Chapter 1066: Rewards
Ding!
“Congratulations on becoming one of the strongest ancestor-level spirit runists in the Nine Provinces. Reward: 3x seven-colored diamond treasure chests.”
Ding!
“Congratulations on convincing Bai Wenzhang, winning his admiration. Reward: 1x seven-colored diamond treasure chest.”
The system notifications rang out twice.
“Just like that?”
Sun Mo’s lips twitched as he felt a little unhappy. “I’m standing at the very peak in the field of spirit runes, but you want to send me off with just so few rewards?”
“I can take them back if you don’t want them.”
The words of the system were concise and comprehensive. It naturally wouldn’t be threatened by Sun Mo.
“I was wrong.”
Sun Mo chortled. No matter how small mosquitoes were, they were still meat.
“Zhiruo, come over!”
Although Sun Mo wasn’t an excitable person, now that he had so many top-quality treasure chests, he couldn’t control himself anymore. Hence, he hurriedly touched the head of his lucky mascot.
The four treasure chests clicked open at the same time.
Three skill books in addition to two 100-year time emblems appeared.
The skill books were respectively the grandmaster-level planting techniques, a Darkness Species Encyclopedia: Beast Edition, 100 types.
And lastly, an elementary-level [Beginner’s insight to Weaponsmithing]
“Still passable!”
Sun Mo instantly learned them.
The planting techniques were very useful because he now owned an ecology garden and needed to nurture a bunch of gardeners who would stay long term in the Greenhaze Forest.
As for the Darkness Species Encyclopedia, it would enhance his knowledge. However, it would be useless if he didn’t adventure in the Darkness Continent or head to dangerous places to find treasure.
And lastly, the [Beginner’s insight to Weaponsmithing] was something very good. It could establish a solid foundation for Sun Mo in this subject.
This was the only subject that was comparable to alchemy in the eyes of this world.
There was this saying, ‘If you want to do something well, you have to first sharpen your tools. When heading out, every cultivator will have a weapon no matter how poor they are!’
Sun Mo immediately spammed a 100-year time emblem and directly improved his proficiency in it to the grandmaster level. He wanted a sturdy foundation first.
This was still insufficient for him to teach students, but when he ventured out and went shopping at weapon shops or whatnot, he didn’t need to worry about being swindled.
Sun Mo lay down and took the chance to revise the knowledge twice since his memory of it was still fresh. After that, he started to ponder over his harvest from this trip to the Dragonspirit Manor.
Lu Zhiruo had deciphered a world-class difficulty question and obtained the Myriad Beasts Cube. This was hugely beneficial to her future growth.
One could say that as long as she didn’t court disaster, this saint weapon should be able to protect her life.
Li Ziqi was now a near-grandmaster spirit runist. Her theoretical knowledge was very abundant, and she also had plenty of high-end experience. The only thing she lacked was the ability to act personally.
It was simple to read, but when it came to drawing spirit runes of great difficulty, experience was needed.
It was like learning a dance. No matter how high your talent was, you would never be able to learn it completely unless you did the routine a few times personally.
After the little sunny egg drew more spirit runes, success would follow naturally when the conditions were right. But given her current knowledge, she was more than sufficient to give lectures in the Central Province Academy.
Sun Mo had invented the Skyward Spirit Rune and after a few months’ worth of improvements, it had reached a stage where it could be used in actual combat. After returning to the Central Province Academy, Sun Mo was preparing to tattoo each of his personal students with it.
In any case, he had the ancient massaging technique and when he invented another improved version, he could remove the previously tattooed spirit rune and do a new one.
He also had the Spiritwave Cannon.
This item was somewhat troublesome. If he wanted to create this, he needed to cooperate with a grandmaster-level weaponsmith. Luckily, Sun Mo wasn’t in a rush.
This was the capital of being young. Sun Mo was just 22 years old and even after ten years, he would still be in his early thirties. He still had a very long life ahead.
Tantai Yutang had obtained the entirety of the Undying Old Man’s medical research. Whether he could master it or not would depend on his own fate.
Sun Mo didn’t know the medical arts and couldn’t teach him. Hence, he was preparing to get Tantai Yutang to follow Ma Zhang for learning.
However, Sun Mo did think of some ideas with regard to the sickly invalid’s sickness.
After Sun Mo had devoured that ‘god skeleton’, Bai Wenzhang did some experiments and discovered that his blood now contained an extremely strong recovery effect.
Although he had no idea if his blood could dispel the poison in Tantai Yutang, there shouldn’t be a problem to allow Tantai Yutang to live a few more years.
As for his other students, they didn’t have any harvests.
But for Sun Mo himself, leaving aside whether the god skeleton was good or bad, his knowledge in the study of spirit runes had improved greatly. Moreover, he was already clear about what path he wanted to take in the future.
Bai Wenzhang’s pursuit was to create a ‘living’ spirit rune. Sun Mo suggested a new concept based on this.
Since spirit runes could be ‘alive’ and auto-repair themselves, why couldn’t they ‘birth’ sentience?
From theory, this should be possible.
Because the spirit rune diagrams themselves were a type of language expression. Since they could engage in auto-repair, it meant that they could ‘extend’ themselves. In this case, didn’t that mean that they would be able to express more things?
Also, Lu Zhiruo had accidentally opened the metal box and unleashed the flying metallic puppet. Although Sun Mo had no idea what use that puppet had, he could feel that it represented a new direction of research.
He would make the subject ‘the study of spirit runes’ shine throughout the Nine Provinces.
Leveling up in terms of cultivation base wasn’t considered a harvest by Sun Mo. He was so young but was already at the peak of the second level of the Longevity Realm. Even if he didn’t achieve a breakthrough in the next decade, he would still be a genius in the eyes of others.
Pui! Pui! Pui!
(Why must I speak of unlucky things?)
No one would find it bothersome to have a longer life. An additional level in the Longevity Realm equated to a century worth of life. Moreover, wasn’t it good to step into the Legendary Realm earlier?
Once he became an expert in the Legendary Realm, Sun Mo would be worthy of the beautiful title ‘hegemon’ in the Nine Provinces.
“We are still lacking high-level combat strength. I have to recruit more people!”
Sun Mo sighed. If the school only depended on him to nurture talents, how long would they have to wait before they could have ten experts at the Longevity Realm?
“Teacher!”
Lu Zhiruo finally came over after hesitating for some time.
“What’s the matter?’
Sun Mo rubbed his lucky mascot’s head.
“I…I wish to participate in the personal student battle!”
After Lu Zhiruo finished speaking, she was worried Sun Mo might not agree. Hence, she hurriedly guaranteed. “I will definitely be able to get a good ranking. If I cannot do it, y…you can punish me!”
“Teacher, count me in too?”
When Xuanyuan Po heard this, he was also keen.
“This…”
Sun Mo fell silent. He was still hesitating whether he should participate in the 4-star exam or not.
After all, the difficulty of this 4-star exam depended on one’s personal students, and Sun Mo didn’t want his students to face this kind of danger so early. One must know that the weakest among the personal students would be in the Blood Ignition Realm.
“Teacher, I can do it!”
Li Ziqi spoke. She understood Sun Mo’s worry. “With the Skyward Spirit Rune, I’m invincible!”
“What if your opponent is a long-range archer?”
Ying Baiwu interrupted. “So I feel that I should participate instead. My range will naturally have an advantage!”
“Nonsense, the stage is only so big. Where can you hide?”
Tantai Yutang rolled his eyes. Kiting techniques were useless.
“Teacher, if you become a 4-star great teacher and a 4-time champion, no one will be able to break this record for thousands and thousands of years. We have to do our utmost!”
Lu Zhiruo went all out.
(Even if I die, I will help Teacher get the glory of the 4-star title.)
“Let me consider it more.” Sun Mo was conflicted. “But other than Ziqi, you guys don’t have to think about competing.”
Who would have thought that Li Ziqi, whom everyone didn’t have high hopes for, would become Sun Mo’s trump card?
This was fate playing tricks!
