"This figure is already significant enough to attract the attention of Great Xia Country..."
Jin Congxue muttered to himself for a moment, seemingly weighing his options.
"An annual trade of two million jin of Spirit Rice should be feasible, and the risk index won't exceed 0.5 percent..."
"Of course, in that case, I'll need to change my public reason and say that my Tarot Commerce Association has discovered a concealed copy."
"Within this copy, precisely is where Spirit Rice can be produced, around two million jin per year."
"In this way, the Great Xia Military becomes our only partner, and as long as we keep the Spirit Rice from leaking out, I believe the Great Xia Military will not refuse!"
Su Xing nodded slightly after hearing this.
According to the simulation results, trading two million jin of Spirit Rice a year indeed poses no significant risk.
Jin Congxue thought for a moment and then said:
"If we provide the Great Xia Military with two million jin of Spirit Rice a year..."
"I am confident that I could secure the production rights for four mining area copies!"
"Moreover, these four mining area copies are of higher quality than the two we had before, and there is even a chance to produce second tier strange metals!"
Su Xing raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.
His previous calculations of simulated energy gain were based on the output of the original two mining area copies.
But now Jin Congxue was saying that the new mining area copies could produce higher-quality strange metals, wouldn't that mean they could obtain even more simulated energy?
Hence, Su Xing quickly asked:
"Oh? The new mining area copies are of better quality? What's the estimated weekly output?"
Jin Congxue thought about it for a moment and estimated:
"I have mentioned to you before, the mining area copies that the Commerce Association auctions are secondary, with a low yield of strange metals and they are difficult to mine."
"But this year, the military district should no longer have secondary mining area copies to offer, all of them are first-rate mining areas they are currently exploiting."
"In a secondary mining area copy, with full force mining, the weekly output is roughly around 300 tons of strange metals, and it's almost impossible to mine second-tier strange metals."
"However, a first-rate mining area copy has much richer mineral resources and is easier to mine...with a weekly output of around 400 to 500 tons, and there's a chance to mine second-tier strange metals!"
After a pause, Jin Congxue added:
"Overall, the value of a first-rate mining area copy is about 50 percent higher than a secondary one, or even more!"
Su Xing's eyes gleamed upon hearing this.
His prior estimate for the weekly output of four mining area copies was over 30 million simulated energy.
With a 50 percent increase and considering the probability of second-tier strange metals, wouldn't these four mining area copies alone provide fifty million simulated energy?
Including the other industries of the Tarot Society...
The weekly simulated energy would be over eighty million!
Rounded up, that's indeed a small goal!
"Goodness, this is an unexpectedly wonderful surprise!"
Su Xing was in a very good mood after hearing this.
But Jin Congxue considerately said to Su Xing:
"There's an 80 percent chance that this deal will go through, but you're facing a definite risk... to prevent any investigations from tracing back to you, shouldn't our meetings become more secretive?"
Su Xing nodded slightly and then had a stroke of inspiration.
He took out a Breath Concealing Pill and a Disguise Pill and swallowed them both.
A moment later, Su Xing transformed from a young man in his early twenties into a middle-aged uncle with a full beard.
"How about this, from now on I'll use this identity to meet you?"
Su Xing intentionally roughened his voice to imitate the uncle's tone as he spoke.
Jin Congxue was stunned by Su Xing's miraculous disguising technique and took a while to respond:
"Hmm~ I still think your original appearance was much more attractive..."
"But for safety's sake, we'll have to meet from now on..."
Su Xing nodded in agreement.
After chatting for a while longer, Su Xing returned to his dormitory with the goods for the new week and entered the Spirit Field Cave.
Upon entering the Spirit Field Cave, Su Xing couldn't wait to convert the week's goods into simulated energy.
A total of over thirty million points of energy!
Including the over sixty million left from before, Su Xing's simulated energy had now reached ninety-five million points!
"I choose to bring out the Divinity Transformation Stage Great Perfection cultivation level, as well as a minor mastery of external level Origin Force!"
Su Xing mused, looking at the simulation panel.
[You have successfully brought out the Divinity Transformation Stage Great Perfection cultivation, spending 30 million energy, remaining energy 65.04 million points.]
[You have successfully brought out the third stage Origin Force mastery (minor level), spending 50 million energy, remaining energy 15.04 million points.]
With the simulator's alert tones chiming, two mysterious forces descended upon Su Xing.
The next second, Su Xing's aura began to climb steadily.
Feeling the surge of spiritual power within, Su Xing swiftly sat down cross-legged, steadying his mind.
Divinity Transformation Stage Seven... Divinity Transformation Stage Eight... Divinity Transformation Stage Nine!
Ultimately, Divinity Transformation Great Perfection!
In just a few breaths' time, Su Xing's cultivation level had soared from Divinity Transformation seventh level to the peak of Divinity Transformation!
This rapid progression was undoubtedly astonishing.
It's worth noting that in the simulation, just advancing from Divinity Transformation ninth level to Great Perfection took Su Xing a week's time.
But with the simulator's extraordinary power, the feedback of cultivation, Su Xing's advancement took merely an instant!
Feeling the burgeoning spiritual power inside, a look of pleasant surprise crossed Su Xing's face as he murmured:
"Divinity Transformation Great Perfection... the density of this spiritual power inside me has increased by at least sixty or seventy percent compared to before!"
"Compared to when I first entered the Divinity Transformation stage... my spiritual power is roughly three times what it was!"
Su Xing couldn't help but smile at the corners of his mouth.
The abundance of spiritual power meant that Su Xing could fight for longer durations and also learn more advanced techniques and divine skills.
Struggling to control his newfound cultivation level and spiritual power, it took Su Xing a quarter of an hour before he managed to re-conceal his aura.
But Su Xing's breakthrough in strength was not limited to this!
Simultaneously with the breakthrough in Qi Refining cultivation, a subtle transformation also occurred within Su Xing's Origin Force...
