Chapter 150 Chapter 130: Business Associations Go Mad, Su Xing Takes Action to Deter! (First Update)
[Under the guidance of Baili Qi, you successfully met with his treasured collection.]
[Indeed, these were just some ordinary instance dungeon items, but the quantity was a bit too much…]
[Just one-third of the amount was worth more than five times what Jin Merchant Guild offered you!]
[Baili Qi, proud of his collection, introduced each instance dungeon item like a prized family heirloom, but you were only half-interested, casually storing the items into your storage ring.]
Su Xing was a bit excited to see this.
“Goodness, just one-third, and it’s already five times the quantity of Jin Merchant Guild’s offer? Doesn’t that mean… this batch of instance dungeon items is worth at least two to three hundred million modulated energy?”
Su Xing was momentarily thrilled.
If there really were that many, then he would have a foundation for his energy when breaking through to the Divinity Transformation Stage, reaching the Great Perfection of Divine Strength Realm!
“However, the premise is still to refine the Life Extension Pill!”
Su Xing sighed, wishing he could start refining right away!
Thinking this, Su Xing looked towards the simulation panel with anticipation.
[When trading with the Baili Business Association, you pretended to inadvertently reveal that you obtained this elixir from an instance dungeon, had only one piece, and you told the old master of the Baili Business Association to keep it a secret.]
[You originally thought this would keep trouble at bay, but did not expect trouble to eventually find its way to you.]
[There are no walls in the world that do not leak; word of your trade with the old master of the Baili for the Lifespan Secret Medicine quickly spread among the major powers.]
[Suddenly, you became the center of the entire storm!]
[Several top-notch commercial houses and over a dozen top commercial houses from Great Xia Country began to contact you, expressing that as long as you were willing to hand over the Lifespan Extension Elixirs, they could fulfill any request you had.]
[But you knew that once you handed them over, you would only face more trouble, so you insisted that the elixir was obtained from an instance dungeon.]
[Unexpectedly, in those days, the various powers had already thoroughly investigated your background, from your school, to your identity, to your family and friends, as well as the Tarot Commerce Association that you established with Jin Congxue.]
[Based on clues like the Nourishing Face Pill and Wound Healing Pill that you previously refined, they quickly concluded that there was a more than fifty percent chance that you had refined these pills!]
[This put you even more at the center of the storm.]
[However, considering your relationship with the Jin Merchant Guild, many commercial houses were outwardly polite to you, continuously inviting you to various high-society gatherings and overtly and covertly helping the Tarot Society secure more market resources.]
[In no time, the entire Tarot Society became a hot commodity, even showing signs of becoming a top commercial house.]
[But you knew that all this was merely because they wanted to get the news of the Lifespan Extension Pill in your hands.]
[Soon, various influential figures wanted to trade with you, offering legendary equipment, tier-four, tier-five exotic metals, or even breathtakingly beautiful people… as long as you were willing to part with a Life Extension Pill, all these could be yours!]
[Of course, there were also some powers that started to threaten you in secret, with some even offering to give your parents and sister a better life, or even telling you that your friends could also advance sooner, as long as you were willing to hand over the Lifespan Extension Pill.]
Su Xing frowned upon seeing this.
These people mentioned Su Xing’s parents and friends, seemingly wanting to trade with Su Xing, but in fact, they were using these people as leverage, right?
Their message was: We know all about you, young man, if you don’t want your relatives and friends to suffer, then you better produce the Lifespan Medicine quickly!
“But what if I directly supplied them with the Lifespan Extension Pills… What would happen?”
“If these people really intend to trade, the Lifespan Extension Pills could get me more resources, which might not be a bad thing…”
Su Xing’s thoughts stirred, preparing to give it a try.
His gaze shifted to the simulation panel.
[Though you were somewhat disdainful of this, you knew the commercial house powers were deeply rooted, and although you had the power of a Martial Emperor, there was no benefit to falling out with them, so you had to play along for now.]
[You spread the word that you indeed still had some Lifespan Extension Pills and therefore the Tarot Commerce Association would hold a small auction, inviting everyone interested in obtaining the elixir to participate in the auction two months later.]
[Sure enough, after spreading the message, your family and friends were no longer threatened, and your Tarot Commerce Association received multiple invitations in a short time, making you a highly sought-after figure in Great Xia Country.]
[One day, Jin Congxue came to you, looking somewhat embarrassed and hesitant, and you asked her what had happened.]
[She awkwardly explained that an elder of her clan was nearing the end of his life and had begged her father; subsequently, her father personally inquired if she could secure a Lifespan Extension Immortal Pill.]
[With no choice, she had to come and ask for your opinion.]
[Of course, Jin Congxue also expressed that if you found it difficult to accommodate, she would naturally refuse, but if you had spare Lifespan Extension Pills, you could give her one, and treat it as a purchase from the Jin Merchant Guild.]
[Having known Jin Congxue for a long time and having received her care, you naturally could not refuse. Thus, you ended up giving her a Life Extension Pill.]
[Afterward, the Jin Merchant Guild also sent a treasure that was worth the Life Extension Pill.]
Su Xing sighed and said:
“Alas, even Jin Congxue is helpless? With such a large business and family, the clan naturally has some elders nearing the end of their life. Given such a relationship, it indeed is hard to refuse…”
