Jade Blood Loyal Heart?
When these words came out of Mei Ziyu's mouth, all the great teachers present were stunned. Their gazes were filled with shock, astonishment, and doubt when they looked at Mei Yazhi.
How old was she?
To think that she had comprehended such a profound realm?
The Jade Blood Loyal Heart was said to be a talent bestowed by the heavens to the most hardworking, luckiest, and most talented alchemists.
Everyone knew that alchemists were most afraid of all sorts of unexpected situations. If they didn't handle it in time, the alchemy pill would be wasted.
The Jade Blood Loyal Heart was a mysterious state of mind. When alchemists activated it, they would have a premonition when an unexpected accident occurred during the alchemy.
At the same time, under this state, the alchemist would have many inspirations and come up with many wonderful ideas.
There were many famous peerless-grade saint-tier alchemy pills in the alchemy world. They were all invented by alchemists under the Jade Blood Loyal Heart state.
It could be said that after Mei Yazhi comprehended the Jade Blood Loyal Heart, she would definitely leave behind a good name in the history of alchemy. It was almost certain that she would become an Alchemy Saint.
Those great teachers who specialized in alchemy looked at Mei Yazhi with eyes filled with uncontrollable envy and jealousy.
This was the Jade Blood Loyal Heart, a realm that they didn't even dare to dream of. But very soon, they suppressed their emotions.
Mei Yazhi was a candidate for the headmaster. Now that she had comprehended this realm, there was no doubt that she would become the headmaster of Jixia Learning Palace.
Moreover, even if she couldn't become the headmaster, she would still have the title of an Alchemy Saint. This was enough to make them feel reverence.
The other great teachers didn't have so many complicated thoughts. They were only left with excitement. Mei Yazhi was beautiful and had a good personality. She was very popular in the learning palace. Even if students asked her for alchemy pills, they would basically succeed.
There was no need to say much about the great teachers. As long as they thickened their skin and asked for an alchemy pill, there would definitely be no problem.
"Grandmaster Mei, congratulations!"
After everyone reacted, they congratulated her.
Mei Yazhi seemed to not have heard it and looked at her hands in a daze. A few minutes later, she came back to her senses. But this time around, she didn't cry tears of joy. Instead, she smiled faintly and bowed deeply to Sun Mo.
"Teacher Sun, thank you for your spirit rune. It helped me comprehend the Jade Blood Loyal Heart state!"
Mei Yazhi's words were sincere. The content of her words caused the surrounding great teachers' gazes to shine.
"Say, if I were to draw a forbidden spirit rune, would I be able to comprehend it?"
The hope of a master teacher.
"You are not an alchemist, how can you comprehend the Emerald Blood Loyal Heart!"
"It's like you can stab someone to death without a spearhead. Who says spiritual tattooists can't have an epiphany?"
"Is that the same thing?"
The great teachers were making a ruckus. Before this, there were some high-ranking great teachers with a cautious personality who didn't want to take the risk of inscribing forbidden spirit runes. But after seeing Mei Yazhi's situation, they couldn't hold it in anymore.
Even if he wasn't an apothecary, he was prepared to make one.
"Aunt Mei, you're too kind!"
Sun Mo hurriedly dodged, not daring to claim credit.
"Take it. This is the last time anyway."
Mei Yazhi was half-serious and half-teasing. "In the future, after you marry Ziyu, you will be the one kowtowing to me every day."
Huo!
Everyone jeered, saying that they were a match made in heaven. Naturally, it would be even better if Sun Mo could stay in Jixia Learning Palace.
"Mother!"
Mei Ziyu felt a little shy. Her face was flushed red.
"Aunt Mei!"
Sun Mo smiled bitterly and could only feign ignorance.
Mei Ziyu liked him and had waited for him for close to ten years. It wasn't like he didn't know this. However, he still had a fiancée in the Central Province Academy. He really didn't know what to do.
Although the Nine Provinces had a system of polygamy, these women were all heavenly geniuses. They most probably wouldn't allow two women to serve one husband.
"Silly child!"
Mei Yazhi rubbed her daughter's head.
Sun Mo's fame was too great, so great that even Mei Yazhi, the clan leader of a great teacher clan, the vice headmaster of Jixia Learning Palace, and a quasi-ancestor-level ancestor, didn't dare to bring up the matter of marriage. If she was rejected, things would be too awkward.
However, things were different now. Sun Mo had concocted a divine pill, ascended to the great ancestor-level, and comprehended the Jade Blood Pill Heart. He would definitely be able to become an Alchemy Saint. This gave Mei Yazhi the confidence of a mother-in-law to 'teach' Sun Mo a lesson.
(You are a man and aren't afraid of waiting. If my daughter drags on, she would become an old maid.)
"Wow, forcing a marriage in public!"
In the crowd, Qin Yaoguang teased.
The people in front were all high-ranking great teachers, and even the weakest one was a 7-star great teacher. Hence, the Calabash Brothers didn't dare to act rashly and could only wait outside.
"Don't talk nonsense!"
Li Ziqi used her elbow to nudge Qin Yaoguang. For some reason, she felt a little upset in her heart.
"I don't want Teacher to marry a wife!"
Lu Zhiruo said like she was throwing a tantrum. Only then did she realize that her words weren't right. She hurriedly lowered her head and used the tip of her shoe to draw circles on the ground.
Mei Yazhi took out a sandalwood box and stored the precious Heaven and Earth Soul Returning Pill inside. After that, she passed it to Sun Mo. "Take it!"
"How can this be?"
Sun Mo didn't dare to accept it. Although he wanted it, this thing was too valuable. It was because it was a divine pill and there was only one of it in the world. It was impossible to concoct a second one.
"Take it and save the old headmaster!"
Mei Yazhi was very understanding. "Moreover, without you, there wouldn't be this pill."
Sun Mo felt conflicted.
Mei Yazhi chuckled and stuffed the box into Sun Mo's hands. "If you feel apologetic, you can come to Jixia Learning Palace more often."
"This suggestion isn't bad!"
"I agree!"
"You might as well just stay here!"
The great teachers joked, and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious. Everyone looked at Sun Mo as if they were looking at their own son-in-law.
However, those great teachers who liked Mei Ziyu were suffering. They understood that they wouldn't have a chance anymore.
"Everyone, let's disperse. Yazhi is tired and needs to rest!"
Wei Ziyou spoke.
Just when everyone was preparing to disperse, a series of exclamations rang out from outside.
"Quickly look, there's a book flying!"
"Why is the divine book here?"
"Could it be that it's looking for Teacher Mei?"
Amidst these exclamations, a book cut across the sky and shot over. In the end, it stopped in the air above the alchemy room that had a large hole in its roof.
All the great teachers raised their heads. Amidst their astonished expressions, a thought flashed through their minds. This book should be looking for Sun Mo, right?
As expected, at the next instant, the divine book that was kept in the Heaven-Seeking Book Hall was like a tired bird returning to its nest. It flew to Sun Mo's side and then circled around him.
It was like a pug that had seen its master and was waiting at the entrance after work.
The corners of Sun Mo's lips twitched a little. He didn't want to look at this book anymore.
(Since you're so passionate, could it be that you have something to ask of me?)
"Saint, Aunt Mei, seniors, I still have something to do and will take my leave first!"
Sun Mo clasped his hands and then activated the Sky Spirit Rune, flying away.
(I can't afford to offend you, but I can hide!)
Patter!
The divine book that was rejected once again suffered a heavy blow. It fell to the ground and then started rolling around like a child whose mother didn't want to buy a toy for him.
"This... could it be that he's throwing a tantrum?"
All the major characters who had seen a lot of things couldn't help but exchange mutual glances.
...
After Sun Mo returned to the Mei Clan's manor, he entered his bedroom and called Little Silver over to construct a teleportation gate, rushing to the Central Province Academy.
"Go and inform An Xinhui to gather at the old headmaster's courtyard."
Sun Mo summoned the scarab and instructed it. After that, he went to the old headmaster's private library. There was an ice cave built below the library, and the old headmaster's unconscious body was stored inside.
"Sun Mo, why do you suddenly want to meet grandpa?"
An Xinhui rushed over and looked at Sun Mo in puzzlement.
"Mei Yazhi refined the Heaven and Earth Soul Returning Pill and gave it to me."
Sun Mo spoke concisely.
The door of the ice cave could only be opened with An Xinhui's key. This was also to prevent others from harming the old headmaster.
"That's great!"
An Xinhui cried tears of joy and impatiently opened the door.
A gush of cold air gushed over.
Even with Sun Mo's strong body, he couldn't help but shiver.
On a 1,000-year-old ice bed that emitted a dark-white glow, the old headmaster lay quietly. His figure was extremely skinny, to the point that he was just skin and bones.
"I wonder if it can save grandpa?"
An Xinhui was worried.
If her grandpa didn't wake up soon, he wouldn't be able to hold on for more than a few years.
"It's definitely possible!"
Sun Mo passed the pill box to An Xinhui. "Why don't you feed him the pill?"
"Alright!"
An Xinhui took it. When she opened the box, she froze again.
The Heaven and Earth Soul Returning Pill that had 'Saturn's Ring' was incomparably beautiful. Even ordinary people would know that this was a peak-grade pill.
When the medicinal smell permeated the air and An Xinhui smelled it, her soul felt like a kitchen stove that was covered in dust and oil had been completely cleaned. That feeling of comfort made one want to cry out involuntarily.
"This is a divine pill?"
An Xinhui frowned. She was an alchemist and naturally knew about this.
"Mn!"
Sun Mo urged, "Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and do it!"
"Why did Grandmaster Mei give you this pill?"
An Xinhui didn't move. She suddenly felt very worried. Could it be that her fiancé had sold his body in exchange for this?
"I was the one who gave her the pill recipe. During the concoction period, I also helped out a little."
Sun Mo casually explained, "Don't be conflicted over this. If you really feel bad, wait for the old headmaster to wake up and let him return the favor!"
An Xinhui cast an aggrieved glance at Sun Mo. (Are you still not willing to call him grandpa?)
This was as expected of a divine pill. The old headmaster had just consumed it when a layer of faint red light appeared on his body. It was like the thirsty earth welcomed the watering of the spring rain.
Sun Mo hurriedly checked the old headmaster's body. After that, he shook his head under An Xinhui's anticipating gaze.
"Grandpa failed in his attempt to break through to the saint realm. Although he managed to survive, the damage to his life source is too great. Hence, it's still unknown whether he can wake up or not."
Sun Mo explained, "But it's better than having no hope at all."
"Mn!"
An Xinhui accepted this reality. "Sun Mo, thank you!"
"How's the school's situation recently?"
Sun Mo changed the topic.
"Everything's fine!"
An Xinhui squeezed out a smile. "When Grandpa wakes up, I can brag to him that this is all thanks to you."
An Xinhui was still shy. She couldn't say something like 'Grandpa, the husband you chose for me is too outstanding'.
The two of them chatted as they waited here for another hour. After that, they left. Sun Mo returned to Jixia Learning Palace and settled the remaining trivial matters. After that, he prepared to head to the next city and conduct a lecture.
When An Xinhui locked the door, she didn't see the eyelids of the old headmaster, who was lying on the ice bed, moving a little.
