After the meal, as the host, Sun Mo brought Mei Ziyu on a tour around the Central Province Academy to see if there were any suitable students.
The student recruitment meet only lasted for seven days, and half of the time had passed. If Sun Mo couldn't recruit two personal disciples, he would fail the mission.
"Over there is the darkness illusion dojo. It's the most valuable building in our school and will become a representative building in the future."
Sun Mo introduced, "Do you want to go take a look? There are many darkness illusions from the ancient era inside. "
"No need!"
Mei Ziyu shook her head. She had no interest in combat. "Is there no botanical garden?"
"There's a herb garden, but the school didn't manage it well a few years ago and we weren't able to recruit any powerful botanists. This caused many precious herbs to die, and only some common goods are left."
Speaking of this, Sun Mo felt very helpless.
Any great school that had some achievements in the field of alchemy would have a botanical garden that encompassed everything. Not all precious herbs could be found there, but there must be at least 70% of them.
The study of alchemy was the most popular subject in Middle-Earth Nine Provinces.
If the Central Province Academy wanted to return to the ranks of the Nine Greats, they had to at least get into the top ten even if they didn't have the best alchemy. However, without a herb garden, this wish couldn't be realized.
"What a pity!"
Mei Ziyu felt that it was a pity.
For a botanical garden like this, it would take tens or even hundreds of years to slowly collect and nurture herbs before it could expand.
For example, it was like a fast-growing forest in the modern era. It would take a few years before it could mature and reach the standard of being cut down. There was no need to mention those precious herbs like snow lotuses and lingzhi.
"Let's go take a look?"
Mei Ziyu suggested.
This stroll lasted for half a day. After coming out from the herb garden, Sun Mo felt so awkward that he wanted to die. He actually wanted Mei Ziyu to help him manage the school's herb garden, but with such a tattered background, he felt embarrassed to ask.
"If vice headmaster Sun doesn't mind, can I help you manage this herb garden?"
Mei Ziyu lowered her head.
"Ah?"
Sun Mo started.
"If it's not convenient, forget it."
Mei Ziyu didn't insist.
"No, it's not convenient, no, it's not suitable!"
Sun Mo was a little incoherent. After scratching his head, he gloomily said, "This is too unfair for you."
She didn't need to rely on her mother, Mei Yazhi's connections. Mei Ziyu's rich botanical knowledge was sufficient for her to manage a botanical garden in any of the Nine Greats.
"There's nothing to feel aggrieved about. I like to interact with flowers and plants."
Mei Ziyu smiled. The warm sunlight cascaded down on her face, feeling very sweet. "Also, there's no hierarchy between plants. Even if I managed to grow a stalk of wild grass, I'd still be very happy."
"En!"
Sun Mo had wanted to say that he would build the largest botanical garden in the entire Central Province for her. But after hearing Mei Ziyu's words, he shut his mouth.
No more talking, just doing.
Just you wait, I will definitely find out where the Greenhaze Forest is! Then, he dug up all the precious herbs there, not leaving a single one behind.
Wait a minute!
Sun Mo suddenly thought of a problem. He had the eight-gate cloud. As long as he constructed a teleportation gate, wouldn't he be able to construct a wild botanical garden?
Every once in a while, he would send a batch of students and great teachers there to temper themselves. Their knowledge and strength would surely soar rapidly.
It was said that the Nine Greats were all in the Darkness Continent and had their own botanical gardens. However, it would be very tiring to travel there.
Unlike him, the teleportation gate could solve everything. He just needed to lift his foot and he would be there.
It was simply perfect.
"Esteemed Teacher Sun, please accept me as your disciple."
Just when Sun Mo was fantasizing about the future, a gigantic figure scuttled over. After that, it knelt with a thud and started to kowtow while shouting.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
When the students in the surroundings heard the commotion, they immediately stopped in their tracks.
"Teacher Sun? It can't be Sun Mo, right? "
"God Hands? Where is it? Let me take a look! "
"Damn, I came here this time around to acknowledge Teacher Sun as my teacher."
The students swarmed over.
Sun Mo felt a headache, but he still wore a smile on his face. After all, for a student to acknowledge a teacher was a form of acknowledgement.
"Teacher, why don't you accept me?"
The huge boy clenched his fists and thumped his chest. "You see, I'm very strong. Since the age of five, I can eat two buckets of rice a day. I can also swing a hundred-pound sledgehammer."
Si ~
After hearing this, everyone drew in a cold gasp, their gazes filled with astonishment.
Was this what it meant by having extraordinary talent?
The boy before them was already close to 7 feet tall, but his face was so tender that it seemed like water could drip from it. If there were no accidents, he should be around 13 or 14 years old.
"I don't accept disciples based on strength!"
Even though this boy's body was stronger than Xuanyuan Po, Sun Mo was very reserved. He still needed to test the other party's temperament.
The boy's lips twitched. (What should I look at if not strength?
Do you know that when I was very young, there were already great teachers who wanted to take me in as their disciple?
My father didn't agree because he was waiting for a good offer. Now that I've sneaked out and want to acknowledge you as my teacher, you're still acting like this?)
Honestly speaking, the boy felt a little unhappy.
After all, those great teachers had said that as long as he followed them, they would nurture him into a ferocious general.
"Did you get injured a few days ago? Let me help you take a look? "
Sun Mo saw that there were bruises on the boy's body. He was planning to show off the ancient massage technique to gain a wave of favorable impression points before checking his body.
Although Sun Mo didn't have Divine Sight, he still had God Hands.
"It's just a small injury, there's no need to look!"
The boy had a look of pride on his face. How could he not get injured during cultivation? He felt that this was his medal, the proof of his hard work. Hence, he had never tried to hide it.
Sun Mo smiled and went forward. He placed his hand on the boy's shoulder and exerted force with his fingers.
Eh?
Sun Mo's expression didn't change, but he mumbled in his heart.
This time around, Sun Mo started to seriously assess the boy.
"There's a chance!"
Many spectating students immediately revealed looks of envy when they saw Sun Mo's expression. As for the boy, he let out a complacent snort.
(Everyone says that I'm a ferocious general.)
Mei Ziyu quietly stood at the side, waiting for Sun Mo.
At such a time, there was no need to hide anymore. Hence, spirit qi gushed out from Sun Mo's arm, condensing into the genie.
Its muscles were knotted as if they were covered in olive oil. It was wearing a small vest that wasn't buttoned up and had a purple turban wrapped around its head.
The moment it appeared, the genie that was dressed like an Asan bent its arms and flexed its muscles.
The surrounding students were instantly dumbfounded. Some of them even felt a slight discomfort in their bodies.
The genie looked at the boy. After observing him for a few seconds, it crossed its arms before its chest and shook its head at Sun Mo.
"What do you mean by this?"
The boy didn't understand. (Is it saying that I can't make it?)
"It says that you don't need treatment."
Sun Mo broke out in a waterfall of sweat. This genie actually had consciousness?
"Teacher, I've said it long ago. I'm very strong and rarely get sick since young."
The boy boasted.
"En!"
Sun Mo nodded, but his lips twitched in his heart. (You might not get sick, but you often break your bones.)
The genie shook its head. This meant that this boy's bones were brittle.
From the feedback of the bone setting technique, the bone density of this boy was very low. This meant that he wouldn't be able to endure high-intensity cultivation.
It was like a minority of football players. They looked tall and strong, but they would often get injured during competitions. Moreover, it wasn't easy for them to recover from their injuries. They would lie on the hospital bed for half a season and wouldn't even have the chance to touch the water dispenser.
This was called brittle.
On the contrary, some shorter football players were as sturdy as small tanks. Although they didn't have an advantage in height, they were especially fierce when they snatched the ball.
Sun Mo inspected the boy's body and helped him repair his bones. However, the boy couldn't wait anymore and asked, "Teacher, can I do it or not? Just give me an answer."
From the boy's point of view, he came to acknowledge Sun Mo as his teacher because of Sun Mo's reputation. Sun Mo should be very happy and accept him as his disciple.
However, what was the meaning of this hesitation?
"I'm more strict when accepting disciples. You have to go through a test. Can you accept it?"
Sun Mo counter-asked.
"Hehe!"
The boy's lips twitched.
Sun Mo didn't mind. He actually wanted to persuade the boy to stop cultivating.
Right now, there was nothing wrong with the boy's body because his cultivation base was low and the intensity of his cultivation was low. If his cultivation base increased, he would suffer a fracture every ten days to half a month.
However, Sun Mo couldn't say these words. After all, which youth didn't have the dream of being a hero?
His words would be telling the boy that he wasn't suitable for cultivation and that he was just a little taller than ordinary people. Who would be able to accept this?
One must know that this boy had always flaunted himself as a genius.
"You will meet a good teacher!"
Sun Mo patted the boy's shoulder. "After that, thank you for your recognition of me."
Sun Mo turned and left.
The boy also stood up. He had wanted to say that if Sun Mo didn't accept him, he would definitely regret it. However, he felt that it would be too low-class to do so. Hence, he went to look for other great teachers.
He heard that there was a great teacher named Jin Mujie in Jinling. Not only was she beautiful, but she was also very powerful.
As for Sun Mo.
(Just wait and see. You will definitely regret missing out on me today.)
"Children are not mature and it's very normal for them to have such an attitude. Don't take it to heart!"
Mei Ziyu consoled.
"Am I the kind of person who would get angry with a child?"
Sun Mo mocked himself.
Mei Ziyu shook her head. After that, she asked curiously, "His body isn't good enough?"
"To be more precise, his bones aren't tough enough and can't support his powerful muscles and tendons. Sigh, it's a pity."
Sun Mo sighed.
How could it be so easy to be a valiant general? In China's 5,000 years of history, there were only a few famous generals. When the boy discovered that he was just an ordinary person, he would most probably feel despair, right?
Also, recruiting students was a two-way process. Sun Mo didn't mind students complaining about him. If not, after they became his personal students, it would be too late for regrets even if they hated him.
Li Ziqi and the other two were hiding behind a cluster of flowers over 50 meters behind Sun Mo and Mei Ziyu.
"This is the third person who has been rejected."
Li Ziqi took out a small notebook and made a note.
"I don't like this fellow. He's too arrogant."
Lu Zhiruo's lips twitched.
"Speaking of which, isn't it a little bad for us to follow Teacher like this?"
Ying Baiwu felt conflicted.
"You can choose not to follow him!"
Li Ziqi didn't mind.
The iron-headed girl didn't say anything, but her footsteps didn't stop.
"Should we go to the battle dojo to take a look?"
Sun Mo suggested. However, when they passed by the student dormitory, a male student ran out with an anxious look on his face. When he saw Sun Mo, he immediately had a look of joy on his face and rushed over.
"Teacher, something bad has happened. Wang Meng is in trouble!"
