While Others are Leveling Up, I Alone Will Cultivate Until Mahayana Before Making My Move
Chapter 149 - 129: Reincarnated Talent, What Does It Mean to Be Connected With Buddha? (Third Update)

Jin Congxue nodded slightly after hearing this and said,

"Rest assured, since this matter has reached my ears, without your permission, I won't let it out."

Given Jin Congxue's perspective, he naturally understood the gravity of the situation.

Su Xing nodded; he trusted Jin Congxue greatly.

But thinking about the immense profits a Lifespan Extension Pill could bring, he asked again,

"If I really manage to create a pill that can extend life by three to five years, and you put it up for auction, how much do you think it could sell for?"

Jin Congxue thought for a moment, then shook his head slightly and said,

"Such an item can't be measured by money anymore. If it has to be converted into Great Xia Coins, for some people, a single pill could be worth billions!"

"If traded, legendary treasures, Fourth-Rank Special Metals... and other exotic treasures, all could be exchanged!"

Su Xing roughly understood the influence of Lifespan Extension Pills in this world.

Longevity had always been humanity's ultimate dream.

Even for those mighty enough to move mountains and fill seas, it was the same.

Especially in this world, possessing true warriors capable of facing thousands, this tiny fraction of people held the majority of societal wealth.

These big shots from the guilds would spare no expense to extend their lifespans!

After thinking for a while, Su Xing said to Jin Congxue,

"I'll give you a list. You go and gather the medicinal herbs on it, the more, the better!"

"Ginseng that's over eight hundred years old, the older, the better..."

"He Shou Wu that's over a thousand years old, the older, the better as well..."

"Also Lingzhi, Chinese Yam, Rhodiola..."

Su Xing took out a piece of paper and listed the medicinal herbs on it, and Jin Congxue seriously accepted it.

After bidding farewell to Jin Congxue, Su Xing took the week's worth of goods and returned to the Spirit Field Blessed Land.

First, Su Xing converted the large amount of Instance Dungeon Items he had collected over the week into Simulated Energy.

Thus, Su Xing's Simulated Energy increased dramatically to nearly 75 million points!

"Exchange for Three-tailed Phoenix Grass and Snow Bone Jade Ginseng!"

Su Xing muttered in his heart.

[You have successfully brought out ten stalks of Three-tailed Phoenix Grass (three hundred years old), consuming 15 million energy points. Remaining energy: 60.33 million points.]

[You have successfully brought out thirty stalks of Snow Bone Jade Ginseng (mature), consuming 15 million energy points. Remaining energy: 45.33 million points.]

After the simulator's prompt sounded, dozens of medicinal herbs appeared beside Su Xing.

The Three-tailed Phoenix Grass, shaped like a phoenix's tail with triple leaves.

The Snow Bone Jade Ginseng, white as jade, with red streaks at the root.

These two were extremely precious medicinal herbs. Su Xing took a slight sniff near his nose and could feel the spiritual fragrance entering his nostrils.

Carefully taking out a jade box, Su Xing placed the Snow Bone Jade Ginseng into it, as this ginseng could only survive in extremely cold climates. Su Xing had to store it in the jade box to avoid losing its medicinal properties.

He then went to a spot with abundant Spiritual Energy in the Spirit Field and planted the Three-tailed Phoenix Grass.

After finishing all this, Su Xing didn't rush to simulate but instead stroked his chin, pondering.

"This Lifespan Extension Pill is indeed a great way to make money fast, but it does come with certain risks!"

"Even though I now have the strength of a Martial Emperor, if not handled properly, it could bring numerous troubles and worries..."

With Su Xing's current strength, relying on martial force, he naturally wasn't afraid of any guild bosses.

But the problem was, if martial force wasn't strong enough, it couldn't solve everything.

If those guilds came asking Su Xing for Lifespan Extension Pills, and Su Xing couldn't produce them, they might resort to covert tricks and scheming.

Additionally, he had to guard against some old monsters with withering lifespans, who might do deranged things for the Lifespan Extension Pills...

Besides the human race's major forces, if the Descending Sect got wind of Su Xing's ability to make Lifespan Extension Pills, it would bring even more trouble to Su Xing.

After pondering for a while, Su Xing came up with a compromise.

"I can bring out some Lifespan Extension Pills, but I mustn't claim I made them. I could say they are from dungeons, with limited quantities... This could avoid much trouble!"

Su Xing nodded slightly.

Before having absolute strength, Su Xing didn't want to make Lifespan Extension Pills a main economic source, because the risk was too great!

Lifespan Extension Pills were different from Nourishing Face Pills.

Most Nourishing Face Pill buyers were rich young ladies or even those big figures' playthings.

These people had money but no power, posing no threat to Su Xing.

But Lifespan Extension Pills could indeed attract those immensely powerful figures.

Once exposed, even though Su Xing would not be afraid of being captured and turned into an alchemy machine, the trouble would be unavoidable.

This didn't align with Su Xing's steady personality.

"Moreover, making Lifespan Extension Pills isn't as simple as it seems!"

Su Xing sighed softly.

According to the pill recipe, Lifespan Extension Pills required mostly precious spiritual herbs of a very old age.

Though the process wasn't hard, the spiritual herbs were rare.

Su Xing didn't have these herbs on hand either.

But the lowest grade Nourishing Pills and Life Extension Pills required more common herbs, some could be made with long-aged traditional medicines.

Nourishing Pills couldn't extend life through one-time consumption, but taking them monthly could preserve the body's Essence Blood.

Generally, as long as an elderly person had no diseases, they could take up to twenty-four Nourishing Pills, increasing their lifespan by two years.

Compared to Nourishing Pills, Life Extension Pills were simpler, more brutal, and more powerful!

Directly consuming one could extend the life of someone at the end of their lifespan by three years!

The specific effect was: even if you had little lifespan remaining and were about to die in the afternoon, taking one at noon could make you lively for three more years.

Using both pills together could potentially extend life by five years!

But Su Xing didn't plan to make Nourishing Pills; he aimed for Life Extension Pills.

After all, bringing out a few Life Extension Pills could be explained as dungeon loot.

But taking out hundreds of Nourishing Pills would be harder to explain...

"Let's see first. Lifespan Extension Pills can be a quick way to make money. If I lack energy, I can sell one or two!"

Su Xing had a plan in mind.

At this time, the simulation cooldown had ended, and Su Xing softly called out the Simulation Panel.

On May 13, 2024, of the New Era, Su Xing began his 36th simulation.

"Start simulation!"

Su Xing muttered.

[Ding! This simulation costs 3600 points of energy, remaining energy: 45.33 million points, remaining simulation attempts: none.]

[Simulation begins!]

[Extracting Green Talent costs 1000 energy points, Blue Talent costs 10,000 energy points, extracting Purple Talent costs 100,000 energy points, extract?]

"Extract Purple Talent!"

[Congratulations, you have obtained Purple Talent: Living Buddha Incarnate]

[Living Buddha Incarnate]: Every movement you make radiates the brilliance of Buddha's nature. Your innate comprehension of Buddhist scriptures and teachings surpasses ordinary people, like a reincarnated Living Buddha. If you sincerely preach Buddhism, you'll gain innumerable loyal followers.

Seeing the new talent, Su Xing gritted his teeth.

"Damn it, how many times has it been? Seriously... Am I destined to be connected to Buddhism?"

"I, Su Xing, swear that even if I starve to death, even if I jump off Demon-Subduing Pass... I will never convert to Buddhism!"

Su Xing snorted coldly. He really had no interest in becoming a monk!

Being an ordinary handsome guy, wasn't that appealing enough?

Though he got a bad talent, Su Xing still held great anticipation for this simulation.

[In the Spirit Field Blessed Land, you recognized you were simulating.]

[You touched your head and a few strands of hair fell down.]

[Expressionless, you began to refine elixirs, patiently waiting for the right moment.]

[Soon, a month passed. Jin Congxue had found many of the herbs you needed before: thousand-year ginseng, he shou wu, Lingzhi…]

[With these herbs, you could attempt to refine Life Extension Pills.]

[Following the pill recipe, the process wasn't complex. Within a month, you were at the entry level.]

[However, you weren't satisfied; entry-level alchemy skills had only a thirty percent success rate.]

[So, you continued to have Jin Congxue collect more herbs, but she indicated it would take a long time as those herbs were too precious.]

[With no other option, you gave a few Life Extension Pills to Jin Congxue.]

[Upon knowing the Life Extension Pill's effects, she couldn't hide her shock, but you casually told her to use one pill to see if she could get an appointment with Baili Qi.]

[Jin Congxue did as told, and three days later, you saw a haggard Baili Qi and his father, Baili Tu, on his deathbed.]

[Upon hearing you had life-extending medicine, Baili Tu came from afar, and Baili Qi even said that as long as you gave him the Life Extension Pill, you could ask for anything, and you would forever be a benefactor of the Baili family.]

[Seizing the opportunity, you requested the instance dungeon items Baili Qi had collected.]

[Unexpectedly, Baili Qi hesitated. He asked if you could change your request, expressing that those items were his lifeline!]

[You turned your gaze to Baili Tu. The old man, full of anger, hit Baili Qi several times on the head with his cane.]

[Baili Qi, however, still gritted his teeth, holding those instance dungeon items in great regard. He said that although his father had lived for over five hundred years and had earned it, he would lose faith without those items for the rest of his life!]

[You were very curious why Baili Qi wasn't willing to give up those "useless" items even if it meant his father's death. Was there some shocking secret hidden in them?]

[Later, you discovered that the instance dungeon items were indeed ordinary, but Baili Qi's lifelong wish was to collect all the rare items in the world... basically, instance dungeon items.]

[That's why Baili Qi was so reluctant, as he treated those items as his spiritual sustenance.]

Su Xing was speechless at this. He didn't expect that the heir of the Baili Merchant Group had such a quirk. He was practically a professional "hoarder"...

This reminded Su Xing of certain people from his previous life who cherished plastic figurines dearly.

His gaze turned to the Simulation Panel.

[Seeing Baili Qi's stubbornness, you could only negotiate. Eventually, Baili Qi was willing to exchange one-third of his "treasures" for your Life Extension Pill!]
