While Others are Leveling Up, I Alone Will Cultivate Until Mahayana Before Making My Move
Chapter 137 - 120: Spirit Rice Project, Benefiting All Mankind?

Su Xing could feel the terrifying power within himself.

His current strength was countless times stronger than when he had first entered the Great Perfection of the Origin Martial Realm.

But compared to those terrifying demonic beasts at the Demon-Subduing Pass, it was still too weak.

"The top priority is to quickly enhance my own strength!"

Su Xing already had a plan in mind.

If nothing unexpected happened, breaking through to the First Layer of the Divine Strength Realm would require ten million units of energy.

And he did not have enough energy to bring out a large amount of cultivation in a short period of time.

Therefore, it was time to consider breaking through to the Divinity Transformation Stage in terms of Qi Refinement cultivation.

"On one hand, accumulate energy to elevate my Body Refinement cultivation to the Great Perfection of the Divine Strength Realm... while simultaneously seeking the whereabouts of another material, Snowbone Jade Ginseng."

"Sigh, but before that, I still need to make more money to earn energy!"

Su Xing sighed and then began his daily alchemy practice.

Unfortunately, the breakthrough in Body Refinement cultivation did not help his alchemy. In fact, compared to breaking through the Divine Strength Realm, he hoped more to reach the Divinity Transformation Stage first since it would give him more spiritual energy and make alchemy faster!

Over the next week, Su Xing once again fell into a busy alchemy rhythm.

In a week's time, Su Xing refined five thousand elixirs.

"Phew, finally accomplished, considering the time, it's time to see Jin Congxue!"

Su Xing glanced at the time and headed towards the villa.

Very soon, Su Xing arrived at the villa outside Jiangnan Vocational College, where Jin Congxue had been waiting for a long time.

It was May, and the weather was getting warmer. Today, Jin Congxue wore a cool short skirt, which Su Xing silently admired.

Jin Congxue rolled her eyes at Su Xing and coquettishly said,

"Where are you looking? Come over and eat!"

Su Xing chuckled and sat opposite Jin Congxue, devouring the food in front of him.

As Su Xing broke through to the Divine Strength Realm, he found that his requirements for food were getting higher and he ate more at each meal.

Although Su Xing was a Nascent Soul cultivator and could already fast, his Body Refinement was even stronger, and the consumption of the Divine Strength Realm required sufficient food to replenish, greatly affecting his strength without it.

Although these ordinary foods were not very useful to Su Xing, he still ate them with satisfaction.

"Mm, this dish tastes really good! But the rice isn't delicious..."

Su Xing was used to spirit rice, and even the best Northern East rice tasted like wax to him.

"By the way, I have some spirit rice... you can use it for cooking from now on!"

Su Xing took out several hundred pounds of spirit rice from his storage ring and gave it to Jin Congxue.

Jin Congxue had seen spirit rice before. When she came out from the Spirit Field Blessed Land dungeon, she had received some spirit rice and had been reluctant to eat it!

Seeing Su Xing take out so much spirit rice, Jin Congxue was startled and asked,

"Wow, how much spirit rice do you have? How can you take out so much at once?"

Hearing this, Su Xing thought for a moment.

In the Blessed Land, he had developed ten acres of spirit field. With the Spirit Gathering Array and using his spiritual power to accelerate growth... if he could master the Earth Dragon Technique later, producing five thousand pounds per acre would be no problem...

Inside the Spirit Field Blessed Land, it was spring all year round, the spiritual power was abundant, and the spirit grains could be harvested twice a year...

By that calculation...

"It's not much... about ten thousand pounds a year, just enough for me to eat."

Ten thousand pounds of rice, just enough for one person to eat? Look at what you're saying?

Jin Congxue rolled her eyes, clearly thinking Su Xing was bragging.

"Ten thousand pounds of rice is enough for hundreds of people to eat for a year, and you're saying just for you?"

Hearing this, Su Xing nodded seriously and said,

"That's right! I have a big appetite... and the spirit rice tastes good... so I can eat that much!"

Seeing Su Xing take out so much spirit rice, Jin Congxue already had some guesses about the source of these spirit grains.

Obviously, these spirit grains were obtained from the Spirit Field dungeon, and if Su Xing wasn't bragging...

that he inherited the entire Spirit Field dungeon?

Jin Congxue looked deeply at Su Xing, thinking a lot in her mind. She had some guesses about where Su Xing learned these alchemy and spirit rice processes.

Such things were not uncommon; some lucky individuals stumbled into a dungeon and eventually inherited the treasures, or even the entire dungeon, becoming powerful.

In the Great Xia Country, such a person would appear every few decades.

But Jin Congxue had never seen a dungeon with such substantial value!

Whether it was the elixirs Su Xing produced or the spirit rice in front of them, it was immensely beneficial to a person's growth, to the extent that it could make someone enormously wealthy!

And Su Xing did not hide such a significant secret from her.

Thinking of this, Jin Congxue felt her heart warm, looking at Su Xing with even more affection.

"Huh?"

Su Xing noticed Jin Congxue suddenly looking at him with deep affection and was puzzled.

"What's with this... expression? Is it just because I gave some spirit rice... is it really that important?"

Su Xing wondered to himself, not thinking in that direction.

After all, he and Jin Congxue had been cooperating for half a year, and unless something unexpected happened, they would continue to cooperate in the future.

These secrets were bound to be revealed to Jin Congxue sooner or later, so it was no big deal to let her know now!

Most importantly, Su Xing had broken through to the Divine Strength Realm and gained true strength comparable to a Martial Emperor!

Guarding a single dungeon was a piece of cake.

After all, Su Xing's greatest secret was not the Spirit Field Blessed Land but his portable simulator, which was the foundation of his strength!

Jin Congxue called a servant to cook some spirit rice, tasted it, and her eyes lit up. She couldn't help but praise,

"This spirit rice tastes really good and is very beneficial for enhancing the physique of low-rank profession users. If marketed, it could fetch a high price!"

Hearing this, Su Xing continued to gobble down his food and casually asked,

"It's just rice; how much can it sell for?"

In Su Xing's opinion, rice should be something everyone could afford, not worth much.

How could it make money faster than alchemy?

Jin Congxue thought for a moment and said seriously,

"This spirit rice is highly beneficial for profession users below the Gold Level, even Master Level... if it were me, I'd buy it for a hundred thousand per pound!"

"This spirit rice is extremely nutritious, and an ordinary Gold Level profession user would be full after eating one or two ounces, while a strength-based profession user would be full after about four ounces... calculating this way, one pound of rice is enough for them to eat for three to four days!"

"Furthermore, the nourishment provided by spirit rice is long-term. If a Silver Level profession user consumes spirit rice over a long period, their physical fitness will vastly exceed others at the same level, greatly increasing their chances of breakthroughs to the Gold Level! It wouldn't be wrong to say it indirectly enhances your strength!"

Hearing Jin Congxue's words, Su Xing froze.

What he valued was not how much the spirit rice could be sold for, but what Jin Congxue mentioned about the spirit rice helping low-rank profession users improve their potential!

This meant that it could be possible to let low-rank profession users, or even children, consume spirit rice over long periods, thereby enhancing their physical fitness, leading to stronger future capabilities!

If done this way, one might not see benefits in the short term...

But if we're talking ten, twenty years in the future... the overall strength of the human race would rise by two ranks!

Originally, those who could only potentially reach Silver Level might improve to Gold Level!

And those at the Gold Level could even upgrade to the Master Level!

The more Master Level profession users there were, the more Grandmaster Levels would emerge...

Up to the Heavenly King Level...

Extrapolating this further...

"Gosh!"

Su Xing took a deep breath. Considering it this way, it was indeed feasible!

But the problem now was that Su Xing could not produce enough spirit rice to feed all the low-rank profession users, or even children, of an entire country!

The Great Xia Country had tens of billions of people. Even if only one billion consumed spirit rice, the numbers would be staggering...

And his Spirit Field Blessed Land had only over five hundred acres, apart from the land used for planting spiritual medicine. The annual yield was about five million pounds...

By that calculation, it's not nearly enough!

Su Xing fell into deep thought and suddenly thought of something.

"Wait... if I recall correctly, using spirit stones to set up a Spirit Gathering Array could convert ordinary land into spirit fields!"

He wouldn't even need a Spirit Gathering Array, just transplanting two Gathering Spirit Flowers and using one or two spirit stones... as long as the spirit rice didn't absorb more spiritual energy than the Gathering Spirit Flower, it could fully convert one acre of ordinary land into a spirit field for growing spirit rice!

"This idea... really has potential!"

Su Xing's eyes lit up and he then asked Jin Congxue,

"If you were to sell spirit rice, how much do you think you could get?"

Jin Congxue thought for a while and said,

"The actual value of this spirit rice is about a hundred thousand per pound... but if commercially packaged as some 'genius rice,' specifically for profession users, it could sell for three to five hundred thousand per pound with no problem!"

Hearing Jin Congxue's words, Su Xing nodded and said,

"I will seriously consider this. If we need the Tarot Society to specialize in selling spirit rice, I'll need your help!"

Jin Congxue nodded confidently and said,

"Don't worry! If you have enough spirit rice to sell, leave it to me. With our exclusive supply, even if the price is sky-high, are you afraid it won't sell?"

After the meal, Su Xing and Jin Congxue chatted for a while before returning to the Spirit Field Blessed Land.

Su Xing first exchanged a new batch of goods Jin Congxue gave him for energy.

He exchanged about eleven million units of simulated energy, as the Tarot Commerce Association grew bigger and bigger, the energy he got also increased.

After that, Su Xing did not rush to simulate but carefully thought about the feasibility of selling spirit rice.

"If I really want to grow spirit rice, I can bring more Gathering Spirit Flowers from the simulator. Planting a few thousand acres should be no problem, but the issue is..."

"Large-scale planting of spirit rice could easily get noticed. Others might not care much, but Damned Zong keeps a tight watch on everything related to cultivation!"

Su Xing pondered for a moment and realized he needed to deal with Damned Zong, one of the few cultivators he knew. If he could bring him down, the impact would be immense!

"Very well, let me try it in the simulation. Can I manage large-scale planting of spirit rice?"

Su Xing's mind was set. He summoned the simulation panel and silently said,

"Start simulation!"
