“Rest assured, now that I’ve heard of it, I won’t speak of it without your permission.”

Given Jin Congxue’s perspective, he naturally understood the importance of this matter.

Su Xing nodded, for he trusted Jin Congxue a great deal.

But thinking of the huge profits that the Lifespan Extension Pill might bring, he asked again,

“If I really did bring out a kind of elixir that could extend one’s life by three to five years, how much do you think you could sell it for if you were to auction it?”

After pondering for a moment, Jin Congxue shook his head slightly and said,

“Such an item cannot be measured in terms of money. If one must put it in terms of Great Xia Coins, for some people, it wouldn’t be excessive even if valued at a hundred billion!”

“If we’re talking about bartering, legendary treasures, Fourth-Rank Special Metals… even other rare and exotic treasures would all be fair trades!”

Su Xing had a rough understanding of the influence that the Lifespan Extension Pill wielded in this world.

Immortality has always been mankind’s ultimate dream.

Even for those powerful individuals capable of moving mountains and filling seas, it was no different.

Especially in this world, where truly formidable warriors who could face tens of thousands alone, this minuscule portion of individuals controlled the vast majority of societal wealth.

Those moguls of commerce would definitely spare no expense to prolong their lives!

After a brief consideration, Su Xing said to Jin Congxue,

“I will give you a list, and you collect as many of the medicinal herbs on it as possible!”

“Ginseng over eight hundred years old, the older the better…”

“Polygonum multiflorum that’s over a millennium old, again, the older the better…”

“And also Lingzhi, wild yam, rhodiola…”

Su Xing took out a piece of paper and wrote the medicinal herbs on the list, which Jin Congxue accepted solemnly.

After bidding farewell to Jin Congxue, Su Xing returned to the Spirit Field Blessed Land with the wares for the week.

First, Su Xing converted the large amount of Instance Dungeon Items he had purchased that week into simulator energy.

With this, Su Xing’s simulator energy surged to nearly 75 million points!

“Exchange for Three-Tailed Fengcao and Snow Bone Jade Ginseng!” Su Xing silently uttered in his heart.

[You have successfully brought out ten stalks of Three-Tailed Fengcao (three hundred years old), costing 15 million energy, leaving 60,333,600 points remaining.]

[You have successfully brought out thirty stalks of Snow Bone Jade Ginseng (matured), costing 15 million points of energy, leaving 45,333,600 points remaining.]

As the simulator’s prompt sounded, numerous medicinal herbs appeared beside Su Xing.

The Spiritual Medicine named Three-Tailed Fengcao had blooms in threes resembling a phoenix tail.

Snow Bone Jade Ginseng, white as jade but with red threads bleeding through its roots.

Both were extremely precious medicinal herbs, and just a sniff by Su Xing near his nose made him feel the spiritual essence invigorate his senses.

Handling them with utmost care, Su Xing placed the Snow Bone Jade Ginseng into a jade box; this substance could only survive in extremely cold climates, so Su Xing had to store it in a jade box to prevent the medicinal properties from evaporating.

Then he went into the Spirit Field, found a spot abundant with Spiritual Energy, and planted the Three-Tailed Fengcao there.

Having done all this, Su Xing did not rush to the simulation, but instead stroked his chin thoughtfully.

“The Lifespan Extension Elixir is indeed a brilliant way to make money, but it also comes with certain risks!”

“Even now, with the strength of a Martial Emperor, I still might bring upon myself a wealth of trouble and annoyance if I don’t handle this properly…”

With Su Xing’s current strength, relying on martial power, he naturally didn’t fear the shadowy backers of those commerce associations.

But the problem was, unless one’s strength was overwhelmingly superior, it didn’t solve everything.

If those businesses came to Su Xing looking for the Lifespan Extension Pill and he couldn’t provide it, it’s likely they’d resort to underhanded tactics or trip him up behind his back.

Moreover, he had to be on guard against some old monsters with dwindling lifespans who, desiring the Lifespan Extension Pill, might commit acts of madness…

Besides the major forces of the Human Race, if the Descending Sect were to learn that Su Xing could refine Lifespan Extension Pills, he would then be in trouble.

After contemplating for a while, Su Xing thought of a compromise.

“The Lifespan Extension Elixir can be brought out, but I cannot say that I refined it myself. It could be said to have come from an instance dungeon, and available only in a limited quantity… this way, a lot of hassle can be spared!” Su Xing nodded slightly to himself.

Until he possessed absolute strength, Su Xing did not want to rely on the Lifespan Extension Pill as his main source of income due to the high risk!

The Lifespan Extension Pill is different from the Nourishing Face Pill.

Those who purchase the Nourishing Face Pill are mostly wealthy young ladies or playthings in the hands of influential figures.

While these individuals have money, they lack power and pose no threat to Su Xing.

But the Lifespan Extension Pill would indeed attract those immensely influential and powerful people.

If exposed, even though Su Xing wouldn’t be afraid of being captured as an Alchemy machine, it wouldn’t spare him the troubles.

This did not align with Su Xing’s cautious nature.

“Besides, the preparation of the Lifespan Extension Elixir isn’t as simple as it seems!” Su Xing sighed.

According to the recipes for the Lifespan Extension Elixir, most of the ingredients required are very old and precious Spiritual Medicines.

Although Lifespan Extension Pills were not difficult to refine, the Spiritual Medicine needed for them was scarce.

Su Xing did not have any of these medicinal materials on hand.

However, for the most basic Vitality Nourishing Pills and Life Extension Pills, the required materials were somewhat common and could be refined from some long-established traditional medicines.

Vitality Nourishing Pills did not increase one’s lifespan with a single dose, but required monthly consumption to maintain the essence and blood within the body.

Generally speaking, a healthy elderly person could take up to twenty-four Vitality Nourishing Pills which could extend their life by two years.

Compared with Vitality Nourishing Pills, Life Extension Pills were much simpler and more powerful!

Just by taking one pill, a person at the brink of death could extend their life by three years!

The specific effect was, even if you were running out of time and close to death in the afternoon, taking one in the morning would let you live and jump around for another three years.

Used together, the two pills could potentially extend life by five years!

But Su Xing had no plans to refine the Vitality Nourishing Pills; he wanted to make the Life Extension Pills.

After all, taking out a few Life Extension Pills could be easily explained as obtained from an instance dungeon.

But if he produced hundreds of Vitality Nourishing Pills, it would not be easy to explain…

“Let’s wait and see. These lifespan-extending elixirs can serve as a way to make quick money. If I’m ever low on energy, I can sell one or two!”

Su Xing already had a plan in mind.

The simulation time had now cooled down and Su Xing softly summoned the simulation panel.

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

“Begin the simulation!”

Su Xing silently intoned.

[Ding! This simulation costs 3,600 energy points, leaving a balance of 45.33 million energy points, with unlimited remaining simulation attempts.]

[Simulation begins!]

[Drawing a green talent costs 1,000 energy points, blue talent costs 10,000 energy points, and drawing a purple talent costs 100,000 energy points, would you like to draw?]

“Draw the Purple Talent!”

[Congratulations, you have received the Purple Talent: Living Buddha Among Men]

[Living Buddha Among Men]: Every action you take radiates the aura of Buddhist nature, and you naturally have an extraordinary comprehension of Buddhist scriptures and language. You are like a reincarnated living Buddha, often realizing the profundity of Buddhism. If you dedicate yourself to spreading Buddhism, you will gather countless devout followers.

Frustrated upon seeing the newly acquired talent, Su Xing gritted his teeth.

“What the hell, how many times is this now? Damn it… am I just destined to be with Buddha, huh?”

“I, Su Xing, swear that I’d rather starve to death or jump off the Demon-Subduing Pass than convert to Buddhism!”

Su Xing huffed in irritation; he really had no interest in going bald!

Being a good-looking guy was nice; why can’t it stay that way?

Although the talent draw was disappointing, Su Xing still had high hopes for this simulation.

[In the Spirit Field Blessed Land, you become aware that you are in a simulation.]

[You touch the top of your head, and several strands of hair fall out.]

[You start to refine elixirs expressionlessly, patiently waiting for the right moment.]

[Quickly a month passes, and Jin Congxue finds you many of the medicinal ingredients you mentioned before, millennium ginseng, fleece-flower root, Lingzhi…]

[With these ingredients, you can attempt to refine the Life Extension Pill.]

[You follow the pill formula to refine it; the process for Life Extension Pills is not complex, taking only a month to master the basics.]

[However, you’re not satisfied with just the basics, as a beginner’s alchemy skills only ensure a 30% success rate.]

[So you continue to have Jin Congxue help you gather these ingredients, but she expresses that these materials are too precious, and collecting them requires a lot of time.]

[Out of options, you temporarily give up and hand over the few Life Extension Pills you’ve made to Jin Congxue.]

[Jin Congxue hides her astonishment at the efficacy of the Life Extension Pills and you nonchalantly tell her to take one and see if she can arrange a meeting with Baili Qi.]

[Following your words, Jin Congxue acts accordingly. Three days later, you meet the travel-weary Baili Qi and the utterly spent head of the Baili Merchant Group, Baili Tu.]

[Upon hearing about your longevity elixir, Baili Tu came from afar personally, while Baili Qi expresses that as long as you give him the Life Extension Pill, you can make any demand, and you will always be the esteemed guest of the Baili family.]

[You seize the opportunity to make a request, wanting the instance dungeon items that Baili Qi has been collecting.]

[But unexpectedly, Baili Qi, who had just assured you heartily, now seems hesitant; he asks if you could make another request, indicating that those instance dungeon items are his lifeblood!]

[You turn your gaze to the elder Baili Tu, who, upon hearing this, becomes so furious that he grabs his walking stick and whacks Baili Qi over the head several times.]

[Baili Qi, however, still stubbornly resists, indicating a deep value for the instance dungeon items; he claims the elder has lived well over five hundred years and has earned his keep, but without those items, he’d lose his faith in life’s second half!]

[Your curiosity is piqued; why would Baili Qi prefer to let his own father die than part with those “useless” instance dungeon items? Could there be some earth-shattering secret hidden within them?]

[Later, you discover that the instance dungeon items are indeed very ordinary. Baili Qi’s greatest desire in life was to collect all the rarities of the world… which were the instance dungeon items.]

[It was precisely because of this that Baili Qi was so reluctant to let them go, essentially making the instance dungeon items his emotional support.]

Su Xing was speechless upon seeing this, having not expected the young master of the Baili Merchant Group to have such an eccentric obsession—basically a seasoned “trash collector”…

It reminded Su Xing of those guys in his previous life who would treasure plastic figurines like their lives depended on it.

He glanced at the simulation panel.

[Seeing Baili Qi’s stubbornness, you can only negotiate further. In the end, Baili Qi agrees to part with one-third of his “treasured collection” in exchange for one of your Life Extension Pills!]
