68: The rewards for the chapter are incredible!

"Stepmother, this isn't good..."

Fairy Suxin blushed, "Master, don't mess with the seniority. Just call me Senior Sister!"

Lin Mo: "..."

"Alright, it is our duty to make Long Country flourish."

He took the golden token, and the position of Sect Leader was now in his hands.

"Ah... he just went from being a student directly to a Sect Leader!?"

"How do I feel that Lin Mo wasn't aiming for the Sect Leader position? It's just that the principal changed her address to Senior Sister, planning to take her in as well, and that's why he nodded."

"Nonsense! Is Lin Mo like that kind of lecherous person?!"

"Lin Mo helped everyone bear the national disaster! A great hero, for the country and its people. Since he accepted the position of Sect Leader, he will surely continue to glorify our Long Country!"

"On the contrary, our principal is quite shrewd, having latched onto Lin Mo's coattails."

...Lin Mo waved his hand.

"Currently, the textbooks are complex, and learning them is extremely time-consuming and laborious. Bring me a pen..."

The Maoshan elders brought up the Kunlun stone ink slab, Xuan Tie wolf hair brush, and Thousand-Year Tear paper... Lin Mo, with a few swift strokes, following the incantations Tang Bao taught him, condensed the thousands of pages of textbooks into a few simple, thin pages of the original version.

"The first book, the key points of the Wall-Penetration Technique, is finally finished."

"Now to write the second book, Earth-Evasion Technique..."

At this moment.

Eight hundred Imperial Guards, in their clanking golden armor, cleared the way.

Son of Heaven Zhou, wearing his twelve-emblem ceremonial robe, sat in his jade carriage. The Grand Master of Ceremonies loudly announced, "The Son of Heaven arrives at Yong—"

The students were separated.

The school teachers and Maoshan elders immediately bowed.

"Greetings, Son of Heaven Zhou!"

Li Yunlong saw Son of Heaven Zhou arrive in person.

"Lin Mo has done so much, I thought you brat couldn't see it!"

Son of Heaven Zhou exited his carriage, telling everyone they didn't need to be so formal.

He wore a wry smile.

"I've been busy with official duties, truly unable to get away."

"But knowing that Lin Mo has once again fended off a calamity for our Long Country, even if I have no time, I must make time."

The officials from the Ministry of Rites prepared to remind Lin Mo, but Son of Heaven Zhou immediately refused.

How could he be rude to someone personally chosen by the First Emperor?

He came to Lin Mo's side and, seeing him busy, said nothing more.

He just quietly watched Lin Mo's vigorous and flowing brushstrokes, like iron hooks and silver paintings, with powerful and robust strokes, yet resembling a child's messy scribbles.

But upon closer inspection.

He was instantly astonished!

He quickly called out to the principal!

"What Lin Mo is writing, is it your academy's most important secret manual!!!"

Son of Heaven Zhou naturally knew all of Maoshan's skills and techniques.

He immediately recognized what Lin Mo was writing.

"This is the Wall-Penetration Technique teaching manual. All content has been simplified one by one, with key points emphasized. The original 3000-page dense manual is now only less than 10 pages, flowing freely!"

"Returning to simplicity!"

"Lin Mo, no, Sect Leader Lin! How did you do it!"

Lin Mo finished writing the last book.

He let out a long breath.

He bowed to Son of Heaven Zhou and said, "I finished reading the textbook that was distributed yesterday during dinner, it took me less than 30 minutes."

Son of Heaven Zhou blinked, unable to believe it.

He knew Lin Mo had a destiny, able to obtain the Immortal King.

He didn't expect his personal comprehension to be so heaven-defying.

Back then, it took Son of Heaven Zhou a full three years to comprehend and learn these skills.

And he personally dissected and summarized these key points, compiling them into the current skill textbooks of over 3000 pages each.

If one were to learn from the original, more obscure textbooks, even excellent students would struggle to fully grasp them in three, let alone nine or ten years.

Yet.

Such complex and difficult-to-learn material was effortlessly broken down by Lin Mo into a few thin pages, so that even someone who skimmed through it could immediately master it.

"Sect Leader Lin is truly a monumental figure in education!"

Son of Heaven Zhou praised him endlessly.

Immediately after, the officials from the Ministry of Rites began to announce Son of Heaven Zhou's rewards.

"Lin Mo! For his many contributions to the nation..."

Son of Heaven Zhou suddenly raised his hand to stop the Secretary of the Ministry of Rites' announcement. The dark ceremonial crown jingled in the strong wind:

"How can My rewards be so mundane! Bring forth the Map of Mountains and Rivers!"

Twelve golden-armored warriors carried a three-zhang long gilded scroll, which landed with a thud.

Son of Heaven Zhou, with fingers like a sword, cut his palm, and where the fresh blood soaked, the mountain and river veins of the entire Long Country appeared:

"From today onwards, the Demon Suppression Pass in the northern frontier is designated as Minister Lin's fiefdom! Within this domain, thirty-six spirit vein mines and seventy-two grotto-heaven dungeons all belong to Lin Mo's private property, and no taxes shall be levied for a hundred years."

Amidst the clamor of the officials, the Grand Marshal suddenly drew his tiger tally and slammed it heavily on the ground:

"Your Majesty! The Demon Suppression Pass is the first formidable pass against the demon race, how can it..."

"Silence! How can one be stingy with a meritorious minister!"

In fact, this place was just a border pass on the Great Wall, guarding against the fierce gods of the northern desert.

If Lin Mo were to oversee it, how much military expenditure could be saved each year?

Wouldn't it be better to use that money to increase the welfare of the common people?

This minister truly lacks foresight.

The Minister of Rites trembled as he unrolled the second imperial edict:

"Lin Mo is hereby granted the title of Martial Virtue Heavenly Master, with a peerage exceeding the first rank, hereditary and perpetual! He may freely take treasures from the national treasury!"

"Add two more!"

Son of Heaven Zhou abruptly cut him off, unbuckled the Zhanlu Sword from his waist, and slammed it onto the table:

"Whoever holds this sword is as if I am personally present. All disciples under Minister Lin shall not kneel before officials, shall not avoid the army, and shall not be inspected when passing through cities!"

As these terms were added one by one.

All the students were completely stunned... Holy cow, they originally thought Lin Mo was awesome, but didn't expect him to be this awesome, turns out he's super awesome.

This was like continuously eating croton beans, farting so loud it shakes the third floor, and finally shaking the 30th floor!

Each fart louder than the last, each fart smellier than the last.

"This time, Sakura Country actually used an avatar of destiny to attack our country. This grudge cannot go unavenged!"

Lin Mo turned the conversation to the main topic.

"No rush, we'll talk about it when we get back."

"Sect Leader Lin, could you bestow another piece of calligraphy?"

Son of Heaven Zhou was also a lover of art. Since Lin Mo's comprehension was so heaven-defying, his calligraphy and painting must also be at their peak.

Lin Mo chuckled.

He knew nothing about painting or calligraphy.

"Of course, of course."

He casually took out the [Immortal Suppressing Corpse Painting] drawn by Tang Bao from the coffin box and gave it to Son of Heaven Zhou.

Son of Heaven Zhou only glanced at it, and his pupils trembled uncontrollably.

"Add another one! Lin Mo is appointed as a Yangtze River Scholar, enjoying vice-national level treatment."

Then he said to his secretary, "Have this painting enlarged by an old master, and later replace the landscape painting at the State Guesthouse with it."

...Following Son of Heaven Zhou back to the palace.

Son of Heaven Zhou opened the national treasury, allowing Lin Mo to choose treasures at will.

He looked around but found nothing useful.

Lin Mo then took all the experience storage pills from inside.

Currently, he was under level 400.

His level could still increase by over 200 levels.

So he consumed them all in one go.

"Congratulations on leveling up! All attributes +3000. Current level: LV397."

..."Congratulations on leveling up! All attributes +30000. Current level: LV435."
