“Everyone, leave!”
‘Wei Ziyou started to clear the area.
“Little Silver!”
‘Time was tight and the mission was of great importance. Hence, Sun Mo could not care to conceal the eight-gate cloud anymore and summoned it.
Inan instant, a silver eight trigrams-shaped cloud drifted over at an extremely fast speed. Because it was too fast, it even dragged out silver afterimages behind it like a small tail.
‘As soon as Little Silver landed, it tuned into a spatial door under Sun Mo’s instructions. The spatial gate was covered in profound and mysterious runes.
Sun Mo plunged in and headed for the Wind King Hall to retrieve the surgical supplies.
“This… this…”
‘Wei Ziyou was a little stunned. Sun Mo even had such a good thing?
This cloud was ranked 10th on the mysterious darkness species list, a secret treasure that was unique in the world that couldn’t be obtained without a great opportunity.
Even Mei Yazhi, who should not be distracted, could not help but frown and take a few more glances.
In less than a minute, Sun Mo returned with many metal boxes on him. They were filled with surgical instruments, medicine, and so on.
If it wasn’t for the fact that there wasn’t enough time and he wasn’t sure if Bai Wenzhang was at home, Sun Mo would have gone to the Dragonspirit Manor and called Bai Wenzhang over to be his assistant.
“Aunty Mei, I’m sorry if I offend you!”
With that, Sun Mo ripped off Mei Yazhi’s clothes. “Ziyu, help me clean the blood on her skin. Ziqi, Zhiruo, Tantai, the three of you come in.”
The sickly guy’s current medical skills were very advanced, so he could be an assistant in charge of monitoring Mei Yazhi’s vital signs. The little sunny egg would be an assistant who could draw spirit runes for Sun Mo at critical moments.
“Teacher, what should I do?”
‘The papaya girl was very nervous.
“Just watch from the side!”
The reason Sun Mo needed Lu Zhiruo was because he wanted to borrow her good luck.
As he spoke, Sun Mo had started taking action.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
However, Wei Ziyou was one step ahead of Sun Mo. He applied three great teacher halos on Sun Mo, namely Complete Concentration, Telepathic Understanding, and One Heart Two Uses.
Sun Mo could do it too, but using it himself would consume spirit qi.
“As expected of a saint, very experienced!”
Sun Mo then added Keen Perception while concurrently performing the ancient massaging technique.
The muscular genie appeared and started to repair Mei Yazhi’s bones, tendons, and muscles. Sun Mo did not stay idle either. He treated her while analyzing her body and coming up with the simulation of the most perfect rune-drawing plan in his mind.
“Tell me what your next step is. If it’s an important step and requires big action, I’ll cooperate with you.”
Sun Mo reminded Mei Yazhi while also telling her what he was going to do in a few minutes.
Mei Yazhi heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this.
Her decision was right. She should trust Sun Mo.
This son-in-law was meticulous and thought things through.
Mei Yazhi knew that drawing spirit runes was a meticulous job. It might even fail if she were to suddenly move.
‘The communication they were having prior to taking action was to prevent such a situation from happening. This also meant that Sun Mo was capable of adapting to the situation if required to.
One and a half hours later, the treatment ended and Mei Yazhi’s body returned to normal. There were no signs of damage from the explosion at all.
Her skin was especially smooth and delicate like silk, making one want to rub against it.
“To think that God Hands is so terrifying?”
‘Wei Ziyou exclaimed.
Mei Yazhi also heaved a sigh of relief secretly. Which woman didn’t like to be beautiful? No one would feel good to have a body full of scars.
“The important part has yet to come!”
Sun Mo picked up the spirit rune knife and started drawing.
If it wasn’t for the fact that the ancient massaging technique could remove spirit runes and restore the skin to its original state, Sun Mo would definitely not have dared to do so. This was because spirit rune surgeries did not allow for mistakes.
This was also the reason why Bai Wenzhang had wanted Sun Mo to be his assistant. In the past, if the spirit rune was inscribed wrongly, the experimental subject would be crippled. However, with Sun Mo, they could repair the wrong spirit rune and continue with the experiments.
Many smooth and beautiful spirit lines appeared on Mei Yazhi’s skin. They looked simple, but they pierced through her muscles, connected to her energy channels, and finally imprinted themselves on her bones.
Normally, Sun Mo would slow down and strive to increase the aesthetics. However, since they were in a rush for time today, he could only focus on speed and give up on some minor details.
‘Wei Ziyou was shocked. Was this the true strength of a great ancestor-level spirit runist—no, the number one spirit runist in the Nine Provinces?
Sun Mo’s drawing process was fluid and natural, as if he was an examinee who knew the answers in advance and had them well-memorized.
For no reason, it would give people great confidence in him.
“And this kid’s serious expression is really handsome. No wonder Ziyu likes him.”
‘Wei Ziyou was a little jealous but also a little impressed. “Old Headmaster, you’re amazing to have found such an amazing grandson-in-law for Xinhui ahead of time.”
Most of the time, drawing spirit runes was done step by step, but there were exceptions.
This alchemy refinement not only had to follow fixed steps, but it also required Mei Yazhi to make appropriate adjustments on the spot, almost like cooking. There were many videos on the internet that taught people how to cook, but the ones made by the viewers according to their steps might not be
delicious.
‘There were many small details to pay attention to, including the control of the heat, the timing and amount of seasonings added, the stir-frying techniques, etc.
‘These were areas that were dependent on one’s experience.
Mei Yazhi did not know when a problem would occur, so when she discovered it and tried to solve it, she did not have the time to tell Sun Mo. This was what made Sun Mo the most nervous.
Fortunately, Sun Mo relied on his techniques to tide through it.
27 hours later, when Sun Mo drew the last stroke, with a boom, the entire spirit rune suddenly erupted with a brilliant light.
Mei Yazhi was not happy at all. Instead, she screamed in shock, “Teacher, protect the cauldron!”
Boom! Boom! Boom!
‘The surrounding spirit qi gathered and formed a huge tornado that went into Mei Yazhi’s body.
‘The wind pressure blew away the bottles and cans around them.
“Don’t worry about the cauldron! Absorb the spirit qi first to replenish your life force. Otherwise, you won’t be able to last until the pill is ready!”
Sun Mo let out a low bellow.
“Yazhi, listen to him!”
Wei Ziyou, who always let his disciple do as she pleased, also wore a serious expression on his face. “Otherwise, I’ll smash this cauldron.”
Mei Yazhi had no choice but to do as she was told. Then, she happily discovered that the spirit qi absorbed by these spirit runes was not only faster but also purer than the spirit qi she usually absorbed. The scariest thing was that they seemed to be able to replenish her origin life force.
‘When a cultivator was injured, they had to take tonics. Spirit qi alone could not repair their body. However, this spirit qi could repair her body like a rescue operation.
“So beautiful!”
Lu Zhiruo praised.
In order to maintain some etiquette, Sun Mo did not draw on Mei Yazhi’s face or neck. However, her body, including her arms and legs, were tattooed. They took up almost all her skin area.
“This is simply a work of art.”
Li Ziqi knew about body painting as a form of art through the Black-White Game. However, the one drawn by her teacher was even better-looking than what those artists had drawn.
Sun Mo was also very satisfied. Although he didn’t deliberately pursue beauty, as a grandmaster-level artist, given his beauty standards and capabilities, there was a limit to how badly he could draw something.
Mei Ziyu took a cloak and put it on her mother.
“Teacher Sun, thank you!”
‘Wei Ziyou was completely relieved. The more he looked at Sun Mo, the more he liked him. He only hated himself for not being a girl. Otherwise, he would have definitely wooed him.
“Ziyu, thank Sun Mo on my behalf!”
Mei Yazhi instructed. She really could not step away.
“All of you can leave. I’ll stay here with Aunt Mei.”
Sun Mo explained, “I still have to monitor the situation of the spirit rune on your body.”
Mei Yazhi did not insist.
Soon, only Sun Mo and Mei Yazhi were left in the alchemy room.
“Ican also take on some simple assistant work.”
Sun Mo took the initiative to share the responsibility.
“When did you become a grandmaster alchemist?”
With her body repaired, her condition in a better state, and a good chance of the alchemy being a success, Mei Yazhi was in a good mood. Hence, she couldn’t help but tease him.
“You have to be at least at this level to be my assistant!”
“Ljust didn’t go to get the certification.”
Sun Mo chuckled. Soon, he used his actions to prove that he wasn’t lying.
Mei Yazhi was stunned as she watched Sun Mo systematically complete all her arrangements.
(Why do you know everything? Are you still human?)
“Aunt Mei, stay focused!”
Sun Mo reminded her.
Following that, the two of them stopped chatting and threw themselves into the alchemy process. The more Mei Yazhi used Sun Mo, the more she felt that he was very useful.
It was to the extent that Sun Mo was also paying attention to the cauldron, and he could even check if there were any flaws. Although most of his opinions were useless, a few of them were quite helpful. At the very least, they could allow the pills’ grade to be higher.
(He’s even more useful than my two assistants that I have been working with for over ten years!)
Perhaps it was because she was in a good mood, but Mei Yazhi’s current state was similar to the zone in basketball. Everything was going smoothly, with every shot going in.
She was unstoppable.
In the last three days, Mei Yazhi was extremely inspired and started to take the initiative to change the steps on the alchemy prescription, as well as add some additional medicine based on their medicinal properties.
At this moment, Mei Yazhi was like a god, casually playing with her alchemy world.
On the 14th day’s evening, with a boom, the alchemy cauldron trembled intensely. Seething spirit qi seemed to be surging like a tide, gathering over.
Due to the excessive concentration, spirit qi light spots were constantly flickering.
“Sun Mo, I want to borrow some of your blood as an offering to the alchemical pill. Is that okay?”
Mei Yazhi pleaded.
Making an offering to the alchemical pill was a kind of ceremony that was done when the cauldron was opened. It was said that the more distinguished the identity of the owner of the blood, the higher the grade of the alchemical pill would be.
Of course, this was just a superstitious saying.
“How much do you need?”
Sun Mo was as strong as a prehistoric beast. It didn’t matter if he bled a little.
The seething spirit qi signified that the pills were about to form, and the cauldron was going to be opened. However, no one came to watch because Wei Ziyou had ordered the alchemy area to be sealed the day Mei Yazhi met with an accident. If Mei Yazhi didn’t come out, no one else was allowed to use the
alchemy rooms.
The spirit qi became a tornado that gushed into the alchemy cauldron. Without waiting for it to run out, Sun Mo cut the tip of his finger with a dagger and scattered his blood on it. All of a sudden, a seven-colored pillar of light pierced through the alchemy cauldron and soared into the sky, forming an
eye-catching sight..
