“You’re at the fifth level of Kaiyuan?”

Liu Wenyan, holding a teacup, sized up Su Yu for a moment, somewhat surprised.

He hadn’t sensed it clearly before, but now that his willpower had materialized, looking at Su Yu again, it was very obvious.

The nine apertures of Kaiyuan are invisible and imperceptible to ordinary people, but their Civilization Masters can clearly sense nine luminous points. Five of Su Yu’s points were lit, meaning he was at the fifth level of Kaiyuan.

“Yes.”

Su Yu nodded, “Yesterday I was still at the fourth level, but after Teacher Bai wrote out the ‘Kaiyuan Formula’ once, I felt like I had a thorough understanding of the nine apertures of Kaiyuan and directly entered the fifth level.”

“That’s your opportunity.”

Liu Wenyan didn’t doubt it, chuckling: “Bai Feng seems relaxed, but in reality, with his strength, writing the entire ‘Kaiyuan Formula’ consumes a great deal of willpower. If it weren’t for his deep foundation, even a seventh-level Soaring in the Sky would find it difficult to complete this technique.”

“In the Civilization Academy, instructors don’t easily write essays of willpower, because willpower consumption is too high, and recovery is difficult. They also need to nurture divine runes, so they are generally unwilling to expend a lot of willpower, which is why their courses are very expensive, and the students’ merit points are compensation for them.”

Liu Wenyan finished speaking and smiled: “Fifth level of Kaiyuan, it seems your talent in the way of the flesh is quite good.”

“However, the speed of Kaiyuan isn’t actually that important.”

Liu Wenyan really didn’t care too much about these things. The Kaiyuan realm, Kaiyuan geniuses, so what?

Even if you achieve Kaiyuan at the age of nine, what can you do?

The day a Civilization Master materializes is the day they soar into the sky. That is the huge difference.

“I didn’t ask you yesterday, did you kill that guy from the Ten Thousand Races Sect?”

“Yes.”

Su Yu didn’t deny it, nodding. In front of Liu Wenyan, he couldn’t be bothered to deny it.

“Not bad, you should act when you need to!”

Liu Wenyan chuckled: “You swallowed essence blood and unleashed your power to kill him, right?”

“Teacher, can you sense that?”

Su Yu was a little surprised.

“Of course, did you think you could hide it from a Civilization Master?”

Liu Wenyan laughed, then said seriously: “Your physical body is too weak. The Kaiyuan realm is not suitable for swallowing essence blood for cultivation, nor is it suitable for unleashing power by swallowing essence blood. You’re fooling around!”

“It was an expedient measure. At the time, you were in danger, and we teachers were negligent in protecting you, so I couldn’t say anything about you swallowing essence blood at that time.”

“But now, you are not allowed to swallow essence blood for cultivation again!”

Liu Wenyan said sternly: “Don’t sacrifice your entire life for a temporary acceleration of cultivation! Essence blood can strengthen the physical body and accelerate cultivation, but you haven’t completed Kaiyuan yet. At this time, the nine apertures are not open, and essence blood accumulates in the body. Do you know how much trouble that will cause?”

“When you reach the day of materialization, if too much essence blood from the Ten Thousand Races has accumulated in your body, when you recast your body, the essence blood will also have resistance and will clash, greatly weakening the strength of your body casting!”

Liu Wenyan’s tone was extremely serious. “Remember, you are not allowed to swallow essence blood for cultivation again. Don’t keep betting on an opportunity. Not every time will you be unscathed!”

“Understood!”

Su Yu quickly responded. He swallowed the essence blood, but it wasn’t actually swallowed by him, but absorbed by the illustrated book. Only a trace of the essence blood aura remained in his body.

Liu Wenyan only sensed this, and it actually had no effect on Su Yu at all.

Of course, there was no need to explain this in detail to Liu Wenyan.

“That’s good!”

Liu Wenyan’s smile returned. “There are still more than two months until the academy assessment. You have already been provisionally admitted, but that doesn’t mean you can waste these two months. Bai Feng said that you are considered a genius in Nanyuan, but just mediocre in Daxiafu. That’s not wrong.”

“But… that was before!”

Liu Wenyan smiled: “Before, I hadn’t materialized my willpower, and there were some things I couldn’t teach you, some things I couldn’t help you with, but now it’s different. For the next two months, you will mainly follow me in cultivation.”

Su Yu hesitated, thought for a while, and then whispered: “Teacher, just me alone?”

“Yes.”

“Teacher… my dad… isn’t he your long-lost son?”

“…”

Liu Wenyan was so amused he laughed!

“You want to be my grandson? I don’t want it!”

Liu Wenyan pointed his finger at him, and after a while, he laughed and said: “You, ah, don’t think too much. In Nanyuan, you and Liu Yue both have good talent, but Liu Yue has family to guide her, family to help her, and provide resources, so she is stronger than you now.”

“You, on the other hand, have nothing. Your father has also gone to the battlefield of the heavens. I’ve watched you grow up in the middle school for the past five years.”

“The teacher is not a completely fair and impartial selfless person. The others in the academy… strictly speaking, have limited futures. You may go further than them, and the human race… needs strong people.”

Liu Wenyan said bluntly, “Because I think you might become a strong person in the future, so I am willing to help you more within my power and let you go more smoothly. Of course, there is a premise that you are worthy of me being a little biased. If you are arrogant and self-righteous, the teacher will only watch silently and not say much.”

“Thank you, teacher!”

Su Yu thanked him, sincerely.

In the Nanyuan Middle School for five years, Liu Wenyan gave him a lot of help. Learning the language of the Ten Thousand Races, mastering eighteen languages, all of this is inseparable from Liu Wenyan’s help.

Five years, from a clueless teenager to now entering the Civilization Academy, Liu Wenyan played a very important role in it.

“No need to thank me. When you are really strong one day, remember… on the battlefield, kill more enemies. That’s the best reward for me!”

Liu Wenyan got up, dropped the topic, “Follow me, learn a few more languages of the Ten Thousand Races these days, and also increase your willpower. You are too weak now.”

Su Yu didn’t say anything, silently following Liu Wenyan out.

…………

Xia’s Commercial Firm.

Warehouse.

Accompanied by the manager of the firm, the two walked into a huge warehouse.

When he saw everything inside, Su Yu was stunned.

“Today is the first lesson: corpse identification!”

“This is the main warehouse of the Xia Clan Merchant Guild in Nanyuan. There are 132 demon corpses inside, most of which were killed on the battlefields of the heavens and dragged back directly without processing. Your task today is to stay inside for a day and identify the corpses!”

Liu Wenyan threw down a booklet, “Record their data: height, width, weight, number of bones…”

Su Yu was stunned, feeling vaguely nauseous.

The stench of blood was overwhelming!

Stay for a day?

“Go in. You’ll be alone in this place today. Of course, don’t mess with these demon corpses, they’re worth a lot. You can’t afford to pay for them.”

Liu Wenyan said, then added, “I want to see the data you’ve recorded tonight. Also, for unknown races, I want to see your own speculations. Even if you’re just guessing, write it down for me!”

“Teacher… am I alone?”

Su Yu looked bitter. It wasn’t that he was too afraid.

But such a large warehouse, such a strong smell of blood, leaving an eighteen-year-old kid here alone… is that really appropriate?

“Alone!”

Liu Wenyan said calmly, “Can’t you even handle this? On the battlefields of the heavens, soldiers sometimes have to lie in ambush in piles of corpses for days. If you can’t even endure this, you don’t need to go to the battlefields of the heavens, because you’ll just be going to your death.”

“I… understand!”

Su Yu didn’t say anything more. Alone it is, then. That’s good. There are many demon corpses here that he’s never seen before. Maybe he can find some of the monsters from his dreams.

“Close the door!”

Liu Wenyan left the warehouse. The next moment, the Xia Clan Merchant Guild staff directly closed the warehouse door, a very heavy metal door.

…………

Once the door was closed, the manager who hadn’t spoken earlier said with a smile, “Old Liu, is this your apprentice?”

“Yes.”

Liu Wenyan didn’t say much, and the manager didn’t ask further. That was obvious.

If he wasn’t an apprentice, Liu Wenyan wouldn’t have paid a huge price to have the Xia Clan Merchant Guild open its warehouse and allow a student to enter.

The Xia Clan Merchant Guild’s main warehouse isn’t open to just anyone.

“Old Liu, after all, he’s a newbie who hasn’t been to the battlefield, and he’s too young. After a day, I’m afraid he’ll have nightmares for days. Should we turn on the lights to make it easier for him?”

The lights inside were off, with only a few dim safety lights for illumination, making the warehouse even more eerie.

“No need. Civilization Masters often have to deal with corpses. If he can’t even get through this, how will he cope in the future?”

Liu Wenyan smiled and said, “Powerful Civilization Masters go directly to the battlefields of the heavens to capture gods and demons and bring them back for research. Since he wants to take this path, he must learn to get used to it.”

The manager smiled and didn’t respond. Civilization Master… it was too early to talk about that.

Too many people get stuck in the Nourishing Nature stage for life. Not everyone is called a Civilization Master.

And capturing gods and demons… how many people in the Great Xia Prefecture can do that?

Liu Wenyan was placing too much importance and expectation on this student.

Of course, he couldn’t refute Old Liu’s words. His willpower had materialized, so he could be considered a Civilization Master.

The Xia Clan Merchant Guild didn’t care about a newly promoted Civilization Master, but Liu Wenyan also had a junior brother who was a senior researcher at the Great Xia Civilization Academy, so they had to take him seriously. Anyway, he, a member of the Nanyuan Merchant Guild, couldn’t afford to offend them.

…………

“This is a Fire Boar, 3.1 meters tall, 7.2 meters long, specializes in spitting fire and ramming, a cannon fodder race from the battlefields of the heavens, mainly at the Thousand Jun realm…”

Looking at the huge corpse in front of him, Su Yu began to record.

Liu Wenyan thought he would be afraid, disgusted, and frightened, but in reality, Su Yu didn’t feel that terrified. It was just a bit pungent. The stench of blood in this warehouse was too strong, and he couldn’t stand it.

“As for the weight…”

Su Yu calculated the volume, recalled the density of Fire Boar meat, and the proportion of bones, and roughly estimated it to be between 20 and 25 tons.

That’s 40,000 to 50,000 catties!

That was the weight of a Fire Boar!

A terrifying size and weight. Therefore, even though Fire Boars, this cannon fodder race, are only at the Thousand Jun realm, their impact is frightening.

A Thousand Jun realm squad can easily be smashed to pieces by a Fire Boar’s charge if they aren’t prepared.

“Hmm?”

While calculating, Su Yu frowned slightly. The “Blood” character little brother in his mind was boiling.

“You want to suck blood?”

Su Yu grimaced, “This isn’t mine. Even though the essence blood has been extracted, the ordinary blood is still valuable. It’s bad to steal other people’s things, understand?”

Actually, these corpses had very little blood left.

The essence blood had been extracted, and the remaining ordinary blood wasn’t much. Most of it had merged into the essence blood.

But even if there was very little, it wasn’t his. The teacher brought him here to broaden his horizons. If he took something, Liu Wenyan would be held responsible, and that wouldn’t do.

“You can actually suck blood…” Su Yu muttered.

The “Blood” little brother seemed a bit displeased. It was a “Blood” character divine script. Wasn’t it normal to suck blood?

“Can sucking blood strengthen you?”

Su Yu wasn’t sure, but he couldn’t suck the blood here, or it would be difficult to explain.

“Don’t be restless. I’ll buy some myself when I have money. Ordinary blood isn’t very valuable.”

Last time, he bought a bottle of Iron Wing Bird’s ordinary blood, which cost 5,000 yuan. Of course, there wasn’t much of it.

In reality, buying in large quantities wouldn’t be expensive, and there would be big discounts.

The key was that no one would buy ordinary blood in large quantities, unless…

Su Yu’s eyes flickered. Essence blood was actually extracted from ordinary blood. Su Yu couldn’t help but mutter, “Little brother, can you extract essence blood?”

If he could, that would be a way to get rich.

Some Civilization Masters can extract essence blood, and the labor fee is quite high.

One drop of essence blood from the Thousand Jun realm, the Xia Clan Merchant Guild dares to sell for 50,000!

In fact, there’s not much cost. It’s mainly in storage, transportation, and extraction, plus personnel costs.
As for the costs themselves… going to the Battlefield of the Heavens, with 100,000 yuan, you can get the military to haul back dozens or even hundreds of ten-thousand-pound-level demon beasts. Those things are just trash in the Battlefield of the Heavens. The soldiers don’t even eat them; there are too many to finish.

The big costs are in the later stages: the expenses for refining essence blood and the transportation costs. It’s actually not cost-effective to transport ten-thousand-pound-level demon beasts back from the Battlefield of the Heavens unless it’s done in large quantities. Otherwise, you’ll lose 50,000 yuan.

Of course, the military also has Civilization Masters who refine the essence blood directly in the Battlefield of the Heavens, but generally, the essence blood from the ten-thousand-pound realm isn’t valuable enough for the Civilization Masters to bother with.

Su Yu didn’t quite understand these things before, but now that he knows about the existence of Civilization Masters and connects the dots, he understands most of it.

“The ‘Blood’ Character Divine Rune needs to absorb blood…”

Su Yu sighed. He felt like he was going to go bankrupt soon. If blood could nourish Divine Runes, wouldn’t he have to buy it?

He definitely would!

Nourishing Divine Runes is very important.

If his willpower isn’t enough, he’ll have to use other methods to nourish them. It looks like he’s going to be short on money in the future.

Su Yu amused himself alone in the warehouse, examining the corpses, sweating profusely.

These corpses were too heavy. As someone in the Opening Origin realm, he couldn’t even move them sometimes, let alone transport them.

Some were piled up together, and he had to move them bit by bit to see them clearly.

After a while, Su Yu was covered in bloodstains, becoming a bloody mess.

The “Blood” Character Divine Rune was throbbing even more violently, as if it wanted to come out and suck blood. Su Yu suppressed it, wondering if it wanted another beating.

…

It wasn’t until evening that the warehouse door opened and Su Yu was released.

Outside the door, Liu Wenyan saw his dirty appearance, and his notebook was filled with dense writing, revealing a smile.

Very good!

No complaints, no perfunctory work, very good.

“That’s it for today, continue tomorrow. Stay here for five days, and then we’ll change locations after five days.”

After Liu Wenyan finished speaking, he thought for a moment and added, “Before, Bai Feng taught you to try outlining Divine Runes. Of course, you can’t do that right now, but you can adapt to it in advance and give it a try.”

“Outlining Divine Runes consumes a lot of willpower. Actually, there’s a shortcut: outlining them with demon blood. Essence blood has its own willpower and vitality. First, outline Divine Runes with divine charm on the outside, and then outline them with willpower. This is the normal cultivation method for students in the Civilization Academy.”

“I didn’t teach you this before, but I will teach you now. Every five days, you can receive a drop of essence blood suitable for outlining Divine Runes from me, provided you complete your courses well!”

Su Yu was excited at first, but then said awkwardly, “Teacher, never mind, I don’t need it.”

It was impossible to expect the academy to reimburse him for this essence blood.

Clearly, Liu Wenyan would have to pay out of his own pocket. Even exchanging it at the academy would cost 1 merit point.

“I said if you complete the courses excellently. Did you think I’d give it to you for free?”

Liu Wenyan said irritably, “Do you think you can complete them easily? Maybe you’ll only get one drop in two months. What’s 1 merit point to me?”

Su Yu said sheepishly. He wanted to say that he had actually completed the outlining already, but there were people from the Xia Clan Business nearby, so Su Yu held back.

He’d see how it goes. Besides, his teacher was right; he might not be able to complete the tasks assigned to him.

If it weren’t for his habit of being killed in his dreams today, he probably wouldn’t have been able to bear so many corpses and such a strong bloody aura.

“Alright, go back and rest well tonight. You have heavy tasks lately. You can put the Opening Origin cultivation aside for now.”

“Okay, I know. Don’t worry, Teacher, it won’t be delayed.”

“…”

After a few exchanges, Su Yu went home, and Liu Wenyan returned to the academy.

…

Time passed day by day.

During the day, Su Yu studied with Liu Wenyan. At night, he also had heavy tasks: cultivating in the Opening Origin realm, observing the “Opening Origin Manual,” fighting in his dreams, and he also had to find time to learn the languages of the myriad races.

He also officially began observing and learning the bone fragments of the ten-thousand-pound realm. Although he couldn’t see them yet, each willpower confrontation was beneficial to his willpower improvement.

Bai Feng said to look at them a maximum of two times a day, but Su Yu… looked at them at least ten times a day.

He didn’t think there was anything wrong with it. Anyway, his head was a little swollen and painful each time he looked at them, but he recovered quickly, and it wasn’t a big deal.

Su Yu was too busy to deal with the “Blood” Character little brother wanting to absorb blood.

He would nourish it with willpower first, and then experiment slowly when he had more time.

In the blink of an eye, a month passed.

The time came to mid-May.
