Absolute Great Teacher Chapter 957 – Full Harvest

Indeed, Yang Xuecai was about to die.

Earlier, he had only been thinking about quickly leaving this place and hadn’t noticed that the ginseng had stealthily used its tubes to pierce his skin.

Now when he wanted to pull them out, he no longer had sufficient strength.

When Sun Mo’s group arrived, they saw Yang Xuecai with ginseng whiskers growing all over his body. The current him was extremely skinny and looked as though he had suffered from hunger for half a year. Also, his skin was dehydrated and looked like plant fibers.

“Teacher Sun, what’s going on?”

Zhang Shihua felt a shock in his heart. After he finished asking, he suddenly felt lucky when he saw the miserable appearance of Yang Xuecai.

Luckily, no thoughts of seizing the ginseng had appeared in his mind earlier. Otherwise, he would have been the dead one now.

“S…Sun…”

Yang Xuecai hadn’t died yet. When he saw Sun Mo, he was struggling and wanted to cry for help. However, he was already on the verge of death.

“Teacher Yang, you should have read an introduction about the Homeward-Bound Ginseng in some ancient records, right?”

/ please keep reading on MYB0XN0VEL(d0t)C0M.

Sun Mo asked. Not waiting for his reply, Sun Mo continued.

“For darkness plants like this, the number of samples would naturally be very few. Even those who obtained it are grandmaster planters, and they might not be able to find out all its characteristics. At most, they would only record its most commonly-seen state.”

Everyone nodded. That was for sure.

No matter what species, a huge number of samples would be needed before their characteristics could be fully determined. If there was only a single sample, what would happen if it coincidentally exhibited an unusual characteristic?

This was also why those grandmaster authors were so revered because their findings were infinitesimally close to the truth.

“Since such a ginseng can give the consumer one more life, didn’t you think about how strong its vitality must be?”

Sun Mo ridiculed.

No one spoke as they were listening attentively.

“You…”

Yang Xuecai’s lips trembled, wanting to say something.

“Do you want to ask why nothing happened to me?”

Sun Mo smiled. “Because before I gave it to you, I did something!”

“For a ginseng like this, even if one dug it out from the soil, it would still be alive. You have to guarantee they cannot come in contact with any living bodies. Before I gave it to you, I made a small cavity in the ginseng when it was in my bag. The ginseng naturally would want to recover. But where would its nutrient source come from?”

Pak!

Qin Yaoguang clapped her hands. “I understand now. Yang Xuecai was the closest to the ginseng, hence, it decided to drain his life.”

Yang Xuecai was almost angered to death. He didn’t expect that despite his calculations, he would actually fail because of something like this.

What a huge loss.

“Teacher Sun, I’m impressed!”

Huang Chao clasped his hands.

“Teacher Sun, where did you learn all this knowledge from?”

Zhang Shihua was curious.

Yang Xuecai was a 6-star great teacher who was also a doctor and a botanist. His knowledge was vast, and he had seen many ancient books before. If not, he wouldn’t be able to recognize this ginseng, but even he didn’t know about this secret.

No, more accurately, maybe only a rare few among all the grandmaster botanists in the Nine Provinces would know such detailed information.

“From ancient books.”

Sun Mo weaved an excuse.

“Killing someone in an invisible manner. Is this the strength of a great teacher?”

“It’s too cool…Using knowledge to defeat your enemies is much cooler compared to attacking them physically.”

“I also wish to become so learned.”

Everyone sighed in admiration and stared at Sun Mo in worship, contributing a huge wave of favorable impression points.

The beautiful eyes of Lian Fangcao glowed brilliantly as her impression of Sun Mo grew even better.

From the concept of their tribe, it said that a person who loved and understood plants wouldn’t be a bad individual.

After that, Sun Mo used ox leather to wrap the ginseng and placed it back into the bag, protecting it personally.

“Let’s return to our camp.”

Sun Mo was very happy. He had profited immensely in this trip.

Not only did he get this ginseng, but he had also killed the left protector of the Green-robed Ancestor. It could be considered as removing a great calamity for the great teacher world.

“Speaking of which, will the Saint Gate give any reward for the killing of a protector?”

Sun Mo glanced toward Zhang Shihua.

“A peerless-grade heaven-tier alchemy pill or a weapon or cultivation art of equivalent value.”

Zhang Shihua was very experienced and more familiar with things like this.

“You guys have to be witnesses for me, alright?”

Sun Mo laughed.

“That’s for sure!”

Zhang Shihua smiled, wanting to say something but hesitated.

An hour later, everyone exited the cave. Sun Mo turned his head and looked at the tall waterfall before bidding farewell to Zhang Shihua and the others.

“Let’s meet again if we have the chance to in the future.”

“Teacher Zhang, do you have something on your heart?”

Huang Chao asked in a low voice.

“No.”

Zhang Shihua shook his head.

“Hehe, Teacher Zhang is not honest. Are you thinking about joining the Central Province Academy?”

After Huang Chao finished speaking, he saw that Zhang Shihua was like a dog whose tail was stepped on. There was no need to ask; his guess must have been correct.

“Impossible, I have no such intentions, don’t speak blindly!”

Zhang Shihua denied it thrice.

But in his heart, he was really thinking of this.

After this tournament ended, the Central Province Academy would surely ascend to the ‘B’ grade and their ranking would be even higher than the Swallowsea Academy. The most important thing was that the Central Province Academy was filled with potential.

Sun Mo was already so strong. In that case, after some decades or a hundred years, he would definitely become a major character in the great teacher world.

If he jumped over now and formed a good relationship with Sun Mo, he would have endless benefits.

But what depressed him was that Sun Mo didn’t seem to have any intentions of wanting to headhunt him!

No matter what, Zhang Shihua was a 5-star great teacher and he wanted face. He didn’t want to lose face by taking the initiative to seek employment.

“Actually, I also want to jump over and join the Central Province Academy.”

Huang Chao stared in the direction where Sun Mo left and sighed. “Sadly, I don’t think he has me in his sights!”

“Ai, why is Sun Mo so powerful? He’s simply not giving others a path of survival!”

Zhang Shihua was psychologically impacted.

Seeing Sun Mo who was rising like the sun, Zhang Shihua felt like a rotting corpse with one foot in his grave.

…

Sun Mo didn’t expect that his performance would cause two great teachers to want to join his school. If he knew, he absolutely wouldn’t reject them.

Who would feel that their school had too many great teachers?!

“System, learn the [Mysteries of Poison] and the [Advanced Theories of the Study of Poison].”

Sun Mo instructed.

In an instant, large amounts of knowledge on the study of poison entered Sun Mo’s mind.

One couldn’t help but say that these pieces of knowledge would naturally cause people to feel uncomfortable.

It was like fiddling around with dangerous chemical substances. Sun Mo felt an innate rejection to learn them.

“As expected, I’m talentless in this aspect!”

Sun Mo sighed. However, he still took the initiative to collect poisonous herbs that could be purified in order to prepare for a rainy day.

“Sun Mo, do you have any thoughts after killing Lu Wuyin?”

Li Ruolan decided to take the chance to interview Sun Mo since they were all idling.

“I hope that the Green-robed Ancestor will only target me for his revenge and not find trouble for the other teachers and students.”

These words were sincere ones.

For major characters like the Green-robed Ancestor, as long as they were determined to cause destruction, ordinary people would really suffer heavy casualties.

“Just kill him then.”

After Bai Xiqing spoke, everyone laughed.

Because this was impossible.

Due to them having a good harvest, everyone was chatting happily on the way back, and the atmosphere was relaxed. However, their expressions changed after they were back at their campsite.

“Where’s everyone?”

Seeing the empty campsite, Xianyu Wei was filled with worry. “Were the others abducted by bad people?”

Sun Mo frowned.

“There are traces of fighting on the ground, but there’s no blood. They should have been captured alive.”

Helian Beifan scanned the surroundings.

“Or maybe they managed to escape?”

Xianyu Wei did her best to think positively.

“No, there are no leaving footsteps belonging to our eldest martial sister and the others.”

Helian Beifang rejected this possibility.

“What should we do now?”

Xuanyuan Po felt a headache. He could fight but was useless when it came to tracking and finding people!
