Su Xing was stunned after hearing this.
He certainly knew the value of these spiritual rice grains. For cultivators, these grains were high-quality cultivation resources.
And for other Awakened individuals, long-term consumption of these spiritual rice grains could also improve their physical fitness.
In other words, it was like those props in online novels that could directly enhance the physical attributes and strength of ordinary Awakened individuals.
However, Su Xing only spent 50,000 energy points to get fifty pounds of spiritual rice, which converted to 10 million Great Xia Coins.
But how could these fifty pounds of spiritual rice be worth 50 million Great Xia Coins?
Jin Congxue said at this moment:
“Last night, I had the appraisers in the firm estimate the value of these spiritual rice grains.”
“For ordinary Awakened individuals, these spiritual rice grains are comparable to the powerful meat of fierce beasts; they are treasures that can nourish the body.”
“But the most precious aspect is indeed the effect of these spiritual rice grains on ordinary people! They can prolong life, delay aging… and even cure diseases!”
“I think many wealthy people would be willing to spend a million to buy a pound of spiritual rice to try… A pound of spiritual rice is enough for an ordinary person to eat for half a month, and this stuff is almost impossible to replicate. It’s a treasure only we have, don’t you think it’s precious?”
After hearing Jin Congxue’s explanation, Su Xing understood.
The so-called rarity makes things precious, and now these spiritual rice grains are exclusively monopolized by him, naturally making them valuable.
Moreover, the effect of prolonging life for ordinary people was extremely tempting.
Su Xing nodded slightly but suddenly thought of something and said:
“Congxue, it’s best if you consume these spiritual rice grains yourself… Even if you want to give them away, never say they are from me! Please keep it a secret for me!”
Seeing Su Xing so serious, Jin Congxue knew he wasn’t joking, so she took the spiritual rice grains and said:
“Don’t worry, I will keep it a secret for you! As for these fifty pounds of spiritual rice, how about we consider it as repaying fifty million Great Xia Coins?”
Su Xing nodded after hearing this.
The reason he didn’t want Jin Congxue to reveal his identity was because he was afraid the mysterious organization would target him.
After all, in the simulation, the outcome after revealing the spiritual rice grains was very tragic.
However, if Su Xing needed money in the future, he could sell some to Jin Congxue.
After all, he still had over three thousand pounds of spiritual rice in his portable spiritual field, which would mature and be ready for harvest in six months.
Su Xing then said:
“Congxue, I want to purchase a batch of white-quality equipment from your Jin family business. Consider this one hundred million as the procurement money!”
Su Xing handed the card to Jin Congxue. Although she was curious why Su Xing needed so much white-quality equipment, she still nodded in agreement.
“I can help you buy it, but… you have to stay in Nanjing City with me for a week so I can properly host you!”
Jin Congxue blinked playfully.
Su Xing naturally agreed, as purchasing equipment would take some time.
In the following week, Su Xing stayed in Nanjing City, where Jin Congxue was very hospitable.
Through Jin Congxue’s introduction, Su Xing obtained over 100,000 pieces of white equipment from the Jin family business at the lowest price of 900 yuan per piece.
On December 3, 2023, in the New Era, Su Xing returned to Beijing University.
The first thing he did upon returning to the dormitory was to convert all the white equipment into simulation energy.
More than 100,000 pieces of equipment were exchanged for a total of 620,000 energy points, making Su Xing wealthier than ever.
“Sigh, now I’m a huge debtor with a small goal to repay…”
Su Xing smiled bitterly, realizing he must find ways to increase his income. Otherwise, if he kept borrowing money, he would eventually run out of funds to buy energy.
Currently, it seems that the spiritual grains in the blessed land are a stable way to make money… but it will take another six months for the grains to mature, and these 600,000 energy points might not be enough for him to simulate many times.
Su Xing quickly had an idea in mind and started a new round of simulation.
“Start simulation!”
【This simulation consumes 1300 energy points. Remaining energy points: 622,680. Remaining Simulation Chances: None.】
【Simulation begins!】
【Drawing a white talent costs 100 energy points. Drawing a green talent costs 1000 energy points. Would you like to draw?】
“Draw a green talent!”
【Ding! Congratulations, you have obtained the green talent: Tenacity!】
【Tenacity】: Your mindset is several times more determined than ordinary people. When faced with difficulties, you will forge ahead and never give up easily.
Upon seeing this talent, Su Xing’s eyes lit up. This was a talent that could influence one’s mindset. Although it could not directly enhance strength, its usefulness in simulations should not be underestimated.
【In the dormitory, you realize you are in a simulation.】
【You first return to the spiritual field blessed land to observe whether the chickens you bought a few days ago have survived.】
【Unsurprisingly, none of the dozens of chickens you bought last time survived.】
【You have a hearty meal and then go to the market to buy hundreds of chickens to raise in the spiritual field blessed land.】
【You begin to study the Trigram Fire Pill Refining Technique, which records the methods for refining 360 kinds of pills, most of which you do not understand.】
【You can only choose a few lower level pills to refine.】
【You choose Fasting Pills and Beauty Pills, both of which are first-grade pills with the simplest refining methods.】
【The main ingredient for Fasting Pills is spiritual rice, with some added herbs. Consuming one can allow an ordinary person to go a month without eating and not feel hungry.】
【Fortunately, apart from the relatively precious spiritual rice, the other ingredients for Fasting Pills can be purchased in this world.】
【You take out the old pill refining furnace to start refining pills but soon encounter your first problem: you have no fire.】
【You try to use a lighter to ignite it, but the temperature of the ordinary flame is not high enough, and it lacks spiritual energy, making it difficult to refine pills.】
【So you take out the Trigram Fire Pill Refining Technique again to study, and soon discover a flame control technique for a fire called the Trigram Fire.】
【The jade slip records that the Trigram Fire is a simplified version of the ancient divine fire Bright South Trigram Fire. It is difficult to cultivate and requires great perseverance to master.】
【But you are least afraid of difficulties, so you begin to delve into the Trigram Fire technique.】
【In the first year, you spend four hours a day comprehending the Trigram Fire technique, continuing for an entire year without making any progress.】
【During this period, Wang Qingxuan came to see you. After one night together, she joined the Adventists.】
【In the second year, you increase the time spent comprehending Trigram Fire to six hours a day. You continue for another year but still do not make any progress.】
【With a determined heart, you never give up. In the third year, you spend eight hours a day comprehending Trigram Fire. After six months, you finally grasp a hint of the technique.】
【Overjoyed, you continue to comprehend the Trigram Fire technique day and night. After another two and a half years, you finally reach entry level mastery.】
【In the sixth year, you successfully achieve basic mastery of the Trigram Fire technique, able to summon a wisp of Trigram Fire in your palm.】
【This Trigram Fire has an extremely high temperature, igniting anything it touches. Gold melts into liquid in just a few seconds, yet Trigram Fire does not harm you at all.】
【You realize that Trigram Fire can not only be used for pill refining but also to ward off enemies!】
