Chapter 273: Purchasing the Institute | Wan Zu Zhi Jie [Trans]
Wan Zu Zhi Jie [Trans] - Updated on March 21, 2025
Time passed, day by day.
Su Yu disappeared from public view.
Even in Great Ming Manor, they heard Su Yu had entered Heavenly Capital Manor, but since the 1st, Su Yu had vanished, nowhere to be seen.
Mid-January marked the start of the university semester.
Many wondered if Su Yu would attend the university in mid-January.
Would he continue his studies?
Would he continue running his Yuan Qi Research Institute?
The rumored Su Yu was arrogant and ruthless, and many in Great Ming Manor wanted to see him, but no one could.
…
Heavenly Dao Garden.
Ten days.
Su Yu hadn’t left his house for ten days. These ten days were a time for him to settle down, understand Great Ming Manor, and familiarize himself with it. He was reading, cultivating, and learning everything about Great Ming Manor.
In ten days, he opened the remaining acupoints.
346!
At this moment, Su Yu had opened a total of 346 Yuan Qi acupoints and 114 Divine Qi acupoints.
All of this was thanks to the battles he had fought along the way, which made it easier for him to open and merge acupoints.
Myriad Stone Tier 9, Peak Nourishing Nature, Su Yu’s strength didn’t seem to have changed much.
On the top floor of the small building, Su Yu sat in a rattan chair, basking in the warm sun, continuing to read.
“The Chronicles of Great Ming Manor” was a very entertaining book.
As he was reading, someone came running noisily from afar.
Zhu Hongliang, just arriving downstairs, laughed and said, “Su Yu, school starts in a couple of days. The Eight Talents of Heavenly Capital are planning to hold a poetry and prose competition before school starts. Are you going?”
“No.”
Su Yu wasn’t interested, saying blandly, “Your Highness can go by yourself.”
A poetry and prose competition… it was actually an alternative Divine Script competition.
Not purely about romance and nature.
The Civilization Masters of Great Ming Manor were very playful. Some of them didn’t care about the characteristics of the Divine Script. It had to form a poem or a line. No matter what the characteristic was, if it could form a line, it was a good Divine Script.
Su Yu wasn’t interested!
These people’s poetry and prose competition didn’t compare strength, but who’s poetry and prose was more coherent and eye-catching.
They also had other competitions, like the Beast Tamer Competition, the Puppet Master Competition…
Many competitions!
Su Yu wasn’t interested in participating in these. He had his own pursuits.
“Don’t be like that, everyone is very curious about you. How about taking a walk with me? I already agreed…”
Su Yu glanced at him, making Zhu Hongliang feel a little embarrassed. Su Yu then said, “Your Highness, go have fun by yourself!”
“Then…”
Zhu Hongliang helplessly said, “Alright, you’re really boring. No wonder my eighth sister said you were dull, old-fashioned. We are young people after all.”
Su Yu smiled, ignoring him.
I am not you, and you are not me. You are not a fish, how would you know what a fish enjoys?
Zhu Hongliang left. Not long after, a figure flashed by. The next moment, he appeared in front of Su Yu. Su Yu stood up and bowed, “Greetings, Manor Lord!”
“Don’t be so polite!”
Zhu Tiandao sat in the chair opposite him, smiling and said, “Hongliang, that kid, is playful, but kind-hearted. Actually, he’s just like me…”
Su Yu was speechless.
Zhu Tiandao had three sons and two daughters. Each of his three sons had one child. His eldest son had Zhu Hongwen, who was now a Soaring Cloud Realm expert in his thirties.
His second son had Zhu Hongliang, and his third son had Zhu Qingyan.
However, Old Zhu seemed to prefer Zhu Hongliang. He had met his eldest grandson, Zhu Hongwen, once. He was a very refined person, but Old Zhu seemed not to like him very much, or maybe his way of teaching was different, not as amiable as with Zhu Hongliang.
The eldest grandson would likely inherit the position of Manor Lord, so it was understandable that Zhu Tiandao was stricter with Zhu Hongwen.
Soaring Cloud Realm at thirty-something was actually quite outstanding.
Zhu Tiandao didn’t mention Zhu Hongliang again, and smiled, “How are you considering the Research Institute? I don’t see any movement from you. You’ve been reading books these days.”
“Sharpening the axe doesn’t delay the work.”
Su Yu smiled and said, “These are just small matters. The Manor Lord is very busy, and yet you personally inquire, I’m truly guilty.”
“This is not a small matter!”
Zhu Tiandao smiled and said, “A big matter. And yourself, coming to Great Ming Manor for the first time, I think it’s best to make some friends. Being alone can be lonely. Qingyan and those kids organized the Heavenly Dao Association, you can actually join them for fun. Young people, don’t be too tense, relax. Being in Great Ming Manor, there’s no need to be the same as in Great Xia Manor.”
Su Yu nodded, “I will go when I have time.”
Zhu Tiandao was speechless. This kid was really serious at such a young age.
He had been in Great Ming Manor for so many days, and all he had done was cultivate in seclusion and read books.
Didn’t he find it boring?
Well, maybe people like that can go further. Great Xia Manor… I have to say, being strict with oneself is much better than Great Ming Manor.
Great Xia and Great Qin were both powerful Manors, and their people were extremely martial.
In those places, the strong were respected.
Great Ming Manor was also like that, but other people in Great Ming Manor also had a chance to stand out. One didn’t necessarily need to be strong.
“If you have time, you can still go and have fun. Also, have you looked at the list I gave you last time? If you want to build a Research Institute, you can meet these people. To be honest, their strength is average, and they’re too old, but I’m telling you, they are really knowledgeable!”
Su Yu nodded and smiled, “I will.”
“You kid… Why do I feel like you’ve become even more boring since you came to Great Ming Manor!”
Seeing this, Zhu Tiandao didn’t say anything more, stood up and said, “Then I won’t disturb you anymore. If you need anything, find Hongliang.”

“Thank you, Manor Lord!”
Zhu Tiandao smiled and disappeared in an instant.
Su Yu didn’t say much either, and continued reading.
He definitely had to pick people.
But they were all strangers, and some things, some matters, couldn’t be revealed completely.
He was now in the dark, didn’t understand anything, didn’t know anything. The matter of picking people wasn’t urgent.
Besides, a group of old men and women might not be willing to come to his side. Forced melons are not sweet.
“The research institute is important, but improving my own strength is even more important!”
“360 acupoints, can I really gather them all, can I really form a grand circulation?”
“Bai Tianhao…”
Su Yu flipped through the “Records of the Great Ming Prefecture” in front of him, which contained records of Bai Tianhao.
The founder of the Bai family!
He once killed a powerhouse in the Mountain and Sea realm with the strength of Lingyun level 9, very terrifying!
Bai Tianhao was also one of the strong men who followed King Da Ming to open up the Da Ming Prefecture.
However, Bai Tianhao also fell after that battle.
But the Bai family has been passed down!
Now the head of the Bai family is Bai Feng’s uncle, not in the Mountain and Sea realm, but only Lingyun level 9. But Bai Feng’s grandfather is still alive, which is a bit beyond Su Yu’s expectations. Bai Feng’s grandfather is a Mountain and Sea realm powerhouse!
However, the old man of the Bai family has not left seclusion for many years, and has been in seclusion, not sure if he is breaking through or doing something else.
Bai Feng’s father is still serving in the military, and Su Yu has not seen him.
As Bai Feng’s student, the Bai family should know about him.
But until today, no one from the Bai family has contacted him. Su Yu is not rushing to visit. He is not very clear about the situation of the Bai family. Who knows if his teacher has been abandoned by the Bai family.
“Yuanshen acupoint, Bai Tianhao…”
As he was thinking, the void fluctuated, and the shadow and the water man moved.
“Cough, we are on the same side!”
After a while, an old man appeared in the void, with a fairy-like demeanor and a very good appearance!
With silver-white long hair, a white beard, and wearing a white robe, he looked particularly immortal.
Su Yu’s eyes flickered, and he stood up and said, “Greetings, Dean Hu!”
“You know me?”
“Guessing!”
“Good eyesight!”
Hu Xiansheng!
Dean of the Divine Literature Academy of Da Ming Prefecture!
Hu Xiansheng said with a smile: “As expected of a young talent who is famous in the human realm, this temperament, this demeanor, is extraordinary!”
“Dean, you are too kind!”
Su Yu said with a smile, perfunctorily.
Hu Xiansheng!
What is he looking for me for?
Is he here to borrow money?
“Student Su, you have been here for some days. I have been busy these days and haven’t had time to welcome you…”
“Dean, you are joking, I should visit the Dean!”
Hu Xiansheng stroked his beard and said with a smile: “It’s okay, isn’t it just a few days before school starts? I see that Student Su hasn’t registered yet. When you first come, you still have to register.”
“Well, I know, I will go to handle it.”
“It’s okay, I have already handled it for you, it’s a small matter!”
Hu Xiansheng said with a smile, jokingly: “Don’t you invite me to sit down and chat?”
“Dean, please sit down!”
Su Yu was also helpless, what do you want to talk about, I have no money, don’t ask me to borrow money!
Hu Xiansheng ignored him and sat down, and said with a smile: “It’s like this, I heard that Student Su is preparing to build a Yuanshen Research Institute again. When I heard it, it’s a good thing! I have a huge research institute here. Building a new research institute takes too much time and requires a lot of money.”
“I thought about it, don’t waste this money. Student Su, why don’t you just invest in my research institute?”
“…”
Here it comes!
Su Yu was helpless in his heart, and said with a smile: “Dean, forget it, I’m just doing small things. I’ve heard people talk about the Dean’s research institute, and the research is too high-end.”
“Not high-end, not high-end, just so-so…”
Hu Xiansheng said excitedly: “My research institute has invested more than 2 million points of merit! If Student Su invests, how about I give you 30% of the shares for 400,000 points of merit?”
“Once the results come out, Student Su, think about it, it’s a space teleportation array!”
The old man was so excited at this moment, “Teleportation array! How long does it take you to travel to the capital of the Great Xia Prefecture? Three days! This is the minimum! Lingyun needs two days, Mountain and Sea needs one day, Sun and Moon needs half a day, even Invincible, it takes two or three hours!”
“It’s too time-consuming!”
“But, think about it, once there is a teleportation array, going to the capital of the Great Xia Prefecture, three seconds!”
Hu Xiansheng exclaimed: “Three seconds! Also, we have 6 entrances to the human realm to go to the battlefields of the heavens, but even the closest one, it takes three to five days to pass through the Great Ming Prefecture. They are distributed all over the world, but if there is a teleportation array, even if it cannot be transmitted all at once, it only takes tens of seconds, a minute is enough!”
“Is it expensive to charge you 100 points of merit for one transmission?”
Hu Xiansheng said with a smile: “Isn’t it expensive? And how many people flow in each prefecture of the human realm every day? I won’t say that all of them use the teleportation array. Even if 10,000 people use it a day, that’s a million points of merit! After deducting the cost and operating expenses, at least 300,000 points of merit are earned a day!”
“One day!”
Hu Xiansheng said excitedly: “This is still the human realm, 300,000 a day, and 100 million a year is the income, merit points!”
“And if it is applied to the battlefields of the heavens, my god, that’s amazing!”
Hu Xiansheng was shocked and said: “The military is probably ecstatic, and it is normal for us to give us tens of millions of authorized fees at one time…”

“…”
The dream is beautiful!
Su Yu didn’t take it seriously!
You old man, you play such a big business by yourself, I won’t accompany you.
Hu Xiansheng seemed to see what he meant, and said with a smile: “I know what you are thinking, did you hear something from someone and think I’m dreaming?”
“Hehe, I’m really not dreaming. I’m at least at the Mountain and Sea realm. Am I a fool?”
After saying that, he quickly took out two small portals.
He threw one to Su Yu and said with a smile, “Take it!”
Su Yu took the small portal, a little surprised.
The next moment, Hu Xiansheng took another portal and flew away, about 30 meters away.
“You are watching, don’t blink!”
Hu Xiansheng said excitedly: “Don’t blink!”
With that said, a small bottle appeared in his hand.
He put the bottle at the entrance of the small door, then opened the portal and stuffed the bottle into it!
Su Yu’s hand vibrated, and the next moment, his eyes flickered!
He quickly opened the door in his hand, and the next moment, a bottle appeared!
Su Yu suddenly looked up, looking at Hu Xiansheng over there!
Damn!
Teleportation?
Fixed-point teleportation!
Hu Xiansheng saw his shock and said with a smile, “How about it? Shocked, right! It’s not that I have no results, it’s just that the results are not enough. There are two problems now. First, it can’t be teleported over long distances, and second, it can’t teleport living things.”
“But research, it has to be done step by step, how can it be successful all at once!”
“Over the years, I’ve burned nearly a million merit points, but it’s not without results, is it?”
Hu Xiansheng smiled and said, “Some guys can’t stand to see me doing well, and they spread rumors about me all day long, saying that I’m wasting money. Am I wasting money?”
Hu Xiansheng said excitedly, “Once I succeed, the Multi-Divine Literature line of our Daming Prefecture will follow me to eat well and drink well! There are not many people in the Multi-Divine Literature line of Daming Prefecture now. Including me and you, there are 58 people in total!”
“When we make so much money, we can completely recruit 580 people, 5800 people…”
58 people!
Su Yu was not surprised. Zhu Tiandao said that there were only fifty or sixty people here.
At least it’s much stronger than Daxia Prefecture!
Moreover, the Multi-Divine Literature line can only be cultivated by geniuses, and they will be naturally limited. During the peak period of Daxia Prefecture, there were only dozens of Multi-Divine Literature experts above the Soaring Realm.
Su Yu was not in a hurry to talk about the teleportation array, and quickly said, “Dean, what is the strength of our Multi-Divine Literature line?”
“It’s okay!”
Hu Xiansheng coughed and said, “Besides you and me, there are 56 people, 4 in the Lingyun Realm, 8 in the Soaring Realm, and 44 in the Nourishing Nature Realm. Is that okay?”
Su Yu nodded. According to the number of people, this ratio is good.
1 Mountain and Sea Realm, and 4 Lingyun Realm experts!
But to be honest, added together, they are not enough for Hong Tan to beat with one hand. Daming Prefecture has not been targeted, I am afraid it is also related to its weak strength.
Daming Prefecture allocates 30,000 merit points per semester, and the average per person is 500 merit points.
Zhu Tiandao said there was no suppression, and Su Yu believed it. This allocation is not low.
With fewer people, you can’t ask for too much.
Su Yu said and looked at the teleportation gate in his hand again, thought about it and said, “Dean, I sensed it, this teleportation gate is well made, but the difficulties it may face are extremely many. The two points you said are only part of it. Also, this long-distance teleportation, how to ensure space stability, how to ensure that the space force cancellation will not crush the teleporter…”
Su Yu said calmly, “This bottle is specially made, and its hardness is comparable to that of a Ground-level weapon. Dean, don’t think I don’t understand. With such teleportation power, teleporting only 30 meters, this bottle is vibrating, and the space suppression force is too great. According to this situation, it is impossible to teleport without the Sun and Moon Realm, and the teleportation distance is not far…”
Hu Xiansheng was a little embarrassed.
Su Yu continued, “And I looked at it, the restriction is too big. Dean should have implanted positioning divine runes in the two gates. Dean is also willing to spend money, but who has so many positioning divine runes…”
Hu Xiansheng’s expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly said, “It doesn’t have to be divine runes, divine talismans are also fine, or let the strong implant willpower traction is also fine.”
Hu Xiansheng explained, “I just implanted divine runes for more convenient practice, which can be taken out at any time.”
Su Yu nodded, “That’s no problem. You can cooperate with the Divine Talisman line and implant divine talismans.”
Hu Xiansheng breathed a sigh of relief.
It’s good to understand!
Su Yu doesn’t seem to know nothing and can talk, but it’s not good to understand, it’s not good to fool.
With his own hand, he had fooled a lot of people before and borrowed a lot of money.
Unfortunately, it has been like this for several years. After demonstrating it many times, everyone knows it now, and there is no way to fool acquaintances.
Su Yu suddenly looked up at him and said, “Dean, how much funding and time do you think it will take to improve the teleportation array and truly achieve the purpose of teleporting people?”
Hu Xiansheng hesitated for a moment, but still said, “At least 5 million merit points, plus a hundred years…”
He hurriedly said, “But, everything is worth it! A hundred years is very long, but the human realm has been established for more than 300 years. If it had been researched earlier, maybe there would have been results long ago! Everyone is just not attentive, which has led to such a large human realm without a teleportation array until now.”
“Do the myriad races have it?”
“Yes!”
Hu Xiansheng quickly said, “The God and Demon races have it. Of course, the cost is too high, using Void Stones as the base, with the Invincible sitting in town. Our research is different from theirs, and the teleportation array of the God and Demon races is not suitable for us. Everyone’s routes are completely different. They can’t build a teleportation array on the battlefield of the heavens, they can only build it in the stable God and Demon interface.”
Su Yu was surprised, the God and Demon races have it?
But after thinking about it, it’s normal. The development of the God and Demon races has not been hundreds of years, but thousands or tens of thousands of years!
There are many human experts, but in terms of background, they are still far behind.
Hu Xiansheng quickly said, “400,000 merit points, Su Yu, 30% of the shares, really, it’s very cost-effective!”
“No money.”
“How could it be? The Prefecture Lord killed so many people, didn’t you take away the merit card?”
“Daxia Prefecture froze it!”
“Damn!”
Hu Xiansheng suddenly cursed, “Xia Xiaoer is really not a human being, freezing it like this. So, you really have no money? That’s not right, didn’t you have someone exchange a lot of merit points? There are also tens of thousands of points, tens of thousands of points can also be invested…”
Su Yu smiled and said, “I have to build a research institute.”
“Then… didn’t the Prefecture Lord promise to build one for you?”
“I have to buy some things I need.”
Hu Xiansheng was anxious, “Don’t, like this, don’t invest, my research institute is very big, a total of 6 floors, I will rent three floors to you, a year’s rent is 10,000 merit points, pay one deposit and pay three, give 40,000 merit points, use it for three years first… I have high-end instruments, Sun and Moon formation, and first-class protection!”
Su Yu calmly said, “Dean, you should think about what to do with the students when the Da Ming Prefecture’s funding runs out next semester! Also, in two months, the academy will be taken over, and you will only be able to disband the Multiple Divine Script system. The Da Ming Prefecture’s Multiple Divine Script system has been ruined by you. It’s really helpless.”
Hu Xiansheng was speechless. “You know?”
“I know.”
“…”
No words were spoken.
Hu Xiansheng was also dejected. At this moment, this expert of the seventh level of the Mountain and Sea realm was extremely frustrated. “I originally thought that I could complete it in a few decades! Speaking of which, it’s a bit related to the Fifth Generation of your Great Xia Prefecture. He supported me back then, thinking that my goals were ambitious and my ideas were good. The geniuses of the Multiple Divine Script system should do such earth-shattering things…”
“Who knew… sigh!”
With a sigh, Hu Xiansheng said helplessly, “Why don’t you lend me tens of thousands of merit points? The semester is about to start, and the students can’t be left without food! Outlining divine scripts requires Willpower Runes, and improving Willpower also requires absorbing Willpower. Tempering the body also requires essence blood and vitality…”
Everything costs money!
He had no choice, it was too miserable.
Su Yu didn’t waste any words and said directly, “I’ll inspect the research institute. If it meets my expectations, I’m willing to spend money to buy it!”
Su Yu smiled, “Prefect Zhu is willing to support me, but I hope that some things are my own and don’t require outsiders to interfere!”
“I calculated for the Dean that you owe 220,000 merit points, and the academy is mortgaged for 100,000 merit points. The students need 30,000 merit points this semester, totaling 350,000 merit points! If the Dean’s research institute meets my expectations, I’m willing to spend 350,000 merit points to buy it!”
Su Yu smiled, “This is not a small amount. With 350,000 merit points, I can buy a top-notch research institute anywhere.”
“You… are taking advantage of my misfortune!”
Hu Xiansheng was exasperated. “350,000 merit points? Not to mention anything else, my research institute has three sets of grand formations, all Sun and Moon level formations! One to defend against Willpower intrusion, one to resist Sun and Moon exploration, and another Sun and Moon offensive formation. The value of these alone exceeds 150,000 merit points!”
“Also, my research institute is not an ordinary building. Just take the floor, it’s cast from Profound Yellow Iron. Even if a Soaring Cloud battle breaks out, it won’t be breached for a while!”
“Some of my laboratories are top-notch, including the space cutting room… those are things that money can’t buy!”
“Even if I dismantle it and sell it, I can sell it for hundreds of thousands of merit points!”
Su Yu smiled, “Then the Dean can dismantle it and sell it!”
“You…”
Hu Xiansheng was speechless, “Didn’t you say you don’t have money?”
“I can borrow it.”
Su Yu smiled, “If not, I’ll sell some things. If that doesn’t work, I’ll go to the Xia family and have them completely buy out all my Acupoint Harmonization Method. Before, I was talking about getting 1 merit point for every copy that was spread, but now I don’t have money, but that doesn’t mean I can’t borrow money.”
Hu Xiansheng was depressed, looking at him resentfully for a long time before saying, “You’re too black-hearted. You’re buying me out for 350,000 merit points. After I pay off my debts, wouldn’t all these years be for nothing?”
Too miserable!
Su Yu smiled, “Dean, it’s better than being forced to not be able to go out. I’m not seizing your research results. You can take away the information about the space teleportation array, but not the others. When you have the strength, you can continue to research. When you have the capital, you can do it anytime!”
I just want your research institute!
In the past few days, he also asked Chief Steward Xie. It must be said that Hu Xiansheng really spent money generously.
Even a Sun and Moon realm expert couldn’t break into his research institute for a while!
As Hu Xiansheng said, they were all cutting-edge instruments, the top kind.
For example, the space cutting room he mentioned, building that would cost no less than 70,000 or 80,000 merit points. Being able to cut space within it involved some Invincible realms.
This research institute was much more high-end than the Wen Tan Research Center.
Su Yu was wondering why Bai Feng chose to go to the Great Xia Prefecture. In fact, the Da Ming Prefecture was really good. At least the research facilities and equipment were more high-end and complete than those in the Great Xia Prefecture.
Hu Xiansheng was somewhat resentful, “I could sell it to someone else for 500,000!”
Su Yu smiled, “Not many people are willing to buy it. Almost all the experts in the Da Ming Prefecture have their own research institutes. The weak don’t have them, and they can’t afford to buy them even if they want to! Your research institute is, frankly speaking, a bit of a burden! It’s too high-end. Unless you’re researching some top secrets, there’s no need to use such a high-end research institute.”

Yes!
Hu Xiansheng said helplessly, “You’re right.”
Those with money don’t need it, those without money can’t afford it, and it’s too top-notch. Hundreds of thousands of merit points, who would buy it!
Who wants this thing!
“Then if you buy it, won’t you lose money?”
Su Yu smiled, “It’s okay, I mainly research cultivation techniques. A set of highly adaptable cultivation techniques will pay for itself and earn a lot more.”
“Like the Acupoint Harmonization Method?”
“Something like that!”
“…”
Hu Xiansheng was extremely resentful, “The Acupoint Harmonization Method is out, are you still going to create a Divine Harmonization Method?”
“We’ll see.”
“Why don’t I invest in your project?” Hu Xiansheng said with a dry smile, “Invest with the research institute, we split it 60/40… I get 60 and you get 40… If that doesn’t work, how about 50/50?”
“Not interested.”
“Don’t be like that, then… 40/60 is fine too!”
Su Yu smiled, “Forget it, Dean, I won’t buy it. I’ll build one myself later.”
“…”
Hu Xiansheng was too depressed, feeling reluctant. After thinking for a while, he said, “Like this, I can sell it to you, but we have to add a clause. If I have money, I can buy it back at the original price!”
“Okay, but not within 10 years!”
Su Yu smiled, “Otherwise, I’ll move in today, and you’ll come to redeem it tomorrow, wouldn’t I be unlucky?”
“10 years… is fine too!”
10 years is not a long time, moreover, he may not save so many merit points in 10 years.
Hu Xiansheng was somewhat dejected and disappointed, “I came to get you to invest, but… in the end, I sold the research institute. If I die… I won’t be able to face my old friends!”
Sold it!
After decades of research, he had to seal it up.
He had no choice but to seal it up!
It cost too much, but there was no significant progress. Now, he had reached the end of his rope.
Originally, he thought that Su Yu, being from the multi-divine text lineage, might sponsor him a bit.
But he realized he was thinking too much.
The guy was too shrewd!
He knew exactly how much he owed. This kid had been eyeing him for a long time!
Just enough to pay off his debts!
After paying off his debts, he was penniless. He had no capital to start a new research institute.
The Great Ming Prefecture had supported him a lot. If he tried again, the Zhu family probably wouldn’t shell out any more money.
“Alas!”
With a sigh, Hu Xiansheng looked a little lost. His energy and spirit were gone. Su Yu knew the old man was pretending to be pitiful before, but at this moment, he was probably genuinely sad.
Just like the Wen Tan Research Center, when the academy was about to close it down, Bai Feng refused to agree no matter what.
When the academy stopped supporting the research institute, Hong Tan personally went to the Battlefield of the Heavens to kill demons and capture them to sell their blood, all to keep the research institute running.
Unfortunately, this Dean Hu might not have the ability to do that.
Even if he did, this research institute would burn through money even faster.
He couldn’t afford it!
Hu Xiansheng was lost for a while, then quickly said, “Su Yu, you are also a student of the multi-divine text lineage. Although you are from the Great Xia Prefecture, all multi-divine text practitioners are one family. Nowadays, there aren’t many multi-divine text practitioners in the various prefectures. Look, if you start a research institute, could you recruit some multi-divine text students to do odd jobs? Times are tough!”
Su Yu smiled, “It depends on the situation. If I need it, I will!”
He didn’t give a promise.
“All multi-divine text practitioners are one family” was just a saying. Su Yu didn’t have feelings for the multi-divine text lineage as a whole, but for the few practitioners he knew.
“Alright then!”
Hu Xiansheng didn’t say anything more. “When are you going to take a look?”
“In a couple of days. Dean, move anything you need to move first, so that when I arrive, I don’t confiscate everything. Of course, some important things can’t be taken away, otherwise I wouldn’t have spent so much to buy it!”
“Okay, then!”
Hu Xiansheng was even more disheartened. My research institute, it’s gone!
From now on, there would only be the Yuanshen Research Institute.
As he was about to leave, Hu Xiansheng remembered something and said, “Oh, right, I almost forgot. You are now a junior researcher, so you have obligations. Even if you don’t have students, you may still have to teach a class. What about your side…”
Teach a class?
Su Yu was slightly stunned. I have to teach a class?
“Teach a class… Okay, I understand. Thank you for the reminder, Dean.”
What can I teach?
My knowledge is not enough, not as good as the old students. Of course, that’s just in some aspects. Otherwise, in terms of cultivation techniques and knowledge, Su Yu can be called top-notch. Even ordinary Lingyun might not have as much knowledge as him.
If it really doesn’t work, I can just open a class and talk about the knowledge of opening divine apertures. That’s enough. Su Yu wasn’t feeling guilty.
Seeing that he agreed so readily, Hu Xiansheng didn’t say anything more and quickly disappeared.
As he left, he sighed, wishing Su Yu would call him back and say he was just joking, and that he was willing to give him hundreds of thousands of merit points… Well, he was clearly disappointed.
Su Yu had no intention of doing that at all!
After he left, Su Yu chuckled, a small fur ball appeared in his hand. He pinched it and smiled, “Good luck, that research institute is a good place!”
Even for Sun and Moon realm experts, it takes time to break through.
350,000 merit points, it’s not a loss, it’s a good deal. It’s good that I bought it myself, so I don’t owe the Zhu family too much, although I already owe them a lot after the Xingluo Mountain battle.
