Chapter 937: Earning One Wave First!

Translator: Lordbluefire

Sun Mo let the monkey lead the way and ran for over 30 li before they stopped by a pool. He then had everyone check their body and took a bath.

Sun Mo felt at ease now. He had managed to get in contact with Little Silver, and the Holy Pharaoh had returned as well.

Very soon, a campfire was set up and the smell of roasted meat filled the air.

“Sun Mo, what on earth is going on?”

Li Ruolan couldn’t wait and asked.

She reacted to things as well. Sun Mo was such a proud person, so how could he possibly fear a 5-stars great teacher?

Everyone looked over.

.

Sun Mo smiled and gave his reasoning.

“That vine is good stuff, but it isn’t the best secret treasure. This is!”

As Sun Mo said this, he took out the ‘stolon’ that he had wrapped up with deer hide, throwing it to the floor.

“What do you mean?”

Xianyu Wei was baffled.

Although this stolon was one arm length, there was more of it on the vine. After all, it was a darkness plant that had lived for several hundred years and was very massive.

“Try touching it!” Sun Mo said.

“Let me do it!”

Qin Yaoguang felt very curious and darted out first, reaching her hand to take the stolon.

“How does it feel?” Sun Mo smiled and asked.

“Hmmm? A little hot and slippery.”

Qin Yaoguang was perplexed. This wasn’t a human limb, so why was it hot?

“Sun Mo, stop keeping us in suspense.”

Li Ruolan urged.

“This isn’t that vine’s stolon but a parasite.”

Sun Mo explained, “It is called ‘No Return’. It isn’t a plant but a type of bacteria that lives in the roots of plants. As it is unable to live by itself, the people who first discovered it named it No Return.”

It was a type of bacteria that was close to rhizobia.

“Bacteria?”

Everyone looked stunned.

No matter how they looked at this, it was a plant.

Sun Mo naturally knew what these students were thinking. “That’s why we say that the natural world is ever-changing and mysterious. Don’t be deceived by a certain species’ appearance.”

“In order to adapt to the environment and survive, a living creature’s appearance will be so strange that it surpasses your imagination.”

Hearing how solemn Sun Mo sounded, Li Ziqi and the others quickly got up and bowed.

“We’ve benefited from your teaching!”

“Take a seat. There’s no need to be so polite.”

Sun Mo wasn’t very particular about such etiquette. It was fine as long as they held respect in their hearts.

“Teacher, what effect does it have? Is it still the same as what you said earlier, that it can help one to sleep better and slim down?”

Qin Yaoguang felt curious. She suddenly used strength and threw the stolon strongly toward the ground.

“What are you doing?”

Lu Zhiruo was given a fright.

“Didn’t Teacher say that it’s alive? I want to see what it looks like.”

Qin Yaoguang felt that she’d be able to wake No Return up by doing so.

“It’s useless. You can’t see such bacteria with your naked eyes.”

Sun Mo introduced, “Such species of darkness doesn’t have any medicinal effect by itself. It only has a magical ability that allows it to attach itself to and grow on certain plants, allowing the plant to evolve to the next level.”

“Evolve?”

Everyone didn’t really understand.

“Take a grape vine for example. After the No Return attaches itself onto it, the grapes grown from this grape vine will be big, round, and very tasty. They will also be seedless. It’s also possible for the vines to get thicker and the leaves bigger, but they don’t fruit.”

These were all information that Sun Mo obtained from the books the system had given him.

“This means that the effects No Return has on plants might not necessarily be good?”

Li Ziqi analyzed.

“No, it should be said that the effects might not necessarily be good for humans, but definitely good for plants, allowing them to adapt to the environment.”

Humans would definitely not like grape vines that didn’t produce grapes. However, to grape trees, that shouldn’t matter. They might instead avoid being destroyed by omnivorous animals that liked grapes.

“If we were to transplant it to some rare medicinal herbs, we might be able to evolve them into ones with stronger medicinal effects.”

Mei Ziyu’s expression piqued.

Alchemists’ greatest yearning was to find medicinal herbs with strong effects.

“That’s right. After we get back, we’ll be able to proceed with it.”

Sun Mo looked toward Mei Ziyu. “Ziyu, we’ll need to trouble you for this.”

“No problem.” Mei Ziyu quite liked plants. “But I don’t really know this ‘No Return’ well and will need your cooperation.”

“En!”

Sun Mo was naturally in agreement.

With No Return, it’d meant that a type of medicinal herb could evolve in multiple directions. If this continued, they’d always come across one evolution that had the greatest worth.

“I feel that given how amazing it is, it will be able to get into the top 100 on the magical darkness species list.”

Li Ziqi’s gaze gleamed. With this item, the Central Province Academy would definitely secure a spot in the C grade.

“Those people from Bozi Academy thought that we ran off because we were scared. What they don’t know is that Teacher has taken away the most precious thing, and it was done right in front of their eyes.”

Lu Zhiruo felt that their teacher was really amazing, fooling the opponents with great ease.

Right after the papaya girl said this, Sun Mo received a wave of favorable impression points.

“It’s your monkey’s wary expression that alerted me. Otherwise, I’d have explained about this bacteria to you guys.”

Sun Mo sighed.

It was really scary now that he thought about it. Who would have expected that Zou Qi had kept a trick up his sleeves?

As expected, one mustn’t underestimate any great teachers.

After lunch, Sun Mo led the group to leave this area quickly, heading deeper into the primitive forest.

With the monkey they had just caught to lead the way, Sun Mo could avoid some dangerous areas in advance, avoiding encounters with some of the powerful ferocious beasts. Moreover, they wouldn’t have to move around aimlessly like a headless fly.

This monkey was very smart. It knew the locations of some of the heavenly and earthly treasures.

Of course, Sun Mo headed for the most dangerous area.

Usually, the most dangerous places would have the best treasures!

Meanwhile, Bozi Academy’s teachers and students looked at the vine, fretting.

“How are we going to bring this back? Dig out the entire thing?”

“Are you a fool? Will plants be able to live after they leave the soil? Moreover, there’s still half a month before the league tournament ends. Why would we go back so early?”

“Do you think that its value is enough to let our school retain its grade?”

The group mumbled and the atmosphere was very relaxed. It was because such performance would allow them to receive rewards from the school. They’d definitely be able to get a peak-grade alchemical pill.

“We shouldn’t have let Sun Mo leave. He’d definitely know how to preserve it.”

A female great teacher sighed, feeling a hint of admiration.

“Be satisfied. You’ve humiliated them enough as it is. He was the one who found the spoils first.”

Cui Xiangxin’s lips twitched.

“Let the headmaster go headhunt Sun Mo. Look at his personal disciples, all of them are stronger than the other. This means that Sun Mo is not only knowledgeable but also good at teaching students.”

The female great teacher’s eyes gleamed.

(With that, I’ll have a chance to be colleagues with Sun Mo. We’ll be able to have dinner or check out the night festivals together. This might develop into a relationship.)

“Everyone is discussing so intensely that I can’t bear to interrupt.”

A voice suddenly reached everyone’s ears.

The female great teacher and the others suddenly turned and saw a middle-aged man walking out slowly, his gaze moving on to that vine.

“Dark great teacher?”

Zou Qi’s countenance was grim.

The other party was wearing a green long robe that had branches and tendrils embroidered at the bottom.

“Haha, other than us people from the Dark Dawn, who else would have the guts to look for trouble with you?”

The middle-aged man smiled and said, “Let me introduce myself. I’m Lu Cangqiong from the Dark Dawn. I am the Right Protector serving under the Green-robed Ancestor!”
