Chapter 151: Chapter 130: Business Associations Go Mad, Su Xing Takes Action to Deter! (Second Update)
Su Xing felt somewhat helpless, the Lifespan Extension Pill involved too many interests, and those involved in this matter, even a Martial Emperor, might not be able to stay out of it.
“If the Lifespan Extension Pill really becomes public, I’m afraid there will be a lot more trouble!”
Su Xing sighed and wondered to what extent the affair with the Lifespan Extension Pills would develop?
[Walls have ears, and the news of you giving Lifespan Extension Pills to the Jin Merchant Guild quickly stirred up another commotion!]
[In no time, all the major powers and influential figures in the Great Xia Country knew that you had produced two Lifespan Extension Pills, and where there were two, there would be a third!]
[This meant that you truly had the ability to concoct elixirs!]
[Suddenly, countless people of power personally came to visit you, all hoping to secure a Lifespan Extension Pill for themselves, but you insisted that the pills would naturally be sold at the auction next month.]
[However, there were some people with whom you had close relationships, and you couldn’t refuse them.]
[One day, your good brother Yu Yan came to you, telling you that his teacher, a practitioner at the Heavenly King Level, was nearing the end of his life. Knowing the relationship between Yu Yan and you, he too wished to obtain a Lifespan Extension Pill from you.]
[With no other choice, since Yu Yan had helped you a lot and was your best brother during your college years, and his teacher had always been good to him, Yu Yan couldn’t refuse the request.]
[Helplessly, you took out the third Life Extension Pill and gave it to Yu Yan.]
[Soon, the news spread again, and later, not only your friends, but even your parents and sister, were entrusted by others with the hope of obtaining a Lifespan Extension Pill.]
[Feeling helpless, you knew that matters of personal connections were the hardest to handle. You had to pick and choose, refusing most requests but agreeing to a small portion that you truly couldn’t decline.]
[Even so, within the span of a single month, you had sold five or six Life Extension Pills under the pressure of these personal connections.]
[Fortunately, you had a few remaining Life Extension Pills from your previous alchemy, and Jin Congxue had pulled some strings to help you acquire some millennia-aged herbs.]
[You began the alchemy, and you had about ten Life Extension Pills in your possession.]
[Soon, the day of the prearranged auction approached, and you released the news in advance, that eight Life Extension Pills would be sold at this auction.]
[In an instant, all of the major forces in Great Xia were abuzz, the shadowy bosses of the major business associations, leaders of the top practitioners’ unions… even officials from the Great Xia Military sent people to participate in the auction!]
[The auction proceeded smoothly, and through the eight Life Extension Pills, you amassed a fortune unimaginable, enough to elevate the Tarot Commerce Association into the ranks of the top business associations.]
[But what you never expected happened just as the auction was about to conclude—an accident occurred.]
[Four or five masked men burst into the auction, intent on murder and theft, to seize these Life Extension Pills!]
[Surprised, you couldn’t believe that there were actually people so bold, daring to rob and kill right in front of all these powerful figures?]
[Very soon, these power figures sent out their Heavenly King Level bodyguards to strike, and a Martial Emperor from the Great Xia Military also took action personally.]
[But to your greater surprise, these masked individuals were unreasonably strong, each exuding a presence that was comparable to a Martial Emperor’s!]
[Seeing that they were no match, the power figures were shocked and tried to escape.]
[Watching the auction descend into chaos, you naturally wouldn’t stand by and do nothing, deciding to take action and revealing your own strength!]
[At the Divine Strength Realm, you were fully capable of contending with a Martial Emperor. If it were for a short period, you could even hold off two Martial Emperors!]
[With your intervention, the auction managed to hold out until reinforcements from the Great Xia Military arrived, and the black-clad figures reluctantly retreated!]
[From then on, all the Elders of the powerful forces could hardly believe their eyes, you, so young, were actually such a powerful Martial Emperor Level practitioner.]
[Their gazes towards you were filled with deep wariness.]
Su Xing frowned slightly upon seeing this.
As far as he knew, there were few forces in the Great Xia Country capable of producing several Martial Emperor Level practitioners.
Apart from the Great Xia Military, it was the Descending Sect!
“So, could it be the Descending Sect that made a move, trying to seize the Lifespan Extension Pills?”
Su Xing nodded slightly, it wasn’t beyond the realm of possibility.
But it could also be some powerful force Su Xing was unaware of, trying to snatch the Lifespan Extension Pills.
“Alas, these complications with the Lifespan Extension Pill really are not few… If I want to sell it, I must be careful and cautious!”
Su Xing sighed, looking at the simulation panel.
[After the auction ended, your strength was also exposed to the eyes of all the major powers in Great Xia.]
[Everyone finds it hard to believe that you are just over twenty years old and your strength is already comparable to that of a Martial Emperor, truly the first genius of the Human Race in thousands of years!]
[Even the Great Xia Military extended an olive branch to you, hoping you would become an honorary general.]
[You are not interested in these offers because you know that there are more important things waiting for you to do.]
[You must join the Descending Sect in two months to obtain enough medicinal materials, as that will be the capital for extending your simulation time!]
[Thus, you declined to meet any guests and concentrated on trying to fathom the alchemy of the Infant Tempering Pill.]
[Now the two key main ingredients for the Infant Tempering Pill have been collected; the remaining medicines you need to get from the treasure vaults of the Descending Sect.]
[In the coming period, you focused on studying elixirs.]
[You originally thought the storm over the Lifespan Extension Pill would pass quickly, but unexpectedly, in less than half a month, your parents were threatened again.]
[Although your Martial Emperor-level strength is strong enough, you cannot guard against some underhanded schemes.]
[The most crucial issue is that human desires are endless, and knowing that you can truly concoct Lifespan Extension Pills, some even set their sights on your Life Extension Pill formula!]
[They wanted to threaten your parents to obtain the formula for the Life Extension Pill!]
[And this… made you utterly furious! Thus, you investigated in secret and finally found the business association that was threatening you.]
[This business association was named Black Dragon, a top-tier business association that had expanded rapidly in recent decades, growing from a first-class association to a top-notch one in just a few decades.]
[Your investigation revealed that there was a Martial Emperor-level enshrined in this association, which was the reason for their arrogance.]
[But you were not the least bit afraid, the continual troubles had already made you want to kill one to warn the others.]
[So you went straight to Black Dragon and fought a grand battle with the Martial Emperor enshrined there, emerging victorious and then promptly killing all the high-ranking members of the threatening business association!]
[This act immediately caused a strong dissatisfaction among the major commercial associations and powers in Great Xia!]
[Apart from the Jin Merchant Guild, Baili Business Association, and Great Xia officials, who were on better terms with you, many business associations jointly accused you of being lawless.]
[But you dismissed this with contempt, and announced you would stop supplying the Life Extension Pill to these associations!]
[This made them even more enraged, slandering and denouncing you, but you knew all they wanted was just the formula for the Life Extension Pill!]
[You disdainfully ignored them, focusing on alchemy every day.]
[To your surprise, one day, someone you did not expect came looking for you.]
[This person was Protector Zong of the Descending Sect!]
[You were taken aback when you saw Protector Zong, then instinctively became alert; although you had the strength of a Martial Emperor, you were still no match for him, and if he meant you harm, you could only choose to flee.]
[Protector Zong greeted you with a smile and whispered to ask if you had mastered the art of body snatching and whether this young man was your target of reincarnation?]
Su Xing saw this and frowned slightly, murmuring to himself:
“What is Damned Zong up to? He’s saying I’ve taken possession of myself?”
But then Su Xing realized.
It must be because Su Xing’s strength was exceptionally strong, with Nascent Soul Stage Great Perfection and Divine Strength Realm… it’s impossible for even a genius cultivator to achieve this at just over twenty years old.
So Damned Zong must have thought he had reincarnated into his own body, right?
“What exactly does this old dog want?”
Su Xing was somewhat curious as he looked back at the simulation panel.
