Chapter 834 - Preparing to Create A Miracle!

“My planting skills can finally be put to good use.”

Sun Mo rubbed his hands eagerly and prepared to go all out.

To Murong Mingyue, let alone reviving this withered tree, it was basically impossible for any plants to bloom during winter. Why? Because this was against the laws of life that governed the myriad of creatures.

But to Sun Mo who had seen greenhouses, he believed that human effort could trump the heavens.

He first had to check whether the peach trees had really died.

If they were dead, things would be extremely hard to handle.

Sun Mo was busy for half an hour and did a thorough examination of over ten peach trees. After that, he heaved a sigh of relief.

These peach trees might have withered branches, but their roots were still alive. More accurately, they were in a state of hibernation.

The headmaster’s wife wasn’t a fool. She knew the climate in the grassy plains wasn’t suitable for the growth of peach trees; hence, the variant of peach trees she had chosen were all plucked from the Darkness Continent.

The greatest plus point of these peach trees was that they could endure the cold and needed very little water to survive. When the weather was favorable, they would germinate and grow.

The status of the headmaster’s wife was very respectable. She naturally wouldn’t care for these trees personally. However, the Dragon Subduing Academy’s gardener basically had no experience in planting such trees. Hence, just a few years later, these trees withered and ‘died’.

The headmaster’s wife felt very depressed for some time and tried to think of a solution to save them. But the headmaster spoke out. He didn’t want her to waste manpower and resources, and the matter of saving these trees was put aside.

Originally, this peach blossom forest was to be torn down and replaced with other trees. However, the headmaster instructed people to leave them behind as a warning so others could view this as an example.

The branches of the numerous withered peach trees waved wildly in the air. They were like frail, skinny beggars who were on the verge of death due to hunger. They were not pretty to look at.

Moreover, because this matter involved the headmaster’s wife, everyone would usually remain at a respectful distance from this place. But Murong Mingyue would always come here when she was vexed to calm down.

“Murong Mingyue, I will show you what is called ‘spring comes upon a withered tree.’”

Sun Mo was filled with confidence.

He originally had some ideas and just so nicely, he could use these peach trees to do some experiments.

Actually, Mei Ziyu’s planting skills were extremely brilliant, but Sun Mo didn’t want to ask her for help in case Murong Mingyue refused to acknowledge the promise.

“It would be perfect if I can become the champion and also headhunt a near-ancestor level great teacher.”

Sun Mo suddenly recalled the Great Desolation Dragon Subduing Scripture of this famous school. How good would it be if he could learn a move or two?

Because this was an ultimate divine art of the school, only direct descendants or trusted subordinates of the headmaster could learn it. However, there was definitely no opportunity for Sun Mo to spar with them. So, even though he had Immemorial Vairocana, it was useless.

“I wonder if I can find some clues in the Dragon Subduing Palace.”

After the lectures for the day ended, Sun Mo finished eating dinner with Xianyu Wei and headed to the training room to cultivate.

The potential value of this fat girl might be extremely high, but it hadn’t been completely excavated yet. Although her learning speed wasn’t slow, because of her fattiness, she wasn’t able to do the movements required in cultivation arts perfectly. This caused her improvement to be slow.

Luckily, with Sun Mo’s a week worth of continuous massage, she finally slimmed down, and her expertise in the Dharma Skyshock Fist could be considered proficient now.

“From today onward, we will start with practical combat.”

Sun Mo prepared to hasten the pace.

The Autumn Hunting Sacrificial Ceremony was about to arrive. He couldn’t allow Xianyu Wei to progress slowly.

“Great Teacher Sun, please drink some water.”

Upon seeing Sun Mo exiting, the aunty who was the gatekeeper instantly ran over with a cup she prepared. “I added some honey, it’s very sweet.”

“No need, thanks!” Sun Mo rejected. “This is the key.”

“You can just hold on to it!”

The aunty laughed.

Actually, this was against the rules because it was considered a waste of resources. Hence, the school had decreed that one had to return the key every time after they finished using a training room. They could not hold on to it permanently.

But this also depended on who was the one using the room.

The aunty had checked. This Great Teacher Sun was said to have near-ancestor level expertise in the study of spirit runes. Not only did the princess of the great Jin Country, Wanyan Mei, attend his lecture, but over ten great teachers also attended it.

For such a person, they would definitely be able to remain in the Dragon Subduing Academy and have a high status.

If she didn’t fawn on Sun Mo now, when should she do it? Moreover, he also knew how to treat her illness.

When she thought about this, the aunty’s expression turned even more humble.

“I’ve already told you not to eat meat or sweet stuff. Why can’t you remember my words?”

Sun Mo frowned.

“Eh!”

The aunty felt awkward and explained in a low voice, “I didn’t eat any of them.”

“You didn’t eat?”

Sun Mo kneaded the aunty’s shoulder. “You ate two rabbit legs during breakfast. You must be very rich, right?”

“Ah?”

The aunty was completely shocked and subconsciously wiped her mouth. Was there grease on it?

“If you wish to live longer, follow my instructions.”

Sun Mo walked away and couldn’t be bothered to waste words with this person. He gave her advice as a reward because during these few days, she had helped to reserve the best training room for his usage.

“Great Teacher Sun, are there no other solutions? If I cannot eat meat, I might as well die.”

The aunty pleaded.

Sun Mo didn’t turn his head.

The aunty wanted to chase after him but was stopped by Xianyu Wei.

“Teacher won’t harm you. Also, he is very busy. Don’t disturb him with these senseless matters.”

After Xianyu Wei spoke, she followed Sun Mo.

The aunty laughed mockingly, but she soon stared at Xianyu Wei.

“Eh? This fat girl grew skinnier by a size?”

Seeing the tight-fitted clothes of Xianyu Wei being now much looser, the aunty was badly shocked. What did that Great Teacher Sun do exactly?

(Damn, why did I forget to peek?)

However, the aunty already decided to follow Sun Mo’s instructions religiously in her heart.

Ding!

Favorable impression points from a random aunty +100. Friendly (170/1,000).

…

The three dorm mates of Xianyu Wei clearly sensed her transformation. After all, women were the most passionate and sensitive about figures and gossip.

“Xianyu, how did you lose so much weight?”

Gao Wa was curious.

During the night, someone finally couldn’t bear it and asked.

Xianyu Wei didn’t say anything because Sun Mo had instructed her to keep this a secret.

“Could it be that you have eaten some forbidden medicine? Those things would harm your body a lot.”

Gao Wa wasn’t reminding her out of good will. She wanted to probe the truth.

“In any case, she has no future. It doesn’t matter if the forbidden medicine harms her body, right?”

Nuo Min, who was lying on her bed and reading, mocked. (Just an ugly duckling. So what if she lost weight?)

From her point of view, this undisciplined fatty should have been expelled long ago. Every day she was around meant an additional day of humiliation for the school.

“I didn’t eat forbidden medicine, it’s Teacher Sun’s massage…”

Xianyu Wei couldn’t endure such disdain and doubting attitudes. Moreover, because she was pure-hearted, she blurted the truth out due to anxiety.

“Teacher Sun? Which Teacher Sun?”

Gao Wa asked.

“You can even lose weight through a massage? Are you lying to me?”

Nuo Min’s lips twitched. (You don’t even know how to lie, what an idiot.)

“I…I’ll go take a shower.”

Xianyu Wei decided to dodge the questions.

“Che, I really feel disgusted sharing a room with this fellow.”

Nuo Min kicked the wall.

“Losing so much weight in a single week, she definitely ate some forbidden medicine. Don’t worry, if this continued, her body would soon collapse. As the person in the last rank during the Autumn Hunting Sacrificial Ceremony, she would surely be expelled.”

Gao Wa giggled.

It wasn’t easy being a student of the Dragon Subduing Academy. There were two examinations per year and the last-ranker would be forced to quit school.

…

During the next morning, Sun Mo brought Xianyu Wei to the Dragon Subduing Palace, preparing her for practical combat. After that, he saw Xiao Ri`nan who was holding crutches.
