Others Level Up, but I Pursue Cultivation!

Chapter  167 Chapter 139: The Pawn of the Descending Sect, Black Dragon Commerce Guild (5k mega chapter)

Having said that, Su Xing handed over a storage ring.

“This storage ring contains two million in cash, as well as some instance dungeon items and equipment. You take them and use them for now!”

Wang Qingxuan hastily shook her head and said,

“No, senior, this is too valuable! I can’t accept it!”

Su Xing simply pushed the storage ring into Wang Qingxuan’s hand.

Two million was truly nothing to the current Su Xing.

What was more precious inside that storage ring was a bottle of low-grade Essence-Nourishing Pills, Organ Refining Pills, as well as a bag of Spirit Rice—those were the truly powerful items that could enhance one’s strength!

“Junior sister, take these items… and remember, do not let anyone know I’ve given these to you!”

Su Xing said earnestly.

After hearing this, Wang Qingxuan nodded obediently, her heart filled with emotion once again.

After comforting Wang Qingxuan, Su Xing sent her back to the dormitory, then made a call to Jin Congxue.

He asked her to help investigate the matter related to the Black Dragon Guild.

After all that, Su Xing stroked his chin and thought,

“Speaking of which, although Qingxuan almost fell astray before… she seems to be a good person.”

“Yet in the future trajectory, she joined the Descending Sect. The huge change… it’s probably stemming from this Black Dragon Guild incident!”

“Could it be that the Black Dragon Guild is connected to the Descending Sect?”

Su Xing fell into deep thought.

In any case, the Black Dragon Guild was no good at all, not even giving out bereavement payments when their professionals died.

Wang Qingxuan’s future path of betraying the Human Race was definitely related to this incident…

“However, what exactly the connection is, let’s wait and see!”

Thought Su Xing as he entered the Spirit Field Blessed Land, beginning another week of alchemy.

In a week, Su Xing skillfully produced six thousand elixirs and even found time to comfort Wang Qingxuan several times.

Until this day, Jin Congxue sent a message to Su Xing.

“The results of the investigation on the Black Dragon Guild you asked me to look into are in, and the situation is somewhat complicated… Also, this week’s goods have arrived; let’s meet at our usual spot!”

Looking at the text from Jin Congxue, Su Xing put away this week’s produced elixirs and immediately rushed to the villa.

In the room, Su Xing saw Jin Congxue, who was carefully dressed up.

Today’s Jin Congxue was going for a girlish style, wearing a blue printed camisole with a clean leather skirt, sexy yet pure.

“Tell me, what is going on with the Black Dragon Guild?”

Su Xing sat confidently at the table, wolfing down food while asking his question.

Jin Congxue looked somewhat serious and nodded before saying,

“According to my investigation, the Black Dragon Guild was established just over a decade ago, but it has grown from a small workshop with just a handful of people into one of the top ten guilds in Kyoto, with a membership exceeding ten thousand!”

“They even have Martial Emperor level powers residing within!”

“This made me even more curious, so I dug deeper and found the Black Dragon Guild is closely related to the Black Dragon Commerce Guild… to put it simply, the Black Dragon Commerce Guild is essentially the Black Dragon Guild’s glove, specifically helping to launder money, as well as to purchase precious items and equipment from the market!”

Pausing briefly, Jin Congxue continued,

“And the Black Dragon Guild, in order to expand, has stopped at nothing!”

“In these past few years, just the death rate of their professionals going into instance dungeons has exceeded thirty percent! Thousands of professionals above the silver level have died or disappeared without any explanation.”

“And the families of those professionals who die on missions have never been given any bereavement payments. There was a big fuss about it, but given the Black Dragon Guild’s significant connections, in the end, nothing came of it.”

Su Xing nodded slightly after listening, which aligned with his previous conjecture.

Jin Congxue, now wearing a smirk, looked at Su Xing and asked,

“Are you asking about this because of your junior sister?”

Caught off guard, Su Xing blurted out, “How did you know?”

Rolling her eyes, Jin Congxue replied,

“You didn’t hide this matter, so it was easy to check!”

“Besides, as for your ambiguous relationship with that Wang Qingxuan… didn’t you think I wouldn’t know?”

Jin Congxue rolled her eyes teasingly.

Su Xing felt his face heat up in embarrassment, getting caught red-handed—this was too socially awkward.

Seeing Su Xing staying silent, Jin Congxue brought up the main topic,

“That little girl Wang Qingxuan is indeed pitiful. I heard her parents died on an instance dungeon mission, and not just her parents. Of the 120 professionals who participated in that mission, none survived, all died!”

“And the bereavement funds were not issued… I also heard that little girl Wang Qingxuan got threatened when she went to claim the bereavement funds.”

Su Xing frowned slightly and questioned,

“Threatened?”

Jin Congxue nodded slightly and added,

“Yes! A young woman alone without an ugly face, bereft of economic support… that person in charge said that if she wanted the bereavement money, she would have to submit to him!”

Su Xing felt a surge of exasperation. This was outright extortion for money and sex!

This Black Dragon Commerce Guild was indeed no good!

Jin Congxue then handed all the detailed information she had investigated to Su Xing.

Later, Jin Congxue started talking about the serious matters.

“I’ve told you everything I know about the Black Dragon Commerce Guild… Oh right, here are the goods for this week!”

“As for the herbs you asked me to find last time, they’ve been located. You’ll have them in as little as seven days, or half a month at most!”

Su Xing nodded slightly and gave her the new week’s batch of elixirs.

After some pleasantries, Su Xing returned to the school and once again entered the Spirit Field Blessed Land.

Chapter  168 Chapter 139 The Pawn of the Descending Sect, Black Dragon Commerce (5k big chapter)_2

Having converted the week’s goods into simulation energy, Su Xing’s energy surged once again, reaching over thirty million!

Thirty million, seemingly a large amount, was actually insufficient for Su Xing’s needs.

“Sigh, it’s simply not enough, I just can’t spend it all!”

“These thirty million energy points are just enough for me to advance from the fourth to the seventh level of the Divine Strength Realm… Now I can barely afford the energy required to upgrade my realm!”

Su Xing sighed, his determination to earn money growing stronger.

On June 3rd of the New Era 2024, Su Xing began a new round of simulation.

“Start simulation!”

[Ding! This simulation consumes 3,900 points of energy, leaving a balance of 30.33 million energy points, with unlimited simulation attempts remaining.]

[Simulation begins!]

[Extracting a green talent costs 1,000 energy points, a blue talent costs 10,000 energy points, and a purple talent costs 100,000 energy points. Do you want to extract?]

“Extract the purple talent!”

Su Xing silently commanded.

[Congratulations, you have obtained the purple talent: Descendant of Shennong!]

“Descendant of Shennong? That name sounds pretty awesome! What kind of talent is it?”

Su Xing’s heart stirred, and he looked toward the simulation panel.

[Descendant of Shennong]: Purple Talent, your affinity with any plant is greatly enhanced, enabling you to easily plant and hasten the maturation of Spirit Plants. The time required for Spirit Plants to reach maturity is significantly reduced, and, at the same time, your resistance to poisons is greatly increased. PS: Ever since Shennong died tasting hundreds of herbs, his descendants have significantly increased resistance to deadly poisons.

Upon seeing the talent of Descendant of Shennong, Su Xing’s eyes immediately lit up.

“Damn, this is definitely an upgraded version of the plant affinity talent! With this talent, cultivating Spirit Plants will become even simpler!”

“And it even comes with a bonus of poison resistance, truly a god-level farming talent!”

Su Xing was extremely eager about this talent and turned his gaze toward the simulation panel.

[Inside the Spirit Field Blessed Land, you realize that you are in a simulation.]

[You begin to tamper with the Spirit Plants in the Spirit Field and, sure enough, the Shennong talent proves to be much stronger than the previous plant affinity.]

[You casually plant a seed, which you quickly hasten to maturity; within just a week, it starts to sprout roots and germinate, more than twice as fast as before!]

[Your wood attribute Spiritual Power has an even stronger effect on hastening the growth of plants, and the Spirit Grains in your field become plumper and more abundant.]

[Somewhat surprised, you plant thirty seeds of the Gathering Spirit Flower, and these begin to grow robustly!]

[You start to find time to cultivate the wasteland, and within just a week, you have planted another ninety mu of Spirit Grains, bringing the total in your field to a hundred mu!]

[A week later, Jin Congxue brings you millennium ginseng and other herbs she found. Although in small quantities, they are enough for you to refine several Life Extension Pills.]

[During this time, Wang Qingxuan seemed to have lost a lot of weight. No longer washing her face with tears, she still often appeared dazed, a complete change from before.]

[Whether for Wang Qingxuan’s sake or to investigate the relationship between the Black Dragon Commerce Guild and the Descending Sect, you decide to visit the Black Dragon Guild.]

Su Xing nodded slightly at this and murmured:

“Indeed, the effect of the Descendant of Shennong talent is astonishing. It seems that this simulation should yield a large batch of Gathering Spirit Flowers!”

“As for the Black Dragon Commerce Guild, it’s definitely worth investigating…”

Thinking thus, Su Xing’s eyes moved back to the simulation panel.

[One day, after taking your own refined top-quality Disguise Pill and Breath Concealment Pill, confirming you wouldn’t be detected, you sneak into the Black Dragon Guild.]

[Through your Divine Sense, you perceive that there is no shortage of powerful individuals in the Black Dragon Guild; there are several Heavenly King Level experts, as well as numerous Masters and Grandmaster Level practitioners.]

[The rumored Martial Emperor does not seem to be present in the guild, and with your abilities, you easily infiltrate the innermost part of the Black Dragon Guild.]

[This appears to be an ordinary courtyard, just like any common quadrangle, but you feel more and more that there is something abnormal here.]

[Thus, you launch your Divine Sense, carefully searching every corner here, hoping to find some clues.]

[The whole courtyard seems normal at first glance, until your Divine Sense probes a hundred and fifty zhang underground and discovers something amiss!]

[There is a deeply hidden chamber!]

Su Xing raised his eyebrows at this.

A hundred and fifty zhang underground, that’s almost four to five hundred meters, right?

At that depth, it’s not just bomb shelters; even nuclear blasts wouldn’t be a concern!

“What kind of secret needs to be concealed nearly five hundred meters underground?”

Su Xing pondered, his eyes moving back to the simulation panel.

[Although this chamber is deeply hidden, you still find an extremely concealed mechanism through your Divine Sense.]

[You trigger the mechanism, walk down the long staircase, and successfully enter the chamber.]

[The scene inside the chamber shocks you, for it is filled with controlled Puppets!]

[With your exceptional Divine Sense, you can sense faint traces of Spiritual Power on these individuals.]

[This means that there is a Cultivator behind these Puppets! It also means there is a Cultivator behind the Black Dragon Commerce Guild!]

[While you are slightly astonished, the mechanism has been triggered and these Puppets are awakened, all attacking you.]

[From previous intelligence, you know that these Puppets are mostly previously missing professionals, their strength ranging between Gold and Master Levels.]

[Such strength, even if hundreds of Puppets attacked at once, poses no fear to you.]

[Without much effort, you defeat all the Puppets.]
