Others Level Up, but I Pursue Cultivation!

Chapter 194: Chapter 148: Breaking Into the Manor of Baili Alone, the Number One Legend! (5k)

Su Xing’s heart turned cold when he heard these words.

Indeed, to become the power behind a top merchant association, you had to be no ordinary character.

Despite looking as if he was at the end of his tether, Baili Tu still had a few tricks up his sleeve, capable of detecting Su Xing’s arrival.

Su Xing did not act rashly and merely watched Baili Tu quietly.

Confronted by a strange, powerful intruder in his bedroom, Baili Tu didn’t panic.

He struggled to sit up from the bed and looked at Su Xing, saying,

“What brings you here, sir?”

“If it’s money you want, my Baili family has considerable wealth. I am willing to offer you a sum, which I believe will satisfy you!”

“But if it’s for this old man’s life… putting aside that I don’t have long to live and you needn’t bother to take action… Moreover, my Baili family has its experts, and since you’ve entered my bedroom, they must already be aware of it…”

He paused, his tone bearing a hint of threat, and continued.

“If you leave now, there’s still time… Otherwise, even if you kill me, it won’t be a profitable exchange for you…”

Su Xing remained silent upon hearing this, but internally he marveled at Baili Tu’s courage and insight.

After a moment’s silence, Su Xing said,

“I am here for a trade…”

Upon hearing this, the deep furrow in Baili Tu’s brow relaxed slightly as he inquired,

“What trade are you referring to, sir?”

Su Xing did not speak but flicked his finger, and a green elixir landed in Baili Tu’s hand.

The moment the Life Extension Pill touched Baili Tu’s palm, his complexion changed subtly, and an excited flush of color appeared on his originally pale face.

Although Baili Tu did not recognize the Life Extension Pill, the sheer vitality exuding from the elixir allowed him to surmise that it was meant to extend one’s lifespan!

And as Baili Tu himself had only a few days left to live, this Life Extension Pill was a priceless treasure to him; how could he not be exhilarated?

“Is… is this an elixir for extending life!?”

No longer composed, Baili Tu’s voice was laden with considerable excitement.

Su Xing nodded slightly, and said succinctly,

“This is a Life-Extension Pill, it can extend your life by five years!”

“What, five years of life!?” Baili Tu’s eyes flashed with unprecedented desire.

As the head of the Baili family, Baili Tu’s resources and connections were substantial, and over the years he had used various lifespan-extending items.

From those that extended life by several months to several years.

However, the more often such items were used, the stronger the resistance to them became.

Baili Tu, a Heavenly King Level fighter, had lived for over five hundred and fifty years, having tried almost all lifespan-extending items available.

But still unable to break through to the Martial Emperor Level, he had hence given up and was waiting for death.

Now, a Life Extension Pill that could prolong life by five years was an astounding surprise, and if he could achieve a breakthrough to the Martial Emperor Level within those five years, he would have several hundred more years to live.

With this thought, Baili Tu promptly swallowed the Life Extension Pill.

Su Xing was taken aback for a moment; what was with Baili Tu recklessly eating things?

Thus, Su Xing asked in confusion,

“Aren’t you afraid that this could be poison, swallowing it just like that?”

After hearing this, Baili Tu laughed, his wrinkled face quivering as he said,

“Heh, in my current state, what’s the point of taking poison?”

“Besides, if you wanted to harm me, why would you need to offer an elixir? It would be superfluous.”

Su Xing nodded slightly, acknowledging internally that the old man indeed had some guts.

He then asked, “Aren’t you afraid that you won’t be able to pay the price I ask for having consumed the Life Extension Pill prematurely?”

Baili Tu laughed heartily at this,

“Sir, I dare not boast about other things… But the Baili family is quite wealthy, and the Baili Business Association is among the top five in the entire Great Xia Country…”

“Whatever you require whether it’s precious equipment, endless wealth, power, beautiful women… I can fulfill it!”

Upon hearing this, Su Xing shook his head slightly, saying,

“No, I don’t want any of these. I want the Instance Dungeon Items that your son, Baili Qi, has been collecting over the years!”

As if he had not heard clearly, Baili Tu replied incredulously,

“What did you say, sir? You mean… you want those useless Instance Dungeon trashes?”

Su Xing nodded slightly, “Yes, I want those Instance Dungeon trashes!”

Upon confirmation, a strange look appeared on Baili Tu’s face, clearly, he did not expect Su Xing’s request to be so bizarre.

After all, there was a reason Instance Dungeon Items were dubbed “Instance Dungeon trash.”

While some unrealistic low-level adventurers harbored hopes of finding astounding treasures among such trash, such events were exceedingly rare, perhaps not even once in several centuries.

The odds were even lower than winning a five-hundred-million-dollar lottery jackpot.

Even Baili Tu had repeatedly rebuked Baili Qi for his peculiar hobby.

But what Baili Tu never expected was, one day, Baili Qi’s eccentric collecting habit would save his life.

While Baili Tu was still in astonishment, changes began to rapidly take place in his body.

The Life Extension Pill was taking effect!

Suddenly, the once frail and dwindling Baili Tu began to surge with strength, his wrinkled skin gradually became smooth, and in just a few minutes he appeared to have grown a decade younger, his spirit significantly improved as well.

Baili Tu quickly noticed the subtle changes in his body, his face radiating with joy.

He therefore hastily asked, “Sir, when shall we begin the trade?”

Hearing this, Su Xing spoke in a low voice, “The sooner the better!”

Baili Tu nodded in agreement, then offered as if seeking Su Xing’s consent, “Shall I notify my son to come over now?”
