After returning to Room 609, Su Yu recalled everything that happened today and pondered if something was wrong.
If he asked for benefits from Bai Feng, Bai Feng might or might not be happy.
He had saved 100 contribution points. This was a benefit.
"If Bai Feng isn't happy because of this..."
Su Yu mumbled. After pausing for a moment, a look of determination appeared on his face.
This meant that Bai Feng wasn't a magnanimous person to begin with. Accepting him as a disciple wasn't considered sincere. At most, he wouldn't beg him in the future.
The reason why top-grade geniuses acknowledged a teacher was to give top-grade geniuses more opportunities and better treatment.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many students wanting to find a teacher to guide them.
The lower-middle geniuses had almost no chance. The reason why top-grade geniuses had this opportunity was because they wanted to gain benefits. The relationship between teacher and student was mutually beneficial.
If a student had achievements, the teacher would also gain great benefits.
After weighing the pros and cons, Su Yu made up his mind.
...
Afternoon.
Xia Hu You came.
He knocked on the door and entered. Xia Hu You was filled with worry as he grumbled, "The school has gone crazy. Recently, they have been cracking down on the black market. Thankfully, I didn't bring many things with me. Otherwise, I might still be in trouble today!"
Su Yu wasn't concerned about this. If the black market was crippled, he could just go to the school to exchange. It would just be a little more expensive.
"Where are the things?"
"They're here!"
Xia Hu You took off his skullcap. There were many things stuffed inside.
Su Yu was speechless. (This fellow is really good at hiding things.)
"You said that it's for your own use. Do you think they can seize it?"
He didn't believe Xia Hu You's words. How could it be so strict? If it was really so strict, everyone wouldn't be able to cultivate. Would bringing some random things be considered a black market transaction?
"You don't understand..."
Xia Hu You chuckled. "The school has surveillance and knows who might be carrying the goods. Our Xia Jia people are the main targets. It would be troublesome if we were discovered."
"Let's trade!"
Su Yu didn't say much. He took the things. There were a total of two bottles.
A bottle of blood essence and a bottle of vitality liquid.
Blood essence was easy to identify. Blood essence had some characteristics of demonic beasts. Of course, one had to guard against fakes.
Su Yu sensed that the energy was very dense.
It was much stronger than the Fifteen Jun realm essence blood from before. It should be from the Wan Shi realm.
A golden Iron-winged Bird appeared in the blood essence.
Liquefied Essence Qi was easier to identify.
After checking and confirming that it was real, Su Yu took out his merit point card and made a transaction with Xia Hu You.
After deducting 30 merit points, Su Yu was left with 110 merit points.
The merit points awarded by the academy had arrived in his account. This also gave Su Yu some confidence. It would be enough for him to use in the short term.
Xia Hu You Yuguang glanced at Su Yu's merit card and secretly glanced at the balance. He was delighted. He still had 110 merit points. Not bad!
Didn't this fellow change his cultivation technique?
"Su Yu, do you want the advanced version of the War God Art?"
Xia Hu You whispered, "I can find another channel to exchange for it for you. The price is very cheap."
Su Yu frowned and said, "No need! Things like cultivation techniques are still more reliable from the academy! "
It was hard to guarantee the authenticity of external cultivation techniques.
He would not easily use external cultivation techniques.
Moreover, he already had it. If Bai Feng said to give it to him, then it should not be a big problem.
Xia Hu You was somewhat regretful, but he did not mind and said with a smile, "Alright, then let's not talk about this. Is there anything else you need? Feel free to speak! "
"Not for the time being!"
Su Yu prepared to cultivate. These two days after entering the academy, because he did not have blood essence or vitality liquid, his cultivation speed was not fast and was somewhat delayed.
As he said, Su Yu suddenly said, "Oh, right, do you know where Teaching Assistant Bai Feng's research institute is?"
"En?"
Xia Hu You looked at him, his eyes lighting up. "You were allowed to enter the research institute?"
"No, I'm just asking."
"Don't lie to me!" Xia Hu You said excitedly, "It must be true! Su Yu, how about working together for once? Resell the research institute's information … "
"Get lost!"
Su Yu's personality was considered good, but at this time, he could not help but curse and said angrily, "Get lost! Say it or not! "
This guy was crazy!
Even if Su Yu did not know the importance of the research institute, he knew how troublesome it was to resell information. Once important results were resold, he might die.
This guy was a black-hearted businessman!
Xia Hu You said embarrassedly, "Don't, I'm just joking. Even if you dare to sell it, I don't dare to buy it. If I'm found out, I won't dare to accept Master Hong Tan's research institute. "
As he said that, Xia Hu You said enviously, "Su Yu, Master Hong Tan's research institute is very impressive! Of course, there are not many results in the past few decades, but a few decades ago, tsk tsk, it was very famous in the Civilization Academy! "
"Very famous?"
Su Yu asked curiously, "How famous?"
"For example …" Xia Hu You said with a smile, "Let's talk about a course taught in the academy at the current stage, Shenwen characteristic fusion! As early as a few decades ago, the Human Realm has been studying Shenwen fusion, but before that, it was only a crude Shenwen fusion! "
"But a few decades ago, Master Hong Tan came up with a new research result, the fusion or transfer of characteristics!"
Xia Hu You said seriously, "Simply put, a Shenwen may have many characteristics, but some of them are not beneficial. Instead, they interfere with other characteristics. In the past, such a Shenwen was almost useless."
"But back then, Master Hong Tan proposed a plan to transfer the characteristics, instead of the crude Shenwen fusion! For example, a Shenwen with the word 'saber' has a sharp characteristic. Such a Shenwen is pure and very impressive! But once it has an additional characteristic, such as fragility, it's over! "
Xia Hu You said emotionally, "Sharpness is a powerful characteristic, but no matter how sharp a Shenwen is, if it attaches to a weapon and has a fragility characteristic, then either the saber will be destroyed, or the saber aura will shatter on its own before it can slash out. Do you think this Shenwen is useless?"
Su Yu nodded and said in a low voice, "So these characteristics can be transferred?"
"Not decades ago." Xia Hu You said with a smile, "But now it's possible. Of course, it's very difficult, and it's easy for Shenwen to be destroyed, but at least there's a chance. This is one of the results of Master Hong Tan's research. It's amazing!"
"Master Hong Tan wasn't old back then, right?" Su Yu said hesitantly, "Decades ago? How many years ago is that? Master Hong is at most 70 years old this year, right? "
"Yes, he was very young back then …" Xia Hu You said with a smile, "That's why he became a senior researcher for many years. It has something to do with the release of the results. Of course, he wasn't the only one doing the research. Master Hong inherited part of the results of the Fifth Principal's research … and improved on it."
Su Yu raised an eyebrow.
Soon, he said, "Master Hong is related to the Fifth Principal?"
"You don't know?"
Xia Hu You said in surprise, "He's a student of the Fifth Principal, and so is Instructor Liu Wenyan. Don't you know?"
"I didn't ask."
Su Yu said perfunctorily, but he took it to heart.
Of course, the research institute was more important. Su Yu did not expect that there would be such results back then.
Characteristic transfer!
This was amazing!
Shenwen was very important. Anyone who wanted to outline a Shenwen would need time and luck to nurture and outline it. If the characteristic was not good, it would be useless. It would be a waste of time and luck. However, if the characteristic could be changed, Shenwen would be more suitable for the person.
Su Yu exhaled and did not ask further. He said, "Just tell me the location."
"The location … is very easy to find. It's at the research base south of Xiuxin Ge. There are a few other research institutes there. Master Hong Tan's research institute is called the Wentan Research Center. You'll be able to find it once you get there."
"Wentan Research Center?"
Su Yu was a little curious. Was this "Wen" Shenwen or Liu Wenyan?
Nodding slightly, Su Yu said again, "Instructor Bai Feng said that he's very poor and that all the resources have been invested in the research institute. Is that true?"
"This … it's true!"
Xia Hu You nodded and said, "Their department … No, I should say your department now, is very poor! A research institute almost dragged you guys down. It shouldn't have been like this. Back then, you guys received a lot of resources for the integration of Shenwen's characteristics.
"In the end … I don't know what Instructor Hong Tan was thinking. He insisted on researching something else. In the end, after decades and countless resources have been invested, there have been no results. Now, you guys are so poor that you can barely eat …"
Xia Hu You said regretfully, "Otherwise, your department would still be very rich."
"Our department …" Su Yu hesitated and said, "You guys keep saying that, but I don't understand. What is our department?"
"Shenwen's Integration Faculty!"
Xia Hu You smiled and said, "That's what people call it. You should know that although the Faculty of Theology studies Shenwen, under normal circumstances, three to five Shenwen's are enough. Some even just have one. One Shenwen's strength means everything!"
"But your department likes to draw many Shenwen's. This many … is not just a lot!"
Xia Hu You said, "It's a lot. Before Bai Feng's Soar, he seemed to have drawn 12 Shenwen's. Drawing one Shenwen's takes a lot of time. He also has to nurture and strengthen it. Drawing so many Shenwen's, if not for his great talent, Soar … Just you wait!"
"That's why there aren't many people on your side. There are also very few Soar's."
Xia Hu You said in a low voice, "There were quite a few in the past. Later, some people couldn't take it anymore and felt that it was a waste of time, so they ran away! In your department, there are less than 10 Shenwen's. Usually, you won't be given Soar's. Even if you can get Soar's, you won't be given Soar's. Who can stand it? "
Su Yu frowned and said, "Must it be like this? You can obviously get Soar's. Why don't you give Soar's? Can't you draw Shenwen's after Soar's? "
"How would I know? There are too many factions in the school. Each faction has its own trump card. Some things will not be revealed to outsiders."
Xia Hu You shrugged and said, "That's why your department is not considered strong in the Faculty of Theology. But with Elder Hong, your position is considered high. In the past, you could still take in some students every year. Later, more people ran away and you don't take in people anymore. "
Once you take in people, you need to spend some resources to nurture them.
In the end, halfway through, the people ran away and the initial investment was all wasted.
In the later stages, Hong Tan's department naturally did not take in students anymore.
One of the reasons why Bai Feng could take in two students was that his department had always been empty. He did not take in anyone.
"Ran away …"
Su Yu murmured and asked, "Is it okay if they ran away?"
Xia Hu You laughed and said, "Under normal circumstances, of course, they can't run away. But you don't give them Soar's. You can't do anything if they run away. The school will not let the geniuses delay their time and be stuck before they can materialize. Elder Hong has good eyes. A few students ran away and they all materialized Soar's! "
Xia Hu You laughed and said, "Now there are a few official researchers in the school. They were all from your department. There are also a few teaching assistants! But … Bai Feng usually ignores them. Their relationship is not good. He does not admit that they are from your department. "
"Then how many people do we have on our side?"
Su Yu was curious. How many people were in Bai Feng's department?
"Let me think …"
Xia Hu You calculated for a while and stretched out a chubby palm.
"What do you mean?"
"Five!"
Xia Hu You laughed and said, "Including you, five!"
"Huh?"
Su Yu was stunned. "You mean, there were only four in the past?"
"Yes!"
Xia Hu You laughed and said, "Elder Hong, Bai Feng, and one of Bai Feng's seniors is now an official researcher in Ling Yunjing. He also took in a student. Including you, there are five!"
Su Yu's face turned green.
Five people counted as one department?
He thought that Bai Feng's side was a big one!
But … there were only five people? And he had to count himself!
"How can there be so few? Elder Hong has been in the school for so many years …"
Xia Hu You was speechless. "Didn't I say? There are no resources to nurture them! They have spent money on the research institute and their requirements are very high. Shenwen did not have enough sketches and did not give Soar. Eventually, they left and Elder Hong did not want to take in any more disciples. How can there not be a few? "
"But …"
Su Yu did not know what to say!
However, five people were too few.
"That's good!" Xia Hu You comforted him. "Actually, it's quite good. Think about it from another perspective. With fewer people, there will be less infighting and disputes. The competition is not big. Elder Hong is back and often gives you guidance. If it were other big factions, hehe, who would have time to care about you!"
"On Principal Zhou's side, he has dozens of students of his own, hundreds of students of his students, and thousands of people in one faction … Do you think Principal Zhou has the time to deal with those people?"
Xia Hu You comforted him. "Other than being a little poor, everything else is fine. Moreover, you are not really poor! Just look forward to it. When Elder Hong can't continue his research anymore, he will sell the research institute … Tsk tsk, at least a few hundred thousand merit points. You can share some of it and you will be rich! "
"…"
Su Yu glanced at him. Why did his words sound so awkward?
It felt like entering this faculty with me was like waiting for a share of the inheritance!
Xia Hu You did not care what he thought. He chuckled. "It's true. Many people wanted to enter this faculty because they wanted to wait for it to go bankrupt! When Elder Hong can't take it anymore, he will sell the research institute or announce it to the public and recruit people to invest. Then, he will be rich and rich!
"What a pity. After waiting for decades, there is still no result."
Su Yu asked curiously, "Then why not announce it to the public?"
He felt that it should be fine to let more people join.
After all, the research results had to be reported to the school.
"There are many reasons. First, Elder Hong has high requirements. Not everyone is willing to work with him.
"Second, the price is too high. In the past, when someone wanted to invest, Elder Hong asked for dozens of gods and demons … Whole corpses are better!
"Third, Elder Hong is picky. Ordinary people are not allowed to enter. If you want to send someone in, you have to outline 10 Shenwen and above, and I mean before Soar. Otherwise, you will not be allowed to participate in the project. Who can agree to that?"
Xia Hu You sighed. "After so many years, no one has been able to find a partner. No one can accept his conditions, so we are in a stalemate."
Su Yu somewhat understood.
He also vaguely understood that Bai Feng's branch was really rich. Unfortunately, this money was not in cash.
It was all in the research institute!
As for how much exactly they had spent, it was probably an astronomical figure. Otherwise, a Mountain Sea realm cultivator, Ling Yun, and a Soar wouldn't keep idle people. Before Su Yu, there was only one student, so how could they be so poor?
Hundreds of thousands of merit points … Xia Hu You said that selling the research institute for hundreds of thousands of merit points might not be a lie.
A Mountain Sea realm cultivator had spent decades on a single project, and the price he had paid for it was astonishingly high.
A few decades, not to mention anything else, just fusing with the Essence Qi liquid was enough to make a huge profit.
Five people …
Su Yu thought again, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Too little!
Exhaling inwardly, Su Yu thought for a moment and said, "Another question. Is there someone targeting our branch?"
"Hmm?"
Xia Hu You glanced at him. Bare One's Teeth smiled, coughed lightly, and said, "It's hard to say. I'm not too sure about that."
"What's hard to say?"
Su Yu said solemnly, "You even know some secrets. I don't believe you don't know this!"
Xia Hu You said embarrassedly, "It's really hard to say. This thing … will offend people if I say it."
"You've already said it. Do you think I won't know if you don't say it?"
Su Yu said gravely, "If you hide it, you'll offend me. It's not worth it, is it?"
"You …" Xia Hu You said helplessly, "This information costs money. Forget it, I'll give it to you for free a few times. If you ask me about this again, I'll really charge you!"
As he spoke, Xia Hu You said, "This can also be considered a grudge between the older generation. Strictly speaking, it's something that has existed since the time of the Five Academy Heads! However, it developed to its peak 50 years ago, and even almost affected the entire academy …
"I really don't know the specifics. The people back then were also very secretive! All I know is that Instructor Liu Wenyan was expelled from the academy. He was not the only one. Many of the older generation's geniuses were expelled as well! "
Xia Hu You said in a low voice, "Back then, Shenwen integrated the Shenwen faction. It was very popular in the academy. During the five Academy Heads' era, this faction was the mainstream of the academy! Principal Zhou and the rest were all considered Shan Shenwen faction. Of course, there's not only one Shan Shenwen faction. In any case, there are usually no more than 10 of them …
"I heard that during the five Academy Heads' era, they were heavily suppressed. Or rather, they were not suppressed. They felt that Shenwen faction did not have many geniuses, and they did not provide many resources. In any case, they were miserable. In the end, the Shenwen faction suffered a setback, and a large number of geniuses were crippled. Instead, they rose … You know, it's a grudge that has lasted for many years. Can both sides reconcile?"
Su Yu roughly understood. Back then, Principal Zhou and the rest of Shan Shenwen faction were considered trash. During the five Academy Heads' era, they had been suppressing them, or rather, ostracizing them.
In the end, the Shenwen faction was finished. Their geniuses were crippled, and Principal Zhou and the rest rose. Naturally, they would not be polite to the Shenwen faction.
"Principal Zhou … Principal Zhou Mingren?"
Su Yu murmured. Connecting the clues together, he soon deduced some things.
He thought about what Xia Hu You said just now. The other faction had thousands of people, but your faction … only had five!
Su Yu did not know whether to laugh or cry. How tragic.
It seemed that the so-called "Shenwen Integration Faculty" was worse than the Weaponsmithing Faculty. There were still many people in the Weaponsmithing Faculty.
50 years ago, geniuses were expelled …
Su Yu thought of Liu Wenyan and thought to himself, "Was Teacher also a genius back then?"
Was he expelled from the academy?
If that was the case, why did he still nurture students for the academy all these years?
Didn't he hate him?
Or could it be that there were some things that he did not understand?
Su Yu thought about it until his head hurt, so he stopped thinking about it.
Let Elder Hong and Bai Feng worry about these things. The current him did not have the qualifications to worry about these things. He was only worried that he would be implicated and delay his cultivation.
However, seeing that Bai Feng was still alive and well, Su Yu was not so worried anymore.
Both sides might have a conflict, but since Bai Feng could survive and even become a genius teaching assistant, Su Yu naturally would not be too bad.
...
That afternoon, Su Yu started to rest and build up his energy.
He recovered his vitality and prepared to open the Wan Shi Realm Atlas.
If he swallowed the Wan Shi Realm blood essence and the atlas didn't absorb it, he would be seriously injured.
Normally, a Thousand Jun Realm cultivator could only swallow the blood essence of a Thousand Jun Realm cultivator to cultivate.
Moreover, Su Yu was not Qian Jun, but Kaiyuan.
If the atlas didn't absorb the Wan Shi Realm blood essence, he would be in big trouble. The powerful energy of the blood essence might impact his body. His body might not explode, but he would definitely be seriously injured.
Until night time, Su Yu's heart calmed down. He looked at the Ironwing Wan Shi Realm blood essence in front of him and fell into deep thought.
Five drops of blood essence, all of which were Wan Shi Realm blood essence.
As for whether it was level one or level three, it was not easy to judge. The energy fluctuation of the blood essence was similar within a small realm. Unless the creator marked it, ordinary people would not be able to tell.
"I hope it's level one of Wan Shi Realm..."
Su Yu did not expect it to be level three. Level one would be better.
Level three, with his current strength and physical strength, even if he opened it, he might not be able to withstand it.
Whether it was the eruption of strength or the absorption of vitality, it was a little hard to bear.
Level one, he could give it a try.
Thinking of this, the next moment, Su Yu gritted his teeth, picked up the bottle, poured out a drop of blood essence, and directly swallowed it!
"Boom!"
The power of the blood essence exploded as soon as it entered his body.
A powerful force quickly collided in his body. In a moment, Su Yu felt like his body was about to explode, and drops of fresh blood appeared on his skin.
The next moment, this powerful force suddenly disappeared!
In his mind, the golden picture book flickered slightly.
Su Yu's face was red, and he panted heavily. The instantaneous eruption of power from Wan Shi Realm blood essence was still too much for him to handle.
…
At the same time.
In a house in Xiuxin Ge.
Wan Tiansheng was reading a book when his gaze suddenly turned to the Nature Nurturing Garden. He frowned slightly and murmured, "What kind of power is this..."
The next moment, he was still holding the book in his hand, and he had already appeared in the sky above the Nature Nurturing Garden.
He looked around, and soon, his gaze landed on Block 3.
"Freshman, Su Yu?"
"Devouring Wan Shi Realm blood essence to cultivate?"
"Special Shen Wen Realm power?"
"Liu Wenyan... inherited that Shen Wen Realm power?"
Wan Tiansheng murmured, not too sure. The Shen Wen Realm's Fusion Element had a deep understanding of Shen Wen, and it was also very mysterious. Ever since the leader of the Fusion Element, Liu Wenyan, was expelled 50 years ago, the Shen Wen Realm's Fusion Element had actually declined.
"Su Yu..."
A top-class genius. Wan Tiansheng would not completely ignore him. At this moment, he paid more attention to him.
Liu Wenyan had sent many people over, but there had been no changes over the years.
Tonight, in the Kaiyuan Realm, Su Yu devoured Wan Shi Realm blood essence to cultivate. This was very special!
The instantaneous energy fluctuation just now was not the power of the blood essence, but another type of power. It was extremely special, and that was why he paid attention to it.
"Special Shen Wen Realm?"
"The Shen Wen Realm after Fusion?"
"Or... something else?"
Wan Tiansheng fell into deep thought. The next moment, he smiled and floated away.
The Shen Wen Realm had been low-key all these years. Was it ready to erupt this time?
It was good for them to erupt. He hoped to see this Realm could erupt. They had been silent for too long. If they continued to be silent, this Realm would soon be destroyed.
As for Su Yu... he would observe him more in the future.
If it involved that Shen Wen Realm power and he interfered, Hong Tan would probably not let it go if he knew.
Hong Tan, Wu Yuehua, and several other Gelao were all paying attention to Liu Wenyan.
Although he was not in the academy, as the leader back then, many people were still waiting for his return. At this time, he was not in the mood to fight with them. He would let Zhou Mingren worry about it!
