```As Su Xing put it: Damn it, I've been grinding for over half a year, why can't I enjoy a break?
During that period, Su Xing even took a day off to invite Jin Congxue to a movie.
After all, Su Xing's Tarot Society was now on the right track, and its businesses, aside from selling a few types of elixirs,
included trade in equipment and instance dungeon items, which were gradually picking up and bringing more and more simulated energy for Su Xing.
Furthermore, with the impending successful acquisition of a mine dungeon, once exotic metals could be collected on a large scale, Su Xing's source of simulated energy would greatly increase.
In comparison, the profits brought in by Su Xing's weekly elixir crafting had become less significant.
"Once I finish paying off the debt from acquiring Lingyun Commerce Guild, there's no need to craft Nourishing Face Pills... Even if I need to continue alchemy, I can craft some elixirs with higher returns,"
thought Su Xing.
In the past few months, Su Xing had been crafting nothing but Nourishing Face Pills and Wound Healing Pills to the point of feeling nauseated.
After storing away the elixirs he had crafted for the week, Su Xing set off for the villa to meet with Jin Congxue.
Jin Congxue was wearing a sexy long dress today, which earned Su Xing's silent praise.
After a meal, the two began to discuss official business.
Handing over a storage ring, Jin Congxue blinked and said,
"Big boss, I have some good news for you. What do you think it is? Guess correctly and there's a reward oh!" S~eaʀᴄh the ηovelFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Smelling a test, Su Xing tentatively asked, "First tell me what the reward is?"
Jin Congxue giggled and said, "If you answer correctly, this Miss will reluctantly accompany you to another movie next week. How does that sound?"
Su Xing laughed upon hearing this, knowing that Jin Congxue wanted to see a movie.
But Su Xing hadn't been that busy recently and he did have time for a movie.
So he played along,
"Let me guess, is it that the mine dungeon matter has been settled?"
Hearing this, Jin Congxue's eyes widened, and her red lips parted slightly in surprise, looking adorably cute.
"You're amazing! Could it be that you really know fortune telling?"
Su Xing smiled slightly upon hearing this. With the simulator as his cheat, he did have the ability to foresee.
At this point, Jin Congxue added,
"That's right! I don't know what happened, but the one competing with us for this mine dungeon was the Baili Business Association..."
"But unexpectedly, they suddenly shifted their focus to collecting instance dungeon items, and didn't even attend the auction... As a result, we got the contracting rights to the mine dungeon at a very low price!"
Pausing, Jin Congxue complained,
"I originally thought collecting instance dungeon items was just a personal quirk of the young master of the Baili family, but now it has become a strategic goal of the Baili business..."
"Sigh, it seems the old Mr. Baili really doesn't have much time left, and who knows how long the Baili Business Association can thrive under Baili Qi's hands..."
Su Xing's expression turned somewhat strange upon hearing this.
He hadn't expected his visit to the Baili residence would bring such an unexpected surprise.
This collection of instance dungeon items must have been ordered by the head of the Baili family, Baili Tu.
Such a public change in strategic goals was probably aimed at one thing: to trade with Su Xing again!
"Tsk tsk, the allure of the Life Extension Pill is indeed great... But this also makes things easier for me, as I can go trade with the Baili Business Association whenever I need more simulated energy,"
thought Su Xing to himself.
A normal person could take two Life Extension Pills, and two pills together could yield an additional ten years of life!
This was an immense temptation for the old Mr. Baili.
```
Even after the effects of the Life Extension Pill had worn off, Su Xing still had control over a dozen kinds of Lifespan Extension Elixirs.
Just taking out two of them, they were worth hundreds of millions of modular energy units!
"Damn, being filthy rich is just awesome! If I had known this, why the hell would I start a commerce guild?"
Su Xing muttered to himself, but he was clear in his heart.
It was the commerce guild that could ensure a steady stream of earning modular energy.
And though exchanging Life Extension Pills for instance dungeon items was a quick way to get energy, Su Xing had to be extremely careful, not slip up in the slightest, or else it would lead to endless troubles.
Su Xing chatted with Jin Congxue for a while longer, then returned to school to convert this week's goods into energy.
It was a total of sixteen million energy, and Su Xing nodded in satisfaction, murmuring,
"Not bad, the Tarot Commerce Association is providing more and more energy!"
On the afternoon of July 1st, 2024 of the New Era, Su Xing punctually started a new round of simulation.
"Start simulation!"
[Ding! This simulation consumes 4300 points of energy, leaving 495.13 million points of energy, with unlimited remaining simulation times.]
[Simulation begins!]
[Extracting a green talent costs 1000 points of energy, a blue talent costs 10,000 points of energy, extracting a purple talent costs 100,000 points of energy, would you like to proceed with the extraction?]
Su Xing decisively said, "Extract the purple quality talent!"
[Congratulations, you have obtained the Purple Talent: Artifact Refining Genius!]
[Artifact Refining Genius]: You possess insight into Artifact Refining far beyond ordinary people, the quality of artifacts you craft is higher, and you have the potential to become an Artifact Refining Master.
"Hm? Artifact Refining?"
Su Xing looked at the newly drawn talent thoughtfully.
Elixirs, artifacts, the Dao of Arrays, talismans...
These four are considered to be among the most lucrative channels for Cultivators.
An ordinary Cultivator who can master one can be said to live without worries and have a place in the Cultivation World.
Su Xing, now only specialized in the Path of Alchemy, had already made a fortune.
"Nice one... this is a great talent for making money!"
Su Xing exclaimed, then shook his head,
"Unfortunately, I don't currently have knowledge about Artifact Refining, nor do I have any scriptures on it..."
"Although the path of Artifact Refining is quite profitable, it's obviously not something that can be learned overnight... Let's put this talent on hold in the talent pool for now, and when I need it, I'll draw it out..."
Compared to learning the Path of Artifact Refining, Su Xing was more prepared to quickly enhance his Qi Refining Cultivation.
Su Xing shook his head slightly, his gaze turning back to the simulation panel.
[In the Spirit Field Blessed Land, you realize you're in a simulation...]
[You return to your dormitory, encountering Fatty Yu, who has already advanced to a Grandmaster Level professional.]
[He is calling a few friends over for a meal and invites you too, and you agree to go.]
[Looking at your classmates at the last college gathering, you feel somewhat silent, as these classmates are the elite among professionals.]
[Some are full of infinite longing for the future, others are reluctant to leave their college days behind.]
[You silently listen to a few classmates brag and chat at the reunion, recalling the past four years of life, and thinking about the apocalyptic catastrophe coming in more than twenty years, feeling quite moved...]
[Your mindset has improved...]
