"Master!"
The concubine covered her face with one hand and looked at Fang Haoran in disbelief. Her master, who had always doted on her, had actually hit her?
The most important thing was that he didn't have any selfish motives. He was completely thinking of Master!
Thinking of this, the concubine felt so wronged that she wanted to cry.
"Do you know where you went wrong?"
Fang Haoran's gaze was cold.
"This servant does not know."
The concubine sobbed quietly.
"Do you know why I have everything I have now?"
Fang Haoran asked.
"Of course it's because Master is a famous Alchemy Grandmaster!"
The concubine gave an affirmative answer.
"Although I'm not a doctor, I still have some understanding of pathology due to my alchemy. If it wasn't for Sun Mo's God Hands, I'd probably never be able to concoct pills again in the future."
When Fang Haoran said this, the concubine was shocked.
"Without this skill, who would care about an old man like me?"
Fang Haoran laughed at himself.
He was Great Alchemist Fang, and his front door was always crowded, because there was an endless stream of noble people who came to ask for alchemical pills. Fang Haoran liked to be high and mighty, enjoying the flattery and flattery of others.
Apart from feeling superior, it was also a form of recognition of one's own worth.
"Why do you think Cao Xian paid such a huge price for me to come to the Myriad Daos Academy? Recuperate? Without Sun Mo, I'd definitely be chased out. "
Fang Haoran snorted coldly.
"Master, I know I was wrong!"
Although the concubine said that, her heart still ached. After all, it was a large sum of money.
"As long as I'm alive, I'll be able to refine alchemical pills. Moreover, what are five peerless-grade heaven-tier pills? I'm afraid that the gift is not enough! "
Fang Haoran sighed. Sun Mo, who possessed the giant medicine packet and God Hands, already had the capital to exchange for peak-grade alchemy pills. If he didn't spend a lot of money, how could he prove his sincerity?
"This is light?"
The concubine was astonished. With this amount of money, even if Sun Mo were to sleep with the top girls of the various brothels in Jinling City, it would be enough for him to sleep with them for a year.
"What do you think?"
Fang Haoran grumbled, "Do you know what conditions Cao Xian offered to poach him?"
"What condition?"
The concubine was curious.
"As long as Sun Mo is willing to come to the Myriad Daos Academy, he can set any conditions he wants!"
After Fang Haoran finished speaking, the concubine sucked in a breath of cold air.
She didn't know what this meant, but she knew that Cao Xian didn't give this condition when he was headhunting Fang Haoran.
Hence, this indicated that in Cao Xian's heart, Sun Mo's value and potential surpassed Fang Haoran.
"So do you know why I hit you?"
Fang Haoran looked at his concubine and spoke in a solemn tone, "I've already given him a great gift. If someone were to spread this out and say that I'm unwilling to do so, wouldn't I have wasted my money and even offended him?"
"This servant knows her mistake."
The concubine already knew what to do. She wanted the servants to spread the news. Fang Haoran praised Sun Mo greatly, thanking him for extending his career.
In any case, he had to display the Fang Clan's gratitude to Sun Mo to the fullest, to the extent where everyone knew about it.
"After I return, I will head to the Spirit Zen Temple to offer incense and pray for Grandmaster Sun. I hope that he can successfully pass the 2-star master teacher examination!"
After the concubine finished speaking, she saw a satisfied expression on Fang Haoran's face. This caused her to relax; she had finally been saved.
However, wasn't that Sun Mo a little too impressive?
She heard that he was only 21 years old, yet the old master treated him so solemnly? However, the old master's judgment of people was never wrong.
Ding!

Westmountain was a mountain city located in the middle of towering mountains. If it was in the modern era, it would definitely be a 5A grade scenic spot. It would be a world-class scenic spot that would be packed to the brim with tourists during the National Day Festival. But in the Nine Provinces, it meant that the roads were difficult to travel and it was inconvenient to enter and exit.
The standard of living of the people here was clearly more than a level lower compared to Jinling.
"Coming here to take the examination is really torturous!"
Zhang Yaozong felt depressed.
"The Saint Gate set the examination location in the Westmountain Academy because they want to give the people here some extra income."
Gu Xiuxun explained.
This was a good deed.
The number of great teachers and students participating in the examination numbered in the tens of thousands. The expenses during the examination period would be settled in Westmountain. Hence, to the people of Westmountain who owned related industries, this was a considerable amount of income.
Through taxes, they could also build bridges and pave roads, benefiting the people.
"The Saint Gate is truly benevolent!"
Zhang Yaozong praised.
No matter how beautiful the scenery was, there would be a time when one would get sick of looking at it. Luckily, Sun Mo wasn't bored because he finally had the time to wholeheartedly guide his six personal students.
Li Ziqi was definitely a top student. No matter what was taught to her, she would be able to learn it very quickly. In addition to her photographic memory, she was about to become an encyclopedia.
In any case, if there was anything Lu Zhiruo didn't understand, she could just ask her eldest martial sister. She would definitely be able to get a detailed and accurate answer.
The little sunny egg's only problem was that once movement was involved, she would be at a standstill. It was because her limbs couldn't keep up with her consciousness.
This was due to her innate constitution, and Sun Mo had no solution to it. He could only use the ancient massaging technique and the Grand Universe Formless Divine Art to help her improve her physique.
However, the little sunny egg's combat strength wasn't weak. The little bag she was carrying was filled with flame explosions and lightning protection runes.
If that didn't work, she could still summon spiritual beasts to assist her in battle!
Although she was only a pawn now, other than being a meat shield, she had no other use.
Right now, Sun Mo was teaching Li Ziqi the spirit runes he had mastered. Because it was high-grade knowledge, he thought he would need to teach her for a very long time. However, the little sunny egg learned too quickly.
This made Sun Mo a little worried. What if there came a day when he had nothing to teach the little sunny egg?
Ying Baiwu was the opposite. She didn't like to learn these written knowledge and only liked to cultivate. Moreover, she was hardworking enough. Hence, her cultivation base had improved by leaps and bounds.
Sun Mo didn't force her. He just got the iron-headed girl to recite some darkness medicinal plants when she wasn't cultivating as entertainment for her to relax.
Ying Baiwu was someone who liked to fight. Xuanyuan Po's situation was similar to hers. However, this combat addict was even harder to deal with compared to the iron-headed girl.
Xuanyuan Po only liked to fight. He would never think about things like pondering.
Ying Baiwu would ponder and digest some of the things Sun Mo explained during the battle. However, Xuanyuan Po wouldn't do so. He only requested to fight again.
At the start, Sun Mo tried to explain, but a few days later, he completely gave up. Xuanyuan Po was someone who relied on his intuition to fight.
To put it bluntly, he relied on his talent.
Xuanyuan Po was someone whose hands were faster than his brain. (I don't know why I have to fight like this, but I know that I can defeat you by fighting like this.)
Other than coughing frequently, Tantai Yutang had been sitting in the corner of the carriage, reading a medical book.
Given his sickly body, it would be a miracle if he could live for more than three years. Hence, Sun Mo didn't teach him anything. On the contrary, he advised Tantai Yutang to put in less effort.
If he were to recuperate quietly, he might be able to live for a few more days.
Tantai Yutang didn't mind.
Jiang Leng's attitude changed. Although he still didn't like to talk and had a stiff expression on his face, he was cultivating every day.
It was as if he wanted to make up for all the wasted time.
Although Jiang Leng didn't say it, Li Ziqi and the others knew that this junior martial brother of his wanted revenge! The fact that he didn't repair the word 'cripple' on his forehead was the greatest proof.
Lu Zhiruo was the one who made people feel the most helpless. She was very hardworking, but the results were minimal. The system's evaluation of her potential value was extremely low, and it wasn't given randomly.
Other than being a huge papaya, there was nothing good about her. No, maybe she was lucky too!
Sun Mo was almost at his wit's end. If he used Soul Imprint to imprint his cultivation art, experience, and insights into Lu Zhiruo's mind, she would surely forget everything an hour later!
As long as Lu Zhiruo didn't think of her father, she would be carefree most of the time, like a little angel.
Just when Sun Mo had a more detailed understanding of his six personal students, they arrived at Westmountain City.
"All the examinations are conducted in the Westmountain Academy. Hence, it's best for us to stay closer to reduce the time spent on the road."
Xia Yuan suggested.
"Let's go directly to the Westmountain Hotel. If it's full, we'll change to the Chong Shan Hotel!"
Sun Mo had done his homework and instructed the coachman to speed up.
"Ah?"
Xia Yuan jumped in fright and hesitated a little. "But... but these two hotels are very expensive!"
Although An Xinhui had given each great teacher who wanted to participate in the examination some traveling expenses before they left, they couldn't afford to spend so much!
"Don't think too much, I'll take care of it!"
Sun Mo finally experienced the feeling of being a tycoon. Squandering money like it was dirt was just so carefree.
(I don't care if it's expensive or not. I only care if it's comfortable or not!)
"Then I'll take advantage of it!"
Xia Yuan also graciously expressed her thanks. She knew that Sun Mo didn't lack money.
As expected, the Westmountain Hotel was fully booked. As for the Highmountain Hotel, it only had a few of the most luxurious rooms left.
"Everyone, I'm really sorry!"
The hotel boss smiled apologetically. It wasn't that he couldn't sell the rooms, but rather, he was planning to wait for a good price and earn a huge sum of money. After all, this was a once in a few years opportunity.
"10,000 silver taels per night, it's too expensive!"
Xia Yuan, who was preparing to take advantage of them, immediately felt heartache. "Teacher Sun, why don't we go elsewhere to take a look?"
"It's indeed a little expensive!"
Gu Xiuxun was also speechless. These bosses really dared to set prices. Their hearts were truly black.
"Forget it, I can't be bothered to move!"
Sun Mo sat down. "Get your men to move our luggage to our rooms!"
"This great teacher..."
The boss wanted to say something but hesitated.
"What's wrong?"
Sun Mo frowned.
"Our hotel allows us to pay first before we stay."
The boss smiled apologetically. He had seen quite a lot of people before and could tell that these three weren't wealthy people.
If they were to run away, where would he go to cry?
"You mean that we should pay the full amount now?"
Xia Yuan frowned.
"Please forgive us!"
The boss nodded.
"What do you mean by this?"
Ying Baiwu's beautiful brows twitched. Was he looking down on them?
"No... nothing!"
The boss explained, but his attitude was firm. Either they pay first or they scram.
"What's going on?"
Sun Mo didn't understand.
"Usually speaking, we would pay the deposit first. After that, we would pay for the food and the rest of the room fees when we leave!"
Gu Xiuxun explained.
At this moment, another group of people walked into the hotel's lobby. The boss's eyes brightened and he immediately went up to welcome them. The dressing of these people was a lot more luxurious.
"Change the location!"
Sun Mo frowned, but he didn't fly into a rage. He understood the boss's mentality. There was nothing wrong with wanting to earn more money.
