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

[The Confidence of a Tycoon (Level 8): Gain 128 low-grade spirit stones every hour (Money is the foundation of becoming a tycoon; spending 1500 million low-grade spirit stones will upgrade this level)]

128 low-grade spirit stones per hour, which adds up to more than 550,000 per year!

This is almost equivalent to the total annual income of the entire Miaoshou Pharmacy.

You should know that Miaoshou Pharmacy has dozens of branches, spanning seven countries!

The effort and energy required to run a chain of medicine shops that are located all over the country is unimaginable to outsiders.

Procurement of spiritual herbs, training of alchemists, operation of shops, and managing various forces... every link must be flawless.

Lu Yang's income is entirely passive, requiring no effort whatsoever!

Of course, the number of spirit stones required for the next upgrade will be very high.

A full million!

If one were to rely solely on the wealth accumulated through sheer riches, it would take over twenty years to build up that wealth.

Fortunately, the wealth of the super-rich is only a small part of Lu Yang's income.

He even has enough spirit stones to upgrade right now.

Continuing to use the power of money to consume spirit stones is definitely not appropriate, after all, the insights gained from the previous late-stage Golden Core realm have not yet been fully digested, and it's best not to bite off more than you can chew.

It seems I need to find someone to help me find some ways to make a lot of money.

Otherwise, I wouldn't know how to spend my money.

Lu Yang shook his head, temporarily suppressing these distracting thoughts.

He sat cross-legged on the jade array plate in the cultivation room, closed his eyes, and immersed himself in the subtle understanding of the laws of metal and sword.

…………

Jinyang Mountain Range.

A thin layer of golden mist lingered in the mountains.

That was formed from the overflowing golden energy deep within the mountains; when it was exposed to sunlight, it looked like scattered gold dust in the air.

When the mountain wind passes through, most of its chill is dispelled by the golden energy, leaving only a cool sensation on the body.

The New Year had just passed, and the disciples who had gone home to visit their families for the holiday were returning one after another.

A disciple from an ordinary family rode a black-scaled horse, slowly making his way towards the mountain gate along the winding mountain path, the horse's hooves making a crisp clattering sound on the gravel road.

Some scions of noble families also flew across the sky in flying boats or rode demonic beasts, leaving trails of spiritual light in the clouds.

The Jinyang Mountains, which had been quiet for more than half a month, have become lively again in the past two days.

The sounds of laughter and conversation on the mountain path, the whooshing sound of flying boats cutting through the wind in the sky, and the faint clamor from the distant market all blended together, filling the air with the vitality of the beginning of the new year.

The Qin family's flying boat was slowly entering the area of ​​the Jinyang Mountains.

Qin Huan, Qin Yun, Qin Ming, Qin Xiaohe, Qin Lan, and Qin Nanyue stood on the deck, enjoying the mountain breeze and talking.

Qin Lan leaned against the ship's railing, her adorable doll-like face showing a mysterious excitement.

She lowered her voice, as if to share some earth-shattering secret: "A friend of mine in the inner sect said that something terrible has happened to the Li family! Have you heard?"

Qin Yun raised an eyebrow slightly, chuckled, and leaned closer: "I've heard that the Li family seems to have closed their mountain during the Spring Festival this year, completely shutting themselves off from visitors. Even the aristocratic families and cultivators who have always been close to the Li family were turned away when they tried to visit."

Upon hearing this, Qin Nanyue and the others immediately showed interest.

Qin Nanyue leaned against the ship's railing with her arms crossed, the mountain wind making the stray hairs on her forehead sway.

Her eyes held curiosity: "The Li family is very powerful, so why have they suddenly closed their doors to visitors, not even during a major holiday like the New Year, and stopped interacting with their allies?"

"Yes, could it be that we've offended someone?" Qin Huan frowned slightly, his fingers unconsciously tapping the wooden handrail on the ship's side.

He was the oldest among them, and he tended to think things through deeply.

"I don't know the specifics either. It seems the Li family has blocked the news, and no one has found out anything yet." Qin Yun shrugged, indicating his confusion.

Qin Lan chuckled, her expression one of excitement as if she'd stumbled upon some juicy gossip: "I have some inside information, do you want to hear it?"

Qin Huan and the others immediately turned to look at her.

Qin Xiaohe grabbed Qin Lan impatiently, roughly pinching her round, baby-faced cheek, and threatened fiercely, "You still dare to keep me in suspense?! Tell me now!"

Qin Lan struggled to break free from her older sister's clutches, covered her cheeks, and raised her hands in surrender: "I'll talk! I'll talk! I heard from someone that someone saw a young member of the Li family who had just joined the sect seem to have offended someone he shouldn't have, which alarmed the higher-ups of the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect."

Upon hearing this, Qin Nanyue and the others were taken aback.

Qin Huan's expression became somewhat subtle: "...A disciple of the Li family who has just entered the initial stage? That means he's only at the Qi Refining stage? Surely the Li family's disciples aren't that foolish? How could they offend someone who would alarm the sect's higher-ups?"

Others were also very puzzled.

As scions of prominent families, regardless of their temperament, these basic survival rules have been instilled in them countless times since childhood.

After all, in the world of cultivation, you can never be sure what kind of great god is standing behind the plain-looking person in front of you.

Therefore, any scion of a prominent family with a modicum of sense would not casually offend someone whose background is unknown to the point of wanton destruction.

"And... why would a newbie like him get involved with people in this kind of circle?"

In the eyes of the Qin family members, someone who could alarm the higher-ups of the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect should be someone a junior who has just entered the sect should not even be able to come into contact with.

Qin Lan shook her head and spread her hands: "I don't know either. I already said it's just a rumor. I heard that someone saw it from a distance. He seemed to have seen that Li family member before, so the news spread."

At this point, Qin Lan paused, as if remembering something, and added, "Oh, right, that person also said that the important figure who was offended seems to have a flying boat a hundred feet long, extremely magnificent and luxurious!"

There was a moment of silence on the deck.

Qin Huan and the others exchanged glances, their expressions turning somewhat strange.

Qin Xiaohe rolled her eyes first, speechless, "This rumor is getting more and more outrageous. A hundred-zhang flying boat... The entire Golden Rainbow Sword Sect only has one flying boat of that level, right? It couldn't be that they offended our sect leader or a supreme elder, could it?"

Qin Huan couldn't help but chuckle and shook his head, clearly not taking the latter part of the statement seriously.

That's so fake.

How could a newly initiated Qi Refining disciple provoke the sect leader or a senior elder of the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect?

If someone said that, even a three-year-old wouldn't believe it.

Just as everyone finished laughing and was about to change the subject, they suddenly felt that the wind pressure seemed to have increased.

The wind came from afar, growing stronger and stronger. It whipped the long hair of several people on the deck back, filling their robes and billowing them in the wind.

Qin Ming, who had been standing silently in the corner, suddenly stiffened.

His eyes widened suddenly, and his usually taciturn and expressionless face now looked as if he had seen a ghost, his expression completely broken.

His lips trembled incessantly, his fingers shakily rose to point to the distant clouds, but not a single word came out of his throat.

At the same time, Wang Yin appeared before everyone without warning.

The Qin family's retainer was as pale as a sheet, with cold sweat pouring down his forehead and trickling down his temples.

Even his body was trembling slightly!

The others noticed something was wrong and turned to look in the direction Qin Ming was pointing.

Then they saw the thick clouds being split open.

As the clouds rolled and receded to both sides, a huge flying boat slowly emerged from the crack.

The array patterns flowing on the flying boat were magnificent and beautiful, with densely packed runes layered upon each other, radiating a soft seven-colored brilliance that refracted into a dreamlike halo amidst the surging clouds.

It's as if a celestial vessel has descended upon the world!

Not far in front of this giant flying boat were two smaller flying boats.

The small flying boat shook violently a few times, then hurriedly dodged to the sides at top speed.

The surrounding monsters flapped their wings frantically and fled in all directions, creating a chaotic cacophony of flapping wings.

The entire sky fell silent as the giant airship appeared, with only the howling winds high above remaining.

"????"

The Qin family members felt their minds go blank and stood there dumbfounded.

After an unknown amount of time, Qin Lan suddenly felt as if something had struck the top of her head, and her body jolted violently.

She recalled what she had just said, her lips twitched violently, she swallowed hard, and her voice was terribly dry: "...That rumor, it seems, isn't false?"

Everyone suddenly came to their senses.

Qin Yun gasped, somewhat incredulously exclaiming, "My goodness! Who is this person?!"

No one could answer him.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the giant airship that was slowly approaching, and they unconsciously held their breath.

Wang Yin's expression was serious. He forcibly suppressed the turmoil in his heart and hurriedly said, "Gentlemen and ladies, let's keep our distance so as not to offend the important figures up there!"

Qin Nanyue and the others then seemed to wake from a dream and nodded in agreement.

Just as Wang Yin was about to change the direction of the flying boat, they saw that the flying boat had changed direction and was heading towards them.

The Qin family members froze, their faces turning pale.

Qin Huan's lips twitched, somewhat incredulous, her voice hoarse: "This...it's coming this way! Uncle Wang, please make way!"

The others also had sweaty palms and goosebumps all over their bodies.

Although they didn't know what was going on with this airship, how could they dare not let it come this way?!

Although the Qin family was not weak, they dared not stand in the way of a powerful figure who possessed such a flying boat!

Wang Yin nodded repeatedly, his forehead covered in sweat.

Just as he was gathering his spiritual power to activate the flying boat, he suddenly sensed a familiar wave of divine sense sweeping over him.

The divine sense was neither sharp nor oppressive; it simply swept across the area lightly before withdrawing.

But Wang Yin was frozen in place as if he had been frozen in place.

His eyes were filled with disbelief as he stared intently at the approaching airship.

He remembered that fluctuation of divine sense all too clearly!

It was when he came to the market to pick someone up before the New Year, intending to use his divine sense to locate the Seventh Miss's friend, that the fluctuation of his divine sense appeared!
