"You even added more salt?"
Li Ziqi rolled her eyes. "Are you a devil?"
"What loach? Do the loaches in your house know how to spit water arrows?"
Sun Mo wanted to roast, but he soon realized that something was wrong. This was the Darkness Continent, and loaches really knew how to spit water arrows.
"Ah? It's the little loachie, don't catch it! "
Lu Zhiruo hurriedly ran to the side of the pond and pleaded to Xuanyuan Po, "Don't scare it!"
Huala!
Xuanyuan Po came out of the water with an unfriendly look on his face. He kept turning his head to and fro, searching for traces of the loach. There was a red mark on his face. Clearly, he was hit by the loach's tail.
Baji!
The loach jumped onto the shore beside Lu Zhiruo and crawled toward her.
"Little loachie!"
The papaya girl checked the loach and heaved a sigh of relief after discovering that it wasn't injured.
Jiji!
The loach let out a strange sound toward Xuanyuan Po.
"Little Po, it's mocking you. I feel that you should chop it into two, steam one half and braise the other half!"
Tantai Yutang teased. After all, there weren't many chances to see Xuanyuan Po suffering a setback.
"What's going on?"
Sun Mo frowned.
Li Ziqi hurriedly explained. As Sun Mo was a teacher, the little sunny egg didn't dare to hide anything. She even told him that she spent a spirit stone to buy the loach.
"A spirit stone? You guys really dare to waste money! "
Tantai Yutang shook his head.
"Teacher, you can scold me!"
Lu Zhiruo lowered her head. "But little loachie can't be eaten!"
Jiji!
The loach was like a snake, coiling around the papaya girl's arm and baring its teeth at Sun Mo. Clearly, it was protecting the papaya girl.
"Why would I scold you?"
Sun Mo waved his hand, indicating for the three girls to go and play. What did buying a loach count for? When Sun Mo was a teacher in No. 2 High School, he had heard of too many weird little girls.
At such a young age, buying luxury goods and cosmetics wasn't a problem at all. There were even crazy ones who stole money from their families to get plastic surgery.
Compared to the papaya girl, this bit of money she squandered was nothing. Besides, her original intention was to save the fish. She just didn't know if this loach would be like the white snake and turn into a beautiful woman to repay her kindness.
(Sigh, ever since I came to the Middle-Earth Nine Provinces, I can't even watch a movie anymore. However, there are also benefits here. If one cultivated to the extreme, they would be able to soar into the sky, tunnel into the earth, and move mountains and seas. Such prowess was something that even the top-notch special effects team in America wouldn't be able to create.)
Sun Mo tossed a giant medicine packet into the water.
Jiang Leng and Tantai Yutang immediately sat upright and still, starting to soak in the bath. They didn't wish to waste even a hint of spirit qi essence.
The Spring Water Giant appeared. Xuan Yuan Po let out a strange cry and was the first to pounce.
Bang!
The two fists collided, and the hot and humid aura spread out, wrapping around the combat addict. It was so comfortable that he almost cried out.
"This is so comfortable!"
Tantai Yutang couldn't hold it in any longer and let out a moan. He really wanted to die in this pool.
After the three students crushed the water giant, Sun Mo immediately instructed, "Tantai, lie down. I'll give you a massage."
"Thank you, teacher!"
Tantai Yutang had a mischievous smile on his face, but he felt a hint of gratitude in his heart.
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Tantai Yutang + 100. Friendly (640/1,000).
The genie appeared. It looked at the sickly invalid's thin and weak body and directly spat out a mouthful of saliva. After that, it stretched out its two index fingers in disdain and began to massage the sickly invalid.
"..."
Sun Mo was speechless. (Aren't you discriminating against people a little too much?)
When it was Xuan Yuan Po's turn, the genie went all out. Putting aside the fact that its two large hands were moving up and down, it would also occasionally do judo moves, ravaging Xuan Yuan Po.
"F * ck!"
Xuan Yuan Po cursed and directly jumped up, fighting against the genie.
"Jiang Leng, do you want to learn the Ancient Dragon Capturing Hands?"
Sun Mo couldn't take it anymore. This scene was too painful for his eyes.
"Can I?"
Jiang Leng had a look of joy on his face.
"You are my student. Why can't I?"
Sun Mo counter-asked.
Jiang Leng wasn't as ignorant as Ying Baiwu. He knew that even among personal disciples, there was still a distinction of closeness and distance.
For a student like him who was destined to have no future, how could he be compared to Ying Baiwu who had a boundless future? His teacher's Ancient Dragon Capturing Hands was definitely a saint-tier darkness secret art. It was priceless, yet he was willing to teach it to him...
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Jiang Leng + 100. Friendly (650/1,000).
"Stop talking nonsense, quickly come and learn!"
Sun Mo decided that in the future, he would only give massages to female students and beautiful teachers. As for guys, he could give massages to whoever he wanted!
...
After dinner, Sun Mo gave his six students a lesson and told them to go rest.
The night was silent.
In the morning, Sun Mo, who was still in a beautiful dream, was suddenly awakened by the notification ringing in his ears.
Ding!
"Congratulations, your prestige connection with Jin Mujie has risen by one level, and you've obtained the admiration of a great teacher. You are hereby rewarded with a bronze treasure chest!"
A bronze-colored treasure chest appeared before Sun Mo.
"Can we not give a treasure chest so early in the morning?"
Sun Mo yawned, wanting to sleep in.
The system fell silent, ignoring Sun Mo's words.
In the campsite, there were already sounds of activity. As a teacher, Sun Mo had to set an example for his students. Hence, even if he wanted to sleep in, this wasn't the time.
After walking out of the tent, Sun Mo stretched and saw that in a place far away from the tent, the majority of the students had already woken up. They were either meditating, absorbing spirit qi, or cultivating.
A few students wanted to spar with Xuanyuan Po, but they were all rejected by him.
Seeing that Sun Mo had woken up, Li Ziqi, who had been paying attention to this place, immediately ran over. "Teacher, I'll go get some water for you. Can we have porridge, sesame seed cake, and salted vegetables for breakfast?"
Because their living conditions wouldn't be good if they went out.
"Breakfast is fine, but there's no need for me to get water. I'll go wash up by the stream myself. You can go and cultivate first!"
Sun Mo's expression was calm as though he was already used to such care. However, he was extremely agitated in his heart. Sigh, letting such a beautiful little girl serve him in his daily life was truly corrupt!
If this was in the modern era, even his own daughter wouldn't dare to order her around like this. But now, Li Ziqi was doing it with gusto. Moreover, Lu Zhiruo and Ying Baiwu didn't manage to snatch the job, so they felt a little disappointed.
(Oh right, it's fine to use a maid to warm the bed. Should I go and buy one?) However, just when this thought appeared in his mind, Sun Mo shook his head and tossed it aside.
(No, I'm a cultured person!)
Sun Mo's thoughts were running wild as he touched Lu Zhiruo's forehead.
"Open the chest!"
With a command, the bronze treasure chest opened. As light flashed, a map was left behind.
Ding!
"Congratulations, you've obtained a piece of the fragmented map of the darkness. Currently, you have four-fifths of the map!"
"..."
Sun Mo felt joy and discomfort. He had four pieces just like that? He was only one piece away from the perfection-grade map. However, it was precisely at this moment that it was even more tantalizing.
After breakfast, Jin Mujie did a headcount. She also asked those students who she felt had severe allergies to stay behind.
"Teacher Jin, can I go?"
Some students cried and begged.
"No, if you guys continue like this, you'll only bring harm to yourselves!"
Jin Mujie's rejection was very unyielding.
There was only one path to leave the hot spring area. The students who were left behind had been sent all the way here, and they kept on begging Jin Mujie.
The Myriad Daos Academy was definitely intentionally targeting the Central Province Academy. They just had to choose this timing to come over.
"Alright, you guys can go back first. We're about to set off. Teacher Pei, you must take good care of them."
Jin Mujie instructed.
"Teacher Jin, don't worry!"
Pei Yuanli looked at these students who had sullen looks on their faces and immediately felt unhappy. "What's with their expressions? Are they sending off a funeral? What's so bad about soaking in the hot spring here? "
Jiji!
Lu Zhiruo heard the loach in her backpack suddenly crying out anxiously, as well as the sound of it flopping around. She hurriedly opened her backpack.
"Little loachie, what's wrong?"
Lu Zhiruo asked.
Jiji! Jiji!
The loach cried out loudly. It even scuttled up Lu Zhiruo's arm and bit her sleeve, wanting to pull her away.
"It seems to be telling you to leave quickly?"
Li Ziqi guessed.
"Mn!"
The papaya girl nodded. "That's what it means. But little loachie, don't be anxious. We're going to leave now!"
In the following journey, they would definitely encounter spirit-winds. According to the rules of the Darkness Continent, whoever made a move first would be the one to get it.
Such lifeforms could be used to temper the combat strength of students. Hence, Jin Mujie wasn't prepared to let them go. She immediately announced that they would set off.
The loach was still crying out, and Lu Zhiruo could only console it.
After walking for about three minutes, if they turned back, they would still be able to see the steam rising from the hot spring. At this moment, without any warning, a huge spirit qi tide gushed over.
BOOM!
In an instant, many of the students in the group let out shrill screams. Even the teachers felt uncomfortable.
"Oh no, it's a spirit qi tide!"
Gu Xiuxun's expression changed. Moreover, from the intensity, it seemed to be a very strong one. Even in the Spiritwind Canyon, it wasn't common.
"Sit down on the spot and focus. If any spirit qi rushes into your body, immediately balance it out."
Jin Mujie immediately instructed.
When the spirit qi tide gushed over, cultivators would be like unlucky people who had fallen into the water. Even if cultivators didn't absorb the spirit qi, the powerful spirit pressure would directly push the spirit qi into the cultivator's body, causing the spirit qi in their body to fluctuate.
At this time, they had to absorb the spirit qi immediately, turning it into their own spirit qi. If not, if the spirit qi rushed into their body recklessly, it would damage their energy channels, blood vessels, and muscles. This was even more serious than spirit pressure allergy.
The students immediately did as they were told, but there were still a few who coughed up blood and fell down. They twisted their bodies in pain, and those who were more serious directly fainted.
"Teacher Sun!"
Jin Mujie called out loudly.
"Let me do it!"
Sun Mo was currently giving Tantai Yutang a massage. Upon seeing this, he immediately lunged toward the fainted student and executed the circulation technique to help him circulate his spirit qi.
"Yi Jiamin, help the student beside you over!"
Sun Mo commanded.
Although Yi Jiamin was unhappy that he was being instructed by Sun Mo, he knew that the situation was urgent and could only do as he was told.
Sun Mo held one student in each hand and performed the circulation technique.
"Will there be any problems?"
Lu Zhiruo was nervous.
Li Ziqi surveyed the papaya girl and discovered that she was fine. Other than her countenance being a little unsightly due to nervousness, she wasn't affected at all.
Jiang Leng felt a little uncomfortable, but Ying Baiwu was using her newly learned Ancient Dragon Capturing Hands to massage him.
The one who felt the most uncomfortable was Tantai Yutang. However, this fellow didn't feel uncomfortable because of spirit pressure allergy. Rather, his body was too weak. If he was stronger, he wouldn't have such a reaction.
On Gu Xiuxun's side, Zhang Yaozong also didn't have any reaction at all. He was helping Gu Xiuxun to save the students.
"Teacher, let me help you!"
Li Ziqi observed the situation and ran toward Sun Mo. In the end, she stepped on a small stone and tripped, almost falling down.
Hu ~
The spirit qi tide suddenly weakened.
The students immediately felt much better.
"This is bad!"
Zhou Shanyi's countenance changed drastically. This was the terrifying aspect of the spirit qi tide. It wasn't a constant gust, but it would fluctuate in size. It was precisely this kind of change that would cause great damage to the human body.
As expected.
The spirit qi tide weakened for less than 30 seconds and suddenly grew in size. This sudden impact directly caused three students to faint before they could even let out a grunt.
"Bring the unconscious students back to the hot spring area!"
Jin Mujie instructed.
Due to the topography of the hot spring area, it was a natural haven that could slightly weaken the intensity of the spirit qi tide.
Li Ziqi did her best to help a female student up. Because she was carrying the giant spirit potted plant, it was a little troublesome. However, this was drawn by her teacher, and she couldn't bear to throw it away.
"However, human lives are very precious. I can wait for the spirit qi tide to subside before I come back to pick it up!"
Li Ziqi made her decision. But just when she was about to throw it away, she suddenly discovered that the breathing of the female student she was supporting had become much smoother!
"Eh?"
Li Ziqi was surprised. What was going on? However, she was an intelligent girl. After thinking for a while, she guessed the reason. She subconsciously looked toward the spirit gathering potted plant.
The plant in the pot was a ten thousand leaf luo.
The spirit gathering runes that were drawn on the leaves were flashing with a weak glow. They were all activated, devouring spirit qi and releasing it again, creating a subtle balance.
This was the method plants used to resist the spirit qi tide. Because the spirit gathering runes were drawn on the leaves, this change was magnified and Li Ziqi was able to see it.
After the female student who was allergic to spirit pressure came to the side of the spirit gathering potted plant, the changes in the spirit pressure weakened. She naturally felt a lot more comfortable.
"Zhiruo, Xuanyuan Po, bring your spirit gathering potted plants to Teacher's side!"
Li Ziqi instructed and reminded Sun Mo, "Teacher, the spirit gathering potted plants can balance the spirit pressure."
"Is this real or fake?"
Yi Jiamin was surprised.
"What?"
Zhang Qianlin started, but a look of realization soon appeared on his face. After all, he had an extremely impressive talent in the study of spirit runes. Hence, he understood the principle.
After that, he looked at the few potted plants and revealed an envious and jealous expression.
This time around, Sun Mo had profited greatly!
"Everyone, come over and surround the potted plants!"
Sun Mo immediately called out. Regardless of whether it was useful or not, there was no harm in trying it out.
The students couldn't sense it clearly, but the moment the teachers walked over, they immediately felt the effect. The spirit qi had stabilized a little.
"I didn't expect that drawing spirit gathering runes on plants would have such an effect."
Xia Yuan clicked her tongue in wonder.
"Wouldn't the effect be even better if we changed it to a large-sized potted plant?"
Zhou Shanyi was surprised.
"Being large is one aspect, but the more important thing is that we need more leaves to be able to draw more spirit gathering runes!"
Li Ziqi explained.
"Teacher Sun, you've profited greatly this time around!"
Gu Xiuxun was envious. Once the spirit gathering potted plants could balance the spirit qi, they'd definitely sell well. This was much more useful compared to gathering spirit qi.
In the Darkness Continent, spirit qi tides were the greatest hidden danger. But once they brought Sun Mo's spirit gathering potted plants, they wouldn't have to worry about sudden death.
Jin Mujie glanced at Sun Mo and discovered that this fellow's expression was calm. He basically didn't care that he had dug up a gold mine and was focused on treating the students with severe allergies.
"This is a good teacher who loves and cares for his students!"
Jin Mujie sighed ruefully.
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Jin Mujie + 30. Friendly (240/1,000).
Naturally, this didn't mean that other teachers didn't love and care for their students. It was just that compared to a gold mine, Sun Mo cared more for his students. This was a rare quality.
Seeing that the situation had stabilized, Li Ziqi heaved a sigh of relief. After that, she frowned and looked at Lu Zhiruo who was busy taking care of the students.
That loach had already disappeared without a trace!
"That can't be. I must be thinking too much!"
Li Ziqi smiled in self-mockery.
