"There's no reason, I just feel it." After Lu Zhiruo spoke, she shook her head. "It shouldn't be her. They are so loving, so why would they poison him?"
"I actually have expectations for you?"
Li Ziqi facepalmed. Given Lu Zhiruo's silliness, it would be inconceivable if she could deduce the reason.
"Don't worry about them. That Cai Tan isn't a fool. As long as he pays attention, he'll find out."
Sun Mo passed the giant medicine packet's formula to Li Ziqi. "Take a look at these herbs. Can you find them?"
"What's the formula?"
Li Ziqi took it and quickly browsed through it. Lu Zhiruo also curiously moved her head over, sticking close to Li Ziqi's arm.
"It's for bathing!"
Sun Mo gave a simple explanation.
"There are a total of twenty-seven kinds of medicinal herbs on this list. Nineteen of them can be bought in the Nine Regions. However, Snow Ginseng, Lu Lian, and Asakusa are three of them that are rather difficult to obtain. They are rarely sold in the market. Not only are they expensive, their quality is also not very good."
Li Ziqi looked at the remaining eight types of herbs. "The rest are herbs that can only be found in the Darkness Continent. I've heard of them before, but I'm not clear about their specific effects. Also, if we want to buy them, we'll most probably have to go to the black market."
Sun Mo frowned. As long as it was something from the Darkness Continent, it wouldn't be cheap. If it was too wasteful to collect them, he might as well purchase them from the system merchant store.
To speak the truth, Sun Mo would gain 300 + favorable impression points every time he attended a Medical Refinement Lesson. It was enough to buy three of them.
"Teacher, you don't have to worry. Leave the gathering of these herbs to me."
Li Ziqi recommended herself. Her teacher was someone who did great things, so how could he be distracted by such minor matters? As the eldest disciple, he naturally had to do it for him.
"Alright, then I'll have to trouble you."
After hearing Li Ziqi's words, Sun Mo decided to concoct the giant medicine packet.
If it was for his own use, he could just buy a giant medicine packet from the system. But he still had six disciples. He couldn't possibly bathe with them every time, right? What's more, men and women shouldn't touch each other. If they were to take a bath together, it wouldn't look good.
Moreover, through the previous test, Sun Mo discovered that the effect of the giant medicine packet was very good. Even the sickly Tantai Yutang and Jiang Leng had obtained great benefits from it. In that case, the improvement to Li Ziqi and Lu Zhiruo would surely be even greater.
"It's what I should do!"
Li Ziqi smiled. Her teacher didn't mention anything about money. This meant that he treated her as one of his own and didn't treat her as an outsider.
Money?
Although Sun Mo only had a few hundred taels of silver on him now, if he could lower his pride and become a 'masseur', he would be able to earn a lot very quickly. However, there was no need for that.
As long as the giant medicine packet was concocted, he could casually sell a few and he would be able to recoup his capital.
In the pharmaceutical industry, the expensive part of medicine was not the herb, but the formula. Pharmaceutical giants like GlaxoSmithKline spent hundreds of billions on new drugs every year.
Sun Mo believed that given the powerful medicinal effects of the giant medicine packet, even a 3-star great teacher would spend a huge sum of money to purchase it after tasting it.
Even ordinary teachers need to buy it?
Sorry, poor bastard, please make way!
Since they had all come to the residence, Sun Mo took the opportunity to set up a full set for Li Ziqi and Lu Zhiruo. The genie came out, but he still stood at the side with his arms crossed, having no intention to make a move.
Sun Mo felt that the genie was an idiot. If it was any other man who had the chance to give Lu Zhiruo a massage, that man's pair of papayas would definitely crush her.
Ding!
"Congratulations on drawing 1,000 Spirit-Gathering Runes within a month. Mission completed. Reward: 1x black-iron treasure chest!"
A huge treasure chest that was the color of iron appeared before him.
Sun Mo lowered his head.
"What's wrong?"
Lu Zhiruo was lying on the bed in a salted fish position, blinking her big and beautiful eyes.
"It's nothing!"
Sun Mo thought to himself. He had touched his lucky mascot for about five minutes, so his luck value should have increased by a lot, right? Hence, he opened the treasure chest.
The light dissipated, leaving behind a mahjong tile.
Ding!
"Congratulations on obtaining a time emblem — Limited Edition. It can only be used to raise the proficiency of a certain type of spirit rune drawing technique."
"There's a limited edition?"
Sun Mo was astonished.
After the two sets were completed, Sun Mo got Li Ziqi and Lu Zhiruo to take a bath. He then took out the time emblem and shattered it with a slap.
Pak!
After the green light splattered out for a distance, it stopped in the air and then shot toward Sun Mo's forehead, causing him to be covered in a layer of green.
"System, if there's a chance, I'll definitely let you become the Greentop Daoist."
Sun Mo made a mental note for the system. To men, green was the color that they couldn't bear.
However, the effect was quite good. As the green light entered Sun Mo's mind, a tremendous amount of information was generated and eventually became his knowledge.
"Congratulations, your Black Tortoise Spirit Rune Drawing Technique seems to have gone through ten years of arduous tempering. Your proficiency level has risen from the expert-grade to the ancestor-grade!"
The system congratulated.
"What grade?"
Sun Mo clicked his tongue, thinking that he had heard wrongly.
"Ancestor-Grade!"
The system repeated.
"Why did my proficiency level rise so much in one go?"
Sun Mo was curious. He hadn't drawn a single Black Tortoise Spirit Rune before. If he could find the trick to it, would his proficiency level rise so quickly in the future?
"It's because your talent in the study of spirit runes has always been very outstanding. Moreover, your Spirit-Gathering Rune Drawing Technique is at the ancestor-grade. As the saying goes, you can infer many things from one instance. The result is that the effect of this time emblem can be unleashed to the greatest extent."
The system explained.
Bluntly speaking, the time emblem would only give you ten years of experience. But to people with different aptitudes, the increment would be different. After all, some people would have a higher growth rate, while others would have a lower growth rate.
"What's the ranking of my Black Tortoise Spirit Rune then?"
Sun Mo waved his arm and drew a few strokes in the air.
"The Central Province Academy is ranked # 1. Jinling City is ranked # 1. Central Province is ranked # 1 with two ancestor-level ancestors."
The system replied.
Seeing the three first rankers, Sun Mo smiled in satisfaction. He didn't care about the Central Province Academy for now. In Jinling, he was the number one ranker and could direct everything.
After that, Sun Mo heaved a sigh of relief. Honestly speaking, every spirit rune lesson would be about spirit gathering runes. Even if the students weren't vexed, he would be vexed. Now, there was finally a new spirit rune.
"System, what's the ranking for those under 30?"
Sun Mo continued asking.
"F * ck your mom!"
The system roared. It also wanted to curse out loud. Your overall ranking is already number one, and you're still asking people under 30? Do you have nothing better to do?
"Will it kill you to praise me more?"
It was indeed not easy to take advantage of the system.
"Teacher, what are you laughing at?"
Li Ziqi returned. As she had just finished bathing, her skin was fair and tender. It was also glowing with a hint of warmth.
"Because I feel that I've grown stronger again."
Sun Mo added in his heart, "System, rest in peace!"
"Teacher, there's still close to two months before we head to the Darkness Continent. What do we need to prepare?"
Lu Zhiruo was filled with anticipation.
"The school will distribute a list of items. At that time, we just need to prepare according to the list. However, for things like medicinal herbs, the more, the better."
Li Ziqi had long since inquired about this. She confidently patted her poached chest. "Teacher, don't worry. Leave everything to me."
As the eldest martial sister, she naturally had to handle these trivial matters well. She mustn't let her teacher worry.
"I'll have to trouble you then."
Sun Mo rubbed Li Ziqi's head.
"Wu, Teacher is finally rubbing my head."
Li Ziqi felt a little happy. After that, she sneaked a glance at Sun Mo's expression and felt a little worried. The feeling of her head wouldn't be inferior to the papaya girl's, right?
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Li Ziqi + 15. Friendly (640/1,000).
Lu Zhiruo stood at the side and pouted. She felt a little disappointed that her head wasn't touched by Sun Mo.
...
Concentrated Fragrance Court was one of the three great brothels in Jinling City. The style of the young ladies here was passionate and unrestrained, going straight to the point.
Reciting poems and painting? Admiring paintings and scenery? That didn't exist.
Drinking, singing, and acting were the main colors of this place. Hence, high officials and nobles wouldn't come here often. However, the second generations of wealthy merchants liked this place a lot.
In the second heaven-tier VIP room, the female screams grew louder and louder.
Mother Qian had already knocked on the door for the third time. In the end, a vase was thrown out and her head was almost smashed. There was no solution to it. She could only look for Li Tai.
"Little prince, please lend a hand. If Young Master Zhou continues hitting like this, Little Lihua will be beaten to death."
Mother Qian cried.
"I'll go and take a look!"
Li Tai carried two young ladies with each of his hands and walked out of the room. On the way, he wasn't afraid of meeting familiar people. He just rubbed the breasts of the young ladies and didn't let go. Occasionally, when he saw beautiful girls passing by, he would also stretch out his hand to touch them.
However, most of the girls would use small fans to cover their breasts. They would smile faintly and throw flirtatious glances at him.
Although this Li Tai wasn't handsome enough and had ordinary looks, his status was extremely high. He was the younger brother of the Great Tang Emperor, Li Zixing, and the youngest son that Prince Li doted on the most.
With the shining halo of a little prince, Li Tai didn't even need to move his finger and there would be girls crawling over to lick his boots.
Bang!
Li Tai kicked open the door.
"Who is it? You don't want to live anymore? "
Zhou Yong abruptly turned his head and picked up a vase, preparing to smash it over.
"Zhou Yong, are you crazy?"
Li Tai cast a glance. That girl named Little Lihua was already lying on the ground. She didn't even have the strength to scream. There wasn't a piece of undamaged skin on her body. Whip marks and large bruises could be seen everywhere.
"Little prince!"
When Zhou Yong saw that it was Li Tai, he didn't dare to act rashly. He impatiently kicked the girl on the ground. "Why are you still not scramming? What a disappointment!"
"I heard that you were punished by a newly employed teacher with the halo of 'Learn Countless'? You turned into an idiot and wandered around the classroom for an entire lesson? "
Li Tai asked. Although he was from the Myriad Daos Academy, their circle wasn't that big. If there was any news, it would have long since spread.
Zhou Yong had always been domineering and arrogant by relying on his wealthy father. Now that he was taught a lesson, many people were rejoicing in his misfortune.
When Zhou Yong heard this, he lifted the vase and smashed it toward the back of Little Lihua's head.
Bang!
Little Lihua's eyes rolled back and she fell to the ground. Very soon, fresh blood flowed out.
Zhou Yong didn't even glance at her. He returned to his table and picked up a bottle of grape wine, gulping it down. "You want to see me make a fool of myself? In less than seven days, I will make that fellow lose all his reputation and scram out of Jinling City! "
Ever since Zhou Yong was young, when had he ever suffered such humiliation?
During Sun Mo's first public lecture, after Zhou Yong was taught a lesson, he had wanted to take revenge immediately. In the end, his father, Zhou Yuanzhi, found out about this and grounded him for ten days.
Zhou Yuanzhi wasn't angry that his son had rebuked a teacher. Rather, he was angry that Zhou Yong had failed. Hence, he grounded him for ten days to let Zhou Yong calm down and think of a plan to take revenge.
After Zhou Yong's grounding ended, he happened to hear about the arranged battle between Gao Ben and Sun Mo. Hence, he temporarily suppressed his revenge plan and prepared to jump out to ridicule Sun Mo after Sun Mo was defeated by Gao Ben. However, who knew that Gao Ben was useless!
Not only did he fail to get rid of Sun Mo, but he even became a stepping stone for Sun Mo, causing his fame to grow even greater. How preposterous!
Upon thinking of this, Zhou Yong was so angry that his liver hurt. However, it didn't matter. He had already arranged his plan. Sun Mo would be finished in a few days.
"Is that so? In that case, don't disappoint everyone! "
Li Tai teased. His eyes narrowed, wanting nothing more than for Zhou Yong to create more trouble and turn the entire Central Province Academy upside down. At that time, the Myriad Daos Academy would become the only famous school in Jinling.
...
In the Zhang Clan's manor.
The third young master, Zhang Qianlin, had returned after three years of studying abroad. The second madam was extremely happy and gave out quite a lot of money, causing the servants in the manor to be in a joyous mood.
"Father, what's going on with that Sun Mo?"
Zhang Qianlin chatted with his mother for a while and then impatiently entered the study to ask.
"What did I teach you?"
Zhang Hanfu glared. "No matter what, you must not be impatient or impatient. Did you waste your two years of studying abroad?"
Zhang Qianlin's countenance turned black after being scolded. However, he knew that his father's temper was like this. If he retorted, his father would surely give him a good scolding. Hence, he could only endure it.
15 minutes later, Zhang Hanfu spoke.
"Did you gain anything from your trip to the three 'A' grade academies this time around?"
Zhang Hanfu looked at his son with admiration.
Although Zhang Qianlin was the son of a concubine, his mother was very good-looking. Hence, Zhang Qianlin didn't have a short stature like Zhang Hanfu. On the contrary, he was tall and had a fair complexion, exuding the image of a suave young master.
The crux was that not only was Zhang Qianlin handsome, but his aptitude was also extraordinary. He was highly regarded by Zhang Hanfu and had been carefully nurturing him since young.
After Zhang Qianlin grew up, Zhang Hanfu went all out and begged many people to help his son gain a chance to study abroad, going to the three 'A' grade academies for further studies.
This time around, it could be said that he had returned with success.
"I'm now at the fifth level of the blood-ignition realm. Although my cultivation base is a little low, my achievements in the study of spirit runes have gained the recognition of Teacher Wang. He said that no one in Jinling would be a match for me in five years!"
Zhang Qianlin gave a simple introduction of the situation.
"Oh? Teacher Wang really said that? "
Zhang Hanfu's eyes brightened. Teacher Wang was the vice-headmaster of the High Mountain Academy and a 5-star great teacher. He had very deep attainments in the study of spirit runes and was half-a-step into the ancestor-level.
Teacher He of the school wasn't bad either, but he was still a little inferior when compared to Teacher Wang. Otherwise, Zhang Hanfu wouldn't have sent his son over from so far away to study.
"It's true!"
After Zhang Qianlin spoke, the topic shifted to An Xinhui. "Why did she suddenly have a fiancé? Did someone force her? "
