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

Lu Yang was not at all surprised by Mo Qianyun's question.

After all, he is still inside the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect, and it's impossible for no one from the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect to come over.

Such a huge change in spiritual energy concentration could not be hidden from others.

He didn't intend to hide it.

"I did it." Lu Yang nodded with a light laugh, his tone casual.

Mo Qianyun's pupils dilated sharply.

As expected of Young Master Lu...

Although Mo Qianyun had suspected it before, hearing Lu Yang's admission with her own ears still sent shockwaves through her heart.

Within two days, the spiritual energy concentration of a mountain peak increased tenfold out of thin air, without even needing the aid of spiritual veins...

She had never even heard of such a method.

She swallowed hard, carefully choosing her words, and slowly asked, "Young Master Lu, will this change of yours have any impact on the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect...?"

She asked the question with great restraint, but Lu Yang could hear the real worry in her voice.

He smiled slightly: "Don't worry, this change will not have any impact on the sect's spiritual veins."

Mo Qianyun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

She was initially worried that perhaps Young Master Lu Yang had directly extracted the spiritual energy from the spiritual veins.

Such an event could result in the spiritual veins being downgraded at best, or even collapsing at worst, shaking the very foundation of the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect.

Since Lu Yang said there was no problem, Mo Qianyun naturally believed him.

After all, given Lu Yang's status, there was no reason for him to lie to her.

Mo Qianyun did not press the matter further, as asking any more questions might involve Young Master Lu's secrets.

For cultivators, the more they know, the more dangerous it may be.

After that, all she needed to do was inform the Sect Leader about it.

As for how Zhenjun will handle it, that's beyond the control of an elder in the affairs hall.

Mo Qianyun gathered her thoughts, turned to Jiang Shiqing, and her expression had returned to its friendly state: "Miss Shiqing, let's go."

Jiang Shiqing nodded quickly: "Okay."

…………

The two walked out of the cave one after the other.

The morning light had completely broken free from the clouds in the east.

The mist grew even thicker under the sunlight, as if it had been boiled by the sun, churning endlessly on the mountainside.

Mo Qianyun stopped at the entrance of the cave, glanced at Jiang Shiqing, and considering Jiang Shiqing's Qi Refining stage cultivation, she said softly, "Miss Shiqing, shall I take you there on my sword? If we use escape techniques, the distance is still a bit far."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shiqing paused for a moment, but quickly understood what Mo Qianyun meant.

She was about to nod in agreement when she suddenly remembered something.

She called softly, "Senior Eleven."

As soon as she finished speaking, a cluster of orange-red flames suddenly ignited beside Jiang Shiqing without warning.

The flames flashed for a moment before transforming into the appearance of a middle-aged female cultivator.

With plain features and a deep, composed aura, he stood motionless in the morning light.

After Wang Shiyi appeared, he bowed slightly to Jiang Shiqing and said respectfully, "Young Madam."

Upon hearing Wang Shiyi's address, Jiang Shiqing's pretty face flushed red, the color spreading from her cheeks all the way to the roots of her neck.

Her heart was bubbling with sweetness, but she was also a little nervous. She waved her hands repeatedly and said, "I...I'm not the young master's wife...I'm just his personal maid...Eleventh Senior, just call me Shiqing."

Wang Shiyi paused for a moment, then spoke with his usual respectful tone: "If you wish, then Shiyi may be addressed as such."

As a bodyguard puppet, Wang Shiyi knew that Jiang Shiqing was Lu Yang's woman, and in her eyes, she was naturally considered the young mistress.

However, Wang Shiyi's first master was Lu Yang, and his second master was Jiang Shiqing.

As long as Jiang Shiqing's orders do not violate the orders of the primary master, Lu Yang, she must obey them.

Jiang Shiqing nodded quickly and said, "Yes! Senior Eleven, just call me Shiqing."

The two went back and forth discussing how to address each other, while Mo Qianyun, who was standing to the side, was completely numb.

She stood frozen in place, her gaze sweeping over Wang Shiyi again and again.

This guy is a top-tier expert at the peak of the Golden Core stage!

Moreover, even the few Golden Core Peak Elders in the sect did not give her such a strong sense of danger!

It's like a sword blade pressed two inches from your throat; though it hasn't touched you yet, the chill has already penetrated to the bone.

This eleventh prince's strength is probably on a completely different level from those Golden Core Peak Elders in their sect!

Such a powerful being is actually so respectful to this mid-stage Qi Refining maid?!

They even have to obey her orders regarding how they are addressed?

Is this fake?

Mo Qianyun blinked hard to make sure she wasn't dreaming.

If it were Young Master Lu, she could completely understand why Eleven was so respectful.

The problem is, Jiang Shiqing is just Lu Yang's personal maid!

Even if she is Lu Yang's woman, she is still his personal maid!

The difference between these two is huge!

Mo Qianyun's lips twitched slightly, and her voice trembled slightly as she asked softly, "Miss Shiqing... and who is this?"

Jiang Shiqing quickly explained, "Elder Mo, this is Senior Wang Shiyi, he is... he is the protector that Young Master arranged for me."

Mo Qianyun: "??????"

Her mind was overflowing with questions.

What is that??

Assigning a protector to one's personal maid?

Or is it a protector who stands at the pinnacle of the Golden Core stage?

What kind of divine treatment is this?!

For a fleeting moment, she even wished she could run back and ask Young Master Lu if he needed a personal maid.

Seeing Mo Qianyun standing there in a daze, Jiang Shiqing asked, "Elder Mo, is it alright if I ask Senior Eleven to take me there?"

"Of course, no problem!" Mo Qianyun snapped out of her daze, forced a smile, and nodded rapidly.

Jiang Shiqing smiled at Wang Shiyi and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Senior Shiyi."

Wang Shiyi's expression was calm as water, and he said in a serious tone, "Your orders are the meaning of my existence, so there's no need to find them troublesome."

Mo Qianyun: "..."

She was internally cursing.

No way... How could a top expert at the peak of the Golden Core stage be so humble?!

So, my existence is just to carry out Jiang Shiqing's orders?!

If even such a powerful figure exists for this reason, then what is the purpose of her existence?

Consuming spiritual energy to create garbage?!

Overwhelmed with grief, Mo Qianyun felt as if her Dao heart was about to shatter.

Jiang Shiqing was taken aback by Wang Shiyi's words and was momentarily at a loss for words.

But she felt even sweeter inside.

The reason this senior treats her with such respect must be because of the young master.

The young master is so good to her.

Hmm... I must thank you properly, young master, after I recover!

However... I'm afraid it would be difficult for me to satisfy the young master by myself... I wonder if Madam would be willing to come with her?

It would be acceptable for her to give the lady a push...

Cough... It's definitely not because she wanted to play!

As Jiang Shiqing thought about it, her pretty face turned bright red.

She shook her head violently, trying to clear the jumbled thoughts from her mind.

"Then... let's go!"

Mo Qianyun glanced at Jiang Shiqing with some confusion.

Why are you blushing all of a sudden?

I don't quite understand.

However, she dared not underestimate this mid-stage Qi Refining maid even more now, and quickly put on an extremely enthusiastic smile: "Okay, Miss Shiqing, please follow me."

She made a sword gesture, and a streak of cyan sword light flew out from her sleeve and hovered steadily at her feet.

She stepped onto the sword, her clothes fluttering in the morning breeze.

Wang Shiyi raised one hand, and a ball of orange-red flame surged from her palm, enveloping her and Jiang Shiqing.

The flames looked scorching hot, but standing inside them felt only warm and not hot at all.

Two streaks of light streaked across the sky one after the other, flying towards the direction of the sect's affairs hall.

The morning light stretched their shadows into two thin lines, which quickly disappeared on the eastern horizon.

…………

Just as two streaks of light swept across the sky, Lin Ying and Qin Nanyue walked side by side on the mountain path below.

The dew on the bluestone path had not completely evaporated, and it was sparkling in the morning light, making it slightly slippery to walk on.

Dewdrops from the previous night clung to the pine branches by the roadside, and occasionally one, unable to bear the weight, would roll down and shatter on the stone slab.

Qin Nanyue complained as she walked, "Waaah! You could have just gone back by yourself, why did you have to drag me along? I still need to cultivate!"

She's now seriously preparing for her sparring match with Lu Yang.

Last night, while the two best friends were sharing a bed and talking late into the night by candlelight, Qin Nanyue, with a hint of probing, told Lin Ying about her plan to spar with Lu Yang.

She actually wanted to see if Lin Ying would get jealous.

If Lin Ying gets jealous, she will refuse Lu Yang's challenge, even though she will be reluctant.

But Lin Ying's reaction left her somewhat puzzled.

Lin Ying readily agreed, and even begged her to hold back and not hurt Lu Yang.

Qin Nanyue naturally had no intention of hurting Lu Yang.

She wanted to show that this big pervert, Lin Ying, that she and Lin Ying weren't easy to bully.

As a result, she always felt that Lin Ying was hiding something from her, because Lin Ying's eyes looked a little strange at the time.

It was the kind of look you get when you're watching a good show.

Qin Nanyue and Lin Ying have known each other for many years, and have been inseparable since the year they entered the school.

She knew exactly where every mole was on Lin Ying's body.

For this reason, she was almost certain that Yingying was hiding something from her.

Perhaps Lu Yang, that big pervert, is stronger than she imagined?

That's not impossible.

After all, that guy's identity is mysterious, and the cultivation techniques he practices must be extraordinary.

However, she is still confident in herself.

After all, she was at the peak of Qi Refining, just one step away from Foundation Establishment.

Lu Yang had only broken through to the mid-stage of Qi Refining less than two months ago.

How could I possibly lose to him?

It just takes a little more effort.

However, just in case, she plans to hone her skills for the next few days to see if she can improve them a bit more before the sparring match.

Unexpectedly, early this morning, Lin Ying dragged her out of bed and pulled her directly towards Lu Yang's mountain peak.

What are you doing here?

Are you watching Lin Ying and that lecherous wolf being all lovey-dovey?

Lin Ying smiled gently, her voice soft and gentle: "Junior Brother Lu asked me to bring you along."

Upon hearing that it was Lu Yang who said it, Qin Nanyue opened her mouth, crossed her arms, and snorted softly, "He said it... Oh well, I'll just give him face then."

Lin Ying: "?"

A half-smile appeared on her gentle face as she said, "My reputation isn't as important as Junior Brother Lu's? Nan Yue, you're not even married yet, and your heart is already biased?"

Qin Nanyue: "!!!!!"

Qin Nanyue's heart skipped a beat, but she forced a smile and quickly explained, "How could that be?! We're so close, there's no need for any formalities. That guy is of high status, I have to be careful, right?"

Lin Ying narrowed her eyes, her gaze slowly sweeping over Qin Nanyue's face: "Is that so?"

Qin Nanyue nodded vigorously, forcing herself to say, "Yes!"

Lin Ying looked at her guilty yet stubborn appearance, and a smile flashed in her eyes.

It seems that Nan Yue has already fallen?

That's great! Before long, I'll have another helper!

Lin Ying smiled and quickened her pace, her skirt brushing against the dew-covered grass by the roadside, making a soft rustling sound.

"Let's go!" Her voice carried a hint of lightness.

As Qin Nanyue watched Lin Ying's retreating figure, she felt that her gentle and kind best friend was hiding something from her.

But she felt a little guilty and didn't dare to ask any more questions, so she quickened her pace to catch up.

"Sakura, wait for me!"
