"Keep it up. I'll be refining elixirs for another week. Once things calm down outside, I'll go find Jin Congxue!"
Su Xing mumbled to himself, then began to work on the elixirs.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, a week had passed.
Today was the scheduled trade time between Su Xing and Jin Congxue.
After taking a Concealment Elixir, Su Xing adjusted his breath, then left the Spirit Field Blessed Land and returned to the Profession User's market.
Spreading his divine sense, he ensured that no one was paying attention to him. Su Xing then disguised himself as an ordinary college student, bought some low-rank equipment and tools, and returned to the school.
Upon returning to school, Su Xing strolled around leisurely, even going to the cafeteria for a bowl of braised pork.
After confirming nothing unusual, Su Xing sent a text message to Jin Congxue.
Soon after, he set off to the usual villa.
Su Xing wasn't overly cautious, but it never hurt to be careful.
After all, the Black Dragon Guild was backed by the Descending Sect; being extra cautious was prudent.
If he were truly being followed, Su Xing wouldn't be too worried given his current strength. But if he carelessly went to the villa and got Jin Congxue involved, he would definitely regret it.
In the familiar villa room, Jin Congxue had been waiting for a long time.
Though it had been half a month since they last met, Jin Congxue remained as stunning as ever, dressed in traditional Han attire, looking both dignified and beautiful.
"Sister Xue, why so formal today?"
Su Xing sat down familiarly, teasing Jin Congxue.
Jin Congxue rolled her eyes at his words and explained:
"Today is the day for my Jin Merchant Guild to worship our ancestors. I just finished the ceremony this morning and haven't had time to change."
Su Xing, puzzled, asked:
"Isn't your hometown Jinling City? Why come to Kyoto to worship your ancestors?"
Jin Congxue, speechless, replied: "Who told you my hometown is Jinling City? My ancestral home is in Kyoto. It was my father's generation that moved the Jin Merchant Guild to Jinling, and we've been settled in Jiangnan since..."
Su Xing nodded, starting to understand.
Jin Congxue teased: "Hey, big boss, where have you been these past two days?"
Su Xing chuckled and said: "Where would I find the time? I've been busy refining elixirs every day!"
Saying that, Su Xing passed over the twelve thousand elixirs he had refined in the past two weeks.
Jin Congxue didn't believe his words but didn't press further. Instead, she handed over the goods from the past two weeks to Su Xing.
"Here, these are the goods from the past two weeks. The Tarot Commerce Association has been growing bigger and bigger recently. I don't know what kind of luck you have..."
"At this rate, within two years, the Tarot Commerce Association might become a top-tier commerce guild!"
Su Xing took the storage ring and chuckled.
He knew very well this was the effect of his prosperous business talent.
Though he didn't manage the commerce guild, he was its true boss and acted like a mascot, naturally making the guild's development smooth.
Then, Jin Congxue took out two ancient jade boxes and handed them to Su Xing.
"These are the medicinal herbs you asked for, thousand-year-old ginseng, Lingzhi, and He Shou Wu..."
"These herbs are not easy to find! Only families with heritage have a few. I had to go through a lot of trouble to get them."
"Moreover, these thousand-year-old herbs must be kept in top-quality ancient jade boxes to prevent the loss of medicinal properties."
Su Xing nodded, opened a jade box, and peered inside.
Sure enough, there were several thousand-year-old herbs lying quietly inside, emitting a remarkable medicinal fragrance.
"Tsk tsk, these thousand-year-old herbs, even if grown in ordinary soil, are probably comparable to spiritual medicine, right?"
Su Xing estimated these herbs should be enough to refine seven or eight Life Extension Pills.
Once he finished refining the Life Extension Pills, Su Xing could visit Baili Commerce Guild if he had the chance.
After all, he had been eyeing Baili Qi's "treasures" for a long time.
Su Xing put away the herbs and, after spending some time with Jin Congxue, reluctantly returned to the school.
Upon entering the Spirit Field Blessed Land, Su Xing first exchanged the goods from the past two weeks into energy.
The accumulated goods provided nearly 32 million energy!
Adding the leftover simulated energy from the last time, the total amount reached more than 46 million.
Seeing the simulation time had refreshed, Su Xing was ready to start a new round of simulation.
On June 17, 2024, in the New Era, Su Xing began his forty-first simulation as scheduled.
[Ding! This simulation consumes 4100 points of energy. Remaining energy: 46.23 million points. Simulation attempts left: unlimited.]
[Drawing green talent costs 1000 points of energy, blue talent costs 10,000 points of energy, purple talent costs 100,000 points of energy. Would you like to draw?]
"Draw purple talent!"
Su Xing didn't hesitate and spoke directly.
[Congratulations, you have acquired the purple talent: The Great Wisdom in Foolishness!]
[The Great Wisdom in Foolishness]: Purple talent. Normally, you may appear dull or even somewhat foolish, but at crucial moments, you can unleash accumulated wisdom and display unprecedented intelligence and comprehension. This is an active talent that can freely switch between "Foolish," "Great Wisdom," and "Mediocrity" modes.
Note: In the foolish mode, intelligence and comprehension will slightly decrease, which may affect the host's daily life.
Upon seeing the talent description, Su Xing frowned slightly.
"This seems like another talent affecting comprehension? But it looks a bit foolish, doesn't it?"
This was the first active talent Su Xing had encountered, and he believed it wasn't that simple.
After reading it several times, a gleam flashed in Su Xing's eyes.
