With regards to preventing scams, Sun Mo had an understanding. That was to never touch a pie that was delivered to him.
As an ordinary person, Sun Mo felt that his luck was only average. Even if there was money on the ground, it wouldn't be his turn to pick it up. Hence, when he saw this book, his first reaction was to retreat.
He assessed it with a suspicious gaze.
Swoosh!
The divine book flew forward again, getting closer to Sun Mo.
"What the hell?"
Sun Mo frowned.
"Great Teacher Sun, does it mean for you to flip it open?"
The administrator guessed.
The divine book immediately floated up and down a few times.
"Look, it's nodding!"
The administrator exclaimed in shock. This was too magical. "Great Teacher Sun, I've worked in the library for 20 years, but I've never seen it take the initiative to ask someone to flip through it."
The administrator's tone was filled with shock and surprise, and his face was filled with envy.
Sun Mo was unmoved.
The divine book couldn't wait any longer. It started to circle around Sun Mo and even rubbed against his arm.
"..."
Sun Mo was speechless. (Where's your integrity?
Why are you behaving like a pug?
In the past, you were cold and aloof like a goddess who would give 10 out of 10 points. You were disdainful toward bootlickers who kept asking about your well-being. Why did your attitude change so drastically now? You're like a pregnant green tea that's in a hurry to find someone to take over your plate?)
The students were stunned as well.
This divine book claimed that no one could flip through it. There were rumors saying that this book looked down on those who flipped through it, feeling that they weren't qualified. But now, it was begging Sun Mo to flip through it.
"How outstanding must Teacher Sun be?"
Everyone was indescribably shocked.
"Jixia's lecture has already ended, but you guys are still wondering how amazing Teacher Sun is?"
The administrator was astonished. "A 30-year-old 8-star great teacher. Ever since the great teacher occupation existed, he's the first one to do so!"
"Sorry, I'm not in the mood to read books now!"
Sun Mo rejected. After that, he walked around the divine book and headed upstairs.
(Yesterday, you looked down on me, but today, you're not worthy of reaching up to me!)
(That would be strange!)
The main reason was that Sun Mo was worried that he would fall into a trap.
Although he had conquered another divine book, he still felt a lingering fear when he thought about it now. If the wife in the illusion wasn't Jin Mujie but An Xinhui instead, Sun Mo definitely wouldn't have discovered anything.
"But how did the illusion know that I like big ones?"
Sun Mo felt a little awkward. It was like someone had seen a hole in his sock. However, after thinking about it, there shouldn't be anyone who didn't like a big hole, right?
Patter!
The Divine Book was stunned. Then, with a thud, it fell to the ground. Then, it rubbed against the ground and moved up the stairs inch by inch.
(If Sun Mo doesn't look at me, what's the point of me being a scholar?)
He might as well just die!
Sun Mo stood before the bookshelf and picked up the divine book again. Probably because he had already cleared the illusion, nothing happened this time around.
On the pages of the book, there were some strange patterns, and they were drawn with pigments that contained a huge amount of spiritual energy. Even now, one could feel the spiritual energy fluctuations in them.
"Interesting!"
Sun Mo's curiosity was piqued. However, before he could focus on his research, a loud explosion rang out in the sky above Jixia Learning Palace.
"What happened?"
Everyone rushed out of the library and looked in the direction of the explosion.
"It's the Elixir Refining Area. Some alchemist must have carelessly blown up his furnace, right?"
"This explosion looks very destructive!"
"Let's go and take a look quickly!"
The students rushed over as fast as they could. This was especially so for those who studied medicine. They wanted to do what they could to help.
Sun Mo executed his movement technique and shot over like lightning. A shadow involuntarily appeared in his heart.
"It couldn't be that Aunt Mei's alchemy room exploded, right?"
The Jixia Learning Palace's Elixir Refining Area was very vast. There were independent courtyards for teachers and public alchemy rooms for students.
At this moment, in a courtyard on the west side, more than half of the roof was broken. Many bottles and jars were scattered all over the place.
In the process of alchemy, the risk of accidents happening was very high. After many years of accumulation, Jixia Learning Palace had a complete set of countermeasures.
At the instant they heard the explosion, the guards were mobilized. They first sealed off the scene to prevent anyone from stealing the precious alchemy techniques from here.
There were professionals in the guards who would assess the scene. After ascertaining that there was no secondary danger, they would let the medical team in.
When Sun Mo rushed over, this place had already been sealed off.
"It's Teacher Mei's alchemy room!"
Many teachers and students who were spectating felt very worried, hoping that nothing would happen to her.
Mei Yazhi was a quasi-ancestor-level adept and the proudest disciple of Alchemy Saint Wei Ziyou. She was known as the leading figure in the alchemy field in the next era.
If Mei Yazhi died or was crippled, not only would it be a great loss for Jixia Learning Palace, but it would also be a regret that the alchemy world wouldn't be able to make up for.
"What I'm afraid of really comes true!"
Sun Mo's heart tightened and he went up to negotiate with the guards.
"What are you doing? Quickly retreat! "
The guard berated.
"I'm Sun Mo. I want to go in and help!"
Sun Mo explained.
The guard hesitated. There were rules from the higher-ups that when an accident happened in the Elixir Refining Area, outsiders were forbidden from entering. However, this Sun Mo was very famous. He shouldn't steal the alchemy techniques, right?
Before the guard could make a decision, Wei Ziyou's anxious voice rang out.
"Sun Mo, come in!"
Swoosh!
Sun Mo darted into the alchemy room.
A strong smell of medicine assailed his nostrils.
The medicine racks were toppled, and many jars were broken. Liquid flowed everywhere, and there were pills rolling all over the place.
"Aunt Mei!"
Sun Mo saw Mei Yazhi. She was sitting before the furnace and was forcing herself to hold on, trying to salvage the situation.
A large part of her great teacher robe had been blasted apart, and her body was covered in fresh blood. Her skin was lacerated, and one could even see her white bones on her left rib.
"Can it be treated?"
Wei Ziyou transmitted his voice and asked Sun Mo.
"It can be treated, but you have to get her to stop quickly!"
Sun Mo grew anxious. She was already in such a state, so why was she still concocting pills?
Wei Ziyou smiled bitterly.
When he sensed the explosion, he had teleported over using the Earth Shrinking Technique.
Failure in alchemy was a very common thing.
Moreover, this was a peerless-grade saint-tier alchemy pill like the Heaven and Earth Soul Returning Pill. The difficulty of concocting it was off the charts.
Mei Yazhi was also a confident and proud girl. When she saw a flaw, if she didn't forcefully mend it and directly gave up, there wouldn't be such a big mess.
Even if she forcefully mended it and a problem occurred again, Mei Yazhi would be able to escape. At most, she would suffer light injuries. However, in order to protect her personal disciple, she acted as a meat shield for them and was heavily injured.
After being heavily injured, Mei Yazhi's arrogance was stimulated. She swallowed a peak-grade Dragon Vein Pill and hung on to her life. After that, she continued to concoct pills.
"Aunt Mei, if you die, your future will be gone."
Sun Mo persuaded.
Mei Yazhi ignored Sun Mo and focused all her attention on the situation in the furnace.
"Don't persuade me anymore, it's useless!"
Wei Ziyou sighed. "To alchemists like us, every time we concoct pills, it's a battle. Once we fail, it means that we've lost. There's no chance for us to win again."
Sun Mo started, understanding the meaning in Wei Ziyou's words.
It was just like how it was impossible for there to be two identical leaves in the world. Every furnace of alchemy pills was a brand new enemy. Even if the medicinal ingredients were the same, the furnace was the same, and the duration and mental state were the same, the alchemy pills would be different.
"Mother!"
Mei Ziyu was crying like a pear blossom in the rain. She rushed in from outside and when she saw Mei Yazhi's miserable state, her heart ached so much that she almost fainted.
"Why are you crying? I'm not dead yet! "
Mei Yazhi berated, "Scram!"
"Mother!"
Mei Ziyu's body trembled and she almost couldn't stand stably. Sun Mo had to support her.
"Aunt Mei, why do you have to do this for a furnace of alchemy pills?"
Sun Mo persuaded.
Although the medicinal ingredients were very expensive, given Mei Yazhi's background, they could totally afford such a loss.
"Buddha fights for an incense stick, humans fight for a breath of pride. As alchemists, we should advance bravely, not fearing death!"
Mei Yazhi coldly glanced at the furnace, her gaze like a blade. "The more the situation is like this, the more we mustn't retreat. If the pill fails, we'll die!"
When she said the last six words, Mei Yazhi's aura was like a general who was preparing to lead a defeated army and charge toward the enemy country's army of a million soldiers.
She was unafraid of death and had a strong battle intent.
BOOM!
Priceless Advice was activated. Amidst the splattering light, Mei Ziyu's crying face could be seen. She knew that either the divine pill succeeded or her mother would die.
Wei Ziyou, who knew his disciple's temperament very well, let out a deep sigh and walked to the furnace. "I'll be your assistant!"
Given his skills and experience, he could help Mei Yazhi save a lot of energy.
"I'll have to trouble Teacher!"
Mei Yazhi nodded and then looked at Sun Mo. "Sun Mo, bring Ziyu out. Also, please take care of her from now on."
(Can you not leave any last words?)
Sun Mo didn't leave. Instead, he got closer to Mei Yazhi and treated her wounds. At the same time, he activated Divine Sight to observe her.
"You're relying on alchemy pills to extend your life now, but alchemy requires a tremendous amount of spirit qi. You definitely won't be able to sustain it. Therefore, I suggest that you immediately undergo a spirit rune surgery."
Sun Mo quickly introduced, "This set of spirit runes can not only stimulate your life potential but also automatically heal your injuries. Even when you're meditating, you can also absorb spirit qi from heaven and earth."
Wei Ziyou and Mei Yazhi were both high-star great teachers and had a lot of knowledge. However, when they heard Sun Mo's introduction, their brows twitched.
There were such mystical spirit runes?
"Naturally, this set of spirit runes is something I modified based on Dean Bai's research results. I haven't tested it on humans yet, so there might be flaws!"
When Sun Mo researched the language of spirit runes, he would also touch upon the topic of 'self-recovery of spirit runes'. Moreover, Bai Wenzhang had given so much of his effort to Sun Mo. Therefore, Sun Mo was actually more proficient in the field of spirit runes.
It was just that due to morals and ethics, Sun Mo wouldn't conduct such experiments.
However, he couldn't care about that now. Given Mei Yazhi's condition, even if she managed to survive this, her vitality would be greatly damaged. She wouldn't be able to advance any further in her cultivation base.
"It's fine even if it's a forbidden technique. It's just that I can't be distracted when I'm in the midst of alchemy!"
Mei Yazhi furrowed her brows, feeling a little worried. Alchemy was a meticulous job. One had to constantly control the temperature of the furnace, add medicinal ingredients, etc.
As long as Sun Mo interfered with her operation, she might be finished.
"Don't worry, you definitely won't be able to detect my operation!"
Sun Mo revealed a confident smile.
(I don't dare to say this about other subjects, but in the field of spirit runes, I'm the daddy!)
