Chapter 1289 Divine Pill, Soul Returnal. The Return of the Old Headmaster?

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Jadeblood Pill Heart?

When these words were spoken by Mei Ziyu, all the great teachers on the scene went crazy. Their gazes toward Mei Yazhi were also filled with shock, astonishment, and suspicion.

How old was she merely?

She actually comprehended such a profound realm?

Jadeblood Pill Heart was said to be a type of talent the heavens bestowed on the most industrious, most talented, and the most fortunate alchemist.

Everyone knew that when alchemists were concocting pills, they were the most afraid of accidents. Once they couldn’t resolve any unexpected situations in time, the pills they were concocting would be wasted.

But the Jadeblood Pill Heart was a type of magical mental state. After an alchemist activated it, when unexpected accidents occurred during concoction, they would be able to sense it in advance.

At the same time when in such a state, the inspiration of the alchemist would bubble like springwater. Many miraculous thoughts would be generated.

In the alchemy world, there were now many famous peerless saint-tier alchemy pills. These were all invented by alchemists under the state of the Jadeblood Pill Heart.

One could say that after Mei Yazhi comprehended Jadeblood Pill Heart, she would definitely be able to be a legend in the alchemy world. It was almost guaranteed that she would become a pill sage. Those great teachers who majored in alchemy all had gazes filled with insuppressible envy and jealousy.

This was the Jadeblood Pill Heart, a realm that they didn’t even dare to imagine when they dreamed. But very soon, they controlled their emotions.

Mei Yazhi originally was a reserve candidate to become the headmaster. Now after she comprehended this realm, there was already no doubt that she would become the next headmaster of Jixia Academy.

Even if she couldn’t become it, her title as a pill sage was already enough to make them feel reverence.

The other great teachers didn’t have such complicated emotions. They only felt excitement. Mei Yazhi was beautiful and had a good personality. Her popularity in the school was extremely high. Even when students requested pills from her, they would basically all succeed.

There was naturally no need to mention great teachers. As long as they thickened their skin to ask Mei Yazhi for help on getting a pill, there would definitely be no problems.

“Great Ancestor Mei, congratulations!”

It was like Mei Yazhi didn’t hear them. She stared dumbly at her hands and only regained her senses a few minutes later. But this time around, she didn’t cry from joy. Rather, she smiled calmly and after that, she turned to Sun Mo and sank into a deep bow.

“Sun-laoshi, thank you for your spirit rune, it helped me to comprehend the Jadeblood Pill Heart!”

Mei Yazhi’s tone was sincere and the content of her words caused the eyes of the spectating great teachers to glow.

“Are you saying that if I tattoo a forbidden spirit rune, I also have the chance to comprehend the Jadeblood Pill Heart?”

A great teacher hoped in vain. “You are not an alchemist, what nonsense are you talking about?”

“One can stab people to death even without a spearhead. Who says that spirit runists cannot comprehend this realm?”

“Is there such a thing?”

The great teachers quarreled. Some high star-ranking great teachers with cautious personalities in the past didn’t want to take the risk and tattoo a forbidden spirit rune. But after they saw Mei Yazhi, they couldn’t withstand their urges anymore.

Even if they weren’t alchemists, they were prepared to get one.

“Aunty Mei, you are tormenting me!”

Sun Mo hurriedly dodged, not daring to claim the credit.

“Just accept it. In any case, this is the last time.”

Mei Yazhi was half-teasing and half-serious. “In the future, after you marry Ziyu, you will be kowtowing and greeting me every day.”

Huo!

Everyone was in an uproar and immediately said they were a match made in heaven. Naturally, it would be even better if Sun Mo could stay in the Jixia Academy forever.

“Mother!”

Mei Ziyu was somewhat shy. Her face was already completely red.

“Aunty Mei!”

Sun Mo bitterly smiled and could only feign ignorance.

Mei Ziyu was very fond of him and has waited for close to ten years. It wasn’t that he didn’t know this but he still had a fiancee in the Central Province Academy and he truly didn’t know what to do?

Although the custom of the Nine Provinces was one man could marry many wives, these girls were all heaven chosen and probably wouldn’t agree to share a husband. “Silly kid!”

Mei Yazhi rubbed her daughter’s head.

Sun Mo’s fame was too great, so great to the extent that even someone like Mei Yazhi who was the leader of a great teacher aristocratic clan, a vice headmaster of the Jixia Academy, someone close to being an ancestor, wouldn’t dare to casually bring up the topic of marriage. If she was rejected, it would be too embarrassing

But things were different now. She had concocted a divine pill and got to the ancestor level. She had even comprehended the Jadeblood Heart Pill, so she would definitely be able to become a pill sage. This caused Mei Yazhi to have the confidence of a ‘mother-in-law’ so she ‘admonished’ Sun Mo.

(You are a man, there’s no need for you to be afraid of waiting. But if my daughter continued to wait, she would become a spinster.)

“Wow, forcing a marriage in public!” Among the crowd, Qin Yaoguang teased. The great teachers here were all high-ranked ones, with the lowest being 7-stars. So, the students didn’t dare to act too brazenly and could only wait outside.

“Don’t speak blindly!”

Li Ziqi used her elbow to prod Qin Yaoguang. She didn’t know why but she felt somewhat unbearable in her heart.

“I don’t want Teacher to marry!”

Lu Zhiruo mumbled under her breath before realizing that she shouldn’t say such words. Hence, she hurriedly lowered her head and started drawing circles on the ground with her foot.

Mei Yazhi took a wooden box out and kept the valuable Heaven and Earth Soul Returnal Pill inside before passing the box to Sun Mo. “Take

it!”

“How can I take this?” Sun Mo didn’t dare to accept it. Although he wanted it, this pill was simply too valuable. Because it was a divine pill, there was only one of it in the world. It was impossible for a second exact one to be concocted. “Take it and save the old headmaster!”

Mei Yazhi was very understanding. “In any case, if it wasn’t for you, there wouldn’t be this

pill.”

Sun Mo felt conflicted.

Mei Yazhi laughed and pushed the box into Sun Mo’s hands. “If you feel bad, you can come more often to the Jixia Academy for an exchange and give more lectures!”

“This suggestion isn’t bad!”

“Agreed!” “You might as well just remain here!”

The great teachers all started speaking out, causing the atmosphere to be truly amicable. It was like they were looking at their own son-in-law.

Only the great teachers who were in love with Mei Ziyu felt bitter. They understood that they no longer had a chance. “Everyone dispersed. Yazhi is tired and needs to rest!”

Wei Ziyou spoke.

Just when everyone prepared to disperse, the sound of a commotion rang out from outside. “Quickly look, a book is flying in the air!”

“Why would the divine book be here?”

“Could it be looking for Teacher Mei?”

Under the exclamation of shock, a book arced through the air and broke through the roof before hovering in the air above the alchemy chamber.

Hence, all the great teachers lifted their heads with astonished expressions. A thought arose in their minds. (Is this book here for Sun Mo?)

As expected, in the next instant, that divine book of the Heaven-Ask Library suddenly zoomed toward Sun Mo like a pet bird returning home after a long period of wandering. After that, it began to fly in circles around Sun Mo. It resembled a husky that just saw its owner after the owner came back from work.

Sun Mo’s lips twitched a little. He actually had no wish to read this book.

(You are so passionate, so you probably have something you need my help with, right?)

“Saint, Aunty Mei, and all the seniors here. I have something on so I will be making a move first!”

Sun Mo clasped his hands. After that, he activated his Skyward Spirit Rune and directly fled.

(I can’t afford to offend it but I can still hide!)

Pada!

The divine book that got rejected was heavily psychologically impacted once more. After that, it started flipping its pages, acting like a small kid who was throwing tantrums because its mother didn’t want to buy it a toy. “…is it pouting?” The major characters here who had wide horizons also couldn’t help but exchange mutual glances right now.

OW.

After Sun Mo returned to the Mei Residence and entered his bedroom, he summoned Little Silver to build a teleportation gate and rushed back to the Central Province Academy. “Go and inform An Xinhui to meet at the old headmaster’s courtyard.”

Sun Mo summoned the scarab beetle and instructed it. After that, he went to the private library of the old headmaster. There was an icy cave constructed there and the old headmaster’s unconscious body was there.

“Sun Mo, why did you suddenly come and see grandpa?”

An Xinhui rushed over and stared at Sun Mo doubtfully. “Mei Yazhi has concocted the Heaven and Earth Soul Returnal Pill, and she gave it to

me.”

Sun Mo’s words were concise and comprehensive.

Why did Sun Mo wait for her? It was because the door to the icy cave could only be opened with An Xinhui’s key. This was to prevent others from hurting the old headmaster.

“Excellent!”

An Xinhui was so happy that she cried. She then impatiently opened the door. A stream of cold air gusted over.

Even Sun Mo who had a strong body shivered. A thousand-year ice bed that emitted a white glow could be seen, and the old headmaster was quietly lying on it. His body was skinny to the extent where only skin and bones were left.

“I wonder if it could save grandpa?”

An Xinhui was worried.

Looking at his current condition, if he still didn’t awaken, he probably wouldn’t be able to last more than a few years.

“Definitely!”

Sun Mo passed the pill box to An Xinhui. “Why don’t you feed him the pill?”

“Alright!”

An Xinhui received it and opened the box. After that, she was stunned.

This Heaven and Earth Soul Returnal Pill, which possessed a ‘ring’ around it, was incomparably beautiful. Even if ordinary people saw it, they would know that it was a divine grade alchemy pill.

The medical fragrance filled the air. After An Xinhui smelled it, her soul was like a cleansed wok that was previously stained by oil. That feeling of comfort made her involuntarily want to cry out.

“Is this a divine pill?”

An Xinhui frowned. She was an alchemist and naturally knew this.

“Mn!”

Sun Mo urged. “Don’t waste time anymore. Act quickly!”

“Why would Ancestor Mei give you such a

pill?”

An Xinhui didn’t move and was suddenly worried. Was this something her fiance had to use his body to obtain?

“I gave her the prescription, and I also helped out a little during the concoction process.”

Sun Mo casually explained the situation in a few sentences. “Don’t feel conflicted about these things. If you really feel that this favor is too heavy, you can wait until the old headmaster awakens and get him to repay the favor!”

An Xinhui stared at Sun Mo with bitter resentment. (Are you still unwilling to address him as ‘grandpa’?)

This was as expected of a divine pill. Just after the old headmaster consumed it, a weak layer of red light sprang up from his body, resembling the dried land welcoming the spring rain after a long period of drought.

Sun Mo hurriedly inspected the old headmaster’s body. After that, under An Xinhui’s gaze of anticipation, he shook his head. “Grandpa failed when trying to ascend to the Saint Realm. Although he luckily retained his life, the root of his life was too heavily damaged. So, it is still unknown whether he can wake up or not.” Sun Mo explained. “But it’s better than not having hope.” “Mn!”

An Xinhui accepted this reality. “Sun Mo, thank you!”

“How’s the situation at school recently?”

Sun Mo changed the topic.

“All’s well!”

An Xinhui squeezed out a smile. “After grandpa awakens, I can brag to him and say that this is all your credit.”

An Xinhui was still a shy person and couldn’t bring herself to say something like ‘the fiance my grandpa chose for me is truly outstanding’.

The two of them chatted while they waited here for over an hour before leaving. Sun Mo then returned to the Jixia Academy to handle the remaining miscellaneous stuff. After that, he prepared to head to the next city to continue his lecture tour.

When An Xinhui locked the door, she didn’t see that the withered wood-like eyelids of the old headmaster actually fluttered a little.
