Chapter 300: The Grotto Is Closed Again (3)

Meanwhile, outside the grotto.

Inside the building, Old Huang and Old Nie looked at the door connected to the grotto. The door had obviously trembled slightly. Old Huang’s expression changed. He looked at Old Nie and the two nodded before taking out a mirror.

Source Qi Mirror!

It was used to observe the situation within the Source Qi Secret Grotto. The two were not trying to pry on Su Yu. Rather, something odd had happened inside the grotto a moment ago. The moment they activated the mirror, a massive dot of light appeared on it.

Old Huang frowned and cursed, “That little bastard! Where did he get something like this? Is this a Sunmoon or Eternal item? Holy shit! I forgot to remind him that experts tend to repulse each other. Would the item he brought inside attract the rejection of the source character? The grotto might even end up crushing him to death.”

They instantly understood what was going on upon seeing the blinding dot of light. That little bastard had activated an incredibly high-level inheritance.

That was probably not the inheritance of a cultural researcher. Instead, it was related to the warrior path. Otherwise, the grotto would definitely react much more intensely. After all, the willpower inheritance of a cultural researcher could very easily get into a conflict with this Source Qi Secret Grotto.

Activating a willpower inheritance within a grotto was basically the same as trying to stack two spatial pockets together.

Old Nie rubbed his head helplessly and asked, “Where did he get this? Don’t even mention Bai Feng. I doubt even Bai Feng has something like this.”

After saying that, he waved his hand and shut the door of the building.

Outside, a student who was about to enter the building was dumbfounded. The researcher beside him was also stunned. The researcher yelled, “Old Huang, Old Nie, what are you doing?”

“We’re in a bad mood so the grotto is closed for business today.”

“I…”

That researcher felt like punching someone in the face.

“Are you targeting me?”

“Yes. We are. What can you do to us? Can’t we take a day off? Can’t we get a holiday? If you are so incredible, try forcing your way in.”

“I…”

That researcher was infuriated.

Damn it! When he came with his student a few days ago, these two were taking the day off. Today, they were taking the day off again! These old bastards were being too excessive! They were clearly targeting him!

“Just you wait!”

The researcher left angrily with his student. He had decided to file a complaint about the two old men.

Those two were closing the grotto down as they wished. They were being too unreasonable.

Inside the building.

Old Huang and Old Nie looked at each other before looking at the blinding dot of light on the mirror. They were greatly troubled. Old Huang helplessly said, “This brat is clearly an endless fountain of trouble. Each time he comes, he will bring us different troubles. I have never expected him to have something like this. What if he brings an Eternal character with him during his next visit and causes the entire grotto to explode?”

Old Nie said, “Just remind him after he comes out. Tell him to stop creating trouble for us. Just where did he get that thing? That is a martial technique left behind by someone who is no weaker than the Sunmoon Realm. When he said that he’s cultivating martial technique, I thought he was talking about the Skybreak Technique. But he was actually talking about this thing?”

They didn’t know exactly what Su Yu had brought into the grotto, but they were both experienced and knowledgeable people. Thus, they were able to easily judge that Su Yu had entered with a martial technique left by someone who was at least a Sunmoon expert.

And was that a heaven-grade technique?

That was very likely.

Old Huang’s eyes flickered as he said, “Among the pile of stuff the brat brought with him, I saw something familiar. Why did he take that thing here?”RreAd lat𝙚St chapters at nô(v)e/l/bin/.c/o/m Only

“What is it?”

“Hong Tan’s favorite book…”

“Mountainsea Peace Seeking Stratagem?”

“Yeah.”

“…”

They looked at each other for a while. Suddenly, they howled with laughter. Had Hong Tan missed out on a treasure? Yes. That was very likely. Su Yu’s inheritance had probably originated from that book.

As for Hong Tan, the two old men were willing to bet that Hong Tan was definitely unaware of that. They were confident enough in their guess that if someone challenged them to place a wager that required them to walk with their hands for the rest of their lives if they were wrong, they would still accept the bet.

As for Bai Feng, well, that idiot was most definitely completely clueless. He wouldn’t have sold the book otherwise.

Su Yu…was incredibly lucky. The two old men were incredibly shrewd. They were able to instantly reach the correct conclusion. If Hong Tan had known about this, he wouldn’t have left the book around randomly.

The two continued roaring with laughter for a while. Finally, Old Huang said, “I need to note this down. When I meet Hong Tan again, I will be sure to talk to him about this book. I need to praise him for his beautiful writings in this book. After all, this is a book that he has kept around for decades just to appreciate his own writings…”

“Hahahahaha! I can’t stop laughing. Heavens. Hahahaha!”

Old Nie was also laughing madly. He said, “Don’t do that. If he found out, he might grow so angry that he would explode where he stood. He might end up harming us with his self-explosion. As for Su Yu…”

Old Nie thought about it and said, “Everyone has their own fortune. If this is really a powerful martial technique…forget it. Neither Hong Tan or Su Yu can really decide on what to do with it. The creator of this technique might still be alive. It is not up to them whether they can start teaching the technique in the book.”

Old Huang nodded. That was true. The creator might still be alive. And situations where some geniuses were lucky enough to obtain some powerful techniques were actually not too rare.

It would be a bad idea for others to set their eyes on these techniques. After all, if the creator was still alive and the incident escalated, things could get really troublesome. It wasn’t like something like this had never happened before.

Back then, a certain genius had obtained a heaven-grade technique. And instead of being happy with cultivating the technique himself, the genius had also submitted the technique to his superiors for some merit points. Ultimately, the technique was made public to the masses.

Before long, a Sunmoon came knocking. It was fine if the genius cultivated the technique himself. After all, it was his own fortuitous encounter that had allowed him to obtain the technique.

But that genius had also published the secret technique created by someone else. Because of that, the genius couldn’t even be considered an indirect student of the expert anymore. In the end, that genius had all the acupoints he had opened through that technique crippled as punishment.

At that thought, Old Huang said, “Remind the kid when he comes out. He shouldn’t blindly spread the technique around without the permission of the creator. He might end up losing his life because of that.”

“He’s not stupid…” Old Nie laughed, “Don’t worry. But yeah, we should probably remind him. But these brats enjoy acting incredibly secretive the moment they stumble upon some good fortune, acting like they are thieves. What expression do you think he will have if we mention his secret directly?”

Old Huang grinned expectantly.

That would definitely be a beautiful sight to behold.

The kid had shocked them so many times. This time, it would be their turn to give the kid a good scare. He really wanted to see the kid turn pale with fright for once. Once again, the two old men smiled at each other.

Each cultural researcher would have their own fortune. Or to be precise, each expert would have their own fortuitous encounters. It would be too hard for one to grow into an expert relying only on one’s academy.

“I reckon a good show would unfold around the Top 100 Ranking after he leaves the grotto.”

Both of them reached the same conclusion. The kid was both talented and lucky. A secret that Hong Tan had not discovered for decades had actually been discovered by the kid almost immediately after receiving the book. If that wasn’t luck, what was luck?

For a genius to grow, talent was important. Effort was also important. But luck was just as important.

As the saying goes, 30 percent of success came from talent, 30 percent came from effort, and the remaining 40 percent came from luck. The two old men were looking pensive as they thought of that. They wondered if the multiple character faction was lucky or unlucky to receive a student like this.

They couldn’t help but suspect that if Hong Tan remained outside the academy for any longer, he would return to find that things had changed massively in his absence.

Inside the grotto.

Drop after drop of blood essence was consumed like water. And one leg acupoint after another was opened.

All 300 drops of them were late-stage Infinite Strength blood essence. They were much more effective and lasted much longer than early-stage Infinite Strength blood essence.

One, two…

The acupoints lit up one after another.

As Su Yu circulated his source qi in accordance with the Body Strengthening Art, his body was being strengthened while his acupoints were being opened. His physical body had reached a level that was far stronger than ordinary ninth-stage Great Strength cultivators.

For the Great Strength Realm, the strength of the physical body was the main focus. That was why the mountainbreak bull blood essence was such a popular blood essence. This blood essence made it easier for one to strengthen one’s body.

As for Su Yu, he was doing something even better: using the actual cultivation method of the mountainbreak bull race to strengthen his body.

One day and one night passed.

All 24 acupoints had been opened yet Su Yu still had a decent amount of mountainbreak bull blood essence left.

“All opened!”

Su Yu was overjoyed. Opening the acupoints of the first move was much easier than he had expected. That was mainly thanks to the willpower text. He could clearly feel the benefit of having a willpower text when opening his acupoints.

It felt as though he knew clearly what to do when opening these acupoints. Which acupoint to open, how to approach it, how to open it, he knew them all, as though he had opened these acupoints before. This was the benefit of having a willpower text.

Su Yu stood up and tried activating his leg acupoints. All 44 of them lit up. But the circulation of source qi through the newly opened acupoints weren’t too smooth. He wasn’t worried. He only needed to cleanse them with some clearbright bird blood essence later and they would be fine.

“Crush!”

With a roar, the acupoints erupted with power and his leg swept forth.

Bang!

His source qi blasted forth before creating a source qi cyclone in front of him.
