Chapter 1031: Does Your Mom Know That You Are So Outstanding?
Translator: Lordbluefire
Xianyu Wei looked at Qin Yaoguang and Lu Zhiruo. Both her eyes were filled with envy and worship.
These two senior martial sisters of hers were super impressive!
Although everyone felt that Lu Zhiruo was stupid, Xianyu Wei felt that it was because Lu Zhiruo was too pure and kind. She had seen her second senior sister bitterly cultivating until very late at night.
Honestly speaking, the effort Lu Zhiruo put in her training made Xianyu Wei unable to look Lu Zhiruo in the eye directly. In the past, Xianyu Wei felt that she herself was trash, but under the guidance of their teacher, she now had vastly improved from before.
In the practical combat test among those in her same year, she had managed to get into the top 20, flaunting her prowess.
This meant that her teacher’s teaching capabilities were truly exceptional.
But her second senior sister didn’t seem capable of living up to their teacher’s guidance.
Lu Zhiruo felt remorse and also disappointment. In fact, Xianyu Wei had even seen Lu Zhiruo crying in secret many times. But after wiping her tears away, she would continue to cultivate.
“Yeah, I’ve been too proud. Ever since I became the champion of the autumn hunt festival, my ego surged and I started looking down on others. I should start learning more from Second Martial Sister, her spirit of keeping on fighting despite continual setbacks.”
Xianyu Wei reflected on herself.
“Xianyu, Tantai. Things like this can’t be rushed. You all have to relax your mentality. Your lives are still long, so there’s no need to be hasty about temporary gains and losses.”
Sun Mo encouraged.
He could see that these two also wished to become great teachers. But for something like the Self-Taught Halo, no one knew what was necessary to be done to comprehend it.
“Alright, you guys can just be busy with your own stuff. I’m heading out.”
Breaking through to the Longevity Realm could be considered a major incident. However, Sun Mo was very calm.
Li Ziqi took out her pocket watch and glanced at it. She then suggested. “The time isn’t early anymore, why don’t we go and eat a meal together to celebrate?”
“I want to treat you all!” Lu Zhiruo raised her hand. “Don’t snatch the bills from me!”
Sun Mo smiled and didn’t reject. Sharing meals with his disciples was a good method to improve their relationship.
The group of them walked out of the teleportation gate and headed down. After that, they saw An Xinhui, Mei Ziyu, Gu Xiuxun, and Jin Mujie waiting for them here.
Actually, An Xinhui also wanted to go to the Wind King Divine Hall, but she had to remain here to act as the host to these guests. Hence, she could only forget about it.
“Congratulations, Teacher Sun!”
Jin Mujie stood up, feeling so envious that she wanted to drool.
Having reached the Longevity Realm at 22 years old, Sun Mo would possess at least 300 years of youth.
“Congratulations!”
Mei Ziyu and Gu Xiuxun both sent their congratulations. The moment they saw the expressions of the students, they knew that Sun Mo had succeeded.
(My childhood sweetheart is really so impressive!)
An Xinhui surveyed Sun Mo. Her eyes were glowing brightly.
“The one you guys ought to congratulate isn’t merely Teacher. You all should congratulate Zhiruo and Yaoguang too!”
Li Ziqi took the chance to help Sun Mo gain some favorable impression points.
Speaking of which, Mei Ziyu used the excuse of needing God Hands for her sickness to stay in the Central Province Academy. However, everyone wasn’t blind. They could tell she was fond of Sun Mo.
As for Gu Xiuxun, she was a close female confidante, but their teacher probably treated her like a good brother?
The hope wasn’t great!
Besides, the most important thing was…she was too flat!
(Pui! Pui! Pui! What nonsense am I thinking about? So what even if she’s flat? Flat people could bring world peace!*)
Li Ziqi absolutely wouldn’t admit that she was Princess Taiping*. This was why she said this.
There was also Jin Mujie.
In the past, Jin Mujie was like a veteran teacher looking after a talented junior. However, because Sun Mo was so outstanding, how could Jin Mujie ever look up to another guy now?
After all, in this world, her teacher was the best husband.
Once Jin Mujie acted, her teacher would ‘lose’ for sure.
There was no solution, Jin Mujie was truly too huge and too white!
That peach…even eunuchs would wish to have a bite!
Li Ziqi’s original intention was to establish prestige for Sun Mo. But after she finished speaking, she regretted it.
(No, it’s enough for Teacher to have Mistress An. Since there are me, Zhiruo, Baiwu, and the rest, there’s no need for him to have too many women. Why? Warming your bed in winter? I can do so too!)
(Also, [The Analects of Confucius] said that it’s a disciple’s responsibility to do things for their master. So, there’s no problem for me to make Teacher’s bed.)
“What’s the good news?”
Jin Mujie asked, “Also, there’s no need for you to use terms of respect when speaking with us in the future. You are now also a great teacher and have the same identity as us.”
After saying this, Jin Mujie felt incomparably envious.
This student of Sun Mo was truly too outstanding.
“Zhiruo and Yaoguang have just comprehended the Self-Taught Halo.”
Li Ziqi smiled and replied. After that, the atmosphere turned cold.
Mainly, it was because this matter was too shocking.
“…”
If it wasn’t for Jin Mujie’s self-control, she would have spewed some vulgarities.
(Does your mother know you are so outstanding? My heavens, you have more disciples who have the qualifications to become great teachers? And this time around, it’s two at once? Why don’t you rise to the heavens? Could it be that you are the reincarnation of a saint?)
Jin Mujie’s gaze was like looking at a freak when she looked at Sun Mo.
“This…”
For a time, Gu Xiuxun didn’t know what to say.
(You are really constantly refreshing my understanding of you. When I felt that you were already sufficiently outstanding, you will use facts to tell me that this isn’t your final form yet!)
“Congratulations!”
Mei Ziyu didn’t think too much and was purely happy for the two students.
There was no solution to this. After all, she was from the Jixia Academy and the number of geniuses Mei Ziyu had seen before was simply too many. It wasn’t rare for students to comprehend the Self-Taught Halo at this age.
What’s rare was Sun Mo.
(How did you teach them?)
An Xinhui didn’t say anything and directly contributed over 10,000 favorable impression points. Naturally, the favorable impression points contributed by the others weren’t small either.
Ding!
“Congratulations. Under your influence, two more of your personal students have entered the ranks of great teachers. Reward: 3x diamond treasure chests. Please continue to work hard.”
Ding!
“Congratulations on obtaining the achievement: Double Egg Yolk. Allowing two students to comprehend the Self-Taught Halo in one go. Your talent even causes me to feel glorious. Reward: 2x diamond treasure chests. Please continue to work hard.”
Ding!
“Congratulations on obtaining 100,000 favorable impression points in one go. Reward: 1x diamond treasure chest.”
The system notification rang out thrice, giving him generous rewards.
Sun Mo frowned slightly. “Why are there so many favorable impression points?”
“Because your lesson this time around caused an enhancement to the mental states of your students. It is like opening a door for them, allowing them to view a vaster world.”
The system explained.
When great teachers gave a lecture, their level would depend on the content and effect.
“Understood, you can rest now!”
With so many people present, Sun Mo also had no way to open the treasure chests. He could only bear it and go for a meal first.
The dinner ended at 9 p.m. Everyone finally left after another hour.
After returning to the villa, Sun Mo called Lu Zhiruo into the bedroom after he was done showering.
Luckily, Sun Mo’s personality was good enough or others might misunderstand that he wanted to do something unspeakable to the papaya girl.
“Sit down!”
Sun Mo poured a cup of tea for her.
“Oh!”
Lu Zhiruo sat in a kneeling posture before Sun Mo. She placed her hands on her thighs and had an obedient look on her face as she waited for her teacher to speak.
“There’s no need to feel restrained!”
Sun Mo patted the papaya girl’s head and indicated for the system to start opening treasure chests.
(This time around, let’s go big! Opening six in one go!)
He wanted to take the chance to catch the treasure chests off guard and who knew, this might lead to him opening a top-tier item.
As a series of ‘dings’ rang out, a bright light faded as the rewards appeared, floating before his eyes.
[100 types of high-tier puppet manufacturing techniques!]
This was good, extremely practical.
If Sun Mo learned it, he would be able to construct realistic action figures that could be put to good use.
(Speaking of which, among my disciples, other than Ziqi who can learn everything, the others have completely no interest in puppetry. Even if I became a grandmaster, it would be useless! Ai! Should I go and recruit a personal student who likes this subject?)

Sun Mo then glanced at the second skill book. After that, he felt his scalp turning numb.
[Human Body Modification Techniques]!
Even without the note from the system, Sun Mo also knew that this was definitely a forbidden technique.
Its content was to change and replace organs to increase the survival rate, or how to embed spirit runes into one’s body to allow the spirit qi reserves to remain full, not drying up…
There were also grotesque pictures as examples…
Sun Mo wanted to puke. It was truly too disgusting.
This was simply mind-pollution.
Naturally, to cripples or people who were going to die, these modifications might save their lives.
(I’ll temporarily keep it with me first!)
Sun Mo didn’t intend to learn it as he was afraid of having nightmares.
As for the third reward, it was 10x peerless-grade heaven-tier cultivation arts.
Extremely excellent!
Sun Mo involuntarily whistled.
No matter if he sold these cultivation arts or used them himself, they were all considered battle resources. After all, a single peerless heaven-tier cultivation art was already sufficient to cause a bloody storm in the world.
The fourth, a Longevity Fruit!
This was a nature fruit. After eating it, one’s lifespan would be extended and their body’s potential would be stimulated. If one ate this during the early phase of the Longevity Realm, it would be able to make the consumer level up.
Sun Mo revealed a smile.
Very good, he would be able to level up easily.
After that, it was [100 types of high-tier alchemy pill concoction techniques] and [100 types of exotic planting techniques]!
The former one was as its name implied. As for the latter one, it was planting techniques targeted for special plants.
For example, if one wanted to nurture a mermaid lotus. This plant didn’t grow in soil and only grew on fresh corpses. After the corpse rotted completely, the plant had to find a new corpse to continue growing.
Sun Mo’s repertoire of strange knowledge had increased again, and then he had a good rest.
On the second morning, he met up with An Xinhui before they headed to the Greenhaze Forest.
If those aboriginals refused to compromise, Sun Mo was prepared to use tough measures.
“If we depend solely on ourselves, we won’t be able to kill all the aboriginals. But if we find helpers, the teleportation gate will be exposed.”
An Xinhui felt a headache.
It was so difficult to want to monopolize it.
“It will be exposed sooner or later.”
Sun Mo sighed.
When the plantation developed, he and his students couldn’t possibly be working here all day, right?
Wouldn’t they die from fatigue?
“We can find a bunch of trustworthy students to work the land and set three years as the maximum period. After they finish the duration, there will be a huge reward for them.”
Honestly speaking, Sun Mo was thinking too much.
After the Chieftain and Elder passed away, the aboriginal tribe needed to appoint new leaders. As a result, Lian Fangcao became the new chieftain.
One couldn’t help but say that this green-skinned female did have some capabilities.
Since the new leader was someone from the peace faction, things could be negotiated then.
The conditions Sun Mo gave were very generous.
In fact, they even encouraged the aboriginals to build a city and develop from a tribal civilization toward an agricultural civilization. As long as the aboriginals settled in the city, everything else would belong to Sun Mo in the end.
Because this was unilateral trade!
Other than Sun Mo, who else could ‘digest’ the produce of an entire race cleanly?
Since Lian Fangcao was the leader now, he naturally had to do his utmost to support her, increasing her prestige and letting the aboriginals see the benefits their new leader would bring them.
“I want you to make a vow before the totem of my ancestors, stating that you will never betray my Greenhaze Tribe forever!”
Lian Fangcao felt worried in her heart.
If it wasn’t for Sun Mo having saved her before, she definitely wouldn’t have agreed so easily. After all, this concerned the future of over thousands of people in her tribe.
“Sure!”
Sun Mo smiled. “However, I will also only give you guys three chances. If your people betray me beyond three times, don’t blame me for being ruthless!”
“Don’t worry, only others will betray us, we will never betray our allies!”
The green-skinned female felt proud because of her tribe’s loyalty and dedication to keeping promises.
An Xinhui silently sighed. She mentally mused that as long as they wanted to do something, they had over a hundred methods to make the Greenhaze Tribe choose ‘betrayal’ and make the humans seem like the victims. Hence, making such a vow would prove to be of no deterrence at all.
“Alright, the contract is already settled. Let me bring you guys to see something good!”
After finishing a simple meal, Lian Fangcao issued an invitation.
It was time to repay Sun Mo for saving her life.
