  Sun Mo’s rationale and experience told him that there was a problem with this book. But now, it was already hard for him to dismount since he had gotten on the back of a tiger.

  To Sun Mo whose name was now like the sun in the sky, once he didn’t dare to open this book, it would become a stain in his impressive resume. The haters would begin to use this to weave all sorts of reasons to beat him down.

  Moreover, Sun Mo was a man who wanted face. Hence, he ignored the warning of that great teacher and held the book up as he flipped it open.

  In the eyes of others, it was just a man flipping a book open, an extremely ordinary scene. But in Sun Mo’s eyes, a gorgeous world unfolded as soon as he flipped the book open.

  In this place, there were luxurious cars, beauties, large villas, and successful businesses. All of these belonged to Sun Mo.

  Impressive and cool cars that could flaunt his wealth, gentle beauties to warm his bed!

  Life for the poor was so bitter, like a lash that kept whipping one’s head. Let alone stopping, even slowing down a little meant that you wouldn’t have food tomorrow.

  If you were alone, things would still be fine as one could subsist on wild herbs and grain chaff. But what about those with wives and kids?

  If there was a choice, who would want to work hard?

  Who didn’t want to enjoy benefits from being born in wealth or encountering good luck and becoming rich overnight? Or be good-looking so cougars would keep you as their toyboy?

  Sun Mo was also tired. He wanted to relax completely and tour this world freely, sightseeing in the mountains, enjoying bedtime with ladies while being drunk daily.

  “Teacher Sun? Teacher Sun?”

  The great teachers called out Sun Mo’s name but discovered that he remained still.

  “It’s over, he’s mesmerized.”

  An old great teacher sighed.

  “Captain obvious.”

  Someone snorted in disdain. “Why didn’t you warn him earlier?’

  “It’s because I felt that Teacher Sun might be able to succeed. But from the looks of things now, it doesn’t seem that he can.”

  The old great teacher shook his head.

  “Don’t be in a daze anymore. Let’s quickly go and tell this to the headmaster!”

  Everyone hurried out.

  A while later, Wei Ziyou came and stood at the side as he stared at Sun Mo with a heavy expression.

  He had no solution either.

  This book would create the most beautiful dreamscape for those who read it. If one deciphered it completely and could walk out of the dreamscape, their heart state would improve. But if they got lost in the illusion world, they would be mesmerized completely until they died.

  In the over ten thousand years of history of Jixia Academy, only 19 people had succeeded in walking out from the dreamscape. It sounded plenty, but one must know that these 19 people were either secondary saints or saints when they read this book.

  The surrounding great teachers were as quiet as cicadas in the winter. They were deeply afraid of being reprimanded by Wei Ziyou.

  “Just disperse!”

  Wei Ziyou sighed. He had permitted Sun Mo to read this book because he also had the notion of testing him and teasing him. But now, he regretted it.

  If Sun Mo couldn’t break the dreamscape, the great teacher world would lose a

  treasure.

  “Teacher Sun, wake up!”

  Wei Ziyou called out as a golden light shone from him.

  This was Profound Words and could forcibly make someone listen to his words. He was trying to force Sun Mo awake.

  Now that this halo was cast by a saint, it naturally had immense power.

  “Mn?”

  Sun Mo turned his head and looked at Wei Ziyou. “What’s the matter?”

  “There are five more days until the lectures. You should make your preparations early.”

  Wei Ziyou reminded him.

  “I know!”

  After Sun Mo finished speaking, he lowered his head and continued reading that book.

  He stood there for an entire day and night and didn’t shift his location.

  The students also came, and all of them were very worried. Although Sun Mo would still converse with them, it was clear that he was distracted. Moreover, he would resume reading after he finished talking with them.

  “W…would something bad happen to Teacher?”

  Lu Zhiruo was worried and started crying.

  “Why are you guys so dejected? Be more confident, Teacher will definitely conquer that book!”

  Li Ziqi berated.

  The news of Sun Mo being mesmerized by the book spread around the entire school during that day.

  For the classes on the second day, Sun Mo didn’t head there, and this caused many people to feel that Sun Mo was finished, that he was nothing but a cripple now.

  For the sake of trying to reach the ancestor level, Mei Yazhi had been in her alchemy chamber these few years. Now when she heard this news about Sun Mo, she could no longer sit still.

  “Teacher, you can’t leave now. If you do, this cauldron of pills would be wasted!”

  Her disciple saw Mei Yazhi wanting to leave and grew anxious. The value of the pills here was worth tens of thousands of spirit stones. It would be too much of a pity if they were wasted.

  “Just let them be wasted!”

  Mei Ziyu angrily cursed. (My son-in-law is about to be crippled, why would I still care about this cauldron of pills?)

  (Hmph, if something happens to my son-in-law, I will annihilate the clans of those who urged him to ‘read’ that book.)

  Mei Yazhi angrily rushed to the Heaven-Ask Library and headed straight to the fifth-floor, rushing to Sun Mo.

  “Sun Mo, stop reading. All these illusions you are seeing are falsehoods!”

  Mei Yazhi’s father had told her before that if her cultivation realm hadn’t reached the Secondary Saint level, she must never flip through this book.

  “Aunty Mei.”

  Sun Mo greeted. After that, he revealed a bitter-looking and vexed expression. “I don’t want to work hard anymore!”

  “Ah?”

  Mei Yazhi didn’t understand what Sun Mo meant, but at this moment, he definitely needed people to console him. Hence, she walked toward Sun Mo’s side.

  “Are you tired? Just take a break then. Look at the beautiful scenery in the distance. Just wait until you are fully recovered before you set off on your path again.”

  Bzz

  Priceless Advice activated.

  Sun Mo’s expression turned gentle.

  (Sigh, this child is really tired!)

  It was indeed so when she thought about it. Sun Mo was so young but already had such major achievements. How much sweat and effort did he put in behind everyone’s back? There was no need to mention the others following his example. They would be so scared that they would lose control of their bowels when they heard about it.

  Mei Yazhi’s motherly love overflowed and involuntarily embraced Sun Mo as she patted his back.

  “If you have any difficulties in the future, feel free to look for your m…Aunty Mei!”

  Mei Yazhi almost said the word ‘mother-in-law’.

  “Aunty Mei, what do you want me to do?”

  “Mn?”

  Mei Yazhi could clearly feel that Sun Mo’s mental state was not in good condition. She actually wanted to say ‘just marry my daughter.’ But no matter what, she was from a prestigious clan and she felt embarrassed to say something so blunt.

  “Help me to concoct a pill?”

  Mei Yazhi suggested. (In any case, I have to try and make Sun Mo give up reading this book first.)

  “I have no interest in alchemy!”

  Sun Mo frowned. However, it wasn’t too good for him to reject a request from Aunt Mei. Hence, he continued. “But let me give you an alchemy prescription.”

  Sun Mo recalled the detailed prescription for the (Heaven and Earth Soul Returnal Pill] and his right hand glowed with white light.

  After that, he aimed a punch toward Mei Yazhi’s head.

  Boom!

  A white ball of light entered Mei Yazhi’s mind and germinated instantly in her neurons.

  “You…”

  Mei Yazhi bitterly smiled, mentally musing that Sun Mo was too brash. For great teacher halos like Soul Imprint and Enlightenment Provision, other great teachers usually wouldn’t accept them. What if their world view, world values, and world ideology changed?

  Some despicable dark great teachers would use Enlightenment Provision to change the world view, world values, and world ideology of kids and transform them into puppets.

  But in the blink of an eye, Mei Yazhi no longer cared about this because the prescription Sun Mo had passed mentally to her was simply too valuable.

  “T…this…”

  Mei Yazhi was stunned. “Teacher Mei, are you okay?”

  “Brat, what did you do to Teacher Mei?”

  “Why are you not hurrying up to apologize? Don’t force me to smash your head!”

  Those males in love with Mei Yazhi immediately jumped out when they saw this scene, hoping that they could gain a favorable impression from her.

  “Why are you guys being so noisy?”

  Mei Yazhi berated.

  She knew that she should immediately rush back to her alchemy chamber as her mind was filled with inspiration. But if she left like this after obtaining Sun Mo’s alchemy prescription, wouldn’t that seem a little emotionless?

  Even for Pan Jinlian, before she poisoned her husband, she washed his feet and slept with him a few times first. Hence, she couldn’t possibly be more inferior than Pan Jinlian, right?

  Oh yes, this Pan Jinlian character was in a book written by Sun Mo.

  Luckily, Mei Yazhi spotted her daughter in the crowd with a single glance.

  “Ziyu, take good care of Sun Mo!”

  Mei Yazhi reminded her. “If something happened to him, I will peel your skin!”

  “Ah?”

  Mei Ziyu was stunned. (Am I still your birth daughter? Why are you treating Sun Mo so well?)

  (Wait a minute, could it be that you have some nefarious thoughts toward Sun Mo?)

  In an instant, Mei Ziyu’s tiny face turned pale white. If she had to vie with her mother for a man, her petite figure would surely lose.

  Those males around here who were fond of Mei Yazhi were like they just got struck by thunder.

  (What’s the meaning of this?)

  (Is Mei Yazhi already planning to treat Sun Mo as her son-in-law?)

  Mei Yazhi rushed back to her alchemy chamber with her fastest speed, leaving behind a group of people with dumbfounded expressions.

  “Quick, clean the pill furnace!”

  As Mei Yazhi instructed, she sat down and took out a writing brush to record all the ingredients that were required.

  “Teacher, although the pills are destroyed, we can still make good use of the medicinal dregs.”

  The disciple persuaded.

  She truly felt heartache. The alchemy pills had value over tens of thousands of spirit stones, and they would be wasted just like this. (Teacher, you are such a wastrel.)

  “Luckily, I went to see Sun Mo or I would have regretted my entire life!”

  Mei Yazhi rolled her eyes. “Don’t talk nonsense. Quickly go and clean the furnace. Later on, we are going to concoct a divine pill.”

  “Divine pill?”

  The disciple blinked his eyes. (Are you sure this is the correct term?)

  “Is the Heaven and Earth Soul Returnal Pill a divine pill or not?”

  Mei Yazhi bragged.

  “What?” The disciple was badly shocked. “Wasn’t that lost long ago?”

  The alchemy pills in the Nine Provinces were divided into tiers. The better the effect, the higher the tier.

  The Heaven and Earth Soul Returnal Pill was something that could cause anyone whose mind or soul was damaged to fully recover. Simply speaking, it was one of the strongest pills for the soul-type domain.

  For example, if a great teacher’s soul died, leaving behind an empty body, if they consumed this pill, their body would immediately make use of the remnant soul aura within it to reforge their soul anew.

  Mental problems, retardation, depression, this pill could cure anything. However, because the effect of this alchemy pill was overly strong, everyone wanted it. Hence, in the past, massacres had occurred for the sake of seizing the pill prescription to the point where it was eventually lost in time.

  “Teacher Sun gave it to me!”

  Mei Yazhi also felt that she now owed Sun Mo a favor that was too huge to repay. However, she also felt reluctant to give this up. After all, if she succeeded in concocting this pill, her current alchemy skills would improve tremendously, and her status in the alchemy world would surge higher.

  “Ah? But why?”

  The disciple was dumbstruck. She almost blurted was Sun Mo a retard?

  This alchemy prescription was worth 100 cities!

  Even if this was used as a dowry, the value was more than enough to marry both Mei Yazhi and Mei Ziyu, and Sun Mo would still have lost out.

  “Maybe he wants me to concoct this pill so he can treat the old headmaster of the Central Province Academy?”

  This was the only reason Mei Yazhi could think of. “Aiya, stop talking nonsense and act quickly!”

  Sun Mo actually had this intention. This alchemy prescription was something he had obtained from a chest after he became a 7-stars. Since he didn’t know how to concoct pills, he could only ask others to help.

  Through his connection with Mei Ziyu, Mei Yazhi was undoubtedly the most reliable one.

  If it wasn’t for the fact that Mei Yazhi was always in the alchemy chamber and it wasn’t convenient for Sun Mo to disturb her, he would have long since given her the prescription.

  The date for the Jixia Rostrum Lecture was about to arrive, but Sun Mo still showed no signs of regaining his senses.

  How worrisome!

  Chapter 1282 Although This Place Is Good, It Isn’t Where I Am From

  Nine days had passed, and Sun Mo hadn’t even eaten or slept. He simply stood before the shelf and kept looking at the book. His mesmerized appearance was like a boy that just knew the existence of po*n. They would feel unbearable if they stopped watching for one day. “What should we do?” Gu Xiuxun was so worried that she didn’t eat anything for three days. Her entire person grew skinnier by a size. Everyone fell silent. After knowing the ‘battle achievements of this book, everyone immediately fell into a bad mood. If it wasn’t for the fact that they knew they would lose in a fight, they would definitely head over to find Wei Ziyou and demand justice. “If this continues, even if our teacher doesn’t die, his body would be damaged!”

  Xianyu Wei felt a heartache.

  Sun Mo had grown skinnier. It was as though he had made too much love, causing his face to be pale and his hair to wither and turn yellow. He seemed to now have a suboptimal health status.

  “Eldest Martial Sister, why don’t you use Unrealized Dream to pull Teacher back to reality?”

  Qin Yaoguang suggested. “You must never do that!”

  Mei Ziyu hurriedly stopped them. She didn’t know if they would collapse Sun Mo’s consciousness by doing this. “It’s better to pursue certainty!”

  Li Ziqi also didn’t dare to act recklessly and stared worriedly with heartache at Sun Mo. She then encouraged her junior martial siblings. “Teacher is an absolute genius. I believe he would be able to do what no one can do and succeed in subduing this mysterious book.”

  Hence, time passed day by day, like how a flirty girl ditched her simps that were also her ATMs with rapid haste, with no reluctance.

  “Tomorrow is the date for the Jixia Lecture, but I heard that Great Teacher Sun is still immersed in reading that book.” “Sigh, he is too egotistical. How can the mysterious book of our Jixia Academy be so easily deciphered? This time around, Great Teacher Sun would surely suffer a major setback.” “It’s fine if he suffered a setback, I’m afraid he might even lose his life.” The teachers and students of the entire school were in discussion. Some of them who were jealous of him felt joy at his misfortune. After all, some people did like seeing the world burn. The night passed, and it was sunny the next day.

  Just after the sun rose, over 3,000 people had gathered in the central public square. There were even more people coming.

  With just a casual glance, one would be able to see many great teachers. 6 and 7-stars that were usually rare to encounter were here in droves.

  Sun Mo’s great name, in addition to this majestic event, the ‘Jixia Rostrum Lecture’, would cause many great teachers to come from afar for the sake of listening to expand their horizons and upgrade themselves. “It’s over! It’s over!” In an alleyway, Lu Zhiruo stared at the fully-packed venue and felt so anxious that her shirt was drenched by her sweat. If her teacher still didn’t come, all his previously accumulated reputation would be destroyed in a single day. Others wouldn’t care what reasons you had. As long as you missed the Jixia Rostrum lecture, it simply meant that your standard wasn’t high enough and you got cold feet at the last moment.

  “Calm down!”

  Li Ziqi consoled the papaya girl, but the nails on her right hand that was hidden in her sleeve were digging tightly into her palm. At ten, the time for the Jixia Lecture arrived. “Where is Great Teacher Sun? Why isn’t he on the rostrum?”

  “He’s a great teacher yet he is not punctual? Isn’t this too disrespectful to the audience?”

  “I heard that an accident has occurred.”

  The sound of discussion grew increasingly louder among the crowd.

  “Eldest Martial Sister, what should we do?”

  Lu Zhiruo was so anxious that she was about to cry.

  “I’ll go!”

  Li Ziqi bit her red lips.

  “What?”

  The students were stunned.

  “Don’t act recklessly!” Mei Ziyu jumped in fright and hurriedly stopped her. Mei Ziyu had followed them and was preparing to explain Sun Mo’s current situation to the audience. But speaking of her giving a lecture to the audience? Even a genius from a great teacher family like her didn’t have the guts to do so. “I’ll go and warm the crowd up, delaying for some time!”

  Li Ziqi drew in a deep breath. “There’s no precedent of this.”

  Mei Ziyu was worried Li Ziqi might screw things up. “There will be one starting from today!”

  After Li Ziqi finished speaking, she activated the Skyward Spirit Rune and her entire body soared into the sky, flying toward the rostrum located in the central public square.

  “Quickly look, someone is here!” “Eh? Sun Mo is actually a female great teacher?” “Hehe, she’s really beautiful. I didn’t make a wasted trip here!”

  The crowd discussed.

  In the Heaven-Ask Library, Wei Ziyou stared at Sun Mo who was still mesmerized by the book, and he felt so much regret that even his intestines turned green. “Teacher Sun, it’s time to lecture at the Jixia Rostrum. That’s a major incident in your life!”

  Wei Ziyou cast Profound Words.

  However, Sun Mo didn’t have the slightest bit of reaction.

  Compared to a few days ago, Sun Mo was even more mesmerized now.

  In the beautiful dreamscape.

  The birds were chirping and the flowers were fragrant. The beauties here were like they were made of jades!

  Sun Mo opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling. Below his body was a warm and soft large bed, and beside him was a voluptuous female.

  “Lord husband, you’ve awakened?”

  Sun Mo inclined his head and saw Jin Mujie cupping his face with her hands and staring unblinkingly at him.

  “No matter how much I look at your face, I feel it’s insufficient!”

  Jin Mujie spoke and stretched out her head to kiss his face.

  “Hehe!”

  Sun Mo felt somewhat embarrassed.

  “Wake up and go do your morning ablutions. I’m going to make breakfast for you!” After Jin Mujie finished speaking, she got off the bed and undressed before changing into a T-shirt before Sun Mo’s eyes.

  Sun Mo’s gaze involuntarily landed before Jin Mujie’s chest.

  (How large… truly ferocious and capable of causing people to blush with quickened heartbeats!) Sun Mo felt somewhat embarrassed. He shifted his gaze away but soon turned his gaze right back.

  There was nothing he could do as he was a man. Only a ghost could endure such a thing. Sun Mo lay for another minute before getting off the bed. After that, he looked at the sunlight streaming down the window. Outside the balcony, he saw jade seas and blue skies as a sense of contentment and satisfaction filled his heart.

  Huge house, beautiful wife, successful businesses…

  (Wait a minute.)

  (Wife?)

  Sun Mo looked at Jin Mujie again. (I do indeed love bre*sts, but I’ve always guarded my body well, abided by a promise, and have never fooled around…)

  (I should have a fiancee though.) In Sun Mo’s mind, the name ‘An Xinhui’ was like a thunderbolt that left behind a deep scar.

  As a single man since birth that had not touched a woman in all his thirty years, Sun Mo always felt very vexed about this matter.

  Back then, during the fourth year of his university life, Sun Mo’s greatest regret was the fact that he couldn’t get a girlfriend. So, when facing women, Sun Mo had always felt self-inferior, thirst, and trepidation. “Lord husband, it’s time to eat!”

  Jin Mujie called out and came to the bedroom.

  Sun Mo didn’t reply. His hands were on the railings of the balcony as he stared into the distance. “Lord husband?” Jin Mujie walked over and hugged him from behind. “What’s wrong?” “It’s about time for me to leave!”

  Sun Mo sighed. “Why?” Jin Mujie didn’t understand. “Are you unhappy here?” As Jin Mujie spoke, she hugged him even tighter. “Although this place is good, it isn’t where I am from!” Sun Mo inhaled deeply. “There are still many people who miss me, and they are definitely waiting for me to return!”

  “Don’t you love me anymore?”

  Jin Mujie sobbed.

  “I don’t!”

  Sun Mo turned and looked at Jin Mujie. “This is just an illusion, a dreamscape that was weaved around my desires. I love huge papayas, but I won’t give up my responsibility.” Sun Mo was precisely someone like this. The words of a man were worth a thousand gold. Why had Sun Mo spoken so many times about visiting brothels but eventually chose not to

  go?

  Because he was unwilling to let An Xinhui down!

  He knew that the greatest dream of the real Sun Mo was to marry An Xinhui and help her to build the Central Province Academy, bringing it back into the ranks of the Nine Greats. Sun Mo hated owning others, especially so for favors. Since he was living by borrowing this body, he would naturally do his best to fulfill the wish of the original owner. After that, the two of them wouldn’t owe each other anything. “Dreams might be good, but there ought to be a bottom line!”

  Sun Mo laughed and stroked Jin Mujie’s hair. “Thanks for allowing me to enjoy a period of happiness!” “Teacher, stay behind and accompany me!” When Jin Mujie lifted her head again, she suddenly changed into Lu Zhiruo’s appearance. Her papaya grew even larger. In fact, she even took the initiative to remove her t-shirt.

  “Teacher, I need you!”

  Sun Mo, who was originally very gentle, suddenly trembled as his countenance darkened. As great anger rose in his heart, he didn’t hesitate and punched out. “You are insulting my profession, my character, and my student!”

  Boom!

  Sun Mo’s iron fist heavily smashed into Lu Zhiruo’s head.

  Bang!

  Her head exploded. After that, it was like a stone being thrown on the lake’s surface. The vibration caused countless ripples, and everything before Sun Mo shattered like a broken mirror as each fragment dissipated.

  Sun Mo’s consciousness returned to his body.

  After that, he stared at the book in his hand, and the experiences he had during the past tens of days started to flash before his eyes.

  “Shh!”

  Wei Ziyou was the first person to discover that a fluctuation had occurred in Sun Mo’s mental state. He then hurriedly made a shushing gesture. After that, he widened his eyes and attentively surveyed Sun Mo.

  (It can’t be, right? He really managed to throw off the shackles of this book and broke out from the dreamscape?) “What time is it now?”

  Sun Mo asked. “16th of October, 10 a.m.”

  Wei Ziyou replied. “Isn’t it time for the Jixia Rostrum Lecture?”

  Sun Mo was astonished.

  “Mn!”

  Wei Ziyou hesitated but eventually still urged him. “No matter how good or bad your lecture is or whether you are fully prepared or not, going will always be better than not going!” He was worried that Sun Mo might give up halfway. “Mn!”

  Sun Mo nodded before falling silent. Everyone didn’t dare to urge him and could only be silently anxious. Murong Mingyue couldn’t bear to watch this anymore. Just when she wanted to speak out, a resplendent pink-colored glow emitted from Sun Mo.

  After that, pink flower petals like snowflakes drifting around the sky suddenly materialized out of nowhere and started floating down. They emitted a fragrance that seeped into the hearts of people, and they had the ability to silently bring people into an illusory dreamscape.

  “T…this is Unrealized Dream?”

  Everyone was dumbstruck.

  Evidently, Sun Mo had just comprehended a great teacher halo.

  Many people then revealed expressions of envy.

  No one had expected that Sun Mo would actually encounter fortune from misfortune.

  Geniuses were truly people who existed for others to look up to. Unrealized Dream was a relatively rare great teacher halo. With it, the great teacher could create a dreamscape based on their thoughts and allow students to experience life and comprehend logic. (As the saying goes, there’s no medicine for regret in this world.) When many people were old, they would regret not working hard enough in their youth and not cherishing their opportunities. After that, Unrealized Dream would create an illusion world that tied them with their past experiences and enlightened them. “Congratulations to Teacher Sun on comprehending Unrealized Dream!” Wei Ziyou congratulated him.

  He didn’t feel strange as Sun Mo had broken out of the dreamscape with his own capabilities. It would then be strange if he had no harvest.

  Sun Mo didn’t reply. A few great teachers around felt that Sun Mo seemed to be overdoing it, but soon after, they discovered that Sun Mo’s eyes were unfocused. He seemed to have sunk into a certain type of contemplation.

  “What the hell?”

  Even Wei Ziyou was puzzled. (Why did you suddenly sink into contemplation?)

  (If you still don’t head to the Jixia Rostrum, your reputation would be ruined.) “Sun Mo!”

  Murong Mingyue glanced at her pocket watch. They couldn’t afford to wait any longer. Just when she wanted to call his name again, another golden light emitted from Sun Mo’s body.

  Swish~

  A golden halo with Sun Mo at the center started to shine and illuminate the entire library. “Mn? This feeling…it seems to be Grand Ambition?”

  “That’s right, this is it. Right now, I can feel ambition surging in my chest. I can’t wait to devote myself to my career!” “Awesome, is this comprehending two halos at one go?” The great teachers who were qualified to watch Sun Mo here were all high star-ranking great teachers of the Jixia Academy. It was unknown how many geniuses and miracles they had witnessed before. But right now, all of them were stunned by Sun Mo. He had actually comprehended two halos in one go?

  His talent was truly unrivaled in the world, with no exceptions.

  Many great teachers stared at the book in Sun Mo’s hands and wanted to take a look. But in the end, they shook their heads and sighed in their hearts, deciding to give up on this notion. Not everyone was as impressive as Sun Mo! If they carelessly flipped through it, there was an 80% to 90% chance that they might die in the dreamscape.

  Wei Ziyou’s eyes were filled with heat as he looked at Sun Mo. He wanted to have Sun Mo and nurture him as a headmaster candidate. “Grand Ambition?”

  Sun Mo started.

  After that, he laughed. Indeed, although Sun Mo had dreams before, to be honest, who would know even if he didn’t achieve them? It was like the saying, you have to be in the scene or you won’t be able to understand. Also, as a successful man in the dreamscape, Sun Mo had tasted the feeling of achieving his dreams.

  It was like a fragrant and sweet wine, a delicious delicacy, and a magnificent life!

  People with great ambitions would be tall and imposing regardless of their looks, shining brightly their entire life! This halo could allow one to establish their goal and obtain a lofty ideal, causing the endpoint of their journey to be one that spurred them to reach the peak of saints.

  Pak!

  Sun Mo closed the book in his hands and bowed to Wei Ziyou and the other great teachers here. “Sun Mo is really thankful that headmaster and so many great teachers have shown concern for me all this while!”

  “No problem, no problem!”

  Everyone was modest.

  “The time isn’t early anymore, so I should head to the central public square first!”

  After Sun Mo finished speaking, he circulated his spirit energy and activated the Skyward Spirit Rune, directly flying out of the window. Murong Mingyue hurriedly followed him.

  The other great teachers were startled for a moment before all of them rushed out.

  What a joke. Sun Mo was so impressive, if they didn’t manage to hear his lecture, they would surely regret it for their entire lives. (Damn, that fellow broke another record again.) In the great teacher world, great teachers who could comprehend two halos in a single day were so rare that they could be counted on one’s fingers. And every single one of them had become saints.

  At the central public square, on the tall rostrum, Li Ziqi didn’t have a stage fright and spoke frankly with assurance.

  In order to grab everyone’s attention, she spoke about the spirit rune language programming

  “What is she talking about? I can’t understand at all!”

  Many people grumbled, but very soon, their voices were suppressed by fewer people but with louder voices.

  “Can you guys shut up?” Those spirit runists kept squeezing their way forward. They were not only listening very seriously, but they were even taking down notes. Once they saw people complaining, they immediately hushed them.

  Hence, although many people were suspicious why Sun Mo didn’t come and why the person on the rostrum was a female, these great teachers who were spirit runists directly suppressed all their doubts and suspicions.

  Chapter 1283 Jixia Lecture, A Commotion In The Nine Provinces!

  Regardless of the era, as long as the girl was beautiful, they would surely enjoy some advantages when they worked in society.

  Li Ziqi was the same as well. She had a beautiful face and innately caused people to feel a favorable impression of her. Although no one understood what she was talking about, it didn’t matter. It was enough as long as she was good-looking

  The only regret was that her chest was too small.

  For the great teachers, even if they didn’t understand the study of spirit runes, they were immersed in Li Ziqi’s lecture because their experience told them that this was something

  good.

  Right now, the atmosphere was very good, but Li Ziqi felt a headache.

  She couldn’t possibly keep on lecturing, right?

  Honestly speaking, she depended on the unprecedented ‘spirit rune language programming’ to rise to glory. If one really looked at her foundation, Li Ziqi was not qualified enough to give a lecture here yet.

  (Teacher, please come quickly?)

  Li Ziqi piously prayed.

  All of a sudden, an imposing finger descended from the blue skies and landed on the rostrum. “Teacher!”

  Li Ziqi’s expression became filled with joy. The pressure that felt akin to ten-thousand-jin of weight on her shoulders instantly vanished.

  “It has been tough on you.” Sun Mo smiled. “Your performance is excellent.”

  “Hehe!”

  Li Ziqi smiled sweetly.

  This smile of her caused an unknown number of males on the scene to be moved as the seeds of love germinated in their hearts.

  “I’ve waited on the bridge and endured through spring and summer. The maple leaves are already red and have fallen on the ground, yet here I am, still waiting for that girl I love to come!”

  A great teacher spoke as his intonation rose and fell.

  “Don’t act like a poet and speak so loftily. It’s useless even if you wait for an immortal to descend. Do you know who she is? She is Li Ziqi, the female emperor of the Great Tang!”

  Someone mocked. “Right, she once recited a hundred poems in a dinner banquet hosted by the Qi Palace. Her talent is top-tier in the Nine Provinces!”

  “What era is this already? You are still trying to act like an educated scholar to swindle girls? What shallow judgment.”

  The males were all looking at Li Ziqi while the girls, with no exceptions, were all looking at Sun Mo.

  “Isn’t he a little too handsome?”

  The main point was that Sun Mo was exceptionally young.

  In the past, those who could lecture on the Jixia Rostrum were all old and elderly people. The wrinkles on their faces were so deep that they could break the legs of mosquitos, but Sun Mo was like a young lad in his early twenties.

  “What do you mean? He is merely 30 years

  old!”

  Those who know about Sun Mo’s specific information immediately exposed it.

  “When he broke through to the Longevity Realm, he was merely 23 or 24 years old.”

  “Doesn’t that mean that he can maintain his youthful looks for at least 500 years?”

  “It’s actually fine even if his appearance ages a bit. Don’t forget that his God Hands can do cosmetic surgery.”

  In the public square, numerous whispers abounded. This was especially so for those elderly great teachers who came from far away. All of them revealed doubtful expressions and were wondering whether Sun Mo’s great fame was a result of secret machinations and exaggerations.

  After all, his appearance was too tender. (As the saying goes, if you have no hair on your mouth, you won’t be able to handle jobs well!)

  The elders were used to judging a junior based on their age to see whether they were reliable enough or not.

  “Thank you, everyone for listening to the lecture given by my student, Li Ziqi!”

  “Great Teacher Sun, why are you late?” Someone doubted. “You have to give us a reason no matter what, right?”

  “Teacher Sun has been deciphering a heavenly book in the Heaven-Ask Library during these few days. He just succeeded earlier.”

  Wei Ziyou executed Lotus Step and descended from the sky. He was afraid someone might intentionally make things difficult for Sun Mo, hence, he decided to come over. “He has also just comprehended two halos, Unrealized Dream and Grand Ambition in one go, creating a beautiful legend for the great teacher world.”

  “What heavenly book?”

  “The two mysterious books in the Heaven-Ask Library. One of the books must not be read, and the others would cause you to be mesmerized and trapped inside a dreamscape. I wonder which of them he deciphered?”

  “Wait a minute, should we be shocked by Sun Mo comprehending two halos at one go?”

  Ordinary people didn’t know what concept this was, but all the great teachers here were dumbfounded.

  An ordinary teacher needed three years to comprehend a great teacher halo, and as their star-rank rose, the amount of time needed would increase. Meanwhile, Sun Mo was already qualified to apply for the 8-stars examination, yet he still managed to comprehend two halos in one go…

  “Great Teacher Sun, can you please be a human!”

  Some great teachers didn’t know whether to laugh or cry and could only tease. No one suspected that this was fake because the person speaking was the headmaster of Jixia Academy, Wei Ziyou. He was a saint, and each of his words was worth their weight in gold. He definitely wouldn’t lie.

  When Li Ziqi got down the rostrum, she felt her legs growing somewhat soft. Luckily, Jiang Leng had been paying attention and immediately went over to support her.

  “Things can be considered stable.”

  Upon seeing her teacher introducing himself and speaking frankly with assurance, going on with the normal procedure of lectures, the little sunny egg finally heaved a sigh of relief.

  Next, they just had to wait for their teacher’s name to shake the Nine Provinces.

  “Cultivation is a systematic course. It’s basically the understanding and management of your body. However, some people feel that as long as they work hard enough, they will have some achievements. I will tell you right now that such thinking is incorrect.”

  Sun Mo spoke and his words immediately caused an uproar.

  Because based on the traditional knowledge of people from the Nine Provinces, working hard and being industrious were the best characteristics. As long as one worked hard, one would surely achieve something. Yet, in the end, Sun Mo immediately negated it the moment he spoke. “I’ll explain the theory of this subject. Its name is Medical Cultivation!”

  Sun Mo stared at the audience. “Facts speak louder than words. Before I start my lecture, I plan to play a little game. No matter who you are, as long as you have problems when it comes to cultivation, feel free to raise your hand and ask me questions.”

  “It’s coming! It’s coming!”

  Qin Yaoguang grew excited. “Teacher is going to start a ‘massacre’.” Wei Ziyou nodded in agreement when he saw this. Sun Mo’s theory was newly created by him. Hence, if he spoke, people would find the theories dull and dry. If that was the case, he might as well start with a ‘game’ like how he helped people to achieve breakthroughs in a lecture, creating a commotion, before continuing on with his lecture. Things would definitely be smooth-sailing then.

  Sun Mo was no longer a newbie who had just started teaching. He was deeply experienced and his skill in the ancient massaging technique had reached perfection. In addition to the assistance from Divine Sight, Sun Mo consciously chose cultivators who were currently stuck at a bottleneck. After that, he started to ‘surpass the gods’.

  A person achieved a breakthrough! Two people achieved a breakthrough!

  After half an hour, ten people had achieved a breakthrough, there was no failure at all. This miracle-like performance directly stunned everyone.

  “The bodies of humans require scientific management.”

  Sun Mo’s voice was as gentle as jade and was very ‘infectious’. “I will make an inappropriate example. For some farmers, they raise cattle. During busy seasons and when they have to work in the fields, don’t they monitor the health of the cattle every day and won’t allow them to be overly fatigued?”

  Many great teachers started taking down notes and using image-recording stones. The more they listened, the more they felt that what Sun Mo said was logical.

  Sun Mo heaved a sigh of relief when he saw this scene. After that, he grew somewhat excited. He should have succeeded.

  However, these people all stood on the shoulders of giants.

  Leaving aside modern sports where athletes had to manage and take care of their bodies, even when ordinary people were doing fitness-related exercises, they would have a training plan.

  Just drinking protein powder alone wouldn’t aid you in building a body full of muscles.

  Wei Ziyou stood below the stage. As he listened to Sun Mo speaking about nutrition, he also glanced at the great teachers at the scene. Even those high star-ranking great teachers that looked like stubborn old fools were now obediently taking down notes like studious and inquisitive elementary school students.

  If it wasn’t for the fact that the time for asking questions wasn’t here yet, Wei Ziyou believed that they would surely ask so many questions that Sun Mo would drown in them.

  “From now onward, the efficiency of cultivation will be increased several times!”

  Wei Ziyou silently thanked Sun Mo. It could be said that Sun Mo, by himself alone, had given a whole new definition and explanation of the concept ‘cultivation’.

  After that, two hours passed and when the time was close to 1 p.m., Sun Mo concluded his lectures. However, the cultivators on the scene sincerely expressed that they still wanted Sun Mo to continue.

  When 3 p.m. arrived, Sun Mo brought up concluding the lecture and continuing tomorrow once more, but everyone objected again.

  Hence, Sun Mo lectured for an entire day until 8 p.m. to the point where the moon was in the sky.

  Today, Sun Mo systematically expounded on the content of Medical Cultivation, including scientific training, routine checkup, and logical diet…

  It sounded simple when hearing it, but after one organized all the information, it was a very deep subject.

  “Drinking a cup of milk every day would strengthen the people of the Nine Provinces!”

  Lastly, Sun Mo used this sentence as an ending and concluded his first day of the lecture.

  When Sun Mo got down from the rostrum, everyone gave him thunderous applause. This was the best response.

  “So, eating more meat, eggs, and milk is for our body to obtain more protein. This is then the fundamental reason why humans can grow stronger!”

  As the saying goes, the poor can only study while the rich can do martial arts. This was because the poor had no way to train in martial arts because martial artists ate a lot and ordinary families couldn’t afford it.

  Before listening to Sun Mo’s lecture, everyone felt that martial artists were only people with great appetites because they had to expend a lot of energy. But from the looks of things now, if one wanted to have accomplishments in the martial path, these ‘foods’ he mentioned were a type of energy source that one mustn’t lack. Cultivators not only had to eat, but they even had to put an emphasis on what they ate, paying attention to the finer details. In just a single day, Sun Mo had convinced the majority of the audience. Some had been planning to make things difficult for him, but they eventually chose not to do anything and listened seriously to the lecture.

  On the second day, during his opening, Sun Mo did the same and helped ten people to achieve a breakthrough

  Once again, it was a 100% success rate, and it completely verified Sun Mo’s beautiful reputation as a man with God Hands. This also caused a commotion among the cultivators. All of them wanted nothing more than to immediately get a massage from Sun Mo.

  After the lecture began, Sun Mo started to divide the content as he explained the theory and meaning of scientific cultivation.

  Because Sun Mo had studied medical studies before, although his knowledge wasn’t profound, it was more than enough for him to talk about it in a lecture. In the afternoon, Sun Mo still didn’t eat. Other than taking a ten-minute break every two hours, Sun Mo taught the entire day.

  The third day was the same, and the response was exceedingly excellent.

  “It’s definite, Great Teacher Sun is getting his 8-stars title.”

  “How envious, an 8-stars great teacher at 30 years old. Even if one wanted to trade the position of an emperor for this, no one would accept it.”

  “There are emperors everywhere, but for such a young 8-stars, ever since the occupation ‘great teacher’ was created, there has never been one before!”

  In Han City, in all the alleyways, in tea shops and restaurants, even when people were in the latrines, they were all discussing Sun Mo.

  In the world, who wouldn’t have a few friends? Hence, they hurriedly wrote letters and told their friends about what had happened.

  Some people couldn’t afford the travel fees, or they were too busy and couldn’t come in person initially. But once they received the letters from their friends, they were willing to sacrifice everything they had to gather enough travel fees to rush here.

  So, more and more people carried their luggage and started to rush to Han City. On the fourth day, before the sky turned bright, many great teachers had gathered in the central public square. All of them had come here early to get a good seat.

  Although Sun Mo had Lingering Sound and could allow his voice to spread through the venue, everyone still preferred to listen to Sun Mo’s teachings at a nearer distance. After all, the nearer they were, the higher the possibility they might be selected by Sun Mo.

  However, during the fourth day, Sun Mo changed the content of his lecture.

  “Today, we will be speaking about the study spirit runes.”

  Upon hearing this, the great teachers immediately grew solemn and respectful.

  No one dared to look down on Sun Mo.

  This was a man who depended on the Skyward Spirit Rune to become an absolute genius, an ancestor-level spirit runist at the age of 25.

  Right now, everyone in the Nine Provinces wanted the Skyward Spirit Rune very badly.

  Moreover, there were rumors saying that Sun Mo had the qualifications to apply for the 8-stars exam and his learning result had something to do with spirit runes.

  Sun Mo then took out the spirit particle calculator and showed everyone.

  15 minutes later, the entire scene was in an uproar once again. The great teachers kept squeezing forward, wanting to take a look at this machine that was capable of calculations.

  “You can get the answer to your calculations just by inputting some numbers?”.

  The people of the Nine Provinces were still living in a farming civilization. How could they understand such high-tech?

  They felt it was a miracle.

  So once Sun Mo started to expound on this topic, all the great teachers began to listen incomparably seriously.

  However, the ordinary people were all depressed because they couldn’t understand what Sun Mo was talking about. Also, there were no good shows such as achieving a breakthrough on the spot to watch.

  But even so, they didn’t choose to leave. They used image-recording stones to record the content of Sun Mo’s lecture and were preparing to sell it for money.

  All of a sudden, a golden light was emitted from the body of someone in the crowd, illuminating the area.

  “What’s going on?”

  “This is comprehending a great teacher halo!”

  “It’s Sudden Insight!”

  The ordinary people chattered. This was something they rarely saw “Many thanks for Teacher Sun’s teachings!”

  S

  W.

  The great teacher who comprehended the halo bowed with gratitude toward Sun Mo. “What is a Great Teacher of the Nine Provinces?”

  Lu Zhiruo bragged complacently with her hands placed on her waist. She leaned back and lifted her huge papayas. “This is it!”

  The students all felt extremely glorious.

  The effect of their teacher’s lectures was extremely good. The feedback was super good as well.

  In the following two days, Sun Mo’s lectures didn’t lack people who would occasionally comprehend great teacher halos. This was because his content was unprecedented and unique in the Nine Provinces, allowing the listeners to broaden their horizons.

  “Tomorrow is the last day of the lecture.”

  During dinner time, Lu Zhiruo drank fruit juice and did a little dance. She was very happy. “It’s about to end perfectly.”

  “We can’t be careless. Tomorrow is the question and answer segment. If someone wants to stir up trouble, they will surely gather and appear tomorrow!”

  Mei Ziyu reminded them.

  “Relax, no matter what difficult questions they come up with, Sun Mo will crush all of them.”

  Gu Xiuxun was very at ease with regard to this. “If you become a secondary saint tomorrow, your fame would truly erupt.” “I don’t even dare to dream of this in my dreams!”

  Sun Mo chortled.

  If one wanted to become a secondary saint, their thinking had to reach a certain height and they also needed a bit of luck. At the very least, Sun Mo still couldn’t grasp the threshold of becoming a secondary saint.

  After a good sleep and recovering from his mental fatigue, he headed to the central public square the next morning, which was a windy one.

  This was the last step required to become an 8-stars great teacher. He was going to take it now!
