Chapter 672: 72-Forged Iron Devourer (2)

After learning so many new things, it was time for Su Yu to start extracting heavenly source qi.

Looking at the fruit in front of him, he said, "Senior Brothers, the skin of this fruit feels quite special. Is it possible to replicate it?"

Wen Zhong laughed, "Sharp eyes. I thought you would only focus on the heavenly source qi. This skin is also a treasure. Since it is capable of storing even heavenly source qi, if it can be mass-produced, it can also be used to store treasures. Since it is produced by nature, it will be quite hard to replicate. But it's not completely hopeless..."

Wen Zhong had barely said those words when Su Yu poked a hole through the skin and sent the fruit toward Wu Lan right as heavenly source qi started leaking. Before Wu Lan could react, the heavenly source qi entered her mouth.

Su Yu nonchalantly said, "Open a few acupoints. Don't waste the heavenly source qi."

He took the skin, ignored Wu Lan's shocked expression and the naughty smiles on his seniors, and said, "Senior Brothers, I'll have to trouble you to replicate this thing. This might be something very useful. We can use it to store treasures, source qi, or even willpower."

The others nodded. Wen Zhong said, "Sure. We'll give it a try. We're quite free recently anyway."

Su Yu said, "Feel free to let me know if you need any money for the research. Any problem that can be solved with money won't be a problem."

He was now rich. A large amount of money was going to enter his account soon. He would be fine if he used his heavenly source qi for himself. But if he wanted to share some of the heavenly source qi with others, he needed a proper excuse and a way to produce fake heavenly source fruits.

Heavenly source fruits might be rare, but they weren't nonexistent. If he released his fake fruits in moderation, he would only attract some suspicion at most. But with the rumors that he had inherited a ruin, nobody would suspect him too much. All the blame would go to the so-called ruin.

Su Yu even wondered if there were ruins out there with heavenly source fruits inside. How about the ruins that had produced the first batch of human Invincibles? Were those ruins still around? Or would a ruin be destroyed after the advancement?

It wouldn't be easy to get these questions answered. After all, if one started these questions, those Invincibles would start suspecting that someone was plotting against them.

The old men had nothing else to say. They all left to start researching the skin. As for Su Yu's act of feeding the fruit to Wu Lan...they had nothing to say. They felt that it was a waste, but since Su Yu was willing, what could they say?

Wu Lan was already a Great Strength cultivator. Using the heavenly source fruit on her to open a few extra acupoints was basically a waste. She was better off using an earthly source fruit instead. It would seem like Su Yu had gotten too cocky after getting rich.

Su Yu did not care about what they were thinking. As Wu Lan sat down cross-legged to start opening acupoints, Su Yu walked away while taking out a voice transmission talisman.

"I'm going to have a talk with the Xia Family. Are you coming?"

A short moment later, Xia Huyou narrowed his eyes before smiling, "Did Teacher Su miss me?"

"Stop wasting time." Su Yu replied, "If you're coming, I need your help with something. Of course, you'll be amply rewarded for it." Discover new chapters at novelhall.com

"What is it about?"

"I need to make a purchase that nobody can know about."

"No problem. What purchase is it that you have to look for me instead of Great Ming?"

Su Yu smiled. It wasn't that he couldn't do it in Great Ming. Rather, Great Ming did not have that much blood essence in stock. Meanwhile, Great Xia was warlike enough that their blood essence market was very robust. Furthermore, Su Yu also didn't want to ask for Zhu Tiandao's help for every little thing.

"Mountainbreak bull blood essence."

Xia Huyou was completely speechless. He had not imagined that even after joining Great Ming, Su Yu was still looking for the same type of blood essence. Was he trying to milk the mountainbreak bull race dry? Just how had they offended him?

The cloud tiger blood essence had a decent conversion rate as well.

"Yes, we did. Do you want some?"

"Yeah."

"Sure. That's much simpler. I can get you as much as you want if it's cloud tiger blood essence."

Xia Huyou had a relaxed expression. That wouldn't be an issue. A lot of cloud tigers had survived the war. Most had escaped to the flying sky tigers' territory. Great Xia had no choice but to let these survivors go as the flying sky tigers weren't too weak. This was a race with Invincibles.

Nevertheless, they had still killed more than five thousand cloud tigers recently. The cloud tigers were understandably furious at Xia Qing and the others, but there was nothing they could do.

"Keep this secret. Fatty Xia, if you expose this, we won't be friends anymore..."

Xia Huyou said, "Don’t worry. We have a deal. I'll follow my second grandpa during his next visit to Great Ming. That way, I can take your stuff with me as well. Also, you tricked me! You released the cultural art for almost free not long after you gave it to me..."

"Piss off. The second version I gave you is different than the public version. You know that very well."

"..."

Xia Huyou had nothing to say to that. Shortly after, he said, "I'm reaching the ninth-stage Infinite Strength Realm soon. Before long, I'll start forging my body. Do you want to buy some divine or devil blood essence? Mountainbreak bull blood essence isn't good enough."

"Nope."

Xia Huyou rolled his eyes. Sure. Keep being stubborn. Or had Su Yu received some divine and devil blood essence from Great Ming? Whatever. He didn't care. Su Yu had probably grown greatly as of late. He was probably preparing to forge his body as well.

After thinking about it, Xia Huyou said, "I have one more thing to tell you. Your martial uncle left recently. He's a Mountainsea, so there's nothing I can do about that. But I will keep an eye over your senior sister for you. Don't worry about her. My point is, you need to be careful. There are rumors that you caught Lan Tian's eyes. That fellow is too good at concealment. Watch your back."

"Lan Tian?"

"Yeah. Previously, his student, Li Minyu, was exposed. After our investigation, holy shit. Guess what we found. Lan Tian was truly brazen. He had been hiding in the academy. Guess who was he disguised as?"

"I'm not guessing. Tell me the answer."

"Zhao Ming."

"..."

Su Yu sank into silence. After a long while, he asked, "Is this a joke?"

"Why should I joke about that? After Li Minyu's exposure, Teacher Zhao Ming went missing. We are only suspecting him because we don't have solid proof. But that is very likely to be the case. Holy shit. I shiver each time I recall how we used to play card games together in the Source Soul Research Center."

"Teacher Zhao Ming has been in the academy for many years, right?"

"Yeah." Xia Huyou had an impressed tone as he said, "Isn't that scary? He is a group leader in the House of Hundred. A core figure in the neutral faction. He even stayed with us for a period of time. Nobody suspected him. Even after Li Minyu's exposure, nobody suspected him. He decided to leave by himself. I guess he's looking for you. Nobody would have suspected him otherwise."

How terrifying.
