Sitting on the bed and looking at the four skill books floating before him, Sun Mo's emotions were extremely complicated.
[Analysis of A Thousand Commonly Used Poisons], Specialist Level.
As long as he learned it, he would immediately be able to familiarize himself with these one thousand types of poisons and reach the level of being able to use them flexibly. Even if he didn't use them to harm others, he would still be able to guard against them. He would no longer have to worry about being ambushed when he was outside.
But honestly speaking, Sun Mo wasn't interested in things like poison at all.
Knowledge was something that needed to be used continuously. Once you put it down, you'd gradually become unfamiliar with it. Hence, if Sun Mo didn't use them for a few years, he'd basically forget all of them.
Although this item was good, it was of little value to Sun Mo.
The second skill book, [A Thousand Types of Rare Darkness Species Encyclopedia – Plants Chapter], the proficiency index was at the grandmaster-grade. This was extremely valuable. It was an extremely powerful supplement to Sun Mo's botany study.
The only regret was that there were too few of them.
The third one was [Analysis of 1,000 Types of Spirit Runes]. Proficiency level: grandmaster.
The main use of this book was to save Sun Mo a large amount of time. Otherwise, if he were to practice by himself for eight hours a day, it would take him at least 20 years.
One must know that not everyone could draw grandmaster-level spirit runes. Any one of them could be sold for quite a lot of money.
Naturally, given Sun Mo's current status, he didn't need to work so hard to earn money.
The fourth was the Complete Collection of One Thousand Heaven Tier Middle Grade Cultivation Techniques. Proficiency: Master Level.
In terms of cost-performance ratio and effects, this skill book had the highest value out of the four. It was because even if Sun Mo worked hard for a hundred years, he wouldn't be able to cultivate 1,000 mid-grade heaven-tier cultivation arts to the grandmaster-grade.
This tremendous amount of cultivation experience would allow Sun Mo to directly reach the grandmaster level on the path of martial arts.
It might not be enough to teach geniuses, but it was more than enough to teach ordinary students. After all, the mainstream techniques of the Nine States were mainly of the Heaven level.
The items were all very practical, especially the spirit runes and cultivation arts. They allowed his teaching ability to increase greatly, but there were too few surprises.
Actually, Sun Mo wanted rare treasures. For example, rare fruits or alchemy formulas.
"Host, to a great teacher, knowledge is the foundation of his footing. Spirit runes and cultivation arts can become the cornerstone for you to advance to a secondary saint, but those alchemy pills and formulas can't. Why don't you understand?"
The system felt that Sun Mo's state of mind wasn't right. Hence, it started to criticize him.
"I can use the formula to exchange for someone else's unique cultivation method!"
Sun Mo rebutted.
"…"
The system suddenly felt that Sun Mo's words made a lot of sense. It actually had no way to refute him.
Sun Mo smiled and cast Encyclopedic Knowledge on himself. After that, he crushed the skill book and started to learn.
The night passed just like that.
After learning those spirit runes, the system's congratulatory voice rang out.
Ding!
"Congratulations, because you've deciphered the spirit rune murals in the Battlegod Canyon and learned a portion of basic spirit runes, your study of spirit runes has improved tremendously. You've officially stepped into the ancestor-level."
"What the hell do you mean by 'just a little'?"
Sun Mo frowned. "Half-step ancestor?"
"No, it's more powerful than a half-step grandmaster. You haven't been evaluated as a grandmaster yet because your foundation is too weak."
The system explained, "After all, any ancestor-level spirit rune grandmaster can draw over 1,000 types of spirit runes with their eyes closed."
"In other words, if I read more spirit runes, I'll be able to step into the elite adept realm?"
Sun Mo's brows twitched, feeling a little excited. This wasn't difficult, he just had to browse through books.
"Yes!"
The system sighed ruefully. Sun Mo truly had extraordinary talent in the study of spirit runes. It hadn't even been two years, but he was already so amazing.
This was considered an extremely outstanding result among all the previous hosts.
"Then what's my current ranking?"
Sun Mo was curious.
"First in the Central Province Academy, first in Jinling, third in the Central Province, 31st in the Middle-Earth Nine Provinces."
The system replied.
"I'm not even the first in the Central Province? Moreover, I'm only ranked in the top 30 in the entire country? "
Sun Mo suddenly felt unhappy.
"You should be content. These people are all ancestor-level spirit runes experts who have researched the study of spirit runes for several hundred years. Moreover, they are all extremely talented. If they weren't as amazing as you, the study of spirit runes in the Nine Provinces would have long since declined."
The system explained, "It can be said that the research of these thirty or so ancestor-level spirit runes experts has allowed the study of spirit runes to expand unceasingly."
"I understand."
Sun Mo nodded.
"Host, although you'll be able to advance to the ancestor-level if you learn more spirit runes, I suggest that you don't be bound by these empty titles. It's because these spirit runes are no longer of much use to you. You should find your own research direction.
"For example, your idea of building a Spirit Gathering Hall isn't bad."
The system tried its best to persuade him.
"Mn, I'll seriously consider the path ahead."
As Sun Mo spoke, he jumped off the bed and stretched. "Speaking of which, among those under 30 years old, my standard in the study of spirit runes should be ranked first, right?"
"You're number one among those under 50 years old."
The system wanted to roll its eyes. (Why do you place so much emphasis on rankings?
Being indifferent to fame and fortune is the bearing of a great teacher!)
Hearing the words' number one ', Sun Mo finally understood.
...
Time passed very quickly.
When the first autumn frost fell, the 4-star great teacher examination that was held once every two years was about to arrive.
Because the secondary saint Shi Sheng was in the school, An Xinhui could leave the school in advance with peace of mind and head to the examination venue in Willow Spring City.
Although Jin Mujie knew that her chances of advancing weren't high, she still wanted to give it a try.
The students discussed amongst themselves, guessing if Headmaster An would be able to become a 4-star great teacher. But very soon, this topic was overshadowed by the news that Sun Mo was about to set off to participate in the 3-star great teacher examination.
Because An Xinhui was still very young, it didn't matter even if she couldn't become a 4-star great teacher. Even if she did, it wouldn't be as shocking as Sun Mo rising 3 stars consecutively in a year.
Of course, if Sun Mo could become a 3-star great teacher in a year, that would be even more domineering.
Liu Mubai also wanted to participate in the examination and also had the chance to become a 3-star great teacher in a year. However, there was no longer any topic of discussion in the school.
When Sun Mo comprehended the Battlegod Catalog and shocked the world, he announced in the morning meeting that he would impart this divine art to the most outstanding students in the school. Sun Mo then replaced An Xinhui and became the most popular headliner great teacher in the Central Province Academy.
Who wouldn't want to learn a peerless-grade saint-tier divine art?
Also, Sun Mo's generosity was well-known. No one would doubt Teacher Sun's words. Even that barbarian youth had learned the [Dharma Skyshock Fist] and the [Wind King Divine Art], two top-notch divine arts, after following him for a few months.
If this was with other great teachers, they would have to work hard for their teacher for half their lives. Maybe, their teacher would be happy and teach them a move or two.
After all, such divine arts were too valuable.
Actually, there should be three. Sun Mo had even taught Helian Beifang the Grand Universe Formless Divine Art. However, this cultivation art was the ultimate divine art of the Skyraise Academy, and there would be great trouble if it was spread out. Therefore, Sun Mo told his personal students to keep a low profile.
...
On the fifth level of the darkness illusion dojo, when Sun Mo found Mei Yazhi, he saw that she was fighting to her heart's content, not knowing fatigue at all.
Bang!
Mei Yazhi exploded the illusion's head with a punch. The excited Mei Yazhi couldn't help but roar out. This kind of catharsis was really comfortable.
(Fitness makes me happy!)
Pak pak pak!
Sun Mo applauded.
"Ah?"
Mei Yazhi jumped in fright. After seeing that it was Sun Mo, she heaved a sigh of relief. After all, she was a 6-star great teacher, and she was also a woman. It'd be very inappropriate for her to roar out.
"Teacher Mei, you fought beautifully."
Sun Mo praised. He walked over and passed a clean towel over.
"You aren't joking with me, right?"
Mei Yazhi rolled her eyes at Sun Mo.
"How am I?"
Sun Mo revealed an expression as if he had been wronged.
"Then I'll accept it. After all, this is praise from the Battle God, Sun Mo."
Mei Yazhi smiled lightly. She didn't teach Sun Mo anything, so there was no need for him to address her as his teacher. However, Mei Yazhi didn't reject it.
Mei Yazhi could tell that her daughter had a good impression of Sun Mo. If Sun Mo addressed her as Teacher Mei, it would mean that they were of the same generation. This wouldn't do.
"Teacher Mei, please be magnanimous!"
Sun Mo felt helpless. "What Battle God Sun Mo? Don't praise me to death."
"Haha!"
Mei Yazhi patted Sun Mo's shoulder and teased, "How about it? Do you want to fight against me? "
Sun Mo's gaze subconsciously landed on Mei Yazhi's body.
Because she was sweating, many parts of her white warrior attire were sticking to her body. Not only could one see traces of her undergarments, but he could also see the gentle and beautiful contours of her body.
(My god, with this figure, if she were to wear tight-fitting bodybuilding attire, wouldn't it be amazing?)
Mei Yazhi panted slightly. A few strands of her black hair were stuck to her face because of her sweat. She had wanted to ask Sun Mo how his preparations for the examination were going.
In the end, when she saw his gaze, she suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
Pak!
Mei Yazhi lifted her hand and knocked Sun Mo's head.
"What are you looking at?"
Mei Yazhi was slightly annoyed.
"I'm not looking at anything. I'm just suspecting if Ziyu is your biological daughter. Isn't the difference a little too great? "
Sun Mo had something to ask of Mei Yazhi. Hence, he spoke respectfully. However, after saying that, he regretted it. It was because his words seemed to have crossed the line.
As expected, Mei Yazhi's face instantly turned red.
She knew that Sun Mo was referring to her figure.
(How can you evaluate us mother and daughter like this?)
(Also, in the future, I might even become your mother-in-law.)
Feeling that his boot-licking might have gone too far, Sun Mo hurriedly changed the topic. "Teacher Mei, I came here this time around because I have something to ask of you."
Sun Mo took out two pieces of paper and passed them over.
"As long as I can do it, I'll definitely do my best to help."
Mei Yazhi casually took it. After taking a few looks, her eyes opened wide and she was completely engrossed in it.
After a long time, Mei Yazhi raised her head and asked in surprise, "Where did you get these two pill formulas from?"
To think that they were pill formulas that she had never seen before?
This was too shocking.
One must know that Mei Yazhi was an amazing person in the alchemy world and was known as a quasi-ancestor-level existence. Because of her family's teachings, she had memorized tens of thousands of pill formulas since young. However, these two formulas weren't among them.
After asking, Mei Yazhi felt that she had said something wrong. She shouldn't have asked such a private question. After that, she grumbled a little.
"What the hell are you doing? In the future, don't show such formulas to others. No, you shouldn't take them out easily. "
"If I don't take them out, they'll rot in my hands!"
Sun Mo shrugged. "Moreover, I trust Aunt Mei."
"Hey, who did you learn this habit of climbing up the pole?"
Mei Yazhi teased and returned the pill formulas to Sun Mo. "But the title of Aunt Mei isn't bad. Just call me that in the future."
"Aunt Mei!"
Sun Mo immediately called out sweetly.
Speaking of which, they hadn't known each other for a long time. However, being able to become friends had nothing to do with time. It depended on whether they had the same interests.
Mei Yazhi could be said to be the most classic type of traditional great teacher. She had no flaws at all. Moreover, through Mei Ziyu, Sun Mo could tell that her upbringing was very strict. This also showed how outstanding Mei Yazhi was.
Sun Mo didn't feel any psychological pressure addressing such a person as' aunt '.
"You want me to help you concoct these two types of alchemy pills, right?"
Mei Yazhi analyzed. "The medicinal ingredients in the pill formulas should be alchemy pills used at the spirit-refinement realm and blood-ignition realm. Don't show the pill formulas to others. I also have alchemy pills of this level. I'll send someone to send a letter to my family."
"Don't worry, they are all of extremely high quality."
Mei Yazhi didn't mention the price because she didn't plan on taking them. After all, she hadn't returned the favor of Sun Mo giving Mei Ziyu the Ancient Dragon Capturing Hands.
"Aunt Mei, I'm sorry. I only want these two types of alchemy pills."
Sun Mo pursed his lips, not knowing what to say.
Luckily, Mei Yazhi was intelligent and instantly guessed Sun Mo's thoughts. "Mn? You mean that the effects of these two types of alchemy pills will be better? "
"Yes!"
Sun Mo didn't hide it. "One is the Divine Soul Pill, the other is the Dragonfire Pill..."
Before Sun Mo finished speaking, Mei Yazhi turned pale with fright and asked.
"What? Dragonfire Pill? You aren't lying to me? No, this pill formula has been lost for several thousand years. How do you know about it? "
Mei Yazhi had never heard of the Divine Soul Pill before. However, she knew of the Dragonfire Pill. This was the most perfect alchemy pill for cultivators at the blood-ignition realm.
Just because a Dark Saint from Dark Dawn coveted this pill formula, a famous school that had dominated for 1,000 years was wiped out. All the students died in a single night.
From then on, this pill formula was known as an inauspicious item and no longer appeared in the world.
Of course, to an alchemist like Mei Yazhi, she didn't care about whether it was auspicious or not. She only wanted to take a look at this legendary pill formula.
"I can guarantee that this pill formula is definitely correct. As for its origin, Aunt Mei, you don't have to ask about it."
Sun Mo didn't dare to lie. After all, given Mei Yazhi's influence, she could easily find out.
"Alright then!"
Mei Yazhi was a little excited. Whether it was true or not, she just had to concoct an alchemy pill.
Wait a minute.
This pill formula was too valuable. Even if she provided Sun Mo with the Dragonfire Pill for the rest of her life, she would still be profiting.
"Let me say this first. This pill formula isn't enough as a betrothal gift."
Mei Yazhi teased.
"Eh!"
Sun Mo was sweating profusely and hurriedly explained, "I don't have that intention. I just want you to provide me with some alchemy pills. Don't worry, I won't ask for too much. As long as my personal students pass the spirit-refinement realm and the blood-ignition realm, I won't need them anymore."
"Look at how frightened you are!"
Mei Yazhi couldn't help but smile. After that, she sighed ruefully. "I didn't expect that I would have such a great harvest from coming to the Central Province Academy this time around."
"Sun Mo, I owe you a huge favor."
(If you owe me a huge favor, you should repay me with your body!)
Her teacher said that Sun Mo wasn't a saint who would cast a glance at beauties on the streets. He also wanted a peak-grade beauty like Mei Yazhi.
Of course, Sun Mo immediately tossed aside this thought. After all, it was too despicable.
"I'll leave the matter of the alchemy pills to Aunt Mei. Also, I'll be setting off the day after tomorrow. During this period of time, I wish to ask you to stay behind in the Central Province Academy!"
Sun Mo pleaded. With a secondary saint and a 6-star great teacher holding the fort, there shouldn't be any trouble.
"No problem. Mei Yazhi gladly agreed. "Oh right, Ziyu is also going to participate in the 3-star great teacher examination. Help me take care of her."
This time around, there were quite a few people from the Central Province Academy who were going to participate in the 3-star great teacher examination. However, Gu Xiuxun knew that she had no hope, so she didn't go. After all, she still wanted to pass with a perfect result.
