"Oh!"
Jin Mujie felt gratified. She felt that her efforts weren't wasted. There were still people who understood her.
To put it bluntly, Jin Mujie wasn't a saint who had no desires. How could she not be moved when facing the spirit qi roaming dragon that was ranked 36th on the darkness mysterious species list?
One must know that Jin Mujie graduated from the Black-White Academy, one of the Nine Greats. She was a true genius and was famous even in the great teacher world of Jinling. If she went to the Coldwave Pool, many people would be worried to death. It was because she was one of the experts who had the ability to snatch the spirit qi roaming dragon.
However, Jin Mujie had given up this opportunity in order to bring the student group for training. It was impossible for her not to feel regret. The most important thing was that people like Yi Jiamin and Zhang Qianlin were complaining about her. This made her feel even more unhappy.
When she saw Sun Mo's admiring gaze, Jin Mujie understood that this was a man who understood her good intentions and knew what she had given up.
With a gratified smile, Jin Mujie picked up the straw mushroom and ate it.
"This..."
Yi Jiamin was dumbfounded. Jin Mujie actually ate the straw mushroom that Sun Mo picked up?
"Teacher Jin wouldn't have a thing going on with Teacher, right?"
Li Ziqi was shocked.
"Even this is possible?"
Zhou Shanyi's heart was filled with curses, trampling on his thoughts. An old man like him couldn't stand such a scene.
"What's wrong?"
Jin Mujie frowned and swept her gaze across the crowd.
Swoosh!
Everyone lowered their heads and continued eating.
"Ridiculous!"
In truth, Jin Mujie was in a daze, thinking that Sun Mo was very understanding and didn't notice that Sun Mo was using his own chopsticks to pick up the straw mushroom.
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Jin Mujie + 30. Friendly (140/1,000).
"..."
Sun Mo was speechless and couldn't understand. It was already good that Jin Mujie didn't reprimand him for being rude. Why did she contribute favorable impression points?
Could it be that she was also a masochist like Gu Xiuxun? Or did she like to eat men's saliva?
Lunch ended in this strange atmosphere. After that, everyone got ready and split into two groups, heading toward the Spiritwind Canyon.
This canyon occupied a large area, and the terrain was complex. As a result, the distribution of spiritual energy here was complex and ever-changing. In one second, it might only be one-tenth of the normal spiritual pressure, but after turning around a small hill, the spiritual pressure might explosively increase by more than five times.
Due to this strange phenomenon, the Spiritwind Canyon became a training ground for cultivators who were entering the Darkness Continent for the first time.
As long as they stayed in the Spiritwind Canyon for ten days and got used to the ever-changing spirit qi tides here, it wouldn't be too much of a problem for them to venture into the first level of the Darkness Continent.
As this was a trial, there were naturally no carriages for them to sit in. Even Jin Mujie had to walk as an example.
"Hurry up, we must reach the Spiritwind Canyon before nightfall."
Jin Mujie urged.
The students were panting heavily. They couldn't be bothered to talk and were all focused on their journey.
Jin Mujie had the intention to test the limits of these freshmen. Hence, the speed at which they advanced was very fast. At the start, everyone was still able to keep up. But an hour later, a difference started to appear.
The first to fall behind was Li Ziqi.
Li Ziqi, whose athletic ability was extremely bad, had fallen three times within such a short period of time. She even grazed her palms.
"Tell me if you can't hold on any longer!"
Sun Mo came to the little sunny egg's side.
"I'm fine!"
Li Ziqi gritted her teeth and held on. As her athletic ability wasn't good, she would always fall. Hence, as time passed, the little sunny egg started to reject outdoor activities. This also caused her physical fitness to be very bad.
Sun Mo increased his speed and caught up to the group.
"Where's Xuanyuan Po?"
Sun Mo didn't see anyone.
"He ran to the front, saying that he wants to get first place."
Ying Baiwu didn't understand Xuanyuan Po's mentality. Even if he got first place, there wouldn't be any reward. He might as well follow behind slowly.
One couldn't help but say that the iron-headed girl who grew up as a coolie had an explosive physical strength. She was able to move with ease even at this speed.
The other students were all so tired that they looked like dead dogs.
...
In her field of vision, the large group of people had already disappeared. Not even a tail could be seen.
"Li Ziqi, you're not allowed to cry!"
The little sunny egg lifted her hand and wiped away her tears. She warned herself, "I mustn't throw Teacher's face."
A sense of despair gradually crept up her heart. (Could it be that there's really no other way for my body?) She then thought of the words of that secondary saint.
"For a person like her, no matter how good her brain is, if she can't reach the Longevity Realm and live to a hundred years old, what's the use?"
Other people would be in the prime of their lives at 500 years old and be full of energy, but Li Ziqi would lose all her teeth at 70 years old. She wouldn't even be able to digest porridge. What's the use no matter how good her brain is?
Moreover, at that time, her brain would probably fall off.
"Why am I so clumsy? What did I do wrong? Why does the heavens want to punish me like this? "
Li Ziqi had thought that after reaching the second level of the body-refinement realm, her body would improve. But now, when compared to those students at the same level as her, she wasn't even comparable to trash.
Because she was distracted, Li Ziqi tripped and fell to the ground again.
Usually, Li Ziqi would still struggle a little. But now, her heart was like dead ashes.
Bang!
Li Ziqi fell to the ground. After that, she hugged her head and started crying.
"I'm really a trash."
Li Ziqi kept banging her forehead against the ground. She hated herself for being so useless.
"Wow, is her mental state collapsing? Should I go out and console her? But if I see her in such an embarrassing state, she wouldn't kill me to silence me, right? "
Tantai Yutang was a sickly invalid. Rushing here like this was extremely tiring. However, he had always been frivolous and didn't care about rules. When he was tired, he would rest. As for whether he would be reprimanded for not arriving at the Spiritwind Canyon on time, he didn't care at all.
However, just as Tantai Yutang was feeling conflicted, Sun Mo came.
...
"There's no perfect and flawless person in the world."
Sun Mo didn't help Li Ziqi up. He stood before her and looked at her. If she couldn't step over this hurdle, it was useless no matter who helped her.
Li Ziqi, who had always respected Sun Mo, didn't reply for the first time. Her body trembled a little because of shyness and panic. But after that, she gave up and continued to lie there like a salted fish.
"Are we living for the sake of being perfect and flawless people? In any case, I'm not. I just want to do the things I like and then have achievements in these things. "
Sun Mo's tone was like the warm wind of spring, blowing onto Li Ziqi's body.
Tantai Yutang's lips twitched. He liked this sentence.
"Isn't your dream to collect a lot of books and then build the largest library in the Nine Provinces? What does it matter if your athletic ability is good or not? In any case, wouldn't it be fine as long as you don't get smashed by the falling books?
Sun Mo teased, "You can't possibly be unable to dodge even this, right?"
"Of course I can dodge it!"
After Li Ziqi said that, she felt guilty again. Maybe, she really wouldn't be able to dodge it because she had the experience of being smashed by books before.
"Doing the things you like and doing it to the best of your ability, in my opinion, is a meaningful life. Why must you live according to other people's standards?"
Sun Mo looked at Li Ziqi. "Don't care if you're at the Longevity Realm or how long you can live. Living every day to the fullest is more important in my opinion.
"Some people live for hundreds of years but don't die, achieving nothing. Some people, although they only live for a few years, are as dazzling as the first rays of dawn or the sunset glow. If I had to choose, I'd rather have a lifespan of a few tens of years and live a life where I have to fight for my ideals every day."
"Teacher, it's easy for you to say that. Given your talent, it's no problem for you to step into the Longevity Realm. You'll be able to live for at least another 500 years."
Li Ziqi rolled her eyes.
"At that time, I'll go and guard the door of the library for you!"
Sun Mo smiled. Although Li Ziqi was grumbling, there was no more grief in her tone. There was a light and joyful tone.
"No, I can't afford the salary of a secondary saint or even a saint."
Li Ziqi pouted. Maybe it was because she thought of the scene of Sun Mo guarding the door for her and then being scolded badly by her, the librarian, she couldn't help but burst out laughing.
A big hand stretched out before her eyes.
Li Ziqi grabbed it and immediately felt the warmth of the hand. After that, she was pulled up by Sun Mo.
"Ziqi, in my opinion, cultivation is a matter of unceasingly breaking through one's limits and pursuing a higher level. It could be a matter of the body or a matter of the spirit."
Sun Mo squatted down and helped the little sunny egg to pat off the dust on her uniform.
"Teacher!"
Li Ziqi wanted to retreat, but she couldn't bear to. Right now, regardless of whether it was her teacher's words or actions, he was really considerate and gentle.
The little sunny egg felt a little tipsy.
"Eh?"
Tantai Yutang didn't wish to eavesdrop on their conversation. He had wanted to leave, but after hearing this, he stopped in his tracks. This theory was really novel.
"Cultivators are all pursuing immortality, right? But how can it be considered immortality? Is it considered as just living? Or is it considered as having an everlasting spirit? "
Sun Mo counter-asked.
Hearing this question, Li Ziqi's spirit stirred and she immediately sank into contemplation. Immortality could also be considered as having an everlasting spirit?
However, her teacher was really impressive. He had actually started to consider such a profound question?
"If having an everlasting spirit is also considered immortality, then is there a method to cultivate to this stage?"
Sun Mo asked.
"How is that possible?"
Li Ziqi subconsciously rejected it. This was simply unheard of.
"Why is it impossible?"
Sun Mo counter-asked.
"Because the current cultivation method is to temper one's body to achieve eternal life."
Li Ziqi explained.
"Where did these cultivation methods come from?"
Sun Mo asked.
"Eh!"
Li Ziqi was speechless. She then started trembling uncontrollably. Because she was very intelligent, she thought of a possibility.
Tantai Yutang's brows were furrowed so tightly that they could almost wipe out a whole nest of crabs. He had also thought of a possibility.
"You've thought of it, right? These cultivation methods are also concluded by the wise men of the past. In that case, why can't we come up with a set of cultivation methods that can be cultivated through the spirit? "
Sun Mo stood up and looked toward the sky.
There was a dazzling aurora there, and it was extremely colorful.
Li Ziqi didn't say anything, but her heart was thumping wildly. It was because Sun Mo had opened a door to a new world for her.
(That's right, why can't I cultivate through the spirit?)
"Ziqi, this world has endless possibilities. You didn't see the path to the future because you haven't found it. But once you give up, there'll really be nothing left."
Sun Mo lowered his head and looked at the little sunny egg.
If this girl lived in his world, given her super high intellect, she'd definitely be able to achieve extraordinary accomplishments and bring great contributions to humanity.
(No, who says that it's impossible in this world?)
Intellect was the most precious wealth of humanity. It was also a type of power!
Bzz!
Priceless Advice was automatically activated.
A layer of faint golden light lit up on Sun Mo's body. After that, it radiated out and shone on Li Ziqi's body.
The little sunny egg's thoughts were like tidal waves. All sorts of thoughts rose and fell. (That's right, I shouldn't keep looking at the path that the predecessors have taken. Since I can't walk it, I'll walk the path that belongs to me. Although this is very difficult, as long as I walk it, there'll definitely be hope.)
(In the future, or rather, right now, there will be many people like me who don't have good athletic abilities. Could it be that we have to wallow in self-pity and give up?)
(No, I want to continue walking down this path. Even if I can't find this path in the end, I can leave my experience to the people who come after me. I believe that one day, we'll be able to find a path that belongs to us, the 'crippled' cultivators.)
(That's right, we shouldn't give up in life. If we continue walking down this path, we'll definitely encounter a rainbow!)
When she thought of this, Li Ziqi smiled. She no longer felt sad or worried. Instead, she had a new ideal and goal!
At this moment, the little sunny egg's thoughts were clear. She was willing to be a pioneer and dedicate her life to the people who came after her.
"Let me go and overcome all the obstacles first. I don't ask for flowers or applause. I just hope that I won't see the tears of the 'next Li Ziqi'."
Li Ziqi mumbled, but her voice was powerful and resonant.
Sun Mo felt very gratified. Looking at the little sunny egg's expression, he knew that she had thought things through. Just when Sun Mo wanted to pat her head and encourage her, a resplendent golden light suddenly shot out from the little sunny egg's body.
BOOM!
At this moment, Li Ziqi's body seemed to be cast from gold.
"This... this..."
Sun Mo was stunned. This seemed to be the phenomenon when one comprehended the self-taught halo. But how old was Li Ziqi? She was 13 years old!
One must know that comprehending the self-taught halo meant that one had the qualifications to teach and educate others. One could become a great teacher or even a saint, enlightening everyone in the world.
Li Ziqi had just joined the school for three months, but she had actually comprehended the self-taught halo? Wasn't this a little too terrifying?
But very soon, Sun Mo guessed the reason.
Li Ziqi was too smart and had a photographic memory. She loved to read books. Hence, although she was only 13 years old, she had already read too many books.
Because of her family background, Li Ziqi's family didn't lack books. She would be able to read all the rare books that others couldn't get their hands on.
These books and knowledge had already been deeply imprinted in her mind. Moreover, the frustration of being the last to arrive on the journey today caused her to lose control of her emotions.
If it was other teachers, they would persuade and console her. However, Sun Mo didn't. He, who came from a different world, had a different understanding of the concept of cultivation. Hence, he said it out loud.
This brand new concept gave Li Ziqi a huge impact. It simply refreshed the little sunny egg's view of the world, opening up a door to a new world before her.
Naturally, if it was only until here, Li Ziqi wouldn't be able to comprehend the self-taught halo. However, she was a kind girl. She didn't want those children who didn't have athletic abilities to be as helpless as her. Hence, she decided to sacrifice herself and find a path for everyone.
This mentality was precisely the mentality of a great teacher. They didn't ask for anything in return and were willing to sacrifice themselves.
Hence, the self-taught halo was activated.
Some things germinated in Li Ziqi's mind and were deeply imprinted. This allowed her to have a new understanding and understanding of this world.
After the halo vanished, Li Ziqi lowered her head and bowed deeply.
"Teacher, thank you for your guidance!"
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Li Ziqi + 10000. Reverence (11111/100000).
"How much?"
Sun Mo almost called out. (10000? Did I hear it wrongly? This was the greatest amount of favorable impression points he had ever received.)
The system didn't say anything, but it witnessed the entire scene. After that, it once again believed that the host this time around had finally found the right person.
"I'm only saying what I should say. The main thing is that you are smart."
Sun Mo wasn't trying to flatter her. He was truly envious of Li Ziqi's intelligence and mentality. She was truly a kind and mature girl.
The bodhi tree was there, but why was it that only Sakyamuni was able to comprehend and become a buddha under the tree? To put it bluntly, the tree wasn't important. Sakyamuni was still the most impressive.
Li Ziqi was the same.
"Sun Mo, you are being too humble."
The system sighed ruefully. Without Sun Mo, Li Ziqi might also comprehend the self-taught halo. But how long would that take? One year? Three years? Or ten years?
An outstanding great teacher was someone who wouldn't let their students take the wrong path.
"Hehe!"
Li Ziqi grabbed her hair and suddenly felt a little embarrassed. But after that, she looked at her hands excitedly and felt extremely agitated. "Teacher, I seem to have comprehended the self-taught skill. I can be considered half a teacher now, right?"
"Not half a teacher, but a teacher!"
Sun Mo was certain.
It was extremely difficult to comprehend the self-taught halo. It required both strength and mental state. Hence, once such students appeared, they would be heavily nurtured by the school.
Their school fees, food, and lodging expenses would all be exempted. Moreover, the school would even give out a generous amount of financial aid to such students every year.
There was no need to be afraid that the school would renege on the debt. Students who comprehended the self-taught halo were all treasures and would be fought over by other schools.
"Hehe, but I don't want to be a teacher. I want to continue to be Teacher's student!"
Li Ziqi hugged Sun Mo's arm.
"You might even become a 1-star great teacher before me!"
Sun Mo teased.
"Even if I become a saint, I'll still be Teacher's student!"
After Li Ziqi spoke, she hesitated a little but still spoke up, "Teacher, can I hug you?"
"Aren't you hugging me?"
Sun Mo was astonished.
"No, it's that kind of hug!"
After Li Ziqi spoke, she gritted her teeth and didn't wait for Sun Mo to agree. She directly hugged his waist and pressed her face against his chest.
There are tears, quietly sliding down.
In the past, when she was clumsy and couldn't do what those great teachers asked of her, they would console her. However, Li Ziqi knew that they were disappointed in their hearts.
In their eyes, he was just a piece of trash. Even his own father thought so.
However, Teacher Sun Mo didn't. He encouraged her, consoled her, and even thought of solutions for her...
Li Ziqi hugged Sun Mo tightly and thought of that dusk when she first met Sun Mo at Yunting Lake.
"I'm really too lucky to be able to meet Teacher Sun Mo in this lifetime!"
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Li Ziqi + 1,000. Reverence (12111/100000).
"Note: Because Li Ziqi's favorable impression points have reached reverence, in the future, if you receive favorable impression points, unless it's an extremely important matter, you won't be notified anymore."
Tantai Yutang, who was behind the huge rock, was dumbfounded. Given his knowledge, he naturally recognized this great teacher halo. However, he didn't dare to be sure because Li Ziqi's age was simply too young.
"Should I say that Sun Mo is proficient in pointing out the right path? Or should I admire Li Ziqi's overflowing talent? "
Tantai Yutang sighed ruefully. Honestly speaking, he was very envious of Li Ziqi right now. It was because comprehending the self-taught halo wasn't something that could be achieved through learning. It could only be achieved through comprehension.
Tantai Yutang definitely had knowledge, but no one knew when he would be able to achieve it in terms of mental state.
"Sun Mo is really impressive!"
Tantai Yutang cast a final glance at Sun Mo and left silently. He had initially acknowledged this teacher for fun, but from the looks of things now, he might have hit the mark by a stroke of luck.
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Tantai Yutang + 100. Friendly (410/1,000).
Hearing the sudden notification, Sun Mo frowned slightly. However, when he saw Tantai Yutang leaving silently, he pretended not to have seen it.
"Teacher, this matter of me comprehending the self-taught halo is a secret between the two of us. I don't wish for others to know about it."
Li Ziqi pleaded.
Sun Mo fell silent, thinking that it was too late. A third party had already seen it.
"Is that alright?"
Li Ziqi asked coquettishly.
"Alright, I won't tell others."
Sun Mo nodded.
"Hehe!"
Li Ziqi was happy and pulled Sun Mo's hand. "Then let's continue on our way. Although we can't become the first, at least we can't become the last."
The little sunny egg's mental state had improved, but her strength hadn't. Even if she comprehended the self-taught halo, it wouldn't allow her speed to increase. Therefore, she was still the last to arrive at the Spiritwind Canyon.
"I can't even be compared to a sickly invalid!"
Li Ziqi felt depressed.
"Eldest Martial Sister, it's been hard on you!"
Lu Zhiruo passed a water sack over. However, she was stunned after that. "Eldest Martial Sister, what's wrong with you?"
"What's wrong with me?"
Li Ziqi's gaze wandered about, feeling a little guilty.
"I feel that your disposition has changed. Mn, you have the feeling of a teacher now!"
Lu Zhiruo surveyed the little sunny egg.
"You are thinking too much!"
Li Ziqi denied, but she was greatly surprised in her heart. Wasn't the papaya girl's intuition a little too sharp? In a few more years, she might even be able to find a thief hiding in the crowd with just a casual glance.
Sun Mo had planned to go to the campsite to take a look and familiarize himself with the terrain. However, the system's notification rang out.
Ding!
"Congratulations, because you helped Li Ziqi improve, she comprehended the self-taught halo and completed the achievement, allowing a student to become a teacher. Special reward: 1x mysterious treasure chest!"
"Congratulations, because you obtained 10,000 favorable impression points in a single attempt, you are rewarded with 1x diamond treasure chest!"
Two large treasure chests that shone with brilliant light appeared before Sun Mo.
"Should I open the chest? Or should I open the chest? "
Sun Mo mumbled and went to look for his lucky mascot. How could he endure something like opening a chest? That was a mysterious treasure chest. It would definitely contain good stuff!
