Ding!
"Congratulations, because you helped Jiang Leng resolve the damaged spirit runes on one of his arms, your standard in the study of spirit runes has improved once again. Progress: 1/100. Reward: 1x silver treasure chest."
"What does this progress mean?"
Obtaining a treasure chest was a joyous thing, but this progress bar was something that appeared for the first time. Hence, it attracted Sun Mo's attention.
"After some knowledge is upgraded to the advanced level, you won't be able to use time emblems to increase the proficiency index anymore. You'll have to personally put it into practice, learn, and grasp it. Only after the progress bar reaches the maximum value would your knowledge be upgraded."
The system explained.
"Understood!"
Sun Mo's expression was calm.
"You don't seem surprised?"
The system was curious. In the past, when its host heard this news, they would all reveal disappointed expressions. After all, they couldn't eat the free lunch anymore. This was a great loss. However, Sun Mo didn't feel that way.
"Why should I be surprised? This is the normal situation! "
Sun Mo basically didn't believe that he could rely on time emblems to upgrade a knowledge to the ancestor-grade. It was because in the end, no one would be able to give you any guidance or help.
For example, in the eyes of some top-notch physicists, although everyone learned physics, the world they saw was different.
Only those scholars who could see further and further would be able to expand a subject. As for others, they were merely using this subject.
"I'm very gratified that you can have such a mentality. This also proves that I didn't misjudge you."
The system sighed ruefully.
Sun Mo listened attentively and then shook his head with some regret.
"You can't be waiting for me to contribute favorable impression points, right?"
The system chortled. "Stop dreaming!"
"Che, there will be a day when I'll make you completely convinced of me!"
Sun Mo's lips twitched.
"I'll wait and see!"
The system encouraged.
Ding!
"Congratulations, because your prestige connection with Jiang Leng has improved, you're specially rewarded with 1x silver treasure chest!"
Li Ziqi brought over a brush, ink, and paper.
After Sun Mo cast Encyclopedic Knowledge on himself, he picked up the brush, dipped it in the ink, and started to draw.
First, he drew the spirit runes on the bones. These should be the core.
As Sun Mo drew them, even An Xinhui who didn't understand the study of spirit runes could feel that these diagrams contained a mysterious power.
"Teacher, these should be ancient spirit runes!"
Li Ziqi interjected.
"How so?"
An Xinhui was curious.
"I've memorized all the spirit runes that can be found in the market. I can be sure that there aren't any of these spirit runes. In fact, there aren't any spirit runes of this style!"
Li Ziqi explained.
His tone was very calm, but it caused An Xinhui to be dumbfounded.
How many spirit runes were there on the market? Even if she hadn't learned it before, she knew that there must be tens of thousands of them. Yet, Li Ziqi had actually memorized all of them?
This was incredible!
An Xinhui glanced at Sun Mo and discovered that he didn't have any intention of praising Li Ziqi. It was as if he had heard something very ordinary.
Your heart is really big!
An Xinhui felt that if she was in Li Ziqi's shoes, she would surely praise Li Ziqi. Students needed encouragement and not a stick to educate them.
Next, Sun Mo relied on his memory and drew out the spirit runes on Jiang Leng's body. Even the broken traces were left behind. After that, his expression turned heavy.
"What happened?"
An Xinhui was puzzled.
"Why wasn't Jiang Leng killed?"
Sun Mo frowned, he couldn't think of a reason.
"Teacher, are you saying that you can restore these spirit runes?"
The intelligent Li Ziqi immediately guessed the reason.
The value of the spirit runes on Jiang Leng's body was extremely high. They definitely belonged to the category of knowledge that needed to be kept secret. Usually speaking, if Jiang Leng failed, he would be discarded.
If not, he wouldn't encounter such a situation. Sun Mo restored these spirit runes.
Sun Mo nodded confidently. If it was someone else, they would surely be confused when they saw these spirit runes. However, Sun Mo was different. As someone who had designed and disassembled spirit runes before, he didn't look at the surface when he looked at spirit runes. He looked at the core and the concept behind the design.
After understanding the concept behind the design of these spirit runes, in addition to these traces, it would naturally be easy to restore them.
"What an intelligent girl!"
An Xinhui silently praised. The more she looked at Li Ziqi, the more she admired her. Luckily, she was Li Ziqi's teacher's wife. If not, if she saw such a talented girl becoming someone else's personal student, she would surely feel depressed and envious.
"Cough, I reckon that there aren't many great teachers as impressive as Sun Mo in the entire Central Province who can restore these spirit runes. Hence, such a situation is really too coincidental."
An Xinhui smiled.
Sun Mo was truly impressive. An Xinhui might not have eaten pork before, but she had seen pigs run before. Sun Mo's study of spirit runes was probably within the top five in the entire Central Province Academy.
"I suddenly got a spirit rune grandmaster? I feel that I've earned so much! "
An Xinhui secretly laughed.
Based on the current situation in the great teacher world, the price one had to pay to hire a spirit rune grandmaster as a guest professor in a school was extremely high.
If it was a full-time job, which meant that the great teacher would only be teaching in the Central Province Academy, the price would be five times higher. Given the Central Province Academy's current wealth, they wouldn't be able to afford it.
This was why An Xinhui was happy.
(It would be great if Sun Mo was also a grandmaster-grade teacher in other subjects. Aiya, what am I thinking about? Sun Mo's Medical Cultivation and spirit rune studies are so excellent. I should already be satisfied.)
Ding!
Favorable impression points from An Xinhui + 100. Respect (Reverence) (10000/100000).
"That's true!"
Li Ziqi nodded and had a matter-of-fact look on her face. "After all, teacher is the best!"
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Li Ziqi + 50. Reverence (23760/100000).
Upon hearing the notification, Sun Mo looked at the little sunny egg and suddenly felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart. As a teacher, being able to obtain the admiration of his students was the greatest recognition and reward for his work.
However, after that, this feeling turned into fear. He mustn't let down the little sunny egg's love and respect!
"I will definitely become a spirit rune grandmaster and resolve Jiang Leng's problem."
Sun Mo set a goal for himself.
Ding!
"New mission issued. Please completely repair the damaged spirit runes on Jiang Leng's body within a year. If you complete it, the reward will be 1x mysterious treasure chest!"
Although Sun Mo was very tired, his mental state was exceptionally good. This was because after he repaired a portion of the damaged spirit runes, he heard another notification.
Ding!
"Congratulations, because you repaired a portion of the damaged ancient spirit runes, your standard in the study of spirit runes has risen again. Progress: 2/100."
However, this time around, there was no reward.
"Oh right, do you know about the Deer Tail Banquet?"
An Xinhui suddenly thought of something.
"What's that?"
Sun Mo was astonished.
"Every year after the 1-star great teacher examination, the Jinling Governor would organize a Deer Tail Banquet to congratulate these newly ascended great teachers. At that time, all the influential people in Jinling City would attend."
An Xinhui explained.
"Can I not participate?"
Sun Mo wasn't interested. Besides, there were only two months left before the 2-star great teacher examination.
"It's best for you to go. Humans can't live without social interactions."
An Xinhui persuaded, "I don't like to socialize either, but there are some social interactions that you can't reject. If not, others would feel that you are too arrogant and look down on others, leaving behind a bad impression. If you want to interact with them in the future, it would be troublesome."
"Teacher, such an opportunity is something that others wouldn't be able to obtain even if they wanted to die."
Li Ziqi also persuaded. "Also, if it's someone else, they can claim that they are sick and reject it. But you definitely can't do that."
"Why?"
Sun Mo didn't understand.
"Because you are definitely the main character of this year's Deer Tail Banquet. Like a Dog in Front of the Door, One-Vote Sun, creating a new grand slam record. Who wouldn't want to get to know such a famous person?"
Li Ziqi felt very honored.
Although her teacher was only a 1-star great teacher, his future was boundless.
"The invitation from the Jinling Governor would most probably be sent over by tomorrow at the latest."
An Xinhui smiled. "Oh right, I will go as well!"
...
Li Residence, a grand residence!
The stone lion at the entrance was imposing and tyrannical. All the carriages that passed by would either take a detour or get off their horses. This was the authority and status of Prince Li Zixing of Jinling.
Bang!
The small door closed. Zhang Hanfu, who was given the cold shoulder, had an unsightly expression on his face. He knew that he was finished.
(What should I do?)
Zhang Hanfu gazed at the busy streets of Spring, but he felt an extreme chill.
In the guest room.
Li Zixing waved his hand with a look of disdain. "Men, throw away this set of teacups!"
A maid immediately came up and took away the tea set that Zhang Hanfu had used.
"What a trash. A 2-star great teacher can't even handle a new teacher. What a waste of my trust!"
Li Zixing grew angrier the more he thought about it. He directly smashed the expensive teacup that was worth 1,000 taels of silver onto the ground.
Bang!
The teacup shattered.
"Prince, calm down!"
Ni Jingting fanned himself with a calm expression. He was a 3-star great teacher, a personal great teacher that Li Zixing had hired with a large sum of money.
Other than giving advice to Li Zixing, he was also in charge of teaching Li Zixing's children.
"Oh, seeing how Teacher Ni is so confident, you must have a solution to this, right?"
Li Zixing had an excited look on his face.
"The Central Province Academy is already like a dead dog. The reason why they could come back to life is all because of this Sun Mo. Therefore, as long as we get rid of him, everything will be resolved."
Ni Jingting fanned himself and sipped a mouthful of tea.
He didn't like dry and boring lectures as it was too tiring. It wasn't like now, where he could sit down and drink tea, come up with ideas, and receive a large amount of resources. He could even focus on cultivation.
"Assassinate Sun Mo?"
Li Zixing frowned. If it was in the past, this method would work. But now, Sun Mo had shot to fame. If Sun Mo died accidentally, others would definitely suspect him.
"Prince, it's too unstylish to fight and kill."
Ni Jingting's lips twitched. He actually looked down on Li Zixing's mentality. Li Zixing was lawless just because of his status. Couldn't he use his brain a little and come up with some technical methods?
"Then what do we do in Teacher Ni's opinion?"
Li Zixing wasn't ashamed to ask.
"There are two plans. Either we headhunt Sun Mo over, or we let him suffer a social death!"
Ni Jingting used his fan to cover his mouth. "I heard that Sun Mo is An Xinhui's fiance. Therefore, I'm afraid we can't do the first plan. There's only one path we can take!"
"Suffering a social death?"
Li Zixing seemed to have understood something.
"What are great teachers most afraid of? They're afraid of losing their reputation! "
Ni Jingting smiled sinisterly. "Isn't the Deer Tail Banquet the day after tomorrow? At that time, we can join forces with some great teachers to attack him... "
"Brilliant, absolutely brilliant!"
Li Zixing clapped his hands and praised. No matter how strong Sun Mo was, he was just a 1-star great teacher. At that time, he could find a group of great teachers to make things difficult for him. Even if Sun Mo had heaven-defying capabilities, it would be hard for him to make a comeback.
This time, he would definitely succeed!
