Others Level Up, but I Pursue Cultivation!

"After forming the Nine Revolution Golden Core, my alchemy speed has significantly increased. At my current speed, if I don't eat, drink, or sleep, I should be able to make three hundred Nourishing Face Pills in one day. In one week, I can barely make two thousand, which is still far from enough..."

Su Xing pondered while doing alchemy.

"Anyway, let's just make them first. Accumulating more elixirs will definitely sell for more money!"

So, for the next week, Su Xing worked day and night making elixirs, using Fasting Pills to maintain his energy, and hadn't slept for seven consecutive days.

Finally, after seven days, Su Xing had made a total of one thousand Nourishing Face Pills, three hundred top-grade Nourishing Face Pills, and eight hundred Wound Healing Pills.

Even at this speed, it was only achievable after Su Xing's breakthrough in strength, barely squeezing out his last bit of energy.

After seven days, Su Xing had dark circles under her eyes and couldn't stop yawning.

Continuously making elixirs for seven days without eating or drinking took a huge toll on his energy, and thanks to being a Golden Core stage cultivator, he hadn't died of exhaustion.

Looking at the small pile of elixirs in his storage ring, Su Xing smiled with satisfaction.

"Including the few hundred elixirs I stored before, I have three thousand elixirs now. Although it's not enough to acquire the Lingyun Commerce Guild, it's enough to give it a try for now!"

Su Xing took out his phone and sent a message to Jin Congxue, arranging a meeting time with her.

Half an hour later, the two of them arrived at the villa, having pre-ordered dinner, and prepared to chat while eating.

Jin Congxue was stunned for a moment when she saw Su Xing and asked, confused

"Haven't seen you for a few days, how do you look even better... Strangely, you give off a kind of kidney deficiency vibe."

Upon hearing this, Su Xing rolled his eyes. Looking better was due to his talent, while the kidney deficiency was completely because of staying up late making elixirs!

Soon, the servants delivered the pre-ordered deluxe dinner. Su Xing hadn't eaten in the past few days. Although the Fasting Pills kept his energy up, he couldn't help but feast upon seeing the lavish spread, picking up a large chicken leg and stuffing it in his mouth.

Seeing Su Xing eating so unreservedly, Jin Congxue rolled her eyes, handed over a napkin, and teased

"You starving ghost reincarnated? How does it feel like you haven't eaten in ages?"

Su Xing continued to gobble up the food while giving a thumbs up and said

"It's a pity you're not a fortune teller! I really haven't eaten for several days, and I couldn't resist these delicious foods!"

After a satisfying meal, Su Xing and Jin Congxue got down to business. She first handed over the three hundred thousand white-quality pieces of equipment she had acquired that week to Su Xing.

Then she said

"Su Xing, do you know about the recent major event in the Kyoto business world? The Lingyun Commerce Guild, due to poor management, has started selling off its assets in large quantities, especially low-rank equipment. Do you have any plans for acquisition?"

Su Xing had anticipated this and nodded, asking directly

"I've heard of the Lingyun Commerce Guild. It barely counts as a first-class commerce guild, but how much cash flow would be needed to acquire these assets?"

Jin Congxue held up two fingers and said

"At least two hundred billion Great Xia Coins! In recent years, the Lingyun Commerce Guild has declined. At its peak, it monopolized a large part of the low-end professional user market in Kyoto, with a market value of trillions. But a starved camel is still bigger than a horse!"

"Although the Lingyun Commerce Guild has fallen, its current asset valuation is still over five hundred billion Great Xia Coins. It's just that due to some issues among the commerce guild's shareholders, they're dumping assets so cheaply!"

"If we could swallow the Lingyun Commerce Guild, I'm confident we can make the Tarot Commerce Association a first-class commerce guild within a year!"

Su Xing nodded, admiring Jin Congxue's business acumen.

A first-class commerce guild had a minimum asset value of over a trillion.

Despite numerous simulations and using the advantages of foresight, Su Xing hadn't been able to make the Tarot Commerce Association a first-class commerce guild even after spending over a decade.

Only a remarkable woman like Jin Congxue, with her business family background, sharp vision, and extensive resources and connections, could make such a bold claim.

Su Xing thought that if Jin Congxue had any talents, she would at least have a purple-level business mogul talent.

Su Xing contemplated and said

"Two hundred billion is still a lot for the Tarot Commerce Association. Right now, it is just a second or third-rate commerce guild with only tens of billions in asset valuation... I'm afraid the commerce guild can't come up with that much money, right?"

Actually, Su Xing had been puzzled during simulations. Even if he made elixirs tirelessly, it would be unrealistic to gather two hundred billion in a short time. How did Jin Congxue manage to acquire the Lingyun Commerce Guild?

Jin Congxue patted her chest and rolled her eyes, saying

"Su Xing, you really don't know anything about the business world! Even for my Jin Merchant Guild, coming up with two hundred billion in cash flow is tough. Normally, acquisitions are done through asset exchanges or phased acquisitions!"

"The Tarot Society's current assets are thin and can't do asset exchanges, but we can make phased acquisitions! For the first phase, you only need one-tenth of the total capital, which is two hundred billion!"

Su Xing nodded slightly, took out bottles of elixirs from his storage ring, and said

"These are fifteen hundred Nourishing Face Pills, five hundred top-grade Nourishing Face Pills, and one thousand Wound Healing Pills. These are my last reserves. From now on, I'll supply at least fifteen hundred elixirs every week to expedite the acquisition of the Lingyun Commerce Guild."

Jin Congxue was stunned seeing Su Xing take out so many elixirs at once.

The elixirs in Su Xing's hand alone were worth thirty-five billion Great Xia Coins!

And Su Xing mentioned he could supply fifteen hundred elixirs weekly, worth at least fifteen billion each week.

"Goodness, you're practically a walking money printer!"

Jin Congxue was shocked, then said

"I initially aimed for us to acquire the Lingyun Commerce Guild's equipment trading assets. But seeing your earnings, we can fully swallow the whole Lingyun Commerce Guild!"

Seeing Jin Congxue so excited, Su Xing smiled and nodded, but he hesitated and said

"But thirty-five billion as initial funds may not be enough for the acquisition, and it's not wise to use elixirs directly for acquiring the Lingyun Commerce Guild..."

Upon hearing Su Xing's words, Jin Congxue chuckled and said

"Did you forget who I am? The eldest lady of the Jin Merchant Guild! We've got some clout! Of course, we won't trade directly with elixirs. I'll first use these elixirs to secure three or four billion through the Jin Merchant Guild!"

"Then, using my identity as the Jin Merchant Guild's heiress to negotiate the acquisition, with the Jin Merchant Guild as a guarantor! With this reputation, the initial tens of billions of funds are minimal, but as long as you can provide batches of funds each month, we can complete the acquisition within half a year!"

Su Xing felt deeply touched.

He finally understood how Jin Congxue managed to acquire the Lingyun Commerce Guild within a year in the simulations, having the top-tier Jin Merchant Guild as a guarantor gave the Lingyun Commerce Guild confidence.

"Jin Congxue is truly my benefactor. Without her, the development of the Tarot Society would have been much slower..."
