Chapter 947: Receiving Rewards, Increase in Knowledge!
Lu Zhiruo was taking care of the immortal crane so meticulously because she loved small animals and the immortal crane was Sun Mo’s spirit beast.
Otherwise, the immortal crane definitely wouldn’t receive such a good treatment.
Bathing in wine? Doesn’t that need money?!
Although the money Lu Zhiruo spent belonged to her, it was from Sun Mo’s monthly allowance for her.
After resting for a bit, as a botanist, Mei Ziyu took the Life-Death Flower and went to research it. Meanwhile, Sun Mo lay in his tent to rest. Li Ziqi and Lu Zhiruo were beside him to knead and massage his shoulders.
Ding!
“Congratulations on successfully leaving the sea of flowers and handling the pursuit of your enemies. You completed the mission and the reward is a diamond treasure chest!”
Ding!
“Congratulations on killing Lu Cangqiong. Your rewards will be tripled.”
Ding!
“Congratulations on obtaining the Life-Death Flower and completing the mission with such a rare item. Reward: 1x diamond treasure chest!”
The system congratulated and rewarded him.
A total of four diamond treasure chests appeared before Sun Mo.
Sun Mo took the chance and patted Lu Zhiruo’s head.
“Open them. Just one first to test my luck!”
Sun Mo rubbed his hands in anticipation.
An instant later, one of the treasure chests clicked open. A green light shot out and almost blinded Sun Mo, causing his entire body to be cloaked in a green glow.
A thick skill book then floated before his eyes.
“Perfect!”
Sun Mo saw the title of the book and couldn’t control his emotions. He directly slapped his thigh in excitement.
It was an illustrated handbook about the rare species on Darkness Continent: Plant edition. It had the rarity index of SS and contained 50 types of plants.
Although there were only 50 types, one must know that plants of the ‘SS rarity’ were super rare and valuable.
“I’ll learn it first!”
Sun Mo couldn’t wait anymore.
The skill book shattered into motes of light that entered his glabella. After that, plenty of knowledge appeared in his mind.
Just when Sun Mo wanted to use this chance to deepen his understanding and memory about it, his body suddenly trembled as he grew agitated. He saw a section where there was detailed information about the Life-Death Flower.
“Good stuff!”
Sun Mo sighed ruefully.
This flower was really a life-extension flower. After consuming it, when one was heavily injured, one would be able to recover fully within a few hours and their lifespan would be increased.
As for how many additional years of life they would gain, it would depend on the consumer’s constitution.
For people like Sun Mo, they would at least gain 300 years. But for old people on the verge of death, they would at most gain a few more decades.
“Mn?”
Li Ziqi discovered her teacher glancing over, but she didn’t understand why.
“Work hard properly!”
Sun Mo encouraged.
If Li Ziqi’s performance was outstanding, this flower could be given to her to consume. She would then have several decades more to live. Otherwise, if she wanted to depend solely on cultivation to enter the Longevity Realm, she might not make it.
As for using this flower to cure the old headmaster…Sun Mo did some research and realized that the effect wouldn’t be too great.
“Continue, open three at one go!”
Sun Mo instructed.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Three clicks rang out. After that, three skill books floated in the air.
[High-tier Plant Studies]. Proficiency level: elementary.
[Darkness Species Encyclopedia: Bugs edition]. Knowledge on 100 types of mysterious bugs, ‘S Rarity’. Proficiency level: expert.
[Study of Mysteries on Darkness Continent]
…
Sun Mo instantly learned them.
Firstly, Plant Studies.
The vast majority of people felt that it was very simple. Growing plants was simply a case of using fertilizer and water. After that, one should just wait for the germination and growth of the plant. It was not difficult at all.
However, working the land was another branch of knowledge.
For example, strawberries and apples that were specially produced by fruit farmers looked big and juicy. They would then be boxed up in gift boxes and used as gifts.
A single box could cost up to a few hundred bucks.
But for some other fruits, even if they were sold for a few cents, no one would want them. The fruits would simply rot in the field.
And if one were to plant medical herbs, the level of techniques required would be even higher.
Luckily, the current Sun Mo was already completely qualified.
“I can start a class about agriculture science.”
Sun Mo pondered.
This lesson would be geared toward the farmers living in the surrounding counties of Jinling. He could teach them how to work the land and grow some cash crops. By doing so, the impression of the Central Province Academy in the hearts of the common people would grow even deeper.
(Food is the God of people!)
Only when one’s hunger was satisfied would people pursue their dreams. Only then would they have surplus money for cultivation.
To say it honestly, why did the kids of many poor people choose to enter the Central Province Academy? Wasn’t it simply because they wanted to learn some capabilities so they could feed themselves and live a better life in the future?
Becoming a sword hero or a saber saint? This ambition was good. But ultimately, many students would see reality clearly. Only one or two students in the entire generation would become such experts.
After becoming adults, as long as they could feed their wives and kids, it was good enough.
A great teacher must not only teach good students. They also had the responsibility to enlighten the commoners.
The second book was the Bugs Encyclopedia.
This was good stuff. In the world of nature, bugs had more variations compared to ferocious beasts.
Sun Mo grew even more joyful after he learned it.
There was an explanation about Crown Bees here.
“This insect has a special characteristic. Because they harvest honey their entire lives for generations, their bodies will possess antibodies toward poison from grass and flowers.”
“These antibodies will naturally appear in the honey. By refining the honey and removing the layers of sugar and water, the remaining substance is something that can be used to detoxify ten thousand kinds of poison.”
Although ‘ten thousand kinds’ was a little too much of an exaggeration, it was really very effective toward the vast majority of poisonous substances in the living environment of the crown bees.
“No wonder the honey can dispel the illusion cast by the Life-Death Flower Sea.”
Sun Mo was enlightened.
What made him happier was the three types of techniques used to purify the honey in the book. Among them, there was a rapid method. Users could use this in the rural countryside if they lacked relevant tools or materials.
Naturally, the honey purified by this method had a somewhat weaker detoxification effect. But if one urgently needed to use it, this was already sufficient.
The third book was pretty interesting too.
It introduced various bizarre phenomena and sights in the Darkness Continent. It could be considered an encyclopedia that had answers to ‘a hundred thousand whys’.
After learning the three skill books, Sun Mo immediately exited his tent and instructed his students. “Get the honeycombs over.”
“What’s the matter?”
The others were startled and also came out.
“The honey of crown bees has the effect of detoxification. Let me teach you guys how to purify it now.”
Sun Mo stretched lazily.
“You even know this?”
Li Ruolan was shocked.
Swish~
Li Ziqi immediately stared straight at Bai Xiqing.
Pak!
Bai Xiqing immediately covered her ears, indicating that she wouldn’t listen in. (I merely want to watch Sun Mo giving a lecture and admire his graceful bearing.)
“No worries, feel free to learn.”
Sun Mo wasn’t someone who would hide knowledge to himself just because it was valuable. This could be considered as him giving some benefits to this brainless fan of his. After all, she was simply too ‘huge’.
“Hehe, Teacher Sun is so nice!”
Bai Xiqing grinned.
“What a pity!”
Li Ruolan sighed. Although Bai Xiqing was short, when she smiled, she was pretty adorable. Besides, she was so ‘huge’. All guys would surely love that.
Sadly, her face was filled with freckles and would turn people off too much.
Before the time limit was up, Sun Mo had led everyone and handled the bees. After that, he received another wave of favorable impression points again.
On the second morning, everyone leisurely ate their breakfast and continued to advance. But this time around, they were much calmer.
With the Life-Death Flower in hand, they would definitely not fall out of their current grade. If they worked even harder, they might even become a ‘B’ grade famous school starting from next year.
Sun Mo led the team and as they walked, he lectured on the various valuable darkness species that they encountered.
Two days passed.
Just when Sun Mo was worried whether or not An Xinhui had used that other dragon seeking pearl, a cry rang out from the creek.
It originated from the papaya girl who went to fetch water!
