While Others Are Practicing Leveling, I Am Cultivating Immortality

Chapter 181 Enter the Red Lotus Demon Cave dungeon again and collect exotic metal ores (5k)

 After some explanation, Su Xing realized that he had made a big mistake, and he felt embarrassed immediately.

So he quickly changed the topic and said:

“Ahem, Sister Xue, how is the Tarot Club’s business lately? Do you need my help?”

 As soon as the business matter came up, Jin Congxue's attention was instantly drawn away.

“The business of the Tarot Society has been good recently... According to your instructions, I will focus more manpower on the mining of white equipment and exotic metals..."

After saying that, Jin Congxue paused and said with some sadness:

“However, there are thousands of employees mining the six different metal dungeons... This is a huge expense every month..."

“The current main source of income for our chamber of commerce is beauty pills. Nowadays, the number of people buying beauty pills is basically saturated, and the sales of beauty pills are not as good as before, so the capital turnover is slightly poor..."

 Su Xing nodded slightly after hearing this.

 He has to provide thousands of beauty pills a week, which is 20,000 to 30,000 pills a month.

 Coupled with a beauty elixir, it can ensure your appearance for one to three months.

Some rich women even stock up on dozens of beauty pills. Indeed, the market is slightly saturated.

After thinking for a while, Su Xing said:

“Here, I can also refine a high-end version of the beauty elixir that can last for one year or even three years!”

“Not only can I keep my appearance, I can even look ten years younger! I will give you the elixir later, and I should be able to earn a lot of money...”

 The one he refined before he woke up was always a low-end version of the beauty elixir.

 All common ginseng is used.

But now a large number of ten-year-old spiritual ginseng in the Su Xing Ling Field have matured. If these are used to refine it, it will be enough to refine a real beauty elixir.

I don’t know how much more effective it is than the low-end version. It’s no different from a fairy medicine to mortals!

Jin Congxue’s eyes lit up after hearing this, obviously very interested.

 “Ten years younger...the appearance will last one to three years?”

“His~ If such a pill really existed, it would be extremely hard to find, and the price would be ten times or even dozens of times higher!”

"But... we can't sell this high-quality beauty elixir on a large scale like before. We have to be hungry for marketing!"

Jin Congxue is indeed a strong business woman, and she quickly made several plans to sell beauty pills.

Su Xing was very satisfied with what he saw. With Jin Congxue’s help, Su Xing was very confident about the development of the Tarot Club.

Jin Congxue thought for a moment and then said:

“Big boss~ I have recently thought about expanding overseas markets... The United States, Huangdao and other six countries and twelve regions will all be very fond of the beauty pill!”

“The domestic market is saturated, but there is still a big blue ocean in the international market!”

After hearing this, Su Xing nodded slightly and said:

“I’ll leave these matters to you. If you have any questions, just discuss them with me…”

After talking about the business, Su Xing walked around in a circle skillfully, and after some exploration with his spiritual consciousness, he returned to the dormitory and entered the blessed land of the spiritual field.

 The new week's goods were exchanged for simulated energy, which was worth more than 90 million.

 In this way, the awakening energy returns to the level of 150 million.

  On the afternoon of September 9, 2024 in the new era, Su Xing started a new round of simulation on time.

 “Start simulation!”

【Ding! This simulation consumes 5,200 energy points, leaving 150.16 million energy points, and no remaining simulation times. 】

  【Simulation begins! 】

  【It costs 10,000 energy points to extract blue talents, and 10,000 energy points to extract purple talents. Do you want to extract them? 】

 “Extract the purple talent!”

 Suddenly wake up and read silently.

  【Ding, congratulations on getting the purple talent, I am not the rain god! 】

 【I am not the God of Rain】: Purple talent, whenever you sing loudly and the number of onlookers exceeds 10,000, the probability of rain in that place within seven days is 100%. (Have a ball~come to the desert to have a concert!)

 Su Xing curled his lips after seeing the new talent and muttered:

“Good guy, it’s another conceptual talent? Is it a mandatory rain talent? But, this thing seems to be of no use!”

 Su Xing shook his head slightly, and for a moment he didn't think of the appropriate use case for this talent.

Look at the simulation panel.

  【In Lingtian Cave, you realize that you are simulating. 】

　　【You stayed in Kyoto City for a few days, and then set off to prepare for the northern border area of ​​Daxia. 】

　　【You disguise yourself and gather your breath, use the art of shielding the heavenly secrets on yourself, and fly with your sword at an altitude of tens of thousands of meters. 】

  【Half an hour later, you arrived at Mai City, Northwest Province. 】

　　【According to the information in your memory, you quickly found a heavily guarded dungeon, the Red Lotus Demon Cave! 】

　　【You cast a few spells, successfully evaded these guarding professionals, and entered the Red Lotus Demon Cave dungeon. 】

Seeing this, Su Xing nodded slightly and said:

“During the previous simulation, I found a small high-level exotic metal mining area in this copy of the Red Lotus Demon Cave...”

“I wonder how many foreign metals are contained in this copy?”

Su Xing was thoughtful. He was seriously lacking in simulated energy at this time. If he could not obtain simulated energy through new means.

The energy supply of less than 100 million for that week is definitely not enough to wake up and continue to practice.

Hence, Su Xing set his sights on the copy of the Red Lotus Demon Cave that he had discovered before.

 This mining dungeon might give Su Xing a big surprise?

However, for the sake of safety, Su Xing is going to simulate it in advance in this simulation to see if there are any risks.

Thinking of this, Su Xing silently said:

 “Use the immersive simulation feature for 24 hours!”

【Ding, you successfully used immersive simulation, spent 2.4 million energy points, and have 147.66 million remaining energy points. 】

As the simulator prompt sounded, Su Xing's vision changed.

 The next second, Su Xing appeared in a strange environment.

 The temperature in the air suddenly rose by more than 50 degrees, directly reaching a high temperature of nearly 80 degrees Celsius.

Su Xing frowned slightly, feeling the heat wave coming from the air.

Of course, this temperature will have no impact on waking up.

“Is this the Red Lotus Demon Cave dungeon?”

Su Xing looked at the surrounding environment. He was surrounded by rocks that were red under the high temperature, and his hands were still a little hot when he put them on them.

The space in the cave is not large, barely enough for a person who is awake.

Su Xing looked forward, only to see a bottomless cave beneath his feet, which seemed to point directly to the depths of the earth.

"According to the description in the previous simulation text... there should be a Balrog deep in the Red Lotus Demon Cave copy. Defeat him and go deeper... you can find the foreign metal mining area."

Su Xing was thoughtful. He used the immersive simulation exploration this time to practice in advance for future exploration in the real world.

Su Xing no longer hesitated, and with a thought in his heart, he used Yuanli Armor and Body Protecting Qi at the same time to protect Su Xing.

“Then... let’s explore deeper...”

 Wake up and use your spiritual power to fly quickly towards the cave at your feet.

The further down the cave goes, the higher the surrounding temperature becomes.

 About ten minutes later, Su Xing estimated that he had reached a depth of tens of kilometers underground.

At this moment, the surrounding temperature is getting higher and higher, rising from the original eighty or ninety degrees to more than five hundred degrees.

"This Red Lotus Demon Cave is really bottomless..."

Su Xing frowned slightly, speeded up and continued to explore deeper.

More than an hour passed like this, and Su Xing estimated that he was at least a few hundred kilometers away from the ground.

 At this time, it was already dark and lightless, with only a high temperature of one to two thousand degrees Celsius. Ordinary creatures could not survive here at all.

Along the way, Su Xing actually encountered some special monsters living in such extreme high temperatures.

Most of these monsters are at the master level. The awakening only slightly stimulates the vitality and kills them easily.

“It’s already hundreds of kilometers away from the ground... How deep is this Red Lotus Demon Cave?”

Su Xing sighed, could it be that this devil's cave is a thousand kilometers away from the ground?

The speed of awakening is getting faster and faster, and ordinary monsters encountered along the way are instantly killed.

Until a few hours later, Su Xing felt that the space was getting wider and wider, and the surrounding temperature reached an astonishing 3,000 degrees Celsius.

 A faint light came from the special ore on the stone wall.

The awakening slowed down slightly, and the consciousness was released like a tide.

As expected, I felt a monster with an extremely powerful aura thousands of meters away.

"Is that... the Balrog?"

Su Xing was stunned for a moment.

In his spiritual perception, the appearance of this Balrog is somewhat similar to the **** demon in Western mythology.

Has a head with two horns, a body made of magma, and two blazing flames in its eye sockets.

He is ten meters tall and has an evil aura all over his body.

"Judging from the aura...this Balrog is indeed the peak strength of the Martial Emperor..."

Su Xing frowned slightly. He felt that the environment in the Red Lotus Demon Cave dungeon was too harsh for ordinary professionals.

“Thousands of degrees of high temperature and an environment with weak oxygen... Even a master-level professional may not be able to survive in such a place..."

 Su Xing has a bad premonition.

Such a harsh environment that low-level professionals cannot enter, which also means that Awakening cannot recruit a large number of people to mine ores.

 You can’t ask a king-level expert to mine ores, right?

This...seems a little unrealistic.

“Forget it...let’s deal with this Balrog first, and we’ll figure out how to mine the exotic metal ores later...”

 Shu Xing's heart moved, and he flew quickly towards the Balrog.

 “Ho **** ho~”

Seemingly sensing Su Xing's rapidly approaching aura, Balrog roared loudly at Su Xing, beating his chest with both hands, as if declaring his ownership of the territory...

However!

 Su Xing acted as if he hadn't seen it. After quickly approaching the Balrog, his energy wrapped around his fists.

 No bells and whistles!

 A terrifying punch!

　　Boom!

 The huge force of one million tons punched the Balrog directly on the chest.

Two blazing flames in the Balrog's eyes slowly extinguished...

With just one punch, the Balrog at the peak of the Martial Emperor died!

"Huh~" "With my current strength and the entanglement of Yuanli... I can't even catch a punch under the legend!"

The corner of Su Xing's mouth raised slightly, and then his consciousness quickly spread out, trying to detect whether there were any hidden enemies around him.

After confirming that there were no enemies, he woke up and went to the Balrog's lair. As expected, he found a cave that was several feet wide and bottomless.

“This cave...should lead to the magma pool, right?”

Su Xing murmured.

 He had bathed in this magma pool in previous simulations, trying to break the limit, but unfortunately he failed.

 The foreign metal mining area is near the magma pool.

 Shu Xing's heart moved and he walked towards the magma cave.

 As the awakening approaches the magma layer, the surrounding temperature also rises sharply.

 Soon the temperature soared to over 5,000 degrees Celsius.

 Su Xing’s brows furrowed even more tightly. With such high temperatures, professionals below the Heavenly King level would not be able to survive.

Soon, Su Xing reached the magma layer.

 This is a relatively open, flat rocky area.

In front of you is a steaming magma pool, and there are many black rocks next to the magma pool.

 The rocks are mixed with some reddish special ores.

 It’s a different metal!

Su Xing slowly approached the rock, stretched out his hand to touch it, and frowned slightly:

“This foreign metal is actually inferior to other ores... Doesn’t this mean that it needs to be refined before it can be turned into a pure foreign metal?”

 There was some miscalculation in the secret passage to wake up.

 In these huge rocks that are several meters high, the proportion of red exotic metals is probably only 3% to 5%.

If you want to purify it into different metals, you don’t know how much time it will take...

Su Xing is a little disappointed. The exotic metal ore needs to be refined and purified to obtain it completely.

Professionals below the Heavenly King level cannot enter the depths of this devil's cave, and therefore cannot refine and purify foreign metals.

 Things...seem to be in an unsolvable situation.

“Wait a minute...Who said it needs to be purified before it can be converted into simulated energy?”

 Suddenly wake up.

His simulator absorbs all energy-containing substances, and it does not only absorb pure foreign metals.

 This means that Awakening can be absorbed together with the accompanying rocks of the alien metal belt!

"That's right! I can completely absorb this entire rock directly... No need to refine it!"

“It’s just that I am in a simulation at the moment and cannot use the simulator’s capabilities…”

“But we can mine all the ores containing foreign metals first!”

 Su Xing did as he was told, and then took out the Mo Bing Sword. After the Yuan Power attached, he started to try mining.

Mo Bingjian sliced ​​through these huge rocks like tofu.

Shu Xing cut them into standard cubic ores of one meter in length, one meter in width and one meter in height, and put them into the Lingtian Cave.

 Each piece of ore is exactly one cubic meter.

 After working for more than ten hours, Su Xing successfully dug nearly a thousand cubic meters of ore, all of which was loaded into the Lingtian Cave by Su Xing.

“Next, just look at how much energy this batch of rocks doped with foreign metals is worth…”

 The corners of Su Xing’s mouth raised slightly.

As for the detection method, it is very simple, although in the simulation, awakening cannot use the function of absorbing substances and converting them into energy.

 But after the simulation is over, all you need to do to wake up is how much energy this batch of ore is worth.

 The price difference earned by the black-hearted middlemen is then removed, which is the energy value contained in this batch of ore.

 Soon, the simulation time ended and he woke up and returned to the real world.

“A thousand cubic meters of ore mixed with foreign metals should be worth a lot of energy, right?”

Su Xing rubbed his chin and murmured.

Look at the simulation panel.

　　【You obtained a total of one thousand cubic meters of ore mixed with foreign metals in the Red Lotus Demon Cave. 】

  【The next day, you left the Red Lotus Demon Cave instance and returned to Kyoto City. 】

  【In the following time, you will still refine elixirs and practice sword control every day. 】

　　【Until a month later, you set off for Shuangqing City. 】

　　　【You disguise yourself and hold your breath, and you also shield yourself from the secrets of heaven, so that the old dog of the sect cannot sense the threat you pose to him. 】

  【You suppressed your spiritual consciousness and swept through Shuangqing City unscrupulously, trying to lure out Zong Laogou. 】

 【Finally, three days later, Zong Laogou found you. 】

“It’s finally here, Old Dog Zong! Before I kill you in the real world, I still have to simulate it first…”

Su Xing saw this movement in his heart and said silently again:

 “Use the immersive simulation feature for one hour!”

　　【Ding, you successfully used immersive simulation, spent 100,000 energy points, and have 147.56 million remaining energy points. 】

 The reason why Su Xing used the immersive simulation function again was naturally because he had murderous intentions towards Zong Laogou.

 If you want to kill Zong Laogou in reality, be cautious and prepare to practice in the simulation.

 The next second, the environment in front of Su Xing changed and he appeared in a wild place.

“Senior! May I ask where you come from?”

 After waking up, an old man in black robe said in a hoarse voice.

 There was still respect for Su Xing in his tone.

 “This...is Zong Laogou?”

 Su Xing's heart moved and he looked at Zong Laogou.

Zong Laogou looks ordinary, like an ordinary old man.

 But Su Xing could tell at a glance that this guy was also disguised.

“Oh? You asked me which world of immortality I come from?”

Su Xing did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically.

 Zong Laogou was suddenly startled, as if he noticed something was wrong with Su Xing's tone.

 But the Bagua arithmetic he had relied on for many years did not warn him.

Zong Laogou felt a little more relieved, so he bravely said:

“Senior, you must have been asleep for a long time after the Great End of Heaven and Earth. Are you not very familiar with this world?”

"I woke up a hundred or two hundred years earlier than you...just enough to be your guide!"

Zong Laogou smiled and his tone became more respectful.

 Because in the eyes of Zong Laogou, Su Xing is now a monk in the Return to the Void Realm with extremely powerful spiritual consciousness!

 Seeing Zong Laogou's humble appearance, Su Xing smiled.

 The next second, it suddenly exploded!

 Yuanli wrapped around his fists, and a million tons of power directly hit Zong Laogou's body.

　　Boom!

 Zong Laogou still had a look of shock on his face before he died.

It seemed that he didn't understand why Su Xing suddenly took action, nor why he didn't send an early warning based on his thousand-year-old Bagua arithmetic skills.

Zong Laogou's body exploded on the spot, turning into a mist of blood.

 And Su Xing also picked up Zong Laogou’s storage magic weapon.

Subsequently, Zong Laogou’s soul left his body and quickly fled for his life in the distance.

But when awakened, he was directly trapped by the Fire Lifting Technique.

Before he died, Zong Laogou’s soul was still in disbelief and said:

"Senior, we are strangers to each other and have no enmity... Why did you kill me?"

After hearing this, Su Xing sneered and said:

 “Haha, you don’t know me...but I’ve known you for a long time!”

 Having said that, Su Xing didn’t hesitate, and directly crushed Zong Laogou’s soul.

At this point, Zong Laogou’s soul was completely destroyed and he completely disappeared from this world.

 “Things...seem to be going too smoothly!”

 Su Xing frowned slightly, opened the storage artifact, and after confirming that all the treasures belonging to Zong Laogou were in it, he breathed a sigh of relief.

“So, Old Dog Zong was really killed by me so easily?”

　　I haven’t come back to my senses for a while after waking up.

Half a year ago, Zong Laogou was still an insurmountable mountain.

 Tortured Su Xing, and almost refined Su Xing into a human elixir.

 But now, Su Xing killed Zong Laogou instantly with just one punch!

 This is the gap caused by absolute strength!

"Indeed, it went too smoothly..."

 Su Xing has always been cautious, always feeling that there are some traps waiting for him.

 But he soon woke up and shook his head.

“That’s right, I don’t think it’s a day or two for an old dog... I’ve done this simulation dozens of times. Isn’t it certain that he will die if he is calculating mentally or not?”

 Su Xing summed it up.

This time, he won because of his calculations and surprise.

Although Zong Laogou was at the peak of his divine transformation, the habits he had developed over thousands of years made him overly trust his own Bagua arithmetic in warning of crises.

But he met an old guy like Su Xing, and he had been planning to kill him for hundreds of years (in the simulator).

 Even made his Bagua fortune-telling technique ineffective, and finally killed him.

 After killing Zong Laogou, Su Xing did not stay long, but prepared to leave with his sword.

About half an hour later, the awakening in the sky suddenly stopped and flew towards a deep mountain.

At this time, the surroundings were quiet, and only the chirping of birds could be heard in the mountains.

But Su Xing frowned and said loudly to the empty surroundings:

“Since your Excellency is here, why don’t you show up?”
