
"Thank you!"
Sun Mo smiled.
During this one year, he hadn't stopped for a single moment, working hard to digest the knowledge. Occasionally, when he was tired, he would meditate to relieve his mental fatigue and pressure. He didn't expect that he would reach the critical point of breaking through.
"Teacher Sun, may I ask what realm are you at now?"
Wu You was curious.
"Fifth level of the Longevity Realm!"
Sun Mo was at the third level of the Longevity Realm previously. When he went to participate in the Five Countries Mock Battle, he consumed a Heaven Essence Pill to be safe and rose by one level.
He didn't expect that after a year, he would rise again.
This was the credit of the saint's inheritance. Although a large portion of the energy had dissipated, the information flow that contained the knowledge itself was a type of extremely pure energy. After Sun Mo absorbed it, he naturally leveled up.
"Si, fifth level?"
Everyone was shocked.
Based on Sun Mo's current age, he would have an additional 600 years of lifespan.
With such a long period of time, how much could he achieve?
Envy!
"Great Teacher Ji, can we go to the surface now? I want to soak in a bath and have a meal! "
Sun Mo smiled and asked.
After a year of meditation, his mental state had improved by quite a bit. He didn't wish to be angry with Ji Han.
"Sure!"
It was originally impossible, but Ji Han wanted to make an exception today.
This was a form of respect toward a genius great teacher.
"Many thanks!"
Sun Mo clasped his hands.
"Wait a minute!"
Pang Tong called out, "Teacher Sun, since you've woken up, why don't you solve the second riddle?"
When Ji Han heard this, he frowned and glared at Pang Tong.
(What do you think our three great riddles are?
Do you think we can solve them just like that?)
It was unknown why, but Ji Han suddenly felt a little nervous. Hence, he sneaked a glance at Sun Mo, hoping that Sun Mo wouldn't agree.
"Let's take a bath first!"
Sun Mo rejected. "Also, by logic, I should pay a visit to the prison warden first!"
Hearing this, Ji Han nodded in satisfaction.
(This guy can be considered polite.)
Actually, Su Taiqing was the one who told Sun Mo about this. He wanted Sun Mo to leave a good impression on Hu Xingjiang after he came to the prison. In the end, Sun Mo entered a meditative state on the first day and was delayed until now.
After coming to the surface, Sun Mo ordered a few side dishes to accompany his meal with the sunset.
"Here, this is for you!"
Ji Han put down a jar of wine and sat down. "Teacher Sun, listen to my advice and go back. This isn't a place you should be in!"
