Tribulation of Myriad Races

A lot of thoughts rose in Su Yu’s mind. He said nothing else and tossed some paper and pen into the cages.

“Write faster if you want to write. If not, so be it. Do you guys know the human language? It would be better if you can write two copies. One in the original language and one in the human language…”

Immediately after, the white civet sullenly said, “Big Brother Su Yu, the intent of some cultivation methods can’t be expressed properly without willpower texts. Some cultivation tricks can’t be expressed with words alone.”

Su Yu believed that. There were actually a lot of cultivation methods like that. One would not be able to master them without actual willpower texts.

“Then just write down those that can be learned through words.” Su Yu didn’t mind. He casually tossed a drop of source qi liquid over and said, “White cat, you’re the most obedient so this is your reward.”

The white civet was overjoyed. She caught the drop of souce qi liquid with her mouth and nearly teared up from joy. Her life here had been too miserable. Which eighth-stage Skysoar would be so touched after receiving only a drop of source qi liquid?

“I’ll start writing…”

The white civet was too happy. She didn’t even bother using the pen. She dipped her claw into the ink and started writing with her claw instead.

“Big Brother, you need to turn off the barrier outside the cage if you want me to send this out of the cage…”

Su Yu glared at her. Who was she trying to trick?

“Try tossing it out.”

“It really won’t work. The defensive talismans will destroy it with lightning. These talismans only allow a one-way transfer of items.”

Su Yu thought about it and nodded. He said nothing. He went upstairs and returned shortly after.

In his hand was a jade recording talisman. He smiled and said, “Raise the paper and step forward. I’ll record a video of the cultivation method.”

The white civet was speechless. This fellow…was truly creative.

She obediently raised the paper and allowed Su Yu to record the contents. After a while, he nodded with satisfaction.

“Well done. I’ll try submitting this thing. If I’m rewarded, I’ll bring you something nice to eat.”

The suanni hurriedly said, “Su Yu…you promised to bring me some meat…”

“Sure.”

Su Yu agreed easily and left the prison zone.

After Su Yu left, the white civet sighed, “This isn’t working. Su Yu is too cautious. And he’s not stupid. If this continues, we won’t be able to survive for long.”

The suanni also complained, “I gave him a heaven-grade martial technique only to receive a few drops of source qi liquid. What a greedy person. This really can’t continue. Shadow, do you have any ideas?”

The shadow said, “Yes. Give him some blood essence. Mix our willpower in the blood essence. I know that some of you have the ability to regrow your body from a single drop of blood. As long as you can tempt him, you will have a chance.

“White civet, write more cultivation methods for him. Let him have a taste of the benefits he can get from us. Slowly reel him in. Human greed knows no limit. When he starts enjoying the benefits from us, his greed will grow. He will even start setting his eyes on our blood. He can record the cultivation methods. But can he record our blood? It is only a matter of time before he takes the bait. Take it slow. As long as he deactivates the talismans around the cages, we will be able to escape.”

The creatures then sank into silence.

Living area.

Su Yu was checking his recording. The white civet had written three cultivation methods. He skimmed through the three methods and sneered. These were all garbage methods. There were already copies of these methods in the Human Realm.

“Maybe I can still give it a try…”

He could test his luck and see if the academy would reward him for this. Even a small reward was still a new source of income for him. Furthermore, if he started doing this, he would have the perfect excuse in the future when he finally started selling the cultivation methods he obtained from his book.

He believed that quite a lot of people were aware that his grandteacher had imprisoned some creatures in the research center.

“This is good. I can make them my scapegoats so that I don’t have to explain my source of cultivation methods. Yes. They are my source!”

Su Yu wasn’t too worried about them. As for the matter of him opening the defensive talismans…dream on. He was only a Great Strength cultivator. These creatures were in the Skysoar and Cloudbreach Realms. They could easily kill him. He wasn’t that stupid. After packing up, he decided to leave for the grotto again.

“Perhaps I can start challenging the top 100 after cultivating the Time technique.”

Top 100 Ranking!

Su Yu inhaled deeply. His goal wasn’t the people at the bottom of the ranking. Rather, it was Huang Qifeng. He knew that the moment he entered the ranking, Huang Qifeng and the others would start targeting him.

In that case, he would use the chance to give them a good beating. The academy rules prevented the students from crippling or killing each other. But as long as his opponents weren’t dead and could still cultivate, he was free to injure them as heavily as he wanted.

He called a number and went straight to the point, “Silkwrym blood essence. I don’t care about the realm. Get me around 100 drops immediately. But if you can get some blood essence at the Skysoar Realm or above, you can gather less. How about the five elemental blood essence? I’m in need of them.”

Xia Huyou asked in astonishment, “You don’t mind blood essence at the Skysoar Realm and above?”

“Yes.” Su Yu answered, “But that only applies to the silkwrym blood essence. As for the others, focus on gathering Infinite Strength blood essence.”

“Sure.”

Blood essence at the Skysoar Realm and above were much easier to get. Of course, it would also be much more expensive. As a top 100 race, there were plenty of them on the Allheaven Battlefield.

“The silkwrym race is a top 100 race. I can get some of their Skysoar blood essence for you. But it won’t be cheap. For divine and devil blood essence, you need to pay over 1,000 merit points per drop. The silkwrym blood essence is cheaper, but you still need to pay 100 merit points per drop…”

“What? That’s very expensive.”

“That’s already a cheap price. Of course, if you’re willing to accept some fire hog blood essence, you can get them for 20 merit points per drop.”

“…”

Su Yu had nothing to say. Why would he want the blood essence of such a weak race?

He had tried consuming fire hog blood essence before. But it was so weak that it couldn’t even activate his book. It was totally useless!

“Then…try to get 10 drops for me.” Su Yu couldn’t resist complaining, “That’s too expensive. Even killing a Skysoar expert is only worth 100 merit points. Why is a single drop of blood essence worth that much as well?”

Xia Huyou said, “Brother, the reward for killing a Skysoar isn’t just the merit points. Blood essence can be considered as spoils of war. It doesn’t mean that you can only get 100 merit points from killing a Skysoar expert. Spoils of war can also be exchanged into merit points. You can definitely get more than 100 merit points after killing a Skysoar. Do you understand now?”

Su Yu was rendered speechless.

“Fine. Get 10 drops for me. How about the five elemental blood essence?”

“Yeah. I’ll send them over to you later. I already have all the blood essence you want. Two drops of Infinite Strength blood essence for each elemental race. For a price of 50 merit points per drop, you need to pay me 500 merit points for them. Including the other blood essence you’re buying, you need to pay me 1,500 merit points.”

Su Yu was unhappy about the prospect of spending money. After spending some time thinking, he asked, “By the way, what is the price of Skysoar blood essence of the mountaindrill bull race?”

“Decent, I suppose. The moutaindrill bulls are similar to the mountainbreak bulls. Both their blood essence are pretty good for body forging. Generally, those who couldn’t afford the more expensive blood essence would settle with mountaindrill bull blood essence. It is also ranked quite highly on the top 100 race. For a drop early-stage Skysoar blood essence, it’s only worth 60 merit points.”

“How about late-stage Skysoar?”

“That’s not cheap. Around 150 merit points per drop.”

“I can sell you some. Are you buying?”

“…”

Xia Huyou blanked out. Su Yu was selling?

Where was he supposed to get the blood essence?

But he immediately realized something. He said in astonishment, “Are you talking about the bull in your research center?”

“Yeah.”

“Don’t mess around. The mountaindrill bull race is capable of regrowing from a drop of blood. Not all of them have the same ability. Only those with their royal blood can do so. But you should still be careful.”

The look in Su Yu’s eyes changed. He had been worrying about the same thing previously. And it was obvious that the bull was…hehe, being quite dishonest with him. The bull had actually offered to exchange his blood essence for source qi liquid.

Su Yu was merely asking the question out of curiosity. In truth, he was not planning to deactivate the defenses in the prison zone anytime soon. Even if he was going to do so, he would only do it in Bai Feng’s presence. After all, his teacher was already quite experienced at harvesting those creatures.

“Ok. Got it.” Su Yu returned to the topic at hand and said, “Prepare my stuff. 1,500 merit points for all of them? Fine.”

He clenched his teeth.

Fine. It was just some money. It wasn’t like he had no money. If he needed to spend, he would spend. When he mastered the heaven-grade martial technique, he would start scam-cough, earning more money.

“After this purchase, I am only left with around 1,200 merit points. I need to be careful with how I spend them.”

Just like that, he had reached the bottom of 20,000 merit points. But he still had quite a lot of mountainbreak bull blood essence and willpower texts in hand. Thus, he was actually still rich. After all, he could sell all those things for quite a lot of money.
