I'm in the world of cultivation, and I get a system for becoming a wealthy urban tycoon?

The Boundary of the Azure Sea.

Eastern Regions, Qin Prefecture.

The sea of ​​clouds over the Jinyang Mountains surges like waves and never dissipates throughout the year.

As one of the six major sects in Qinzhou, the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect's buildings are built against the mountain, with its halls, pavilions, and towers appearing and disappearing amidst the sea of ​​clouds.

Although the outer disciples' residences are located on the outermost edge of the sect, they are built with bluestone as the foundation and spirit wood as the beams. The stone foundations are engraved with simple spirit-gathering array patterns, which absorb the spiritual energy of the mountains day and night.

Inside one of the residences, Lu Yang sat cross-legged, his hands forming a mudra on his knees, his eyes closed.

After completing a full cycle, he exhaled a breath of stale air, which turned into a faint white mist in the air.

He opened his eyes, a bitter look rising from them.

"It's still not working. My cultivation speed is too slow... If this continues, I still won't meet the standard this year."

He got out of bed, walked to the window, and opened it.

A mountain breeze, carrying clouds and mist, swept over him, bringing a refreshing coolness that invigorated him slightly.

On a distant hillside, several fellow disciples were practicing sword techniques. The sword light flickered uncertainly in the clouds and mist, and the faint sound of air being cut could be heard.

Lu Yang watched for a while, then a helpless smile appeared on his lips.

This is the final year of the five-year evaluation period.

The rules of the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect can be complex in some ways, but simple in others.

The first five years after entering the sect are an opportunity given to each disciple.

For the past five years, resources have been distributed monthly, and there is no need for labor; one can simply focus on cultivation.

The sect only cares about one thing—whether you are worth continuing to train.

No matter what method you use, if you reach the mid-stage of Qi Refining within five years, you can officially become an outer disciple and continue to enjoy the sect's training.

If one fails to make a breakthrough within five years, one will be relegated to a menial disciple position.

Odd jobs.

These two words weighed heavily on his heart, like a heavy stone.

The servant disciples are required to reclaim all free resources and perform daily tasks for the sect.

Planting spirit rice, felling spirit trees, managing the medicinal garden... each and every task is a time-consuming and laborious chore.

The contribution points earned from these arduous tasks are pitifully small, and cultivation time is severely squeezed.

Once you embark on this path, any further breakthroughs in the future are practically impossible.

He is still quite a distance from reaching the mid-stage of Qi Refining.

Lu Yang closed the window, sat back on the bed, and unconsciously stroked the golden rainbow sword pattern embroidered on the cuff of his disciple's robe.

The design was embroidered with gold thread, the stitches were fine and dense, and the texture was slightly stiff.

Four years ago, when he walked through the mountain gate wearing this outfit, he was full of vigor and ambition.

He came from a third-rate cultivation family in the Yue Kingdom. For a family to produce a disciple who could enter the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect was something that several generations of people dared not even dream of.

He still remembers the day of the entrance test. When he was found to have a mid-grade spiritual root on the spirit testing platform, the elder who came with him burst into tears on the spot.

The old man's lips trembled for a long time before he finally managed to utter a complete sentence: "God bless my Lu family, God bless my Lu family!"

Afterwards, the family held a continuous feast for half a month.

The father would tell everyone he met that his son was now a disciple of Jin Hong, and he stood up straighter than ever before in his life.

As his mother packed his bags, her eyes were red, but she kept smiling, saying that he should cultivate well when he got to the sect, but not to suffer too much.

He still remembers that proud yet reluctant look so clearly, even after four years.

He couldn't make his parents proud in his past life, but he did in this life when he was fifteen.

But who could have imagined...

Lu Yang closed his eyes, and the faces of his fellow disciples flashed through his mind.

In the second month after she started learning, the girl named Mu Yunxue broke through to the mid-stage of Qi Refining.

The sect leader personally accepted her as his disciple, and the news spread throughout Qin Prefecture.

In the tenth month, two more teenagers broke through to the next level and were noticed by powerful figures in the sect, who directly brought them into the inner sect for cultivation.

Every year thereafter, disciples from the same cohort broke through to the mid-stage of Qi Refining.

This is the fifth year, and one-third of the disciples in the same cohort have already entered the outer sect.

The rest are also more or less eager to make one last push this year.

Lu Yang knew he wasn't a genius.

Those geniuses meditate for one day, which is equivalent to him meditating for ten days or even longer.

They grasped the essence of the techniques instantly, while he had to ponder the same mantra repeatedly before he could barely master it.

Sometimes, when the night is still and quiet, he would stare blankly at the rubbings of the cultivation manual. He recognized each character, but when they were put together, they became a fog.

For four years, he has hardly slacked off for a single day.

However, progress in cultivation is like an old ox pulling a cart, so slow it's despair-inducing.

"...So be it, I'll just be a menial servant."

Lu Yang fell backward onto the bed, his head hitting the wooden pillow with a dull thud.

The wooden pillow was hard and numb, making his scalp tingle, but the real pain actually made him feel better.

He stared blankly at the beam above his head.

"The menial servants of the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect are still better than those rogue cultivators and disciples of small sects outside. At least... they don't have to live in fear, they have food to eat, and a place to stay."

He had seen what life was like for independent cultivators since he was a child.

Outside the clan's territory, rogue cultivators often die in the mouths of demonic beasts, or are crushed to death by the slightest provocation for offending someone they shouldn't have, with no one even bothering to collect their bodies.

The situation wasn't much better for cultivators from small families; precarious existence was the norm.

At least under the protection of the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect, one can find shelter from the wind and rain.

"One should be content," he said, a slight smile playing on his lips, as if trying to comfort himself. "Maybe I'll be lucky in the future..."

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly sat up.

A semi-transparent blue light screen appeared out of thin air before his eyes.

The light screen floated in mid-air, its edges faintly glowing with a pale golden light.

On the screen of light, lines of text appeared.

Lu Yang's breath caught in his throat for a moment, but his heart clenched as if gripped tightly and began to pound wildly.

[System fully charged!]

System startup successful!

[Urban Tycoon System loaded!]

This system is dedicated to assisting the host in achieving all-round development in morality, intelligence, physical fitness, and aesthetics, becoming a perfect urban tycoon, and living a happy life!

system!

Having read online novels for several years, how could Lu Yang not know what this was?

His hands unconsciously clenched.

Nineteen years have passed since he transmigrated here. He has fantasized countless times about whether he also has a system, waiting for some opportunity to activate it.

He meditated under the moonlight until dawn, shouted "System" into the air, and even withstood a monster's attack in order to gamble on a life-or-death awakening...

None of it worked.

Over time, he gave up hope.

So this thing needs to be charged?

It took nineteen years to fully charge?!

and many more……

Lu Yang's face froze before the ecstasy on his face could fully bloom.

He blinked, then blinked again, staring intently at the six words in the very center of the screen.

...Urban Tycoon System?

What the hell is this thing?!

He's not in a modern city!

He's in the world of cultivation!

There's no CBD here, no sports cars, and no stock market. How am I supposed to be a city tycoon?!

Lu Yang felt as if he had been pulled down from the clouds and slammed heavily to the ground, ultimately leaving only one thought:

Did this system get sent to the wrong place?

Moral, intellectual, physical, and aesthetic education? What use are they in the world of cultivation?

When a cultivator reaches the Foundation Establishment stage, they can shatter a small mountain with a mere gesture. Can an ordinary person compare to their physique?

Intelligence goes without saying; high-level cultivators can deduce the secrets of heaven in a single thought, how can ordinary people compare?

As for beauty—the cultivation world is full of handsome men and beautiful women, and after cleansing their marrow and refining their essence, they are all more beautiful than the last.

The most crucial thing is money!

In the world of cultivation, the hard currency is spirit stones, elixirs, and magic treasures, not RMB!

Lu Yang's expression went from ecstasy to freeze, then to collapse, and finally to an indescribable complexity in just a few breaths.

The light curtain is still changing.

The initial text slowly faded away, like smoke blown away by the wind, and new content emerged.

[Host: Lu Yang]

Age: 19

[Physical Fitness: 1.9 (Physical fitness far exceeding that of humans!?)]

[Intelligence: 1 (Comparable to the intelligence of a top scientist!!)]

[Wealth: 3 low-grade spirit stones, 1 Qi Condensation Pill.]

[The Confidence of a Tycoon (Level 1): Gain 1 low-grade spirit stones every hour (Money is the foundation of becoming a tycoon; upgrade by spending 100 low-grade spirit stones)]

Daily Task:

[1: Run 3 kilometers, reward: Physical fitness +0.1 (Being a super-rich person requires not only money, but also a healthy body)]

[3: Rest for four hours. Reward: Charm +0.1 (Good rest can effectively improve the host's energy and spirit, and improve skin!)]

[4: Complete three daily tasks. Reward: 50 General Experience!]

With each line Lu Yang read, his heart beat faster, until it almost jumped out of his chest.

hiss……

He took a deep breath, as if trying to inhale all the spiritual mist in the room into his lungs.

The mist was cool and refreshing, flowing down his trachea and making every pore on his body open up.

I'm sorry, I was speaking a little too loudly just now.
