In the following days, Zhang Bin focused on refining elixirs to pay off his debt to Gao Si. Three days later, he had produced several batches of Evergreen Pills, preparing 200 pills and 2,000 Spirit Stones. He even acquired the necessary five hundred kilograms of gold, which he had purchased for 165 million RMB.

The energy required for interstellar teleportation was immense. After all, even the energy blocks developed by the Xing Yue civilization were far inferior to the power contained within gold. This showed just how formidable gold's energy was. Moreover, this amount could only support a single teleportation. If the objects being sent were any heavier, five hundred kilograms wouldn't be nearly enough.

This time, Zhang Bin was only sending elixirs and 2,000 Spirit Stones, which weren't very heavy, yet it still required such a massive amount of gold.

This teleportation really costs a fortune. All the gold produced on Earth probably wouldn't be enough for my needs. In the future, I might have to search for gold mines on other planets, Zhang Bin mused as he headed to the villa's underground chamber.

This was his place for closed-door cultivation, a room not even Liu Ruomei was allowed to enter.

He shut the door tightly behind him.

He took the Teleportation Formation Plate from his Space Ring and placed it on the ground. After putting the gold into the energy chamber, he called Gao Si.

"Gao Si, my brother, how have you been lately?" Zhang Bin asked with a wicked smile.

"I'm down and out, just waiting for you to rescue me," Gao Si appeared on the screen with a distressed expression.

"Hehe... then get ready to strike it rich," Zhang Bin said with a strange laugh.

"Ah! Have you already refined the Evergreen Pills?" Gao Si jumped up excitedly, his face brimming with elation.

"Yes. I've prepared 2,000 Spirit Stones and 200 Evergreen Pills. I'll teleport them to you right away," Zhang Bin said. "Also, I want to make a trade. I need a set of armor, and it must be a Middle-Grade Magical Treasure. Just name your price, and if it's reasonable, I'll send the payment to you along with the other things."

As a cultivator, having only offensive Magical Treasures without any defensive ones was simply inconceivable. Besides, it wasn't just the Genetically Enhanced Humans who wanted him dead now. There was also the Hell Organization and possibly other groups or experts. For instance, the black-clothed, masked woman who had tried to assassinate him before was a huge menace. She was exceptionally talented, and her strength grew at a rate that might rival his own. She could have already reached the Golden Core Realm.

Zhang Bin had a premonition that the black-clothed, masked woman would try to kill him again. Without armor, he would be in grave danger.

"The price is the same as the Flying Sword: 80 Evergreen Pills. However, I don't need Evergreen Pills right now. I need a different kind of elixir—the Liquefaction Pills you refined last time, the ones that can help me break through to the Liquid State. How about two furnaces' worth?" Gao Si asked, his face full of anticipation.

"I don't have that many Liquefaction Pills right now; I can only give them to you next time," Zhang Bin said.

He had two Pill Recipes for the Liquefaction Pill, one from Earth and one from Xuanwu Star. However, he hadn't yet gathered all the herbs required for the Xuanwu Star recipe. As for the recipe from Earth, he was currently missing several of its main ingredients, like the Thousand-Year Fuling, which was incredibly rare and hard to find. Therefore, he couldn't refine any Liquefaction Pills at the moment. Although he still had four pills left, they were reserved for Liu Ruomei, Tian Bingbing, and Zhang Lele.

"Fine, I don't need the Liquefaction Pills right away anyway," Gao Si said excitedly. "Brother, with these Evergreen Pills, I'll soon be able to acquire a huge fortune. Buying a few Middle-Grade Magical Treasures will be no problem at all! Plus, I have some good news for you."

"What good news?" Zhang Bin asked, taken aback.

"We on Xuanwu Star have finally found a green planet! It's not very large and doesn't have much vegetation, but many of our powerhouses can now continue their cultivation," Gao Si explained excitedly. "The cultivators who reached the Minor Tree Realm have been teleported to that planet. They occasionally send back Spirit Stones and the Magical Treasures they've forged. This makes our trading much easier, and I can sell the elixirs without arousing suspicion."

"How far is that planet from Xuanwu Star?" Zhang Bin asked curiously.

"Just ten thousand light-years. We launched rockets that reached that planet ten thousand years ago, and they carried a Teleportation Array. So, cultivators who reached the Minor Tree and Great Tree Realms have teleported there. They brought back tremendous news!" Gao Si said, dancing with joy.

"That's wonderful." Zhang Bin was also pleased. He knew that the Xuanwu Star People were peaceful. If their cultivators grew stronger, they could become the main force against the Black Prison Star People in the future. Otherwise, the Xuanwu Star People wouldn't stand a chance, which would be a huge problem. In a worst-case scenario, if Earth were in grave danger, they could even ask Xuanwu Star for help. Once he reached the Minor Tree Realm, he too could teleport to Xuanwu Star and then on to that newly discovered planet. There, he could interact with many peers at the same level, which would give him a better chance of cultivating to the Great Tree and Divine Tree Realms.

Soon, he sent the two thousand Spirit Stones and two hundred Evergreen Pills over, making Gao Si so happy he danced with joy.

Having settled his account with Gao Si, Zhang Bin felt much more at ease. He began to pay close attention to the dynamics of various countries, monitoring how they would handle the man-made disaster of the Genetically Enhanced Humans.

First, America released a statement claiming a terrorist organization had attacked their Biotech Base, attempting to cause a catastrophe and steal their research. They reported the deaths of several hundred American soldiers but asserted that all the terrorists had been annihilated inside the base.

This was, of course, a colossal lie, though it was close to the truth. Zhang Bin's group had indeed killed sixteen SSS-level Genetically Enhanced Humans—though ten of those were eliminated by Mechanical Warriors, the credit fell to them. Zhang Bin had also used a mechanism to kill five hundred SS-level Genetically Enhanced Humans. Additionally, during their assault on the Biotech Base, Zhao Dawei's team had killed over two hundred Genetically Enhanced Humans at the hotel. In total, it was over seven hundred.

The Americans' claim of having killed all the terrorists even had some basis in reality, as they had yet to find any evidence of survivors escaping the base. No intruders were found in the areas they controlled. As for the Special Action Team members left at the hotel, they had received an order from Zhang Bin under the name of the Rabbit King and had quickly fled before the main American forces arrived. They weren't discovered by anyone, thanks to their Invisibility Talismans.

Ironically, a terrorist organization even stepped forward to claim responsibility for the attack. Of course, the Americans didn't believe them. They knew perfectly well which country's experts had attacked their Biotech Base, and they were secretly plotting their revenge.
