"Why is it impossible?"
Sun Mo continued to ask. "Cai Tan went from being the focus of everyone's attention, a genius that many great teachers fought to recruit, to a piece of trash that no one cared about. The impact of this was too great to him. His previous suicidal thoughts are a piece of evidence!"
Ruan Yuan fell silent, but she clearly heaved a sigh of relief. She thought that Sun Mo was saying that Cai Tan's' illness' couldn't be cured and he was going to die.
Actually, Sun Mo was intentionally bluffing Ruan Yuan. His words would give different interpretations according to Ruan Yuan's reaction.
"However, even if he didn't commit suicide, he wouldn't be able to live for long."
Sun Mo observed Ruan Yuan's expression and activated Divine Sight.
Ruan Yuan, third-year student, 15 years old, spirit-refinement realm, two acupoints opened!
Strength: 12, average!
Intellect: 15, passable!
Agility: 12, average!
...
Potential value: average!
Note: A girl with mediocre cultivation talent, but she has quite good potential in the field of herbology.
Sun Mo suddenly understood Ruan Yuan's worry. Compared to Cai Tan's dazzling data, she was truly unremarkable.
Ruan Yuan stared into the distance.
"Indra is a type of plant from the Darkness Continent. After its roots are ground into powder, it is often used as an analgesic medicine that can reduce nerve pain. Usually, there would be no side effects."
Sun Mo grasped the detailed knowledge of 1,400 types of Darkness Continent plants. Among them, there were records of indra. Even if there were things that weren't recorded in books or discovered by other grandmasters in herbology, Sun Mo knew about them.
"Teacher, are you going to teach me about herbology?"
Ruan Yuan smiled. Her expression was filled with pride. (I'm not good at cultivation, but when it comes to herbology, no one is better than me.)
"I've checked your results in herbology. It's not bad!"
Sun Mo looked at Ruan Yuan. "I heard that you often take on the role of Teacher Li's assistant and cooperate with her to do experiments. Hence, you should have discovered that indra's medicinal properties would change under extremely cold temperatures. This also means that after being frozen, indra would gain the effect of repelling spirit qi when it enters the body."
Ruan Yuan was a young girl after all. She hadn't reached the stage where she could remain calm. Hence, when she heard this, her expression changed drastically and her limbs trembled.
"This is knowledge that isn't recorded in books. If you report this to the school, once it's verified, you would receive a scholarship from the school."
Sun Mo sighed ruefully. It wasn't just the school. Even the Saint Gate would give out a huge scholarship because one's knowledge was built up bit by bit.
Any school or Saint Gate would be generous with new discoveries.
"Since it's not recorded in the books, how did the teacher know?"
Ruan Yuan counter-asked.
Sun Mo didn't reply immediately. He wrinkled his nose slightly and sniffed.
"Teacher, aren't you being too rude by doing this?"
Ruan Yuan frowned and took a few steps back.
"Don't misunderstand, I'm interested in the fragrance on your body!"
Sun Mo explained.
"Teacher, don't tell me you want to lie on my body and smell it?"
Ruan Yuan was a little angry. Was this considered sexual harassment? Moreover, by saying this, she also wanted to threaten Sun Mo so that he would mind his own business less.
"The flower juice you sprayed on yourself is a mixture of Newman, Four-color Leaf, and Thousand Fall. Among them, Newman increases the fragrance and is the first scent, Four-color Leaf is the second scent to increase the duration of the fragrance, and lastly, Thousand Fall is used to get rid of mosquitoes."
Sun Mo sighed ruefully. "It's a very impressive concept. If you were to become a perfumer, you would surely earn a lot of money!"
Ruan Yuan's mouth was wide open as she stared at Sun Mo in shock. (How did you know?)
Women loved beauty, and this had always been the case since ancient times. There were all sorts of cosmetics in the Middle-Earth Nine Provinces, and using flower juice to mix perfume was a very popular method.
Ruan Yuan's background was very ordinary. Besides, she had to squeeze out a portion of her living expenses to buy medicinal herbs for Cai Tan. Hence, even if it was the cheapest perfume, Ruan Yuan wouldn't be able to afford it. However, it was fine. She could mix it herself!
Ruan Yuan's talent in herbology was indeed very impressive. After some research, she invented a perfume that had no side effects. Moreover, it was a perfume unique to her. Just thinking about it made her feel very cool.
When she was mixing the perfume, Ruan Yuan wanted to add Indra to help cultivators fall asleep faster and avoid insomnia. In the end, she accidentally discovered that Indra had the effect of repelling spirit qi under extremely cold temperatures.
However, Ruan Yuan didn't tell anyone about this. How did Sun Mo know about this?
"You investigated me?"
After Ruan Yuan spoke, she shook her head. That wasn't right. Even if Sun Mo investigated her, there was no one he could ask. She did her experiments in secret. Even the flower juice perfume was used up right after it was mixed, not leaving behind a single drop. Even if Sun Mo wanted to test the flower juice, he didn't have a sample.
Could it be that Sun Mo was able to differentiate what plant she used just by smelling her body? (No, this is impossible, right?)
"Judging from the density of the fragrance, you should have used it three days ago."
Sun Mo sniffed and gave an accurate data. Speaking of which, this smell was quite nice. Also, the combination of perfume and insect repellent effect was quite good.
Ruan Yuan fell silent, but she was completely shocked in her heart because the time Sun Mo said was completely correct. This... was this something that humans could do?
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Ruan Yuan + 100. Prestige connection unlocked: Neutral (100/1,000).
As the saying went, the ignorant were fearless. Ruan Yuan majored in herbology and could understand how terrifying Sun Mo was. Sun Mo's standard in differentiating plants was most probably the top three in the Central Province Academy, right?
No, he might even be the top!
Ruan Yuan didn't understand. Since Sun Mo's attainments in herbology were so high, why didn't he set up a subject?
What a waste of heavenly resources!
"You only know that the Indra plant will reject spirit qi when exposed to extreme cold. However, you don't know that it will also injure the nerves. Over time, it will cause the limbs to be numb and tremble. In the end, you will be paralyzed on the bed and won't even be able to control your movements. In the end, your nerves will atrophy and you will die completely!"
Sun Mo explained.
"No, that can't be!"
Ruan Yuan's countenance turned pale.
"I believe that you don't know this point. Otherwise, you wouldn't harm Cai Tan."
Sun Mo stared into the distance. "After all, you love Cai Tan so much!"
If Sun Mo reprimanded Ruan Yuan or even wanted to report her, Ruan Yuan would be stubborn to the end. However, Sun Mo's gentle words actually shattered her mental defenses.
Putong!
Ruan Yuan knelt and covered her face with her hands. "I also didn't want to do this!"
Sun Mo waited for Ruan Yuan to cry for a while before her emotions stabilized. He then said in a soft voice, "Tell me about your story."
This was the love story of a pair of childhood sweethearts!
As she gradually became more mature, Ruan Yuan grew increasingly scared. Because as she grew older, Cai Tan would become more and more talented while she would become so mediocre that she had no redeeming qualities.
Ruan Yuan chased after him but couldn't catch up to him. She was worried that she would be abandoned. Hence, she added something to Cai Tan's food.
Every day when they ate, Ruan Yuan would be the one serving the food. As his girlfriend, Ruan Yuan had too many chances to do so.
"You don't believe in Cai Tan?"
Sun Mo frowned.
"I believe in him, but what's the use of that? Cai Tan will eventually reach the Longevity Realm or even the Legendary Realm. What about me? Even if I reach the Longevity Realm, I'd only be at the first or second level... boohoohoo! "
Ruan Yuan cried very sadly.
Sun Mo fell silent. That was right. At the Longevity Realm, not only would there be a difference of several hundred years between the two of them, but there would also be a natural difference in terms of appearance.
One must know that the earlier one entered the Longevity Realm, the slower the aging process would be. Between Cai Tan and Ruan Yuan, one would be in his prime while the other would be an old lady with a face full of wrinkles. Who would be able to endure this?
(If you slept with an old lady, let alone having sex, you probably wouldn't even be able to get hard.)
"If you love Cai Tan, then you should be holding up his future!"
Sun Mo could only say this.
"Future? I don't wish for my husband to be famous throughout the world and conquer an empire for me. I only wish for him to accompany me for my entire life! "
Ruan Yuan spoke in a righteous manner because many women hoped for their husbands to become dragons. They hoped to marry an unrivalled general or an emperor or prime minister. However, she didn't. She was willing to be ordinary.
"What if he wants to be famous throughout the world?"
Sun Mo continued to ask.
"Eh!"
Ruan Yuan was stunned. Trepidation and fear appeared on her face.
"You have always felt that you are very tolerant of Cai Tan, but have you considered his dreams?"
Sun Mo sighed.
Ruan Yuan broke down. She had been consoling herself by saying that she was very tolerant of Cai Tan and didn't force him to work hard. But what if Cai Tan wanted to work hard? Wouldn't that mean that she had wiped out his dreams?
"Teacher, I'm wrong. Please punish me!"
Ruan Yuan finally understood her selfishness.
Sun Mo no longer spoke. He sat by the lake and waited for Ruan Yuan to cry. He was also thinking about how to handle this matter.
...
On the second day, a light drizzle fell from the sky. The feeling of autumn was even stronger.
Cai Tan came to the villa and accepted the living blood technique's treatment. After the treatment, he felt very refreshed.
"Teacher, if there's anything you need, feel free to instruct me!"
Cai Tan felt very embarrassed. (Give me money?) (Teacher doesn't lack money and won't accept it. However, it isn't a good idea to accept Teacher's massage for free.)
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Cai Tan + 50. Friendly (245/1,000).
"You are a student of the Central Province Academy. It's only right for me to take care of you."
Sun Mo smiled. "Do you have anything on later? If not, why don't you accompany me for a while? "
"It's my honor!"
What a joke, what was Sun Mo's identity? If Sun Mo wanted to have a heart-to-heart talk with him, Cai Tan couldn't ask for anything more. Even if he had something important to do, he had to put it down.
"You are poisoned!"
After Sun Mo poured tea for Cai Tan, he sat back on the rattan chair. "It's your girlfriend who poisoned you!"
"It's not Ruan Yuan!"
Cai Tan immediately denied.
"Oh? From your words, you seem to know who the suspect is? "
Sun Mo was curious.
"I don't know, but it's definitely not Ruan Yuan!"
Cai Tan looked at Sun Mo with a pleading gaze. He put down the teacup and knelt down. "Teacher, I believe that Ruan Yuan is innocent."
"Are you worried that I'll report this matter to Headmaster An? Is that why you want to absolve Ruan Yuan?"
Sun Mo asked. If this matter was reported, Ruan Yuan's life would be over. Not only would he be fired, but he would also be sent to the Darkness Continent to mine.
Because this was poisoning a fellow student, the impact would be extremely bad.
"Speak the truth or I will immediately send out the order to capture Ruan Yuan!"
Sun Mo's tone turned cold.
