Chapter 26 Good Luck and the Secret to Getting Rich!

Su Xing’s eyes lit up when he saw this, as he hadn’t expected a green-quality luck talent to have such a significant impact.

Before, it would have taken him at least a month to find a chicken with potential, but this time he had succeeded in just one week.

“It seems this streak of good luck talent is really extraordinary… Perhaps it can be taken out of the simulator,” Su Xing thought to himself and continued reading.

[You raised those seven or eight chickens separately, feeding them a certain amount of Spirit Rice every day, and after a while, their feathers became glossier.]

[Every day, in addition to feeding the Spirit Chickens and taking care of the Spirit Grains on time, you spent most of your time studying the Li Fire Alchemy.]

[You selected some spirit seeds left by Qing Yunzi to plant, and also bought some good-quality ginseng from the market to plant in the Spirit Field.]

[A week passed, and Jin Congxue came to Kyoto to find you, you gave her the Spirit Rice you had prepared in advance, and treated her to a meal.]

[After saying goodbye to Jin Congxue, you continued to diligently study the Li Fire Alchemy. Since you already possessed the Li Fire technique, you immediately tried Alchemy.]

[You took out some Spirit Rice, mixed it with three or four kinds of medicinal herbs, and put them into the Alchemy Furnace according to the proportions in the pill recipe.]

[You meticulously controlled the Li Fire’s temperature, but unsurprisingly, due to lack of technique, the alchemy failed.]

[You did not give up and continued to focus on Alchemy.]

[Soon, half a year passed by, and during this time, besides regularly feeding Wang Qingxuan soul chicken soup, you spent most of your time learning how to make Fasting Pills.]

[Finally, with your relentless efforts, you successfully made the first batch of Fasting Pills.]

[After half a year, you had mastered all the steps for making Fasting Pills. The proportions of medicinal materials, control of fire, and alchemy techniques were all approaching mastery.]

[Now, when you produced a batch of Fasting Pills, you could get eight or nine pills, and because you were quite lucky, every two or three batches of Fasting Pills would produce an extraordinary one.]

Su Xing was pleased when he read this; in his last simulation, it had taken him eight years to simply master the Li Fire technique.

But in this simulation, because he already had the Li Fire technique from the start, it only took him a year to successfully learn how to make Fasting Pills, greatly increasing efficiency!

Full of anticipation, Su Xing continued to read on.

[You spent a week making fifty finished Fasting Pills, and then went to find Jin Congxue to sell them.]

[Jin Congxue brought in a master appraiser from the Jin Merchant Guild to evaluate your Fasting Pills. The master appraiser said he had never seen such elixirs, but there was an item called “Ration Pill” in his repertoire that was similar.]

[The master appraiser explained that Ration Pills were capable of providing the body with energy and after taking them, one would feel energetic and not experience hunger for three days. However, your Fasting Pills could maintain this state for a month, much more effective than the Ration Pills.]

[Ration Pills were priced at about 3,000 coins each, so the master appraiser believed your Fasting Pills could be sold for around 100,000 coins each.]

Su Xing frowned slightly when he read this. Were the Fasting Pills really worth only 100,000 coins each?

This value was lower than he had expected.

But then he realized that because this world had copies which could produce various space items similar to storage rings, every professional could carry large quantities of food.

The greatest advantage of Fasting Pills was their convenience; secondary to that was saving the time spent eating, so they could be used on special occasions.

[The master appraiser said if you could supply these pills in the long term, he would be willing to represent the Jin Merchant Guild and purchase them for 80,000 coins each.]

[Upon hearing this, Jin Congxue seemed displeased and said that she would take as many Fasting Pills as you had at 100,000 coins each. While the master appraiser frowned slightly, he did not object.]

Su Xing saw this and felt warmth in his heart again. One hundred thousand pieces each was the selling price, and Jin Congxue spending this money to purchase from him meant she would make hardly any profit—it was entirely to help him.

[You did not reject Jin Congxue’s kindness because you believed that the Fasting Pill was indeed worth the price of one hundred thousand pieces. You sold all fifty Fasting Pills to Jin Congxue but kept five superior Fasting Pills for backup.]

[You used all the money from the sale to purchase materials for making the Nourishing Face Pill, but without Spirit Ginseng, you could only replace it with ordinary ginseng.]

[One day, Wang Qingxuan came to you, indicating that she might have to leave you and join a certain mysterious organization.]

[You asked her if it was the Descending Sect. She was surprised that you knew of this cult, but still nodded in acknowledgment.]

[You gently persuaded her that the Descending Sect was not to be trusted, but Wang Qingxuan could act as your undercover agent and infiltrate the sect. At the same time, you requested her help in finding the latter half of the Changchun Technique.]

[Although Wang Qingxuan did not understand your request, her deep love for you led her to agree.]

[That night was wild, and the next day, she withdrew from the Kyoto Academy.]

Su Xing breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this. From the results of his previous simulations, the Descending Sect was undoubtedly a colossal entity, even conspiring with the Foreign Race to annihilate the Human Race; therefore, he actually hoped to avoid any contact with the Descending Sect.

But the problem was that the whereabouts of the latter half of the Changchun Technique’s cultivation method was still within the Descending Sect, and he had no choice but to find a way to learn news about the sect.

Su Xing continued to simulate further.

[After bidding farewell to Wang Qingxuan, you started to diligently study the Nourishing Face Pill.]

[In the second year of the simulation, because you lacked Spirit Ginseng and replaced it directly with ginseng, the difficulty of making the Nourishing Face Pill increased. You spent a whole year but still could not produce a successful batch.]

[In the third year, after relentless efforts, you finally managed to produce the first batch of inferior Nourishing Face Pills. You took one and felt your skin become much more delicate. However, your skill in making Nourishing Face Pills was low, and each batch yielded at most one or two successful pills.]

[Moreover, as you used up a large amount of medicinal materials in making the Nourishing Face Pills, your savings dwindled to very little. Left with no choice, you spent another month making three hundred Fasting Pills, selling them to Jin Congxue.]

[With the money in hand, you continued to focus on alchemy.]

[In the fourth year, after thousands of attempts, your skill in making the simplified version of the Nourishing Face Pill became very reliable, and you achieved great proficiency in its creation.]

[You spent a week making fifty of the simplified Nourishing Face Pills and brought them to Jin Congxue to sell.]

[Jin Congxue took one and immediately felt her skin become more delicate, her crow’s feet gradually fading away.]

[Overjoyed, Jin Congxue asked you how long this youthful state could be maintained. You told her it would last for about a month.]

[Jin Congxue immediately expressed her desire to purchase all fifty of your low-tier Nourishing Face Pills for one million pieces each!]

[You agreed and sold the low-tier Nourishing Face Pills to Jin Congxue, earning fifty million.]

Su Xing felt sentimental when he saw this; actually, the cost of producing a batch of Nourishing Face Pills was even lower than that of Fasting Pills, since the latter required Spirit Grains.

But the allure of the Nourishing Face Pill for women was simply too great!

Just by taking one pill, they could return to youth for a month’s time, far surpassing the effects of top-tier cosmetics and health products.

Wealthy women would undoubtedly be willing to spend a million for a month of youth.

Seeing this, Su Xing’s lips curved slightly upward:

“So, doesn’t this mean the energy cost for the next simulation is covered?”
