Chapter 184: Chapter 144: Myriad Demons Pilgrimage, the Embryo of Slaughter! (5k)_3

```"Come on, after alchemizing elixirs for one more week, when the rumors outside die down, I'll go to find Jin Congxue!"

Su Xing muttered to himself, and then began refining elixirs with dedication.

Time flew by like a fleeting horse, and in the blink of an eye, a week had passed.

Today was the day Su Xing and Jin Congxue had agreed to meet for their trade.

After taking a Concealment Pill, Su Xing adjusted his aura and then left the Spirit Field Blessed Land to return to the professional market.

With his Divine Sense spread out to confirm that no one had noticed him, he pretended to be an ordinary college student, purchasing some low-level equipment and props before heading back to school.

After returning to school, Su Xing casually strolled around and even enjoyed a bowl of braised pork in the cafeteria.

Once he was sure nothing was amiss, Su Xing sent a text message to Jin Congxue.

He then set out toward the familiar villa.

It wasn't that Su Xing was too cautious, but being careful was always a good thing.

After all, the Descending Sect was behind the Black Dragon Guild, and one could never be too cautious. S~eaʀᴄh the NôᴠelFirё.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

If he were really being followed, Su Xing's current strength meant he didn't have much to fear, but if he carelessly went to the villa and implicated Jin Congxue, he would definitely regret it.

Upon arriving in the familiar villa room, Jin Congxue had been waiting for a long time.

After half a month without seeing her, Jin Congxue was still enchantingly beautiful, draped in an ancient Hanfu that made her look stately yet radiant.

"Sister Xue, why are you dressed so formally today?"

Su Xing sat down comfortably and teased Jin Congxue.

Jin Congxue rolled her eyes and explained,

"Today is my Jin Merchant Guild's ancestral worship day. I just finished offering sacrifices this morning and haven't had time to change my clothes."

On hearing her words, Su Xing expressed some confusion,

"Isn't your family from Jinling City? Why come to Kyoto to pay respects to your ancestors?"

Jin Congxue, at a loss for words, said, "Who told you my family was from Jinling City? My ancestral home is in Kyoto. It was only my father's generation that moved the Jin Merchant Guild to Jinling and then settled down in the South..."

Su Xing nodded after hearing this, with a clearer understanding.

Jin Congxue joked, "Yo, big boss, where have you been bustling about these past two days?"

At that, Su Xing chuckled and replied, "How could I have any time? I've been busy alchemizing every day!"

After saying that, Su Xing handed over the twelve thousand elixirs he had refined over the past two weeks.

Jin Congxue naturally didn't buy Su Xing's story but didn't press for more details either, instead passing on her goods from the past two weeks to Su Xing.

"Here you go, these are the goods for the past two weeks. Lately, the Tarot Commerce Association has been growing bigger and bigger; I don't know what kind of luck you've stumbled upon..."

"At this rate, in less than two years, the Tarot Commerce Association is likely to grow into a top-tier commerce association!"

Su Xing took the storage ring and chuckled.

He knew in his heart that this was the effect of his Purple Talent for thriving in business.

Though Su Xing didn't manage the association, he was the actual big boss, and like a mascot, naturally ensured the smooth development of the Tarot Commerce Association.

Afterward, Jin Congxue took out two ancient-looking jade boxes and handed them over to Su Xing.

"These are the medicinal herbs you requested; millennium ginseng, Lingzhi, Polygonum multiflorum..."

"These herbs aren't easy to find! Only the ancient families with a legacy have some, and I put in quite an effort to get them."

"Moreover, these millennium herbs must be placed in boxes made of fine ancient jade to prevent the dissipation of their medicinal properties."

After hearing this, Su Xing nodded and took a glance inside the jade box.

Indeed, inside the box, a few millennium herbs were lying quietly, emitting a notable fragrance.

"Tsk, tsk, these millennium herbs must be almost on par with spiritual medicine even if they grew in ordinary soil, right?"

Su Xing estimated that these herbs should be enough for him to refine seven or eight Life Extension Pills.

Once he'd refined the Life Extension Pills, if Su Xing had the chance, he could take a trip to the Baili Merchant Guild.

Those "treasured items" of Baili Qi had long been objects of his envy.

Su Xing stored away the herbs and spent some tender time with Jin Congxue before reluctantly heading back to school.

Entering the Spirit Field Blessed Land, Su Xing first exchanged the goods he'd accumulated over two weeks for energy.

In total, the goods from these two weeks provided nearly thirty-two million units of energy!

Adding onto the energy left from his previous simulation, his simulation energy total reached over forty-six million.

Seeing that his simulation time had refreshed, Su Xing prepared to start a new round of simulations.

On June 17, 2024 of the new era, Su Xing timely began his forty-first simulation.

"Begin simulation!"

[Ding! This simulation consumes 4100 energy points, leaving a balance of 46.23 million energy points; remaining simulations are unlimited.]

[Simulation begins!]

[Drawing a green talent costs 1000 energy points, a blue talent costs 10,000 energy points, and drawing a purple talent costs 100,000 energy points; do you wish to proceed?]

"Draw a purple talent!"

Su Xing didn't hesitate and stated directly.

[Congratulations! You have acquired the purple talent: The Great Wisdom in Foolishness!]

[The Great Wisdom in Foolishness]: A purple talent, you may appear naive or even somewhat foolish on a regular basis, but in critical moments, you can draw out the wisdom you've accumulated and unleash an unprecedented level of intelligence and comprehension. This talent is an active talent that can be freely switched between "Foolish", "Intelligent", and "Average" modes.

Note: In a naive state, both IQ and comprehension will slightly decrease, which may affect the host's normal life.

Upon seeing the description of this talent, Su Xing furrowed his brows.

"This seems like another talent that affects comprehension? But why does this talent seem somewhat stupid?"

This was the first active talent Su Xing had encountered, and he felt there was more to it.

After reading over it a few times, a flash of insight crossed Su Xing's eyes.
