Simping Divine Book

To prevent himself from getting deceived, Sun Mo had an insight of not touching any free meals that came knocking on the door by themselves.

As an ordinary person, Sun Mo felt that his luck was just ordinary. Even if there was money on the ground, it wouldn’t be for him to pick up. Therefore, when he saw this book, his first reaction was to back off.

He sized it up with suspicious eyes.

Swoosh!

The Divine Book flew forward a little more, getting closer to Sun Mo.

“What the hell?”

Sun Mo frowned.

“Great Teacher Sun, is it trying to get you to flip it?”

‘The administrator guessed.

The Divine Book immediately bobbed up and down a few times.

“Look, it’s nodding!”

‘The administrator cried out. This was too amazing! “Great Teacher Sun, I’ve worked in the library for 20 years, but I’ve never seen it taking the initiative to approach someone to flip through it.”

The administrator’s tone was surprised and his face was filled with envy.

Sun Mo was indifferent.

The Divine Book couldn’t wait any longer and started to circle around Sun Mo, even rubbing against his arm.

Sun Mo was speechless. (Where’s your integrity? Why are you acting like a pug?)

(Previously, you were cold and aloof like a goddess, not giving a hoot about all the people currying up to you. But why have your attitude gone through a great change, looking like a pregnant b*tch who likes to act innocent, anxiously looking for a guy to take her in?)

The students were also dumbfounded.

It was said that no one could flip through this Divine Book. There was a rumor that this book felt disdain toward those people who were trying to flip through it, feeling that they weren’t qualified enough. But now, it was begging for Sun Mo to read it.

“How outstanding is Teacher Sun?”

Everyone was shocked beyond words.

“The Jixia Lectures have ended, but you guys are still puzzled over how amazing Teacher Sun is?”

The administrator was astonished. “Ever since the start of our civilization, this is the first time ever for there to be an 8-stars great teacher at the age of 30!”

“Tm sorry, I’m not in the mood to read right now!”

Sun Mo declined, then walked past the Divine Book, and headed upstairs.

(You looked down on me yesterday, but you can’t reach me today!)

It was mainly because Sun Mo was worried that he would fall into a trap.

Even though he had conquered the other Divine Book, he still felt lingering fear when he thought back on it now. If the wife in the illusion wasn’t Jin Mujie but An Xinhui instead, then Sun Mo definitely wouldn’t have discovered any issues.

“But how is it that even illusionary realms know that I like big ones?”

Sun Mo felt a little awkward. It was as if someone had seen a hole in his sock. However, on second thought, there shouldn’t be anyone who didn’t like big ones, right?

Pata!

The Divine Book was stunned for a moment before it fell to the ground with a thud. It then rubbed against the ground and moved upstairs inch by inch.

(If Sun Mo doesn’t read me, what’s the point of my life as a book? I might as well just die!)

Sun Mo stood in front of the bookshelf and picked up the first divine book again. It was probably because he had cleared the illusion that nothing happened this time.

Init, some strange images on the pages were drawn with some paint that contained a tremendous amount of spirit qi. Until now, the spirit qi fluctuations could still be felt.

“Interesting!”

Sun Mo’s curiosity was piqued. However, before he could delve deeper, a loud explosion rang out in the air above the Jixia Academy.

“What happened?”

Everyone rushed out of the library and looked in the direction of the explosion.

“It’s the alchemy area. Some alchemist must have accidentally caused the furnace to explode?”

“This explosion looks very destructive!”

“Let’s go and take a look, quickly!”

‘The students were rushing over as soon as possible, especially those who studied medicine. They wanted to help out if they could.

Sun Mo performed his movement technique and shot out like a bolt of lightning. A shadow somehow surfaced in his heart.

“It shouldn’t be Aunt Me’s alchemy room that exploded, right?”

‘The Jixia Academy’s alchemy area took up a large amount of space. In it, there were independent manors assigned to teachers as well as public alchemy rooms for students to use.

Right now, a large part of the roof of a manor on the west side was broken. Many bottles and cans were scattered all over the ground.

‘There were great risks of accidents taking place during alchemy. But over many years of experience, the Jixia Academy had prepared a complete set of countermeasures for such situations.

At the first instant the explosion was heard, the guards would act. They would seal up the scene first to prevent anyone from stealing their precious alchemy techniques.

‘There were professionals amongst the guards who would assess the scene. After ascertaining that there were no second-degree harms, they would let the medical team in.

By the time Sun Mo rushed over, this place had been sealed off.

“It’s Teacher Me’s alchemy room!”

Many students and teachers were worried and hoped that nothing would happen to her.

Mei Yazhi was near the ancestor level, and she was the disciple that Alchemy Sage Wei Ziyou was the proudest of. She was known as the pillar figure who would lead the alchemy domain in the next generation.

If Mei Yazhi were to die or become crippled, not only would it be a huge loss for Jixia Academy, but it would also be a regret that the alchemy world could not make up for.

“What I’m afraid of really came true!”

Sun Mo’s heart tightened and he went forward to negotiate with the guards.

“What are you doing? Hurry up and step back!”

‘One of the guards reproached.

“Tm Sun Mo. I want to go in and help!”

Sun Mo explained.

Hearing Sun Mo’s identity, the guard hesitated. There were rules that prohibited outsiders from entering the alchemy area when there was an accident. However, Sun Mo was very famous. He wouldn’t steal alchemy techniques, right?

Before the guard could make a decision, Wei Ziyou’s anxious voice rang out.

“Sun Mo, come in!”

Swoosh!

Sun Mo then darted into the alchemy room.

A strong medicinal smell gushed over.

‘The medicine shelves had collapsed, and many of the earthen jars had shattered. There was liquid flowing everywhere, and there were also alchemical pills rolling all over the ground.

“Aunt Mei!”

Sun Mo saw Mei Yazhi, who was sitting in front of the alchemy cauldron, trying hard to hold on and perform remedial actions.

More than half of her great teacher attire was charred from the explosion, and her body was covered in blood. Her skin and flesh had been lacerated, and one could even see the white bones from her left ribs.

“Can it be treated?”

Wei Ziyou asked Sun Mo with a mental voice transmission.

“It can be treated, but hurry up and make her stop!”

Sun Mo was anxious. Why was she still performing alchemy in this state?

Wei Ziyou smiled bitterly.

When he had noticed the explosion, he had teleported over with Shrinking Distance Halo.

It was common for alchemy to fail.

Moreover, it was a peerless-grade saint-tier alchemical pill like the Heaven and Earth Soul Returnal Pill. Its refinement difficulty was simply off the charts.

Deep down, Mei Yazhi was a confident and proud woman. If she hadn’t forcefully made up for her mistakes and had given up straight away when she saw the mistake, things wouldn’t have gone terribly wrong.

Even if she forcefully made up for things and something went wrong, Mei Yazhi would still be able to escape. At most, she would suffer minor injuries. However, in order to protect the personal disciples who served as her assistants, she had acted as a shield for them and thus suffered serious injuries.

After suffering from serious injuries, Mei Yazhi’s arrogance was triggered. She swallowed a peak-grade Dragon Meridian Pill to hang on to her life and then continued with the alchemy.

“Aunt Mei, when one dies, they’ll have no future.”

Sun Mo persuaded.

Mei Yazhi ignored Sun Mo and focused on the situation inside the alchemy cauldron.

“Don’t try to persuade her anymore, it’s useless!”

Wei Ziyou sighed. “For us alchemists, every time we perform alchemy, it’s a battle. Once we fail, it means that we’re defeated and we won’t have the chance to win back again.”

Sun Mo was stunned for a moment and understood the meaning behind Wei Ziyou’s words.

Just as it was impossible for there to be two identical leaves in the world, every single cauldron of alchemy pills was a completely new enemy. Even if the medicinal herbs were similar, the alchemy cauldron was the same, and the time taken and one’s mental state to refine the alchemical pills were

identical, the alchemical pills would be different.

“Mother!”

Mei Ziyu was in tears and rushed in from outside. When she saw Mei Yazhi’s terrible plight, her heart ached so much that she almost fainted.

“What are you crying for? I’m not dead yet!” Mei Yazhi spat out. “Get out!”

“Mother!”

Mei Ziyu’s body trembled and she could not stand steadily. It was Sun Mo who supported her.

“Aunt Mei, why do you have to do this for a cauldron of alchemical pills?”

Sun Mo persuaded.

Although the medicinal herbs were expensive, Mei Yazhi’s family was able to afford such a loss.

“Buddha fights for an incense stick, and people fight for pride. As alchemists, we should move forward bravely without fear of death!”

‘Mei Yazhi threw a cold glance at the alchemy cauldron, her gaze sharp as a knife. “The more you’re in this situation, the more you can’t back down. If the alchemical pill isn’t a success, people will die!”

‘When she said the last six words, Mei Yazhi’s disposition was like that of a general who was preparing to charge into the enemy’s million-strong army formation with their defeated troops.

She was unafraid of death and had a strong fighting spirit.

Boom!

Priceless Advice erupted. Amidst the light spots, there was Mei Ziyu’s teary face. It was because she knew that either the divine pill would form or her mother would die.

Wei Ziyou, who knew his disciple’s temperament well, sighed deeply and walked to the cauldron. “T’ll be your assistant!”

With his skills and experience, he could save Mei Yazhi a lot of energy.

“Sorry to trouble you, Teacher!”

Mei Yazhi nodded and looked at Sun Mo. “Sun Mo, bring Ziyu out. Also, I’ll be leaving her in your hands from now on.”

(Can you not leave behind your last words?)

Sun Mo did not leave. Instead, he got close to Mei Yazhi and treated her wounds. At the same time, he activated Divine Sight to observe her.

“You’re relying on the alchemical pill to extend your life now, but performing alchemy requires a large amount of spirit qi. You definitely won’t be able to hold on, so I suggest that you undergo spirit runes surgery immediately.”

Sun Mo explained quickly, “This spirit rune can not only activate your vital potential and automatically heal your injuries, but it can also allow you to absorb spirit qi from the world even if you’re just meditating.”

Wei Ziyou and Mei Yazhi were both high star-level great teachers and had seen a lot of things. However, after hearing Sun Mo’s introduction, their eyebrows twitched.

‘There was such an amazing spirit rune?

“This set of spirit runes is something I improved based on Dean Bai’s achievements. It has not been tested on the human body yet, so there might be flaws!”

‘When Sun Mo studied the spirit rune language, it also involved the topic of ‘self-repairing spirit runes’. Besides, Bai Wenzhang had passed onto him so many results of his hard work. Therefore, Sun Mo was actually very proficient in the forbidden art of human body spirit runes.

Out of morals and ethics, Sun Mo would not conduct such experiments.

However, there was no time to worry about that now. Because with Mei Yazhi’s situation, even if she could endure through this, her body would also suffer heavy damage and she would be unable to advance any further in her cultivation.

“It doesn’t matter if it’s a forbidden technique. It’s just that I can’t be distracted while performing alchemy!”

Mei Yazhi frowned worriedly. Alchemy was a meticulous job. One had to constantly control the temperature of the cauldron, add the herbs, and perform other actions.

‘As long as Sun Mo interfered with her alchemy in the slightest bit, things might be over badly.

“Don’t worry, you’ll definitely not notice my actions!”

Sun Mo broke into a confident smile.

(Idon’t dare to say anything about other subjects, but I’m the father in the spirit runes domain!)
