Chapter 90: Chapter 90 - Sudden Wealth, 8 Million Energy! (Seeking First Subscription, Fifth Update)
Under the influence of his affinity for plants talent, the new batch of Spirit Grains in the Spirit Field Blessed Land was almost ready for harvest.
Su Xing, for once, didn't rush to refine elixirs; instead, he opened up a new piece of farmland.
The climate within the Spirit Field Blessed Land was pleasant, making it very suitable for the growth of spirit plants, so they could be planted at any time.
Su Xing had previously planted Spirit Grains on a five-acre plot of the Spirit Field, producing so much Spirit Grain that he couldn't finish it all.
But now, with his high metabolism talent, Su Xing had to consider planting more Spirit Grains; otherwise, it wouldn't be enough to eat at all!
Initially, it was estimated that he would need to expand the Spirit Grain planting area to ten acres to be able to eat enough to satiate his giant appetite.
"And those Spirit Chickens, over a hundred of them just aren't enough for me to eat! Eating one a day will quickly finish them... at least a few hundred would be enough."
As he spoke, Su Xing grabbed a plump rooster from the chicken coop, picked some garlic, and cooked a delicious braised chicken dish.
After quickly finishing the meal, Su Xing had eaten twenty pounds of Spirit Rice, an entire chicken, plus a few stir-fried vegetables to barely feel full.
After eating his fill, Su Xing sat cross-legged, recovering the Spiritual Power within his body while sensing the changes in his physical body.
Sure enough, the high metabolism talent started to work; under the awareness of his Divine Sense, Su Xing could feel weak strands of energy nourishing his physical body.
After a while, Su Xing's Spiritual Power was fully restored, and he began to busy himself with farming and opening up new land.
"It's time to plant the Gathering Spirit Flowers; the sooner they're planted, the sooner I can enjoy them!"
Su Xing also chose a feng shui treasure land for the three precious Gathering Spirit Flowers and planted them.
After the planting was done, Su Xing started his usual alchemy practice.
For the next week, Su Xing had to refine elixirs for at least eight hours a day; because of his multi-tasking talent, Su Xing could refine two furnaces of elixirs simultaneously.
This directly doubled Su Xing's alchemy speed.
But at the same time, Su Xing also discovered a problem: casting the Li Fire Technique consumed too much Spiritual Power, and even second-tier Alien Metal couldn't withstand the high temperatures of the Li Fire Technique for long.
Fortunately, Su Xing's mastery of the Li Fire Technique was sufficient to adjust the temperature of the fire at any time.
After several attempts, Su Xing maintained the Li Fire at an appropriate temperature, allowing him to refine elixirs quickly without consuming too much Spiritual Power, and without causing significant damage to the second-tier Alien Metal pill furnace.
However, this was only achievable when refining inferior elixirs; when refining intermediate elixirs, higher temperatures were needed, and by then, the second-tier Alien Metal pill furnace couldn't withstand it.
Within a week, Su Xing had refined a total of five thousand Nourishing Face Pills and healing elixirs, even while dividing his attention to farming and flower planting; otherwise, his alchemy speed would have been even faster.
That day, Su Xing placed the five thousand elixirs he had refined into his storage ring and went to the villa to meet Jin Congxue.
"Hey, you changed your hairstyle? Why did you get a princess cut?"
Su Xing asked Jin Congxue, a bit surprised.
Jin Congxue giggled, played with her hair, and said: "How does it look, isn't my new hairstyle nice?"
Su Xing nodded slightly upon hearing this; Jin Congxue already had a good temperament, and paired with her princess cut hairstyle, she exuded a subtle queenly vibe.
"Hehe, I've successfully advanced to a Grandmaster Level profession user! And on top of that, the first batch of goods from Lingyun Commerce Guild has arrived, a double happiness!"
Jin Congxue seemed to be in a very good mood.
Su Xing was also a bit surprised upon hearing this; according to the original timeline, Jin Congxue's talent wasn't great, and she should have only broken through to the Grandmaster Level around the age of forty.
But now, before turning thirty, she had broken through to the Grandmaster Level profession user; this was extraordinary talent.
"It seems that as time goes on, my actions are gradually altering the real world..."
Su Xing thought to himself. During this time, he had given Jin Congxue quite a few low-grade Essence-Nourishing Pills, and he occasionally sent her some Spirit Rice and eggs, and even brought a hen to Jin Congxue.
These undoubtedly helped increase Jin Congxue's strength significantly.
"The real world has already started to change; I must be more careful and cautious so as not to expose myself..."
Su Xing became even more cautious in his mind.
After quickly finishing a meal—a whole table of food that Su Xing alone could almost eat up, thanks to his high metabolism talent—and feeling great, Jin Congxue had already gotten used to Su Xing's enormous appetite. After the meal, Su Xing handed over the five thousand elixirs he had prepared in advance to Jin Congxue.
Jin Congxue, in turn, handed Su Xing two storage rings, saying somewhat proudly:
"The first batch of industries from Lingyun Commerce Guild has basically been received, and their previously stocked goods have also been packaged and sold to us."
"Boss, take a look at the first batch of goods; see if they meet your standards?"
There was a hint of playfulness in Jin Congxue's tone.
Upon hearing this, Su Xing eagerly opened the storage rings and was stunned by the mountain of equipment inside; one storage ring wasn't enough; two storage rings were needed to hold it all.
"Goodness, Miss... how many pieces of equipment are in this batch?"
Su Xing asked in disbelief.
Jin Congxue proudly said: "A total of one and a half million white-grade equipment pieces, these are the goods Lingyun Commerce Guild accumulated last year. How about it, impressive right? Moreover, this isn't even all of it! There are still plenty of goods in the various branches of Lingyun Commerce Guild that haven't been accounted for.
If we gather everything, there should be another one to two million pieces of equipment!"
