Apocalypse Of All Races

Chapter 8: The Reappearance of the Ironwing Bird (2)

Translator: Lordbluefire

Su Yu didn’t mind. There were too many races and too many heavenly ingredients and earthly treasures. He couldn’t hope that a sales staff would know everything. It was already pretty good if they knew the stuff they were selling.

“What about origin qi liquid?”

“We don’t have that…It’s more difficult to store origin qi liquid as it dissipates easily. The cost of storing it is too high!” The staff hurriedly explained, “The Grand Xia Prefecture does possess some, and we did purchase them in the early years as well. However, the cost was too high, and not many people were willing to buy it. Hence, we decided to stop ordering it.”

“Oh, what’s the price?”

“In the Great Xia Prefecture, it should cost about 100,000 for one drop. Right now, I’m not sure if there’s any difference.”

Seeing that Su Yu was asking these things, she quickly recommended, “Sir, do you want to increase your cultivation speed at the Origin Opening Realm? Actually, we have many pills and treasures here that can aid you. For example, we have the origin opening pills, the fire pig’s blood…”

Su Yu rolled his eyes. (I’m not an idiot.)

Although these items would help, the help they provided was extremely small. If one’s original cultivation speed was 100, they would help by increasing it to 101.

He knew of these methods, but only a fool would do something so wasteful!

Spending tens of thousands to purchase these useless things? Just to gain an additional day’s worth of cultivation? (Do you think I have an unending flow of money?)

Naturally, some people still bought them, or no one would even bother to make them. Moreover, the number of people buying them was quite a lot. If the demand was that high, the price would also be expensive.

Su Yu no longer asked. He then took the wooden box and left.

He had gotten what he came for, as to whether he could use them or not, he had no idea.

......

If he couldn’t use them, he could simply sell them back. Although he would make a loss, he would still be able to get back some money.

…

Below A`Yu’s house.

Chen Hao, who was currently waiting for Su Yu to come down, saw Su Yu coming back from afar. He then asked with a bewildered look on his face, “A`Yu, did you go out?”

“I went to buy some stuff earlier.”

“Oh, let’s go to school then…”

“Not going.”

“...”

Chen Hao had a look of grief and indignation on his face. “Not going? Earlier when I asked you, didn’t you say that you want to go to school? Why are you not going now?”

“I’m going to do self-revision at home!”

Su Yu chortled. “You go on ahead and cultivate well, try to reach the fourth level of Origin Opening as quickly as possible.”

Chen Hao was also at the third level. Since this fellow couldn’t apply for the civilization academies and the scientific research academies, if he failed to enter the war academies as well, he could only go to one of the internal affairs academies.

“I…”

Su Yu interrupted him. He then did his best to persuade Chen Hao in every way before finally sending him away.

…

In the living room, Su Yu stared at the two bottles of blood as he frowned in silence.

He bought the blood, but the crucial point was how should he use them?

“Swallow them?”

“Blood from an expert at the Thousand Pound Realm won’t cause my body to explode, but I will surely suffer an injury.”

“Should I wait for the dream realm and for the ironwing bird to kill me? But I only encountered that once over ten plus years. Could it be that I still have to wait for over a decade?”

Su Yu felt a headache. He bought the blood on impulse, but after purchasing them, he began to hesitate.

It was so rare for him to gain a little clue last night, so he had decided to act decisively and told himself that he would at most swallow it to give it a try if nothing else worked. But at this moment, Su Yu began to get cold feet.

Injuries were very painful.

“Or should I smear the blood on my body?”

Su Yu took action the moment he thought of it. As long as he didn’t swallow it, there shouldn’t be a huge problem.

He naturally couldn’t experiment with blood essence casually. But it wasn’t a big problem for ordinary blood.

He then opened the bottle that contained ordinary blood and dabbed a little with his finger. After that, he wiped it on the back of his palm and waited for the effect.

A few minutes later, Su Yu furrowed his brows. It was completely ineffective.

The blood was slowly evaporating.

.

No matter what, it cost 5,000 coins per bottle, and this stuff could be drunk slowly in small quantities. It wasn’t essence blood, so if you drank it, there would still be some benefits in strengthening one’s body and fitness.

It was too much of a pity to waste this.

“It’s useless…”

“How about consuming a bit of it?”

Su Yu then licked the back of his palm and tasted a little of the blood. He waited for some time, but it was still ineffective.

“Ordinary blood is useless or maybe…the method is wrong? Could it be that my understanding was mistaken from the start?”

Su Yu also felt a headache. These cost him tens of thousands of coins.

Was he a little too impulsive?

However, that dream realm had tormented him for far too long, so he wanted nothing more than to resolve it as soon as possible. If he could resolve it by spending tens of thousands of coins, he wouldn’t care about the expenses.

He only had a single drop of essence blood. However, this item was like a jadestone and there was basically no way for him to separate it.

Hence, this item could only be swallowed. It was useless to smear it.

“Do I really have to swallow the essence blood? I’m only at the Origin Opening Realm. Once I swallow it, I will most probably be greatly injured even if I don’t die. I already have no hope to reach the fourth level on time, but now if I get injured from drinking this, let alone the fourth level, I may even have issues maintaining my cultivation base at the third level.”

Su Yu was a little indecisive now.

During these years, because of the influence of the nightmares, his personality was more mature and steady compared to his peers. He was also more unwavering.

For things like taking a risk, if it wasn’t for the fact his father was on the battlefield, he wouldn’t have wanted to register for war academies.

But the nightmare had tortured him for too many years. At this moment, he truly wanted to find out the exact situation of what was going on.

“It’s just a drop, it won’t kill anyone anyway…”

“Why don’t I give it a try?”

“If I really get injured, at most I won’t join a war academy. In any case, there isn’t much hope since I’m only at the third level of the Origin Opening Realm.

“If I’m joining a civilization academy, it makes no difference whether I’m at the third level, second level, or even the first level.”

Su Yu then stared at the glass bottle in detail. The golden blood was a little blinding.

He hesitated for a moment before taking the blood out. It fell into his hand like a piece of jadestone and was actually somewhat heavy.

Su Yu clenched the drop of blood in his hand tightly, but it still showed no reaction.

“Should I wait for one more day and enter the dream? Maybe other monsters would also need the blood of the ironwing bird?”

“Or maybe, the blood of the ironwing bird is only useful today?”

The dream realm would change every day roughly at midnight. If today passed, the ironwing bird’s blood might be useless. In that case, how many donkey years did he have to wait for?

He might not encounter the ironwing bird ever again in his lifetime, or maybe if he did, he might have to wait at least several decades.

His breathing was a little disordered now.

“In that case…let’s give it a try!”

“I would at most be injured and if I’m injured I’ll just join a civilization academy! I will go and research the myriad races there, and there will come a day sooner or later where I analyze it completely and come out with the correct answer!”

As for the war academies, his hope of joining them wasn’t that great. Su Yu then gritted his teeth as he pondered whether to choose to analyze the dream realm or join a war academy. Eventually, he chose to attempt to analyze the dream.

If he managed to unravel the mystery of the dream realm, he might gain some unexpected harvests.

He clutched the essence blood in one hand, while he took his communicator with the other and sent out a message. “Come to my house, I’ve something to tell you. If I don’t answer when you knock on the door, kick the door open!”

Su Yu sent the message to Chen Hao. If he was injured or fainted, he might be helpless. Hence, when Chen Hao came, he would be able to send him to the hospital.

After making these arrangements, Su Yu gritted his teeth and swiftly stuffed the drop of essence blood into his mouth.

(At most, I will be injured. Am I those people who are afraid of pain?)

“ARGH!”

A scream of misery rang out and Su Yu almost broke down and cried. It was so painful!

RUMBLE~

At the next instant, a roar rang out in his mind as Su Yu’s vision darkened and turned topsy-turvy.

At the next moment…

“Yuese!”

The gigantic ironwing bird that was large enough to blot out the skies appeared once again. It was the same as last night, but there seemed to be some differences.

This scene was something Su Yu had never encountered in the past ten-plus years. He never had a repeated dream before, but he had one today.

The ironwing bird appeared once more!
