Downstairs shop.

Comforters, towels, brooms, toothbrushes, toothpaste…

After buying everything and settling the bill, the price makes your heart ache.

Almost 3000 yuan!

Su Yu, who already didn’t have much left, suddenly only had 2000 yuan left.

He still bought ordinary things; if he really bought expensive ones, it would take more than a few merit points to cover it.

After Su Yu finished buying his things, Xia Huyu was also wandering around in the shop.

When Su Yu was done, Xia Huyu greeted the boss, “Later, send a copy of what I say to each of those room numbers.”

“Okay!”

The boss readily agreed, smiling and saying, “A total of 28 copies, I’ve remembered it!”

Su Yu glanced at Xia Huyu; this guy had just placed a bulk order.

Buying 28 copies at once, the boss even gave a discount.

After all, there’s more than one shop here; there are 3 shops in the Cultivation Garden.

“Help send his stuff up too…”

Xia Huyu pointed at Su Yu, smiling, “I won’t charge you a purchasing fee. Don’t be so wary, classmate Su Yu. It’s good to have friends when you’re out; why reject people so coldly?”

“No need, I can take it up myself.”

“Not eating? You’ll have to come downstairs later anyway!”

Xia Huyu laughed, “You’re probably not familiar with this place, right? If you eat alone and can’t find a place, you’ll be ripped off even more.”

Su Yu was still a bit wary, but didn’t say anything more. He left the shop, pretending to be casual, “You’re very familiar with this place?”

“Not bad, I’ve been here a few times before.”

Xia Huyu smiled innocently, “I’m still a collateral branch of the Xia family. There are still a few people from my family studying here, so I’ve come here a few times to play.”

“Aren’t you busy?”

Su Yu asked again; why was this guy always following him?

“Not busy, it’s lunchtime, gotta eat. Work-life balance, can’t just keep making money, right?”

Xia Huyu saw his expression and laughed, “Don’t worry, there’s no such thing as a free lunch. Upper-class students, everyone builds relationships. I told you, it’s good to have friends.”

“There are a total of 1892 students in the academy this year, 145 upper-class students, of which 26 are top-tier, 23 in the advanced area, two in the special area, and just you in our ordinary area. It’s normal to try and get close.”

Xia Huyu said with a chuckle, “There’s no such thing as unmotivated love, so rest assured, I won’t do anything to you. We’re classmates, so I’ll befriend someone talented; maybe I can benefit in the future. We businessmen like to gamble on dark horses. You’re a dark horse now, and lighting a fire won’t cost much.”

Su Yu was amused by him, and Xia Huyu said again, “I don’t have great abilities, but I have a few advantages that you might find useful. First, I have a wide range of sources, so you can ask me if you don’t know something. General information is free, important information costs a little money.”

“Second, my family also does business, so you can buy things from me that you can’t buy at the academy.”

“Third, you can trade merit points with me; my prices are fair and much safer than the black market.”

“Fourth, my family also lends money; the interest isn’t too high. You can come to me if you need money or merit points, provided you’re worth the price.”

Xia Huyu smiled brightly, “So you should understand why I want to befriend you, right? A genius who succeeds in business is a big business! Those mediocre people have to pinch pennies even when buying vitality fluid, and it takes them a long time. But geniuses are different; they dare to buy god and demon essence blood!”

Xia Huyu clicked his tongue, “A drop of god and demon essence blood in the soaring realm can sell for 1000 merit points on the black market, which is ridiculously high! Some wealthy guys buy more than just one drop at a time, often buying dozens of drops, worth tens of thousands of merit points!”

“That’s a big deal!”

Xia Huyu looked at Su Yu, smiling even more brightly, “You’re a genius. How long will it take you to soar? Do you need god and demon essence blood to forge your body? Do you want to buy it? If you want to buy it, the academy has limits and merit point level restrictions. If you come to me… hehe, then it’ll be a big deal!”

Su Yu was surprised, “You can even trade god and demon essence blood?”

“Cough cough…” Xia Huyu laughed, “Not now, I don’t have the qualifications. But don’t worry, you’ll need time to soar, right? Maybe I’ll have the qualifications by then. Even if I don’t, I can introduce you to someone and charge a referral fee. The Xia family can do this business.”

Xia Huyu laughed, “Ordinary people can’t, but if someone guarantees you, then it’s no problem! As long as you, Su Yu, aren’t a beast from the Ten Thousand Races Sect, then it’s not a big problem.”

Su Yu had to take a higher look at him!

He seemed like a capable person!

A collateral branch of the Xia family… even further collateral, they’re still Xia people. In the Great Xia Prefecture, the Xia family is the true king, not an uncrowned king, but a crowned one!

Su Yu didn’t dislike him; the guy was frank, which gave him a sense of trustworthiness.

“You just said that there are 145 upper-class students in the academy. How many monstrous geniuses are there?”

“This…”

Xia Huyu smiled, “It’s confidential, and even the academy won’t reveal it to the public unless they expose themselves. Of course, I have wide connections, so I know a little, but it costs money.”

“How much?”

“Not talking about money, merit points, 50 points!”

Xia Huyu laughed, “Don’t think it’s expensive. To put it bluntly, selling this information to the Ten Thousand Races Sect can easily get you a thousand merit points! Of course, whoever does this will die! But you also understand that this information is very important, at least before they soar, this information is still valuable.”

Su Yu nodded slightly, “Can’t afford it, never mind.”

“Don’t!”

Xia Huyu laughed, “I can tell you the approximate number, it should be 8, I’m just saying should, I don’t really know the specifics. But if you want to know their names, strengths, backgrounds, divine runes, characteristics… then you really have to pay!”

Su Yu nodded, thought for a while and said, “Can I ask a few more questions?”

“Ask, unimportant news is easy to say.”

“Before I came, Assistant Bai Feng said he wanted to take me as a disciple. Do you think it’s appropriate for me to join Teacher Bai Feng’s sect?”

“This…”

Xia Huyou said awkwardly, “It’s hard to say, I know about your situation. It depends on what you think.”

Su Yu calmly said, “I don’t think much, I just want to ask, how much help can he provide me? Also, Zhao Li, the teacher from the weapon forging department, said the same thing. I want to compare and see who is more worthy of me joining?”

“…”

Xia Huyou looked at him in surprise, “Researcher Zhao also wants to take you in?”

“Yes.”

“Then… you really have some skills!”

Xia Huyou gave him a thumbs up, “That old man hasn’t taken in any students for a long time. Don’t look at his average strength, he has a bad temper, and he’s one of the pillars of the weapon forging department, so his status is not low.”

Xia Huyou hesitated for a moment and said, “Since you asked, I’ll briefly talk about what I know.”

“Bai Feng’s strength is not considered strong, at least not to the older generation. His talent is strong, that’s his business, it has nothing to do with you. Bai Feng’s line doesn’t have many resources either. The strongest should be Bai Feng’s teacher, Grandmaster Hong!”

“However, Bai Feng’s line might be more suitable for you…” Xia Huyou explained, “Their line focuses on the fusion of divine runes, with divine runes as the main focus, and they are not limited to a single divine rune. The fusion of divine runes is also very powerful!”

“Not only that, but their line also attaches great importance to physical cultivation. They have strong combat power even in the nurturing stage, because they have many divine runes, so the requirements for the physical body are quite high…”

Su Yu frowned slightly. Is that so?

Teacher Liu should also be from this line, but he didn’t seem to have a very strong physical body. He was still in the Thousand Jun realm before.

He didn’t interrupt, and Xia Huyou continued, “But the most important thing about their line is not these, but a project that Grandmaster Hong has been researching for many years, which is to develop some special abilities of the human race… You don’t understand now, but I don’t know too much about it either, you’ll know later.”

Xia Huyou whispered, “Assistant Bai Feng is only at the seventh level of Soaring, but even Xia Yuwen from the Xia family said that that guy… is troublesome! He’s been hiding his trump card, which may be related to Grandmaster Hong’s research project. Once it’s exposed, this guy has a chance to compete with Xia Yuwen!”

“If you choose their line, you may get great benefits, but of course, you may also get nothing.”

Xia Huyou said, smiling, “But I think you don’t really have much of a choice. Teacher Zhao’s side is also good, but for others… unless you go to the Pill Refinement department, it’s better to become Bai Feng’s disciple. Your enlightenment teacher is Grandmaster Liu Wenyuan. If you don’t have talent, then it’s nothing. If you have talent, then you are Grandmaster Liu’s disciple. If you come here and don’t join Bai Feng’s group, there will be some trouble.”

Su Yu let out a soft breath and said in a low voice, “Grandmaster Liu… Was Teacher Liu very famous in the Great Xia Civilization Academy back then?”

“Kind of.”

Xia Huyou smiled, “I really don’t know the specifics, I only know some rumors. Anyway, Grandmaster Liu didn’t get along with many people at the academy back then, and those people are now in high positions! Think about it, it’s been fifty years! How many changes have happened in that time!”

“The current Academy Head Wan, and Vice Academy Head Zhou, I heard that they didn’t get along with Grandmaster Liu back then.”

Su Yu frowned, nodded, didn’t ask any further questions, and said, “What about Teacher Zhao Li’s side?”

“Weapon forging department…” Xia Huyou pondered for a while and said, “To be honest, it’s quite suitable for you. Teacher Zhao has a protective personality, and the weapon forging department doesn’t lack resources, at least for middle and lower-level students, there are enough resources, but the prospects are limited. In the academy, the weapon forging department only has one Mountain and Sea realm expert, and he hasn’t come out of seclusion for many years.”

“If you are a middle-level student, or upper or lower-level, I would recommend you to find Teacher Zhao, but since you are a top-level student, I still suggest you find Assistant Bai Feng.”

Xia Huyou said seriously, “Of course, this is just my personal suggestion! I’ve only heard my family mention it a few times, so I only know this much, I don’t know more.”

Su Yu nodded and thanked him.

After hesitating for a moment, he said again, “There is infighting in the academy, I want to ask, to what extent?”

“You mean, will people die?”

“Yes!”

Xia Huyou smiled, “Not in the academy, outside… hard to say! This kind of thing is really hard to say, at least no one has ever been caught, but sometimes some people go out and die, who knows what the situation is. It’s useless to ask about this, just be careful.”

“Then does that mean that safety is guaranteed in the academy?”

“Of course!”

Xia Huyou said solemnly, “This is the Great Xia Civilization Academy, if the Great Xia Prefecture didn’t have the Prefecture Lord, its strength might not even be comparable to here! A civilization academy that has been passed down for hundreds of years, if it can’t even guarantee the safety of students on campus, then it should just close down!”

“Here, you can trip people up, you can play tricks, you can challenge people openly, but if you secretly want to kill someone… hehe, just wait to die!”

Hearing him say this, Su Yu felt much more relieved.

At least his life is guaranteed.

Xia Huyou asked curiously, “Su Yu, have you made a decision?”

“We’ll see.”

Su Yu didn’t say it directly, and asked, “How long before we become disciples?”

“Three to five days, get used to it first, then you can become a disciple.”

Xia Huyou said with a smile, “Don’t be nervous, in the academy, as long as you can maintain your level in the monthly, quarterly, and final exams, then it’s not a big problem. The academy is not as difficult as you think.”

“Exams?”

“Yes, exams.”

Xia Huyou instructed, “Don’t take it lightly, you are a top-level student, you get 3 points of merit subsidy every month. It’s okay if you don’t do well once, but you’ll be demoted after two times, you’ll be fined merit points after three times, and you might be expelled after four times…”

“What do we get tested on?”

“Languages of the Myriad Races, divine runes, willpower… isn’t it just these things?”

Xia Huyou said indifferently, “These are all regular assessments, but the requirements are different for students of different levels. You are a top-level student, so you have to do well if you enjoy the benefits. If you don’t do well… you’re unlucky, and your teacher will also be unlucky.”

“Understood.”

…

During their conversation, the two arrived at the cafeteria.
Su Yu recharged 1 merit point, casually ordered a few dishes, which cost him 300 yuan, leaving him with only 9700 yuan in his account.

One word: a rip-off!

Su Yu was treating this time, not out of generosity when he was broke, but because he wanted to ask Xia Huyou some questions. This guy knew a lot. Being from a big family was different from Su Yu, who was completely clueless about many things.

In the end, Xia Huyou was full and content, and said with a smile, “Su Yu, I ate your food, so I won’t eat it for nothing! I’ll give you a piece of advice: to survive in the academy, you have to be ruthless!”

“Huh?”

“Don’t hide everything; it’s useless!” Xia Huyou said seriously, “If you hide, who will care if you’re pretending to be weak? Unless you don’t care about the academy’s resources, the teachers’ attention, or the advantages that come with it!”

“Otherwise, you have to show your strength!”

“Don’t be afraid of offending people!” Xia Huyou chuckled, “What’s there to be afraid of? In the academy, would they dare to kill you? If they don’t, then seize every opportunity you can, and get stronger quickly! The stronger you are, the more people will value you! If you’re strong enough to reach the Soaring stage in half a year, even the academy head will keep an eye on you. Anyone who dares to attack you would be asking for death!”

“But if you’re low-key and weak, who cares if you live or die!”

Xia Huyou shook his head and said, “To put it bluntly, there are 100,000 people in the academy, but how many are truly strong? Why would they care about you? You’re not a genius, you have no value, wouldn’t they rather nurture their own sons and grandsons? What’s the point of nurturing you!”

He then smiled and said, “So you have to do well in the exams! If someone causes you trouble, fight back! If you can’t beat them, then play it cool for a while. Once you can beat them, get your revenge right away, don’t wait too long, or no one will be interested in waiting for you!”

“There’s nothing wrong with being a little high-profile. Who isn’t?”

Xia Huyou smiled and said, “In recent years, the most high-profile were Bai Feng’s graduating class! Xia Yuwen, Hu Wensheng, Wu Qi, Bai Feng, Liu Hong… almost all of these people were in that class!”

“Why did that class produce so many strong people?”

“They fought their way to the top!”

Xia Huyou was a little excited and said, “You don’t know how arrogant these people were when they were students! When Xia Yuwen was about to reach the Soaring stage, he challenged the top ten on the Hundred Strong List, from second to tenth, and then from tenth to second, giving them all a lesson one by one!”

“In the end, he made them all fight him at once. He was badly injured, but he still managed to shut them up!”

“Don’t you know Bai Feng? He was also very high-profile back then. That guy was more famous in the War Academy than their own geniuses. He was beaten by a War Academy genius in the Nourishing stage, and he would go and cause trouble for that guy every year. One year, that guy wasn’t there, and Bai Feng thought he was hiding and didn’t dare to come out, so he insisted on challenging their Ten Thousand Stone List students, from second to 100th, fighting for three days, and completely subdued the War Academy!”

Xia Huyou chuckled, “That time, Mansion Head Zheng went berserk. The War Academy’s Ten Thousand Stone List was purged. They’d rather leave spots empty than let trash on the list! As a result, the Ten Thousand Stone List went from 100 people to 25, and it wasn’t filled until the past two years.”

Su Yu was a little surprised, “Teacher Bai Feng had this kind of experience?”

In his eyes, Bai Feng was very cool and detached, calm in the face of things, and had a sense of indifference to fame and fortune.

He didn’t seem like the kind of person who was hot-blooded and would readily draw a knife, but it turned out there was this kind of gossip.

“It’s true, but it was a few years ago, when they were about our age, very arrogant. If you’re not arrogant, who would care about you?”

“Wu Qi, you should have heard of her, right?” Xia Huyou said softly, “She’s even more amazing than Bai Feng. She’s younger than Bai Feng, and she entered the academy earlier than Bai Feng. Everyone looked down on her, saying she was just a showpiece cultivated by the Wu family… hehe, that woman is ferocious!”

Xia Huyou looked around nervously, and then whispered, “You know Liu Hong, right? He provoked her once, and she broke Liu Hong’s leg in front of dozens of teachers. The bones were sticking out! Liu Hong has been afraid of her ever since, and he’s extremely well-behaved in front of her.”

“And that’s not all. That woman… tsk tsk, she didn’t reach the Soaring stage in the academy, she reached it on the Battlefield of the Heavens. She ran into a demon who came out to train, and they fought to the death for a long time. That woman… I heard, I heard, that she bit that demon elite to death, and drank all his blood! Truly ferocious!”

Xia Huyou said with some fear, “She used demon blood to forge her body! The Wu family originally prepared god blood for her, but they found a lot of demon blood in her body, which she drank herself. They had no choice but to switch to demon blood to forge her body!”

“I heard from the Dragon Martial Guard that when they found her, she was almost dead. The demon elite’s neck was bitten through!”

Su Yu immediately took it seriously!

Before, he really didn’t pay much attention to it. After all, with Wu Lan’s poor performance, he had some prejudices against the children of these big families, and thought they were all a little silly.

But now, hearing what Xia Huyou said, Su Yu felt a sense of horror.

So ruthless?

To bite a demon elite to death, how fierce would that be!

Even he wouldn’t dare to say he could do it. Killing people is killing people, but it doesn’t mean he can accept any way of dying.

“I’m telling you all this to make you understand that their class wasn’t just hyped up.” Xia Huyou laughed, “And you have to know that our class is even more ferocious! In the past, there weren’t so many monsters entering the academy at once. Two or three a year would be good, but this year I know of eight!”

“There are 26 students in the top tier this year, last year there were only 12, it’s doubled!”

Xia Huyou clicked his tongue and said, “So I’ve decided to be a little cowardly. Otherwise, if I was in the middle tier, I could have been arrogant last year, but I really don’t dare to be this year.”

“Then why are you encouraging me!”

Su Yu snorted unhappily.

“What’s there to be afraid of? You’re in the top tier, what’s there to be afraid of!”
Xia Huyou laughed, “You’re almost at the Ten Thousand Catties Realm, you might break through in a few days. There aren’t many new students at the Ten Thousand Catties Realm, except for the old ones. Cultivating the nature is good, but if the divine script isn’t good, cultivating the nature doesn’t have much combat power.”

“Like me, I also cultivate the nature, and I completely outlined the divine script, but my divine script is only good for cleaning up. If I use it to hit people… I’m afraid I’ll get killed.”

He tentatively asked, “Your divine script should be an offensive one, right?”

Su Yu laughed, “I guess so, but it’s not very offensive. It’s more like an auxiliary one. It needs to cut the enemy to absorb blood.”

“Oh, blood-sucking properties…”

Xia Huyou noted it down. Su Yu asked in surprise, “Don’t you have my information?”

“I do, but the information recorded in Nan Yuan is vague. The assessment data is confidential, and the information about other people is what I usually inquire about. I only met you today, how would I know?”

Information is collected bit by bit. He collected a bit today: Su Yu’s divine script has blood-sucking properties!

Su Yu whispered, “Um… is it worth anything if I sell you my information?”

“Huh?”

“My divine script has more than one property. If I sell you more, will you pay me?”

“…”

A ruthless person!

Xia Huyou’s eyes changed, he met a ruthless person.

He’s willing to sell himself for money.

“Um… if it’s true… it should… be worth some money…”

“Then how about I tell you one property and you give me 5 merit points?”

“This… um… that’s too expensive… how about 1 point?”

“Forget it, too little, I’m not selling.”

Su Yu gave up. Xia Huyou wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead. He didn’t see that coming. He looked like he didn’t understand anything before, but suddenly he exploded. A ruthless person.

“Aren’t you afraid… that people will find out and target you?”

“It’s bound to happen sooner or later. These things can’t be hidden. As long as I keep getting stronger, targeting me will be a joke.”

“That makes some sense…”

Xia Huyou nodded, his smile becoming a bit more genuine. “Brother Su, please take care of your little brother in the future. If you need anything, ask your brother for help, I guarantee I’ll handle it perfectly for you!”

“Really?”

“Of course!”

“I want to exchange for some essence blood of the Myriad Stone Realm of the Myriad Races. Can you help me get it?”

“Just the Myriad Stone Realm, no problem. Tell me, what kind do you want!”

Su Yu immediately said, “Spinning Turtle, Luyu Fish, Iron Wing Bird is also fine.”

“Luyu Fish is not okay!” Xia Huyou’s head instantly grew bigger. “This is a neutral race, you can’t hunt them casually. It’ll be troublesome if they find out! Iron Wing Bird is easy, I can exchange for that, Spinning Turtle… I have to ask.”

“What’s the price?”

“Myriad Stone Realm is divided into early, middle, and late stages. Which stage do you want? Iron Wing Bird essence blood at the Ten Thousand Catties Realm isn’t worth much, it’s a uniform price, 1 merit point to exchange. But Myriad Stone Realm, the early stage is 3 points, the middle stage is 5 points, and the late stage is 10 points!”

“As for the Spinning Turtle, it’s more expensive. It’s not common like Iron Wing Bird.”

“The early stage is fine. If I can’t get the Spinning Turtle, I’ll exchange for the Iron Wing Bird, 5 drops, plus 5 drops of Yuan Qi liquid, 30 merit points!”

“…”

Xia Huyou looked at him, baring his teeth, “Su Yu, you’re too good at bargaining! Yuan Qi liquid is 5 merit points a drop, and 5 drops of essence blood is 15 points, a total of 40 points…”

Su Yu shook his head, “I’m not stupid. Merit points can be exchanged for money. The black market price can be 50,000, 30 merit points is 1.5 million! Yuan Qi liquid is officially 100,000 a drop, 5 drops is 500,000, Iron Wing Bird essence blood, even at the Myriad Stone Realm, can it be worth 200,000 a drop? It’s just a little risky, I don’t want to take the risk, and I don’t want to go to the academy to exchange, wasting merit points. I’m looking for you. If 30 points can do it, then we’ll have the opportunity to cooperate all the time. If it can’t be done… I don’t believe that no one in the academy can do it, it’s not like it’s a controlled resource!”

“You’ll make a profit. I’m not the kind of person who doesn’t let people make money. 30 merit points, don’t tell me you can’t buy it and have to pay out of your own pocket!”

Xia Huyou gave a thumbs up, smilingly, “Brother is quite shrewd. If you go to the academy to exchange for this stuff, it’ll cost 40 merit points. Finding me… is the right choice! Okay, I’ll deliver it to you tomorrow, 30 merit points, that’s the price!”

Su Yu smiled.

Saved money!

Saved 10 merit points. If it wasn’t for this guy, he just came to the academy, how would he dare to randomly look for someone to exchange? He wouldn’t be afraid of being scammed and taken advantage of.

Finding Xia Huyou is because he’s very smart, and he’s from a big family. He should know if it’s worth it to scam him for 30 merit points.

Maybe he can exchange for it at a cheaper price on the black market, but Su Yu doesn’t have time to waste, and he can’t find the right channels. As for finding Zhou Hui, forget it, he’s really afraid that Zhou Hui will scam him once for 30 merit points.

Xia Huyou also grinned. See, this is the benefit of making friends with geniuses.

First day of meeting, 30 merit points worth of transactions.

Those middle and lower-level students are stingy, maybe they only trade a few merit points at a time, how can it be as refreshing as cooperating with a genius, especially a genius without a background? If they have a background, their own family wouldn’t lack these.

Su Yu just entered the school now, what about in the future?

Xia Huyou smiled even more brightly, 30 merit points, 1.5 million in hand after some black market dealings.

Buying those things, the price of Yuan Qi liquid is hard to say, the official price is 100,000, but if he finds an acquaintance, finds a Soaring expert to help, 50,000 a drop is no problem.

Iron Wing Bird essence blood at the Myriad Stone Realm isn’t really worth much, 5 drops should be able to be bought for 500,000.

Back and forth, he can earn half.

Of course, it requires taking on a lot of risks and requires connections. Not everyone can do this business.

If he’s unlucky, the merit points might change hands in the process, and become Wan’s!

He’s satisfied, and Su Yu is also satisfied.

It’s much better than expected. He was prepared to go to the academy to exchange, but if he went to the academy, all 40 merit points he had would be gone!

Now he still has 10 merit points left, enough for him to live for a while.
