“Of course.” Liu Hong said, “How can I lie about this? You can ask Shang Tianjiao about it if you doubt me. I won’t lie. Shang Tianjiao isn’t a fool. And she’s an Invincible descendant. I’m not suicidal enough to scam someone like that.”
This was unexpected. Was this fellow telling the truth? He sold the same thing to Shang Tianjiao before? And he was right. Only someone suicidal would try to scam an Invincible descendant with a fake secret technique.
Also, why did Shang Tianjiao buy it? Was she doing it for Shan Xiong? Or was it for Great Shang? Su Yu was getting more and more confused. Had his teacher and grandteacher really leaked the disassembly method?
“This is a big transaction. I need to think about it…”
Liu Hong shook his head and sighed, “Forget about it. I’ll be entering seclusion soon. This is why I’m trying to prepare a large amount of resources for my cultivation. My body is going to reach the Cloudbreach Realm soon. I need a lot of resources, including a large amount of blood essence. That’s why I’m trying to sell this thing. But I guess you will be missing out on this, after all. Brother Cui, I can only hope that you will keep this secret for me even if you’re not buying.”
“Seclusion?”
Physical advancement into the Cloudbreach Realm? That was a good reason. Perhaps this fellow was really going to advance soon. His growth sure was fast. It hadn’t even been that long since he broke through his willpower cultivation.
“How about this? Show me the start of the method. I need to see something before I can proceed with the trade, right?”
Liu Hong hesitated slightly before answering, “Alright, but you can only see a tiny part of it. A secret art will not have much worth if it’s no longer secret.”
“Of course.”
Liu Hong wasted no time and imprinted something in an empty jade talisman and handed it over, “It will self-destruct after a single view. I’m not going to leave anything behind. This thing is still top secret right now. I can’t take any risks.”
“Don’t worry.”
Su Yu took a look at the jade. At first glance, it really felt like Bai Feng’s disassembly method. But after reading a few more lines of words, he exhaled in relief. It was different.
The crux of the disassembly method was its ability to take apart the fixed nodes of a character technique, allowing one to relocate or add more characters to the character technique.
As for Liu Hong’s version, it did mention the same concept in the beginning. But that was something everyone knew. The moment Liu Hong’s version touched on the actual method itself, everything was different from Bai Feng’s version.
Su Yu was actually feeling quite doubtful. Even though Liu Hong’s version was entirely different, it also made a lot of sense. Of course, Su Yu did not have the entire thing so he was unsure if the quality would remain after the initial parts.
But from the initial parts alone, this was really a very believable version. Its description and analysis of character techniques were spot on. Even an actual multiple character faction member like Su Yu couldn’t help but agree with what he was reading.
This was definitely written by someone with a deep knowledge about the multipler character faction. That person might even know the multiple character faction better than Su Yu. He looked at Liu Hong again. Did Liu Hong write this thing himself? If that was the case, his understanding of the multiple character faction would be truly deep.
“It looks reasonable…” Su Yu said, “How about this? I’ll give you an answer in three days. After all, I don’t have that much merit points on me. I need some time to gather the money if I’m buying.”
Liu Hong hurriedly replied, “That’s fine. Brother Cui, if you’re really buying, you can pay a deposit of ten thousand merit points first. Otherwise…I’ll feel too worried.”
“That…” Su Yu said, “I’m quite tight financially right now.”
“…”
Liu Hong stared silently. Fuck! So this fellow was merely babbling nonsense earlier when he offered 150,000 merit points? He was a damn liar! Was this fellow trying to pull a scam on him? With the opening price of 150,000 merit points, Liu Hong had thought that this fellow was really so rich. But it turned out that he couldn’t even afford 10,000 merit points?
Left speechless, Liu Hong stood up and said, “In that case, you can look for me again when you have the money.”
“Wait, Brother Liu, let’s talk about it…”
“No thanks.” Liu Hong started walking away, “Brother Cui, if you’re really interested, you can look for me during the next three days to buy it. In no later than five days, I’ll be entering seclusion so you won’t be able to find me anymore after that.”
After leaving those words behind, he left the teahouse.
Su Yu remained seated in the private room. After Liu Hong left, he frowned again. This fellow sure was brazen. He was actually scamming with a fake disassembly method. Was he lying when he claimed that Shang Tianjiao had bought a copy?
Also, what was up with that character technique? Su Yu’s head ached. He was finding it harder and harder to see through Liu Hong.
“Just what are you doing?”
Su Yu was very confused. Who exactly was Liu Hong? Was he doing this just for money?
After a while, Su Yu suddenly recalled something. He took out his voice transmission talisman and said, “Brother Lin, what have your teacher been busy with recently?”
“…”
Lin Yao was quite surprised to receive the message. It had been a while since he last got in touch with Su Yu. Wasn’t Su Yu supposed to be healing up in seclusion? And why was Su Yu asking about his teacher out of nowhere? Wasn’t his teacher a member of the Mutual Aid Club as well?
He was confused, but he did not delay his answer, “Nothing much. He has been cultivating as usual. Oh, right, there’s one thing. Not long ago, he applied to become a teacher of the Foreign Students Faculty. He will be in charge of conducting basic classes for the myriad race students. I don’t think he has been doing anything else.”
“Hmm?”
Su Yu blanked out. Just what was going on? Becoming a teacher at the Foreign Students Faculty? Was that fellow trying to use the same scam on the myriad race students as well? There were a lot of powerful students among the latest batch, including those from the divine and devil races. Could it be…no way!
Su Yu looked at Liu Hong’s departing back through the window. Had this fellow decided to throw all caution to the wind and scam as much as he could?
Invincible descendents, myriad race students, and rich individuals…
Had Liu Hong been getting in contact with such people as of late? For something that was supposed to be the disassembly method, if he quoted a reasonable price like ten thousand merit points or something, the rich individuals would be willing to buy it. They also wouldn’t think that Liu Hong would dare to scam them due to their background. What? Was he supposed to live the life of a fugitive after that one sale? Was he tired of living?
And since everything was thinking the same thing, he could totally earn a large sum of money by scamming them one after another. After all, none of his customers would tell anyone that they had purchased the disassembly method from the black market.
“Did I inspire him with what I did previously?”
Back then, Su Yu was able to earn a lot from scamming the single character faction with some fake information. Could it be that Liu Hong had carried his torch and was planning to do something similar?
If everything went smoothly, he could probably earn millions of merit points from this scam. Of course, the consequences would be grave. He couldn’t sell the disassembly method openly. And the powerful families he scammed also couldn’t go after him openly since that was an illegal transaction. But after offending so many people, he could forget about peace for the rest of his life.
“Has he gone mad?”
Su Yu couldn’t understand this. Just what was going on? Liu Hong had exposed even his character technique to earn a large amount of money. What was he trying to do? Even if he could earn a lot, he would be screwed for life.
While Su Yu was thinking about all that, Liu Hong arrived at a different restaurant with his face covered. There, a youth was waiting for him in a private room.
He softly asked, “Brother Zhang, have you reached a decision? Fifty thousand merit points. This is definitely a cheap price. I am taking a huge risk doing this. Since you’ve asked for a meeting, you must have decided.”
The youth stared at Liu Hong for a while before answering, “Fine. I’ll take it for fifty thousand. But…if it doesn’t work, you will have to bear the consequences. The Zhang Family will not let this go.”
“Of course. I don’t have enough courage to scam an Invincible family.”
Liu Hong spoke with a helpless tone, “I’m only doing this because I have no choice. If the single character faction finds out that I’ve formed a character technique, I’ll be in great trouble. This is merely an insurance for myself. The single character faction will probably kick me out very soon…”
The youth tossed over a merit card and coldly said, “Hand it over. These merit points have all been obtained through proper channels. And the card is a nameless card. You can use it freely as long as you make sure you don’t withdraw too much money at the same time and attract too much attention.”
“Sure.” Liu Hong smiled and tossed a jade talisman over, “The trade is complete. Brother Zhang, it doesn’t matter if you’ll tell anyone about this or not. I will never admit to being the one who has sold this to you.”
“That is only natural.”
The youth nodded and said nothing else. With the disassembly method in hand, he left in a rush. He had to get the seniors in his family to verify the authenticity of this method.
Liu Hong also left silently. After calculating his profits, he nodded in satisfaction. He had earned around three hundred thousand merit points thus far. There were a few additional whales considering his offer. If he could complete his transaction with all of them, he could probably earn as much as five hundred thousand merit points.
As for the myriad race students, he did not need to scam every last one of them. He only needed to scam about one out of ten students from each race and he would probably earn around a million merit points.
“I’m not lying. I’m really selling you guys a disassembly method. But I never said that I’m selling Hong Tan’s disassembly method, right? I’m selling Liu Hong’s disassembly method. I’m not lying.”
A million merit points could probably last him until the Sunmoon Realm and beyond. If everything went smoothly, that would probably be enough for him to even reach the Invincible Realm, provided he had the talent to climb that high.
