"What's the matter?"
Sun Mo halted.
"Teacher, I wish to participate in the 2-star great teacher examination as your personal student!"
As Jiang Leng spoke, he kowtowed again.
"No way!"
Sun Mo rejected. "Although the damaged spirit runes on your body have been repaired, you need to recuperate for a period of time before you can reach your optimal state."
"Teacher, I know you are concerned about me. I also know that if I participate now, there might be repercussions that will affect my future. But Teacher, please promise me!"
Right now, Jiang Leng had no way to repay Sun Mo's kindness. Hence, he wanted to help Sun Mo obtain the qualification to become a 2-star great teacher.
From Jiang Leng's point of view, there would definitely be no problem with Sun Mo's examination. The only uncertainty was the student competition.
The 2-star great teacher examination was split into two parts. The first part was to test the teachers, and the second part was for students to fight against each other. Only by squeezing into one of the rankings would one be qualified to ascend to the Greencloud Rankings.
Of course, in order to prevent some great teachers from using numbers to test their luck, the Saint Gate stipulated that every great teacher who participated in the examination could at most send three personal students to participate.
In the past, there would be a situation in the 2-star great teacher examination. A great teacher would rent an impressive student and become his personal student in name. After that, he would rely on that student to ascend the rankings and obtain a passing ranking. After the competition, the relationship between the teacher and student would be dissolved.
In order to prevent such a situation, the Saint Gate stipulated that once the participating students registered during the competition, they would no longer be able to fight for other great teachers.
Li Ziqi was intelligent and top-notch in her studies. However, she was completely lacking in terms of martial arts. Lu Zhiruo was a fool and Tantai Yutang was a sickly invalid. Neither of them could be counted on.
Ying Baiwu's cultivation level was slightly lower, and Xuanyuan Po had a 90% chance of surpassing all his opponents and ascending to the Greencloud Rankings. However, there was always the possibility of accidents.
In a battle between students, the opponents were decided by drawing lots. What if Xuanyuan Po's luck was bad and he consecutively encountered seeded contestants?
Hence, Jiang Leng had to participate.
"Teacher, please grant me my wish!"
Although Jiang Leng didn't say it, he wanted to become the top ranker of the Greencloud Rankings and bring glory to Sun Mo. This was the only thing he could do to repay Sun Mo's kindness.
"No!"
Sun Mo rejected cleanly. "Alright, stop talking nonsense. Go and rest!"
Seeing Sun Mo leaving, Jiang Leng clenched his fists tightly. Intense gratitude and self-blame rose in his heart. After that, his gaze turned resolute. (Even if I'm reprimanded by my teacher, I have to sign up.)
Anyone who obstructs me from ascending the Ascension Rankings will die!
…
Walking in the quiet campus at night, Sun Mo took in a deep breath.
Ding!
"Congratulations, because you helped Jiang Leng resolve the damaged spirit runes on his body, your standard in the study of spirit runes has risen once again. 35/100. Reward: 1x silver treasure chest!"
The system congratulated him.
"The points are growing so slowly!"
Sun Mo was worried.
Ding!
"Congratulations, because you saved Jiang Leng's life and gave him hope again, you even obtained his recognition and gratitude, completing a great teacher feat. Hence, you are rewarded with a great teacher emblem and a mysterious treasure chest!"
A glowing badge appeared before Sun Mo's eyes.
Hu!
Sun Mo couldn't help but whistle. This was a good thing. He now had six of them, and he still had the top-grade treasure chest. He might be able to get a great teacher halo from it.
After waiting for a few minutes and ascertaining that the system wouldn't issue any more rewards, Sun Mo hastened his footsteps and rushed back to the villa. He passed through the teleportation gate and entered the Wind King Divine Hall.
As expected, Lu Zhiruo was cultivating.
"I know you want to increase your strength, but you have to strike a balance between work and rest!"
Sun Mo patted the papaya girl's head.
Lu Zhiruo lowered her head and had a downcast expression. She also wanted to fight for her teacher. "Teacher, am I very stupid?"
"Being stupid is relative. I believe that everyone has their own shining points!"
Sun Mo consoled her and silently said in his heart, "Open the treasure chest!"
The silver treasure chest opened, leaving behind five 10-year time emblems!
"Continue!"
Sun Mo urged. The main show was at the back.
The mysterious treasure chest that was shrouded in purple light and mist opened. After that, the blurry light dissipated, leaving behind an old sheepskin parchment.
"It's not a great teacher halo?"
Sun Mo was very disappointed.
Ding!
"Congratulations, you've obtained the divine soul pill formula. Proficiency index: expert-grade!"
"This formula is extremely rare and is a lost item from the ancient Medicine King Hall. Currently, in the Middle-Earth Nine Provinces, there's only one incomplete formula that's preserved in the Medicine King Hall."
"The divine soul pill is refined using an ancient secret art and over ten types of medicinal herbs. It's an alchemy pill that's most effective in raising one's strength in the spirit-refinement realm. After consuming it, one's mental energy will surge explosively and directly break through the bottleneck."
"Because of the refinement technique and the handling of the medicinal herbs, after consuming this formula, the effects are almost equivalent to nature fruits. The side effects are negligible."
"Note: This alchemy pill is also an excellent nourishing item for spirit controllers!"
After looking at the introduction of the formula, Sun Mo was dumbfounded. After that, his heart failed to live up to expectations and started to palpitate. He had the excitement of someone who had obtained a peak-grade divine weapon in a game.
According to this introduction, there was only one of this formula and it was definitely priceless.
What kind of place was the Medicine King Hall?
It was publicly recognized as a place with the strongest medical skills. It was said that in this place, you wouldn't be able to die even if you wanted to. They had the most brilliant medical skills in the Nine Provinces and the most comprehensive medical library.
Even the Medicine King Hall didn't have the formula. Just thinking about it, one could tell how precious it was!
However, after feeling happy, Sun Mo started to feel depressed. There was no solution to it. He didn't know alchemy. Even if it was an immortal pill, he wouldn't be able to concoct it.
Getting someone else to concoct it?
Stop joking. This formula was definitely a secret that wouldn't be passed down.
"If that's the case, it's no different from waste paper!"
Sun Mo's lips twitched.
"It can be sold for money!"
The system reminded him.
"Do you think I'm a retard?"
Sun Mo rolled his eyes. He definitely wouldn't be able to do such a wasteful thing.
"Do you want to learn it or not?"
The system asked.
"Yes!"
Sun Mo nodded heavily. He would be a fool if he didn't learn it.
Pak!
The formula shattered into motes of light and gushed into Sun Mo's mind. In an instant, countless complicated and obscure knowledge gushed forth, almost squeezing Sun Mo's mind until it exploded.
Sun Mo waved his hand and cast Encyclopedic Knowledge on himself. He wanted to memorize this process, but he discovered that it was very difficult.
The study of alchemy wasn't like the study of spirit runes, where one could just memorize it and copy it. Alchemy was a systematic process, just like this formula.
It told Sun Mo how to change the furnace temperature, the order of adding the various medicinal ingredients, and how to observe the color of the alchemy pill. However, Sun Mo didn't understand the theory. Hence, even if he could concoct this alchemy pill step by step, its grade wouldn't be too high.
It was like a student doing a chemistry experiment. The entire process was written down in a book, but there weren't many students who could complete the experiment perfectly!
Ding!
"Congratulations on grasping the concoction method of the Divine Soul Pill. Proficiency level: expert-grade."
Sun Mo's expression was calm as he crawled into bed. "System, you can rest now. I'm going to rest!"
...
Prince Manor, Li Zixing's bedroom!
"No one has ever dared to embarrass me so much. I must take revenge. Sun Mo, I'm going to kill you. I'm going to kill An Xinhui and Li Ziqi in front of you. I'm going to let you understand how terrifying the consequences are if you offend me, your uncle."
Li Zixing cursed while strangling the neck of a concubine.
"Prince! Prince... Prince! "
She was beautiful and was once the concubine of Jinling's top courtesan. At this moment, her eyes were bulging and her saliva was flowing. Because her neck was choked by Li Zixing's hands, her blood couldn't flow. Her entire face had turned purple from suffocation.
The six maids standing outside the bedroom, prepared to serve Li Zixing at any moment, lowered their heads. Their faces were filled with terror. They didn't know what was wrong with the prince during these few days, but his killing intent was very heavy.
This was already the third wife and concubine that had been tortured to death.
Bang!
The door opened and a corpse that had died with grievances was tossed out.
"Drag her to the backyard and feed her to the dogs!"
Li Zixing instructed.
After venting his anger, Li Zixing's temper calmed down a little. He started to think about how he could kill the concubine in a single strike.
"Should I use 'them'? No, that won't do. Even if I rely on them to take down the Central Province Academy, they will ask for more 'rewards'. "
Li Zixing hesitated.
...
Myriad Daos Academy, Upper Forest Park.
Although the name sounded nice, this was actually an alchemy room that was specially used by the school's alchemy grandmasters.
After Fang Haoran returned from the Deer Tail Banquet, he came in and started to research the prescription of the giant medicine packet.
"I don't believe that I, a 5-star alchemy grandmaster, won't be able to restore this prescription. At that time, I will definitely let you see how impressive I am!"
Fang Haoran was very angry. Firstly, he was unhappy about being rejected by Sun Mo. Secondly, he understood that Sun Mo was about to become famous. The price he offered was no longer able to move Sun Mo. Thirdly, he had a deep understanding of how powerful this medicine packet was. With so many major characters wanting to buy it, even if Sun Mo was a retard, he wouldn't sell it.
Hence, Fang Haoran could only rely on his alchemy knowledge to restore it.
"Teacher, why don't you take a break?"
A young man was fanning him at the side. At the same time, he persuaded. His teacher had been working hard for seven days and seven nights. If this continued, his body wouldn't be able to take it.
"Scram!"
Fang Haoran roared, "My body is fine, there's no need to worry!"
The young man felt helpless, but he also felt some admiration. Honestly speaking, the environment in the alchemy room was very bad, but Fang Haoran had been staying here all this while. Just this determination and hard work alone was enough to make others admire him.
As expected, in order to become a grandmaster, one had to be able to endure hardship.
Half a day later, Fang Haoran finally analyzed another type of medicinal herb. He leaned back on his chair in satisfaction.
"Sun Mo, even without you, I can still succeed!"
Fang Haoran smiled complacently and called out, "Men, bring me a Dragonspring Pill!"
The Dragonspring Pill was a type of alchemy pill that could allow one to maintain their energy for a long period of time. It was similar to the Red Bull beverage of the modern era, but the effect was countless times stronger.
"Teacher, you have to use this medicine cautiously!"
The young man persuaded again.
"Don't worry, this daddy is at the Longevity Realm. I won't die!"
After Fang Haoran spoke, he swallowed the Dragonspring Pill and continued to work. But not long after, he felt dizzy and his heartbeat quickened. He couldn't use any strength in his limbs.
Putong!
Fang Haoran fell to the ground.
"Teacher!"
The few students in the alchemy room were so frightened that their countenances turned pale. They hurriedly ran over.
"Teacher, what's wrong with you?"
"Quickly go get a doctor!"
"Teacher! Teacher! "
The alchemy room instantly turned into a mess.
As an alchemist, everyone knew some medical knowledge. Fang Haoran was someone who had experienced major situations before. But at this moment, when he saw that his body was out of control and that he was coughing up blood, he also panicked. He subconsciously thought of Sun Mo's warning.
"You mustn't eat any more tonics to replenish your energy, or your life will be in danger!"
He didn't expect that Sun Mo's words would really be correct. Upon thinking of this, Fang Haoran instinctively shouted, "Quickly go get Sun Mo! Grandmaster Sun! "
