Others Level Up, but I Pursue Cultivation! - Chapter 167

Chapter 167: Chapter 139 Chess Piece of the Descending Sect, Black Dragon Chamber of Commerce (5000-Word Chapter)
 

After saying that, Su Xing handed over a storage ring.

“There are two million in cash in this storage ring, as well as some instance dungeon items and equipment. You can use it for now!”

Wang Qingxuan hurriedly 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 nothing to Su Xing at the moment.

More precious in this storage ring was a bottle of the low-grade version of Essence-Nourishing Pills and Organ Refining Pills, and a bag of Spirit Rice. Those were truly valuable items that could boost one’s strength!

“Junior, you should accept these items… Make sure nobody knows I gave them to you!”

Su Xing said solemnly.

Wang Qingxuan obediently nodded after hearing this, her heart filled with gratitude.

After comforting Wang Qingxuan, Su Xing walked her back to her dormitory and then called Jin Congxue.

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

After doing all this, Su Xing rubbed his chin and thought,

“Speaking of which, although Qingxuan almost became a fallen girl before… she shouldn’t be a bad person.”

“But in the future, she joined the Descending Sect, this massive change… it must have started with the Black Dragon Guild incident!”

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

Su Xing fell into deep thought.

In any case, the Black Dragon Guild wasn’t a good organization, allowing its profession users to die in instances without even paying compensation.

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

“But as for the exact connection, let’s wait and see!”

Su Xing thought as he entered the Spirit Field Blessed Land, beginning a new week of alchemy.

In one week, Su Xing skillfully refined six thousand elixirs, and even took some time in between to comfort Wang Qingxuan several times.

Until that day, Jin Congxue sent Su Xing a message.

“I have results on the Black Dragon Guild you asked me to investigate; the situation is complicated… Also, this week’s goods have arrived. Let’s meet at the usual place!”

After reading the message from Jin Congxue, Su Xing packed up the week’s worth of elixirs and immediately headed towards the villa.

In the room, Su Xing saw the meticulously dressed Jin Congxue.

Today, Jin Congxue had a youthful style, wearing a blue floral camisole paired with a clean little leather skirt, sexy yet innocent.

“So, what’s the situation with the Black Dragon Guild?”

Su Xing sat familiarly on the table, eating heartily while asking.

Jin Congxue appeared somewhat serious and nodded, saying,

“According to my investigation, the Black Dragon Guild was established just over a decade ago. It grew from a small workshop with only a few people to one of the top ten guilds in Kyoto with over ten thousand members!”

“The Black Dragon Guild even has Martial Emperor Level experts!”

“This surprised me even more, so I dug deeper and found that the Black Dragon Guild has close ties with the Black Dragon Commerce… In simple terms, the Black Dragon Commerce is the Black Dragon Guild’s front organization, specializing in laundering money and acquiring precious items and equipment from the market!”

After a pause, Jin Congxue continued,

“And, to expand, the Black Dragon Guild has been ruthless!”

“Over the past few years, the death rate of its profession users in instance dungeons has exceeded thirty percent! Thousands of Silver Level or higher profession users have died or disappeared under mysterious circumstances.”

“Moreover, the families of profession users who died while on duty never received death compensation, even though the issue caused a great uproar. However, due to its deep connections, the Black Dragon Guild managed to bury the matter.”

Su Xing nodded slightly after hearing this, which confirmed his earlier suspicions.

Jin Congxue, seeing this, smirked and asked,

“You’re looking into this for that junior of yours, right?”

Su Xing was taken aback and blurted out, “How did you know?”

Jin Congxue rolled her eyes and said,

“You didn’t hide it; it wasn’t hard to investigate!”

“Besides, don’t you think I was unaware of your ambiguous relationship with Wang Qingxuan?”

Jin Congxue flirtatiously rolled her eyes.

Su Xing blushed, feeling like he was caught red-handed.

Seeing Su Xing remain silent, Jin Congxue got down to business:

“That girl Wang Qingxuan is indeed pitiful. I heard her parents died in an instance mission. Not only her parents, but all one hundred twenty profession users involved in that mission died, with no survivors!”

“And there was no compensation either… I even heard Wang Qingxuan was threatened when she went to ask for it.”

Su Xing frowned in confusion and asked,

“Threatened?”

Jin Congxue nodded slightly and said,

“Yes! A young girl with good looks, alone and without financial support… The responsible person said she had to submit to him if she wanted the compensation!”

Su Xing’s forehead throbbed with frustration. Good grief, they wanted both money and beauty?

Indeed, the Black Dragon Commerce was no good!

Jin Congxue handed over more specific information from her investigation to Su Xing.

After that, Jin Congxue started talking about formal business.

“We’re done with the Black Dragon Commerce topic… By the way, here are your goods for the week!”

“As for the herbs you asked me to find last time, I’ve got leads. Faster in seven days or slower in half a month, they’ll be in your hands!”

Su Xing nodded slightly and handed over the elixirs for the new week.

After some small talk, Su Xing returned to the school and re-entered the Spirit Field Blessed Land.
