"Save someone?"
Looking at Li Luoran who was begging him, Sun Mo's lips twitched. "Why should I?"
Sun Mo didn't really care about saving people. He was just unhappy about their rude and unreasonable attitude earlier. If he was a little weaker, he would have been cleared out.
"…"
Li Luoran thought of Sun Mo's powerful sword technique, and a look of panic appeared on his face. An expert like Sun Mo would surely have no lack of treasures, and there was nothing on him that could tempt him.
But for the sake of Hua Zi's life, he had to give it a try!
Rip!
Li Luoran loosened her collar.
"Hmm?"
Sun Mo was startled. (Don't tell me you want to use your body as the price?)
Even if you were willing, as a master teacher, I would be too embarrassed to accept it. However, your skin sure is tanned. With a single look, I can tell that you live a life of hard labor.
Li Luoran pulled the pendant off her chest and said, "This is a treasure my father found in a dark relic. With it, you can drive away snakes, insects, rats, and ants. It's very useful when traveling in the wild."
"Luo Ran, don't! That is your father's legacy!"
Zhang Xiang had been hiding behind a boulder not too far away. When he heard those words, he couldn't help but jump out to stop them.
Li Luoran fumbled with the pendant, her eyes filled with reluctance. But soon, she made up her mind and threw it at Sun Mo.
"Things are dead, but Hua Zi is alive!"
Li Luoran insisted, "It's worth it to trade it for Hua Zi's life!"
Pa!
Sun Mo took the pendant and looked at Li Luoran with a smile. "Did I promise you?"
"Ugh!"
Hearing this, Li Luoran felt bitter.
"Also, let me tell you one more thing. The biggest effect of this pendant is to resist spiritual spells. It has a magical effect of calming the mind. Ever since you wore it, you've never had any nightmares, right?"
Sun Mo's archeology was at the grandmaster-grade. Even without Divine Sight, he could appraise the value of this pendant.
"…"
Li Luoran was stunned. When she was young, she would cry and throw a tantrum whenever her father left. But after she received this gift, she no longer did that.
"This kind of defensive soul type secret treasure is very valuable. In the Nine Prefectures, many people would fight to buy it!"
Sun Mo played with the pendant and stole a glance at Li Luoran's expression.
"You've been to the Nine States?"
Lv Guojing also came and interrupted.
Sun Mo's heart skipped a beat. So, these people were dark species. Only the aboriginals of the Darkness Continent would ask such a question.
"How much is it worth?"
Zhang Xiang, on the other hand, was more concerned about the value of the pendant.
"Over a hundred thousand Spirit Stones!"
Zhang Xiang and Lv Guojing sucked in a breath of cold air. Li Luoran's face was also filled with shock and disbelief.
This …
Isn't this too expensive?
"Brother, please return the pendant to me. It is a memento of Luo Ran's father!"
Zhang Xiang's tone was weak. There was nothing he could do about it. He wanted to use force, but he didn't have the strength to do so.
"Zhang Xiang!"
Li Luoran glared at Zhang Xiang and said indignantly, "Hua Zi is a good friend of ours. Are you going to watch him die?"
Zhang Xiang thought to himself, 'If he dies, no one will fight with me for you.'
"Big brother, I'll give you the pendant. Please save Hua Zi!"
Li Luoran pleaded again. In her opinion, even if such an expert did not know any life-saving medical skills, he must have some life-saving medicine with him.
Sun Mo shook his head and tossed the pendant back.
Swoosh!
Zhang Xiang and Lv Guojing hurriedly rushed out. Lv Guojing caught the pendant and carefully handed it to Li Luoran. "One hundred thousand Spiritual Stones, keep it carefully!" he said.
Li Luoran ignored the pendant and looked at Sun Mo. "Big brother, what will it take for you to save him?"
"Sister, listen to me. Go home. You'll die sooner or later if you're so naive!"
Sun Mo sighed.
The girl was in her twenties, and her eyes were filled with innocence. If she were in the Nine Provinces, she would have been abducted and sold by human traffickers. She would have given birth to a few children.
However, a kind person should be rewarded.
Sun Mo jumped off the rock. "Lead the way!"
"En!"
Li Luoran's despair turned to joy. She hurriedly ran ahead to lead the way for Sun Mo.
Soon, Sun Mo arrived at the temporary camp of Li Luoran and the others. He saw Zheng Hua lying unconscious in the animal skin tent.
Sun Mo examined him and couldn't help but frown.
Li Luoran's heart skipped a beat. She stuttered, "Is … is there no hope?"
"That's not it! Many of his bones are broken. Although he had undergone some simple treatment, they weren't reconnected properly. It's a complication and he needs some medicinal herbs to treat it. "
Sun Mo looked at the three of them, feeling very surprised. "You guys can't even treat such a small injury, and yet you dare to come out and take the risk?"
(If you guys encounter an accident that requires professional knowledge to treat, won't you guys be wiped out?)
The three of them blushed.
Zhang Xiang felt indignant. "He's about to die! And you still say that this is a small injury? "
"Summer insects shouldn't talk about ice!"
Sun Mo couldn't be bothered to argue. He performed the ancient massage technique and reconnected Zheng Hua's bones.
When the genie materialized, Li Luoran and the other two acted as if they had seen an evil ghost. They were so frightened that they hurriedly retreated.
Zhang Xiang even fell flat on his face.
"Don't panic, this is my massage technique."
Sun Mo consoled them.
"..."
The three of them were like country bumpkins who had just seen a short film for the first time. Their worldview was toppled.
They couldn't tell if the bones were reconnected or not, but the swelling and pain could be seen with the naked eye.
Zheng Hua's swollen body was like a silkworm chrysalis, but as the muscular genie massaged him, the swelling subsided. Previously, he had been writhing about due to the pain with a pained expression on his face. Now, he had fallen asleep quietly.
"Done!"
Sun Mo got up and poured some water from the kettle to wash his hands. "He'll be alive and kicking tomorrow."
"Wait a minute, didn't you say earlier that you needed some medicinal herbs to treat him?"
Zhang Xiang questioned.
"That's for ordinary doctors!"
Sun Mo explained, "After my Ancient Dragon Capturing Hands' treatment, I can skip this step."
"What a domineering name!"
Lv Guojing flattered. However, it was clear that he rarely did such things, so his expression was a little awkward.
Li Luoran didn't say anything, but she looked at Sun Mo with admiration. This was enough to show her attitude.
Not only was his sword arts superb, but he was also so good at massaging. She really wanted to learn!
"Are you a teacher from the Starry Academy?"
Zhang Xiang was curious. From his point of view, only teachers from this school would be so amazing.
"I've never heard of this school!"
Sun Mo shook his head.
"Haha, how remote must your village be? You haven't even heard of the famous Starry Academy. Let me tell you, it's the greatest school on this continent. Everyone there is a wise person!"
Zhang Xiang boasted.
He finally found something that was better than Sun Mo, and that was that he was very familiar with the Starry Academy.
Sun Mo understood after hearing a few words.
Most of the people who were exiled gathered together to make a living. As time passed, many villages were formed.
As the Darkness Continent was too big, most of the villages didn't know each other's location. Moreover, as many people were criminals, even if they knew the location of other villages, they wouldn't visit and communicate with each other.
However, humans were social creatures. If a race wanted to develop productivity and pass down knowledge, they had to have a city and a civilization.
This lasted until a great teacher established the Starry Academy and spared no effort in recruiting great teachers and teaching students. After spending several hundred years, this school's reputation finally spread.
This school wanted to gather the descendants of those exiles and form a fist. Only then would they have a better chance of surviving in the Darkness Continent.
While Zhang Xiang was introducing the Starry Academy, Lv Guojing was smiling at the side. However, he was secretly assessing Sun Mo in his heart, and a hint of worry flashed in his eyes.
He didn't even know about this school. There were only two possibilities. One, he had just come to the Darkness Continent not long ago. Two, his parents were exiles. He was born on this continent but didn't know some common knowledge because he hadn't lived long enough.
Wait a minute, he was so powerful. He definitely wasn't a second-generation species of darkness that lacked resources. He must be a genius that could only be nurtured by a famous school in the Nine Provinces.
He must have used unscrupulous means to become stronger. That was why he was exiled.
Otherwise, how could he be so powerful at such a young age?
I'm really a genius at deduction.
Lv Guojing admired himself. After that, he started to think about how to 'deal' with Sun Mo.
"Do you want to go to the Starry Academy with us to be a teacher?"
Li Luoran invited.
"Sure!"
Sun Mo already knew that this team of five was here to hunt the Heart of Darkness. They wanted to go to the Starry Academy on the fourth level to apply for a job. "I wonder how good I am. Can I succeed? "
"Don't worry. With your massage technique, you'll definitely pass the test!"
Li Luoran comforted him. She wanted to say something but hesitated.
"Haha, do you want to learn? I'll teach you! "
Sun Mo looked at this girl, who wasn't considered pretty but was very innocent, and showed his kindness.
"Huh?"
Li Luoran was overjoyed. It was as if a pie had fallen from the sky. "Can I?"
"Luoran, do you still remember what the elders said before we left? Don't take the benefits that can be picked up easily! "
Zhang Xiang couldn't stand the way Li Luoran looked at Sun Mo.
"Big Brother is not a bad person!"
Li Luoran was innocent, but she wasn't stupid. Given this young man's strength, if he forced himself on her, she wouldn't be able to resist.
Besides, he was so handsome. He probably wouldn't be interested in a village girl like me.
That night, Li Luoran was very excited. After learning the Muscleforge Technique, she took the initiative to serve Sun Mo. After that, she went to look for Zhang Xiang and Lv Guojing.
The next morning, Zhang Xiang woke up with dark circles under his eyes. He was about to go to the campsite to pee when he saw Zheng Hua practicing in the campsite. He was shocked.
"This..."
Zhang Xiang rubbed his eyes hard. What a joke. How could he not lie in bed for a hundred days after suffering such heavy injuries?
"Haha, Xiang Zi, come and fight 300 rounds with me!"
Zheng Hua challenged him.
"Have you really recovered?"
Zhang Xiang had a doubtful look on his face.
"Teacher's Ancient Dragon Capturing Hands is definitely the best in the world!"
Li Luoran had a proud look on her face. She even started to address Sun Mo as her teacher. "Aiya, my quail should be ready. I'll bring it to Teacher!"
"..."
Zhang Xiang suddenly felt very unhappy.
...
In the following days, the new team of five rushed to the fourth level of the Darkness Continent, which was also commonly known as the Reflection Continent.
Along the way, Li Luoran served Sun Mo tea and even washed his feet. She made Sun Mo feel very comfortable. She was just short of warming his bed.
Of course, she didn't lose out because Sun Mo had imparted everything he knew to her, not leaving a single drop behind.
Lv Guojing and the other two naturally wanted to learn such an amazing massage technique. It was just that they were rejected.
Zheng Hua had personally experienced how powerful the ancient massage technique was. Hence, he thickened his skin and prepared to secretly learn it even if he had to suffer a beating. However, he discovered that Sun Mo was actually a very open-minded person.
Sun Mo didn't accept him as a disciple, but he didn't forbid him from secretly learning it either.
"What kind of mentality do you think he has?"
Zheng Hua couldn't understand.
"Teacher, this is the magnanimity of a great teacher!"
Li Luoran felt that Sun Mo was too noble.
Half a month later, the team of five passed through the spiraling forest and entered the Reflection Continent.
"You must wear the Heart of Darkness properly, or there will be trouble."
Lv Guojing reminded him. After that, he saw Sun Mo taking off the Heart of Darkness.
Sun Mo wanted to move his right leg, but he moved his left leg instead. He wanted to fly, but his feet were rooted to the ground, not moving at all.
How troublesome!
Sun Mo's lips twitched.
In this place, one's thoughts and actions were the opposite. Without the Heart of Darkness, it would be hard for them to move.
It was almost time for the great teacher examination. Hence, the five of them didn't dare to delay and hurried on with their fastest speed.
The closer they got to the Starry Academy, the more people there were.
Some were here to seek knowledge, and some were here to seek employment.
Finally, Sun Mo saw the famous dark school in a towering and precipitous canyon.
It used the stone walls on both sides as support, and a huge stone wall was built in front of it. Most of the buildings inside were made of stone.
A primitive and savage aura gushed over.
"I might be able to meet Xuanyuan Po here!"
Sun Mo looked at the thick and tall stone wall, feeling a little excited.
The combat addict had returned to the Darkness Continent. Given his personality of loving to challenge others, he would only be able to fulfill his wish by coming here.
"Everyone, come and queue up. Once you receive your card, you can enter the school for a tour."
A middle-aged man stood at the school's entrance. "Lunch will be provided, but please take note that you must leave the school before night falls. Otherwise, you will be killed without mercy!"
"How many days can we visit?"
Someone asked.
"There's no limit!"
The middle-aged man replied.
"Can we visit any place?"
Another person was curious.
"Yes, you can go to the library, the battle hall, or attend lectures. I know that many of you are here to seek employment, but I hope that after a few days of visiting, you will correct your attitude."
The middle-aged man's expression was solemn. "The teachers here are not like those in the Nine Provinces. They don't need to comprehend great teacher halos, but they must have a special skill."
One of Sun Mo's doubts was resolved.
Before this, he had been wondering why a newbie like Li Luoran, who didn't even have a great teacher halo, wanted to seek employment as a teacher. Wasn't this a joke?
So it turned out that the Starry Academy didn't need this. It was purely practical.
"Finally, if you can't become a teacher, you can become a student. There's no age restriction here. As long as you have a heart that's eager to learn, you can sign up!"
The middle-aged man introduced, "I hope that you guys can find your life dreams here!"
Sun Mo followed the crowd, passed through the gate, and entered the school.
