Chapter 656: Thanking Principal Niu Again (3)

Inside the room.

An idea struck Su Yu. Perhaps he could turn his book into some sort of converter. With the book and his acupoints, he would be able to produce a large amount of heavenly source qi.

"Instead of using the produced heavenly source fruit, I can gather enough to produce heavenly source fruits instead."

Su Yu's eyes lit up. Would that work? It was worth trying! It was then that Su Yu realized that there were a lot more things he could do with his book. He merely needed to discover them.

"With enough heavenly source fruit, I can cultivate any body forging art I want. I can even supply some to others. Perhaps I should start producing and selling heavenly source fruits as well?"

Su Yu decided to test it out immediately. He took out a drop of garbage iron-winged bird blood essence. He still had a lot of iron-winged bird blood essence left. To activate the body forging arts in his book, the blood essence must not be weaker than the Skysoar Realm as that was the realm one could start forging one's body.

After consuming the blood essence, he activated the Irong-Winged Nine Forging Art. That was a garbage art with only nine forgings. He did not mind. He hurriedly circulated the forging art in his body. And he immediately felt something.

The circulation route was somewhat similar to the iron-winged bird's Source Swallowing Technique. The acupoints of the Source Swallowing Technique started leaking some sort of energy. And as time passed, Su Yu finally sensed how different this energy was.

The faint energy circulated in his body before merging into his body, strengthing his body in the process.

"Indeed! It's the heavenly source qi! Body forging arts are actually complementary to cultivation methods!"

Su Yu finally understood why certain arts existed in sets. Those from a different set might not be fully compatible with each other, resulting in reduced efficiency.

"Can I extract the heavenly source qi without using it?"

The Irong-Winged Nine Forging Art was too garbage. Su Yu was not interested in cultivating it. He decided to give it a try. Bit by bit, the heavenly source qi seeped out of his acupoints. Su Yu tried pushing the heavenly source qi out of his body and surprisingly, it worked! But right after the heavenly source qi left his body, it dissipated into the air before turning fading into ordinary source qi.

Su Yu's eyes flickered. So was that the so-called heavenly source qi? It would rapidly transform into regular source qi after leaving the blood essence or the body it resided in. In that case, how did the divines and devils preserve the heavenly source qi inside their realms? Now that Su Yu had found a way to extract the heavenly source qi, he needed to solve the issue of preservation.

The moment he succeeded...he didn't even dare to imagine the benefits he stood to gain. Just imagine. Even the blood essence of the fire hog race could be converted into heavenly source qi. Even if each drop would not contribute much, it didn't matter due to how cheap each drop was.

Divine and devil blood essence? He no longer needed them. He only needed enough fire hog blood essence. At that time, wouldn't he be free to forge his body as he wished?

"Preserving heavenly source qi!"

Su Yu's eyes flickered. How should he do so? Suddenly, the little furball phased through the door and shot toward him.

Su Yu's expression changed. Before he could berate the little furball, the furball hastily said, "I smelled it! Yummy! The smell of my home! Yummy!"

"Hmm?"

Su Yu blanked out.

The little furball was starting to get anxious as he said, "Yummy! Sweet! No more! Poof!"

Su Yu was stunned. Heavenly source qi was something that could only be found in certain powerful realms. Some could be found in the Human Realm as well, but those areas had basically been monopolized by the two holy lands.

But there was heavenly source qi in this little furball's home? Right, wasn't his dad a Pseudo Emperor? Holy shit! Was this soul devourer race a super powerful race?

"I thought you only eat characters and willpower? Can you eat heavenly source qi as well?"

"Eat..." The little furball anxiously said, "Can eat! Will become strong!"

He could feed on heavenly source qi. If there was no location with thick enough willpower for his breakthrough, an area with thick heavenly source qi would do as well.

"Piss off! I don't even have any for myself!"

Su Yu frowned. He didn't even have a way to preserve the extracted heavenly source qi. How was he supply it to this little furball?

His eyes flickered as he thought of something. He hurriedly asked, "Furball, do you know how you can preserve this thing?"

"Huh?"

"It will dissipate instantly after coming in contact with the air around us. Do you know the way of preserving it?"

The little furball blinked in confusion before offering an answer, "Eat. Put in my belly. It will stay."

Su Yu stared at the little furball in understanding. "I see. Since Divine Characters are incorporeal in nature, they are probably capable of storing this thing."

The little furball might have offered the correct answer. He was an existence that was both corporeal and incorporeal. Thus, he could store the heavenly source qi in his stomach. Of course, there was no guarantee that Su Yu would be able to get the heavenly source qi that had entered the little fellow's stomach. Thus, he discarded that thought and pursued his new idea instead.

Divine Characters might be the perfect alternative. If he could solve the issue of preservation, he would be able to cultivate a powerful body forging art without worrying about blood essence.

Of course, he still needed Skysoar blood essence to activate the body forging arts in his book and extract the heavenly source qi, so it wouldn't be too cheap. It was time for him to earn more money! He had yet to receive the payment for the cultivation method he had sold recently.

"Make money. Make big money. Raise the furball. And rope in a few experts. I need some capable underlings. Then...I won't need to rely on others anymore. Perhaps it's time for the Mutual Aid Club to make a comeback."

The Single Eradication Club would do as well. He would try to keep hiding while issuing assassination missions through the club. That way, he could get others to do the things he couldn't do personally.

"I can even consider founding my own sect!"

Su Yu's eyes flickered as he continued contemplating. Of course, this was something he needed to do in secret. He could make use of some thugs and criminals. That way, he would be able to curb cultists with cultists.

The Six-Winged Divine Sect wanted to kill his martial uncle, right? How would they enjoy having their stronghold sacked by a different sect?

He would get his sect members to kill any Six-Winged Divine Sect member they saw, snatch their territories and steal their believers. There was nothing suspicious or complicated about it. Since the Six-Winged Divine Sect was being targeted by the authorities, it was only natural that other sects would try to take advantage of their weakness.

By himself, there were things he couldn't do regardless of how strong he was. For example, he needed proof of crime if he wanted to kill Yuan Qingdong. He had to stay alert against the reprisal of the Invincible behind Yuan Qingdong.

But...what if Yuan Qingdong was killed by the cult? Numerous thoughts appeared in Su Yu's mind.

"I am willing to abide by the rules, but some people are unwilling to play by the rules. The rules have been used to restrain me repeatedly, but the same is not happening to them. This shouldn't be happening. Since they can use the cult to kill me...why can't I do the same?"

Su Yu's gaze landed on the little furball. If he made use of this little fellow well, he could very well rope in some experts to his side. But he also needed to make sure that those he decided to rope in were people he could control.

He wouldn't mind recruiting even those who were wicked beyond redemption. At that moment, Su Yu's mindset was undergoing a subtle change. What was his main purpose of coming to Great Ming? To gain strength. And the strength of his underlings was the same as his strength.

He could have the Mutual Aid Club on the side of the law and the Myriad Race Cult on the dark side of society. In this manner, a lot more options would open for him. And he had the ability to do that if he wanted. Jin Sheng was right. Su Yu was someone capable of doing something other than fighting.

"Had Senior Brother Jin Sheng been trying to tell me this all along?"

Su Yu sank into thought. Did Senior Brother Jin Sheng receive the order of the principal or someone else to hint at him about this? Definitely! Su Yu finally understood!

It must be the principal. Previously, Principal Niu had advised him to weaponize his fame. And now, Senior Brother Jin had suggested that he start spreading his influence on both sides of the law. Sure enough, the principal was an old fox!

Thank the heavens for Principal Niu's wisdom!

Upstairs, Jin Sheng sneezed. He grumbled that his body must be failing him due to old age. Did he catch a cold out of nowhere?

As for the so-called hints he had given Su Yu, he was completely clueless about that.

At the same time.

Principal Niu was also frowning after his danger sense alerted him of something. Who was thinking about him?

That person seemed to be thinking about something very complicated. That person did not seem to be harboring any evil designs on him, but it still caused him to feel somewhat uncomfortable.

What happened? Just who was thinking about him?
