"F * ck!"
Sun Mo shot back. "Why didn't you say so earlier?"
(Isn't this wasting a time emblem on me?) (If I knew that the increment of one time emblem is so small, I might as well upgrade Immemorial Vairocana.)
"You didn't ask!"
The system expressed its grievance.
"Come out, I promise I won't beat you to death!"
Sun Mo was very angry. (Do you think you're in the right?
What should I do now? Give up just like that? But I really can't accept this!)
For the sixth level of the Grand Universe Formless Divine Art, only by being able to create clones would it be considered a small success. Otherwise, it would be useless.
"I suggest buying time emblems from the system merchant store and train the sixth level to perfection in one go!"
The system suggested.
"How many points do I have now?"
Sun Mo asked.
“19827.”
The system's reply was just short of three decimal places.
"Give me a time emblem, the ten-year type."
Sun Mo made a decision.
Ding!
"Congratulations, purchase successful. The time emblem has arrived. Please check!"
A bronze-colored emblem landed before Sun Mo. After he took it out, he directly smashed it.
A few minutes later, the notification rang out.
"Congratulations, the sixth level of the Grand Universe Formless Divine Art has been upgraded to the familiar-grade. Please continue to work hard!"
After that, nothing happened.
Sun Mo pulled out his wooden blade and ruthlessly slashed it on the floor.
(Where's the clone?)
(You ate it!)
(Why is there still nothing?)
"Seems like I have to raise my proficiency index to the expert-grade before a clone will appear!"
The system analyzed.
"F * ck your mom!"
Sun Mo cursed.
"What's wrong with Teacher?"
Lu Zhiruo grabbed Li Ziqi's sleeves, feeling a little worried. Could it be that his cultivation wasn't smooth?
"Teacher is cultivating!"
Li Ziqi casually said. She then picked up a cup of water and walked over. "Teacher, calm down!"
Hearing Li Ziqi's gentle voice, Sun Mo turned his head and saw Lu Zhiruo's frightened expression. He suddenly felt a little self-reproachful. He knew that he had become impetuous.
He couldn't even control his emotions. This was a great loss of composure. Hence, Sun Mo took a few deep breaths to calm his irritated and unhappy emotions.
"Hmph, isn't it just two time emblems? I can still afford it! "
The majority of Sun Mo's favorable impression points came from his Medical Cultivation lessons. Basically, he would be able to earn 1,000 favorable impression points in three to four days. It was enough to buy a time emblem.
"System, give me another one!"
Sun Mo went all out. (I don't believe that even if I have to spend all my favorable impression points today, I'm going to display the Universe Formless Clone Technique.)
At most, he would delay the purchase of the Misleading Students halo by a month!
Ding!
"Congratulations, the purchase is successful. The time emblems have arrived. Please take note to receive them!"
Sun Mo took out the emblem and was about to use it when the system notification rang out again.
"Congratulations, you've managed to suppress your anger and irritation and control your emotions, improving your mental state. You're hereby rewarded with one Black Iron Treasure Chest."
A treasure chest that was enshrouded in a metallic color appeared before Sun Mo.
"That works?"
Sun Mo was speechless. (Are you giving a carrot after a stick?)
"Sun Mo, this cultivation art is the ultimate divine art of the Skyraise Academy. If it was easy to master, it wouldn't have become one of the rigid criteria for choosing headmasters."
The system explained.
The Skyraise Academy was the leader of the Nine Greats in Middle-Earth Nine Provinces. It was the undisputed number one famous school. Even if one thought about it with their toes, they would know how powerful their ultimate divine art was.
Without spending several tens of years, one wouldn't be able to master it.
Therefore, it was said that students who had a deep level of attainment in this cultivation art were all outstanding people. They were destined to have great accomplishments in the future.
Right now, Sun Mo was only using a few thousand favorable impression points to buy a few time emblems. After using them, he could raise his proficiency level to the sixth level. He had already taken many shortcuts.
If the geniuses of the Skyraise Academy were to find out about this, they'd surely be driven to death from anger.
"Will it be increasingly difficult to raise the level of this divine art in the future?"
Sun Mo's emotions had already calmed down.
"It should be said that for any cultivation art, the higher the level, the harder it would be to master. All of them are tempering the cultivator's mentality, effort, will, aptitude, and many other aspects."
The system explained.
In this world, everything was the same. It was easy to get started, but it was very difficult to become proficient in it or even to become a grandmaster. Only an extremely small number of people would be able to stand at the peak and look down on all others. Otherwise, the streets would be filled with God of Racing, Saint of Chess, and God of Ball.
"Understood!"
Sun Mo nodded and then shattered the time emblem.
Motes of light shot out. When all of them shot into Sun Mo's mind, this time around, maybe it was because his mental state had been raised, he had a deeper understanding and comprehension of the essence of this cultivation art.
Ding!
"Congratulations, the sixth level of the Grand Universe Formless Divine Art has been raised to the expert-grade!"
Sun Mo didn't hear this at all. All of his attention was focused on contemplating and circulating his mental cultivation art at the same time.
A tearing pain engulfed Sun Mo like tidal waves.
It was as if someone was pulling his skin, using brute force to peel it off.
"Ahh!"
Lu Zhiruo was so frightened that she screamed. After that, she hurriedly covered her mouth, worried that she would disturb Sun Mo. However, she was too scared and didn't know what to do. She could only look toward Li Ziqi for help. However, the little sunny egg also had a look of astonishment on her face.
(What cultivation art is Teacher cultivating?)
Traces of red mist seeped out from different parts of Sun Mo's body. After that, they gradually condensed into a mist-like Sun Mo.
As time passed by, the facial features of this' Sun Mo 'became increasingly clear. All of a sudden, it opened its eyes, and golden light shot out in all directions. In that instant, it was as if a soul had been injected into it. However, in the next instant, it became dim and lifeless, without any spirit.
"Could it be that my eyes are playing tricks on me?"
Li Ziqi mumbled.
Sun Mo's body no longer seeped out the red mist. Instead, a layer of dark-red light flashed. After that, a huge suction force was generated. The 'Sun Mo' that was condensed from the mist started to disintegrate and was sucked into Sun Mo's body.
Hu!
Sun Mo let out a turbid breath and opened his eyes.
"Boohoohoo, Teacher, are you alright?"
Lu Zhiruo was like a corgi, rushing over fiercely and pouncing on Sun Mo's body. Her two small hands kept on touching him, checking if he was injured.
"I'm very good!"
Sun Mo rubbed Lu Zhiruo's head. He could sense the girl's concern for him, and this caused him to feel warmth in his heart.
To speak the truth, after coming to the Middle-Earth Nine Provinces, he kept feeling that he was an outsider in a foreign land. No one cared about him, and no one knew about him. But now, he once again tasted the feeling of being cared for.
In the future, if he wanted to eat hotpot, he could call Lu Zhiruo and Li Ziqi along.
"Teacher, your cultivation art is a little scary when you cultivate it!"
Li Ziqi's eyes were red. If it wasn't because she wanted to protect her prestige as the eldest martial sister, she would have cried long ago.
"This is the sixth level of the Grand Universe Formless Divine Art. You guys will have to experience it in the future."
Sun Mo smiled. He had only taught the first four levels to the two girls, so it was very normal that they didn't know about it.
"Ah?"
Li Ziqi exclaimed in shock.
"What's wrong?"
Lu Zhiruo was puzzled.
"Teacher, you've actually cultivated the ultimate divine art of the Skyraise Academy to the sixth level?"
Li Ziqi surveyed Sun Mo as if she was looking at a monster. (How old are you? You're only 20 years old, right? Even if you started cultivating in your mother's womb, you shouldn't be able to improve so quickly!)
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Li Ziqi + 50. Friendly (710/1,000).
"Eh? It's true. I haven't even grasped the first level yet! "
Lu Zhiruo exclaimed in shock. She then clenched her small fist in annoyance and knocked her head. She was so stupid. But after that, she felt happy again.
"But it's fine. I have an amazing teacher!"
The papaya girl hugged Sun Mo's arm and beamed with joy, feeling proud of him.
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Lu Zhiruo + 50. Friendly (993/1,000).
"Alright, I'll go wash up first. After that, let's go buy a few flower pots!"
Right now, Sun Mo had accumulated quite a lot of dark soil, just enough to fill a pot and plant that mysterious seed. Otherwise, it would be useless to just leave it there.
"I'll go get some water!"
Lu Zhiruo ran away happily like a rabbit.
Sun Mo looked at the papaya girl's back view and opened the black-iron treasure chest he had just obtained.
It was a bottle of ancient whale oil.
It wasn't a loss!
Right now, Sun Mo didn't reject anything. In any case, as long as it wasn't soil, it was a profit.
...
At the instant when Sun Mo's clone was born, in the Sword Hut at the back mountain of the Skyraise Academy.
An old man who was in seclusion suddenly opened his eyes and looked in the direction of Jinling. His face was skinny, but his eyes shot out light in all directions as if they could penetrate through the barriers of the world.
After the old man stared at it for a few minutes, he suddenly flicked his finger.
Pak!
A ball of spirit qi shot out, instantly turning into a palm-sized flying sword that whistled out.
In the guest room, the headmaster of the Skyraise Academy was playing chess with an old friend he hadn't seen for a long time. All of a sudden, he saw the spirit qi flying sword cutting through the air and stopping before him.
The headmaster hurriedly got up and bowed slightly.
Pffft!
The flying sword pierced into the headmaster's glabella, and a message flashed in his mind.
"Someone, go and tell Little Bei to make a trip to Jiangnan and retrieve the lost secret treasure of our school."
The headmaster instructed.
The secretary received the order and left. After that, the headmaster sat down, but he was holding onto a chess piece, no longer in the mood to play chess.
"The Grand Universe Formless Divine Art is the ultimate divine art of the Skyraise Academy. How did it get leaked out? Could it be that damnable traitor who did it? "
The headmaster's countenance turned grim. No matter what, the Grand Universe Formless Divine Art wasn't to be blasphemed. If an outsider were to learn it, he would have to die.
...
Spring Comes Early Flower Shop was about a ten-minute journey away from the Central Province Academy. The shop wasn't big, but there were many varieties. Moreover, the lady boss was quite young and had some good looks. This was especially so when she wore an apron and was busy working.
"Teacher, it can't be that you have improper thoughts about her, right?"
Li Ziqi mumbled in a low voice.
"Don't speak nonsense. She's a widow and needs to pay attention to her reputation. If this were to spread out, she might have no choice but to jump into the river."
Sun Mo wasn't interested in young married women.
"Hehe!"
Li Ziqi laughed. (You're still saying that you don't have any thoughts about her? You even found out that she's a widow.)
"Lady boss, I want this one with a painting of a court lady!"
Sun Mo casually pointed at a large flower pot. Although he didn't know if the seeds could be planted, it was better to buy a good flower pot as it would be a good omen. "Give me another 500 grams of fertilizer."
The beautiful widow quickly packed everything up. After that, she stood at the entrance of the shop and sent them off with a smile. "Teacher Sun, take care. Remember to come again next time!"
Seeing how Sun Mo and the lady boss were waving their hands, appearing to be very familiar with each other, Li Ziqi decided to get some porcelain ware from Jingdezhen for her teacher to grow flowers. She would also prepare a few hundred kilograms of fertilizer so that her teacher wouldn't need to buy new ones for a few years.
Sun Mo had come out a few times, so he knew that there was a small path. He chatted happily with the two female students, and the atmosphere was very relaxed. However, not long after he entered the small path, he frowned.
The small path wasn't wide and could only allow five people to walk side by side. The ground was paved with stones, and there were residential buildings on both sides. Some pear trees extended out from the courtyard walls. Occasionally, when the summer wind blew, the petals would sway and fall to the ground.
Sun Mo pulled out his wooden blade.
At the end of the small path, over ten burly men appeared. All of them were wielding metal rods and short blades. Their expressions were ferocious as they stared at Sun Mo's group.
"Teacher!"
Lu Zhiruo immediately felt nervous and grabbed Sun Mo's sleeves.
"Don't be afraid!"
Li Ziqi gulped down a mouthful of saliva. These people clearly weren't easy to deal with. She glanced behind her and discovered that over ten burly men had appeared behind her, blocking her path.
"Follow me, don't fall behind!"
Sun Mo increased his pace.
"Oh!"
Li Ziqi took a few steps forward, but she suddenly staggered and almost fell.
There was no solution to it. Her motor nerves were really too weak.
"Oh no!"
Li Ziqi's expression turned bitter and she subconsciously used her hands to protect her head. As she had fallen too many times, these protective postures had already become a conditioned reflex.
However, Li Ziqi didn't fall. A large hand rapidly stretched over and grabbed the little sunny egg's arm.
"Don't be anxious!"
Sun Mo comforted her gently.
"Teacher, it's all my fault!"
Li Ziqi bit her lips, feeling very remorseful. Actually, the most correct thing to do now was to quickly run and kill their way out before the enemies surrounded them. She knew that her teacher would definitely be able to think of such a battle tactic. It was just that she was too useless and couldn't keep up. Hence, he could only give up.
"Hehe, what are you talking about?"
Sun Mo grinned and then punched out.
RUMBLE!
Dust flew up.
The courtyard wall at the side was broken. Sun Mo casually tossed Li Ziqi in. "Zhiruo, go in!"
At this moment, those burly men also took large strides and rushed over. These fellows were definitely not ordinary hoodlums. From their attitude, it was clear that they were used to street battles.
Sun Mo held the black sandalwood blade in one hand and stood before the hole in the courtyard wall.
Escape?
That wasn't his style. However, he wasn't careless. Since these people were specially targeting him, they would definitely have information about him. The people they sent over should also be pretty strong.
"Damnable human traffickers, kidnapping young girls in broad daylight. Why aren't you surrendering yourself?"
The burly man in the lead had a scorpion tattoo on his face. He shouted loudly and took the lead to rush over.
"Che!"
Sun Mo's lips twitched. Look at their professionalism. Even if they wanted to do something bad, they would first give their enemies a bad reputation. This way, even if they couldn't escape in the end and were stopped by the authorities, they could still say that they were acting bravely for a just cause and that it was just a misunderstanding.
Sun Mo wouldn't believe it if someone said that they weren't from a major gang in Jinling City.
