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

To be honest, Lu Yang is now quite used to the system suddenly giving out rewards.

But when he saw the reward details on the panel, he unconsciously sat up straight.

A skill exclusive to the super-rich?!

This was the first time he had ever seen it.

He clicked on the skill details.

[The Power of Money: Consuming spirit stones can temporarily boost your cultivation level, with no upper limit and no side effects. (For someone as wealthy as you, money is power!)]

Lu Yang's eyes widened immediately, a look of surprise appearing in them.

Consume spirit stones to increase your cultivation level?

Isn't this similar to the secret technique of burning essence and blood?

However, the secret technique of burning essence and blood has extremely serious side effects.

Even if it's just a small amount of burning, you'll need to rest for a long time afterwards, feeling completely exhausted as if you've just recovered from a serious illness.

If a large amount of essence blood is burned, it will directly damage the source. At best, one's cultivation will not progress any further; at worst, one's lifespan will be shortened.

But the power of money is entirely different.

It does not consume your life essence, does not harm your body, and only consumes spirit stones.

Moreover, there is no upper limit and no side effects whatsoever!

This means that as long as Lu Yang has enough spirit stones, he can temporarily raise his cultivation level to an extremely terrifying height!

Wouldn't that mean he could even advance to the level of an immortal, or even an immortal emperor?

Lu Yang gasped.

I just don't know how much spirit stone is consumed.

He has over three million low-grade spirit stones in his possession. I wonder what level he can raise his cultivation to?

Lu Yang was actually a little curious.

But you can't just burn all three million low-grade spirit stones out of curiosity.

This is somewhat of a waste.

I'll try it again when I have the chance later.

Lu Yang took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed his curiosity.

…………

Two years passed in one night, and as soon as midnight arrived, subtle fluctuations came from Lu Yang's sea of ​​consciousness.

Lu Yang took out the sect token, and a series of audio transmissions appeared on it.

The first message was from Lin Ying, her voice as gentle and soft as ever: "Junior Brother Lu, wishing you a happy and prosperous New Year!"

Lu Yang's lips curled into a slight smile as he lightly touched the token with his fingertips, replying, "Happy New Year, Senior Sister Lin. Did you miss me?"

Lin Ying's voice came again shortly after, her voice tinged with shyness and nervousness: "...I have thought about it."

Lu Yang was satisfied, a gentle smile on his face: "I missed you too."

Besides Lin Ying, Qin Nanyue also sent a telepathic message. Her voice was as spirited and crisp as ever: "Junior Brother Lu, the path to immortality is long. In the new year, I hope your cultivation will improve."

Lu Yang's eyes flashed, and he chuckled, "Thank you, Senior Sister Qin. I hope that in the new year, Senior Sister Qin can break through to the Foundation Establishment stage and become an inner disciple."

Qin Nanyue quickly replied via telepathy: "Haha, thank you for your kind words!"

Before Lu Yang could reply, Qin Nanyue's voice transmission popped up again. This time, her tone was lowered, carrying a subtle teasing: "Junior Brother Lu, I've been communicating with Yingying via voice transmission these past two days, and I feel like that girl is acting a bit strange. Did something happen between you two that you didn't tell me about?"

Lu Yang raised an eyebrow, a mischievous smile playing on his lips, and replied, "Some things have happened. Senior Sister Lin is now my Daoist partner."

After the message was sent, Qin Nanyue remained silent for a long time without responding.

Lu Yang then looked at the other transmitted messages.

Wang Siyuan, Zhao Qingshan, and even Xiao Changli sent New Year's greetings.

Lu Yang replied to each one carefully.

Especially Xiao Changli, after all, he is a Golden Core elder of the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect, and at the peak of the Golden Core stage.

Although Lu Yang now has Wang Da, who is at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, he is not afraid of the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect even on his own.

However, he still needs to cultivate at the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect and learn its techniques and spells.

Maintaining a good relationship with Xiao Changli would only bring him benefits, not harm.

Besides them, Liu Yaoyao and Mu Yunxue also sent messages.

The messages from both of my senior uncles were quite formulaic.

Liu Yaoyao's voice was as languid and deep as ever, with a hint of huskiness, making it incredibly alluring: "Junior Nephew Lu, Happy New Year! I wish you another breakthrough in your cultivation this year! Also, your grand-uncle will be waiting for you at the auction~~"

Mu Yunxue's voice was stiff and cold, like ice. Anyone who didn't know better would think it was a death notice from an enemy.

"Happy New Year."

Even the blessings were just four simple words.

Lu Yang even suspected that, given Mu Yunxue's personality, she would never send such a New Year's greeting.

It's possible that Elder Xiao Changli persuaded her to post it.

Lu Yang smiled and transmitted his voice to Liu Yaoyao, "Thank you, Martial Aunt Liu. I will definitely attend the auction this year. If there are any good items, please let me know in advance."

He then transmitted his voice to Mu Yunxue: "Happy New Year, Martial Aunt Mu."

Lu Yang doesn't have much interaction with these two senior uncles, nor have they talked much.

It was just a simple greeting between them.

In situations where there's no common ground, forcing yourself into an awkward conversation is more likely to annoy people; it's best to keep it brief and to the point.

Just as Lu Yang was about to put away the sect token, Qin Nanyue, who had been silent for a long time, sent another message. Her voice was filled with complex emotions, as if she was trying hard to maintain a carefree tone.

"Wow, Yingying and I were best friends, inseparable, but you, my wicked junior brother, have meddled in our lives! My standing in Yingying's heart is definitely going to drop further and further, it makes me so angry!"

Lu Yang raised an eyebrow and said with a mischievous smile, "Senior Sister Qin, are you afraid of being alienated by Senior Sister Lin? Why don't you join us?"

Qin Nanyue replied quickly this time, her voice a bit loud, still crisp, but trembling slightly, sounding somewhat guilty: "You big pervert! You were already eyeing us sisters before! Now that you're already pregnant with Yingying, you still dare to say such things! If Yingying gets hurt, be careful, your senior sister will beat you up!"

Lu Yang seemed to realize something, and said with a half-smile, "I'm not bragging, but to be honest, I don't think you, Senior Sister Qin, are necessarily my match."

Qin Nanyue's voice rang out, tinged with anger: "I'm no match for you?! You brat, your senior sister is at the peak of Qi Refining, and that's no joke! Besides, I don't practice ordinary techniques!"

Lu Yang laughed and said, "How about this, when we get back to the sect, we can find a place to spar?"

Qin Nanyue immediately agreed, her words filled with resentment at being provoked: "Fine! You wait! Just you wait! I'll show you what I'm made of!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yang smiled slightly.

Now that Senior Sister Lin already has 100 points of favorability, Lu Yang naturally hopes to increase Senior Sister Qin's favorability as well.

He glanced at Senior Sister Qin's favorability rating.

It's still at 79 points, no change.

After returning to their sect, the two found a private place to spar alone and exchange ideas.

Try to raise Senior Sister Qin's favorability to over 80 points as soon as possible.

…………

Day two.

New Year's Day.

The morning light spilled over from the ridge of Dongwang Mountain, making the red silk and spirit lamps of the Lu family mansion shine brightly.

Lu Yang got up early and, together with his clansmen, paid his respects to the clan elders, then put up couplets, set up an offering table, and worshipped the ancestors.

After going through the entire set of New Year customs, it was almost noon.

After lunch, it's time for complete relaxation and leisure.

Even Lu Yang, aside from completing his daily tasks without fail, did not rush to cultivate day and night.

The path to immortality is long, but one must take a break when necessary.

He accompanied his parents down the mountain to visit Dongwang Town, where they watched ordinary people perform dragon lantern dances; or he would stroll with Lu Cheng and Lu Bai in the market, munching on melon seeds at a tea stall and watching the bustling activity in the market; occasionally, he would run around the yard with Lu Hongdou, making the little girl giggle.

Of course, Lu Yang continued his cultivation as usual in the evening.

Although he had been somewhat lazy these past few days, Lin Ying clearly hadn't rested.

Lu Yang often felt spiritual energy flowing into his body out of thin air, and his cultivation level was gradually increasing.

This is feedback from Lin Ying, who is cultivating.

Time flies by.

Lu Yang originally planned to leave home on the fifth day of the first lunar month, but in the past few days, he had been in contact with Lin Ying through the sect token and missed his gentle and considerate senior sister more and more.

In particular, Lu Yang also sensed that Senior Sister Lin missed him, so on the third day of the Lunar New Year, Lu Yang bid farewell to the Lu family and prepared to return to the sect.
