Others Level Up, but I Pursue Cultivation! - Chapter 298

Chapter 298: Chapter 182: Alien Metal Mineral Worth 3 Billion Energy! (5k)_3

Thinking this way, Su Xing glanced at the sky, then began to disguise himself and suppress his aura.

As the sky darkened, Su Xing left Kyoto Academy and headed outside Kyoto City.

After ensuring no one was following him, Su Xing used the Heavenly Secrets Shielding Technique, then took off on his sword towards the city of Mayi in the Northwestern Province.

Soon, Su Xing arrived near the area he remembered as the Red Lotus Dungeon instance.

As he approached, he indeed found a fully armed army of Profession Users patrolling outside the Red Lotus Dungeon instance.

As a forbidden-level instance, the Red Lotus Dungeon naturally needed to be strictly controlled.

These Profession Users were there not only to prevent monsters in the instance from escaping but also to stop people from accidentally entering.

However, the strength of these Profession Users was around the Master and Grandmaster Level, and they didn’t dare get too close to the entrance of the instance.

Su Xing just used the Eight Trigrams Fortune-Telling Technique to block their perception of him and smoothly sneaked into the Red Lotus Dungeon instance.

To the current Su Xing, these Grandmaster Level Profession Users were no different from ordinary people.

Stepping into the Red Lotus Dungeon instance, Su Xing soon found himself in an unfamiliar environment.

Clearly, this was no longer Blue Star.

“Hmm… the surrounding temperature has increased significantly, the ambient temperature is probably around fifty or sixty degrees…”

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

Even though Su Xing’s current strength was comparable to that of a legendary strongman, he still cautiously warded himself with Protective Gang Qi and activated his Origin Force Armor.

After a brief exploration, Su Xing discovered a nearly vertical, bottomless cave that could only accommodate one person at a time.

“This should be the passage to the core area of the instance…”

Without hesitation, Su Xing flew directly into the cave.

Because the cave was so narrow, he couldn’t utilize his maximum speed.

It took Su Xing several hours to reach the several thousand miles deep region of the Flame Demons.

At this point, the surrounding temperature had soared to three to four thousand degrees Celsius, making it impossible for anyone below the Heavenly King Level to survive.

With his Divine Sense, Su Xing soon detected the Flame Demon he had encountered in the simulation.

He wasted no time.

Origin Force wrapped around his arm, and he threw a punch!

In an instant, the Flame Demon’s life force rapidly diminished.

The peak Martial Emperor level Flame Demon couldn’t withstand even one move from Su Xing!

“This is the benefit of steady development!”

“No matter what level of enemy you are… once I’ve grown enough, I will bring you all down!”

Su Xing’s lips curved slightly upward as he continued to explore the Flame Demon’s lair.

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

“Below here should be the area where the alien metal minerals are located…”

Su Xing delved deeper into the cave and soon saw a magma pool.

By now, the temperature here had reached over five thousand degrees Celsius.

Fortunately, Su Xing had Protective Gang Qi to shield himself, so his body was unaffected.

Su Xing’s gaze swept past the magma pool, looking towards the mineral area.

Sure enough, amidst the uneven rocks, there were many special red metals mixed in.

“As expected, alien metal minerals!”

“Well then, time to get to work!”

Su Xing took a deep breath and drew out his Spirit Sword, Mo Bing.

With the nourishing effect of Origin Force, Mo Bing Sword had become sharper and more resilient.

With a thought, Su Xing wrapped his Origin Force around Mo Bing Sword.

Then he began to cut through the alien metal-infused rock layers.

Under the effect of Origin Force, the uneven rocks were sliced smoothly as if they were tofu.

Su Xing meticulously cut each piece of mineral into one cubic meter blocks.

Then, for an entire night, Su Xing kept mining.

Until the next noon, when Su Xing had excavated the last piece of alien metal mineral.

Only then did Su Xing prepare to leave with a sense of satisfaction.

“A thousand cubic meters of alien metal-infused minerals obtained… these minerals are worth at least 15 billion energy points!”

“As for whether to purify or directly absorb them, I’ll think about it later… this place is not safe to stay for long, better leave first!”

So, Su Xing spent a few more hours leaving the Red Lotus Dungeon instance.

Using Sword Flight, he didn’t return to his dorm until dusk.

Decisively entering the Spirit Field Blessed Land, Su Xing breathed a sigh of relief but couldn’t help his heart from racing.

“Goodness, this is worth a full 15 billion energy points of alien metal!”

Su Xing, looking at the heap of alien metal in front of him, began to ponder.

“If directly absorbed, it would only be worth 15 billion energy points…”

“But if purified, it could be worth 30 billion energy points!”

“However, I reckon purifying this alien metal will still take quite some time… just not sure exactly how long?”

Su Xing hesitated, then made a call to Jin Congxue.

“Hey, busy man, how come you have time to call me?” Jin Congxue’s voice came from the other end of the line.

Su Xing chuckled and said, “Ahem… I have something to ask you. Those alien metals need to be purified and refined, right?”

Jin Congxue confirmed:

“Isn’t that obvious? You’re the big boss who has contracted six mining instance areas! You don’t even know this?”

“Mining is not easy, but purification also takes time. The alien metals you get every week require four to seven days for purification, give or take…”

“Of course, the higher the grade of the alien metal, the more time it takes for purification.”

Hearing this, Su Xing looked interested and asked:

“Sister Xue, if it’s one thousand cubic meters containing third and fourth-rank alien metals with a purity of about 3.7%… how long would it take to purify?”

Jin Congxue, not expecting Su Xing to ask such detailed questions, thought for a moment and said:

“Based on your description… I estimate that this batch of minerals will take about a month to purify…”

Su Xing’s eyes lit up upon hearing that, a month to purify minerals worth 15 billion into 30 billion!

Wow, this is quite the profit!

“But, here’s the problem… if I purify them all, I won’t have any simulated energy to use next…”

After some thought, Su Xing decided to first absorb one-third of the alien metals, equivalent to 5 billion simulated energy.

The rest would be handed over to Jin Congxue for purification.

“The remaining six hundred plus cubic meters should take about three weeks to purify… by then, 10 billion energy points will directly become 20 billion!”
