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

Qi Yunshu was not surprised that Lu Yang chose an uninhabited mountain peak.

To be honest, this option was specifically proposed by him considering Lu Yang's special circumstances.

Ordinary disciples who receive direct instruction are not qualified to establish their own schools and temples on their own.

Since she had already made up her mind to establish a good relationship with this young master Lu, she should naturally give generously and in a practical way. Hesitating would only make her seem petty.

Moreover, this mysterious young nobleman must be hiding secrets he doesn't want others to know.

Rather than letting him live on the main peak where there are many people and distractions, it would be better to give him a quiet, secluded mountaintop, which would be convenient for both of us.

Qi Yunshu stroked his beard, his tone gentle and straightforward: "Since Young Master Lu has made his choice, then I will personally take you to find a suitable mountain peak and entrust it to you."

Lu Yang solemnly cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Master."

It must be said that this sect leader is indeed a very decent person.

He had always had a pretty good impression of the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect.

It is a righteous sect with strict rules and good order.

Throughout the many years since Lu Yang joined the sect, even during the most ordinary period before the system awakened, he never suffered any unfair treatment. His monthly salary was always paid on time without any deductions.

This is quite rare among sects in the cultivation world.

Now, the Sect Master has generously presented such a great gift.

Lu Yang's impression of the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect improved even further.

If the opportunity arises in the future, it wouldn't hurt to help this sect.

Seeing Lu Yang's satisfied expression, Qi Yunshu also smiled from the bottom of her heart.

He continued, "Young Master Lu, I suppose you wouldn't be interested in the meager monthly stipend of a personal disciple, so I'll forgo that. However, the privileges of a personal disciple will be fully granted to you. Furthermore, you won't be forced to complete sect missions. I have only one small request: if the sect ever faces a crisis, I hope Young Master Lu will lend a helping hand."

Lu Yang nodded readily: "No problem."

To be honest, given Lu Yang's current earning speed, he really doesn't care about that small monthly salary.

In the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect, the monthly salary of high-ranking disciples only accounts for a small part of their income; the real profits come from mission rewards.

Having the necessary permissions is sufficient.

This means that Lu Yang can exchange for Earth-rank cultivation techniques and spells!

He can finally change his pitiful heavy sword technique!

Does anyone in the family understand this?!

His martial arts skills are even inferior to those of his own puppet bodyguards!

It's so heartbreaking that anyone who hears it will be saddened, and anyone who sees it will be moved to tears!

As for helping the sect in times of crisis, it wasn't a big problem for Lu Yang.

He has a very good impression of the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect now, and as long as it's not a situation where he has to go to his death, he is naturally willing to help.

Qi Yunshu seemed to remember something, glanced at Lu Yang, and said carefully, "By the way, according to the rules, a normal direct disciple has an elder as their master. But Young Master Lu, your status is special. Whether or not you become a disciple is up to you. If you are willing, even the Supreme Elder or I can be your master."

Under normal circumstances, a disciple of the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect must formally become an apprentice.

After all, the master-disciple relationship is one of the most stable and intimate relationships in the cultivation world, maintaining the inheritance and balance within the sect.

However, Lu Yang's situation is truly exceptional!

His background is mysterious and profound; who knows if he has a powerful and influential figure guiding him?

If he rashly arranged for an elder to be his master, what if he offended that unknown being? Wouldn't he be asking for trouble?

Therefore, Qi Yunshu simply handed the choice over to Lu Yang himself.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yang thought for a moment and quickly made a decision: "Then I won't become your disciple."

To be honest, Lu Yang doesn't need his master at all for cultivation.

The purpose of ordinary cultivators seeking a master is very simple.

Firstly, the cultivation resources provided by the Master.

But let alone Golden Core elders, even Nascent Soul stage elders probably aren't as wealthy as him.

Secondly, the master acts as a support for the disciple.

However, Wang Da was stronger than the Supreme Elders of the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect, so this point was of no use to him either.

Thirdly, the Master can answer questions and resolve doubts in cultivation, and impart knowledge and skills.

This was originally the only thing Lu Yang might need.

However, his current comprehension is astonishingly high. He can directly add points to his cultivation techniques using experience. Most importantly, he can experience every detail of the breakthrough in advance through the "power of money".

If he didn't have this unique skill, he might have considered becoming an apprentice.

In this way, I can learn from my master's breakthrough experience and accumulate some foundation for my own breakthrough.

But Lu Yang doesn't need that now.

Since becoming an apprentice would bring Lu Yang no benefit, there would naturally be no need for him to do so.

Qi Yunshu was actually a little disappointed when she saw that Lu Yang refused so decisively.

After all, if Lu Yang really became a disciple of the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect, then he would have a genuine bond with the sect.

However, besides disappointment, he felt more relieved than expected.

The fact that this young master Lu has no interest in becoming an apprentice precisely proves that there is indeed a lineage behind him.

He nodded, not pressuring him: "Since Young Master Lu is unwilling to become a disciple, then let's drop the matter. The authority of the personal disciple remains unchanged, and the position of master will remain vacant."

That concludes our discussion of the important matters.

The two strolled slowly down the spiral staircase, and once the atmosphere relaxed, they began to chat about trivial matters.

Qi Yunshu asked Lu Yang about his time at the entrance of the mountain peak.

After all, Lu Yang was a registered disciple of the sect, and his trajectory since entering the sect was clearly traceable. He had stayed on the initiation peak for more than four years.

He was indeed curious as to why a young man of such high status had stayed in the outer sect for so long.

Lu Yang could naturally tell that the old True Monarch's words carried a hint of probing.

He simply smiled and said that his talent was limited, and he had only managed to break through to the mid-stage of Qi Refining after giving it his all.

Then Lu Yang clearly saw that Qi Yunshu's expression was a bit stiff and her mouth kept twitching, so he quietly changed the subject.

Lu Yang felt completely innocent.

He was telling the truth!

Qi Yunshu then asked Lu Yang about his views on some of the sect's systems.

They even discussed their profound understanding of the Dao of Gold and the Dao of Sword.

The Jin Yang Mountains are rich in golden energy, making them a blessed land for cultivators of the Golden Path. Qi Yunshu himself is a Nascent Soul True Monarch who mainly cultivates the Golden Path, so he is naturally more interested in talking about this than anything else.

Lu Yang had been diligently studying the Dao patterns of the Dao of Metal and the Dao of Sword, and took this opportunity to humbly seek guidance on some issues that he had not yet fully grasped.

When Qi Yunshu heard Lu Yang express his understanding of the Way of Gold, her heart was in turmoil.

Even though he had lived for over seven hundred years and seen countless brilliant geniuses, this was the first time he had ever seen a young cultivator in the mid-stage of Qi Refining who could have such a clear understanding of the laws of the Great Dao!

He even made a comparison in secret and finally came to a conclusion that left him somewhat bewildered: many of the elders in the sect who were at the Golden Core stage were probably not as good as this outer disciple in terms of their understanding of the Golden Dao!

Since Lu Yang took the initiative to ask for guidance, Qi Yunshu was generous in sharing his insights, recounting the wisdom he had accumulated over hundreds of years of cultivating the Dao of Alchemy.

He majored in the Way of Metal and did not delve into the Way of the Sword, so he only talked about the Way of Metal.

Each point is presented in a simple and easy-to-understand way. A few words picked up casually are equivalent to the effort that an ordinary Golden Core cultivator would spend years figuring out on their own.

Lu Yang listened with great eagerness.

Every word Qi Yunshu uttered corroborated the Dao patterns in his mind that he had not yet fully digested.

Those places that were originally somewhat blurry gradually became clear and distinct under the personal guidance of the Golden Rainbow Sect Leader.

Those parts that have already been understood have gained new insights due to being explained from different perspectives.

With his astonishing comprehension brought about by his near-ten-point intelligence, he was able to deduce new insights in his mind almost within moments of Qi Yunshu finishing a passage.

[The host engaged in a profound discussion with Qi Yunshu, the True Monarch of the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect, gaining many insights and experiencing a surge of inspiration. The host has obtained: 1 Low-Level Puppet Upgrade Card, and the Luck Attribute: Golden Thread Robe.]

Lu Yang's eyes lit up, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up.

I never expected that I could receive a reward for discussing the Dao with the sect leader?

And to make matters worse, they even rewarded me with a low-level puppet upgrade card!

Lu Yang has personally verified just how powerful this thing is!

Without any side effects, it directly elevates a puppet to a higher realm!

Wang Da is now able to stand at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage and be on equal footing with Qi Yunshu, all thanks to this!

Now that he has another one, he can produce another Nascent Soul stage puppet!

Not only that, there's also a new luck-related entry!

Judging from the name, it should be a term for the Golden Dao that was summarized by the author during this discussion, combining Qi Yunshu's guidance with his own insights.

It has to be said that the Sect Master is truly his lucky star!

Lu Yang's gaze towards Qi Yunshu couldn't help but carry a hint of genuine kindness.

That gaze was even warmer than before.

As a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, Qi Yunshu naturally possessed extremely keen senses.

He noticed Lu Yang's emotional change almost immediately.

Lu Yang's mood seemed to inexplicably improve, and even the way he looked at him became more affectionate.

Qi Yunshu assumed that the two had hit it off and that this young master Lu had developed a better impression of him, which naturally pleased him.

He stroked his beard and casually made a small joke: "Young Master Lu seems to be in a good mood. Could it be that after discussing the Dao with me, you've gained some new insights into the Dao of Metal?"

Lu Yang was slightly taken aback, glanced at Qi Yunshu with some surprise, and nodded with a light smile, saying, "The Sect Leader is truly insightful, noticing this all along? I have indeed gained some insights. It's all thanks to the Sect Leader's guidance."

Qi Yunshu: "?"

His smile froze instantly, and the fingers twirling his beard hovered in mid-air for a long while before slowly lowering them.

no……

I was just making a casual joke, and you actually took it to heart?

And judging from your expression, it seems you've gained quite a bit of insight?!

Then why don't I have any new insights of my own?!
