While Others Are Practicing Leveling, I Am Cultivating Immortality

Chapter 183: Different metal ore worth three billion energy! (5k)

  【In the core area, a large amount of rich spiritual energy rushed towards the face, and countless items in the spiritual field were elixirs. 】

　　【But these elixirs cannot be refined with your current level of alchemy. 】

　　　【So you directly cross those spiritual fields and take out all the spiritual stones in the spirit gathering array. 】

　　　【You did not disturb the real person Wan Mu in the bronze sarcophagus. Before leaving, you reluctantly glanced at the spiritual dragon. 】

　　【After leaving the ruins tomb, you took out Zong Laogou's diary and found the location of Five Elements Mountain. 】

　　　【Before the Five Elements Mountain Ruins Formation, your eyebrows hurt slightly. 】

  【This means that if you step into the ruins of Five Elements Mountain, your life will be in danger. 】

　　【For the sake of caution, you have decided to put aside the exploration of the Five Elements Mountain ruins for the time being, and instead continue to collect more spring dew and purified water. 】

  In the twentieth year, you return to the real world and continue to collect spring dew and purified water. 】

　　【This year, the amount of your spring dew and pure water has reached one hundred and ninety. 】

From now on, you will collect spring dew and purified water every year on the day of awakening of insects, and practice assiduously. 】

 Four years have passed in the blink of an eye. 】

　　　【In the twenty-fourth year, after the Waking of Insects, you already have two hundred and thirty drops of spring dew and pure water. 】

　　　【Although you have strengthened your practice of the Fire Technique, you find that you are still a long way from achieving the perfection of the Fire Technique. 】

  【The biggest problem is that your current spiritual power is not enough to allow the Lihuo Technique to explode to extreme high temperatures. 】

　　【Perhaps after the return to void period, the cultivation level will increase sharply, and then the Lihuo Technique can be better activated. 】

　　　【In the twenty-fifth year, hundreds of legendary monsters broke through the Demon Suppression Pass, and a large number of powerful human beings died in the battle. 】

　　【A small number of strong human beings escaped back to the real world, preparing for the final resistance. 】

　　【And you, after collecting this year's spring dew and pure water, are ready to explore the Immortal Martial Age dungeon again. 】

　　【You came to Five Elements Mountain, broke the ruins formation, and walked into the ruins tomb. 】

　　【According to the information you have received, the person sleeping in this ancient tomb should be a powerful monk from the Five Elements Sect, a powerful immortal cultivating sect thousands of years ago. 】

 When Su Xing saw this, he felt a little hopeful.

“Within the ruins of Wanmu Sect, the person sleeping is Zhenren Wanmu…”

“Is there a great power in the integration stage sleeping among the ruins of the Five Elements Sect?”

Thinking of this, Su Xing felt a little nervous and a little hopeful.

 After all, there are a lot of good things in the ruins of the Wanmu Sect, such as elixirs, spiritual stones... and even a formed spiritual dragon!

And if there are these in the ruins of the Five Elements Sect, then Su Xing will make a lot of money!

“Tsk, tsk, when I’m ready to reunite, I’ll have to lift all the coffin boards of you old antiques!”

 Su Xing had a good impression of these powerful monks at first, but after knowing what Wan Mu Zhenren had done, Su Xing suddenly lost all good impressions.

Thinking of this, Su Xing looked at the analog panel.

　　【The Five Elements Sect's formation is stronger than you thought, but you still smashed its formation into pieces and entered the ruins of the ancient tomb. 】

　　【After passing through the long and narrow tomb passage, the road ahead gradually becomes wider. You suddenly become alert, activating the Yuanli armor and the body-protecting aura. 】

　　【You have walked a few miles further, and suddenly a black shadow flashes before your eyes. 】

　　【An astonishing force hit your body-protecting Qi, and the body-protecting Qi was instantly shattered into pieces. 】

Even with the buffer of the body-protecting Gangqi, you were still punched down on the stone wall of the ancient tomb, and your entire chest was in pain. 】

　　【You were instantly shocked, and at the same time you saw clearly the appearance of the person in front of you. 】

　　【This is a living dead! 】

　　【It's just that this living dead is far more powerful than the living dead puppet in Wanmu Ruins. 】

　　【This living dead figure was at least a strong man in the late stage of PoXu Realm and even close to PoXu Dzogchen Perfection before he was alive! 】

　　【You carefully look at the living dead Ku Lei and find that his beard and hair are all white, and even his eyebrows are white, much like the white-browed Taoist Priest in a certain movie. 】

　　But he was in extremely miserable condition at this time, his pale hair was in a mess, his face was pale, and he was filled with endless resentment! 】

　　　【Seeing the living dead attacking you again, without even thinking about it, you immediately raised your protective energy and ran towards the core area of ​​the ruins. 】

　　【Fortunately, your escape speed has improved a lot, and this living dead man seems to have a disability in his legs, but he couldn't catch up with you immediately. 】

　　【And you run at full speed, trying to escape forward, and in a few breaths you arrive at the core area of ​​the ancient tomb of the Five Elements Mountain ruins. 】

 【Strangely, there seems to be no formation in the core area of ​​this ruined tomb...】

　　【No, it seems that there once was a formation, but it was violently destroyed! 】

　　【While you were running for your life, you were still confused in your heart. Could it be that Old Dog Zong had been here before? 】

　　【But you quickly denied it, because Zong Laogou's diary described in detail that he did not dare to set foot in the ruins of the Five Elements Sect. 】

　　【Soon, as you step into the core area, you notice a huge bronze sarcophagus. 】

　　【The appearance is similar to that of the Wanmu Ruins, but the difference is that this bronze sarcophagus is not painted with a large forest, but with the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth...】

"What makes you even more confused is that the bronze sarcophagus has been opened, and the monk who was supposed to be sleeping in the sarcophagus has disappeared. 】

　　【A thought suddenly arises in your mind. The living dead chasing you is the monk who was supposed to be sleeping in the sarcophagus! 】

　　【It’s just that for some unknown reason, the monk who was supposed to be sleeping revived early and turned into the living dead. 】

　　【But at this time, the living dead are still chasing after you, and you don't have to think carefully about the reasons. 】

  【You start looking for useful treasures in this ruins. 】

　　【Your consciousness quickly scanned every corner of the core area, but you did not find a large field of medicine, nor did you find any other living dead puppets. 】

I saw only a few jade-like skeletons. 】

　　【What makes you a little disappointed is that there is no trace of the Spirit Vein Dragon in this ruins. 】

　　【But you found a lot of spiritual stones in a corner. 】

　　【At this moment, the living dead behind him have been chasing me again. 】

　　【You gritted your teeth and once again raised your body-protecting energy, and ran straight towards the spirit stone. 】

　　【You quickly put the spirit stone into the storage weapon, and at this moment, the living dead behind you have attacked again. 】

　　【This time his offensive is even more fierce! 】

　　【Fortunately, with the resistance of the body-protecting Gangqi, you did not die directly, but you were seriously injured and looked extremely miserable. 】

　　【With a thought in your mind, you prepare to flee to the Lingtian Cave to temporarily avoid the attack of the living dead puppets. 】

【However, there seems to be a space formation in this ruins ancient tomb, which slows down your entry into the Lingtian Cave for a second. 】

　　【And this second is fatal! 】

　　　【Your body is in disrepair under the repeated attacks of the living dead. 】

　　【You were forced out of your body, hoping to escape. 】

　　　【But the living dead don't give you the slightest chance and directly annihilate your soul. 】

【you are dead! 】

  【Ding, this simulation is over! 】

 After the simulation ended, Su Xing frowned and seemed to be thinking.

“Why are the ruins of the Five Elements Sect and the ruins of the Ten Thousand Trees Sect different... Why is there no Spirit Vein Dragon among them?”

“And why...the real person from the Wanmu Sect is still sleeping, but the Great Perfection monk from the Five Elements Sect woke up early?”

 Su Xing seemed to have captured several key pieces of information in his mind, but he couldn't connect them for a while.

“Wait a minute…Master Wan Mu, cut off the world’s spiritual veins, gather spiritual dragons, and cultivate himself…”

“Is it possible? People from other sects don’t even know about this!”

"It is precisely because the spiritual veins were cut off that the spiritual energy quickly dried up in hundreds of years..."

“As for the Five Elements Sect monks turning into living dead... I’m afraid it has something to do with Zhenren Wanmu!”

 Shu seems to have captured the key information.

“In this way, the soaring resentment on the living dead... can also be explained..."

“Perhaps someone discovered the plan of Master Wanmu, and that’s why a melee broke out in the ruins of Wanmu Sect, and why there are puppets of the living dead in the ruins of Wanmu Sect?”

Su Xing was thoughtful, and felt that if he followed this line of thinking, he should be pretty close.

“Just, how about giving it a try... You still need to go to the Xianwu Era dungeon to check the historical books and search..."

Su Xing sighed. Thousands of years have passed, and those ancient historical books should be hard to find.

It's just that there may be some traces in the three major sects of the current Xianwu Era copy.

 Su Xing plans to have time to explore later. Perhaps this information will be helpful to Su Xing in exploring the ruins and ancient tombs.

 “However, in short, the purpose of this simulation was achieved!”

“Spring dew, purified water, spiritual stones... With these, I believe my practice during the return period will be smoother!”

Thinking of this, Su Xing looked at the rewards of this simulation.

 【I am not the Rain God】: Purple talent, priced at 1 million energy points.

 【Twenty years of alchemy experience】: Alchemy insights, including the Rebirth Pill (mid-grade perfection, top-grade entry). The price is 7 million energy. [220,000 low-grade spiritual stones, 5,000 medium-grade spiritual stones, and 300 high-grade spiritual stones]: Priced at 300 million energy.

　　【Two hundred and forty drops of spring dew and purified water】: The first ray of rootless water that falls on the Sun of Waking of Insects contains mysterious power and can be used to refine the Void Refining Pill. There are 240 drops in total, priced at 24 million energy.

 【Zong Laogou's Diary】: The price is 10,000 points of energy.

 【1000 cubic meters of ore containing third- and fourth-order heterometals】: worth 15 billion energy. Because it contains a large amount of impurities, the value is halved.

Su Xing looked at this simulation reward without much hesitation.

 After all, his purpose for this simulation was to obtain spring dew, purified water and spiritual stone resources to prepare for the subsequent breakthrough in the return to void period.

 The problem is, the simulated energy for awakening is not enough!

His current simulated energy is only 147.56 million points at full capacity, and bringing out spiritual stones and spring dew and purified water requires 324 million energy points.

 Su Xing looked at the last reward option with a bit of surprise on his face.

“The total value of the third- and fourth-order exotic metals contained in the Red Lotus Demon Cave is 15 billion energy?”

“Wait a minute... after the simulator charges ten times the price difference... it should be 1.5 billion simulated energy!”

 Seeing such a huge amount of energy, Su Xing's heart almost jumped out of his chest.

 1.5 billion energy is enough for him to cultivate to the realm of breaking the void and the realm of returning to the void!

 “But...why is the value halved?”

Su Xing said with some doubts.

And the simulator also gave a rare answer for Su Xing.

【Ding, since the proportion of different metals contained in this ore is 3.7%, it is a secondary energy substance... If it is purified, it can be worth 3 billion energy. 】

 As soon as I woke up, I understood what the simulator meant.

“Co-author, if I absorb it directly, it’s worth 1.5 billion energy… and after purification, I can absorb energy worth 3 billion?”

 Su Xing is a little excited. Whether it is 1.5 billion or 3 billion, it is a huge sum of money for Su Xing!

“In this case, it’s time to go to the Red Lotus Demon Cave dungeon first!”

Su Xing murmured.

  He previously used the immersive simulation function to completely simulate the scene of going to the Red Lotus Demon Cave.

Now if you go there again in the real world, you will definitely be foolproof!

Thinking this way, Su Xing glanced at the sky and began to change his appearance and hold his breath.

 When it got a little dark, Su Xing left Kyoto Academy and ran outside Kyoto.

After confirming that no one was paying attention to him, Su Xing used the secret shielding technique, then flew with his sword and rushed to Mai City in the northwest province.

Soon, Su Xing arrived near the copy of the Red Lotus Demon Cave in his memory.

After waking up and getting closer, he found a heavily armed army of professionals wandering outside the Red Lotus Demon Cave instance.

As a forbidden-level dungeon, Red Lotus Demon Cave will naturally be strictly controlled.

These professional armies are not only to prevent monsters in the dungeon from escaping, but also to prevent people from entering by mistake.

However, the strength of these professional soldiers is only around the master and grandmaster level, and they do not dare to get too close to the entrance of the dungeon.

And Su Xing just used a little bit of Bagua arithmetic to block these people's perception of him, and then he successfully blended into the Red Lotus Demon Cave copy.

 For today's awakening, these master-level professionals are no different from ordinary people.

Stepping into the red lotus cave dungeon, Su Xing quickly entered a strange environment.

 Obviously, this is no longer Blue Star.

"Well...the surrounding temperature has risen a lot, and the body temperature is about fifty or sixty degrees..."

Su Xing nodded slightly, but to him, this temperature was no different from normal temperature.

Even though Su Xing’s strength is now comparable to that of a legendary strongman, for the sake of caution, Su Xing still propped up the protective aura and activated the Yuanli armor.

After a little exploration, Su Xing discovered a cave that was almost straight downward and bottomless, and could only be traveled by one person.

“This should be the passage leading to the core area of ​​the dungeon…”

 Su Xing did not hesitate and flew directly into the cave.

 Because of the narrow terrain of the cave, it cannot reach its maximum speed.

 So it took several hours for him to wake up and reach the Balrog area thousands of miles deep.

At this time, the surrounding temperature has soared to 3,000 to 4,000 degrees Celsius, and those who are not king-level or above cannot survive.

Under the induction of his spiritual consciousness, Su Xing quickly discovered the Balrog he encountered in the simulation.

 There is no sloppiness at all.

 Yuanli wrapped around his arm, and then punched out!

 In just a moment, the Balrog's life breath quickly diminished.

The Flame Demon at the peak of the Martial Emperor's peak couldn't survive even one move in Su Xing's hands!

 “This is the benefit of steady development!”

"It doesn't matter what level your enemies are...when I grow up enough, I will kill you all!"

 Su Xing raised the corners of his mouth slightly and continued to explore the Balrog's lair.

Soon, Su Xing discovered a deeper cave, leading to the magma layer.

“Down here, it should be where the foreign metal mining area is…”

 Wake up and explore the depths of the cave again, and soon see a magma pool.

At this time, the temperature here has reached over 5,000 degrees Celsius.

 Fortunately, Su Xing has a body-protecting Qi that isolates the inside and outside, so the body is not affected.

Such a sober gaze crossed the magma pool and looked at the ore area on the side.

Sure enough, there were a lot of reddish special metals mixed in the uneven rocks.

“Sure enough, a different metal ore!”

 “Then… let’s start working!”

Su Xing took a deep breath and took out his spiritual sword Mo Bing.

Mo Bingjian became sharper and tougher under the warmth of Yuanli.

 Su Xing's heart moved, and he wrapped his Yuan Power around Mo Bingjian.

　　Then he slashed at the rock layer mixed with foreign metals.

 Under the action of Yuanli, these uneven rocks are cut like tofu and become smooth and flat.

 Su Xing cut each piece of ore into one cubic meter with some obsessive-compulsive disorder.

 Following that, Su Xing continued to mine throughout the night.

 Until noon of the next day, the last of the exotic metal ores had been dug up by Su Xing.

 Only when I woke up was I satisfied and ready to leave.

“I have obtained one thousand cubic meters of ore containing different metals... These ores are worth at least 1.5 billion energy!”

"As for purification or direct absorption, we will consider it later... It is not suitable to stay here for a long time, let's leave first!"

Hence, Su Xing spent several more hours leaving the Red Lotus Demon Cave instance.

  Yu Jianfei did not return to the dormitory until evening.

Determined to enter the blessed land of Lingtian, Su Xing breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help but his heart was beating fast.

 “Hey, dear, this is a foreign metal worth 1.5 billion energy!”

Su Xing looked at the mountains of foreign metals in front of him and began to think.

“If it is absorbed directly, it is only worth 1.5 billion energy…”

“But if it is purified, it would be worth 3 billion energy!”

“However, the purification of this foreign metal must still be very time-consuming... I just don’t know how much time it will take?”

Su Xing hesitated, and then called Jin Congxue.

“Hey, you’re so busy, why do you have time to call me?” Jin Congxue’s voice came from the other end of the phone.

Su Xing smiled and said: "Ahem... I have something to ask you. Those foreign metals need to be purified and refined, right?"

Jin Congxue’s affirmative reply came from the other end of the phone:

“Aren’t you talking nonsense? You are also the big boss who has contracted six mining area dungeons! You don’t know this?”

“Mining is not easy, but purification also takes time. The foreign metals you obtain every week need to be purified four to seven days in advance..."

“Of course, the higher the level of the foreign metal, the more time it will take to purify and refine it.”

 Su Xing had a serious look on his face when he heard this, so he asked:

“Sister Xue, if it is a thousand cubic meters of ore containing third- and fourth-order exotic metals with a purity of about 3.7%...how long will it take to purify and refine it?”

Jin Congxue didn't expect Su Xing to ask such a detailed question in a serious manner.

 After thinking for a moment, he said:

"According to your description...I estimate that it will take about a month to purify this batch of ore..."

After hearing this, Su Xing's eyes lit up. In one month, he could purify foreign metals worth 1.5 billion, which would be 3 billion!

 Hiss~ This is quite a lot of money!

“However, there is also a problem...if everything is purified, then I will have no simulation energy to use..."

 After some hesitation, Su Xing decided to absorb one third of the foreign metal, which is 500 million simulated energy.

 The rest is given to Jin Congxue for purification.

“There are more than 600 cubic meters left, which should be purified in three weeks... By then, 1 billion energy will be converted into 2 billion!”
