Others Level Up, but I Pursue Cultivation!

Directly allowing Su Xing to surpass a group of geniuses!

Su Xing estimated that an accomplished Mahayana cultivator with such abundant mana like himself was a prodigy who was hard to come by even in a flourishing era of cultivation, perhaps only appearing once every thousand or even ten thousand years!

"However... I still can't be complacent! Merely reaching the Mahayana stage isn't enough..."

Su Xing gently shook his head. Just as he was about to follow his daily routine, a new surge of power emerged within him.

His Body Refinement was also about to break through!

Great Achievement Stage Six... Great Achievement Stage Seven...

Great Achievement Stage Eight!

In just a few breaths, Su Xing's realm had leaped by two minor realms.

After familiarizing himself with the surge in strength, Su Xing nodded in satisfaction.

"Not bad... At the Great Achievement Stage Eight, close to the strength of eight hundred mountains!"

"At this rate, reaching the Perfection of the Great Achievement Stage will grant the so-called strength of a thousand mountains!"

Pausing, Su Xing continued:

"And with the surge in Qi Refining cultivation, even without borrowing the Body-Protecting Sword Aura and the Heavenly Sword Technique... I can still wrestle with cultivators in the Transcendance Tribulation Stage!"

After both realms, Qi Refining and Body Refining, broke through, Su Xing glanced at the sky, murmuring:

"Good, I didn't feel the gaze of the Red Moon in reality..."

"As expected, thanks to the simulator, most of the breakthrough activities were shielded."

"This is for the best, at least I won't worry about being exposed too early!"

Su Xing nodded in satisfaction.

However, he also knew that if his cultivation reached a certain height, the breakthrough activity might be too intense for the simulator to shield.

At that time, Su Xing would need to use formations, prohibitions, and the Heavenly Secrets Shielding Technique to hide his breakthrough activities.

After the surge in cultivation, Su Xing glanced at the time and murmured:

"For the next few days, I'll continue as usual, heading out to mine and accumulate energy!"

Although he had a slight surplus, the energy needed would increase the further he progressed, so Su Xing couldn't slack off.

In a short span of seven days...

During these seven days, Su Xing emptied two veins of Fourth-Rank Special Metals, estimating that after refinement, they would bring about forty billion energy!

On April 14, Su Xing left the Xianwu World and returned to Blue Star, meeting Jin Congxue as scheduled.

"Here, these are the goods for this week... and the refined special metals."

Jin Congxue yawned, then handed a few storage rings to Su Xing.

Su Xing's heart stirred; the week's goods plus the special metals provided nearly fifty billion simulated energy!

This somewhat surprised Su Xing.

"Su Xing, all the raw special metal ores you gave me before have been expedited and refined..."

"Now, in the Tarot Commerce Association alone, there are close to three thousand professionals just for refining special metals! This is quite an expense..."

Jin Congxue said with some concern.

Initially, the Tarot Commerce Association was able to make normal profits, but now most of the money from sold items and elixirs went to paying the professionals' wages.

Without the ability to make profits, it would be difficult for the Tarot Society to expand any further in the short term.

Su Xing thought for a moment, then asked:

"Sister Xue, how is the development of the Nourishing Face Pill's foreign market going?"

Jin Congxue nodded and said:

"Very well! Foreign professionals, due to their regions and professions, often age faster than those in the Great Xia Country..."

"So the Nourishing Face Pill sells quite well overseas, and the market has initially opened up. Now, we are just worried about the supply issue."

After thinking for a moment, Su Xing said:

"The overseas price of the Nourishing Face Pill should be three times higher than domestically!"

"From now on, I'll provide you with the Nourishing Face Pill every week, ensuring enough supply to flood the overseas markets!"

Hearing Su Xing's words, Jin Congxue's eyes brightened.

If this were true, the Tarot Commerce Association would likely turn a profit immediately and might even expand further!

...

After parting with Jin Congxue, Su Xing returned to the Spirit Field Cave.

Taking advantage of the cooldown period of the simulated time, Su Xing pondered his future development in reality!

"Actually, my plan has always been clear... Earn a large number of resources in reality to exchange for simulated energy!"

"Then accumulate strength in the simulator, continuously improving my cultivation realm and mastering the Hundred Arts of Cultivation..."

Su Xing murmured.

His method was undoubtedly the most scientific.

But this also meant that the stronger Su Xing's influence in the real world, the greater the benefits he would receive! The more simulated energy he could obtain!

Currently, Su Xing's energy mainly came from the following sources:

First, the weekly supply of goods and refined special metals from the Tarot Commerce Association.

By mining special metals weekly, it was estimated that the energy Su Xing could gain weekly would be between forty to fifty billion, with little room for growth in the short term.

Second, the nine puppets from the Heavenly Secret Pavilion and trades with other commerce associations.

Su Xing estimated that a trading trip, which would take one to two months, could provide him with tens of billions to over a hundred billion simulated energy.

Third, trades with the Great Xia Military, with the middleman naturally being "Old Lu."

According to Old Lu, the future trade volume would increase, and Su Xing estimated the weekly profit to be over thirty billion energy.

Considering this, Su Xing's monthly net energy gain was about four to five hundred billion!

This seemed like a lot, but Su Xing was about to undergo tribulation to become immortal, and the energy cost for that would increase exponentially!

"Besides, the Baili Business Association only occasionally has some goods... which isn't particularly crucial."

Su Xing frowned slightly. Although he wasn't short on energy for now, he needed to plan ahead!

Thinking this way, expanding into overseas markets and trading with other countries was imperative!
