Others Level Up, but I Pursue Cultivation!

Jin Congxue smiled and said,

"These masters are all retired from the Jin Merchant Guild. They are top-notch in equipment appraisal and trade management, and will be the cornerstone of our Tarot Society's future…"

The elderly appraisers, with white hair, waved their hands humbly and said repeatedly,

"President, what are you talking about? For us old folks to serve you is already an honor…"

Su Xing, of course, knew these appraisers were only being modest.

After all, in the field of appraisal and trade management, the older one gets, the more valuable they become. These masters had been immersed in the industry for decades. Jin Congxue must have put in considerable effort to invite them here.

With these experienced elders, Su Xing could confidently play the role of a hands-off boss.

Jin Congxue then pointed to Su Xing and introduced,

"This is Master Su, also one of the founding elders of our Tarot Society. Everyone, get to know him…"

Su Xing nodded slightly. He had previously told Jin Congxue not to reveal his identity as the President of the Tarot Society for his own safety.

On the surface, Su Xing was just an elder of the Tarot Society. Only Jin Congxue knew his true identity within the organization.

This was exactly what Su Xing wanted. After all, to him, the Tarot Society was just a tool to earn energy. If he could receive a fixed amount of energy every week without exposing himself, it would be ideal.

During the Tarot Society's first elder meeting, these industry veterans shared their insights, while Su Xing remained indifferent.

After the meeting ended, Jin Congxue called Su Xing aside.

"Here, this is the money made from selling elixirs last week. All of it is converted into equipment through the Tarot Society, a total of 120,000 pieces of white-quality equipment."

Jin Congxue said as she handed over a storage ring.

Su Xing's eyes lit up. He took the storage ring and asked,

"Why did we gather ten thousand more pieces of equipment compared to before?"

Jin Congxue rolled her eyes and explained,

"It's our own guild now. We've organized a team of profession users near the Jiangnan Academy to farm dungeons and gather treasure. Every week, they bring in over a thousand pieces of white-quality equipment and hundreds of green-quality or higher-grade equipment…"

"Of course, since the guild was just founded, we've only recruited less than a hundred people. In a couple of months, this number will increase tenfold."

"Besides, our guild's business also includes the trade of potions, skill scrolls, and experience stones…"

"For now, the primary source of equipment is through collaborative trade with the Jin Merchant Guild. After another year or so, our own guild will be able to supply a large amount of equipment."

Su Xing nodded repeatedly. Although he wasn't well-versed in commerce, as long as he trusted Jin Congxue to ensure a steady weekly intake of energy, it was all good.

At this moment, Su Xing, an outsider, giving directions to professionals wouldn't be wise.

Su Xing took out some pre-prepared Nourishing Face Pills from the storage ring and handed them to Jin Congxue.

"These are 300 Nourishing Face Pills. I made extra this week, including 100 top-quality Nourishing Face Pills, which can maintain youth for three months."

Jin Congxue took the Nourishing Face Pills, a look of amazement flashing across her heart, and muttered,

"Goodness, you're like a human cash machine! Three hundred Nourishing Face Pills in one week… These pills' market value must exceed five billion!"

Jin Congxue took out a top-quality Nourishing Face Pill, observed it for a while, and then said,

"I think we should use some of these top-quality Nourishing Face Pills as internal guild rewards! Many masters joined our Tarot Society because they wanted these pills…"

Su Xing nodded slightly and said,

"You handle these matters. I trust you!"

The cost of the Nourishing Face Pills wasn't high. Using them as internal rewards merely meant Su Xing spent a few extra hours alchemizing them.

Jin Congxue looked at Su Xing with her beautiful eyes and pouted slightly,

"You trust me that much? Aren't you afraid I might run away with your fortune?"

Su Xing chuckled and said,

"If you run away with my fortune, that's fine. You just need to be careful not to get taken away by me!"

Jin Congxue blushed at his words and lowered her head without speaking.

After watching a movie with Jin Congxue, Su Xing returned to his dormitory in the afternoon alone.

He skillfully entered the Spirit Field Blessed Land and exchanged the newly acquired 120,000 pieces of white-quality equipment for points.

120,000 pieces of white-quality equipment brought Su Xing nearly 700,000 simulated energy, replenishing his scarce stock once again.

On the afternoon of January 14, 2024, the New Era, Su Xing started a new round of simulation on time.

"Begin simulation!"

[This simulation consumed 1900 points of energy. Remaining energy points: 703,000 points. Remaining simulation times: none.]

[Simulation begins!]

[Extracting white talent costs 100 points. Extracting green talent costs 1000 points. Extracting blue talent costs 10,000 points. Would you like to extract?]

"Extract blue-quality talent!"

Su Xing didn't hesitate. After experiencing the benefits of blue talent, green talent seemed trashy to him.

[Ding! Congratulations on obtaining blue talent: Level 10 Beast Speech]

[Level 10 Beast Speech]: Blue talent. You can understand the language of all spirit beasts and animals.

"Oh, this talent seems interesting!"

Su Xing stroked his chin, pondering. Although at first glance Beast Speech talent didn't seem to enhance Su Xing's power, it might have unexpected effects in some situations.

The best way to experiment, of course, was through simulation.

Su Xing immersed his mind into the simulator.

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

[Just as you were about to practice alchemy, several unfamiliar voices suddenly reached your ears.]

[In the Spirit Field Blessed Land, besides you, there was no one else. You were puzzled and began searching for the source of the voices.]

[Finally, you discovered that the ones speaking were the Spirit Chickens you had been raising. After months of breeding, drinking Spiritual Spring water, and eating Spirit Rice daily, they had developed rudimentary spiritual senses.]

[Through communication with the Spirit Chickens, you found that one of them, surprisingly, called itself Chicken Boss and had vaguely become the leader of several dozen Spirit Chickens.]

[You tried to communicate with the Spirit Chickens and told them that if they laid eggs daily and hatched chicks quickly, you would give them more Spirit Rice.]

[The Spirit Chickens were surprised that you could understand them, but they knew you were the absolute master here, so they obeyed your words.]

[Encouraging the Spirit Chickens, you began your daily alchemy, occasionally visiting the Tarot Society and maintaining good relations with Wang Qingxuan.]

[Half a year later, Wang Qingxuan suddenly sought you out, telling you she wanted to join a mysterious organization.]

[Determined to obtain the second half of the Changchun Technique in this simulation, you told Wang Qingxuan without hesitation that you also wanted to join this mysterious organization.]

[Wang Qingxuan wanted to stop you, but with your firm request, she finally agreed to let you join the Descending Sect.]
