Yang Xuecai was indeed going to die.
Just now, he was only thinking of leaving this place as soon as possible, so he didn't notice that the ginseng's roots had already silently pierced into his flesh.
He wanted to pull it out now, but he didn't have enough strength.
When Sun Mo's group rushed over, they saw a Yang Xuecai whose entire body was covered with ginseng roots. The current Yang Xuecai was emaciated like he had been starving for half a year. Also, his skin was dehydrated and had turned into plant fibrosis.
"Teacher Sun, what is going on?"
Zhang Shihua's heart skipped a beat. After asking the question, he looked at Yang Xuecai's miserable state and rejoiced.
Fortunately, he didn't have the intention to snatch it. Otherwise, he would be the one dead.
"Sun … Sun …"
Yang Xuecai hadn't died yet. When he saw Sun Mo, he struggled, wanting to call for help. However, his breathing was already very weak.
"Yang shi, you should have seen the introduction of the Homing Ginseng in some kind of rare book, right?"
Sun Mo asked. Without waiting for his reply, Sun Mo continued explaining.
"There are very few samples of this kind of top-notch darkness medicinal plant. Even the master botanist who obtained it might not be able to dig out all of its characteristics. At most, he would only record the most common characteristics."
Everyone nodded. That was for sure.
No matter what species it was, there needed to be a large enough sample bank to be able to summarize the pattern. If there was only one species, what if it happened to have a special characteristic?
This was also why the works of those great masters were so highly regarded, because they were infinitely close to the truth.
"Since this kind of ginseng can give its consumer an extra life, don't you think about how strong its life force is?"
Sun Mo teased.
No one spoke. They were all listening attentively.
"You …"
Yang Xuecai's lips quivered, wanting to speak.
"Do you want to ask why I'm fine?"
Sun Mo smiled. "That's because I tampered with it when I gave it to you!"
"This kind of ginseng, even if it's dug out from the ground, it's still alive. You have to make sure it doesn't come into contact with a living person. Before I gave it to you, I made a big hole in the ginseng in a place you can't see."
"This ginseng naturally needs to repair itself, but where will the nutrients come from?"
Pa!
Qin Yaoguang clapped her hands. "I understand. Yang Xuecai is the closest to life, so he was naturally parasitized."
Yang Xuecai was so angry that he wanted to die. He didn't expect that he would fall in such a place.
What a loss!
"Teacher Sun, I'm impressed!"
Huang Chao clasped his hands.
"Teacher Sun, where did you learn this knowledge from?"
Zhang Shihua was curious.
Yang Xuecai, as a 6-star physician and a master teacher of botany, was also a knowledgeable person. He had read many ancient books, otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to recognize this ginseng. However, even he didn't know of this secret.
No, it should be said that among all the botanists in the entire Nine Regions, there were only a few who knew so much about it.
"In the ancient book."
Sun Mo fabricated an excuse.
"Killing without leaving a trace, is this the strength of a master teacher?"
"That's so cool. Using knowledge to defeat the enemy is much cooler than using force."
"I want to be as knowledgeable as you."
Everyone sighed in amazement and looked at Sun Mo in worship, contributing a large wave of favorable impression points.
Lian Fangcao's beautiful eyes gleamed with splendor. Her impression of Sun Mo grew even better.
In their tribe's view, people who liked and understood plants were not bad people.
Sun Mo wrapped the ginseng with cowhide and placed it in his backpack. After that, he personally took care of it.
"Let's go back to camp."
Sun Mo was very happy. This time around, he had profited greatly.
Not only had he obtained a ginseng, but he had also killed the left protector of the black-robed old ancestor. It could be said that he had gotten rid of a great scourge for the great teacher world.
"Speaking of which, what reward would the Saint Gate give for killing a left protector?"
Sun Mo looked at Zhang Shihua.
"A peerless-grade heaven-tier alchemy pill, or a weapon or cultivation art of a corresponding value."
Zhang Shihua was a veteran and was more familiar with these things.
"You guys have to be my witnesses!"
Sun Mo teased.
"That's a must!"
Zhang Shihua smiled apologetically, wanting to say something but hesitating.
An hour later, everyone exited the cave. Sun Mo turned back and glanced at the waterfall before bidding farewell to Zhang Shihua and the others.
"We'll meet again in the future!"
"Teacher Zhang, is there something on your mind?"
Huang Chao asked in a low voice.
"No."
Zhang Shihua shook his head.
"Hehe, Teacher Zhang, you're not being honest. Are you thinking of jumping ship?"
After Huang Chao said that, he saw Zhang Shihua jumping in fright like a dog whose tail had been stepped on. There was no need to ask, he had guessed correctly.
"Impossible! I'm not! Don't talk nonsense! "
Zhang Shihua denied thrice.
It was just that this was what he really thought in his heart.
After this competition, the Central Province Academy would surely ascend to the 'B' grade. It would be higher than the Swallow Sea Academy. The most important thing was that they had great potential.
Sun Mo was already so strong now. In a few decades or even a hundred years later, he would surely become a major character in the great teacher world.
If Huang Chao were to jump ship now and form a good relationship with him, he would definitely benefit greatly.
However, what made him depressed was that Sun Mo didn't poach him!
No matter what, Zhang Shihua was a 5-star great teacher and wanted face. He couldn't bring himself to take the initiative to seek a job.
"Actually, I also want to jump ship."
Huang Chao looked in the direction where Sun Mo had left and sighed. "It's a pity that he doesn't think highly of me!"
"Sigh, why is Sun Mo so strong? He's simply not giving others a way out! "
Zhang Shihua was dealt a heavy blow.
Looking at Sun Mo who was like the rising sun, Zhang Shihua felt that he was like a rotten corpse that had one foot in the grave.
...
Sun Mo didn't expect that his performance would cause two great teachers to want to jump ship. Otherwise, he would definitely not reject anyone.
Who would complain about having too many great teachers at home?
"System, learn and ."
Sun Mo instructed.
In the blink of an eye, a large amount of poison knowledge flowed into Sun Mo's mind.
One couldn't help but say that this knowledge naturally made one feel uncomfortable.
It was like fiddling with dangerous chemicals. Sun Mo's physiology rejected it.
"As expected, I have no talent!"
Sun Mo sighed. However, he still took the initiative to collect plants that could purify poison in case of emergencies.
"Sun Mo, how do you feel about killing Lu Wuyin?"
Li Ruolan was bored and started a random interview.
"I hope the green-robed old ancestor will only take revenge on me and not look for trouble with the teachers and students of the school."
These were heartfelt words.
For a major character like the green-robed old ancestor, if he was determined to cause trouble, ordinary people wouldn't be able to defend against him.
"In that case, we'll kill him as well."
After Bai Xiqing spoke, everyone burst into laughter.
Because this was impossible.
Due to their bountiful harvest, everyone chatted and laughed along the way. The atmosphere was very relaxed. However, after returning to the camp, their expressions changed.
"Where is he?"
Looking at the messy camp, Xianyu Wei was filled with worry. "Was he captured by the bad guys?"
Sun Mo's brows furrowed.
"There are traces of a battle on the ground, but there's no blood. He should have been captured alive."
Helian Beifang checked the surroundings.
"Or maybe he escaped?"
Xianyu Wei tried her best to think positively.
"No, there are no footprints of eldest martial sister and the others."
Helian Beifang denied this possibility.
"What should we do now?"
Xuanyuan Po felt a headache. He could fight, but he was useless in finding people!
