The horse carriage moved in an orderly manner on the road.
Sun Mo wasn't in a hurry to open the treasure chest. Instead, he continued to memorize the medicinal plants of the Darkness Continent until he had memorized all 100 types. The system's notification rang out, indicating that he had reached the grandmaster-grade. Only then did he stop.
"Perfect!"
Sun Mo was very satisfied. Right now, he was familiar with 200 types of medicinal plants of the Darkness Continent. This would be very helpful for his tour of the Darkness Continent.
For something like knowledge, no one would complain about having too much.
Because Lu Zhiruo had fallen asleep while leaning on Sun Mo's arm, Sun Mo felt that this could be considered to have increased his luck. Hence, he didn't touch her head anymore and directly opened the treasure chest.
The golden light was very dazzling, but only Sun Mo could see it. When it disappeared, a skill book floated in the air.
Ding!
"Congratulations on obtaining one of the four branches of the ancient massage technique, bone setting technique. Proficiency level: expert-grade."
"This technique involves all aspects of orthopedics, including bone setting, repairing bone damage, fractures, and long-term massage. It can increase bone strength, toughness, and height. It can be used to replace bones all over the body, or even to straighten teeth. Everything can be done."
The system explained calmly, but it revealed how powerful the bone setting technique was.
It was simply too amazing to be able to correct teeth just by massaging.
After Sun Mo heard this, he grew excited. He had finally obtained all the skill books for the four branches of the ancient massage technique.
Although the name didn't sound good and sounded like a masseuse, the effects were extremely good. Honestly speaking, Sun Mo felt that it wasn't too much to call it a divine skill.
Of course, the ancient massage technique couldn't cure all illnesses. Its versatility wasn't comparable to Divine Sight and Immemorial Vairocana. However, as long as it was used on the right patient, its effects would be extraordinarily powerful.
Sun Mo was able to turn danger into safety in the Central Province Academy, gain a stable footing, obtain the title of God Hands, and become the most famous new teacher. This was all because of the ancient massage technique.
"Do you want to learn it now?"
The system asked.
"Of course!"
Sun Mo was impatient.
There were no special effects. The skill book that appeared in front of Sun Mo's left eye that only he could see shattered with a bang. Countless motes of light burst forth and then gushed into Sun Mo's mind like a belt of light.
"Congratulations, you've already grasped the bone setting technique. Please climb to new heights on the path of massaging!"
The system congratulated.
"Are you asking me to become the masseuse champion?"
Sun Mo teased. He was in an extremely good mood.
"Master Level Muscleforge Technique, Specialist Level Circulation Technique, Master Level Living Blood Technique, Specialist Level Bone Setting Technique, and Master Level Basic Massage Technique. I've learned all of them, right?"
Sun Mo felt that if he were to open a massage parlor in the future, he'd definitely earn a lot of money. He'd only need to work for half an hour every day, massaging one client, and he'd charge a sky-high price.
"Perfect!"
Sun Mo almost couldn't help but snap his fingers.
"It's not the whole set."
The system poured a bucket of cold water on him at the right time.
"What do you mean?"
Sun Mo frowned.
"You've learned the four major branches and basic massage techniques, but there are still some branches that you haven't mastered!"
The system spoke in disdain. (The strength of the Absolute Great Teacher System isn't something an ant-like mortal like you can understand.)
"For example?"
Sun Mo asked.
"Cosmetic techniques include skin care, breast enlargement, buttocks enlargement, waist slimming, massage, burning fat, and so on. However, for cultivators, these are all dispensable aspects, so they are not important and are listed as extensions."
The system explained.
It looked down on these things, but it gave Sun Mo a shock.
If he learned it and opened a beauty salon, he'd probably be able to earn a lot of money in less than half a year.
Women were the most obsessed with beauty. Who wouldn't want beauty without any side effects? The crux was that after learning powerful cosmetic techniques, there was no need for him to watch porn. He could totally do it for real.
He heard that the trainers in the fitness centers didn't lack women, but he didn't know if this was true or false. Hence, Sun Mo felt that male doctors who knew cosmetic techniques should be of a higher class, right?
"Let me tell you, when you can touch thousands or even tens of thousands of women in a year, you will start to feel disgusted."
The system was joyful. "At that time, you will definitely feel disgusted when you see a woman's body and become a gay man."
"Scram!"
Sun Mo was just thinking about it casually. He was already very satisfied that he could learn the main body of the ancient massage technique.
After ascertaining that the system wouldn't reward any more treasure chests, Sun Mo closed his eyes and started to think about which subject would bring the greatest improvement to him and his students!
It wasn't easy for the system to reward him with a subject and directly raise his proficiency level to the grandmaster-grade. Hence, he had to make use of it to the extreme.
If he could use it as wool, he would do so!
...
In Jinling City, the personal soldiers of the provincial governor came out in full force.
At the sight of this scene, the passersby on the streets were all guessing which unlucky clan was about to be exterminated.
Because exterminating a clan meant that one would get rich, such matters were usually handled by the personal soldiers of the provincial governor.
Very soon, the answer was revealed. It was the Zhou Clan. The wealth they possessed was enough to rank within the top ten in the entire Jinling City.
The luxurious and majestic Zhou Clan's residence was currently in chaos.
"Old Master! Old Master! Something bad has happened! "
The butler ran over and hurriedly reported.
"What's the matter?"
In the study, Zhou Yuanzhi was entertaining a guest. When he saw how flustered the butler was, he immediately smashed his teacup over.
As a successful merchant, Zhou Yuanzhi believed in remaining calm in the face of danger. He ignored the butler and apologized to the guest, "This humble one doesn't know how to manage his subordinates properly. I've let Brother Wang see a joke."
If it was during normal times, the butler would have kowtowed and begged for mercy. But now, he couldn't do so. He directly shouted, "Old Master, the personal soldiers of the provincial governor have surrounded our residence."
"What?"
Zhou Yuanzhi revealed a shocked expression and stood up abruptly.
"Brother Zhou is really..."
That Brother Wang originally wanted to join in the fun and praise Zhou Yuanzhi for being strict. But when he heard the butler's words, his expression changed. The personal soldiers of the provincial governor? Didn't this mean that they were going to exterminate the clan?
With a swish, the one surnamed Wang stood up. He didn't even bother to bid farewell and directly ran out. At this moment, he didn't want to have anything to do with Zhou Yuanzhi.
"Brother Wang, wait a moment! Brother Wang, wait a moment! "
Zhou Yuanzhi shouted, but it was useless.
"Damn it, do you know how much money we can earn if we succeed in this business?"
Zhou Yuanzhi was flustered. He grabbed a teacup and ruthlessly smashed it onto the butler's head.
The butler screamed in agony and fell to the ground.
"Oh, Boss Zhou is so impressive!"
Governor Yu walked in with a majestic gait.
"Lord Yu, my small family can't take the shock. Why don't you..."
Zhou Yuanzhi glanced at the soldiers. The meaning behind his words was very simple. (Just retreat first. I also have a backer, so don't make things too tense.)
"Small family? After today, that bit of power in your family will be gone. "
Governor Yu was also a clever person. When he saw Zhou Yuanzhi's attitude wasn't good, he also started to speak with a thorny tone.
Zhou Yuanzhi's expression changed. (Are you trying to kill me?) Since things had already reached this point, he naturally wouldn't continue to pretend and directly shed all pretense of cordiality. "My son is at Prince Li's residence. I'll send someone to call him back now in case you guys think that he escaped and want to issue a wanted poster."
"Zhou Yuanzhi, stop struggling. This time around, the matter you are in is too big. Prime Minister Zheng is burning with anger and will personally act. No one will be able to save you."
Governor Yu coldly laughed and instructed his subordinates, "Do it!"
"Prime Minister Zheng?"
Zhou Yuanzhi's expression instantly turned as black as ink. (How did I offend this great god?)
A guard carried a wooden armchair over. Governor Yu sat down. As expected, it was Prince Li?
Actually, given Zhou Yuanzhi's current status, the number of people who could be his backing could be counted on one's fingers.
If Prime Minister Zheng wasn't involved, even if the Zhou Clan was found to be engaging in human trafficking, Governor Yu would turn a blind eye and pretend that he didn't see anything.
But now that Prime Minister Zheng was involved, Governor Yu could use this opportunity to kill.
Prince Li's influence in Jinling was great. It wouldn't be too much to say that he was the master of Jinling City. After all, this was the territory that he had managed for over 20 years. But the more it was like this, the more unhappy the Emperor was.
After all, everything in the world belonged to the Emperor. It was one thing for him to amass wealth and be a carefree prince, but what was the meaning of nurturing so many henchmen?
Governor Yu had been in office for two years and was very unhappy.
On the surface, the governor of Jinling was the highest-ranking official in Jinling. But when people talked about it, they only knew of Prince Li.
"Stop struggling. The Three Purities Monastery was destroyed, and your son Zhou Yong was there as well. Speaking of which, why didn't you guys kidnap someone? Kidnap Teacher Sun's student? Are you courting death? "
Governor Yu felt that Zhou Yong was really stubborn. Could it be that he was used to being arrogant and had started to get arrogant? Did he think that he could afford to offend anyone?
"Teacher Sun?"
Zhou Yuanzhi had a dumbfounded look on his face. (I know Teacher Sun is that birdman?) (Wait a minute, the teacher who fired my son a few days ago seems to be surnamed Sun?)
However, all of this was no longer important. After hearing the three words' Three Purities Monastery ', Zhou Yuanzhi instantly felt his scalp turning numb. The things that happened there must absolutely not be exposed!
"Tsk tsk, what a deceitful child!"
Governor Yu mocked.
...
A major merchant that the entire Jinling City knew about had his house raided. This was a major incident. In less than half a day, everyone knew about it.
Apricot Blossom Alley. Although it was called an alley, it was actually a city district.
Most of the influential people in Jinling stayed here. Also, Li Zixing's residence was the largest, occupying almost one-fifth of the entire Apricot Blossom Alley.
"Prince, the Zhou Clan was raided!"
The butler came to report.
"This day will eventually come. Since the Zhou Clan has fallen, we just have to support another one. It's just a matter of changing a money bag." Li Zixing, who had a scholarly look on his face, was playing chess by himself. "Remember, do it cleanly."
"Mn!"
The butler replied. He was already used to such a job.
"Is there anything else?"
Li Zixing frowned. Even his mood was disrupted.
"Little Prince Can is dead."
The butler braced himself and said it. There was no solution to it. His Highness had to know eventually.
"What?"
Li Zixing was badly shocked. "How did he die?"
"It's said that he was beaten to death by the women who rescued him."
The butler explained a little.
"Hehe, although Can 'er is ignorant and incompetent, a few weak women want to kill him? Are they dreaming? "
Li Zixing had a malevolent look on his face. With a pa sound, he flipped the chessboard.
Huala!
The black and white chess pieces rolled all over the ground.
"Go and investigate for me. If I find out, skin the entire family of the murderer alive."
Li Zixing admitted that this excuse was perfect.
Your son bullied women in a den of human traffickers and was killed in the end. What face do you have to complain? If it was anyone else, they would definitely try to cover up this matter and protect their own reputation so that it wouldn't be tarnished.
If it was a more ruthless clan head, they might even place righteousness before family.
"Prepare your son, I want to go to the provincial governor's manor!"
Li Zixing stood up. On the official side, it was true that he couldn't find trouble with the murderer. He still had to take the initiative to console those girls who were abducted and sold. After that, he had to portray his son as a hero who was preparing to sneak in to save those girls. However, due to a freak combination of factors, a misunderstanding occurred.
The Li Clan's reputation had to be preserved. Moreover, he had to spread the news that Li Can was killed in order to save those girls. After that, he had to frantically take revenge on those fellows who dared to provoke him. If not, those fellows would really think that he, Li Zixing, was a vegetarian!
"Zheng Qingfang, you have already retired. Why aren't you resting properly and spending your remaining years in peace? You are truly courting death!"
Li Zixing was enraged.
The butler lowered his head very low like an ostrich, pretending that he didn't hear anything.
The Li Clan's power was too great. In less than an hour, Li Zixin already knew the whole story.
"Because Zhou Yong was fired by a teacher with the surname Sun, he was so angry that he kidnapped Teacher Sun's students? In the end, all of them were killed by someone? "
After hearing his subordinate's report, Li Zixing was so angry that his hands were trembling.
How could there be such a troublesome child?
It was one thing if they were discovered after being investigated for a few years. However, they were discovered because of such a small problem. Wasn't this injustice?
"Sun Mo? To think that he is An Xinhui's fiancé? Interesting! "
Li Zixing coldly laughed as he listened to Sun Mo's background for the past two months. (God Hands? I'll make sure you have no hands soon. Also, that fool Cao Xian, why hasn't he annexed the Central Province Academy yet?)
Cao Xian was none other than the headmaster of the Myriad Daos Academy!
...
Zhang Residence.
During these few days, Zhang Hanfu didn't feel like going to school anymore. He would feel vexed whenever he saw Sun Mo's face.
"Father!"
Zhang Qianlin's footsteps were hurried.
"How many times have I said it? You have to be calm."
Zhang Hanfu lectured.
"Father, the Zhou Clan was raided."
How could Zhang Qianlin not be anxious? This was a major matter!
"Which Zhou Clan?"
Zhang Hanfu frowned.
"Zhou Yuanzhi, one of the top ten wealthiest people in Jinling!"
Zhang Qianlin sighed.
"What joke are you playing? How can such a wealthy merchant be raided just because they want to? "
Zhang Hanfu was badly shocked. During these two days, he was still considering if he should go and apologize. That way, he wouldn't feel embarrassed when he went to them to ask for donations after he got into power.
Zhang Hanfu was still thinking about what gift to bring, but now, he was told that the Zhou Clan was finished?
"It's true!"
Zhang Qianlin hurriedly told his father the news he heard. "I've gone to take a look. It's absolutely true. There's even a seal on the mahogany door of the Zhou Clan's manor."
"Human trafficking?"
Zhang Hanfu's countenance was grim. In order to boost his reputation and display his value, he would always say in front of the teachers that the Zhou Clan would donate one million taels to the Central Province Academy every year because they were friends.
Now that such a thing had happened, Zhang Hanfu's reputation would also drop.
In the past, if you were friends with a wealthy person, others would be envious and jealous of you. But now, if you were friends with a human trafficker, it would already be considered not bad if others didn't scold you behind your back.
"That damnable Zhou Yuanzhi. What's wrong with earning money? Earning money from human lives? "
Zhang Hanfu was almost angered to death.
"That's right, he's too inhumane."
Zhang Qianlin had paid a visit to the Zhou Clan in the past. He didn't expect that the kind and magnanimous Uncle Zhou was actually such a scum!
"How was I discovered?"
Zhang Hanfu asked Zhang Qianlin to explain in detail. When he heard that Zhou Yong had kidnapped Sun Mo's big-breasted female student, Zhang Hanfu was speechless.
Even this was possible?
Zhou Yuanzhi had a great reputation in the business world and had accumulated over a hundred million taels of wealth. Yet, he was defeated by Sun Mo?
It felt so fake. Wasn't this like an ant overturning a huge elephant?
"This time around, Sun Mo's reputation is going to skyrocket again. I heard that there are already people calling him the number one great teacher in the Central Province Academy."
Zhang Qianlin felt jealous.
For the sake of a student, Sun Mo had searched for her without rest for several days. In the end, he had single-handedly barged into the human traffickers' lair, killed the leader of the traffickers, and rescued his student. Such a great teacher story was simply too attractive.
Hearing this, Zhang Hanfu's eyelids twitched as he asked, "The tour to the Darkness Continent this time around..."
"I'll definitely not let him return alive!"
Zhang Qianlin's expression was malevolent. (Not only is An Xinhui mine, but the entire Central Province Academy will also be mine. Whoever blocks my path will die!)
...
After the student recruitment meet ended, Liu Mubai led a new student group and entered the Darkness Continent to train for the league tournament at the end of the year.
This time around, he had to get first place in the league tournament and bring the Central Province Academy up to the 'C' grade. After that, he had to get three stars in a day in the great teacher examination, breaking the record of the youngest great teacher to get three stars in a day.
Today was the first time Liu Mubai returned to school after two and a half months. As he walked toward the headmaster office to look for An Xinhui, he was thinking about his training plan and how he should let his students become stronger.
Very soon, Liu Mubai discovered that something was wrong.
In the past, when he entered the school, there would always be many girls sneaking glances at him. Some of the more daring ones would even pretend to be passing by and bow to him.
But today, there weren't any.
Liu Mubai smiled in self-mockery. (Could it be that I'm already past my prime?) Of course, this was just a joke. Given Liu Mubai's looks and talent, even if the Central Province Academy was finished, he wouldn't be past his prime.
"However, I won't let this school's name be delisted. I, Liu Mubai, will bring it back to the ranks of the Nine Greats."
Liu Mubai smiled confidently. All of a sudden, a voice of praise entered his ears, causing him to involuntarily slow down his footsteps.
"Teacher Liu is the number one in the Central Province!"
The person who spoke had a look of anger on his face. It was as if his idol had been insulted.
"Bullshit, Teacher Sun is the one!"
Someone immediately objected.
"Teacher Liu was once ranked 18th on the Greencloud Rankings. He came from the Black-White Academy, one of the Nine Greats, and graduated with an outstanding result of third place. He has extremely high attainments in sword arts. What does Teacher Sun have?"
Liu Mubai looked toward the direction of the voice. When he saw that the person who spoke was a short guy, he frowned slightly.
It was because Liu Mubai noticed that when this short guy mentioned Teacher Sun, he was very respectful. This meant that Teacher Sun's position in his heart wasn't low.
"Teacher Sun has God Hands!"
Someone added.
"The school Teacher Sun graduated from isn't good, and his battle prowess might be inferior to Teacher Liu. However, Teacher Sun's sense of justice is off the charts, and he loves his students!"
"That's right. Zhou Yong has been a school tyrant for over a year and bullied many students. Where did Teacher Liu go? However, Teacher Sun had just arrived and immediately fired him. "
"Teacher Sun is mighty and domineering!"
The students were still arguing. These were two groups of fans quarreling.
"Teacher Sun? Who is it? "
Liu Mubai hadn't been in school during this period of time, so he had no idea what had happened. Also, who was Zhou Yong? He seemed to be the son of a tycoon? School tyrant?
Liu Mubai was too arrogant. In his eyes, he only cared about elite students who could be nurtured into talents. He didn't care about the rest. Zhou Yong wasn't a fool and rarely found trouble with elite students. In addition, Zhou Yong was very obedient when facing Liu Mubai. Therefore, Liu Mubai basically didn't know this guy's character.
"Expelling Zhou Yong during the school meeting is just a small matter. In order to find the female students who had been abducted by the human traffickers, Teacher Sun racked his brains and displayed astonishing intelligence. Within a day, he found the human traffickers' nest through the clues and killed his way in alone."
"I heard that Teacher Sun wielded a wooden blade, but he killed with every blow, causing blood to flow like a river."
"In any case, he's extremely awesome!"
At this point, the students no longer cared about the short guy. Instead, they were discussing among themselves.
Only then did Liu Mubai realize that there were only three people on the short guy's side, which was half of the number of people on the other side. Didn't this mean that all the students who were his fans in the past had gone to support Teacher Sun?
"I don't care. Anyway, from today onward, in my heart, Teacher Sun will be the number one in the Central Province. There's no need to explain!"
The one who quarreled with the short guy earlier was clearly Sun Mo's hardcore fan.
Ding!
Favorable impression points from hardcore fan + 100. Friendly (100/1,000).
...
Ever since Sun Mo had rescued Lu Zhiruo, his fame had become even greater. Firstly, it was because Li Gong had acted on his own initiative to boost his popularity.
Right now, Li Gong was Sun Mo's number one lackey. As long as Sun Mo could become half the owner of the Central Province Academy, his status would naturally rise. Hence, he spared no effort.
Secondly, it was naturally Tantai Yutang, who wasn't afraid of blowing things up. Moreover, the topic of comparing Sun Mo and Liu Mubai among the students was intentionally stirred up by Tantai Yutang.
He felt that it would be more fun this way.
Li Ziqi also wanted to help her teacher increase his popularity, but she felt that her teacher would surely not like it. Hence, she didn't do it.
...
During these few days, Sun Mo didn't do anything and kept on receiving favorable impression points. Although it wasn't a lot and was only in the single digits, the number of favorable impression points was too high.
He should be reaching 50,000 favorable impression points soon. As long as he went out and gave a few students a massage, he would be able to reach it. However, Sun Mo didn't go because he was busy thinking about which subject he should choose.
During these few days, Sun Mo stayed in the library every day, reading through all the common subjects in the Nine Provinces Academy and understanding them in detail.
After analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of the six students, Sun Mo finally found a subject that could improve Li Ziqi and Lu Zhiruo the most.
There was no need to care about combat geniuses like Xuanyuan Po and Ying Baiwu. If the broken spirit runes on Jiang Leng's body couldn't be resolved in a day, cultivation would be a kind of pain instead. Tantai Yutang was a time bomb, and Sun Mo wouldn't put in all his effort for him.
These two fangirls were naturally the targets that Sun Mo would pay attention to.
"During this trip to the Darkness Continent, I must let the students grow up. After that, I'll let them shine in the newbie competition of the league tournament. Only then would I be able to live up to the trust they have in me."
Sun Mo had the pride of being a teacher. If he couldn't help them become the cream of the crop among their peers, he would be a failure as a teacher.
