After listening to this, Jin Congxue nodded and said:

"The output of first-order exotic metals is much higher, and the price is much cheaper. The market price is only one-tenth of second-order exotic metals. The average price per kilogram is about 5,000 yuan, and the cost price is 4,000 yuan per kilogram."

After saying that, Jin Congxue handed over a palm-sized piece of metal.

Su Xing took the first-level exotic metal and clearly felt that it was much lighter.

After measuring the energy with a simulator, it was found that this 100-kilogram piece of exotic metal contained 2,000 points of simulated energy.

If calculated this way, the output of first-level alien metal energy is basically 200 yuan per point of simulated energy.

Su Xing thought about it and decided that, for now, white-quality equipment was still the lowest-cost way to obtain energy, but the cost of exotic metals was not much different, and it was more convenient to purchase a large amount of exotic metals at one time.

Su Xing quickly made a decision in his mind. He would still focus on purchasing white quality equipment, and at the same time purchase a small amount of exotic metals. When more energy is needed in the future, perhaps the exotic metals can replace it.

So Su Xing said:

"Xue'er, this second-level exotic metal should be enough for me to build an alchemy furnace, but I'm afraid it will be burned out in a short time... It would be best if I could have a third-level exotic metal!"

After listening to this, Jin Congxue thought for a moment and said, "Level 3 alien metal is the main material for creating epic equipment. It is too precious and can only be seen at auctions, and the price is very high... I will help you keep an eye out for information in this regard later."

"If you need it, I have many channels to obtain first- and second-order exotic metals."

After hearing this, Su Xing nodded helplessly and said:

"In that case, let's use the second-level exotic metal to build the alchemy furnace. If I remember correctly, Jin's Company has several casting masters who can build it. I'll have to trouble you..."

Jin Congxue shook his head slightly to indicate that it was just a piece of cake. Su Xing quickly drew a blueprint based on the appearance of the alchemy furnace he had been using and asked Jin Congxue to help him build two new alchemy furnaces.

After dinner, the two flirted for a while, and Su Xing returned to school.

Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, Su Xing entered the Lingtian blessed land.

First, the newly acquired 120,000 pieces of white-quality equipment were exchanged for energy, which provided a total of 630,000 energy points for Su Xing. Taking into account the remaining nearly 2 million points before, Su Xing's energy reached 2.63 million points.

On the afternoon of February 18, 2024, in the new era, Su Xing started his 24th simulation on time.

"Start simulation!"

Su Xing muttered to himself.

[Ding! This time, 2400 energy points were consumed, and the remaining energy points are 2,633,333 points. There are no simulation times left.]

[Simulation starts! ]

[It costs 100 energy points to extract white talent, 1000 energy points to extract green talent, and 10,000 energy points to extract blue talent. Do you want to extract? ]

"Extract blue quality talent!"

Su Xing was eager to extract higher-level talent qualities, such as purple, but the problem was that he didn't have enough assets, and the simulator didn't have this option at all! [Ding, congratulations on obtaining the blue talent, mastery of Buddhism! ]

[Mastery of Buddhism]: You have unique wisdom. If you embark on the path of Buddhist practice and cut off the seven emotions and six desires, you may become a true Buddha in the world.

When Su Xing saw the newly drawn blue talent, black lines suddenly appeared on his forehead.

Su Xing sighed. Although he knew that there were Buddhist practitioners among the monks, abandoning the seven emotions and six desires and not drinking alcohol and eating meat were really not to his liking.

Su Xing would rather be an independent swordsman than a bald monk.

After sighing, Su Xing looked at the simulation panel.

[In the blessed land of Lingtian, you realize that you are being simulated. ]

[You thought of your new talent, so you quickly took out a mirror and took a look at your hair.]

[Fortunately, your hairstyle is still flowing. It seems that this talent will not affect your appearance. ]

[You first took out the Shennong Spiritual Cultivation Technique, found the seeds of the Spiritual Gathering Flower, planted it, and then took good care of it every day.]

[In the next week, you will continue to refine pills every day and improve your cultivation. At this time, the spiritual energy in the spiritual field is still abundant, enough for your daily cultivation.]

[A week later, Jin Congxue handed you the two alchemy furnaces he had prepared. You were very excited and couldn't wait to try out the refining effects.]

[When you first tried to multitask, you made many mistakes. The speed of refining two furnaces of pills at the same time was not even as fast as the previous one. ]

[But after trying for a month, your speed in refining pills increased rapidly.]

[Half a year later, you are able to refine two furnaces of elixirs at the same time without any impact. You find that there is a new skill called "Multitasking" on your panel, which makes you a little excited.]

[One day, Wang Qingxuan found you, and one night later, you joined the Advent Church.]

[In the second year, after being an ordinary member for three months, you had gained the trust of the Advent Church, so you deliberately missed out on your alchemy skills, which attracted the attention of the Shadow Protector.]

[You have been appreciated by the Shadow Guardian. She promised that as long as you refine pills for the sect every month, you will become an elder in a year.]

[You looked at Shadow Protector's loyal appearance, but you already rolled your eyes in your heart. This little girl is pretending to be a real person. No wonder no one in the entire Advent Church has ever doubted her.]

[However, you did not expose her directly, but continued to refine the elixir. ]

[Because you have mastered the skill of multitasking, you can refine two furnaces of elixirs at the same time, and your elixir refining efficiency has soared. At your speed, you can refine more than 200 Viscera Refining Pills or Nourishing Essence Pills every day.]

[It's a pity that Shadow Guardian only gives you more than 300 medicinal herbs every month. You only spend half a month at most to refine more than 3,000 pills. After deducting 90% of the price difference, you provide more than 300 inferior Yangyuan Pills to the sect every month.]

[You can use the remaining time to improve your cultivation. ]

[In the third year, your cultivation has become more and more advanced. You feel that you are not far from the second stage of the Nascent Soul Stage. But the bad news is that the spiritual energy in the spiritual field has become much thinner. You estimate that the remaining spiritual energy is only enough for you to cultivate to the third or fourth stage of the Nascent Soul Stage.]

[Fortunately, the Soul Gathering Flowers you planted earlier have matured, and all three of them are alive. You carefully observed the area around the Soul Gathering Flowers, and indeed felt that the concentration of spiritual energy around the flowers was much higher.]

[You finally confirmed that the Soul Gathering Flowers can indeed produce spiritual energy, but with only three Soul Gathering Flowers, the effect of improving spiritual energy is really unsatisfactory. You estimate that you need to plant at least dozens of Soul Gathering Flowers to ensure the balance of spiritual energy income and expenditure in the spiritual field.]

[Unfortunately, there is little record of the reproduction of the Spirit Gathering Flower in Shennong's Spiritual Cultivation Technique. You can only give up this method of abundant spiritual energy for the time being.]
