After some explanation, Su Xing realized that he had made a big mistake and was immediately embarrassed.

So he quickly changed the subject and said, "Ahem, Sister Xue, how is the Tarot Club's business going recently? Do you need my help with anything?"

As soon as the serious matter was mentioned, Jin Congxue's attention was instantly drawn away.

"The Tarot Club's business has been good recently... According to your instructions, I will focus more manpower on the mining of white equipment and exotic metals..."

After saying this, Jin Congxue paused and said with some sorrow:

"However, there are thousands of employees just to mine the six alien metal copies... This is a considerable amount of income every month..."

"The main source of income for our Chamber of Commerce is still the beauty pills. Nowadays, the market for beauty pills has basically reached saturation, and the sales of beauty pills are not as good as before, so the capital turnover is a little insufficient..."

Su Xing nodded slightly after hearing this.

He has to provide thousands of beauty pills every week, which means 20,000 to 30,000 pills a month.

Adding a beauty pill can ensure your appearance for one to three months.

Some wealthy women even stockpile dozens of beauty pills. The market is indeed a bit saturated.

After thinking for a while, Su Xing said:

"Here, I can also refine a high-end beauty pill that can keep your appearance young for a year or even three years!"

"Not only can you maintain your appearance, but you can even look ten years younger! I will give you the elixir later, and you should be able to earn a lot of money..."

What he refined before waking up was always a low-end version of the beauty pill.

The one used is ordinary ginseng.

But now, a large number of the ten-year-old spiritual ginseng in the awakening spiritual field have matured. If they are used to refine, they will be enough to refine a real beauty pill.

The efficacy of the medicine is much higher than the low-end version. It is like a magical medicine for mortals! After hearing this, Jin Congxue's eyes lit up slightly, and he was obviously very interested.

"Ten years younger... the appearance will last for one to three years?"

"Hiss~ If there really is such a pill, it would be extremely valuable, and the price would be ten or even dozens of times higher!"

"However... we can no longer sell this high-quality beauty pill on a large scale like before. We need to use hunger marketing!"

Jin Congxue is indeed a business woman. She quickly developed several plans for the sale of beauty pills.

Su Xing was very satisfied when he saw this. With Jin Congxue's help, Su Xing was confident about the development of the Tarot Club.

Jin Congxue thought for a moment and then said, "Boss, I have recently thought about expanding overseas markets... The United States, Huangdao, and the other six countries and twelve regions will surely be very fond of the beauty pills!"

“The domestic market is saturated, but there is still a huge blue ocean in the international market!”

Su Xing nodded slightly after hearing this and said, "I'll leave these matters to you. If you have any questions, just discuss them with me..."

After finishing the business, Su Xing walked around skillfully, explored with his spiritual sense, returned to the dormitory, and entered the spiritual field blessed land.

The goods for the new week were exchanged for simulated energy, which was worth more than 90 million.

In this way, Su Xing's energy returned to the level of 150 million.

On the afternoon of September 9, 2024, in the new era, Su Xing started a new round of simulation on time.

"Start simulation!"

[Ding! This simulation consumed 5200 energy points, the remaining energy is 150.16 million points, and there are no remaining simulation times. ]

[Simulation starts! ]

[It costs 10,000 energy points to extract blue talent, and 100,000 energy points to extract purple talent. Do you want to extract? ]

"Extract purple talent!"

Su Xing muttered to himself.

[Ding, congratulations on obtaining the purple talent, I am not the Rain God! ]

[I'm Not the Rain God]: Purple talent. Whenever you sing loudly and the number of onlookers exceeds 10,000, the probability of rainfall in the area within seven days is 100%. (Great! Come to the desert to hold a concert!)

Su Xing curled his lips after seeing the new talent and muttered:

"Oh my goodness, another conceptual talent? A talent that forces rainmaking... But, this thing doesn't seem to be of much use!"

Su Xing shook his head slightly. For a moment, he couldn't think of a suitable usage scenario for this talent.

Look at the simulation panel.

[In Lingtian Cave, you realize that you are simulating. ]

[You stayed in Kyoto for a few days, and then set off to the northern border area of ​​Daxia.]

[You disguise yourself and conceal your breath, then use the technique of shielding yourself from the heavens, and fly with your sword at an altitude of tens of thousands of meters.]

[Half an hour later, you arrived in Northwest Province, Mai City. ]

[According to the information in your memory, you quickly found a heavily guarded dungeon, the Red Lotus Devil's Cave! ]

[You cast a spell and successfully avoided the guards and entered the Red Lotus Demon Cave instance.]

Su Xing saw this and nodded slightly, saying, "During the previous simulation, I found a small high-level metal mining area in this Red Lotus Demon Cave dungeon..."

"I wonder how much exotic metal is contained in this copy?"

Su Xing seemed to be lost in thought. His simulation energy was seriously insufficient at the moment. If he could not obtain simulation energy through new means.

The energy supply of less than 100 million in that week was definitely not enough for Su Xing to practice next.

Therefore, Su Xing set his sights on the Red Lotus Demon Cave copy that he had discovered before.

Perhaps this mining area copy will give Su Xing a big surprise?

However, to be on the safe side, Su Xing plans to simulate this event in advance to see if there are any risks.

Thinking of this, Su Xing silently said:

“Use immersive simulation features for 24 hours!”

[Ding, you successfully used the immersive simulation, spending 2.4 million energy points, and the remaining energy is 147.66 million points. ]

As the simulator prompt sounded, Su Xing's vision changed.

The next second, Su Xing appeared in an unfamiliar environment.

The temperature in the air suddenly rose by more than fifty degrees, reaching a high temperature of nearly eighty degrees Celsius.

Su Xing frowned slightly, feeling the heat wave in the air.

Of course, this temperature has no effect on Su Xing.

"Is this the Red Lotus Devil's Cave dungeon?"

Su Xing looked around. He saw red rocks all around due to the high temperature. His hands were still a little hot when he placed them on them.

The space inside the cave was not big, barely enough for Su Xing to stay alone.

Su Xing looked forward and saw a bottomless cave under his feet, which seemed to point directly to the center of the earth.

"According to the description in the previous simulation text... there should be a Flame Demon deep in this Red Lotus Demon Cave instance. If we defeat him and go deeper... we will find the exotic metal mining area."

Su Xing seemed to be thinking about something. He used immersive simulation exploration this time just to rehearse for future exploration in the real world.

Su Xing no longer hesitated. With an idea in his mind, he used the Yuanli armor and the protective qi at the same time to protect Su Xing.

"Then... let's explore deeper..."

Su Xing mobilized his spiritual power and flew quickly towards the cave under his feet.

The deeper you go into the cave, the higher the temperature becomes.

About ten minutes later, Su Xing estimated that he had reached a depth of several dozen kilometers underground.

At this moment, the temperature around was getting higher and higher, rising from the original eighty or ninety degrees to over five hundred degrees.

"This Red Lotus Demon Cave is really bottomless..."

Su Xing frowned slightly, and continued to explore deeper.

More than an hour passed like this, and Su Xing estimated that he was at least several hundred kilometers away from the ground.

At this time, it was already dark here, with a high temperature of up to one or two thousand degrees Celsius. Ordinary creatures could not survive here at all.

Along the way, Su Xing actually encountered some special monsters that lived in such extreme high temperatures.

Most of these monsters were at the Grandmaster level, and Su Xing only needed to slightly stimulate their vitality to kill them easily.

"We are already several hundred kilometers from the ground... How deep is this Red Lotus Demon Cave?"

Su Xing sighed, could it be that this demon cave is a thousand kilometers away from the ground? Su Xing's speed was getting faster and faster, and he killed all the ordinary monsters he encountered along the way.

It was not until several hours later that Su Xing felt that the space was becoming more and more spacious, and the temperature around him reached an astonishing three thousand degrees Celsius.

A faint light came from the special ore on the stone wall.

Su Xing slowed down a little, and his spiritual awareness was released like a tide.

Sure enough, thousands of meters away, he sensed a monster with an extremely powerful aura.

"So... is that the Flame Demon?"

Su Xing was stunned for a moment.

In his spiritual perception, the appearance of this fire demon was somewhat similar to the devil of hell in Western mythology.

It has two horns on its head, its body is made of magma, and there are two balls of flame in its eye sockets.

He was ten meters tall and exuded an evil aura.

"Judging from the aura... this Flame Demon is indeed at the peak of the Martial Emperor level..."

Su Xing frowned slightly. He felt that the environment of the Red Lotus Demon Cave dungeon was too harsh for ordinary professionals.

"Thousands of degrees of high temperature, low oxygen environment... In such a place, even a master-level professional may not be able to survive..."

Su Xing had a bad feeling.

Low-level professionals cannot enter such a harsh environment, which also means that Su Xing cannot hire a large number of people to mine ore.

We can't ask a king-level expert to mine the ore, right?

This... seems a little unrealistic.

"Well... let's deal with this Fire Demon first, and then think of a way to mine the exotic metal ore..."

Su Xing's heart moved, and he flew towards the fire demon quickly.

“Roar, roar, roar~”

As if sensing Su Xing's rapidly approaching aura, the Flame Demon roared at Su Xing loudly, beating his chest with both hands, as if declaring his ownership of the territory...

However! Su Xing acted as if he didn't see it. After quickly approaching the Flame Demon, he directly wrapped his Yuanli around his fists.

There was no frills! A terrifying punch was thrown! Boom! A million tons of force directly punched the Fire Demon's chest.

The two blazing flames in the Flame Demon's eye sockets slowly died out...

With just one punch, the Flame Demon, who was at the peak of Martial Emperor status, was killed!

“Huh~”

The corners of Su Xing's mouth rose slightly, and then his spiritual sense quickly spread out, trying to check if there were any hidden enemies around.

After making sure there were no enemies, Su Xing came to the Flame Demon's lair and indeed found a cave several feet wide and bottomless.

"This cave... should lead to the magma pool, right?"

Su Xing murmured.

He had bathed in this magma pool in a previous simulation, hoping to break the limit, but unfortunately he failed.

And that exotic metal mining area is near the magma pool.

Su Xing's heart moved and he walked towards the lava cave.

As Su Xing approached the magma layer, the surrounding temperature rose sharply.

Soon it soared to over 5,000 degrees Celsius.

Su Xing frowned even more tightly. With such high temperature, professionals below the King level would not be able to survive.

Soon, Su Xing arrived at the magma layer.

This is a relatively open, flat rocky area.

In front of you is a magma pool with hot steam coming out, and next to the magma pool are many black rocks.

Mixed among the rocks are some special red minerals.

It was actually a foreign metal!

Su Xing slowly approached the rock, stretched out his hand to touch it, frowned slightly and said:

"This exotic metal is actually mixed with other ores... Doesn't this mean that it needs to be refined before it can become pure exotic metal?"

Su Xing secretly thought that he had miscalculated.

In this huge rock several meters high, the proportion of the red alien metal is probably only three to five percent.

If I want to purify it into a different metal, I don’t know how long it will take...

Su Xing was a little disappointed. The exotic metal ore needed to be refined and purified before it could be obtained in its entirety.

Professionals below the King level cannot enter the depths of this devil's cave, and are therefore unable to refine and purify the exotic metals.

Things... seem to have reached an unsolvable situation.

"Wait... who said it needs to be purified before it can be converted into simulated energy?"

Su Xing suddenly woke up.

His simulator absorbs all substances containing energy, not just pure foreign metals.

This means that Su Xing can completely absorb the alien metal belt and its associated rocks!

"Yes! I can just absorb this entire piece of rock directly... no need to refine it!"

"It's just that I'm in a simulation right now, and I can't use the simulator's abilities..."

"But we can first mine out all these ores containing exotic metals!"

Su Xing did what he said, then took out the Mo Bing Sword, attached the Yuan Li to it, and began to try mining.

The Mo Bing Sword cut through these huge rocks like cutting tofu.

Su Xing cut them into standard cubes of ore that were one meter long, wide, and high each, and put them into the Lingtian Cave.

Each piece of ore is exactly one cubic meter.

After working for more than ten hours, Su Xing successfully dug up nearly one thousand cubic meters of ore, all of which were stored in the Lingtian Cave.

"Next, we just need to see how much energy this batch of rocks mixed with foreign metals is worth..."

Su Xing's mouth corners slightly raised.

As for the detection method, it is very simple, although in the simulation, Su Xing cannot use the function of absorbing matter and converting it into energy.

But after the simulation, Su Xing only needed to see how much energy this batch of ore was worth, and then deduct the difference earned by the unscrupulous middlemen, and that would be the value of the energy contained in this batch of ore.

Soon, the simulation time ended and Su woke up and returned to the real world.

"A full thousand cubic meters of ore mixed with exotic metals should be worth a lot of energy, right?"

Su Xing stroked his chin and muttered.

Look at the simulation panel.

[You obtained a total of 1,000 cubic meters of ore mixed with exotic metals in the Red Lotus Demon Cave.]

[The next day, you left the Red Lotus Devil's Cave dungeon and returned to Kyoto.]

[In the following time, you will continue to refine pills and practice sword-controlling techniques every day.]

[Until a month later, you set off for Shuangqing City.]

[You disguised your appearance and concealed your breath, and shielded your own divine secrets, so that Zong Laogou could not sense the threat you posed to him.]

[You suppressed your spiritual consciousness and recklessly swept through Shuangqing City, attempting to lure out Zong Laogou.]

【Finally, three days later, Zong Laogou found you.】

"I'm finally here, Mr. Zong! Before I kill you in the real world, I still have to simulate it first..."

Su Xing was moved when he saw this, and silently said again: "Use the immersive simulation function, which will last for one hour!"

[Ding, you successfully used the immersive simulation, spending 100,000 energy points, and the remaining energy is 147,560,000 points. ]

The reason why Su Xing used the immersive simulation function again was naturally because he wanted to kill Zong Lao Gou.

In order to kill Zong Lao Gou in reality, Su Xing prepared to practice in simulation for the sake of caution.

The next second, the environment in front of Su Xing changed and he appeared in a wilderness.

"Senior! May I ask where you are from?"

Behind Su Xing, an old man in a black robe said in a hoarse voice.

There was also respect for Su Xing in his tone.

"This... is Zong Laogou?"

Su Xing's heart moved and he looked at Zong Lao Gou.

Zong Laogou looks ordinary, just like an ordinary old man.

But Su Xing could tell at a glance that this guy was also in disguise.

"Oh? Are you asking me where I come from?"

Su Xing did not give a direct answer, but asked back.

Zong Laogou was suddenly startled, as if he sensed something bad in Su Xing's tone.

But the fortune-telling technique he had relied on for many years did not give him any warning.

Zong Laogou felt relieved, so he plucked up the courage to say:

"Senior, I guess after the great destruction of the world... you also fell asleep for a long time. You are not very familiar with this world, right?"

"I woke up a hundred or two hundred years earlier than you... I can be your guide!"

Zong Laogou smiled and his tone became more respectful.

Because in Zong Laogou's eyes, Su Xing is now a cultivator with extremely powerful spiritual consciousness in the Return to Void Realm! Seeing Zong Laogou's humble appearance, Su Xing smiled instead.

The next second, he suddenly jumped up!

The Yuan force wrapped around his fists, and millions of tons of power directly hit Zong Laogou's body.

Boom! Before Zong Laogou died, there was still a look of astonishment on his face.

He seemed to not understand why Su Xing suddenly took action, nor did he understand why he did not send out an early warning based on his thousand-year-old Bagua fortune-telling technique.

Zong Laogou's body exploded on the spot and turned into a blood mist.

And Su Xing also picked up Zong Laogou's storage magic weapon.

Then Zong Laogou's soul left his body and he fled quickly for his life.

But he was trapped by Su Xing using the Fire Separation Technique.

Before dying, Zong Laogou's spirit was still in disbelief and said: "Senior, we have never met before and have no grudges against each other... Why did you kill me?"

After hearing this, Su Xing sneered and said:

"Haha, you don't know me...but I have known you for a long time!"

After saying that, Su Xing didn't say anything more and directly crushed Zong Laogou's soul.

At this point, Zong Laogou's soul was destroyed and he completely disappeared from this world.

"Things...seem to be going too smoothly!"

Su Xing frowned slightly, opened the storage device, and only heaved a sigh of relief after confirming that all of Zong Laogou's treasures were inside.

"So, was Zong Laogou really killed so easily by me?"

Su Xing was still a little sluggish.

Half a year ago, Zong Laogou was still an insurmountable mountain for Su Xing.

He tortured Su Xing and almost turned him into a human pill.

But now, Su Xing killed Zong Laogou instantly with just one punch!

This is the difference brought about by absolute strength! "Indeed, it went too smoothly..."

Su Xing has always been cautious and always feels that there is a trap waiting for him.

But he immediately woke up and shook his head.

"That's right. I've been thinking about this old dog for a while now... I've simulated this dozens of times. I've calculated it intentionally, so isn't he doomed to die?"

Su Xing summarized.

This time, he won by being deliberate and catching the opponent by surprise.

Although Zong Laogou has reached the peak of the spiritual realm, the habits he has developed over thousands of years have made him overly trust his own fortune-telling skills to warn of crises.

But he met Su Xing, a fool who had been planning to kill him for hundreds of years (in the simulator).

He even made his fortune-telling technique of Bagua ineffective, and only then was he finally killed.

After killing the old dog of the clan, Su Xing did not stay for long, but prepared to fly away on his sword.

About half an hour later, Su Xing in the sky suddenly stopped and flew towards a deep mountain.

At this time, the surroundings were quiet, with only bursts of bird calls coming from the mountains.

But Su Xing frowned and said loudly to the empty surroundings: "Since you are here, why don't you show yourself?"
