Su Yu couldn't be bothered to argue with Xia Huyou. Since his friend was insisting, then he would just pretend to be clueless. Even if Xia Huyou was really an important member of the Xia Family, Su Yu did not care.0

The Xia Family had a decent reputation. They had been running Great Xia for over 300 years yet rumors of them bullying the weak had never appeared. In fact, if they had a bad reputation, some experts would have probably rebelled long ago.0

Su Yu did not insist on sticking to the topic. He said, "I asked you to gather some five elemental blood essence for me. How is that going?"0

"I got some, but not much." Xia Huyou helplessly said, "The five elemental race is truly too rare. Also, each of them are very strong. And you only want Infinite Strength blood essence. I can't get much even after collecting from the other prefectures."0

Five elemental blood essence wasn't cheap. For a single drop of Infinite Strength five elemental blood essence, Su Yu needed to pay 50 merit points.0

Su Yu was planning to buy some and activate their cultivation methods before using the period of time when those cultural arts were active to open some soul apertures. As long as he could open 36 soul apertures, he would be able to start actively cultivating his willpower without the help of blood essence.0

"Cut the crap. How much have you gathered?"0

"At the moment, 60 drops in total."0

That was not enough for Su Yu. According to his calculation, he would probably need two or three drops to open one soul aperture. With 60 drops, he would only be able to open around 25 apertures.1

"Give me the 60 drops first and try to get at least 40 more drops for me."0

He would probably need at least 100 drops to meet his target.0

Suddenly, he asked, "Have there been talks about soul devouring bug ability blood essence lately?" 0

Xia Huyou narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Yes. In fact,...0
