Back in room 609, Su Yu reflected on everything that had happened today, wondering if anything was inappropriate.

Asking Bai Feng for benefits, Bai Feng might be unhappy, or might not.

He saved 100 merit points, which was a good thing.

“If Bai Feng is unhappy about this…”

Su Yu muttered, paused, and a look of determination appeared on his face.

That meant that Bai Feng was inherently narrow-minded. Accepting him as a disciple wasn’t really sincere. He could just not ask for his help in the future.

Top-tier geniuses being accepted as disciples was supposed to give them more opportunities and better treatment.

Otherwise, so many students wouldn’t want to find a teacher to guide them.

Mid- and low-tier students barely had a chance. Top-tier geniuses had this opportunity to get benefits. The relationship between teachers and students was mutually beneficial.

When students achieved something, teachers also benefited greatly.

After weighing the pros and cons, Su Yu made up his mind.

…………

Afternoon.

Xia Huyou arrived.

He knocked on the door, entered, and complained with a worried expression, “The academy is crazy. They’ve been cracking down on the black market like crazy lately. Luckily, I didn’t bring much, or I might have been caught today!”

Su Yu didn’t care about that. If the black market really collapsed, he could just exchange at the academy, it would just be more expensive.

“Where’s the stuff?”

“Here it is!”

Xia Huyou took off his watermelon rind hat, which was stuffed with things.

Su Yu was speechless. This guy really knew how to hide things.

“You said it’s for your own use, how could they confiscate it?”

He didn’t believe Xia Huyou. It couldn’t be that strict. If it were that strict, no one could cultivate. Would bringing anything count as black market trading?

“You don’t understand…”

Xia Huyou said with a chuckle, “The academy has inspectors who know who might be carrying goods. The Xia family is a key target, and it’s troublesome if we get caught.”

“Let’s trade!”

Su Yu didn’t say much, took the things, which were just two bottles.

One bottle of essence blood, one bottle of vitality liquid.

Essence blood was easy to identify, with some monster characteristics. Of course, you had to guard against counterfeits.

Su Yu sensed it and found that the energy was very rich.

It was much stronger than the previous Thousand Pound Realm essence blood, probably from the Ten Thousand Stone Realm.

A golden iron-winged bird was visible in the essence blood.

Vitality liquid was even easier to identify.

After checking it carefully to make sure it was real, Su Yu took out his merit card and traded with Xia Huyou.

30 merit points were deducted, leaving Su Yu with 110 merit points.

The academy’s reward of merit points had arrived, which gave Su Yu some confidence and would be enough for a while.

Xia Huyou glanced at Su Yu’s merit card, secretly scanned the balance, and was happy in his heart. There were still 110 points, not bad!

Hasn’t this guy exchanged for a cultivation technique?

“Su Yu, do you want an advanced version of the God of War Technique?”

Xia Huyou whispered, “I can find you another channel to exchange it for a very cheap price.”

Su Yu frowned, “No need! Cultivation techniques from the academy are more reliable!”

It was difficult to guarantee the authenticity of external cultivation techniques.

He wouldn’t easily use external cultivation techniques.

Besides, he already had one. Bai Feng said he would give it to him, so it shouldn’t be a problem.

Xia Huyou was a little regretful, but he didn’t care and smiled, “Okay, then let’s not mention that. Do you need anything else? Just say it!”

“Not for now!”

Su Yu was preparing to cultivate. These two days of enrollment, because he didn’t have essence blood or vitality liquid, his cultivation speed was not fast, and it was a bit of a delay.

As he spoke, Su Yu suddenly said, “By the way, do you know where Assistant Bai Feng’s research institute is?”

“Hmm?”

Xia Huyou looked at him, his eyes lit up, “You’ve been allowed to enter the research institute?”

“No, I’m just asking.”

“Don’t lie to me!” Xia Huyou said excitedly, “It must be true! Su Yu, how about we cooperate? Smuggle out some research institute data…”

“Get out!”

Su Yu’s personality was usually good, but at this time, he couldn’t help but curse, angrily saying, “Get out! Say it or don’t!”

This guy was crazy!

Even if Su Yu didn’t know the importance of the research institute, he understood how much trouble selling data would cause. If important results were sold, he could lose his life.

This guy was a black-hearted merchant!

Xia Huyou said sheepishly, “Don’t, I was just joking. Even if you dared to sell it, I wouldn’t dare to buy it. If it were known, Master Hong Tan could kill people. I wouldn’t dare to accept it.”

As he spoke, Xia Huyou said enviously, “Su Yu, Master Hong Tan’s research institute is amazing! Of course, there haven’t been many results in recent decades, but decades ago, tsk tsk, it was well-known in the Civilization Academy!”

“Well-known?”

Su Yu asked curiously, “How well-known?”

“For example…” Xia Huyou said with a chuckle, “Just take a course currently taught at the academy, Divine Rune Characteristic Fusion! As early as decades ago, the human realm had been researching the fusion of Divine Runes, but before it was just crude Divine Rune fusion!”

“But decades ago, Master Hong Tan introduced a new research result, the fusion or transfer of characteristics!”

Xia Huyou said seriously, “Simply put, a Divine Rune may have multiple characteristics, but some of these characteristics are useless and interfere with other characteristics. In the past, such Divine Runes were almost useless.”

“But back then, Master Hong Tan proposed a scheme to transfer characteristics, rather than crude fusion of Divine Runes! For example, a ‘knife’ Divine Rune with the characteristic of sharpness is pure and amazing! But if it has another characteristic, such as fragility, then it’s over!”

Xia Huyou said with emotion, “Sharpness is a powerful characteristic, but no matter how sharp the Divine Rune is, if it’s attached to a weapon and exhibits the characteristic of fragility, then either the knife will be destroyed, or the knife energy will break before it’s even cut out. Wouldn’t you say this Divine Rune is useless?”

Su Yu nodded and said in a deep voice, “So these characteristics can be transferred?”

“It wasn’t possible a few decades ago.” Xia Huyou laughed, “But now it is, of course, the difficulty is very high, and it’s easy to destroy the divine script, but at least there’s a chance, which is one of the achievements of Master Hong Tan’s Research Institute back then, very amazing!”

“Master Hong Tan wasn’t very old back then, right?” Su Yu hesitated, “A few decades ago, how many years ago? Master Hong is at most 70 this year, right?”

“Yes, he was very young back then…” Xia Huyou laughed, “So he’s been a senior researcher for many years, which is related to the release of that achievement. Of course, it wasn’t just him alone researching; Master Hong Tan inherited some of the research results of the Fifth Generation Prefect… and improved on them.”

Su Yu raised his eyebrows.

He quickly said, “Master Hong Tan is related to the Fifth Generation Prefect?”

“You didn’t know?”

Xia Huyou said in surprise, “He’s a student of the Fifth Generation Prefect, and so is Liu Wenyan, didn’t you know?”

“Never asked.”

Su Yu said casually, but he took it to heart.

Of course, what was more important was the research institute. Su Yu didn’t expect that such an achievement had been made back then.

Characteristic Transfer!

That was very impressive!

Divine scripts are very important. Anyone who outlines a divine script, nurturing and outlining it takes time and opportunity. If the characteristics aren’t good, then it’s useless, wasting time and opportunity. But once the characteristics can be changed, the divine script can be better matched to oneself.

Su Yu took a breath and didn’t ask about it anymore. He said, “Just tell me the location.”

“The location… it’s easy to find, right next to the Mind Cultivation Pavilion, there are several research institutes there. Master Hong Tan’s research institute is called the Wen Tan Research Center, you can find it when you get there.”

“Wen Tan Research Center?”

Su Yu was a little curious, was the “Wen” a divine script, or Liu Wenyan?

Nodding slightly, Su Yu continued, “Teacher Bai Feng said that he’s very poor, and his resources are all invested in the research institute, is that true?”

“That’s right… it’s true!”

Xia Huyou nodded and said, “Their lineage… no, now it should be said your lineage, is quite poor! Just one research institute almost dragged you down. Originally, it shouldn’t have been like this. Back then, with a divine script characteristic fusion, you obtained a lot of resource investment.”

“As a result… I don’t know what Teacher Hong Tan was thinking, insisting on studying other things. As a result, after decades, countless resources have been invested, but there have been no results, and now they’re so poor that they can barely eat…”

Xia Huyou said regretfully, “Otherwise, your lineage would still be very wealthy.”

“Our lineage…” Su Yu hesitated, “You guys keep saying that, but I don’t understand. What kind of faction is our lineage?”

“Multi-Divine Script Fusion System!”

Xia Huyou laughed, “That’s what outsiders call it. You have to know that although the Divine Script Academy studies divine scripts, under normal circumstances, three or five divine scripts are enough. Some simply have one. A powerful divine script represents everything!”

“But your lineage likes to outline multiple divine scripts, and this ‘multiple’… is not just a normal amount!”

Xia Huyou complained, “It’s a lot. Before Bai Feng reached the Sky Soaring Realm, he seemed to have outlined 12 divine scripts. Outlining one divine script takes a lot of time, and you have to nurture it and strengthen it. Outlining so many divine scripts, if his talent wasn’t really strong, reaching the Sky Soaring Realm… just keep waiting!”

“So there aren’t many people on your side, and there are very few who have reached the Sky Soaring Realm.”

Xia Huyou whispered, “There used to be quite a few people, but later some people couldn’t stand it and felt it was a waste of time, so a lot of them left! In your lineage, outlining no more than 10 divine scripts generally doesn’t get you to the Sky Soaring Realm. Even if you can reach the Sky Soaring Realm, they won’t let you. Who can stand that?”

Su Yu frowned, “Is it necessary to do that? Why not let us reach the Sky Soaring Realm when we can? Can’t we outline divine scripts after reaching the Sky Soaring Realm?”

“How would I know? There are too many factions in the academy, and each faction has its own trump card. Some things won’t be passed on to outsiders.”

Xia Huyou shrugged, “So your lineage isn’t very strong in the Divine Script Academy, but with Old Hong there, your status is still quite high. In the past, you could still recruit some students every year, but later, as more people left, you stopped recruiting people yourselves.”

When people are recruited, some resources have to be spent to cultivate them.

As a result, halfway through, people left, and all the early investments were wasted.

In the later stages, Hong Tan’s lineage naturally didn’t recruit many students.

Bai Feng was able to recruit two students, but before that, he had been empty, not recruiting anyone who came. This is one of the reasons.

“Left…”

Su Yu murmured and asked, “Is it okay to leave?”

Xia Huyou smiled and said, “Under normal circumstances, of course you can’t leave, but your side doesn’t let people reach the Sky Soaring Realm, so you can’t do anything about it. The academy won’t let geniuses waste time, always stuck before manifestation. Don’t tell me, Old Hong has good eyes. Several students who left later all manifested and reached the Sky Soaring Realm!”

Xia Huyou laughed, “Now there are several official researchers in the academy who were originally from your lineage. There are also several teaching assistants! However… Bai Feng generally ignores them, their relationship isn’t good, and he doesn’t admit that those people are from your lineage.”

“Then how many people are there on our side?”

Su Yu was curious, how many people were there in Bai Feng’s lineage?

“Let me think…”

Xia Huyou calculated for a while and held out a chubby palm.

“What does that mean?”

“Five!”

Xia Huyou laughed, “Including you, five!”

“Huh?”

Su Yu was stunned, “You mean, there were only 4 before?”

(Please turn to the next page for more!)

“That’s right!”

Xia Huyou laughed, “Old Hong, Bai Feng, and Bai Feng’s senior brother, who is now a Sky Soaring Realm official researcher. He also took a student, plus you, 5!”

Su Yu’s face turned green.

5 people, counted as a lineage?

He thought Bai Feng’s side was a big faction!

As a result… just 5 people? And that included himself!

“How can there be so few, Old Hong has been in the academy for so many years…”
Xia Huyou said speechlessly, “Didn’t I say? There are no resources to cultivate! All the money has been poured into the research institute, and the requirements are extremely high. If the number of divine runes outlined is not enough, they won’t let you rise into the air. As a result, people left, and Elder Hong later lost interest in taking in disciples. Can there be fewer people?”

“But…”

Su Yu didn’t know what to say!

But five people were too few.

“Few is good!” Xia Huyou comforted, “Actually, it’s quite good. Think about it, with fewer people, there’s less infighting, fewer disputes, and less competition. Now that Elder Hong is back, he often gives you pointers. If it were other major factions, haha, who would have time to care about you!”

“Dean Zhou, for example, has dozens of his own students, and his students’ students number in the hundreds. A faction has thousands of people… Do you think Dean Zhou has time to care about those people?”

Xia Huyou comforted, “Except for being a bit poor, you’re all pretty good. Besides, you’re not really poor! Look forward to it. When Elder Hong can’t continue his research, he’ll sell the research institute… Tsk tsk, it’ll sell for at least several hundred thousand merit points. If he shares a little with you, you’ll be rich!”

“…”

Su Yu glanced at him. Why did his words sound so awkward?

It felt like joining this faction was just waiting to inherit the estate!

Xia Huyou didn’t care what he thought and chuckled, “Really, a lot of people wanted to join this faction before, just to wait for it to go bankrupt! Waiting for Elder Hong to not be able to hold on anymore and sell the research institute, or make it public and recruit people to invest, then there will be money and you’ll get rich!”

“It’s a pity that after waiting and waiting for decades, there’s still no result.”

Su Yu asked strangely, “Then why not make it public?”

He felt that allowing more people to join shouldn’t be a problem.

After all, the research results from the academy had to be reported in the end.

“There are many reasons. First, Elder Hong has high requirements, and not everyone is willing to cooperate.”

“Second, the cost is too high. In the past, someone wanted to invest, and Elder Hong’s asking price was dozens of divine demons… whole corpses, preferably alive!”

“Third, Elder Hong is picky about people. He doesn’t let just anyone in. If you want to send someone in, they have to outline more than 10 divine runes before reaching the sky, otherwise they can’t participate in the project. Who can agree to that?”

Xia Huyou said with some emotion, “After a while, no one has been able to find a partner for so many years. Everyone can’t accept his conditions, so it’s just stuck.”

Su Yu understood somewhat.

He also vaguely understood that Bai Feng’s faction was really rich, but this money wasn’t cash.

It was all poured into the research institute!

As for how much was poured in, it might be an astronomical figure. Otherwise, with a Mountain Sea Realm, a Soaring Sky Realm, and a Rising Cloud Realm, and no idlers, and only one student before Su Yu, it wouldn’t be so poor.

Several hundred thousand merit points… Xia Huyou said that selling the research institute could sell for several hundred thousand merit points, which might not be a lie.

A Mountain Sea Realm spent decades of time, investing everything in a project, and the cost invested was also shockingly high.

For decades, doing nothing else but fusing vitality liquid could earn a lot.

Five people…

Su Yu silently repeated in his mind, feeling a bit dumbfounded.

Too few!

Exhaling in his heart, Su Yu thought for a moment and asked, “One more question, is our faction being targeted?”

“Hmm?”

Xia Huyou glanced at him, grinned, coughed lightly, and said, “Hard to say, I’m not too clear about this.”

“What’s hard to say!”

Su Yu said seriously, “You even know some secrets, I don’t believe you don’t know this!”

Xia Huyou said awkwardly, “It’s really hard to say, this kind of thing… saying it offends people.”

“You’ve already said it. Do you think if you don’t say it, I won’t find out myself later?”

Su Yu said in a deep voice, “If you’re evasive, you’ll offend me, wouldn’t that be a bad deal?”

“You…” Xia Huyou said helplessly, “This kind of information costs money, but fine, I’ll give you a few for free. If you ask me this again next time, I’ll really have to charge you!”

With that, Xia Huyou began, “This can also be considered an old generation’s feud, strictly speaking, something that existed during the time of the fifth generation of deans! But it reached its peak 50 years ago, and even almost affected the entire academy…”

“I really don’t know the specific process. The people from back then are very secretive about it! I only know that Liu Wenyan, as a teacher, was expelled from the academy back then. He wasn’t the only one, there were many older generation geniuses who were expelled as well!”

Xia Huyou said in a low voice, “Back then, the divine rune fusion path and the multi-divine rune path were very popular in the academy. During the time of the fifth generation of deans, this faction was the mainstream of the academy! Dean Zhou and his group were considered single-divine rune factions. Of course, single-divine rune factions don’t mean there’s only one, but the number generally doesn’t exceed 10…”

“I heard that back then, during the time of the fifth generation of deans, they were severely suppressed, or rather, it wasn’t suppression, but they thought that those who didn’t outline many divine runes were trash, and they didn’t provide much resources. Anyway, it was very miserable. As a result, something went wrong with the multi-divine rune path, and a large number of geniuses were crippled. Their side rose up instead… You know, with years of grievances involved, can the two sides reconcile as before?”

Su Yu understood the general idea. Back then, Dean Zhou and his few-divine rune faction were considered trash. During the time of the fifth generation of deans, they were constantly suppressed, or rather, rejected.

As a result, the multi-divine rune faction fell, the geniuses were crippled, and Dean Zhou and his group rose up, so naturally they wouldn’t be polite to the multi-divine rune faction.

“Dean Zhou… Dean Zhou Mingren?”

Su Yu muttered to himself, connecting the clues one by one, and quickly deduced some things.

Then, thinking about what Xia Huyou just said, their faction had thousands of people, and yours… five!

Su Yu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. It was truly miserable.

It seemed that this so-called “Multi-Divine Rune Fusion System” was even worse off than the weapon forging system, which at least had a large group of people.

50 years ago, geniuses were expelled…

Su Yu thought of Liu Wenyan and murmured in his heart, was his teacher also a genius back then?

Expelled from the academy?

If that was the case, why had he been cultivating students for the academy all these years?
Didn’t he hate them?

Or was there something he simply didn’t understand?

His head ached from thinking, so Su Yu stopped dwelling on it.

Let Elder Hong and Bai Feng worry about these things. He wasn’t qualified to concern himself with them yet. He was just worried about being implicated and delaying his cultivation.

But seeing that Bai Feng was still doing well, Su Yu wasn’t so worried anymore.

There might be conflict between them, but Bai Feng survived and even became a talented assistant instructor. Su Yu wouldn’t be too bad off either.

…………

Starting that afternoon, Su Yu began to conserve his energy.

He was restoring his vitality, preparing to activate the Ten Thousand Stone Realm illustrated manual.

If he swallowed the Ten Thousand Stone Realm essence blood and the manual didn’t absorb it, he would be seriously injured.

Generally, at the Thousand Pound Realm, one can only cultivate by swallowing Thousand Pound Realm essence blood.

What’s more, Su Yu wasn’t even at the Thousand Pound Realm, only the Opening Origin Realm.

If the manual didn’t absorb the Ten Thousand Stone essence blood, he would be in big trouble. The powerful energy of the essence blood could surge through his body. He might not explode, but he would definitely be seriously injured.

He waited until evening, and Su Yu calmed down. He looked at the Ironwing Bird Ten Thousand Stone Realm essence blood in front of him and fell into thought.

There were 5 drops of essence blood, all from the early stage of the Ten Thousand Stone Realm.

As for whether it was the first or third level, it was hard to judge. Within the small realms, the energy fluctuations of essence blood were similar unless the manufacturer labeled it. Otherwise, ordinary people couldn’t tell.

“Hopefully, it’s the first level of the Ten Thousand Stone Realm…”

Su Yu wasn’t expecting it to be the third level. The first level would be better.

With his current strength and physical fortitude, even if he activated it at the third level, he might not be able to withstand it.

Both the explosion of power and the rate of Yuan Qi absorption would be difficult to endure.

He could try the first level, though.

Thinking these things in his heart, the next moment, Su Yu gritted his teeth, picked up the bottle, poured out a drop of essence blood, and swallowed it directly!

“Boom!”

The power of the essence blood exploded as soon as it entered his body.

A powerful force surged through his body, and in a moment, Su Yu felt like his body was about to explode. Drops of bright red blood appeared on his skin.

The next moment, this powerful force suddenly disappeared!

In his mind, the golden illustrated manual flickered slightly.

Su Yu’s face was flushed, and he gasped for breath. The instant power explosion of the Ten Thousand Stone essence blood was too much pressure for him.

…………

At the same time.

In a residence in the Cultivation Pavilion.

Wan Tiansheng was reading a book when he suddenly looked towards the Cultivation Garden, furrowed his brows slightly, and muttered, “What is this power explosion…”

The next moment, he was still holding the book in his hand, but he had already appeared in the sky above the Cultivation Garden.

His eyes swept around, and soon, they landed on Building 3.

“A freshman, Su Yu?”

“Swallowing Ten Thousand Stone essence blood to cultivate?”

“The power of a special divine writing?”

“Liu Wenyan… inherited that divine writing?”

Wan Tiansheng muttered to himself, not quite sure. The multi-divine writing fusion system was very deep and mysterious in its research on divine writings. Since Liu Wenyan, the leader of this system, was expelled fifty years ago, the multi-divine writing fusion system had actually declined.

“Su Yu…”

Wan Tiansheng wouldn’t completely ignore a top-tier genius. At this moment, he paid a little more attention.

Liu Wenyan had sent many people, but there had been no changes all these years.

Tonight, Su Yu, at the Opening Origin Realm, swallowed Ten Thousand Stone essence blood to cultivate. This was very special!

The energy fluctuation just now wasn’t the power of essence blood, it was another kind of power, extremely special, which was why he noticed it.

“A special divine writing?”

“A divine writing after fusion?”

“Or… something else?”

Wan Tiansheng fell into thought. The next moment, he smiled and floated away.

The multi-divine writing system had been low-key all these years. Was it preparing to explode this time?

It would be good to explode a little. He hoped to see this system explode. It had been silent for too long. If it continued to be silent, this system would soon be destroyed.

As for Su Yu… he could observe him more in the future.

If it involved that divine writing and he interfered, Hong Tan probably wouldn’t let it go.

Hong Tan, Wu Yuehua, and several other pavilion elders were all paying attention to Liu Wenyan.

Although he wasn’t in the academy, as the leader of the past, many people were still waiting for his return. He didn’t have the mood to fight with them at this time. Let Zhou Mingren worry about it!

PS: Asking for recommendation tickets, so pitiful, it fell again, kill, kill, kill, kill those guys in front!
