Others Level Up, but I Pursue Cultivation!

During that time, Su Xing even took a day off and asked Jin Congxue to go see a movie.

After all, now that Su Xing’s Tarot Society was on the right track, apart from selling a few types of elixirs.

The trade of equipment and instance dungeon items had gradually gained momentum, bringing more and more simulated energy to Su Xing.

Adding in the imminent acquisition of the mining zone instance dungeon, once the alien metal could be collected in bulk, Su Xing’s source of simulated energy would greatly increase.

Comparatively, the earnings from Su Xing’s weekly elixir refining had become less significant.

“Once I pay off the outstanding debt from acquiring Lingyun Commerce Guild, I won’t need to refine the Nourishing Face Pill anymore… Even if I still need to refine elixirs later, I can focus on those with higher returns.”

Su Xing thought so.

In these past few months, Su Xing had been refining only the Nourishing Face Pill and the Wound Healing Pill, to the point where he was nauseated.

After putting away the elixirs he refined that week, Su Xing set off to the villa to meet with Jin Congxue.

Today, Jin Congxue wore a sexy long dress, which made Su Xing secretly praise her.

After dinner, the two began to discuss business.

Handing over a storage ring, Jin Congxue blinked and said:

“Big boss, I have good news for you. What do you think it is? There’s a reward if you guess it right!”

Su Xing cautiously asked: “What’s the reward first?”

Jin Congxue giggled and said: “If you guess right, I’ll reluctantly accompany you to another movie next week, how about that?”

Su Xing grinned upon hearing that, knowing that Jin Congxue wanted to watch a movie.

But Su Xing wasn’t that busy recently, so he had time to watch a movie.

So he replied:

“Let me guess, is it about the mining zone instance dungeon being finalized?”

Upon hearing this, Jin Congxue’s eyes widened in surprise, her red lips slightly parted, looking adorable.

“That’s amazing! Are you really good at fortune-telling?”

Su Xing smiled slightly after hearing this. With the simulator as a cheat, he indeed had the ability to tell fortunes.

Jin Congxue then said:

“That’s right! Surprisingly, it was the Baili Business Association that was competing with us for the mining zone instance dungeon…”

“But unexpectedly, they suddenly shifted their focus to collecting instance dungeon items and didn’t even attend the auction… Thus, we got the contract for the mining zone instance dungeon at a very low price!”

After a pause, Jin Congxue added:

“I originally thought that collecting instance dungeon items was a personal hobby of the eldest son of the Baili family, but I didn’t expect it to become a strategic goal for the entire Baili Business Association…”

“Sigh, it seems like the old man of the Baili family doesn’t have much time left. If the Baili Business Association falls into Baili Qi’s hands, who knows how long it will flourish…”

After hearing this, Su Xing showed a strange expression on his face.

He didn’t expect that his actions at the Baili Residence would bring such an unexpected surprise.

This collection of instance dungeon items must be the order of the old man Baili Tu of the Baili family.

And such a high-profile change in strategic goal, there was likely only one purpose: to make another deal with Su Xing!

“Tsk tsk, the allure of the Life Extension Pill is truly significant… But this simplifies things, later on, if I lack simulated energy again, I can make a deal with the Baili Business Association…”

Su Xing thought to himself.

An ordinary person could take two Life Extension Pills, gaining a total of ten years of life!

This was extremely tempting to the old man of the Baili family.

Even if the effect of the Life Extension Pill wore off, Su Xing still had over a dozen kinds of lifespan extension elixirs.

Taking out just two would be worth billions of simulated energy!

“Damn, it feels good to strike it rich! If I had known this, I wouldn’t have started a commerce guild!”

Su Xing secretly complained, but he knew deep down.

The commerce guild was the only way to ensure a continuous flow of simulated energy.

And using the Life Extension Pill to trade for instance dungeon items, while fast in gaining energy, required Su Xing to be extremely cautious. Any mistake could lead to endless trouble.

Su Xing and Jin Congxue chatted for a bit longer, then he returned to school, exchanging the week’s goods for energy.

A total of sixteen million energy points, Su Xing nodded in satisfaction, murmuring:

“Not bad, the Tarot Commerce Association is providing more and more energy!”

On the afternoon of July 1, 2024, New Era, Su Xing started a new round of simulation on time.

“Begin simulation!”

[Ding! This simulation consumed 4300 points of energy. Remaining energy: 495.13 million points. Remaining simulation attempts: unlimited.]

[Simulation starts!]

[Drawing a green talent costs 1000 points of energy, a blue talent costs 10,000 points of energy, drawing a purple talent costs 100,000 points of energy. Would you like to draw?]

Su Xing decisively said: “Draw purple quality talent!”

[Congratulations, you have obtained a purple talent: Artifact Refining Genius!]

[Artifact Refining Genius]: You have exceptional comprehension in the path of artifact refining, and the magical treasures you forge are of higher quality. You have the potential to become a grandmaster in artifact refining.

“Hmm? Artifact refining?”

Su Xing thought about the newly drawn talent.

Elixirs, magical treasures, Dao of Arrays, talismans…

These four were the most profitable channels for cultivators.

An ordinary cultivator mastering just one could ensure a lifetime of prosperity and a foothold in the cultivation world.

Su Xing was currently only proficient in the path of alchemy, and he had already made a fortune.

“Goodness… This is a talent that can make money!”

Su Xing sighed and then shook his head, saying:

“Unfortunately, I currently have no knowledge in artifact refining nor any artifact refining manuals…”

“Although artifact refining yields great returns, it is not something that can be learned overnight… I’ll set this talent aside in the talent pool for now, and draw it out when I need it…”

Compared to learning the path of artifact refining, Su Xing planned to quickly improve his Qi Refining cultivation first.

Su Xing slightly shook his head and looked at the simulation panel.

[In the Spirit Field Blessed Land, you realized you were simulating…]

[You returned to your dormitory and met Fatty Yu, who had already advanced to a grandmaster-level profession user.]

[He called some friends for a gathering and invited you to join. You agreed to go.]

[Watching your classmates at the last college gathering, you felt a bit silent. These classmates were all elites among profession users.]

[Some were full of boundless hopes for the future, while others were reluctant to leave their college days behind.]

[You silently listened to a few classmates bragging and joking at the gathering, reminiscing about the past four years and thinking about the apocalyptic catastrophe two decades later, feeling deeply moved…]

[Your mind state improved…]
