Holy Pharaoh had great judgment. Without Sun Mo's instruction, it directly picked up Huo Lanying's sword.
"..."
Sun Mo was speechless. (Are you really a guardian?
Don't tell me you're blowing your own trumpet?)
(From your lackey appearance, you look more like a supervisor who has been fawning over the emperor for at least 20 years.)
"Master, please don't look at me with this gaze. I'll become arrogant."
Holy Pharaoh chuckled.
"Scram!"
Sun Mo scolded angrily and admired the longsword.
Honestly speaking, he didn't understand this. Other than being beautiful and sharp, he really couldn't see anything special about it.
"Although it's peerless, it's just a spirit weapon and isn't worthy of your talent. Why don't you give it to someone else?"
A gentle and refined voice suddenly rang out, causing Holy Pharaoh to be shocked. It bared its teeth and revealed a malevolent expression.
"Who is it?"
Holy Pharaoh bellowed.
A middle-aged man pushed open the door and walked in.
He was wearing a black long robe, and there was a star map drawn on the bottom. If one looked carefully, they would be able to see a jade ring on his right index finger.
The design of the ring was simple and heavy. It was obvious that it had many years of history, and the word 'Dawn' was engraved on the surface of the ring.
"It has been a few days since we last met, but Starlord's demeanor is much better than before!"
Sun Mo dragged out a sentence.
The person before him was the Daybreak Starlord whom he had met before.
"How have you been!"
The Daybreak Starlord nodded, bit the straw in the bamboo tube, and drank a mouthful of soybean milk.
As expected, it tasted bad without sugar.
"Uhh!"
When Holy Pharaoh heard Sun Mo's words, it suddenly didn't know what to do. Huo Lanying was just a star general, yet it was so difficult to kill him. Then wouldn't the boss of the star generals, the Starlord, be extremely powerful?
It couldn't be offended! It couldn't be offended!
"Huo Lanying's sword is ordinary, but the cultivation art he cultivates is extremely good. The Heavenly Sword Art is the ultimate art that Old Su is famous for. It's a pity that you won't be able to learn it."
The Daybreak Starlord shook his head.
"Old Su? Is that the surname of the Corona Starlord? "
Sun Mo was curious.
Because the Starlords were very mysterious, Huo Lanying didn't know the name of their boss. Therefore, even if Holy Pharaoh swallowed his brain matter, it wouldn't be able to obtain such information.
Naturally, Sun Mo merely smiled at the words of this Soybean Milk Starlord.
Too bad I can't learn the Heavenly Sword Art?
Sorry, I've already grasped it, and it's the complete version. As long as I'm willing to spend some time emblems, I'll be able to rise to the half-step grandmaster level right now. Do you believe me?
Sigh, forget it, one must keep a low profile.
Speaking of which, my Immemorial Vairocana is truly impressive.
The Grand Universe Formless Divine Art was merely a copy of it. As for this cultivation art, he had learned it directly.
"Hehe!"
The Daybreak Starlord smiled and didn't reply. Instead, he looked outside the walls. "Since Headmaster An is back, why don't you come in?"
An Xinhui walked in. She knew that she wouldn't have a chance to sneak attack such a major character, so she didn't feel any regret.
"Headmaster An is as expected of a leading character of the younger generation. Killing a Star General is truly as easy as chopping melons and vegetables."
The Daybreak Starlord praised.
"Star Lord is too kind."
An Xinhui's countenance was a little pale, and there were wounds and bloodstains on her body. Her victory wasn't as easy as the Daybreak Starlord had said.
"Are you here to take these things away?"
Sun Mo looked at the information. It was a pity. These were information that could allow the Central Province Academy's medical science, alchemy, herbology, and other related subjects to rapidly improve by ten years.
"No, Teacher Sun has misunderstood. I'm only here to recruit you."
The Daybreak Starlord sighed. "I originally thought that the Central Province Academy would be finished this time around. I didn't expect you to resolve this matter so quickly. I have a whole new level of respect for you."
The Daybreak Starlord knew that Huo Lanying and Li Zixing had colluded. He also knew that Li Zixing was unhappy with the Central Province Academy and was prepared to deal a killing blow. Therefore, he planned to save Sun Mo at the critical moment and sell him a favor. But who knew that Huo Lanying was so useless?
Hearing this, An Xinhui was a little surprised and astonished.
One of the seven Starlords of Dark Dawn wanted to recruit Sun Mo?
(Did I hear it wrongly?)
(My childhood sweetheart is already outstanding to such an extent?)
If a Starlord wasn't a 9-star great teacher, he would at least be an 8-star great teacher. In the Nine Provinces, he was more than qualified to be the headmaster of an 'A' grade famous school.
Sun Mo frowned slightly. He couldn't understand the Daybreak Starlord's thoughts.
"The two of you, I'll take my leave!"
The Daybreak Starlord clasped his hands. "Teacher Sun, I'll say the same thing again. Whenever you feel that the great teacher world is boring, you can come and look for me. My door will always be open for you.
"Also, let's meet at the 3-star great teacher examination!"
After saying this, the Daybreak Starlord disappeared into the night with a gust of summer wind.
"Little Momo, how are your injuries?"
After An Xinhui couldn't sense the Daybreak Starlord's aura anymore, she heaved a sigh of relief. After that, she ran to Sun Mo's side to check on his injuries.
"I can still hold on."
Sun Mo took out a bottle of lover protection medicine and passed it to An Xinhui. "Use it for chatting."
"No need!"
An Xinhui shook her head. She had seen Sun Mo using the medicine earlier. Therefore, she was unable to accept doing that with a girl.
"The battle spoils this time around are all here. Other than the information, there's also this, the Starflash Pearl."
Sun Mo took off the ring and passed it to An Xinhui.
"What a beautiful ring."
An Xinhui exclaimed in surprise. It was really like the stars falling into the mortal world. However, after hearing Sun Mo's introduction, she was even more surprised.
This was definitely a peak-grade secret treasure that could protect one's life.
"You can take it!"
An Xinhui smiled. "You were the one who killed Huo Lanying. His battle spoils naturally belong to you."
In truth, An Xinhui was worried that Sun Mo was too weak and would be killed if he encountered a strong enemy. With this ring, his chances of survival would increase greatly.
However, honestly speaking, this would hurt Sun Mo's pride.
Sun Mo didn't stand on ceremony and put the ring back on his finger.
"Hehe, I've struck it rich."
An Xinhui happily threw herself at the information. In her heart, this knowledge was the most valuable battle spoils.
The commotion caused by the battle was so great that it would definitely attract the attention of the officials. Sun Mo and An Xinhui didn't dare to stay for long. After resting for a while, they left.
They naturally had to enjoy the battle spoils alone. Why should they give them to Li Xiu?
...
An Xinhui flipped through the information like she had obtained a priceless treasure and was completely engrossed.
Sun Mo wasn't in the mood to chat either.
Ding!
"Congratulations, you've killed Huo Lanying and completed your self-challenge. You've improved further on the path of combat. Reward: 1x mysterious treasure chest!"
Ding!
"Congratulations, you've killed an evil person and upheld justice. You've cleansed the great teacher's reputation. Reward: 1x golden treasure chest!"
After returning to school, Sun Mo couldn't wait any longer.
"Sister Xinhui, you can handle the other matters. I'm going to sleep."
After Sun Mo returned to the villa, he immediately went to the Wind King Divine Hall through the teleportation gate.
"Teacher!"
Seeing Sun Mo's bloodstained appearance, Lu Zhiruo jumped in fright and hurriedly came over to support him.
"I'm fine!"
Sun Mo smiled and rubbed the papaya girl's head.
"System, open the treasure chest. It's golden!"
A golden light flashed and a skill book was left behind.
Ding!
"Congratulations, you've obtained a catalog of 100 commonly used spirit runes. Proficiency level: expert-grade."
Sun Mo took a quick glance and discovered that they were all commonly used spirit runes. There were high-grade ones, and there were also spirit gathering runes that could be found on the streets.
Given Sun Mo's proficiency in spirit runes, he would be able to become proficient in spirit runes of this level after a few months. Therefore, this skill book couldn't be said to be very valuable. However, it could save Sun Mo at least a year's time.
"Not a loss!"
Sun Mo was quite satisfied. "Continue, the golden one!"
This time around, it was an alchemy pill.
On the alchemy pill, the dense medicinal qi kept on transforming, forming all sorts of diagrams.
Ding!
"Congratulations, you've obtained 1x Thousand Souls Pill. No matter how serious your injuries are, after consuming this pill, you'll be able to hang on to your life and recover a small portion of your injuries, allowing you to have the strength to fight again."
This was good!
After today's life-and-death battle, Sun Mo discovered that the amount of alchemy pills he had was simply too little. Even people who played games knew that when they went out for PvP or dungeons, they had to bring all sorts of medicine with them.
(What?
Drinking medicine during PvP is a shameless method?)
Sorry, in the Nine Provinces, the dead wouldn't complain.
"I'll ask Mei Yazhi if she has any peak-grade healing alchemy pills in the future."
Sun Mo didn't forget that there was an alchemist that was close to the ancestor-level at home.
"Continue, don't stop!"
Sun Mo urged.
Ding!
"Congratulations, you've obtained the ninth part of the Undying Mystic Art!"
Very good, having it was equivalent to not having it.
As for the final mysterious treasure chest, Sun Mo still harbored great anticipation. After all, this was a peak-grade treasure chest that could contain good stuff.
Hence, Sun Mo sincerely patted the papaya girl's head.
After the vibrant light dissipated, a skill book was left behind.
Ding!
"Congratulations, you've obtained the second volume of [Mysteries of Poison]. Proficiency level: expert-grade."
Sun Mo felt helpless. Couldn't she give him something practical?
He really had no interest in researching things like poisons.
"Take care of your body, don't tire yourself out!"
After instructing the papaya girl, Sun Mo returned to the villa to sleep. After going through so much trouble, he was also very tired.
...
Jinling, Wang Manor.
Li Zixing, who had just come out from his concubine's room, was cursing. Was the medicinal effect of this longevity potion decreasing?
It couldn't even last for half an hour. How disappointing.
(Tomorrow, I'll ask Huo Lanying if he is trying to fool me.)
After drinking a bowl of ginseng porridge, Li Zixing didn't feel sleepy. He sat in his study and planned how he could get rid of the Central Province Academy. After all, this school had become a thorn in his flesh.
At this moment, the old butler ran in with a look of panic on his face.
"Wang... Prince, something bad has happened."
The old butler knelt with a thud. "The... the courtyard has been destroyed by Li Xiu."
"You old dog..."
Li Zixing hated servants who didn't know the rules the most. Just when he was about to scold, he stood up in shock when he heard the old butler's words.
"Which courtyard?"
"The one in the eastern suburbs!"
After the old butler spoke, the inkstone smashed onto his head, causing it to bleed.
"Damnable Li Xiu, we can't exist together!"
Li Zixing panicked. If Li Xiu didn't have conclusive evidence, she wouldn't dare to touch his business. This meant that Huo Lanying had been exposed.
It wasn't a problem to develop the longevity potion and use the medicine-humans. However, the medicine-humans were students from the Myriad Daos Academy. This was a huge problem.
Li Zixing didn't believe that Li Xiu wouldn't take this opportunity to ruin his reputation.
"No, I have to retaliate immediately."
Li Zixing knew that he had to act and eliminate Li Xiu. Otherwise, he would be beheaded.
(Yes, since I want to do this, I'll do it in a big way. I'll destroy the Central Province Academy as well.)
(Sun Mo, An Xinhui, none of you can dream of living.)
