"Beautifully done!"
Zhang Qianlin, who had been watching from the side, wanted to give Yi Jiamin a thumbs up. This guy wasn't bad. When he returned, he could tell his father to promote him.
Zhang Qianlin had suffered a setback because of the spirit rune potted plants previously. Therefore, he had learned his lesson. He knew that the fishtea grass was an opportunity, but he didn't jump out to rebuke Sun Mo.
It seemed that his father was right. He should raise more dogs and let them charge and break through enemy lines. Even if something went wrong, he would still have room to turn things around.
Yi Jiamin glanced at Zhang Qianlin and saw his encouraging gaze. He was immediately overjoyed. His targeting of Sun Mo hadn't gone to waste.
However, it didn't feel good to be someone's fighter. However, there was no helping it. His family had no power, influence, or money. If he wished to climb up, he had to grab hold of all opportunities.
Even if this opportunity might be a trap, he had to jump in.
Due to the reason that he wanted to get into Zhang Qianlin's good books and also because of his personal grudge with Sun Mo, Yi Jiamin found an opportunity to fire at him.
"However, Sun Mo is definitely going to suffer a setback this time around, right? Even Zhou Shanyi said that the fishtea grass isn't poisonous. I want to see how you're going to turn things around. "
Yi Jiamin didn't want to see Sun Mo admit his lack of knowledge and apologize so straightforwardly. The more he quibbled and didn't admit his mistakes, the more people would feel that he wasn't a good person.
"Teacher Sun, are you sure that the fishtea grass is poisonous?"
In the education that Jin Mujie had received, the fishtea grass wasn't poisonous. However, during this period of interaction, she trusted Sun Mo and knew that he wasn't a young man who spoke without thinking. He was very reliable. Therefore, she asked solemnly. After all, a few of her students had eaten this thing.
It'd be bad if something were to happen.
"The toxicity of fishtea grass is weak, and there won't be a problem if you eat some during normal times. However, in early autumn, at noon, when the sun is shining, the toxicity in the fishtea grass will reach the highest concentration. Oh, you can understand it as the secretion of the toxins is the highest. At this time, if you fry it at high temperatures, the toxins will completely evaporate."
Sun Mo explained.
Something like fishtea grass had no medicinal value, and its taste was mediocre. It was not a delicacy, and furthermore, it was a plant that was commonly seen in nature. Therefore, herbalists, doctors, and alchemists would not conduct in-depth research on it.
There was no other reason, it was because they had no value. If they had the time, they might as well research those precious darkness medicinal plants. If they were to discover a new medicinal value, not only would they be able to make a huge profit, but they would also be able to leave their names in the Medicine Encyclopedia.
To be honest, who didn't want to compile a classic work similar to the Compendium of Materia Medica that could be handed down from generation to generation?
"You sound like you're serious!"
"Could the fishtea grass really be poisonous?"
"Teacher Sun doesn't seem like someone who speaks without thinking."
The students muttered among themselves.
"Oh? There's such a saying? "
Duan Meng was curious. "Which plant encyclopedia recorded this?"
"There are no records!"
Sun Mo shook her head.
Duan Meng frowned. What did he mean? So you were the one who made it up?
"Hehe, Teacher Sun, I admit that your study of spirit runes and your Ancient Dragon Capturing Hands are very amazing, and I'm ashamed of my inferiority. However, this has nothing to do with herbology!"
Yi Jiamin sneered, "Could it be that you're a herbology expert?"
In the Middle-Earth Nine Provinces, there were the Hundred Schools of Thought and a myriad of disciplines. Herbalists were also a type of great teacher. Moreover, after passing the Saint Gate's examination, they could even obtain the honorary title of herbology expert. Such great teachers were usually authoritative figures in the field of herbology.
If a herbology expert said that the fishtea grass was poisonous, everyone would definitely believe it. However, what was Sun Mo? He probably wouldn't even be able to name these plants.
Sun Mo recalled the title of 'herbology expert' that the system had given him and subconsciously nodded.
"Pffft!"
Yi Jiamin burst out laughing. "What do you mean by that?"
"I didn't know that Teacher Sun is proficient in herbology, and you're even an expert. I've been disrespectful!"
Zhang Qianlin smiled. This guy must have been living too smoothly recently and thus became extremely arrogant. Do you think that it's so easy to get the title of herbology expert?
How many herbalists were there in the entire Nine Provinces? There were countless, but the Saint Gate would at most give out over ten 'herbology expert' honorary certificates every year.
From this, one could tell how precious this title was.
If Sun Mo was really so amazing, why would he still be teaching spirit runes? He could just display the herbology expert certificate and the lecture hall would be filled up in no time.
"Sigh!"
Zhou Shanyi sighed. Sun Mo was boasting a little too much. How old was he? He was only 20 years old, yet his attainments in the Ancient Dragon Capturing Hands and the study of spirit runes were already so high. He must have spent a lot of time and effort to learn them.
Everyone had already acknowledged Sun Mo's talent, so he no longer needed other honors. Boasting that he was a herbology expert was a little superfluous.
As a doctor, Zhou Shanyi knew quite a bit about herbology. However, he gave up after taking the exam twice because it was too difficult.
"Teacher Sun, since you said that the fishtea grass is poisonous, then may I ask when the poison in our bodies will act up?"
Yi Jiamin was overbearing.
Sun Mo raised his head and looked at the sky. "This will have to depend on the individual's physique. At the latest, at midnight, there will definitely be students who won't feel well."
Hearing that Sun Mo really gave a time with a calm expression, Yi Jiamin frowned slightly for an instant, starting to suspect if he was really wrong. However, at this moment, it was hard to get off the tiger. He could only brace himself and continue.
"Alright, I'll wait for midnight then."
As Yi Jiamin spoke, he picked up another piece of fried egg and tossed it into his mouth. The mocking intent was self-evident. (I'll eat it and I'll be fine when I see it. How are you going to argue?!)
"You guys eat it too. It's fine!"
Yi Jiamin urged a few students.
She felt that the fishtea grass wasn't poisonous. Therefore, it was better to change the topic and play down this matter in case Yi Jiamin continued to pursue it.
"I've received your kind intentions. You can go and eat!"
Sun Mo indicated for Hu Ming to stop wasting time here. He also didn't say that the fried eggs with fishtea grass couldn't be eaten. It was because no one would believe him even if he said that.
"Teacher, if these fried eggs are poisonous, will they be fine after eating them?"
Lu Zhiruo was worried.
"It'll be fine!"
Sun Mo drank the porridge. If one consumed too much fishtea grass, they wouldn't die from the poison. At most, they would suffer from diarrhea until they collapsed. In the most serious cases, they might have some blood in their stools, but they definitely wouldn't die.
"This is how ignorant people are. It's useless no matter how much you say. After they've suffered, they'll believe the truth."
Tantai Yutang sneered.
Because of this interlude, the atmosphere during lunch wasn't considered good. However, after the meal, Jin Mujie started a lecture. The students immediately forgot about this matter and focused fully on their studies.
At dusk, after dinner, it was time for Pei Yuanli's lecture. At 8 pm, they would have free time.
Sun Mo called his six personal students before him. "I'm going to talk about the art of spiritual beast control next. Those who aren't interested can choose not to learn."
"Teacher, how many subjects do you know exactly?"
Tantai Yutang couldn't hold it in anymore. If one's standard wasn't high enough, teaching students would produce the opposite effect.
"Are you doubting Teacher?"
Li Ziqi frowned.
"Teacher is only 20 years old this year, right? You can do the math yourself. Medical Cultivation, the study of spirit runes, and the art of spiritual beast control. Oh right, there's also a herbology expert. Other teachers might not be proficient in a single subject even if they don't eat and sleep for 20 years! "
The meaning behind Tantai Yutang's words was very clear. If one were to thicken their skin and teach students without reaching proficiency, they would be misleading their students.
Lu Zhiruo couldn't hear the sarcasm in Tantai Yutang's words and thought that he was praising Sun Mo. Therefore, she added, "Teacher is also at the fourth level of the blood-ignition realm. He didn't even neglect his cultivation."
"Cut the crap. If you're not interested, go and play!"
Sun Mo couldn't be bothered to explain.
Tantai Yutang shrugged, got up, and walked toward the stream.
Xuanyuan Po and Jiang Leng also left.
"These three b * stards!"
Li Ziqi gritted her teeth. They really didn't leave any face for Sun Mo.
"I'm going to use Soul Imprint to impart the basic knowledge of the art of spiritual beast control into your minds. If there's anything you don't understand, you can bring it up and I'll answer."
After Sun Mo spoke, his right fist glowed with a milky-white light. After that, he punched into the minds of the three female students.
Such a teaching method actually had a requirement for the students' aptitude. If they were too stupid, it would cause brain damage if they were to receive such a huge amount of knowledge at once.
Of course, Li Ziqi and the other two definitely wouldn't have any problems.
After the two-hour lesson ended, Sun Mo assigned a small assignment. "Go and communicate with a small animal. Get it to stand guard for you guys at night."
The bright moon hung high in the sky, and the night sky engulfed the land.
It was time to sleep, but none of the freshmen from the Central Province Academy went to rest. All of them were working hard. Jin Mujie felt very gratified.
No matter how talented a student was, if they couldn't endure hardships, they were destined not to succeed.
Around midnight, the students went to sleep one after another.
Hu Ming had just gotten into his sleeping bag and fell asleep when his stomach churned and he felt a little pain. He tried to endure it, but he couldn't. He got up and ran out of the campsite to do the toilet.
Thankfully, it was early autumn and the weather wasn't cold. If he were to run out to do the toilet in the middle of the night during winter, his buttocks would have turned green from the cold.
15 minutes later, Hu Ming finished the food in his stomach and returned to his bed. However, not long later, he couldn't take it anymore.
"The fishtea grass wouldn't really be poisonous, right?"
Hu Ming felt a little uneasy.
For the next half of the night, Hu Ming passed the cycle of waking up, doing the toilet, and going back to sleep. As he was the one who made the fried eggs, he ate the most.
"F * ck!"
Hearing the crickets' cries, Hu Ming got up once again and walked out of the campsite with his legs swaying. As he was too weak, he didn't walk too far this time around. After leaving the campsite, he found a big tree and walked over, then took off his pants. However, he had just made a squatting motion when a pair of big hands pressed down on his buttocks.
"There's someone!"
Zhao Feng reminded him.
"F * ck!"
Hu Ming cried out in fright. He hurriedly pulled up his pants and scurried forward, turning his head to look over.
"It's me!"
Zhao Feng cursed angrily. He was dozing off as he squatted, but who knew that a hot buttocks would suddenly sit down, almost scaring him to death.
"You pooped too?"
Hu Ming frowned.
"This is the third time."
Zhao Feng's lips twitched. "That fishtea grass might really be poisonous.
"Regardless of whether it's poisonous or not, I'm not eating it anymore!"
Hu Ming sighed. He had suffered quite a bit tonight. As he spoke, he prepared to leave.
"Eh? Where are you going? "
Zhao Feng was curious.
"Pooping!"
Hu Ming put on an expression as if he had never seen it before.
"How about we settle it here?"
Zhao Feng moved to the side.
"…"
Hu Ming was speechless. Even if you don't find it smelly, I do.
"Hey, your butt isn't bad. Let's poo together when we're free!"
Seeing that Hu Ming had left, Zhao Feng called out again, feeling very regretful.
