Others Level Up, but I Pursue Cultivation! - Chapter 137 - Chapter 137: Chapter 120: The Spirit Rice Plan, Benefiting All Mankind?

Chapter 137: Chapter 120: The Spirit Rice Plan, Benefiting All Mankind?

Su Xing could feel the terrifying power within himself.

His current strength was many times greater than when he first reached Great Perfection in the Origin Martial Realm.

But compared to those fearsome Demonic Beasts at Demon-Subduing Pass, he was still too weak.

“The most urgent task is still to quickly increase my own strength!”

Su Xing already had a plan in his heart.

If nothing unexpected happens, breaking through the first layer of the Divine Strength Realm would require ten million energy units.

However, he didn’t have enough energy to boost his cultivation level significantly in a short period of time.

Therefore, it was time to consider breaking through to Divinity Transformation in his Qi Refining Cultivation.

“While accumulating energy, raising my Body Refinement Cultivation to the Great Perfection of the Divine Strength Realm… at the same time, I must find the whereabouts of another material, Snow Bone Ginseng!”

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

Su Xing sighed and then began his routine alchemy.

Unfortunately, the breakthrough in Body Refinement Cultivation didn’t help his alchemy; in fact, compared to breaking through to the Divine Strength Realm, he would prefer to reach the Divinity Transformation Stage first, since that would allow him to have more Spiritual Energy and make alchemy faster!

In the following week, Su Xing again fell into a busy rhythm of alchemy.

Over the week, Su Xing once again produced five thousand elixirs.

“Phew~ Finally done. Looking at the time, it’s about time to go see Jin Congxue!”

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

Soon, Su Xing arrived at the villa outside Jiangnan University of Applied Sciences and met with the long-waiting Jin Congxue.

Given that it was May and the weather was getting warmer, Jin Congxue was wearing a cool, short skirt today, which earned silent praise from Su Xing.

Jin Congxue gave Su Xing a blank look and pouted,

“Where are you looking? Come over and eat!”

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

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

Although Su Xing was a Nascent Soul cultivator and capable of fasting, his strong Body Cultivation and the consumption of the Divine Strength Realm meant that without ample food, his strength would be greatly affected.

Even though these ordinary foods weren’t of much use to Su Xing, he still ate with great satisfaction.

“Mmm~ This dish tastes really good! It’s just that the rice isn’t tasty…”

Su Xing, used to eating Spirit Rice, found even the best North-East rice tasteless.

“By the way, I have Spirit Rice… from now on, use Spirit Rice for cooking!”

Su Xing took out several hundred catties of Spirit Rice from his storage ring and handed them to Jin Congxue.

Jin Congxue had seen Spirit Rice before; she got some after coming out from the Spirit Field Blessed Land instance and had always been too reluctant to eat it!

When Jin Congxue saw that Su Xing took out so much Spirit Rice, she was shocked and asked,

“Wow, how much Spirit Rice do you have? How can you take out so much all at once?”

Su Xing thought for a moment upon hearing this.

He had opened up ten acres of Spirit Field in the blessed land. With the Spirit Gathering Array and the use of his Spiritual Power to speed up maturation… if he later mastered Earth Dragon technique, a yield of five thousand catties per acre wouldn’t be a problem…

In the blessed land, where it’s spring all year round and the Spiritual Energy is abundant, Spirit Grains can be harvested twice a year…

Doing some calculations…

“Not that much, I guess… only about a hundred thousand catties a year, just barely enough for me to eat,” Su Xing said.

A hundred thousand catties, just barely enough for you to eat? Listen to what you’re saying!

Jin Congxue rolled her eyes after hearing this, clearly thinking that Su Xing was bragging.

“A hundred thousand catties of rice is enough to feed hundreds of people for a year, and you’re saying it’s just for you?”

Su Xing nodded earnestly and replied,

“That’s right! I have a big appetite… the Spirit Rice tastes good… so I can eat that much!”

Jin Congxue, seeing Su Xing take out so much Spirit Rice, had already guessed the source of these Spirit Rice.

Clearly, the rice came from the Spirit Field instance, and being able to obtain a hundred thousand catties of Spirit Rice each year… if Su Xing wasn’t bluffing… then it was likely that he had inherited the whole Spirit Field instance from before.

Jin Congxue looked deeply at Su Xing, thinking a lot in her mind. She had some guesses about where Su Xing had learned this alchemy and Spirit Grains.

This kind of thing is not uncommon; some lucky ones accidentally enter an instance and end up inheriting treasures from it, or even the whole instance, eventually becoming strong cultivators.

In Great Xia Country, one would appear every few decades.

However, Jin Congxue had never seen an instance worth so much!

Whether it was the elixirs that Su Xing produced or the Spirit Rice in front of her, it was enormously helpful to a person. It would not be an exaggeration to say that with these things, one could be rich enough to rival nations!

And such a huge secret… Su Xing apparently had no intention of hiding it from her.

Thinking this, Jin Congxue felt warmth in her heart, and her gaze towards Su Xing became more affectionate.

“Hmm?”

Su Xing, noticing Jin Congxue suddenly looking at him with deep affection, felt baffled.

“What the heck… Why is she looking at me with those eyes all of a sudden? Is it just for some Spirit Rice… really?”

Su Xing thought to himself. Clearly, he had not thought of it in that way.

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

These secrets would sooner or later become impossible to hide from Jin Congxue, so letting her know was of no harm!

The most critical point was that Su Xing had broken through to the Divine Strength Realm, now possessing comparable combat strength to that of the Martial Emperor level!

Guarding an instance was still an easy task for him.

After all, the biggest secret Su Xing had wasn’t the Spirit Field Blessed Land but the simulator he carried with him, which was the foundation of his strength!

Jin Congxue summoned a servant, who cooked some Spirit Rice into a meal. After trying a bite, her eyes lit up, and she couldn’t help but exclaim,

“This Spirit Rice really tastes excellent, and it greatly benefits lower rank practitioners in physical enhancement. If it were sold as a product, it could probably fetch a very high price!”

Hearing this, Su Xing, while wolfing down his rice, casually asked,

“It’s just rice, how much could it sell for?”

In Su Xing’s mind, rice should be something affordable for everyone, not worth much.

What could make money faster than alchemy?

After hearing this, Jin Congxue pondered for a moment and seriously said,

“This Spirit Rice is highly beneficial to practitioners below the Gold and even Master levels… If it were me, I would not hesitate to buy a pound of Spirit Rice for one hundred thousand dollars!”

“This Spirit Rice is extremely rich in energy. An ordinary Gold level practitioner would be full after eating just an ounce in one meal, and two ounces at most for those who are strength-based practitioners… By that count, a pound of rice would be enough for them for three or four days!”

“Moreover, the nourishment Spirit Rice provides to one’s physique is long-term. If a Silver level practitioner regularly consumed Spirit Rice, their physical condition would definitely surpass others at the same level by a lot, and the chances of breaking through to the Gold level might be even greater! Saying it could indirectly boost one’s strength isn’t an overstatement!”

After hearing Jin Congxue’s words, Su Xing was stunned.

What mattered to him wasn’t how much the Spirit Rice could sell for, but the fact that Jin Congxue mentioned that the Spirit Rice could help low-rank practitioners improve their potential!

This meant that perhaps by having low-rank practitioners, even children, consume Spirit Rice over a long period, their physical fitness could improve, and their future strength would only be stronger!

If they pursued this path, the short-term might not show profits…

But if it were ten or twenty years later… the overall strength of the Human Race would have risen by two levels!

Practitioners who originally only had the potential to reach the Silver level might be able to reach the Gold level!

And those in the Gold level could even advance to the Master level!

The more Master level practitioners there are, the more would eventually become Grandmasters…

And from there to the Heavenly King level…

If one were to extrapolate from this…

“Hiss~”

Su Xing took a deep breath; thinking this way, there really was potential in this venture!

But the problem now was that Su Xing simply couldn’t grow enough Spirit Rice to feed all the low-rank practitioners, let alone the children, in the entire Great Xia Country!

With billions of people in Great Xia Country, even if only a hundred million consumed Spirit Rice, that would still be a colossal figure…

And Su Xing’s Spirit Field Blessed Land, in total, only had a little more than five hundred acres. Excluding the land used for cultivating Spiritual Medicine, the annual yield would only be around five million pounds…

By those calculations, it seemed totally insufficient!

Su Xing fell into deep thought and then suddenly remembered something.

“Wait… If I remember correctly, by using Spirit Stones to set up a Spirit Gathering Array, one could transform ordinary land into a Spirit Field!”

Even without a Spirit Gathering Array, by just transplanting a couple of Gathering Spirit Flowers and spending a few Spirit Stones, as long as the Spiritual Energy absorbed by the Spirit Rice wasn’t more than that of the Gathering Spirit Flowers, one could completely convert an acre of ordinary land into a Spirit Field capable of cultivating Spirit Rice!

“This… seems to have a lot of potential!”

A light sparked in Su Xing’s eyes, and he then asked Jin Congxue,

“If you were to sell Spirit Rice, how much do you think you could sell it for?”

Jin Congxue thought for a moment and said,

“The actual value of this Spirit Rice is estimated to be about one hundred thousand dollars per pound… but if it goes through commercial packaging, and is marketed as something like the Rice of Genius or Specialty Rice for Practitioners, selling it for three to five hundred thousand dollars a pound wouldn’t be a problem!”

After hearing Jin Congxue’s words, Su Xing nodded and said,

“I will seriously consider this, and if later I decide that I want the Tarot Society to specialize in selling Spirit Rice, I will need your help!”

Jin Congxue nodded after hearing this and confidently said,

“Don’t worry! If you truly have enough Spirit Rice to sell, leave it to me. We have the exclusive supply of this rice – the only one in the entire world. Even if the price is high, do you think we’ll have trouble selling it?”

After the meal, Su Xing and Jin Congxue chatted for a while and then he returned to the Spirit Field Blessed Land.

First, Su Xing converted the new batch of goods from Jin Congxue into energy.

He exchanged for a total of over eleven million units of simulator energy, and as the Tarot Commerce Association grew larger, the energy Su Xing received also increased.

Then, instead of rushing to simulate, Su Xing carefully considered the feasibility of selling Spirit Rice.

“If I really want to cultivate Spirit Rice, I can simply bring more Gathering Spirit Flowers back from the simulator, growing a few thousand acres wouldn’t be too difficult, but the problem is…”

“Large-scale cultivation of Spirit Rice would easily be noticed, which might not be a concern to others, but that damned Zong, he monitors everything related to Cultivation very closely!”

After pondering for a moment, Su Xing realized that he had to deal with Zong, one of the few Cultivators he knew of, and also a Divinity Transformation Stage powerhouse. If he could take him down, the benefits would be immense!

“Well then, let me try it out in a simulation, to see if I can cultivate Spirit Rice on a large scale!”

Struck by the thought, Su Xing summoned the simulation panel and silently commanded,

“Begin simulation!”
