Liu Yushan's face instantly turned green and red from embarrassment.
If he didn't want to compete, he was a man. What he had said was like spilled water. If he went back on his word, wouldn't it be the same as drinking water that had flowed into the sewer?
But to compete …
I'm not a masochist!
As a 3-star great teacher, Liu Yushan's intellect naturally wasn't a problem. Mei Yazhi could determine the grade, composition, and ratio of an alchemy pill through its pill qi.
How could he win against such a genius?
When he thought of this, Liu Yushan suddenly felt very disappointed. This was because he might only be able to reach this realm after he was 200 or 300 years old.
"Master teacher, when forging pills, the most important thing is to be patient and calm. Only by remaining calm will you be able to sense the aura of the pills."
Mei Yazhi's personality was very good. She didn't hate Liu Yushan just because he wanted to step on her to become famous. Instead, she patiently guided him.
"Let me give you an inappropriate analogy. Even if you are about to die and there is a Nine Revolution Year Prolonging Pill in the cauldron before you, you won't eat it!"
"When you reach this level, your alchemy skills will be greatly improved."
Among the spectating master teachers, even those who weren't apothecaries listened attentively. After all, this was the lecture of a 6-star master teacher.
Liu Yushan was conflicted for a while, but in the end, he still bowed deeply.
"Thank you for your guidance, Teacher Mei. Then, may I ask, where is my regret?"
Liu Yushan truly admired Mei Yazhi's magnanimity. This might be the reason why she could become a quasi-ancestor-level adept.
"Liu Yushan, are you looking for trouble again?"
Dai Shuling, who had always been particular about the temperament of an upper-class lady, was now cursing like a shrew.
Mei Yazhi was Dai Shuling's idol. Now that she had seen it with her own eyes, she was so agitated that she couldn't control herself. She was wondering if she should invite Mei Yazhi to a meal through Sun Mo when she heard Liu Yushan's words.
From Dai Shuling's point of view, Liu Yushan was making things difficult for Mei Yazhi, wanting to embarrass her.
"Teacher Mei hasn't even seen you concoct pills, so how would he know your flaws?"
"That's not what I meant."
Liu Yushan felt wronged.
"Alright, both of you, quiet down!"
Mei Yazhi stopped Dai Shuling. "Teacher Liu's weakness is that he has too little experience. To put it more accurately, he has too few opportunities to concoct peak-grade alchemical pills."
In this world, geniuses were few and far between. Whether it was an athlete, a professional gamer, a sharpshooter, or even a doctor, they were all created through continuous training and accumulation of experience.
The stage of the Myriad Daos Academy was ultimately still too small.
To put it bluntly, the direct disciples of the Jixia Academy's Alchemy Masters had participated in the refining process of supreme-grade elixirs many times more than Liu Yushan.
"There's nothing wrong with your technique anymore."
Liu Yushan beamed with joy when he heard the compliment.
Even he himself did not notice that he had already changed from a challenger to a student, and was humbly asking for advice.
"Come and find me in a few days to get a recommendation letter. I will arrange for you to intern at Jixia Academy's Dan Yuan for three months!"
Mei Yazhi instructed.
To speak the truth, if someone dared to tell a 3-star great teacher to go for an internship, the 3-star great teacher would definitely berate them badly.
But at this moment, Liu Yushan only felt gratitude in his heart.
It was because this opportunity was too hard to come by. After all, he had submitted his resume to Jixia Academy, but they didn't even bother to look at it and just threw it into the trash can.
The teachers of the Nine Great Teacher Selections were all top students from the various famous schools. No matter how bad they were, they wouldn't be able to get out of the top ten.
"Teacher Liu, congratulations!"
"You are really lucky. This won't do, you have to treat us tonight!"
"Right, let's have a big meal!"
Among the spectators, many alchemists were so envious that their eyes turned red. They wanted nothing more than to snatch Liu Yushan's recommendation letter.
"It's a pity that Teacher Sun rejected my recommendation. Otherwise, given your attainments in the study of spirit runes and the art of spiritual control, you would be able to stay and work at Jixia Academy."
Mei Yazhi sighed.
An Xinhui was shocked. So there was actually such a thing?
The other great teachers were all stunned.
Sun Mo was already outstanding to such an extent?
"But why didn't he go to Jixia Academy?"
"In the Central Province Academy, he is the head of a chicken. If he went to Jixia Academy, he probably wouldn't even be able to become the tail of a phoenix."
"You are underestimating Sun Mo too much."
"Aren't you overestimating Sun Mo? I admit that he is very strong, but the great teachers of the Nine Greats are the top talents of the Central Province Academy. "
The great teachers started to argue.
"Stop quarreling. Sun Mo isn't going purely because he is An Xinhui's fiance. If it was you, with a beautiful wife and half of the assets of a famous school, would you go to Jixia Learning Palace?"
A male great teacher spoke, feeling so sour that his stomach hurt.
Everyone fell silent. After thinking about it carefully, this was really the case.
As the saying went, gold or silver nest couldn't compare to one's own nest. If they were in Sun Mo's shoes, they would probably choose to hug a beauty with their left hand and hold the headmaster's seal with their right.
Liu Yushan was a shrewd person. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to achieve such accomplishments before he was 40 years old.
Back then, for the sake of learning alchemy, he had managed to coax his teacher to the point of radiance. After all, even a job like looking at pill furnaces was very popular.
Now that he heard Mei Yazhi's words, while others were shocked by Sun Mo's excellence, Liu Yushan thought that she might want to headhunt him for the Central Province Academy.
Why wasn't it for Jixia Academy?
(Please!)
Right now, Liu Yushan already recognized the disparity between him and Sun Mo. He didn't have the capabilities to establish a foothold in that school.
"Teacher Mei, I will strictly follow your instructions and not embarrass you."
Liu Yushan bowed again.
This sentence seemed to be saying that he had to perform well in Jixia Academy, but in truth, it was Liu Yushan guaranteeing that he would enter the Central Province Academy to teach.
"F * * *!"
Cao Xian was also a shrewd person and naturally understood the unspoken words between the two of them. He was so angry that green veins popped up on his forehead. But after that, he decided to give up.
(Let's leave, everyone should leave!)
"Headmaster Cao, do you still want to compete?"
An Xinhui asked. "Everyone has been here for half a day. If you don't want to compete, everyone can leave to have a meal!"
Of course, the Central Province Academy was having a celebratory banquet.
An Xinhui added in her heart.
"I'm not competing anymore."
Cao Xian's expression was dejected.
The crushing defeat today could be said to be the greatest humiliation of his life. It could also be the greatest mistake he had made in his life.
(I shouldn't have come to participate in the great teacher group battle!)
Now that the Myriad Daos Academy had lost, this news would spread through the entire Jinling in less than two days. One could very well imagine how the students who came to seek knowledge would choose to join.
"Why don't I have a son-in-law like Sun Mo?"
Cao Xian felt depressed.
Even though he hated Sun Mo to death in his heart, a small portion of his great teacher group had fallen in Sun Mo's hands. Other than admiration, there was nothing else he could do.
"The younger generation will truly surpass us in time!"
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Cao Xian + 1,000. Respect ().
The great teachers of the Myriad Daos Academy and the students who rushed over to support had disappointed looks on their faces. After all, no one liked to lose.
"Headmaster Cao, I have something that I shouldn't say, but I have to remind you."
Sun Mo deliberated over his words. "You are too attached to the title of the number one famous school in Jinling. As a result, the way you conduct yourself has become a lot more utilitarian.
"When we establish a school and become teachers, we don't do it for fame or profit. We just want to teach the children well.
"So what if I'm not an excellent student? Does everyone not want to live anymore? After all, in this world, there will always be people who are more outstanding than you.
"Hence, I feel that we shouldn't nurture our students to surpass others. Rather, we should nurture them to surpass themselves."
These were Sun Mo's heartfelt words.
He worked hard in teaching because he wanted his students to live an exciting life. He didn't want them to work so hard for the sake of daily necessities.
Sun Mo looked toward the spectator stands.
"I hope that you guys can become the best version of yourselves."
Lingering Voice erupted. Sun Mo's voice seemed to have grown wings and flew above the Central Province Academy, causing it to reverberate for a very long time.
The students fell silent and comprehended. After that, they started to applaud.
At the same time, a golden halo also erupted, radiating toward Cao Xian.
It was Priceless Advice!
The great teachers in the surroundings were dumbfounded.
(You really dare to show off?)
(You can still lecture so calmly when facing the headmaster of a school.)
"Heh, this Priceless Advice is so tyrannical."
Qin Yaoguang felt some admiration for Sun Mo.
She wasn't the only one. At this moment, many students had the impulse to acknowledge Sun Mo as their teacher.
"Headmaster Cao, during these few years, you have overworked yourself and your heart is failing. Your cultivation base has stagnated, right? If you continue like this, you might die in less than five years. "
Sun Mo reminded.
Hua ~
Sun Mo's words caused everyone to be stunned. (You really dare to say that?)
However, when they thought of Sun Mo's God Hands, everyone didn't feel that it was strange. He did have the qualifications to say that.
"Many thanks for Teacher Sun's kind intentions. I understand my body."
Cao Xian clasped his fists and prepared to leave. At this moment, Fang Haoran called out.
"Headmaster Cao, there's something I have to clarify."
Fang Haoran felt a little awkward.
Cao Xian frowned and had a bad premonition. "What is it?"
"I didn't come here to represent the Myriad Daos Academy to participate in the battle!"
Fang Haoran felt bitter in his heart.
He had felt that since he was a 5-star great teacher, it didn't matter if he explained things to Sun Mo or not. After all, his star-level was too high and he was like a thigh to Sun Mo.
But now, an even more amazing Mei Yazhi had appeared. Regardless of star-level or alchemy skills, he was inferior to her. How could he obtain Sun Mo's friendship?
"Teacher Sun saved me previously and I've always wanted to thank him. However, Teacher Sun went to participate in the great teacher examination. Hence, the moment I heard the news of his return, I rushed over."
As Fang Haoran spoke, he bowed toward Sun Mo.
He was sincere.
After all, if it wasn't for Sun Mo, he would have died.
"Why didn't you say so earlier?"
From the looks of it, Fang Haoran wouldn't be able to stay. Hence, Cao Xian's attitude also changed. (Who cares? This daddy only cares about following my heart.)
"You didn't even give me a chance to say it?"
Fang Haoran was helpless.
Sun Mo no longer paid attention to this. In his mind, he was taking inventory of his gains.
"I've defeated the Myriad Daos Academy's invasion, right? Where's the reward? Quickly give it to me, I want to activate a great teacher halo! I want to activate alchemy skills. "
Right now, Sun Mo suddenly yearned for alchemy.
If it wasn't for Mei Yazhi suddenly rushing over, his school would have lost for sure.
