Among his three roommates, Zhou Liqing and Tuoba Cao's potential value was high, while Helian Xue's was extremely high.
Sun Mo wasn't surprised by this data at all. Since these three dared to come to the Dragon Subduing Academy to seek a job, they definitely had some capabilities. However, there were also some problems.
Among them, when Zhou Liqing was in school, he had stolen a pill from his roommate. Although he was not caught on the spot, he was suspected and caused quite a commotion in school.
He did not take up a position in any famous university in the Chinese server because he was worried that if this matter was exposed, it would affect his career.
If he could gain a foothold in the Dragon Subduing Academy first, earning money while earning his reputation, it wouldn't matter even if he was fired because his standards weren't high enough.
This was because his identity as a teacher from one of the Nine Greats was enough for him to gain a foothold in a 'B' grade school. Furthermore, with this qualification, absolutely no one would dare to suspect him of being a thief.
Although Tuoba Cao's potential value was high, he came from a poor background and his parents were once slaves. Hence, his academic life was extremely tough and he wasted a lot of time. If not, his achievements would be even higher now.
At the same time, he also had an urgent desire to stand out.
He wanted to become a powerful noble, the kind that had ten thousand servants and countless cows and goats. Since this fellow wanted to become a master teacher, he didn't intend to teach many students. He only wanted to use it as a stepping stone to climb up the ranks.
He hated Wanyan Zhenghe, but he also wanted to die for Wanyan Zhenghe's father.
It would be difficult for such a person to leave his homeland.
As for Helian Xue, he was arrogant because of his talent and would definitely look down on the Central Province Academy. Moreover, the main reason he came here to seek a job was to learn the art of beast taming from the headmaster of the Dragon Subduing Academy.
It was obvious that he couldn't poach any of his three roommates.
"Pear blossom candy from Jiangnan. Try it!"
Sun Mo wasn't interested in snacks. These things were stuffed into his bag by Lu Zhiruo. She was worried that he would be bored on the road and wanted to eat them to relieve his boredom.
"No!"
All three of them refused.
Zhou Liqing treated Sun Mo as a competitor and didn't wish to have a deep conversation with him. Tuoba Cao was worried that this thing would be too expensive and he didn't want to owe Sun Mo a favor. As for Helian Xue, it was purely because she didn't like sweet food.
The conversation ended just like that, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.
After all, all four of them were working hard to stay in school, and all of them wanted to surpass each other.
Sun Mo shrugged and went to sleep after washing up.
It was a silent night.
Early the next morning, Sun Mo and Mei Ziyu met up and headed toward the Dragon Subduing Palace.
"I've asked around. There were only 50 people attending Jiang Ji's lecture yesterday. Do you think he'll be so shocked that he'll become autistic?"
Mei Ziyu teased.
Although this number was already very high, when compared to Sun Mo, he was just a little brother.
"Actually, I used some tricks. Otherwise, there wouldn't be such a high number of people attending the lecture."
Sun Mo felt somewhat embarrassed.
"This isn't playing tricks. This is a battle strategy. If Jiang Ji is capable, he should shout out the words' If you guys can't stop me, I won't be a great teacher in this lifetime '!"
Mei Ziyu made a solemn vow, defending Sun Mo's glory. She seemed to have transformed into a fangirl.
In truth, she felt very fortunate that she had chosen to participate in the 3-star great teacher examination. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to see such an outstanding Sun Mo.
These three months will definitely be the most memorable period of my life.
After arriving at the teleportation formation, Mei Ziyu took the initiative to pay alchemical pills as the entrance fee before Sun Mo even took out the money.
"Here are two tickets. Let's go in!"
The middle-aged man guarding the teleportation formation was drinking tea while playing with the alchemical pills he had just received. He had an excited look on his face. (Tsk, I've struck it rich.)
Just smelling this fragrance could refresh one's mind. It was definitely a peak-grade pill.
"Let's go!"
Mei Ziyu wanted to pull Sun Mo's hand but didn't dare to.
"How many times can I enter?"
However, Sun Mo didn't move and surveyed the middle-aged man.
"Once per person. What's wrong?"
Mei Ziyu didn't understand.
"Wait a minute!"
Sun Mo walked up to the middle-aged man.
"What?"
The middle-aged man frowned.
"The entrance fee for the Dragon Subduing Palace is one spirit stone each, right?"
Sun Mo didn't find the signboard. He couldn't help but say that this was really unprofessional.
"That's right. What's wrong?"
The middle-aged man was already unhappy. This guy looked very unfamiliar and was clearly an intern teacher. There was no need to be afraid.
"That alchemical pill of my friend can be exchanged for at least 1,000 spirit stones. Yet, you're only giving me two tickets?"
Sun Mo mocked.
"What do you mean?"
The middle-aged man's tone was unfriendly. "If you don't wish to enter, just leave. Besides, you said 100 spirit stones."
"Could a peerless-grade heaven-tier alchemical pill be worth more than this?"
Sun Mo looked at the middle-aged man's black hands touching the alchemical pill and immediately felt disgusted.
"Peerless-grade heaven-tier?"
The middle-aged man was shocked. This pill was of a higher grade than what he had expected. No way, he had to get it no matter what. Just when he was thinking of a solution, he saw Sun Mo's expression. He immediately felt joy in his heart and used his hands to rub the alchemical pill.
"If you don't want to exchange, I'll give it to you."
The middle-aged man displayed an arrogant attitude as though he wasn't willing to give them tickets.
As someone who sold tickets all year round, the middle-aged man had seen too many people. That black-haired girl, judging from her demeanor and actions, was someone from a top-notch aristocratic clan.
Such an alchemical pill was very expensive to ordinary people, but to that girl, it was just a snack.
"Forget it, let's go!"
Mei Ziyu didn't want to spoil her mood with Sun Mo because of such a small matter.
"No way."
Sun Mo mentally mused. (I've even beaten up the little prince of Jin Country. How can I lose to a gatekeeper?)
Of course, the most important thing was that Sun Mo hated this kind of behavior the most.
Most of the scenic spots in the entire country were expensive, and many of them didn't live up to their name.
The majority of tourists came from afar. If they didn't take a look, they would feel that it was a loss. But if they entered the scenic spot to take a look, they would feel that it was a loss.
In any case, the idea of the scenic spot was that you tourists would only come once in your lifetime. If I don't rip you off, who would I rip off?
There was simply no integrity.
Because of the dispute between Sun Mo and the middle-aged man, some students started to crowd over.
"If you find it expensive, you can leave. I didn't force you to enter."
The middle-aged man had no fear.
"Teacher Sun, did something happen?"
Duanmu Li happened to be here for his morning exercise. When he saw this scene, he walked over.
"You are..."
This great teacher was so magnanimous.
"I'm Duanmu Li!"
Duanmu Li clasped his fists. "I saw you in class yesterday."
"Nice to meet you!"
Sun Mo hurriedly returned the greeting. After that, he explained concisely, "I've let Teacher Duanmu see a joke."
"What joke?"
Duanmu Li indicated for Sun Mo not to mind. After that, he looked at the middle-aged man. "Why haven't you changed your habit of bullying people from the Central Plains?"
"Hehe, Master Duanmu must be joking. I'm just a gatekeeper. How would I dare to bully great teachers like you?"
The middle-aged man lowered his attitude.
After all, Duanmu Li had been in the Dragon Subduing Academy for ten years. Not only was he a veteran, but he was also a grandmaster in botany and alchemy.
"You don't dare? Then what do you mean by intentionally tarnishing this alchemy pill? "
Duanmu Li reprimanded, "Hurry up and apologize to Great Teacher Sun!"
"Great Teacher Sun? Sun Mo? "
The middle-aged man was stunned. "The one who beat up the little prince?"
"I don't need an apology."
Sun Mo was thinking about how to teach this guy a lesson. As for the middle-aged man, his expression turned into one of amusement.
"If I let this guy suffer a setback here, wouldn't I be able to get some money from the little prince?"
At the thought of this, the middle-aged man felt even more fearless. "Master Duanmu, I'm innocent. I'm just a gatekeeper. How would I know how much this alchemy pill is worth? Hey, I don't want it anymore. Can I return it to him? "
When the middle-aged man handed the alchemy pill over, he even squeezed it hard, causing the beautiful alchemy pill to be stained with black dirt.
"What a waste of heavenly treasures!"
Duanmu Li's expression gradually turned cold. He flicked his sleeves. "Great Teacher Sun, let's go. This guy is really unteachable!"
To Duanmu Li, it was a form of humiliation to speak another word to such a person. He should just punish him directly.
Bzz!
As the sound of Duanmu Li's voice faded, a white arrow formed in the air and penetrated the middle-aged man's forehead. After that, it shot out from the back of his head and turned blood-red.
The expression of the middle-aged man, who had revealed a complacent expression after feeling disgusted by Sun Mo, stiffened and turned sluggish. After that, saliva flowed out from his mouth.
"Ah?"
Sun Mo was a little surprised.
There weren't many punishment-type great teacher halos, but their effects were all very strong. For example, this' unteachable 'had the effect of lowering one's intellect.
Those who were hit by it would directly turn into an idiot.
From Duanmu Li's point of view, arguing with the middle-aged man was a waste of time. Since he was in the wrong, he should just punish him directly.
"This..."
Mei Ziyu wanted to say, wasn't it too harsh to turn someone into an idiot because of a single alchemy pill?
"Teacher Sun, there are some people who are already in their bones. If we don't teach them well, they are like weeds in a field. We should pull them out as soon as possible and not let them affect others."
Duanmu Li spoke frankly with composure and a clear conscience.
"This old slave not only bullied people from the Central Plains, but he also spoke vulgarly to some girls. Because I'm not in charge, I didn't care about it. But today, I don't want to endure it anymore."
Duanmu Li consoled, "Teacher Sun, there's no need to worry. I will explain this matter to Vice-headmaster Murong."
"No, this matter started because of me. I will naturally bear the responsibility."
Sun Mo looked at Duanmu Li's righteous face and was suddenly convinced by his words.
This was an extremely serious great teacher.
If he was an official, he would be a ruthless one. However, there was no way to blame him because the people he punished were all bad people.
"Don't waste time on such minor matters. Are the two of you going to the Dragon Subduing Palace? Why don't I be your guide? "
Duanmu Li recommended himself.
"I'll have to trouble Teacher Duanmu then."
Sun Mo clasped his fists.
This great teacher gave him a very good feeling. He had the image of a strict teacher and was very similar to the teaching director back in high school back then.
Standing on the teleportation formation, Sun Mo's eyes flashed. When the light disappeared, he had already appeared in a great hall.
Here, there were many students sitting cross-legged and meditating.
"The Dragon Subduing Palace is the ultimate treasure of the Dragon Subduing Academy. Although anyone can enter, if they overestimate themselves, they will be heavily injured."
Duanmu Li introduced, "For example, after passing through this corridor, you will arrive at the great hall ahead. It's called the Dragon Roar Great Hall. Every three minutes, a loud dragon roar would ring out. If you can't withstand it, you will vomit blood in a light case, or your heart and lungs will shatter and you will die.
"Of course, if you can endure it, the cultivator's will and flesh will be tempered, allowing their cultivation base to rise rapidly.
