    Chapter 23: Fire-Control Alchemy Technique!

    Su Xing was stunned after hearing this.

    He was aware of the value of these Spirit Rice, of course. For cultivators, these Spirit Rice were high-quality cultivation resources. For other professions, long-term consumption of these Spirit Rice could also enhance their physical fitness.

    In other words, it was like the items in web novels that could directly enhance the physique, strength, and other attributes of ordinary professionals.

    However, Su Xing only spent 50,000 energy to get 50 catties of Spirit Rice, which was equivalent to 10 million Great Summer coins.

    How could these 50 catties of Spirit Rice be worth 50 million Great Summer coins?

    Jin Cong Xue said at this time:

    “Last night, I had the appraisers in the Chamber of Commerce estimate the value of these Spirit Rice.”

    “For ordinary professionals, these Spirit Rice are no less than those powerful beast meats, they are treasures that can nourish the body.”

    “But the most precious thing is the effect of these Spirit Rice on ordinary people! They can prolong life, slow down aging… and even eliminate diseases!”

    “I think there will be many rich people willing to pay one million to buy one catty of Spirit Rice to try… One catty of Spirit Rice is enough for an ordinary person to eat for half a month, and this thing is almost impossible to replicate, it is a treasure that only we have, do you think it’s precious?”

    After hearing Jin Cong Xue’s explanation, Su Xing understood.

    As the saying goes, rarity is precious, and this Spirit Rice was now something he had a monopoly on, naturally, it was precious.

    Moreover, the effect of the Spirit Rice on ordinary people’s longevity was too tempting.

    Su Xing nodded slightly, but suddenly thought of something, and said:

    “Cong Xue, you better consume this Spirit Rice I gave you yourself… Even if you want to give it away, don’t say it’s from me! Please keep it a secret for me!”

    Seeing Su Xing’s seriousness, Jin Cong Xue also knew he wasn’t joking, so she took the Spirit Rice and said:

    “Don’t worry, I’ll keep it a secret for you! As for these fifty catties of Spirit Rice, consider it as your payment of 50 million Great Summer coins, how about it?”

    Su Xing nodded after listening.

    The reason why he didn’t let Jin Cong Xue expose his identity was that he was afraid that the mysterious organization would target him.

    After all, he had just exposed the Spirit Rice in the simulation, and the consequences were quite miserable.

    However, in the future, if Su Xing needed money, he could sell some to Jin Cong Xue.

    After all, there were still over 3000 catties of Spirit Valley in his portable Spirit Field Paradise, and they would be ready to be harvested in half a year.

    Su Xing then said:

    “Cong Xue, I want to buy a batch of white-quality equipment from your Jin Chamber of Commerce, consider this 100 million as the purchase money!”

    Su Xing handed the card to Jin Cong Xue, who, although curious why he wanted so much white-quality equipment, still nodded in agreement.

    “I can help you buy it, but… you have to stay in Jinling City for a week, I want to show you the local hospitality!”

    Jin Cong Xue winked playfully.

    Su Xing naturally agreed, after all, buying equipment also took time.

    For the next week, Su Xing stayed in Jinling City, with Jin Cong Xue being very hospitable.

    Through Jin Cong Xue’s introduction, Su Xing was able to purchase over 100,000 pieces of white-quality equipment from the Jin Chamber of Commerce at the lowest price of 900 pieces per equipment.

    On December 3rd, 2023 of the New Era, Su Xing returned to Kyoto University.

    The first thing Su Xing did when he returned to the dormitory was to exchange all the white-quality equipment for simulation energy.

    Over 100,000 pieces of equipment, enough to exchange for 620,000 energy points, made Su Xing richer than ever.

    “Sigh, now I’m also a big negative asset who owes a small goal of debt…”

    Su Xing chuckled bitterly, he had to find a way to make money, otherwise, he would eventually run out of money to buy energy if he kept borrowing from others.

    “Looking at it now, the Spirit Valley in the Paradise is a stable way to make money… But the Spirit Valley still needs half a year to mature, and this 600,000 energy points probably won’t be enough for me to simulate a few times.”

    Su Xing quickly had an idea in his mind and started a new round of simulation.

    “Start simulation!”

    【This simulation consumes 1300 energy points, remaining energy: 622680 points, remaining simulation times: unlimited.】

    【Simulation Start!】

    【Draw white-quality talent costs 100 energy points, green-quality talent costs 1000 energy points, do you want to draw?】

    “Draw green-quality talent!”

    【Ding, congratulations on obtaining green-quality talent: Unwavering Determination!】

    【Unwavering Determination】: Your mind is several times more resolute than ordinary people, you will face difficulties head-on and never give up easily.

    Su Xing’s eyes lit up when he saw this talent, it was a talent that could affect his mental state, although it couldn’t directly enhance his strength, it was probably not to be underestimated in the simulation.

    【In the dormitory, you realize you are in a simulation.】

    【You first return to the Spirit Field Paradise and check if the chickens you bought a few days ago have survived.】

    【Unsurprisingly, none of the dozens of chickens you purchased last time survived.】

    【You have a hearty meal, then go to the market and buy hundreds of chickens to raise in the Spirit Field Paradise.】

    【You start to study the Fire-Control Alchemy Technique, it records the refining methods for 360 kinds of elixirs, most of which you don’t understand.】

    【You can only choose a few lower-grade elixirs to refine.】

    【You choose Qi-Replenishing Pills and Beauty Pills, these two are first-order elixirs, with the simplest refining methods.】

    【The main ingredient of Qi-Replenishing Pills is Spirit Rice, and some herbs are added, eating one pill allows ordinary people to not eat for a month without feeling hungry.】

    【Fortunately, the materials for Qi-Replenishing Pills, except for the Spirit Rice, are all available for purchase in this world.】

    【You take out the dilapidated alchemy furnace and prepare to start alchemy, but you quickly encounter the first problem: you have no fire.】

    【You try using a lighter to start a fire, but ordinary flames simply don’t have enough temperature, and lack spiritual energy, making it difficult to refine elixirs.】

    【So, you take out the Fire-Control Alchemy Technique and study it again, and soon you find a flame technique called Fire of Separation within it.】

    【The jade slip records that the Fire of Separation is a simplified version of the ancient divine fire, Nanming Li Fire. It is difficult to cultivate and not easy to master unless you have great willpower.】

    【But you are not afraid of difficulties, so you start to study the Fire of Separation Technique.】

    【In the first year, you spend four hours a day comprehending the Fire of Separation Technique, for a whole year, but you haven’t been able to enter it.】

    【During this time, Wang Qingxuan came to see you, and after one night, she joined the Descent Sect.】

    【In the second year, you increased the time spent comprehending the Fire of Separation to six hours a day, and you continued for a whole year, but you still couldn’t enter it.】

    【You remain firm in your heart and never give up. In the third year, you spend eight hours a day comprehending the Fire of Separation, and after half a year, you finally master a hint of the Fire of Separation Technique.】

    【You are overjoyed and spend every day comprehending the Fire of Separation Technique without stopping day or night. Two and a half years later, you finally enter the technique.】

    【In the sixth year, you successfully initially master the Fire of Separation Technique, able to summon a wisp of Fire of Separation in your palm.】

    【This Fire of Separation is extremely hot, burning everything it touches. Gold will melt into molten gold in the Fire of Separation in just a few seconds, but the Fire of Separation will not harm you in the slightest.】

    【You realize that the Fire of Separation can be used not only for alchemy but also for defense!】
