While Others are Leveling Up, I Alone Will Cultivate Until Mahayana Before Making My Move
Chapter 148 - 128: Another Road to Wealth, Longevity Elixir! (Second update)_2

And this Withered Bone Sword was evidently of a high grade, a low-grade treasure weapon, equivalent to a top-tier legendary weapon in the real world.

"But this Withered Bone Sword has too sordid a history; using it harms the natural order..."

Su Xing shook his head slightly, turning his gaze to the other options.

After some hesitation, Su Xing was torn between three reward choices.

Thousand-Fathom Divine Sense, Three-Tailed Phoenix Grass, and Snow Bone Jade Ginseng.

"This Snow Bone Jade Ginseng is a must-choose. If I don't select it, next time I simulate, I'll probably have to fight that damned Zong again; it's not worth it..."

"As for Thousand-Fathom Divine Sense and the Three-Tailed Phoenix Grass..."

After some hesitation, Su Xing decided to choose the Three-Tailed Phoenix Grass.

After all, with the Snow Bone Jade Ginseng and the Three-Tailed Phoenix Grass, Su Xing could refine an Infant Tempering Pill, which was evidently more crucial for him.

As for Divine Sense, it wouldn't be difficult to cultivate to a thousand fathoms if he had the chance in the next simulation.

Thinking of this, Su Xing silently recited,

"I choose to bring out the Snow Bone Jade Ginseng and the Three-Tailed Phoenix Grass..."

[Ding, your energy is insufficient. Please collect sufficient simulated energy before attempting to exchange again...]

The simulator's prompt sound came to Su Xing's ear.

Su Xing looked at the remaining energy, which was less than twenty-six million; there was still a gap of four million!

"Darn, I didn't expect the energy to run out so quickly... Sigh, looks like I'll have to wait for a bit. After this week's delivery, it should be enough..."

Su Xing suddenly felt a bit of a headache. Ever since he started making money through alchemy, he'd never lacked money.

But now, on the verge of entering the Divinity Transformation Stage, energy was becoming scarce again.

Not to mention, just bringing out the Great Perfection cultivation level of Divinity Transformation and Divine Strength Realm required Su Xing tens of millions of points...

"Sigh, still need to figure out a way to make money!"

"The Tarot Commerce Association provides only ten million energies a week. At this rate, it would take me two months to break through to the Great Perfection of the Divinity Transformation Stage... This speed is too slow!"

As always, cutting expenses is not possible; the only way is to increase income to barely maintain a semblance of life.

"Once the mine's instance dungeon gets approved, the obtained energy should be significantly more..."

"But for now, I'll just have to push Jin Congxue to get me more instance dungeon items!"

Su Xing sighed, first sending a few text messages to Jin Congxue, urging her to help gather more instance dungeon items, then took out the alchemy furnace and rushed to prepare for alchemy.

Alchemy was a monotonous life, and it drained a lot of mental energy.

Even for an alchemy master, if the subtle fine control of the heat and timing was mishandled, an entire furnace of elixirs could be ruined.

However, Su Xing had long since become proficient in alchemy.

In just one week, Su Xing had refined six thousand elixirs.

On this day, Su Xing packed up the refined elixirs and headed to a villa where he met Jin Congxue.

Today, Jin Congxue wore a slip nightdress with two light dark circles around her eyes, looking as though she hadn't slept well.

Su Xing handed over the elixirs, teasingly asked:

"What, were you stealing last night? Why do you look like you didn't sleep well?"

Jin Congxue rolled her eyes, snorted, and said,

"Humph, it's all because of you! Didn't you ask me to help you acquire a large number of instance dungeon items?"

"These past days, I ran through dozens of branches and hundreds of warehouses of the Jin Merchant Guild in Jiangnan Province to gather quite a few strange instance dungeon items for you... Take a look yourself!"

With that, Jin Congxue handed over several storage rings.

Su Xing opened the storage rings, and sure enough, they were all filled with mountains of instance dungeon items.

Su Xing's heart moved as he began to assess the energy of these items.

[Ding, detected some energy-containing substances, worth 16.42 million energy points in total. Convert?]

[Ding, detected some energy-containing substances, worth 9.76 million energy points in total. Convert?]

[Ding...]

Several prompts echoed in his mind, and Su Xing roughly calculated.

Good gracious, these four storage rings held instance dungeon items totaling nearly fifty million simulated energy!

Su Xing was astonished and asked,

"How does your Jin Merchant Guild have so many instance dungeon items?"

Jin Congxue explained:

"They're all sold by profession users! Every day, quite a few profession users sell instance dungeon items. Over time, naturally, there's a lot..."

"The Jin Merchant Guild's business scope is vast. Occasionally, they buy a small number of instance dungeon items and sell them for a small profit."

After a pause, Jin Congxue added,

"However, the Jin Merchant Guild doesn't have many instance dungeon items on hand, and they're spread out, making them hard to find..."

"If you're interested in these items, perhaps you could contact the Baili Business Association in Guang Province."

Su Xing asked curiously, "Baili Business Association?"

Jin Congxue nodded slightly and said,

"The Baili Business Association is located in the southernmost province of the Great Xia Country; it's one of the top business guilds. The eldest son of this association, Baili Qi, loves collecting such strange instance dungeon items. Over the decades, his collection of these items is probably stacked as high as several mountains..."

Su Xing's eyes lit up instantly. Good gracious, if he could get his hands on instance dungeon items collected over decades, how much simulated energy would that be worth!

So Su Xing hurriedly asked,

"How can I contact Baili Qi? I want to acquire all the instance dungeon items from him!"

Jin Congxue looked troubled and said,

"Baili Qi has a strange personality, dislikes seeing people, and our Jin Merchant Guild doesn't have close relations with him..."

"However, I've heard that recently Baili Qi's father, Baili Tu, is nearing the end of his life and seems to be looking for lifespan extension items from dungeons. If we can extend his life, we might be able to trade with Baili Qi for those instance dungeon items..."

Su Xing's heart stirred upon hearing this.

Lifespan extension items are extremely valuable in instance dungeons, with countless top elites vying for them without success.

After all, the business guild owners, needing to manage their businesses, may not have much time to enhance their strength, often barely reaching the Heavenly King level with various items.

Heavenly King level has a lifespan of three to five hundred years. To live longer, they must break into the Martial Emperor level.

"Lifespan extension items... I'll find a way. Once I refine an elixir that can extend life, you can help me contact the Baili Business Association!"

Su Xing said.

Jin Congxue was stunned and exclaimed,

"You can refine a life-extending elixir?"

Seeing Jin Congxue's surprise, Su Xing was a little puzzled but still explained:

"I'm not sure yet, but I can try. I have about a fifty percent chance of success..."

As Su Xing knew, the Li Fire Alchemy recorded no less than seven or eight kinds of life-extending elixirs.

After all, what do cultivators seek other than this?

It's precisely within the expertise of cultivators to refine life-extending elixirs.

From non-graded Health-Shielding Pills to low-grade Life-Saving Pills, Lifespan Extension Pills, mid-grade Longevity Pills, and high-grade Green Hades Pills...

The effects range from extending life by one or two years to five, ten, or even several decades.

However, life-extending elixirs have tolerance; after consuming one or two, taking the same type again has no effect.

As a young man, Su Xing naturally hadn't thought about refining life-extending elixirs previously.

But now, seeing the potential, life-extending elixirs might indeed be the real profit kings!

Hearing Su Xing claim a fifty percent success rate, Jin Congxue was even more astonished and said incredulously,

"Do you know how precious life-extending items are? One life-extending item from an instance dungeon can equal a legendary piece of equipment, if not even rarer."

"If you announce you can refine life-extending elixirs, not only would major powers treat you as a distinguished guest, but even the elderly high officials of the Great Xia Country would seek you out!"

Seeing Jin Congxue's astonishment, Su Xing's expression also turned serious. He had only thought of the great profits of life-extending elves before, but not of the immense risks!

After some contemplation, Su Xing said,

"Regarding the life-extending elixir, I'm not certain yet... So please keep this matter confidential and do not publicize it."
