Tribulation of Myriad Races

Chapter 1605: Su Yu’s Acting Skill (3)

Once again, everyone felt that Su Yu was here to show off his wealth. But what could they do about it if he was really so rich?

Su Yu continued walking nonchalantly. After a while, he said, “Great Qin King, are there any good senior pillmasters here in the Human Realm?”

“Pillmasters?” Great Qin King asked, “How good is good enough for you?”

“Well, someone capable of producing peak earth pills or even heaven pills.”

“We don’t have someone like that.” Great Qin King shook his head and said, “We have fewer pillmasters than weaponsmiths. Furthermore, we don’t have a single pillmaster among our Eternals.”

With a look of regret, Su Yu took a cauldron out and sighed, “Looks like this heaven cauldron here won’t see any use. I was thinking of getting someone to refine some pills for me. What a pity.”

“…”

The eyes of the surrounding people nearly popped out of their sockets from shock.

The Invincibles were still able to remain calm, but the Sunmoons could no longer stay calm.

A heaven cauldron?

As Su Yu caressed the cauldron, he said, “Little Cauldron, show me some golden stripes.”

The cauldron seemed almost intelligent.

It revealed its 140 stripes without any hesitation.

“What?”

“This…is a peak heaven weapon!”

Finally, even the Invincibles couldn’t stay calm anymore.

Heavenly Forge King inhaled in shock and said, “This was initially a middle heaven cauldron, but it must have bathed in earthfire for countless years, growing stronger with the passage of time. This is an invaluable treasure!”

Invaluable treasure.

A heaven weaponsmith had called it that.

Su Yu said, “I guess you can say so. What a pity that there is no qualified pillmaster around. I suppose I can only feed it to my book.”

After putting the cauldron away, Su Yu said, “I have another goal here. I wish to further grow my book, but I still lack some materials. Previously, Great Ming King helped with the heaven formation, while Prefect Niu helped with the talismans. However, my book lacks a set of sealing formations.”

Su Yu’s eyes shone brightly as he said, “I want a Mark of Civilization capable of sealing even Invincibles! I want a Mark of Civilization capable of sealing even the River of Time! I need the help of people proficient in the laws of time and sealing.”

Su Yu looked at the human Invincibles and said, “Senior Silk Destroying King and Senior Heavenly Seal King, are you willing to help me improve my weapon? I you repay this favor with worthy treasures.”

Worthy treasures. That was a very attractive offer after his recent display of wealth.

Silk Destroying King swallowed and asked, “And what treasures are you offering?”

Su Yu laughed and said, “Well, they are probably too cheap to catch your eyes…”

Then, Su Yu took several items out.

“I have some solidwater pearls here. These pearls are good for nine transformations and body forging. They aren’t too valuable, but I have enough of them. I am willing to offer each of you a ton of these pearls.”

A ton!

Initially, Silk Destroying King wasn’t too impressed. But after hearing the actual offer, his jaw dropped.

Was this real?

A ton?

“I have some heavenly source fruits here as well. Or to be precise, the quality of heavenly source qi in these spheres are comparable to what you can get from actual heavenly source fruits. I can also offer each of you ten thousand of them.”

Ten thousand.

All the Invincibles were shocked.

Was this real?

Heavenly source fruits? Ten thousand of them?

“I also have some Sunmoon blood essence here. This is quite useless for you, and unfortunately, I don’t have an impressive quantity of them. However, I can still offer each of you three hundred drops.”

“…”

Silence descended. Nobody knew what to say anymore.

Su Yu said, “Naturally, these are merely the minor rewards. When my teacher completes his heaven weapon, I’ll give each of you three heaven weapons. I have enough dragonbind wood here so it won’t be an issue for us to get some heaven weapons out of them.”

“…”

Su Yu said, “I only have one request. I want the formation to have the ability to seal the River of Time on demand. I don’t need it to be capable of sealing too strong an expert. I’ll settle for sealing sixth or seventh-degree Eternals for at least one second.”

Silk Destroying King inhaled deeply and asked, “Sixth or seventh-degree Eternal? For an entire second? That is nearly impossible!”

This would be an extremely difficult task.

Su Yu said, “Sure, we can shift the concept away from sealing. But I need to at least slow the activation of their River of Time. I don’t need this formation to do anything to the Invincible. I only need to delay the River of Time or stop it. I’m not targeting the Eternal directly. The difficulty for that would be too high.”

When Great Qin King heard that, he asked, “Silk Destroying, Heavenly Seal, is this possible? A formation like this won’t be too useful for us, but it’s extremely helpful for Su Yu.”

That was true. Delaying or sealing the Rivers of Time of sixth or seventh-degree Eternals was pointless for them. They would either be strong enough or not strong enough to kill such opponents. But such a formation would be game-changing for Su Yu.

Silk Destroying King sighed and said, “It will be very difficult. We also need Great Ming King’s help for this. He needs to produce the foundation for the formation while Heavenly Seal King will prepare the sealing method. I will assist, providing them with the power of time. This is the only way we can even hope to complete such a formation.”

Heavenly Seal King thought about it and nodded, “I’m open to try.”

Su Yu smiled and said, “Junior Zhou King, you’re pretty good at time manipulation as well. Are you interested in helping? Your cooperation with Silk Destroying King will definitely produce something better. You’re good at accelerating time. You can help hasten the activation of this formation. You were a good friend of my great grandteacher, Ye Batian. I believe this little favor is nothing for you.”

At the mention of Ye Batian, everyone sank into silence.

Not far away, Junior Zhou King glanced at Su Yu and agreed calmly, “Sure.”

Su Yu said, “Thank you, Senior. Also, I might need more help from you. I have been trying to form new characters, but the process has been annoying. I understand that Great Zhou has developed a way to produce artificial characters. Could I visit the production site? Naturally, I won’t do this for free. You are free to name your price for this.”

Su Yu offered generously, “Just tell me what you want. If it’s something I don’t have, I can buy or trade for it. I only want to see the process once.”

Junior Zhou King said, “We need to discuss this before giving you an answer. You might need to wait a bit.”

Su Yu smiled, “That won’t be an issue. Thank you. I only hope that I can learn the method of producing artificial characters. That would be such a useful thing to know.”

Great Zhou King chuckled and said, “It’s merely an insignificant trick. The cultivation methods you produced back then were a lot more useful. This production method of ours has many weaknesses. You will understand after visiting the site once.”

Su Yu said, “That doesn’t change how impressive it is.”

Each character was the manifestation of a law. Thus, the production of artificial characters represented a significant level of mastery over the laws. Or perhaps it involved some other tricks?

Su Yu was very curious.

For a moment, the atmosphere turned rather harmonious. Everyone coveted his wealth while he coveted the unique talents they had to offer. Just look at how he had solicited the help of Heavenly Forge King, Heavenly Seal King, Junior Zhou King, and Silk Destroying King with a formation right after arriving.

This was excellent. He could only hope that they would work hard.

As Su Yu thought about the matter, the smile on his face widened. Beside him, Great Zhou King looked at him thoughtfully before smiling as well. With the addition of Great Zhou King’s smile, the atmosphere seemed even more harmonious than before.

Meanwhile, Great Qin King had returned to thinking about the nine-leaf skylotus. Eight petals? How was that possible? Also, Su Yu sure was generous and rich. Why would he waste a petal by feeding it to that furball?

Did Su Yu discover more skylotuses on the eighth level?

Great Qin King was greatly confused.

Su Yu did not look like he would explain the matter. He only needed everyone to know that he was rich enough to use the nine-leaf skylotus as furball feed. Thus, it wouldn’t be surprising for him to start selling the skylotus in the future.

Wasn’t it normal for him to sell some pet food for things he needed? He wanted everyone to know that he only had seven petals left. With so many people present, news of this would definitely leak.

A secret would cease being a secret the moment it was known by more than one person. A secret known by a group of people wouldn’t take long to become an open secret to everyone.

At that thought, Su Yu’s smile widened further. This whole thing might have looked like a regular conversation, but he had practiced saying these words many times before. And now, he had finally completed his performance.
