Chapter 349: Expanded Mutual Aid Club (3)

"For now, I have to continue maintaining my distance from Teacher Liu..." Su Yu said, "By the way, your grandfather is from the single character faction as well. Will injuring Elder Zheng affect your grandfather..."

"It's fine." Lin Yao said, "We're not from their line. We're actually from Elder Fang's line. Faculty Head Zhou's line is already used to being overbearing in the faction. But since my grandpa is quite close with Faculty Head Zhou, he decided to stay in the middle and not side with anyone in the faction."

"That's good. We don't want to create more conflict between your line and the other lines." Su Yu nodded, "Brother Lin, to speak the truth, Teacher Liu, me, and a lot of people are trying to change something. But since we are still too weak, we can only stay in the shadows for now. Brother Lin, you're a student of Teacher Liu. We have built our friendship from rivalry. I approve of your character. If one day we decide to overturn some of the existing status quo, would you be willing to stand at our side?"

Lin Yao frowned, "Brother Su, you guys aren't trying to overthrow the entire single character faction, right?"

"Of course not. And we're not strong enough to do something like that anyway."

Lin Yao thought about it and said, "I am not a selfless person. As long as my grandfather is fine, I don't really care. As long as my teacher and you are victorious, I honestly don't care about the others."

Su Yu nodded, "In that case, I hereby officially invite you to the Mutual Aid Club. Don't ask me how many members we have. Don't ask me who our members are. I am your sole contact person from the club. Everything else will remain secret."

He then gave Lin Yao a short introduction to the Mutual Aid Club.

Lin Yao asked in excitement, "Is...Teacher a part of this Mutual Aid Club as well?"

"Like I said, don't ask me about the members." Su Yu solemnly said, "This is still a small circle for now. Do not tell anyone about it. Do not speak of this club openly. That applies to Teacher Liu as well. You are not to speak with him about the club. You shouldn't be asking about his membership. He will not be aware of the fact that you're a member of the club."

"The moment you leak anything related to the club, we will have no choice but to kick you."

Lin Yao hurriedly nodded, "I understand. What do I need to do for the club?"

"Information transmission and gathering. Isn't your grandfather a Cloudbreach cultivator? He's quite close to Faculty Head Zhou as well, right? In that case, he definitely knows a lot. You only need to share some information that you think you can share with me.

"Naturally, you won't be working for free. In the Mutual Aid Club, fair exchange is extremely important. We will have someone evaluating the value of every information you bring to the club. With your information, you can trade for the things you need from the club."

"The things I need?" Lin Yao said after some hesitation, "But I don't lack any cultivation resources for now..."

Su Yu shook his head, "Brother Lin, you're too easily satisfied. Where is the Lin Yao who had looked for me for some mountainbreak bull blood essence? Aren't you aiming for the top 100? Are you giving up already? So many of our classmates have managed to enter the top 100. Don't you want to do the same?"

Lin Yao blanked out.

"I feel like after the end of the conflict between us, you seem to have lost all your fighting spirit. If I had known that this would happen, I would have remained as your rival. Brother Lin, don't forget that you're from the single character faction while I'm from the multiple character faction. From today onward, we will be rivals. You should be viewing me with hostility! That is what Lin Yao should be doing!"

Lin Yao blanked out slightly. After a short thought, he nodded and solemnly said, "Thank you for that. I seem to have gotten carried away, thinking that I have nothing to strive for since you are no longer an enemy. But now...I'm aware that I was wrong."

"That's right." Su Yu said, "We have plenty of good stuff in the club, such as a cultivation method capable of purifying source qi, the Soul Devouring Art i mentioned previously, ability blood essence, body-strengthening manuals, numerous willpower texts, and so on. You will definitely be able to find something you want. Only those in the club are allowed to obtain all these things."

Lin Yao swallowed and said, "Do you guys even have the rights to transmit all those things?"

"Why not? All those manuals are created by our fellow club members so we have all the rights for these manuals."

Too embarrassing? Su Yu had to disagree. Principal Wan was pretty shameless. Would someone like that feel embarrassed?

There were probably some other misgivings. After all, this involved extracting the blood essence of a human. Even if that human in question was a part of the Myriad Race Cult, it still wouldn't be proper for one to openly extract the blood essence of one such person.

Of course, if Xia Longwu knew how to extract memories, he probably wouldn't have any misgivings in doing so.

"Got it. I'll get someone to evaluate the value of this information. If it proves useful, you will definitely receive what you deserve. I think you can probably get enough to purchase a manual of the Pure Source Art. Of course, even after buying the manual, you won't be allowed to transmit it. Do you understand?"

"Of course. I understand."

Lin Yao nodded solemnly. He naturally knew that he had to keep something like this secret. Cultivation methods could not be lightly transmitted!

Most of these cultivation methods were created by big shots. One could easily get killed by carelessly transmitting these cultivation methods. It wasn't like something like this had never happened before.

...

That night, Su Yu successfully dealt with Lin Yao and obtained a piece of news that he still wasn't sure if it would be helpful. He exhaled in relief. As of now, the Mutual Aid Club had successfully obtained its third member. Not bad at all!

All these members were high-tier students. Even Hu Zongji was a high-middle student. In truth, Hu Zongji was actually quite an impressive student. He only looked weak in comparison to someone like Su Yu.

"Teacher Liu..."

He still couldn't contact Liu Wenyan. The single character faction was probably doing something against Liu Wenyan. Su Yu cursed inwardly and wondered if he should tell his teacher and martial uncle about it. His martial uncle wasn't strong enough and still needed to protect his position in the books depository. If his martial uncle was lured out of the academy...sigh.

Their faction was still too weak. What a pity that his martial uncle still wasn't a Mountainsea cultivator.

"What do people need to reach the Mountainsea Realm from the Cloudbreach Realm? Do they need a new cultivation method or something similar? If it's cultivation method, I might be able to provide some."

Su Yu lacked everything except cultivation methods. And all his cultivation methods were guaranteed to be suitable for human practice. One ought to know that he had already activated over 80 pages so far.

His martial uncle had been stuck in the Cloudbreach Realm for many years. He wondered what the issue was. If his martial uncle could reach the Mountainsea Realm, their faction would be much stronger than before.

After entering the Mountainsea Realm, his martial uncle would be promoted into an elder and gain more weight to his voice inside the academy.

"There's also Teacher Zhao..."

Su Yu exhaled and ran straight toward Xia Huyou. By that time, it was nearly morning. The 8th was coming again so he should get ready to visit his Teacher Zhao again. If possible, he would try to get Teacher Zhao to hammer him a dozen times or so.

He could also try to ask if Teacher Zhao could give him a special privilege when it comes to entering the Source Qi Secret Grotto.

After all, the Source Qi Secret Grotto was something left behind by Teacher Zhao's father. He should have some special prerogative about the grotto, right? It would be a waste to not make use of the special prerogative he had.

Su Yu even started wondering if he should have a talk with Bai Feng and discuss having him officially come under Zhao Li instead. After all, on paper, the multiple character faction no longer existed.

Naturally, he would minor in the multiple character faction instead so they would remain on the same side. Bai Feng would be fine, right? If he did well, he would even share some of his wealth with Bai Feng!

If he really did that, the Source Qi Secret Grotto would be as good as theirs! Wouldn’t that be wonderful?
