Others Level Up, but I Pursue Cultivation!

[Fubo was overjoyed to see you, and he explained their experiences entering the instance dungeon.]

[The promotion instance dungeon could only be attempted alone by professionals; Fubo accompanied the Baili family head there, merely to skirmish.]

[Before coming to this instance dungeon, they had investigated and found it was not very difficult.]

[But unexpectedly, Baili Tu had been missing in the ice and snow for a whole two days; Fubo, left with no choice, could only enter deeper into the dungeon to search, but to no avail.]

[Fubo didn't look in great condition, primarily because of the sadness in his heart and excessive worry.]

[You pointed out the way out of the instance dungeon to Fubo and told him to leave the search for Baili Tu to you.]

[You put up your Protective Gang Qi to shield yourself from the severe cold and blizzard outside.]

[You searched the instance dungeon for several hours, your Divine Sense almost covering every inch, yet you still could not find Baili Tu.]

[What alarmed you was that the coldest area in this dungeon even reached temperatures beyond two hundred degrees... if it dropped a few tens of degrees more to reach absolute zero, perhaps even legendary strong beings would not survive...]

[After your search came up empty, a thought struck you; maybe Baili Tu was not within the snowfield, but beneath it?]

[You directed your Divine Sense down into the thick snow under your feet.]

[Another hour passed, and your Divine Sense indeed detected a familiar aura in an ice cave a thousand yards below the surface.]

[It was Baili Tu's aura... However, in addition to him, there appeared to be several other unfamiliar Heavenly King Level peaks, and even one that reached Martial Emperor Level...]

[You entered the ice cave and saw several ten-meter-tall, wildly berserk boss snow bears.]

[The snow bears seemed to be special bosses in this instance dungeon, tough-skinned and remarkably strong...]

[Inside the cave, you saw Baili Tu, who had been frozen into an ice sculpture and seemed to have lost consciousness.]

[The furious snow bears launched an attack on you...]

[In a few rounds, you killed all of the snow bears.]

[You activated Spiritual Energy to unfreeze the ice sculpture of Baili Tu, but he remained unconscious...]

[You surveyed the ice cave and were surprised to find a lot of translucent, icy metal inside the snow bears' lair.]

[Upon your assessment, it should also be a high-grade rare metal of Tier 3 or Tier 4.]

[You glanced at the unconscious Baili Tu next to you; he was only in a coma with no life-threatening dangers.]

[So you began to mine the rare metal with the sword in your hand.]

[In just a few hours, you had mined all the rare metals in the cave, approximately 500 cubic meters.]

[After mining, you picked up the still unconscious Baili Tu and left the instance dungeon...]

[That day, you delivered Baili Tu back to the Baili Estate.]

[Under the treatment of various medicines and instance dungeon items, Baili Tu finally began to wake up slowly.]

[The people of the Baili Estate were grateful to you, and Baili Qi handed you several storage rings containing instance dungeon items.]

[You did not refuse this time, inspecting them with Divine Sense and, upon finding no tampering, put them into the Spirit Field Cave.]

[After waking up, Baili Tu learned you had saved him and was extremely grateful.]

[You knew that in Baili Tu's gratitude, maybe three parts were sincere, with the rest more about wanting to foster good relations with you.]

[You didn't reject this overture because Baili Tu expressed his gratitude for saving his life, stating that from now on, the Baili Business Association would provide you with a batch of instance dungeon items every three months.]

[You didn't refuse, only stating that you would come to collect them when you had time.]

[You didn't leave any contact information and left the Baili Estate alone.]

Su Xing raised his eyebrows upon seeing this.

"Tsk tsk, the Baili Estate encountered quite the trouble... but for me, this is absolutely good news!"

"To rescue Baili Tu not only yielded a large batch of instance dungeon items but also discovered a rare metal mine?"

Su Xing had never imagined, after searching for so long without finding a rare metal mine.

He had easily obtained one without any effort this time.

Although it was only five hundred cubic meters, after refinement plus the instance dungeon items... it should barely amount to around two billion energy, right?

Thinking this, Su Xing's heart couldn't help but get excited.

"What's more crucial is, the Baili Business Association can now be fully utilized by me, becoming a tool for me to collect instance dungeon items and convert energy!"

Su Xing nodded slightly, quite satisfied in his heart.

He hadn't been utterly ruthless initially, in large part because the Baili Business Association might have significant use to him in the future.

After all, a golden goose is precious, but it can't beat one that lays golden eggs!

"However, the relationship between the Baili Business Association and me is merely a mutually beneficial business one... it can't be considered friendship, so I must maintain extreme caution!"

Su Xing murmured.

He was very clear that the Baili Business Association valued his extraordinary strength.

And what Su Xing valued were the resources and financial power of the Baili Business Association.

Mutual benefit and a win-win situation are not bad at all.

With that thought, Su Xing's gaze moved back to the simulation panel.

[After leaving the Baili Estate, you took a long detour, changing your appearance and aura several times before returning to Kyoto Academy.]

[You spent half a month setting up the Spirit Gathering Array, and the Spirit Field Cave was fully promoted to a mid-grade cave realm.]

[You found several dozen Dragon Spirit Grasses in the Spiritual Medicine left by the damned Zong, and you took out a few to refine Dragon Spirit Pills.]

[Dragon Spirit Pills are greatly beneficial to professionals at the Grandmaster Level; you gave several bottles to Jin Congxue, hoping to add a little more strength to her.]

[Afterward, you contacted Yu Yan, gave him a batch of Dragon Spirit Pills, and instructed him not to let outsiders know.]

[Having done all this, you met with Luo Shuying as agreed.]
