Chapter 1008: Mama, the Nine Provinces Are So Dangerous. I Really Want To Return Ho!
Unsculptable Rotten Wood was a relatively rare great teacher halo.
Its main effect was to temporarily seal a student’s intellect and talent. If this halo was enhanced to the peak, once cast, it would be able to cripple a student and make him fall from a genius and beco trash.
Using Li Ziqi as an example, if Sun Mo cast Unsculptable Rotten Wood on her, her photographic mory ability would be instantly lost and her thinking would beco sluggish…
Naturally, although the effect of this great teacher halo was tyrannical, it was extrely difficult to comprehend it. This required one to be a person of virtue and prestige who was also extrely learned, and these people would usually be high star-ranking great teachers who had taught many students and seen the growth of many students before. These students were not only geniuses; there were weak students included as well…
Only then would the great teacher truly understand a certain heart state.
One must know the true emotions a great teacher underwent when they said sothing like you were a piece of rotten wood that was unsculptable. It wasn’t because they wanted to cripple a student. Rather, they hated iron for not becoming steel.
It was like the will of heavens existed naturally. If there was a great teacher whose intention was not pure and wasn’t doing this for the sake of the students and purely wanted to punish people for the sake of punishing them, even if they comprehended this halo, they wouldn’t be able to cast it.
All in all, the prerequisite was that great teachers had to be thinking on behalf of the students and have a clear conscience before they could cast Unsculptable Rotten Wood. If not, they would be hit by a backlash.
But in the great teacher world, even if there was no backlash, the great teachers would all agree despite not having any prior consultation with each other that they wouldn’t use such a halo frequently. Because the purpose of the existence of great teachers was to educate people.
If they saw a student committing a mistake, they should help the student reflect, make them feel regret and help them get back onto the correct path. They shouldn’t reprimand or punish the students or even ‘negate’ their entire lives.
After seeing the introduction, Sun Mo was depressed. He felt that this thing was like a nuclear bomb. If he used it, it would be a godly nuke but usually, it wouldn’t be of use save for deterrence.
“I’ll ignore it. In any case, having it is better than not having it.”
Sun Mo touched the papaya girl’s head and continued to open the treasure chests.
There were still 3x seven-colored diamond treasure chests.
Ding!
“Congratulations on obtaining 100 types of superior-grade heaven-tier cultivation arts. Proficiency level: expert.”
This reward was still passable. Although Sun Mo basically wouldn’t use cultivation arts of this level, he could widen his knowledge base after learning them. Also, he could use so of them as gifts as well.
“Ai, sadly I’m a man that prefers spiritual pursuit. If not, I would simply sell a top-level cultivation art every year to gain a high inco so I can live the life of a wealthy man and indulge myself in debauchery.”
Sun Mo sighed and felt that his life was a life of toil.
Ding!
“Congratulations on obtaining the Record of Darkness Continent’s Phenona!”
“Note: This book records so magical and bizarre incidents that happen in the Darkness Continent. The incidents are those rare types where tales of them were passed down after a rare few had witnessed the phenonon.”
After Sun Mo learned it, he hurriedly scanned through a few tales and discovered that it was sothing similar to the Classic of Mountain and Sea. However, its introduction of each story was more detailed.
“I heard that there was a goddess in the Chu River nad ‘spirit girl’. I felt yearning in my heart and decided to build a house at the riverside, staying there for a hundred years, farming fragrant fruits and vegetables daily.”
“One day, the spirit girl fell in love whole-heartedly with .”
“I assud that my sincerity had moved her but who knew that seven days after our union, she gave birth to a kid and returned to the river, disappearing tracelessly!”
“Alas. I can only et her 100 years from now!”
Sun Mo had a dumbfounded look on his face as he read the short text.
This story was about a scholar who heard of a goddess nad spirit girl living in the Chu River. He was fascinated with her and tossed food into the river every day after lodging there. In the end, his persistence moved her.
The two of them stayed together for seven days, and the spirit girl gave birth to a kid. After that, she returned to the river and disappeared tracelessly.
Wasn’t this a case of the scholar being dumped?
In any case, the scholar didn’t care. He waited for another hundred years and was actually lucky enough to et her again. Their previous interlinked karma then continued.
This was a love story that praised the scholar’s love for being more solid than gold.
Truthfully speaking, given Sun Mo’s understanding which had been trained by reading comprehension, which even the authors themselves couldn’t get full marks, he understood that this was a story about natural science.
That spirit girl wasn’t emotionally moved by that scholar. It was just that her mating season arrived, which was once every a hundred years. After she went to shore, she would mate, get pregnant, and give birth.
After it was completed, the girl would return to the river.
Even if the person who waited for a hundred years wasn’t the scholar but was a woodman that coincidentally passed by, he would be able to ‘obtain’ the girl and enjoy ti with her for seven days.
To say it simply, the spirit girl was an amphibious creature that was oviparous. Sun Mo felt a little agitated when he thought about it.
Stories like this could be treated as leisure reading material. You could read a few pages every night before sleep. There was no way one would really go and ‘coincidentally’ et a spirit girl to have fun with her.
Ding!
“Congratulations on obtaining a portion of the Hundred Poisons Heart Sutra!”
“Note: This heart sutra records the concoction thods and solutions to a hundred types of poison that act on the central nervous system. Please use it cautiously.”
Sun Mo’s spirits stirred. The most valuable thing had arrived.
He hurriedly read through it.
There was a myriad of poisons. When they ca in contact with the human body, the effects generated would be different from each other. So would cause huge blood loss, so would cause damage to organs…
And as for this heart sutra before his eyes, it was mainly teaching the user about so poison that affected the nerves.
For example, let’s talk about the Soul Devouring Powder. It was a type of poison smoke hidden in incense. The victim wouldn’t easily discover it, and if they breathed in a large amount of it, they would suffer insomnia and they would also suffer heart palpitations frequently.
Finally, the poison would make the victim turn crazy.
Sun Mo felt his scalp turning numb as he read.
(Mama, the Nine Provinces are so dangerous. I want to return ho!)
If one wanted to destroy an enemy, there was no need to kill the other party. Making them beco soone crazy might be a fate worse than death.
Even if the authorities would impose control over poisonous herbs, they would only do so for the common kinds.
Leaving aside these types of magical poison ntioned in the heart sutra, the doctors and herbalists from the authorities wouldn’t even know the effects of those uncommon poisons in the market. So, how could they administer control?
Bluntly speaking, knowledge was power!
Why couldn’t pharmacies sell dicine to patients if the patients didn’t have a dical prescription from a doctor? Why would so fertilizer be banned…
Because in the eyes of those who knew chemistry, these things could be manufactured into so dangerous raw materials through a series of chemical experints.
By grasping this heart sutra, it was equivalent to him grasping 100 types of mysterious thods to kill people.
One must know that power was akin to a ferocious beast. Once used, the user would taste a sense of sweetness and might even lose control.
For example, if soone offended Sun Mo and he poisoned the other party to death, but because of the rarity of poison and his brilliant thods, no one discovered it.
Hence, Sun Mo would beco soone unfettered and beyond the law.
What would he do if he encountered a conflict in the future?
He would definitely use poison again.
(In any case, no one would know who the culprit is, right?)
“Seeing my enemies being tornted by poison and living in agony should be a very satisfying thing. However, I cannot do this!”
After all, Sun Mo was soone who had received modern education. He was a kind man with a bottomline. Even if he wanted to ‘take care’ of the other party, he would settle things through a fair fight instead of using underhanded thods like these.
No wonder the reputation of poison masters was bad!
Sun Mo could be considered to finally understand the reason.
This was the fear of humans toward the unknown and death.
On the other side, doctors who saved lives received the respect of everyone in the world.
“However, learning this won’t have any disadvantages. At the very least, I don’t have to worry about people using poison on .”
Sun Mo heaved a long sigh.
Truthfully speaking, Sun Mo was thinking too much.
It was truly too difficult for a powerful poison master to grow and mature.
Sun Mo could beco a grandmaster-level poison master after receiving the skill books from the system. But if one wanted to depend on their talent and hardwork, not even one in a hundred could grow and beco an expert.
Why?
If one walked frequently at the side of a river, how could their shoes not be wet?
In the modern era, pneumoconiosis and breathing in carcinogens from spraying paint all ca from dangerous jobs. In that case, if you handled terrifying poisons every day, leaving aside the fact that you might die from a mistake, just by concocting poison and breathing in on its mist for a long period could kill you!
Therefore, not a lot of people would learn about it, and the people who could achieve sothing and beco experts in it were even fewer.
But once one succeeded in mastering this subject, they would beco a hegemon that was feared by everyone.
“Wait a minute, I can use dical studies to hide my identity as a poison master, right?”
Sun Mo suddenly thought of a solution.
For doctors to save lives, it was very logical for them to know so poison theory!
Sun Mo beca distracted during the ceremony.
So great teachers beside him wanted to chat with Sun Mo, but they didn’t dare to disturb him for fear of offending him.
The current Sun Mo already had the qualifications to make everyone care about his mood.
Wang Song who was on the right of Sun Mo saw Sun Mo keep stroking the hair of the papaya girl and couldn’t help but be astonished.
What habit was this?
Stroking a cat?
(Are you not afraid of making her bald? Or maybe this is so sort of taphysics? Sun Mo’s secret way to beco strong? Should I give it a try after I return?)
But after thinking of his disciples who were all burly and had looks resembling gorillas…
(Sigh, I really can’t do it.)
…
The family and friends of these 1-star great teachers had the qualifications to co for the ceremony.
After all, this was a very glorious mont for these examinees. They naturally wanted to be in the lilight and share this happiness with their close ones.
The Saint Gate still had this bit of warmth. Hence, they specially reserved seats for the families and friends of the examinees.
Now, everyone was satisfied.
“This girl is so young, yet she actually beca the champion?”
“She is Sun Mo’s student!”
“That three-ti champion Sun? Indeed, a good teacher would produce a brilliant disciple!”
Everyone whispered to each other.
So aunties even planned to look for matchmakers to speak with Sun Mo, wanting their sons to marry Li Ziqi.
(Why? Is my son unworthy? Impossible!)
In the eyes of all mothers in the world, their own children would surely be dragons and phoenixes among humans. Their children were the best.
“Sun Mo himself is very young!”
“I wonder if he is already engaged?”
Naturally, so aunties and uncles also looked up to Sun Mo and wanted to have deep interactions with him.
“Don’t think about it, his fiance is An Xinhui. Speaking of appearances, she ranks #5 on the Devastating Beauty Rankings. Speaking of talent, she is the top student that graduated from the Heavenly Mystery Academy. Speaking of status, she is the headmaster of the Central Province Academy, the granddaughter of Secondary Saint An!”
But even such an illustrious background wouldn’t scare off those aunties.
“If a man doesn’t have three wives and four concubines, how can they be considered successful? My daughter can be a concubine. In any case, n would always favor the younger ones!”
After an aunty finished speaking, everyone’s gaze imdiately turned over.
(Do you even have moral integrity?)
“What are you guys looking at? Do you know how hard it is to encounter a golden turtle (rich son-in-law)? I really have no choice!”
The aunty explained.
“If you don’t want five large mansions with servants filling them up, impressive horse carriages for transportations…it’s actually very easy to find a son-in-law.”
Soone persuaded her.
“Don’t be stupid, why would I let my daughter be married off if that’s the case? To suffer?”
This sentence from the aunty caused that person to be speechless. He really wanted to ask if her daughter was made of gold!
“Alright, alright, let’s not talk about this. Speaking of which, where’s Zhou Wenbin? Why don’t I see him?”
Wang Song diated between the two quarreling people.
“Sothing bad has happened!”
Qian Hao knew sothing. “I heard that he was ambushed by a dark great teacher and is now unconscious. The Zhou Clan has invited many doctors to take a look but it is useless.”
“Why don’t they look for Sun Mo? He has God Hands!”
Wang Song was puzzled.
