Others Level Up, but I Pursue Cultivation!

A moment later, outside the gates of Kyoto Vocational University, beneath a sycamore tree.

Jin Congxue, wearing a coffee-colored woolen trench coat, smiled brightly as she looked at Su Xing and said,

"What good stuff do you have for me?"

Su Xing chuckled, handing over twenty pounds of Spirit Rice to Jin Congxue, then took out a Nourishing Face Pill and passed it to her.

"This is some good stuff. Try it and see!"

Because he had previously simulated the scenario, Su Xing trusted Jin Congxue.

Jin Congxue took the Nourishing Face Pill and examined it closely for a moment.

The elixir was crystal clear. She brought it close to her nose and sniffed, detecting a faint herbal aroma.

Holding the elixir in her hand, Jin Congxue gave Su Xing a suspicious look and half-jokingly said,

"You're not trying to do something bad to me and then drug me, are you?"

Su Xing raised an eyebrow and laughed,

"Oh? So are you brave enough to eat it, Jin Congxue? Afraid I might do something bad to you?"

Jin Congxue burst into laughter and swallowed the Nourishing Face Pill, giving Su Xing a challenging look.

Her seductive expression was enchanting, causing Su Xing to feel a surge of heat in his belly.

As soon as the elixir entered her body, it dissolved. Jin Congxue let out a surprised "hmm?" and carefully sensed her body's condition.

Suddenly, a thin layer of grime appeared on Jin Congxue's fair skin. She was startled and quickly took out a small mirror from her bag to check her face.

After examining herself for a while, she was stunned and incredulously asked,

"Su Xing, how did you do this? The fine lines on my face are gone! My skin feels at least three to four years younger!"

Su Xing smiled slightly. Although Jin Congxue was not yet thirty, her well-maintained skin made her look around twenty-three or twenty-four years old.

But now, after taking Su Xing's Nourishing Face Pill, her skin looked as if she were about twenty!

Pointing to the Nourishing Face Pill in his hand, Su Xing said,

"How about it? This is my new elixir, the 'Rich Lady's Happy Pill'!"

"'Rich Lady's Happy Pill'…?" Jin Congxue's face flushed slightly, and she softly remarked,

"That doesn't sound like a proper name at all!"

Su Xing chuckled and said,

"Who cares what it's called? The question is, do you feel happy after taking it?"

Absentmindedly, Jin Congxue nodded. Women, especially beautiful ones, are particularly concerned about their appearance.

Su Xing continued,

"This 'Rich Lady's Happy Pill' can make people look young again. One pill can last about a month, after which the effects gradually wear off. The effect is similar to making a thirty-year-old woman look twenty again, and a forty-year-old woman look thirty!"

Jin Congxue nodded as she listened. The current condition of her skin matched exactly what Su Xing described, so she asked,

"So, what are you proposing?"

Su Xing took out a bottle of Nourishing Face Pills from his pocket and said,

"I have fifty 'Rich Lady's Happy Pills' here. I hope you can help me sell them!"

Jin Congxue was momentarily stunned and exclaimed,

"Such valuable elixirs, are you sure you want to sell them? Did you really make these elixirs?"

Su Xing nodded and said,

"That's right, I can produce at least fifty 'Rich Lady's Happy Pills' each month. I hope to establish a long-term partnership with Jin Merchant Guild."

Jin Congxue's expression changed slightly. As the daughter of a merchant family, she immediately recognized the tremendous business opportunity involved.

Excitedly, Jin Congxue said to Su Xing,

"We need to discuss this in detail! Jin Merchant Guild has a villa not far from Kyoto Vocational University. Let's go there to talk!"

Su Xing nodded, judging from Jin Congxue's reaction that the Nourishing Face Pill was indeed quite significant.

Jin Congxue pulled out a phone, made a call, and soon a black Rolls-Royce drove over, drawing gasps from the surrounding students.

Su Xing got into the car, and after a ten-minute drive, they arrived at a villa.

Inside the villa, three or four middle-aged men were already waiting.

Jin Congxue introduced,

"Su Xing, this Nourishing Face Pill is extraordinary. Its value is immense. According to the rules of Jin Merchant Guild, we need our appraisers to jointly determine its worth. You don't mind, do you?"

Su Xing shook his head. Although he and Jin Congxue were friends, business was business, and everything needed to be clear.

Very soon, the appraisers took out specific tools to assess the Nourishing Face Pill.

In this world, there was a profession known as appraisers. Most of them worked for certain factions, such as these present appraisers.

After carefully observing for over ten minutes, one appraiser exclaimed,

"This elixir is indeed harmless to the human body. It uses a unique energy to temporarily alleviate aging and even rejuvenate!"

The appraisers discussed among themselves and concluded,

"After our deliberation, we believe this elixir should be valued at around one million Great Xia Coins. Although it's magical, it only lasts for a month, requiring long-term use. The high price might mean it won't have a market."

They then turned to Su Xing, wanting to know if he agreed with the price.

Just as Su Xing was about to nod, Jin Congxue interrupted,

"Everyone, while you've mentioned the usage value of this elixir, you have overlooked its commercial value!"

The appraisers frowned slightly, but Jin Congxue continued,

"Do you think the people who can afford this elixir are ordinary people?"

"In my estimation, the primary buyers will be middle-aged women or, more specifically, wealthy noblewomen!"

"Selling these elixirs to them not only makes money but also helps Jin Merchant Guild build connections and resources!"

"Now, tell me, which is more important: money or connections and resources?"

Hearing Jin Congxue's words, the appraisers fell silent.

For ordinary merchants, perhaps money was more important.

But for a giant like Jin Merchant Guild in the Great Xia Country, building connections and accumulating resources was evidently more vital.

Jin Congxue continued,

"So, I suggest we auction these elixirs for free, helping Su Xing sell them to further expand Jin Merchant Guild's influence! What do you think?"

Hearing Jin Congxue's words, the appraisers showed strange expressions. With their keen eyes, they could easily see the value in these elixirs. But merchants naturally aimed to maximize their profits.

Yet Jin Congxue seemed to be favoring Su Xing to an unusual extent!

The appraisers glanced at Su Xing, noticing his youthful appearance and exceptional demeanor, especially since he could produce such elixirs.

Something clicked in their minds: Could he be the future son-in-law of Jin Merchant Guild?

The appraisers quickly agreed,

"Everything is as Miss Jin decides!"

Jin Congxue nodded in satisfaction, then turned to Su Xing, her eyes sparkling mischievously.

Soon, they signed a business contract.

Su Xing provided the "Rich Lady's Happy Pills" and designated Jin Merchant Guild as the sole sales channel.

Jin Merchant Guild agreed to give all auction profits to Su Xing.

After the contract was signed, the appraisers left quickly with the Nourishing Face Pills.

Jin Congxue looked at Su Xing with playful eyes and said,

"Su Xing, how are you going to thank me for such a big favor?"
