Chapter 682: Real And Fake (4)
How many strands were there? This was at least 150 heavenly source fruits worth of heavenly source qi. This was probably as much as what the entire Human Realm could produce over a period of nine years.
So was this a lot? Yes. This was an incredibly large amount.
Great Ming was entitled to two heavenly source fruits every nine years. After over three hundred years, they had only received around thirty fruits. Not even the combined amount of what Great Xia and Great Ming had received all these years could surpass the amount of heavenly source qi in Su Yu\'s hand. In fact, what they had received all these years couldn\'t even surpass half of what Su Yu was holding in his hand.
After a long while, Zhu Tiandao muttered, "Is the divine skywing race really so generous?" Holy shit! If he had known, he would have started a sect as well. Since when were the divines so generous? Even the divines would take many years to produce so much heavenly source qi, right?
Niu Baidao said, "This makes sense. They need to pay a high price if they want Xia Longwu killed. No wonder the Divine Skywing Sect threw everything they had toward Great Xia. They were probably planning to sacrifice their cannon fodder and complete the job. With this much heavenly source qi, they could have easily raised a hundred or two new geniuses. These geniuses that they could nurture at a young age would definitely be much more useful than their existing members who were definitely less talented."
Zhu Tiandao exclaimed in admiration, "This was such a big payment. This is probably worth around 300,000 to 400,000 merit points since each heavenly source fruit has a price of 2,000 merit points. But heavenly source fruits are not things you can buy with just money."
"This is indeed enough to tempt the entire Divine Skywing Sect."
The two talked in succession, instantly completing the story for Su Yu. So that was why. Realization dawned on them. No wonder. They finally understood why the Divine Skywing Sect had gone all out in their attack against Great Xia.
Niu Baidao said, "Nothing is better than this at nurturing new talents. The entire Human Realm will take nine years to produce this much. But how many people are waiting for that harvest? Meanwhile, the Divine Skywing Sect can get this much all for themselves. I\'m starting to get the urge to start a sect and scam some treasures as well."
The two of them were greatly envious. They did not suspect Su Yu\'s story. It was reasonable for dragon\'s horn to be used to store heavenly source qi. In fact, it was perfectly reasonable.
Zhu Tiandao curiously asked, "How did you open the case so fast?"
Su Yu said, "I have the little furball work with me. At first, I thought it was fake. But it also looks very similar to the heavenly source fruit you gave me previously."
"You sure are lucky, kid." Zhu Tiandao said, "This thing is indeed perfect for body forging. But do you know that the moment you release the heavenly source qi within the ball, it will rapidly transform into regular source qi? You need more than a hundred heavenly source fruits to get a portion this big. Did the divine skywing race go crazy?"
He was quite speechless. They were actually willing to pay such a big price just to kill Xia Longwu?
Su Yu said, "I was worried as well, but look. It\'s fine. Nothing is leaking. Prefect, just use some of the heavenly source qi inside to produce a fake phenomenon. What do you think? The entire thing will look more believable. In the end, I\'ll be the one to absorb it anyway so it won\'t go to waste. At most, we\'ll waste around ten heavenly source fruits worth of heavenly source qi. But this is a price I\'m willing to pay if it means baiting some Sunmoons out."
"..."
What a wasteful kid.
Zhu Tiandao enviously suggested, "Why don\'t we change the plan. It\'s pointless to fish all those enemies. Su Yu, why don\'t you sell some of the heavenly source qi to me? There are some juniors in the Zhu Family waiting to complete their Source Opening..."
"Are there more juniors in the main branch?"
"I can use it on those from the side branches as well. After all, we have a lot of little geniuses waiting for an opportunity..."
"No. I want to fish."
Su Yu refused. He preferred fishing.
Zhu Tiandao looked at Old Niu gloomily. Wasn\'t this too much of a waste?
Niu Baidao thought about it and said, "But if we use this to create a fake phenomenon, it will seem very real. If Su Yu is willing to let some of the heavenly source qi to go to waste, he can even let some of the qi spread further away. Upon sensing the heavenly source qi, those experts will show up even if they suspect that it\'s a trap. This is the best bait we can use."
The bait was simply too high in quality. Nobody would suspect it. After all, Great Ming wasn\'t supposed to have that many heavenly source fruits in their possession.
Su Yu\'s heart was beating rapidly. Did they buy his story? There were some things that were better kept as secrets. The dragon\'s horn case had served as the perfect cover for him. As for the actual case, he had yet to open it. Something like that couldn\'t be opened so easily.
After a slight hesitation, Zhu Tiandao clenched his teeth and said, "Let\'s do it! It\'s only some heavenly source qi! What\'s the big deal?"
In any case, he wasn\'t the one supplying the heavenly source qi. But he was still feeling rather gloomy. Su Yu was too wasteful. If it were up to him, he wouldn\'t be willing to do something like this. Was this really something the kid found in the dragon\'s horn case?
Zhu Tiandao wasn\'t sure. This was too valuable. If one could find the right buyer, one could get a lot from it. For example, if they searched for large families with young geniuses, they could even sell each portion for 10,000 merit points.
Would these families agree to that price? Definitely. With the right buyers, they could earn millions of merit points from this. Not even the Divine Skywing Sect itself was worth that much money. It suddenly made so much sense why the sect master had launched such a suicidal attack against Xia Longwu.
But Zhu Tiandao couldn\'t understand one thing. The divine skywing race was quite rich with a lot of other treasures they could use. Why use heavenly source qi as payment? How odd.
Despite his doubt, this wasn\'t the place to ask more. He said, "In that case, this will be even easier. We might really be able to catch some Sunmoons. Su Yu, how long do you need before you can break through? Do you need any help?"
Su Yu made a short calculation and said, "Three days. Give everyone some time to prepare. And I need some time as well. Heavenly phenomenon...looks like I\'m going to get even more famous after this."
Niu Baidao joked, "If you do end up producing an actual heavenly phenomenon, things will get a lot more amusing."
"How is that possible?"
Zhu Tiandao laughed, but suddenly, his face turned stiff. Niu Baidao\'s face also turned stiff. Would that happen? No way...right?
Others would create heavenly phenomenons at the Mountainsea Realm. Su Yu...wouldn\'t create something like that in advance, right?
Su Yu looked at the two doubtfully. What was up with them? Why were they staring at him like that?
Niu Baidao glanced at Zhu Tiandao before solemnly saying, "Get ready to produce a fake phenomenon. Regardless of whether the phenomenon is real or fake, it is fake."
Holy shit. The real thing wouldn\'t appear, right? Whatever. They would only admit that it was fake. Otherwise, they might really end up courting a big trouble this time.
