Tribulation of Myriad Races

Chapter 1343: Life Death Fruit (1)

Numerous gazes landed on Su Yu, the owner of 136 slots.

Could he even find so many people from the ancient cities to enter the mansion? Unlikely. Rather than wasting the extra slots, he would be better off selling them.

The major races, such as the divines, devils, and immortals, had enough slots after winning about six hundred slots each. However, the minor races were still in need of slots. For the major races with enough slots, buying more slots at high prices wouldn't be worth it. But the minor races were more than willing to pay to enter the mansion.

Of the 3,240 available slots, the divines, devils, and immortals had received almost 1,800 slots. The humans had received 420 slots while the dragons had received 300 slots. Su Yu had received 136 slots and the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion had received 40 slots.

That left about 500 slots for all the other races. The ancient races alone had snatched a majority of the remaining slots. Thus, very few slots were left for the minor races. If even a major organization like the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion had only received forty slots, one could imagine just how difficult it was for the others to get one of these slots.

In truth, Su Yu did not lack many things at the moment. He only lacked a proper cultivation method, with his source qi being much harder to transform than normal. Additionally, he was still quite lacking in many aspects of his willpower cultivation. For example, he needed more willpower treasures.

He wasted no time. With a smile, he said, "Do you need to hold a token to enter the mansion?"

The white-haired divine king answered, "Yes. The mansion has been surrounded by the various races. Even the humans are there. Don't you know this?"

Su Yu answered, "How am I supposed to know? I'm not a mayor of the human race. I'm a mayor of the holy cities. So you guys are surrounding that place? I'll be sure to send Grand Dream City over later. He will stand watch alongside you guys."

He laughed before continuing, "Since you need tokens to enter, give me my tokens first. This will prevent any confusion at a later date."

The white-haired divine king did not bother to argue. With a casual wave of his hand, a pile of tokens flew out. Su Yu had thought that the major races would try to create some trouble again, but surprisingly, they were very cooperative this time.

The tokens looked perfectly ordinary, apart from the fact that some of them had the auras of some Invincibles on them.

Great Zhou King said, "These tokens are meant to open the seals outside the entrances. There will be a seal covering each entrance. Nobody can enter forcefully. These tokens are essentially keys."

Understanding dawned on Su Yu. He said, "Thank you, Great Zhou King."

136 slots.

He did not hold back. After pulling a random token out, he said, "The sale starts now. I don't need so many slots. I might earn more just selling these slots than what you could earn inside the mansion. Don't worry. It's very cheap. For the first token, I require ten first-stage Sunmoon characters. A second-stage character will be considered as two first-stage characters. Double that number for each increment in stage."

Everyone looked at each other in surprise. Great Zhou King asked, "Why do you need so many characters?"

Su Yu answered with a smile, "Cultivation. The willpower you get when smashing characters apart is very pure. It is very good for cultivation. Don't you know this, Great Zhou King?"

"..."

Invincible or not, everyone was stunned.

Fuck!

Cultivating by smashing Sunmoon characters? Was this guy crazy? Right, he was a madman. How could they forget this? First-stage Sunmoon characters were very valuable. But...they were also quite ordinary at the same time.

Generally, Invincibles would form some additional characters when they had the time even if they weren't cultural researchers. Most of these characters would be Sunmoon characters. The people from the major races were surprised to hear that Su Yu was going to trade his slots for characters that he could use for his cultivation. This was something they had never expected.

Before long, a large, golden bird asked, "Mayor Su, rather than cultivating with characters, you should use blackwood lotus, sevenstar purple orchid, jadespring fruit, and other similar treasures suitable for cultivation. With these treasures, your willpower will be purer. You also don't have to worry about having the willpower of others pollute your willpower."

Su Yu asked in surprise, "Do you have these treasures? I know about them, but they are too rare. Characters are a lot more common. Anyone can cultivate some. If we kill all the Sunmoons and Invincibles present, we can probably gather thousands of them..."

Was he even listening to himself? So he was only after convenience?

They had thought that he was scheming something big with these characters. So convenience was the only reason? Was he being serious here?

Su Yu seriously said, "Also, those treasures are too hard to value..."

The Heaven Department head said, "Elder Su, since you're an elder of the pavilion, we can naturally value these treasures for you. There is no need to worry about this, Elder Su."

After a slight pause, he added, "If you want, you can always have the pavilion act as your agent in selling these slots. We will only take a five percent commission from the sales."

Su Yu laughed, "Forget it. I'm not even planning to sell these slots for crazy prices. I can't have everyone calling me greedy, right? Rather than let the pavilion take a commission of five percent, I might as well give my buyers a discount of five percent. Am I right? With this, everyone will believe that I'm a kind person. Everyone will thank me!"

"..."

Thank his ass!

Su Yu was all smiles as he continued, "Fine. I accept anything that is helpful for willpower cultivation. My willpower cultivation is too terrible. I only have some fourth-tier characters. This is incompatible with my strength and status. Thus, I need to have some Sunmoon characters as well. The first token will be cheaper. As for the subsequent tokens, the price will increase by one character per token sold."

"I'm buying!"

The same golden bird shouted. After tossing three stalks of an unknown plant over, the bird said, "Three sevenstar purple orchid. They are definitely comparable to ten first-stage Sunmoons in value. You can check with the pavilion if you want to be sure."

Su Yu smiled and looked at the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion. There, a faceless elder said, "That is true."

Su Yu smiled, "Thank you for your business. Let me give this flower a try."

Then, he took one of the flowers and stuffed it into his mouth. Instantly, a thick burst of willpower surged into his sea of willpower. In the blink of an eye, one of his few remaining third-tier characters advanced to the next tier. It was the meld character, a character he had rarely used.

Su Yu was very surprised. This flower was incredibly effective.

All the onlookers stared at him with stupefaction. Holy shit! Did he just eat that flower? Just like that? How...opulent of him. These treasures were rare even for Sunmoons. However, Su Yu was treating them as common fruits.

Su Yu ignored all the gazes on him. He happily ate the remaining two as well. Of his twenty-seven characters, a majority of them had reached the fourth tier. Some of his newer characters were still stuck below that. One of them was his recently formed culture character. It was quite a useful character for him. With the burst of pure willpower from the three stalks of orchids, he was able to rapidly grow these characters.

Everyone watched on while grimacing as he swallowed the incomparably valuable treasures one after another.

Not far away, Bai Feng grumbled, "What a wastrel! Why is he eating three sevenstar purple orchids raw? What a waste!"

The three orchids had only pushed three of his characters into the fourth tier. Even a single Sunmoon character could probably do better than this. In short, Su Yu had sold the slot for a value below that of a first-stage Sunmoon character. He was too wasteful. He could still grow all those characters by simply spending more time cultivating. Why was he wasting these incomparably precious slots for something like this?

Everyone stared at him speechlessly. They had to admit that he might be good at earning money, but he was also very good at spending money. And there was nothing they could do about it. He was willing to be so wasteful. What about it?

Were the major races willing to be so wasteful? Nope.

Initially, Great Zhou King and the other humans had planned to buy some slots from Su Yu as well. But after seeing how he was behaving, they gave up. He wasn't selling the slots for cheap at all.

While everyone stared, Su Yu ate, digested, and burped in the sky with three stone statues floating around him.

He said, "I have twenty-seven characters in total. Twenty-five of them are at the fourth tier. Two are still stuck at the third tier. I'll be selling two more slots for willpower treasures. When all of them are at the fourth tier, I'll consider selling my slots for some other treasures..."

Right after that, the same bird tossed three more stalks of orchids over and shouted, "Me!"

While burping, Su Yu said, "I love dealing with straightforward people like you, Lord. Which race do you come from? I will be sure to remember your race when I have more good things to sell in the future."

The golden bird replied, "Golden crow race."

Su Yu was surprised. So this was the golden crow race?

He had heard of this race before. He knew that this race was very strong. He had not been able to recognize the bird as he had never met one of them before. He said, "You're truly handsome and heroic, Lord. Thank you for broadening my horizons today. If you don't mind, can we take a picture together to remember this day?"

"..."

Was he crazy? The golden crow was rendered speechless. Picture his ass! What a nonsensical request.

But Su Yu was very serious about it. He explained, "In truth, my biggest wish in life does not involve murder and arson. Rather, I want to take pictures with the strongest experts among the myriad races. I wish to finish a myriad race memoir before I die. That's my greatest and last wish. With pictures, I will be able to write a better memoir. This will be something I can leave for the future generation."

The golden crow did not take those words seriously. But when Great Zhou King noted the serious expression Su Yu had, he started feeling doubtful.

Before he could think much, Su Yu continued, "I'm serious. I advise the next buyers to take a picture with me if you wish to buy from me. If possible, I wish to talk about history, life, and dreams with all of you as well..."

Everyone stared at him blankly.

Su Yu solemnly said, "I have been dreaming of making a memoir like this long ago. Please trust me. I'm not planning or scheming anything. I'm only doing this to commemorate my short life."

This was not a random idea of his. In truth, he had thought of something like this a long time ago. The inspiration came from his golden book. He wanted to make something similar that was more perfect than complete.

He had a feeling that the golden book in his mind was possibly incomplete. That was because some of the races he knew about did not exist in the book. The fire hog was one such race.

Was that because the fire hog race was too young to be recorded in the book? Did it not exist during the ancient past? Thus, he had the idea of collecting more information about the races missing from the golden book, including the specimens, blood essence, cultivation methods, and some other details about these races.

When that thought rose in his mind, the golden book reacted by trembling slightly, as though it had sensed something. In fact, as Su Yu explained to the crowd what he wanted to do, he reached a state of comprehension without realizing it.

And right before the numerous eyes, his willpower pulsed. The world itself seemed to warp slightly as a radiance character appeared in his mind. Then, the previously formed culture character came together with the radiance character.

Together, the two characters meant civilization.

Culture and radiance. The exploration of a civilization.

Explore the unknown. Search the future. The study of civilization. All realms and races were mere subjects of this field of study. In his meditative state, he came to understand numerous things.

This was how a cultural researcher should be. A cultural researcher was meant to explore the unknown, search the future, and study the various realms and races to uncover the truth of existence.

All the Invincibles in the area were stunned.

All the young geniuses and experts were stunned as well.

Everyone was stunned.

Was this...the real number one genius of the Heavenly Hunt Index?

This was Su Yu.

Even those who had never experienced such a state of comprehension could sense what Su Yu was experiencing.
