Jixia Learning Palace was so famous. Even without Lu Zhiruo's introduction, everyone knew about it.
The most famous building of this supreme school was called the Myriad Saints Academy.
Back then, every great teacher desired to give a lecture here. Gradually, it became a tradition. Therefore, when great teachers became sages, they would definitely come here to give a lecture.
Who was he telling it to?
The wise sages of the past!
If the lecture was done well, the content of the lecture would automatically become an ancient book. Finally, it would turn into a name and be engraved on the wall, never to be damaged.
As a master teacher, who wouldn't desire to leave their name in history?
However, reality was not so simple!
Firstly, to enter the Myriad Saints Academy, one had to pass through the long corridor in front.
On both sides of the corridor, there were a total of eighteen Sage Sculptures of the Myriad Philosophers. If the master teacher who walked past the entrance was lacking in terms of bearing, the gates of the Master Teacher Academy wouldn't open.
In the Nine Prefectures, there were a few great teachers who liked to be unrestrained, wearing rags and tattered clothes to show that they didn't care about their appearance. This was to show that they didn't care about etiquette. In front of the Ten Thousand Saints Academy, it was absolutely forbidden.
If it was light, the door would be shut in his face. If it was heavy, he might even be punished by the great teacher halo of the holy statue.
At this moment, Sun Mo was standing in front of the Myriad Saints Academy. This building looked very ordinary.
It was said that in the beginning, it was just an ordinary school. Later on, it was nurtured by the knowledge, aura, and self-restraint of many Sages, and it became what it was today.
The statues of the Sages on both sides of the corridor looked sacred and dignified. One could not help but want to worship them.
"Teacher Sun, do you want to go in and give a lecture?"
Wei Ziyou, who was accompanying Sun Mo to tour around the school, teased.
"Aren't we supposed to be at least a secondary saint before we're allowed to enter?"
Sun Mo had Mei Ziyu by his side, hence, he wasn't unfamiliar with this school at all.
"The world always favors geniuses!"
Wei Ziyou looked at Sun Mo with admiration. "You can become a special case!"
When the group of Calabash Brothers heard Saint Wei praising Sun Mo like this, they all felt honored.
"Teacher, shall we go in to lecture?"
Lu Zhiruo pleaded.
Pa!
Li Ziqi patted the papaya girl's back lightly, indicating for her not to speak nonsense.
"Ahhh, Senior Sister, why did you hit me?"
Lu Zhiruo felt a little wronged.
"Don't cause trouble. What if it fails?"
The little sunny egg was worried.
"Teacher won't fail!"
Lu Zhiruo spoke in a righteous manner.
The others were speechless. It was better to be safe than sorry. Their teacher's reputation was currently at its peak, and he couldn't afford to fail. There was no need for him to take such a risk.
It wouldn't be too late to come back after obtaining the title of Secondary Sage.
"Good morning, Principal!"
The students who passed by, upon seeing Wei Ziyou, would respectfully bow. After these strangers passed by, they would constantly look back.
"Who is this? He actually let the principal be his guide?"
"So young, he should be the legitimate son of some famous family, right?"
"What are you talking about? Even if the head of an aristocratic family comes, the principal doesn't need to accompany him. Do you think that a saint is a street vendor selling tea eggs on the roadside?"
The students' curiosity was about to explode.
"This is the Reasoning Tower!"
The headmaster stood under a fiery-red maple tree and introduced to Sun Mo a wooden loft that was built near the lake.
It had seven floors. It wasn't big, nor was it majestic. It exuded the aura of a pretty daughter from a humble family in Jiangnan. It was very exquisite.
"Ascending the Hall of Reasoning is to know yourself and live your life. If you can't see yourself clearly, you won't be able to ascend to the top."
Lu Zhiruo revealed.
"From what you're saying, you seem to have ascended that building before?"
Helian Beifang asked.
"Mn, I did once when I was young, but I didn't even go to the first floor."
The papaya girl scratched her head, feeling very embarrassed. From her point of view, this was a sign of stupidity.
"Ascending the Reasoning Tower can let you know yourself clearly. Teacher Sun, do you want to give it a try?"
Wei Ziyou teased, "Even I stopped at the fifth floor. I haven't seen the scenery at the top before!"
"It's fine!"
Sun Mo rejected. In life, stability was still the most important.
The third mysterious building in Jixia Academy was the Heaven-Seeking Book Hall.
This was publicly recognized as the largest library in the Nine Provinces with the most books. There were many unique authentic works here, and all of them were priceless treasures.
"Teacher Sun, you are an expert in both calligraphy and painting. Shouldn't you leave behind a treasure for me to preserve in the Heaven-Seeking Book Hall for future generations to admire?"
Wei Ziyou clasped his hands toward Sun Mo.
"How would my humble work dare to enter the eyes of a saint?"
Sun Mo was humble.
"Prime Minister Zheng is an honest and open-minded person. However, he is a muddle-headed old man when it comes to calligraphy and painting!"
Wei Ziyou sighed. "I sent several letters to him, persuading him to donate your famous painting and place it in the Heaven-Seeking Book Hall. This way, more people would be able to see it, but he rejected."
"This library of yours is open to everyone?"
Sun Mo changed the topic.
"Naturally, all the teachers and students in the school can come here to borrow books!"
Wei Ziyou explained, "However, those unique books are an exception. At the same time, for some valuable books, three great teachers have to jointly vouch for them before they can borrow them."
Sun Mo nodded, indicating that he could understand. But in truth, this rule had already excluded those weaker students as well as students with poor communication skills.
After all, ordinary people would seek good fortune and avoid calamity. They would definitely not vouch for them.
The little sunny egg's lips twitched. (I want to establish the largest library in the Nine Provinces and borrow books using contribution points. This way, weaker students would also have the chance to learn impressive knowledge.)
"In this library, there are two books that are especially strange. One is not allowed to be read, and the other one is not willing to put down no matter who reads it."
Lu Zhiruo revealed again.
"Hehe, this little friend seems to know a lot!"
Wei Ziyou smiled amicably and invited again, "Teacher Sun, do you want to go and take a look at that book that no one is allowed to read?"
Sun Mo shook his head.
(You terrible old man, you must be scheming against me!)
Wei Ziyou was very patient and accompanied Sun Mo to tour the school. They even went to places like the dormitory and storehouse.
"What is he trying to do?"
Xian Yuwei didn't understand. "It feels like he is making funeral arrangements. Could it be that he wants Teacher to inherit the position of headmaster? "
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Li Ziqi covered the mouth of the grassland girl. (My heavens, do you know how terrifying a saint's hearing is?)
Lunch was eaten in the canteen.
"Try this braised carp. How is the taste?"
Wei Ziyou personally picked some food for Sun Mo.
"Delicious!"
Sun Mo smiled.
"Since it's delicious, do you want to keep it? In the future, you'll be able to eat these dishes often! "
Wei Ziyou unhappily glanced at Mei Ziyu. (What kind of granddaughter are you? Hurry up and bewitch him. If Sun Mo stays, our school's future for the next 300 years will be stable.)
"Saint, you must be joking!"
Sun Mo tactfully rejected.
Wei Ziyou also knew that he couldn't be anxious. After mentioning it, he didn't say anything more. Instead, he eagerly picked some food for Sun Mo. After lunch and drinking a cup of tea to aid digestion, he brought Sun Mo to the battle hall.
This was Sun Mo's first day here. If Wei Ziyou asked him to give a lecture, it'd be too impolite. However, Wei Ziyou would feel that it'd be a loss if he didn't use the number one great teacher in the Nine Provinces. Hence, he wanted Sun Mo to go to the battle hall to shine.
Of course, he also wanted to check Sun Mo's quality.
After all, no matter how exaggerated the rumors were, he had to verify it personally before he could be at ease.
If Sun Mo was really outstanding, Wei Ziyou would definitely spare no expense to rope him in.
If one Mei Ziyu wasn't enough, he would add another one.
Jixia Learning Palace was as expected of an old school. Although the battle hall's buildings and some facilities seemed old, they were sufficiently large.
"Those who can enter here to learn are all students ranked in the top 100 of their respective years!"
Wei Ziyou introduced.
The rules here were similar to those in the Central Province Academy. They would have a small competition every ten days and a big competition every quarter. The loser would be eliminated.
Sun Mo entered the great hall and saw seven arenas arranged in a plum blossom pattern. Right now, the one in the middle was filled with people.
Two 16-year-old youths were currently sparring on it.
"The headmaster is here!"
Someone called out. Huala, the teachers and students immediately came over to greet him. Even the battles on the arenas slowed down a little.
"Continue!"
Wei Ziyou indicated. After that, he smiled and asked Sun Mo, "Who do you think will win?"
Swoosh!
The gazes of the students all landed on Sun Mo.
Who was this person?
From the looks of it, his background was very impressive!
"Ziqi, what do you think?"
Sun Mo asked his eldest disciple, his gaze never leaving the arena.
"Ziqi? Could it be that Great Tang's Great Empress? "
Li Ziqi's name was very well-known in the great teacher world. In the past, it was a synonym for trash, but now, it was the symbol of a genius.
Those students who were felt by great teachers to have no potential were all using Li Ziqi's achievements to motivate themselves.
Since this was Li Ziqi, then the handsome guy beside her should be Great Teacher Sun, right?
"Their courage, experience, and sword proficiency are about the same. However, the thick-lipped one will win!"
Li Ziqi gave her answer.
"Why?"
Wei Ziyou asked again.
"Because his sword art is a peerless-grade saint-tier one!"
Li Ziqi wasn't good at cultivation, but after following Sun Mo, she had seen many cultivation arts and knew their advantages and disadvantages.
Wei Ziyou nodded.
As expected, three minutes after Li Ziqi finished her evaluation, the thick-lipped youth defeated his opponent and obtained victory. He was so excited that he couldn't help but let out a loud shout.
He was in the top five of the cohort.
"Mufeng, come over!"
Wei Ziyou spoke.
The thick-lipped youth ran up and leaped. After a series of somersaults, he landed in front of Wei Ziyou with a beautiful kneeling posture. After that, he took the opportunity to greet Wei Ziyou.
"Headmaster!"
"This is Great Teacher Sun Mo. Quickly greet him!"
Wei Ziyou introduced.
"Teacher!"
Bai Mufeng bowed respectfully. He had the temperament of a youth and couldn't control it. He lifted his head and sneaked a glance at Sun Mo.
The others didn't dare to assess Sun Mo openly. They were all sneaking glances at him. After all, his reputation was too great. A 30-year-old 7-star great teacher, this was the first time something like this had happened.
There were many great teachers who went to the Jixia Lecture Hall to give lectures, but they were all old men. It was very rare for them to be below 100 years old. There were no records of a 30-year-old great teacher in the school's history.
"Mufeng, you can't miss this opportunity. If you have any questions, quickly ask him!"
Wei Ziyou teased.
Mufeng's lips twitched. (My family has a long history of learning and my father is a sword saint. Sun Mo is very strong, but what can he teach me?
In terms of sword arts, my father is number one in the world!)
