After storing the items away, Su Xing prepared to start setting up the Spirit Gathering Array.
First, he dismantled the core of the previous Spirit Gathering Array, then he rearranged the base Spirit Gathering Array.
Next, he combined two basic Spirit Gathering Arrays to form an elementary Spirit Gathering Array...
Finally, he set up an intermediate Spirit Gathering Array!
The setup of just one intermediate Spirit Gathering Array had taken Su Xing a full three days.
This was under the condition that Su Xing had a near-impeccable grasp of the Spirit Gathering Array, otherwise, it would have taken even more time.
"I'll just set up one for now... Afterward, I'll take a few days each week to set up the Spirit Gathering Array. There's no rush..."
With this in mind, Su Xing began his usual alchemy to make elixirs.
Due to time constraints, Su Xing could only afford to make three thousand elixirs.
On October 14th, after disguising himself and concealing his presence, Su Xing went to find Jin Congxue.
In the private room of the villa, Su Xing and Jin Congxue sat opposite each other.
After a meal, Su Xing handed over the elixirs made during the week to Jin Congxue and also collected this week's goods.
Once the trade was completed, Su Xing covertly returned to the Spirit Field Cave.
The new week's goods provided Su Xing with nearly one hundred million energy.
Thus, Su Xing's simulation energy once again reached five hundred and ninety million!
Su Xing secretly nodded and murmured,
"Even though the high-grade purified exotic metals are gone... but as the Tarot Society's business continues to grow... one hundred million energy a week is not bad!"
One hundred million a week, that's a full four hundred million energy a month!
Though for Su Xing, a month's worth of energy was barely enough for a few levels of the Broken Void Realm.
However, this was after all a stable and gradual source of energy income. If he could earn some extra money occasionally, it should be barely enough.
On October 14th of the New Era 2024, Su Xing promptly started a new round of simulation.
"Start the simulation!"
[Ding! This simulation consumes 5700 points of energy, remaining energy 612.33 million points, unlimited remaining simulations.] seaʀᴄh thё Nôvel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
[Simulation starting!]
[Drawing a Purple Talent costs 100,000 points of energy, drawing a Golden Legendary Talent costs 1 million energy, would you like to draw?]
"Draw a Golden Talent!" Su Xing silently thought.
[Ding, congratulations on drawing the Purple Talent "Touch of Midas," your next chance of drawing a Golden Talent is at 35%...]
As expected, it was a Purple Talent.
Su Xing wasn't disappointed, knowing the simulator's touching draw rates, getting a Golden Talent before a seventy percent chance would make him quite lucky, right?
"Touch of Midas... What kind of talent is that?"
Su Xing looked at the talent introduction.
[Touch of Midas]: Purple Talent, as the name suggests, you have the talent of turning anything into gold by spending a certain amount of Spiritual Power, you can turn ordinary stones into gold.
"Consume Spiritual Power to turn into gold!?"
"Hiss~ This seems like a top-level money-making talent!"
Su Xing's eyes lit up. On Blue Star, as a precious metal, one gram of gold was priced around 400 Great Xia Coins.
If he could get enough gold, Su Xing could definitely make a fortune in a short amount of time.
"Let's test out this talent first!"
Su Xing looked at the simulation panel.
[In the Spirit Field Cave, you realize you are in a simulation.]
[You go to a big mountain outside Kyoto City and bring back a large stone.]
[You attempt to activate your Spiritual Power talent to turn the stone into gold.]
[You succeed!]
[You spent one day transforming this stone into a whole ton of gold.]
Su Xing raised an eyebrow at this. A ton of gold a day, this talent seemed quite strong!
But after some quick calculations, Su Xing found the talent somewhat useless to him.
On Blue Star, a gram of gold is worth 400 Great Xia Coins.
One thousand grams, that's four hundred thousand...
A ton of gold is four billion!
Four billion seemed like a lot, but Su Xing made more than that in pure profit daily just by making elixirs.
After some further thinking, Su Xing shook his head and said,
"Unfortunately, this talent is of no use at the moment... I wonder if the speed of converting to gold will increase once my level is higher in the future?"
Su Xing sighed.
However, if Su Xing really reached that level of strength, money might truly become just a number to him.
"Well, my goal this time is to get Spiritual Liquid and improve my Body Refinement Cultivation Level... whether the talent is good or bad doesn't really matter."
After all, since he had to save up Spiritual Liquid, he naturally couldn't spend Spiritual Liquid to increase his Qi Refinement Cultivation Level.
Thus, improving his Body Refinement Cultivation Level at the same time seemed like the most cost-effective method.
Su Xing comforted himself and turned his gaze back to the simulation panel.
[You realize that the Touch of Midas talent isn't much use to you.]
[So you begin setting up a composite Spirit Gathering Array in the Spirit Field Cave and also set up a Water Gathering Formation.]
[ You spend three weeks completing the setup of these formations.]
[By now, the Spirit Field Cave has already been elevated to a medium-grade Cave Heaven.]
[Thus, the Spirit Field Cave will provide you with 3,000 drops of Spiritual Liquid every week, saving you time to collect Spiritual Liquid.]
[After setting up the Spirit Gathering Array, you go to Luo Shuying as agreed.]
[With Luo Shuying's introduction, you join the Descending Sect.]
[Using your "Master of Success" talent, you quickly attract a large number of die-hard fans.]
[You spend two years in the Descending Sect, during which you spend all your time making elixirs and saving up sixty days of "Great Wisdom State."]
[In the third year, you made a total of two hundred thousand elixirs, almost draining the treasury of the Descending Sect.]
[You believe the time is right, so you betray the Descending Sect.]
[You join the Great Xia Military. With the elixirs you made, you help Great Xia Country birth a large number of powerful individuals.]
