This.
How was this accomplished?
Everyone on the scene could be said to be one of the most intelligent groups in the Nine Provinces. However, right now, all of them felt like they were illiterate idiots.
How did this tiny box-like thing manage to calculate a series of numbers so quickly?
Could there be a human brain stuffed inside it?
“Teacher Sun, what’s the theory?”
‘A secondary saint wasn’t ashamed of consulting people beneath him and asked.
‘The others also quickly looked at Sun Mo, thirsting for his answer.
This scene was like people of the older generation seeing a radio for the first time. They kept feeling someone must be hidden inside the radio. If not, how would it be able to transmit voices?
“In the calculator, there’s a spirit rune microchip. It’s the thing that’s responsible for the calculations.”
Sun Mo explained to everyone.
All the great teachers of the other subjects had dumbfounded looks on their faces as they couldn’t understand. However, the eyes of the spirit runists started to glow. Although they only understood half, they could comprehend some of the simpler concepts at the very least.
“On the microchip, there’s a digital programming circuit that runs on a certain type of logic in advance. Storing numbers and inputting numbers? That is just a process.”
‘That secondary saint kneaded his glabella; his head felt like exploding.
Although he didn’t know what Sun Mo was talking about, it felt very high-end.
The vast majority of great teachers probably wouldn’t be able to understand this thing.
“Spirit rune programming is a very systematic branch of knowledge. Even if I speak for three days and nights, I won’t be able to finish speaking. If everyone wants to hear more about it, please feel free to head to the Central Province Academy!”
Sun Mo smiled lightly and tossed out a bait.
Amoment later, many spirit runists felt their hearts being moved.
“Teacher Sun, pardon me for being mouthy. Can this be considered a result of your learning? By sharing it publicly, are you not afraid of others stealing your idea?”
A secondary saint didn’t understand.
In the great teacher world, some great teachers with vile personalities would pilfer the learning results of others. So, if everyone had something good, their first instinct would be to hide it and would only pass it down to sons and not daughters.
“The study of spirit rune language will definitely become an extremely important branch of the study of spirit runes in the future. I alone have no way to speed up the development, so I hope that everyone can join in and bring a transformation to this world, allowing everyone to be able to live better
lives!”
Sun Mo’s tone was sincere.
Everyone immediately bowed to express their respect and thanks with regard to Sun Mo’s generosity.
The inspection ended but the great teachers didn’t leave. All of them gathered beside Su Taiging and were currently playing with the calculator with no hints of boredom.
“Why have I never discovered that addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division are so fun to play with?”
The secondary saint sighed ruefully.
Sun Mo decided to return and make a calculator that had voice effects within. Oh right, he could make Lu Zhiruo be the voice actress!
No matter the era, major characters with high statuses and prestige would have the most updated news.
During the night when the inspection ended, the headmasters of many famous schools already learned that Sun Mo had created a spirit particle calculator, and it belonged to the crystallization of intelligence in this era.
This indicated that the last checkpoint for Sun Mo to become an 8-stars was his lecture tour through the Nine Provinces.
The venues of his lectures also had conditions attached to them. The lectures had to be conducted in major cities that had over a million in population, along with an A-grade famous school being located there.
This was to make it convenient for great teachers and students to go and listen to the lectures. At the same time, because A-grade schools had a high-enough standard, they could put pressure on the lecturer and make them do their best.
The lecture tours had to be conducted for ten rounds at the very least, but there were no upper limits. It was fine as long as it was done within three years.
After those headmasters received the news, they immediately wrote letters to Su Taiging, hoping for him to send Sun Mo to their schools and use them as his lecture venues.
The current Sun Mo was like a delicious cake.
If they missed this opportunity, when they wanted to invite Sun Mo to give lectures at their schools again, the price they had to pay would be too great.
In the office, Su Taiqing showed Sun Mo a thick stack of letters.
“Take a look. There are so many people who want you to go to their city to give lectures!”
Su Taiqing personally poured a cup of tea for Sun Mo. “Your outstandingness has been recognized.”
“Sect Lord is praising me too much!”
Sun Mo replied humbly.
“What plans do you have?”
Su Taiqing asked with a smile.
“Tm not experienced. Sect Lord, do you have any pointers for me?”
Sun Mo didn’t really mind going anywhere, so he might as well take this chance and sell Su Taiqing a favor.
“For other great teachers, they would usually start from smaller places to accumulate experience and improve their fame. Even if they screwed up, there wouldn’t be too many people who saw it. After they are more experienced, they would then head to the Nine Greats and their final stop would be the
Jixia Learning Palace.”
$u Taiging shared his experience.
“However, you are different from them. You are already famous at such a young age, and your fame currently is like the sun in the sky. You should directly start at Jixia Learning Palace. If your performance is excellent, your fame will be boosted to another level. At that time, you can head to the other
cities and give lectures, and it would surely draw more people over.”
During this era, traveling was not as convenient, so the time spent traveling would delay many things.
If Sun Mo wasn’t famous enough, some great teachers would feel fine even if they didn’t hear his lectures. But if Sun Mo had proved himself in the Jixia Learning Palace, even those great teachers who lived in remote places wouldn’t mind rushing over to listen to his lecture.
“Don’t be ina rush to make a decision.”
$u Taiging indicated for Sun Mo to think over this calmly. “The Jixia Learning Palace is a holy ground for learning in the Nine Provinces. They don’t only have the largest library in the world but also great ancestors that stand at the forefront of their respective subjects. It is much more difficult if you want
to ‘subdue’ them.”
‘The Jixia Learning Palace was part of the Nine Greats and also where the first saint in the Nine Provinces was born. Lecturing in Jixia was the most imposing and most dazzling learning activity.
If great teachers wanted to express their theory or learning results, they had to make a trip to the Jixia Rostrum, or others would feel that their theories had no foundation to fall back upon.
“Tl choose Jixia Learning Palace as my first stop then!”
Sun Mo had decided. After all, when he played games, he would always start with hell mode.
“How many lectures are you planning to do and where? Think carefully about these things and let me know your answer in three days!”
Su Taiging reminded him. “The schedule will be printed in the [Great Teachers Report]. So, no changes would be permitted.”
Sun Mo returned to the hotel and discussed with An Xinhui for two days before finalizing a travel schedule.
During this period, several headmasters had personally come by for a visit and hoped that Sun Mo could go to their schools to start a lecture tour.
In order to move Sun Mo, they had even taken the initiative to give him money, provide food and lodging, and be fully responsible for all expenses and miscellaneous stuff that needed to be done.
An Xinhui was so envious that she wanted to strangle herself.
When would she become as popular as Sun Mo?
After the travel schedule was confirmed, Sun Mo returned to the Central Province Academy and stayed for two months before setting off again.
He headed to the Han City of the Qi Empire.
The Jixia Learning Palace was located there.
In this northern city, it was currently deep autumn. The maple trees that filled the streets and alleyways were already red, making it seem that the entire city was painted with layers of red.
Its color was like reigniting embers or the flow of fresh blood.
‘As Sun Mo entered the city, his first reaction was that the level of culture here was very high. Even peddlers on the streets spoke very politely.
In other cities, many children wouldn’t study due to their families being poor. But in Han City, even a three-year-old toddler was clad in student uniforms and looked like a tiny studious adult.
This was all due to the effort of the Jixia Learning Palace.
A thousand years ago, this school had started to build private schools to guide children. Therefore, in all the cities and counties of the country, there were private schools under the Jixia Learning Palace.
Speaking of the literary rate and level of knowledge, the Qi Country was ranked at the absolute top of the Nine Provinces. However, because they were too focused on education, their martial aspects weren’t that strong.
“We have more than enough time in the future to slowly stroll around. Let us find a place to stay first.”
Upon arriving at Han City, the introverted Mei Ziyu became more bubbly and started to act like a host as she brought everyone around.
“Teacher Mei, I’ve already bought a large residence in advance!”
Li Ziqi still felt that staying at her private house would make everyone feel more comfortable. However, Mei Ziyu insisted on everyone going to her home.
This time around, the students came along as well. After all, this was the most important series of lectures in their teacher’s life. They naturally wanted to personally witness this.
“A recently purchased house doesn’t have the human aura within. Also, you guys don’t have to feel restrained. My mother is in the alchemy chamber almost every day, so she’s basically not at home.”
Mei Ziyu chortled and led everyone to her home.
An Xinhui was too busy and couldn’t come. Hence, Gu Xiuxun and Murong Mingyue used the pretext of broadening their horizons to accompany Sun Mo here.
Sun Mo was lost in his thoughts as he sat in the carriage, leaning against the window.
During the evening, when everyone had settled their lodgings and was preparing to eat dinner, Mei Yazhi and an old man with an extraordinary demeanor arrived.
“Bratty girl, why didn’t you say that you are going to return?”
Mei Yazhi stared at her daughter and had a look like she wanted to scold Mei Ziyu.
“IL will return once every year next time!”
‘Mei Ziyu was astonished. (In the past, when I came back, wasn’t I the one who always took the initiative to go to the alchemy chamber to find you?)
Pak!
Mei Yazhi rapped her daughter’s head.
“Lwas worried that you might mistreat Sun Mo.”
After Mei Yazhi shot a glare at her daughter, she smiled and greeted Sun Mo.
“Aunty Mei!”
Sun Mo didn’t address her as ‘Teacher Mei’.
‘As expected, this way of address made Mei Yazhi’s mood become much better. She found Sun Mo increasingly pleasing to the eye. (Ai, if it isn’t for the fact that I’m old now, I will definitely make sure he lands in my hand.)
(But when are you planning on calling me ‘mother-in-law?)
“You don’t have to feel restrained. Just treat this place as your home and stay as long as you want to. It’s the same in the school as well. If anyone dares to show you attitude, just let me know and I’ll strangle that person to death.”
Mei Yazhi’s ‘thigh’ was also extremely thick now.
During these few years, she depended on the recipes Sun Mo had given her and had improved her alchemy skills tremendously. Besides, she also had top-graded alchemy pills as stakes and was doing very well for herself in the academy. She was already one of the vice headmasters now.
“Yazhi, how can you say such things? The students and teachers of my academy are always polite to guests!”
The old man frowned.
“Hehe!”
Mei Yazhi mentally mused that scholars tended to disparage one another. These great teachers were the same as well. As they heard that Sun Mo wanted to come to Jixia Learning Palace to give lectures, a portion of them wanted to learn from him, but another portion was preparing to show him who’s
boss, wanting to let Sun Mo know how deep, profound, and immeasurable the foundations of their school were.
They wanted to let Sun Mo know that he shouldn’t treat this place like a stepping stone. Instead, he should come here with a heart of reverence to learn.
The old man saw that Mei Yazhi had no plans to introduce him. Hence, he could only take the initiative to speak. “I’m the Headmaster of Jixia Learning Palace, Wei Ziyou. It’s a huge pleasure to be able to meet you!”
“Please pardon me for lacking my manners before a saint!”
Sun Mo hurriedly bowed and greeted.
His students did the same as well.
Wei Ziyou had been famous for many years, as he was publicly proclaimed as the Nine Provinces Pill Sage.. It also meant that he had the beautiful reputation of being the best alchemist!
