Chapter 31: A Brilliant Idea, Refined Elixirs?

Upon hearing this, Su Xing nodded in agreement.

Despite the mutually beneficial situation, Jin Congxue had indeed assisted him significantly in this matter, going above and beyond in her help.

From his pocket, Su Xing retrieved several Beautification Pills and stated, "These are the premium version of the 'Affluent Lady's Bliss Elixir,' with an efficacy thirty percent higher than before and the capability to last for three months. Consider it a gift for you!"

Upon hearing this, Jin Congxue accepted the elixirs with sparkling eyes but remarked, "This little thing isn't enough to compensate me... How about you treat me to a grand dinner tonight?"

Su Xing, amused by her request, thought Jin Congxue had some conditions in mind, but it turned out to be a dinner invitation!

Naturally, Su Xing wouldn't refuse and replied, "I couldn't be more willing!"

The next day, Su Xing returned to the dorm feeling refreshed.

He had already delivered fifty Beautification Pills to Jin Congxue, who assured him that the pills would be auctioned off within a week.

Each of these fifty Beautification Pills was priced at a minimum of fifty million Daxia coins!

As a result, Jin Congxue paid Su Xing an initial deposit of twenty million Daxia coins.

Rather than directly requesting money, Su Xing purchased white-grade equipment worth twenty million Daxia coins from the Jin Trading Company.

Twenty-two thousand pieces of white-grade equipment amounted to over 130,000 modeling points!

This considerably replenished Su Xing's previously insufficient modeling points.

On the seventeenth of December, in the afternoon, Su Xing selected a simulation in the dormitory.

"Commence simulation!"

[Consuming 1500 energy points. Remaining energy: 143,000 points. No remaining simulation attempts.]

"Initiate the simulation!"

[Drawing a green-grade talent requires 1000 energy points. Confirming selection?]

"Select the green-grade talent!"

"Congratulations! You've acquired the 'A Stroke of Genius' talent!"

'A Stroke of Genius': A green-grade talent enhancing your mental agility. When faced with difficulties, you occasionally experience a flash of inspiration to solve problems.

Seeing this newly acquired green-grade talent, Su Xing's eyes brightened.

A stroke of genius? This talent evidently pertains to insights! Perhaps, when encountering difficulties in alchemy, he could swiftly break through with this talent?

After acquiring the talent, Su Xing didn't rush into another simulation but instead contemplated the simulation's objective.

Clearly, the 'A Stroke of Genius' talent would assist significantly in alchemy practice.

Thus, Su Xing intended to focus his energy primarily on alchemy during this simulation.

"Hoping to elevate alchemy from basic understanding to an introductory level."

Su Xing gazed at the simulation interface.

"Within the dormitory, while no one was around, you entered your personal Spirit Field space."

"You spent three days refining a total of five low-grade Beautification Pills and ten Rejuvenation Pills."

"Anticipating the upcoming trade next week, you proactively prepared the Beautification Pills and then attempted to learn the concoction of a new elixir."

"You set your sights on a concoction called the Transformation Elixir, capable of altering one's appearance, yet it's merely a mediocre elixir with easily accessible ingredients."

"After a few more days, you received the final payment from Jin Congxue for the Beautification Pills, totaling a substantial eighty million! With this, you purchased sufficient raw materials for concocting hundreds of Transformation Elixirs, as well as materials for prolonged use of Beautification Pills."

Su Xing paused momentarily, astonished. Eighty million final payment? Added to the previous twenty million... does this mean every Beautification Pill was sold for a whopping two million each? This price significantly exceeded his previous rates!

Continuing the simulation...

"Six months later, leveraging your accumulated alchemy expertise, you've successfully mastered the concoction of the Transformation Elixir at a proficient level. Even formidable experts would struggle to discern your true appearance."

"You've now mastered four mediocre-grade elixirs but still struggle with the Liquefying Elixir."

"After a year, you've also learned a mediocre-grade Healing Elixir and elevated your Energy Gathering Powder mastery to the highest level."

"One day, Wang Qingxuan sought you out and revealed her desire to join a mysterious organization. However, in this simulation, you prefer not to entangle yourself too deeply with the Descending Cloud Sect and feign ignorance."

"The following night, Wang Qingxuan dropped out of school, leading you to speculate that she must have joined the Descending Cloud Sect."

"Focused on alchemy, and with your weekly sale of over fifty Beautification Pills, you aren't short on funds and can purchase numerous ordinary medicinal materials."

"Balancing your alchemical pursuits, you also strive for spiritual enhancement. While your Qi Cultivation remains at the peak Foundation Establishment level, your Body Refinement has surged to the Triple Bone Tempering stage."

"You dedicate an hour each day tending to the spiritual herbs in your field and nurturing the Spirit Valley."

"In the third year, within these two years, you've consecutively learned the Breath Sealing Elixir, the Mighty Force Pellet, and the Swift Elixir, all mediocre-grade elixirs, mastering them at the highest level."

"At this point, you've mastered seven mediocre-grade elixirs and recently made initial progress in Liquefying Elixir's concoction during the last simulation."

"Planning for seclusion, you've informed Jin Congxue that you'll be closed off for half a year, delivered the reserved Beautification Pills, and took out some long-cultivated spiritual herbs from your Spirit Field."

"After preparing everything, you entered your Spirit Field space and began focusing on concocting the pre-prepared Liquefying Elixir materials."

"In the first month, you attempted twenty batches of the Liquefying Elixir, all resulting in duds."

"In the second month, your proficiency improved, managing twenty-three batches, with two successful ones. However, you hesitated to consume them, recalling your death from an exploding body caused by the elixir in a previous simulation."

"In the third month, you brewed twenty-four batches, with four successes. Yet, you refrained from ingesting them."

"In the fourth month, you crafted twenty-five batches, achieving six successes. Your speed in elixir-making escalated, almost producing one batch every day."

"In the fifth month, you completed twenty batches, resulting in eight successes. You began emphasizing not just quantity but quality, enhancing your comprehension of the Liquefying Elixir."

"In the sixth month, experiencing a stroke of genius, you vaguely comprehended some crucial aspects of the Liquefying Elixir concoction. Concocting ten batches led to nine successes."

"You gathered all the successful elixirs from the past six months, hoping to identify potential issues."

"For three days and nights, you scrutinized dozens of Liquefying Elixirs before noticing that the ones from the last two months appeared slightly more refined."

Su Xing couldn't help but roll his eyes at this.

"Spent three days and nights observing for a slightly more refined appearance? Am I truly this daft?"

"Suddenly, you had a stroke of genius, suspecting that the potent effect of the Liquefying Elixir causing your body to explode might be due to the age of the herbal ingredients."
