Chapter 119 The Tricked Taishang Laojun (Part Three)
But what happened next made Taishang Laojun lose his gratitude to Erlang Shen.
If it wasn't for the signature, if it wasn't for the dean, if it wasn't for the portable space, Taishang Laojun would have wanted to just shake his sleeves and leave!
Why do you say you can only teach for one month in a year? That's all a lie!
But this cannot be blamed on others, because who made Taishang Laojun fall into someone else's trap like this?
Taishang Laojun sat behind the podium with an alchemy furnace in front of him. Looking at the students below, each of whom had an alchemy furnace in front of him, he shouted angrily, "What are you daydreaming about? Watch the furnace! If you blow up the furnace again! Get out of here and stand against the wall!"
The story begins with our visit to the Back Garden that day.
Taishang Laojun had just finished visiting the back garden and was very enthusiastic about Erlang Shen.
Gradually, his heart was filled with gratitude towards Erlang Shen.
Erlang Shen is a good man, no, he is not a man, he is a good god!
Knowing that West Lake College was short of teachers, he was the first one called and even gave away a 100,000-year-old Snow Ganoderma for free. However, when he was called, there was an even bigger surprise waiting for him.
According to the time acceleration of this portable space, I believe that in a short time, the herbs planted at the beginning will evolve into magical herbs. And before long, a 100,000-year-old snow ganoderma will be nothing. A large piece of it! He can even use it to make soup!
Taishang Laojun was very happy. Now he was a teacher at West Lake College, so he could use these herbs freely!
Long Pinxuan looked at Taishang Laojun's expression and could tell what he was thinking. "Is Laojun satisfied with this herb?"
Taishang Laojun stroked his beard and said, "Satisfied! Satisfied!"
Long Pinxuan nodded, "Since Laojun has agreed to become a teacher in the academy, he naturally knows the rules of our academy. As a teacher in the academy, he will naturally receive a certain amount of subsidies, especially the materials needed for teaching. Basically, the academy will support him if he can, and provide food and accommodation. If Laojun wants to go to Hangzhou, we will also cover the expenses for going out!"
Taishang Laojun felt relieved after hearing these words. It seemed that this was what Erlang Shen said. This treatment was really good.
"But!" Long Pinxuan continued, "Laojun also has to fulfill his duties! What is a teacher's duty? To teach!"
Long Pinxuan pointed at Erlang Shen and said, "Look at Erlang Zhenjun, also known as Teacher Yang. He teaches in our college. He teaches from morning till night, and sometimes for several days and nights. He is very popular among the students."
Taishang Laojun looked at Erlang Shen, somewhat surprised. Yang Jian was so dedicated! It was amazing!
Long Pinxuan's praise continued, "Moreover, Teacher Yang also has spell instruction classes from time to time, various weapons application and instruction classes, etc. There are many special types of classes."
Taishang Laojun raised his thumbs up, "Erlang Zhenjun is doing his duty!"
"Yes, so, Laojun, you also want to be like Erlang Zhenjun..."
When Taishang Laojun heard this, his eyes almost popped out? What? Same as Erlang Shen?
Working without sleep for days and nights, teaching students every day?
No, he won’t do it!
Isn't this just torturing people? No, it's torturing the gods!
Long Pinxuan glanced at Taishang Laojun, and the meaningful look in his eyes made Taishang Laojun swallow the word "I won't do it" that was about to come out of his mouth.
"However, there is no need for Laojun to be like Erlang Zhenjun, staying up all day and night. This is too exaggerated!"
Long Pinxuan's next words actually made Taishang Laojun breathe a sigh of relief. He nodded repeatedly with a slight smile on his face.
It seems that the dean is still very good. He doesn't treat him like an animal like Erlang Shen. Bah, Erlang Shen is the god of war. How can an old man like him handle it?
But being a teacher does require some responsibility, and Laojun is not someone who fails to teach well. At most, he can teach his students more of the special skills of alchemy!
Long Pinxuan continued calmly, "So if we count based on 24 hours a day, if Erlang Zhenjun teaches 24 hours a day, then Laojun will probably need three or four days to complete the teaching. If Laojun needs to use the herbs here to refine some pills in the middle, this time cannot be counted as teaching students! So if Erlang Zhenjun teaches for one month, Laojun will have to teach for at least three or four months."
"But it is impossible for Laojun not to rest. So if we count 28 days in a month, 7 days in a week, and 5 days of classes in a week, then there are 20 days of classes in a month, which is only 5 days for Erlang Zhenjun to teach. In other words, if Erlang Zhenjun teaches for 5 days, Laojun will teach for one month. So if Erlang Zhenjun teaches for one month, Laojun will teach for 6 months."
"Of course, during this teaching period, the time Laojun spent refining the elixir must also be added. If refining the elixir took two months, then the teaching time will naturally be extended to eight months!"
"However, all the herbs that Laojun uses during the course can be used freely in this back garden, but after the course period, they cannot be used anymore."
"By the way, these herbs can only be used by Laojun to refine pills for students, or to teach students how to refine pills. The refined pills can only be given to people in West Lake Academy, and cannot be given to people outside of West Lake Academy at will. After all, these are also the property of our West Lake Academy. Of course, Laojun himself will definitely not look down on the elixirs of the mortal world, and will not take more, right?"
After Long Pinxuan finished talking endlessly, Taishang Laojun was left standing there in astonishment, counting on his fingers, "Erlang Zhenjun taught for one month, and I have to teach for six months? What the hell? And I can't even refute it?"
Erlang Shen listened to Long Pinxuan's words silently and patted Taishang Laojun on the shoulder. "Actually, if Laojun was like me, sleeping less and teaching more, it would be about the same time..."
Taishang Laojun jumped up and down, "Bullshit, how can my old bones withstand such... ahem... Besides! I have to make elixirs. If I make elixirs once, the teaching time will be postponed, so... "
Huh? Taishang Laojun suddenly came up with a good idea.
If he spent several months refining the elixir at a time, then wouldn't this year have passed immediately? He didn't spend much time teaching!
Taishang Laojun couldn't help but praise his own wit!
You know, with so many herbs in front of you, wouldn’t it be a pity not to make elixir from them?
Besides, the signature has been signed!
Taishang Laojun was finally happy that he had found the loophole, and naturally agreed to Long Pinxuan's request. After all, there are policies from the top and countermeasures from the bottom!
The result was that he jumped into this big pit willingly.
Taishang Laojun was sitting behind the podium, watching another student getting distracted!
"You! Stand up and go stand in the corner! Yes! It's you! So what if you don't have the talent for alchemy! Hard work can make up for lack of talent, don't you know? Everyone can learn to make alchemy, it's just a matter of learning fast or slow! Give me some reflections!"
The student stood in the corner with a miserable look on his face. God knew that he, a student with water attribute, was being supervised to refine pills with fire attribute. It was impossible for him to make such a successful pill!
