Jin Congxue shared the results of her research on the overseas market with Su Xing over the past two weeks.
In general, the market expansion was not very smooth at first, as the local trading companies suppressed the Tarot Society's products. However, the overall trend was positive.
Su Xing nodded slightly after listening to her. He estimated it was about time to make a trip overseas.
"Huangdao Country, as one of the seven countries, is quite close to the Great Xia Country. I should explore it..."
Su Xing stroked his chin and muttered.
Huangdao Country was a nation surrounded by seas, with its homeland located on islands near the northeastern area of the Great Xia Country. The distance from Kyoto City was not far, probably less than ten thousand miles in a straight line.
Although the homeland of Huangdao Country was not extensive, it had a significant number of profession users, and its commerce was quite developed. If Su Xing could establish trade relations with Huangdao Country, he could earn more simulated energy!
While Su Xing was pondering, Jin Congxue took out a storage ring and handed it to him:
"Here, these are local items brought from America. They are not produced in our Great Xia Country instances. See if the organization needs them..."
Upon hearing this, Su Xing took the storage ring and probed it with his divine sense.
Soon, he discovered many fist-sized, completely crimson strange minerals.
These minerals were not alien metals; they were just wrapped in black air, seemingly exuding an evil aura...
[Ding, simulated energy substance detected... Value: 10 million simulated energy. Absorb?]
Su Xing was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, and his interest was piqued.
In the storage ring, there were roughly a thousand of these weird stones.
On average, each stone was worth 10,000 simulated energy... This value seemed extremely high!
So Su Xing asked Jin Congxue:
"Sister Xue... where did you get these stones?"
Jin Congxue explained:
"These stones are called Abyss Stones... They are obtained from a special instance in America, the Endless Abyss!"
"In America, these stones have extremely high value and can noticeably enhance the strength of some of their local profession users."
"The price of an Abyss Stone is about one million Great Xia Coins, and that does not include tariffs. Moreover, only master-level profession users can mine them in the Abyss instances..."
Jin Congxue explained a lot, and Su Xing's eyes lit up after listening.
Including tariffs, the price of an Abyss Stone was slightly less than 1.5 million Great Xia Coins.
On average, 150 stones could be exchanged for one simulated energy point... This cost-effectiveness seemed even higher than that of white-grade equipment!
Moreover, Abyss Stones were small in size, easy to carry, and the number could be easily calculated... This was definitely an excellent way to acquire energy!
Besides... If a group of American profession users was recruited specifically to mine in the Abyss, the price could be even lower!
With this in mind, Su Xing decisively said:
"Sister Xue, the Tarot Society needs to open the overseas market as soon as possible!"
"Establish a branch there quickly. The profits earned, apart from maintaining basic operations of the trading association, should be used entirely to purchase these Abyss Stones!"
Seeing the serious expression on Su Xing's face, Jin Congxue also realized the value of these small stones.
So she nodded and said:
"Alright, I will arrange it as soon as possible. You can rest assured about this!"
Su Xing nodded slightly after hearing this. He had complete trust in Jin Congxue's abilities...
With Jin Congxue overseeing it, these Abyss Stones would soon flow into Su Xing's pocket.
Then, Jin Congxue handed over the goods and purified alien metals for the week to Su Xing, with the total value amounting to 4.3 billion energy.
Su Xing also handed the elixirs refined by the puppet the previous week to Jin Congxue...
The transaction was completed, and soon this meeting ended. Su Xing returned to the Spirit Field Cave.
After looking at the time, he noticed there was still a period before the simulation cooling time.
Su Xing began to plan the next simulation targets.
"With my current strength, under the enhancement of the Unethical in Martial Conduct... I could deliver a blow comparable to a full-powered strike of an Immortal Realm expert!"
"But this can't last... The most crucial thing is to elevate my cultivation realm!"
"Mid stage of Mahayana... I'm not far from reaching the Transcendance Tribulation Stage!"
Su Xing mulled over the matter.
Currently, breaking into the Tribulation Crossing stage and achieving the Immortal Realm was still the primary goal!
Upon achieving the Immortal Realm, aside from being able to cultivate both "Supreme Secret Techniques," Su Xing might receive more inheritances from the Luo Tian instance by then...
After determining the smaller simulation targets, Su Xing's simulation goals for this time became clear.
"Enhance Qi refining cultivation as much as possible... and increase divine sense strength!"
Thus, Su Xing's gaze turned towards the simulation panel.
On May 5, 2025, New Era, Su Xing began a new round of simulation!
"Commence simulation!"
[Ding! This simulation consumes 8,600 energy points, remaining energy: 19.18096 billion points, remaining simulation times: None.]
[Extracting purple talent requires 100,000 energy points, extracting golden legendary talent requires 1 million energy points. Do you want to extract?]
Su Xing did not hesitate and decisively said:
"Extract golden talent!"
[Ding, congratulations on obtaining purple talent Affix Master, the probability of extracting golden talent next time is 60%...]
[Affix Master]: Purple talent. Among the Hundred Arts of Cultivation, you can affix spells to spiritual treasures, weapons, etc., further enhancing their power...
Su Xing felt a bit helpless seeing the newly extracted talent.
"As expected, it was a purple talent. Moreover, affixing spells is not considered top-tier among the Hundred Arts of Cultivation, so there's no need to learn it..."
Su Xing shook his head slightly and refocused on the simulation panel.
[In the Spirit Field Cave, you realized you were simulating!]
