Chapter 1112: Converging Spotlights (1)
Having met Bai Feng again, Su Yu was in a great mood.
He was very happy to see this teacher of his. This teacher might not be the most responsible one, but he had to admit Bai Feng had taught him and helped him a lot when he first reached the capital.
Bai Feng had even freely taught him things that were supposed to be secrets. The disassembly method and the ability blood essence production method were all known by Su Yu. Outsiders dreamed of knowing these methods, and Bai Feng had freely taught them to Su Yu.
Even the hundred drops of mountainbreak bull blood essence for Su Yu's initial body forging came from Bai Feng. It was then that Su Yu came to learn how useful the mountainbreak bull blood essence was. In fact, one could say that Bai Feng was the indirect culprit for the deaths of so many mountainbreak bulls after Su Yu became addicted to using their blood.
Su Yu had not met Bai Feng after Bai Feng was exiled to the Allheaven Battlefield. Even back when he returned as Cui Lang, he had not met Bai Feng. Thus, he felt very good to finally meet his teacher again.
In the Allheaven Battlefield, he was constantly surrounded by wolves. Not a single person around him could be trusted. He had to constantly dance at the edge of death and watch out for a hidden blade that might stab him in the back. He greatly lacked a sense of security. But now, he could finally relax a little.
Su Yu was relaxed, but Bai Feng was on high alert. He constantly scanned their surroundings while cursing. This damn cousin was too troublesome! He had to be very careful on the way back to the capital.
Wu Yuehua had vanished into the void to keep an eye out for any hidden enemies. As for Bai Feng, while leading the way, he scolded, "When we reach the capital, you will join one of the merchant convoys heading to Great Ming. You idiot! You better leave as soon as possible!"
"We share the same bloodline. If I'm an idiot, you're an idiot as well."
Su Yu grinned and spoke some nonsense to anger his teacher further. For some reason, this felt rather amusing to him.
"You—"
Bai Feng was bursting with rage. He asked, "What happened to Grandpa? What message did my old man have for me?"
"Grandpa failed in an attempt to open the yang acupoint..."
Bai Feng did not seem surprised. He sighed and said, "I knew it."
Su Yu asked curiously, "Do you know how to open the yang acupoint?"
His teacher was a part of the Bai Family. So did his teacher know how to open the yang acupoint as well? And did his teacher know a way to control the opened yang acupoint? To speak the truth, Su Yu had a feeling a fully opened yang acupoint would be incredibly strong. But he didn't have the courage to fully open it.@@@@
The moment it was fully opened, it couldn't be closed anymore. It would constantly absorb the energy in all the other acupoints. Su Yu's acupoints were quite powerful so he should be able to last some time with the yang acupoint opened. Anyone else would have suffered massively after opening it.
Had the old grandpa of the Bai Family really opened the yang acupoint fully? In that case, it was really quite impressive that he was still alive.
"No."
Bai Feng rolled his eyes and said, "To open the yang acupoint, you need to first detonate your acupoints and embrace death. The method left by our ancestor is unreliable. There must be a different way to open the yang acupoint."
But suddenly, Bai Feng noticed something. He turned to look at Su Yu in surprise, "Yang acupoint?"
What yang acupoint? That was an unfamiliar term. Of course, from the way his cousin had spoken of the so-called yang acupoint, he could guess what his cousin was referring to. That was why he had neglected the specific term used. But finally, he noticed and remembered that the Bai Family had never named this acupoint.
He couldn't remember anyone naming that acupoint before Su Yu. Su Yu was the only person who had actually given that acupoint a name. But Su Yu hadn't shared that with too many people.
Even back then, Su Yu had only publicly spoken about the source soul acupoint. His theory regarding the yang acupoint and yin aperture had not been shared with the public.
Su Yu didn't notice it as well since he was already used to that term.
But noticing Bai Feng's expression, he maintained a calm expression and said, "You don't even know the yang acupoint? Previously, when Su Yu visited us, he told me that the acupoint opened by our ancestor is called the yang acupoint. Corresponding with that is probably something called the yin aperture. Opening the yang acupoint after finding a way to balance the yin and yang is the way of doing so without any side effects."
"Depends on how you negotiate with them."
Bai Feng had a pensive look. Since he could get something for free...why would he refuse? He only needed to introduce his teacher to them. What was the big deal about that? In the Allheaven Battlefield, he had to worry about being tracked. But this was the Human Realm. That was not a concern. Wow. This cousin of his sure was good at doing business.
"Do you have an index copy?"
"Yes."
"I'll be borrowing it."
"..."
Su Yu was left quite speechless. His teacher sure was in a rush. He took an index copy and handed it to Bai Feng. This was the same index copy he had used with Bai Junsheng's identity. That way, nobody would suspect anything.
Next, he took his white mask into his sea of willpower. The white mask was considered an earth weapon so he could naturally store it in his sea of willpower. He had only refrained from doing so previously because he didn't trust the pavilion enough to do so.
But for now, he had to take some risks. It wouldn't do for him to continue ignoring all his messages, right? Since he couldn't put the mask on in the presence of others, this was his best alternative.
In his sea of willpower, Su Yu saw Yellow Nine's message. He replied, "I've withdrawn as well. The mission is a success. We won't earn much during the early phase. For this mission, there is no payment, but we have to see further ahead. This is an investment for the future."
Most missions would come with a reward upon completion. But that wasn't the case this time since they had not charged for the mission.
Yellow Nine replied, "It's fine. I saw Bai Feng. That is one of the main characters of the coming chaos. It is actually a very good thing for us to establish a connection with him so early."
"Profound Nine is indeed good at doing business."
Earth Eighteen joined the conversation with a praise. It might seem like they hadn't earned anything from this mission, but the connection the mission established for them was much more valuable than money.
The white masks of the other prefectures were still busy with basic matters like looking for hiding places and blending in with the locals. Meanwhile, they had already established a reputation for themselves in Great Xia.
Su Yu did not reply. Why? Because Bai Feng's message had arrived.
"Heavenly Hunt Pavilion? I'm Bai Feng. According to my cousin, I'll be given a thousand strands of heavenearth profound light if I introduce you guys to my teacher. Is that true?"
"..."
Su Yu was speechless. He looked up at Bai Feng who was walking nonchalantly in front of him.
Wow.
His teacher was blatantly lying.
Before long, he replied, "That's not possible. If Researcher Bai is willing to use our index copy and introduce us to Elder Hong, we are willing to pay the price as long as the price is something within our capabilities."
"Just be straightforward. What benefits can you offer me?"
Su Yu rolled his eyes but he did not beat around the bush. "We can kill or protect some people for you. As long as they are under the Sunmoon Realm, we can do it for free. Of course, we reserve the right to determine the risk of the mission. If the risk is too high, we will refuse to do it."
"Only that?"
Bai Feng seemed rather dissatisfied. He even turned to give Bai Junsheng a glare, as though it was Bai Junsheng's fault. For a moment, Su Yu even thought that Bai Feng had seen through his disguise. Why was his teacher glaring at him for no reason?
