    Jin Cong Xue nodded slightly after listening and said, “Don’t worry, this matter has reached my ears, and I won’t tell anyone without your permission.”

    Jin Cong Xue, with her broad perspective, naturally understood the importance of this matter.

    Su Xing nodded, he trusted Jin Cong Xue.

    But thinking about the enormous profits that the Longevity Elixir could bring, he asked, “If I really bring out a kind of Elixir that can extend life by three to five years, what do you think it would sell for if you auctioned it?”

    Jin Cong Xue pondered for a moment, then shook her head slightly, “Something of this level can’t be measured by money. If you have to use Great Summer Coins to calculate, one Elixir, for certain people, is worth at least one hundred billion!”

    “If you want to exchange it for something else, legendary treasures, fourth-order strange metals… or other rare treasures, could all be obtained in exchange!”

    Su Xing roughly understood the influence of the Longevity Elixir in this world.

    Longevity, has always been the ultimate dream of humanity.

    Even for those powerful individuals capable of moving mountains and filling seas, it’s the same.

    Especially in this world, where there are truly powerful individuals capable of defeating thousands, this tiny minority holds the vast majority of society’s wealth.

    Those powerful figures in the chambers of commerce, in order to prolong their lives, would definitely not hesitate to pay any price!

    After a little thought, Su Xing said to Jin Cong Xue, “I’ll give you a list, you go and collect the herbs on the list, the more the better!”

    “Eight hundred-year-old ginseng, the older the better…”

    “Millennium-old He Shou Wu, also the older the better…”

    “And there’s Lingzhi, yam, Rhodiola rosea…”

    Su Xing took out a piece of paper and wrote the herbs on the list. Jin Cong Xue carefully took it.

    After saying goodbye to Jin Cong Xue, Su Xing took the week’s worth of goods and returned to the Spirit Field Paradise.

    Su Xing first exchanged the large number of copy items he had purchased this week for simulation energy.

    Thus, Su Xing’s simulation energy surged to nearly 75 million points!

    “Exchange ten Three-Tailed Phoenix Grass (three hundred years old) and thirty Snow Bone Jade Ginseng (mature)!”

    Su Xing silently thought to himself.

    【You have successfully brought out ten Three-Tailed Phoenix Grass (three hundred years old), costing 15 million energy, with 60,333,600 energy remaining. 】

    【You have successfully brought out thirty Snow Bone Jade Ginseng (mature), costing 15 million energy, with 45,333,600 energy remaining. 】

    As the simulation prompt sound ended, dozens of herbs appeared beside Su Xing.

    The Three-Tailed Phoenix Grass, a spiritual herb with three tails that resemble a phoenix tail.

    The Snow Bone Jade Ginseng, white as jade but with red veins at the roots.

    These two are extremely precious herbs. Su Xing took a whiff of them and felt the spiritual fragrance enter his nose.

    Carefully taking out a jade box, Su Xing placed the Snow Bone Jade Ginseng inside. This stuff can only survive in extremely cold climates, Su Xing could only put it in a jade box to prevent the medicinal properties from dissipating.

    Then, he went to the Spirit Field and found a place with abundant spiritual energy. Su Xing planted the Three-Tailed Phoenix Grass there.

    After doing all this, Su Xing didn’t rush to simulate, but rather stroked his chin and pondered.

    “This Longevity Elixir is indeed a great way to make money, but it also carries some risk!”

    “Even though I have the strength of a Martial Emperor now, if I handle it poorly, I might just invite a lot of trouble and worry…”

    With Su Xing’s current strength, relying on his martial arts, he naturally wasn’t afraid of those so-called business bosses behind the scenes.

    But the problem is, martial arts, unless they reach a certain level, can’t solve everything.

    If those businesses came to Su Xing to ask for the Longevity Elixir, and Su Xing couldn’t produce it, he would probably be secretly sabotaged or tricked.

    In addition, he had to guard against the possibility that some old monsters nearing the end of their lifespans might do something insane for the Longevity Elixir…

    And besides the major human forces, if the Descent Sect learned that Su Xing could refine the Longevity Elixir, Su Xing would be in trouble.

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

    “The Longevity Elixir can be brought out, but it can’t be said that I refined it myself. It can be said that it comes from the copy, and the quantity is limited… This way, it can save me a lot of trouble!”

    Su Xing nodded slightly.

    Before he had absolute strength, Su Xing didn’t want to make the Longevity Elixir his main source of income, because the risk was too great!

    The Longevity Elixir was different from the Beauty Elixir.

    The Beauty Elixir was bought mostly by wealthy families’ daughters, or even playthings in the hands of those big figures.

    These people had money, but not power, they couldn’t threaten Su Xing.

    But the Longevity Elixir, really could attract those powerful figures with overwhelming power.

    Once exposed, even though Su Xing was not afraid of being captured and used as a pill refining machine, trouble was inevitable.

    This did not align with Su Xing’s steady personality.

    “Besides, refining the Longevity Elixir isn’t as simple as it seems!”

    Su Xing sighed.

    The Longevity Elixir, according to the formula recorded in the elixir formula, requires mostly extremely old, precious spiritual herbs.

    Although the Longevity Elixir is not difficult to refine, the spiritual herbs are hard to come by.

    Su Xing didn’t have these herbs either.

    But the lowest-level Body Nourishing Elixir and Life-Extending Elixir, the herbs were more common, and some long-year-old traditional Chinese medicine could be used to refine.

    The Body Nourishing Elixir doesn’t increase lifespan through a single dose, but instead, it is taken monthly to nourish the essence and blood in the body.

    Generally speaking, as long as the elderly are free of illness, they can take a maximum of twenty-four Body Nourishing Elixir to increase their lifespan by two years.

    And compared to the Body Nourishing Elixir, the Life-Extending Elixir is simpler and more brutal, and stronger!

    Directly taking one pill, for someone who is about to die, extends their life by three years!

    The specific effect is: even if you are already at the end of your life and are about to die in the afternoon. But if you take one pill at noon, you can live for another three years.

    These two elixirs can be used together to extend life by up to five years!

    But Su Xing didn’t plan to refine the Body Nourishing Elixir, instead, he wanted to refine the Life-Extending Elixir.

    After all, taking out a few Life-Extending Elixir was still easy to explain as being obtained from a copy.

    But if you take out hundreds of Body Nourishing Elixir, it’s not easy to explain…

    “Let’s see. This Longevity Elixir can be used as a quick way to make money. If I need energy, I can sell one or two!”

    Su Xing already had a plan in mind.

    At this time, the simulation time had cooled down, and Su Xing quietly called out the simulation panel.

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

    “Start simulation!”

    Su Xing silently thought to himself.

    【Ding! This simulation costs 3600 energy points, 45,330,000 energy points remaining, no simulation times remaining. 】

    【Simulation start!】

    【Spend 1000 energy points to draw a green talent, 10,000 energy points to draw a blue talent, 100,000 energy points to draw a purple talent. Do you want to draw?】

    “Draw a purple talent!”

    【Congratulations on getting the purple talent: Living Buddha in the World 】

    【Living Buddha in the World】: Your every move exudes the radiance of Buddhahood, your innate understanding of Buddhist scriptures and Buddhist language surpasses ordinary people, you are like a reincarnated Living Buddha, often able to comprehend Buddhism. If you devote yourself to promoting Buddhism, you will gain countless loyal followers.

    Su Xing saw the new talent and immediately gritted his teeth.

    “Damn it, how many times is this? This is freaking… I’m just fated to be with Buddha, right?”

    “I, Su Xing, swear, even if I starve to death, even if I jump off the Demon-Suppressing Instance… I will never convert to Buddhism!”

    Su Xing snorted, he really didn’t have the interest to become bald.

    Being a handsome guy is much better, isn’t it?

    Although the talent he drew was terrible, Su Xing still had high expectations for this simulation.

    【In your Spirit Field Paradise, you realized that you are in a simulation. 】

    【You touched your head and a few strands of hair fell. 】

    【You began refining elixir with an expressionless face, waiting for the right time to come. 】

    【Soon, a month passed, Jin Cong Xue found many of the herbs you had mentioned before, such as millennium ginseng, He Shou Wu, Lingzhi… 】

    【With these herbs, you can try refining the Life-Extending Elixir. 】

    【You follow the formula to refine it. The Life-Extending Elixir is not complicated to refine. You learned it in just a month. 】

    【But you are not satisfied with this, the entry-level elixir refining skills only have a 30% success rate. 】

    【So you continued to ask Jin Cong Xue to collect these herbs for you, but Jin Cong Xue said that these herbs are too precious and it would take a lot of time to collect them. 】

    【With no other choice, you could only temporarily give up and handed the few Life-Extending Elixir you had refined to Jin Cong Xue. 】

    【After knowing the medicinal effects of the Life-Extending Elixir, Jin Cong Xue couldn’t hide her shock, but you told her casually, take one elixir and see if you can invite Bai Li Qi. 】

    【Jin Cong Xue did as she was told, three days later, you met Bai Li Qi, who was covered in dust and grime, and the dying Bai Li Tu, the patriarch of the Bai Li Chamber of Commerce. 】

    【After hearing that you have life-extending medicine, Bai Li Tu travelled thousands of miles to come in person. And Bai Li Qi even said that as long as you are willing to give him the Life-Extending Elixir, you can ask for anything you want. And you will always be a distinguished guest of the Bai Li family. 】

    【You took the opportunity to make a request, wanting the copy items that Bai Li Qi had collected. 】

    【But unexpectedly, Bai Li Qi, who had just patted his chest and assured you, seemed hesitant. He asked if you could change your request. He said those copy items were his lifeblood! 】

    【You turned your gaze to Old Master Bai Li Tu. The old man was furious and hit Bai Li Qi on the head with his cane several times. 】

    【Bai Li Qi still gritted his teeth, as if he valued those copy items very much. He said that the old man had lived for five hundred years and had earned back his investment. But if he didn’t have those copy items, his life would be without meaning! 】

    【You were curious about this. Why would Bai Li Qi rather let his father die than give up those “useless” copy items? Was there some shocking secret hidden in these items? 】

    【Later, you discovered that the copy items were indeed ordinary, it was just that Bai Li Qi’s greatest desire in life was to collect all the strange things in the world… which are the copy items. 】

    【That’s why Bai Li Qi was so reluctant to give them up. He had come to view these copy items as his spiritual sustenance. 】

    Su Xing saw this and was speechless. He never thought that the young master of the Bai Li Chamber of Commerce would have such a strange quirk. He was practically a hardcore “trash collector”…

    It reminded Su Xing of those otaku in his previous life who treated plastic figurines like their lives.

    His eyes fell on the simulation panel.

    【Seeing Bai Li Qi’s stubbornness, you could only negotiate with him. In the end, Bai Li Qi was willing to give up one-third of his “collection” in exchange for this Life-Extending Elixir! 】
