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

Lin Ying looked at Lu Yang's smile and was momentarily dazed.

I feel like this junior brother looks even better after not seeing him for a few days.

The boy stood in the morning light. His features were still the same, but every detail was just right.

She suppressed the slight unease in her heart, her expression remaining gentle and composed as she smiled and nodded, "Yes, what kind of pills does Junior Brother want today?"

"Qi-Nourishing Pills, please." Lu Yang said decisively without hesitation, "Give me a lot this time, ten bottles."

He planned to use the cashback card directly with this purchase.

The more you spend, the more you get back.

Moreover, Qi-Nourishing Pills are an absolute necessity for those in the Qi Refining stage. Ten bottles may seem like a lot, but with his current cultivation speed, he will finish them off in no time.

Lin Ying was taken aback upon hearing this, then said somewhat embarrassedly in a soft voice, "But I only have five bottles here right now..."

The refining of Qi-Nourishing Pills is quite laborious.

Although her alchemy skills were quite good, after completing the sect's monthly alchemy tasks, she also had to take care of her own cultivation in the remaining time, so the finished products she could produce were really limited.

I only brought five bottles with me to the stall today; I can't bring out one more.

Lu Yang waved his hand casually, "It's alright, I'll take five bottles first, and give me the rest after Senior Sister finishes refining them. Let's make the transaction ten bottles."

"How can that be?" Lin Ying shook her head repeatedly, her expression serious. "Let's settle for five bottles. We can buy more next time Junior Brother needs them."

"Transactions are too troublesome." Lu Yang smiled, meeting her eyes honestly. "I'll give the spirit stones to you first, Senior Sister. Once you've refined them, just deliver them to the introductory disciples' quarters. I trust you won't embezzle them."

Just kidding, he's going to use this deal to trigger the rebate card, how could he only spend the money for five bottles?

Lin Ying's ears burned slightly at his words, "I believe in my senior sister."

She was silent for a moment, then finally nodded gently, her voice soft: "Since Junior Brother Lu trusts me so much, I will go back and continue refining Qi-Nourishing Pills. I will send them to you as soon as they are ready."

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Senior Sister."

Qin Nanyue stood to the side, not saying a word, just quietly listening to the two of them talking back and forth.

When she heard Lu Yang ask for ten bottles of Qi-Nourishing Pills, a hint of surprise rose in her heart.

Ten bottles of Qi-Nourishing Pills would cost over a thousand low-grade spirit stones.

It was nothing to her, of course.

However, very few ordinary Qi Refining stage cultivators can produce this many spirit stones at once.

Moreover, this junior brother was actually willing to pay the full amount first and only take a portion of the pills.

This shows two things: first, he didn't find it difficult to pay the money; second, he truly trusted Yingying.

interesting.

She had never heard of such a disciple before.

Qin Nanyue's mind raced, and she finally couldn't help but speak, her tone tinged with a hint of teasing: "Yingying, who is this junior brother? Aren't you going to introduce him to me?"

Lin Ying snapped out of her daze and quickly introduced, "This is Junior Brother Lu Yang, who is currently still in his assessment period. Junior Brother Lu, this is my best friend, Qin Nanyue, a direct descendant of the Qin family at the Golden Core stage, who ranks among the top ten in the outer sect."

Qin Nanyue's gaze fell on Lu Yang, her eyes filled with undisguised curiosity, and she smiled slightly: "Hello, Junior Brother Lu."

Surname Lu...

She quickly searched her mind.

Under the rule of the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect, which Golden Core family has the surname Lu?

She thought for a long time, but still couldn't find the match.

Lu Yang was quite surprised when he heard Lin Ying's introduction.

The Golden Rainbow Sword Sect has hundreds of thousands of outer disciples. Those who can enter the sect are already geniuses, and at the very least, they have mid-grade spiritual roots.

In addition to this, one must pass an entrance examination to enter the outer gate.

To be ranked in the top ten among the outer gates speaks volumes about its prestige.

He immediately bowed respectfully and said, "Greetings, Senior Sister Qin. Senior Sister Qin is truly amazing."

Qin Nanyue waved her hand, her tone nonchalant: "You flatter me. It's just because my family has some influence."

She then changed the subject, her gaze returning to Lu Yang, "May I ask which family Junior Brother Lu comes from?"

Lu Yang smiled and said, "My family's strength is very average, not as good as Senior Sister Qin's family."

Qin Nanyue pursed her lips slightly, clearly not believing a word of it: "If Junior Brother doesn't want to say, then forget it."

Is the family's strength average?

Can members of ordinary families buy elixirs like this?

She secretly guessed that Lu Yang probably didn't want to reveal his background.

Perhaps he wasn't even from the local forces of the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect, but rather came from the territory of another major sect in Qin Province.

That makes sense.

Seeing Qin Nanyue's completely disbelieving expression, Lu Yang was filled with questions and felt utterly wronged.

He was telling the absolute truth, so why didn't this Senior Sister Qin believe him?

However, this matter was indeed difficult to explain, so he simply stopped dwelling on it and turned to Lin Ying, saying, "Senior Sister, in addition to the Qi Nourishing Pill, give me two more bottles of Qi Recovery Pill."

After buying antidote pills last time, he realized he hadn't prepared any pills to restore his spiritual energy.

I'll just buy them all today.

Lin Ying nodded, took out five bottles of Qi Nourishing Pills and two bottles of Qi Recovery Pills from her storage bag, and neatly arranged them on the stall: "I'll give you a total of 1,600 low-grade spirit stones."

Lu Yang knew what was going on.

This price has definitely been rounded down and discounted.

Without any hesitation, he nodded slightly and took out a large pile of spirit stones from his storage bag, piling them up on the stall.

The low-grade spirit stones were piled up into a small mountain, their spiritual light flickering, attracting the attention of cultivators passing by on the street, their eyes filled with a mixture of envy and curiosity.

Lin Ying calmly put away the spirit stones one by one, her movements swift and composed.

After the transaction was completed, Lu Yang looked up at Lin Ying and suggested with a smile, "Senior Sister, we sold quite a few pills today, why don't we pack up and go for a stroll?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Ying looked up and met Lu Yang's expectant gaze, her ears turning red again, much to her dismay.

She nodded gently: "Alright. You treated me to spiritual food last time, so this time it's my turn to treat you."

Qin Nanyue stood to the side, her expression gradually becoming subtle: "????"

She glanced at Lin Ying, then at Lu Yang.

Lin Ying usually lived frugally, calculating every penny she spent on a few spirit stones, let alone eating spirit food outside.

The spiritual food in the market is much more expensive than in the canteen, yet this girl actually offered to treat others to it?

There's definitely something going on between these two!

Qin Nanyue suddenly felt a pang of sadness. She crossed her arms and said in a drawn-out, soft voice, "Yingying—what about me? Didn't you say you'd treat me too?"

Lin Ying glared at her, then couldn't help but chuckle, "Of course we'll go together. I'll invite you too, okay?"

Qin Nanyue then raised her chin with satisfaction: "That's more like it!"

Lu Yang naturally had no reason to refuse, and smiled, "Then I would be impolite to decline."

Lin Ying quickly tidied up the bottles and jars on the stall, rolled up the stall cloth, and the three of them walked along the bluestone street towards the depths of the market.

As he walked along the road, Lu Yang's thoughts stirred slightly.

Use the low-level rebate card.

[Designated purchase successful. Random reward multiplier: 5. Congratulations, host, you have received 8000 low-grade spirit stones!]

Five times!

He stared at the string of bright numbers on the screen, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled, managing to suppress the overwhelming joy that was about to burst forth.

One thousand six hundred low-grade spirit stones were directly multiplied into a full eight thousand!

That's five times the multiplier, the highest multiplier ever!

If he saved up a little more, he might even have the confidence to try his luck at an auction house and win a top-grade magic artifact.

…………

There are several restaurants in the market that specialize in serving spiritual food.

Among them, the most prestigious is Jin Hong Restaurant, which is directly operated by the sect.

This restaurant is much more impressive than others, even just in terms of its facade.

The three-story pavilion is built against the mountain, with upturned eaves, vermilion pillars and carved railings. Above the main entrance hangs a huge plaque with gold characters on a black background. The four characters "Jin Hong Restaurant" are written with vigorous strokes, and there is a faint sense of sword energy flowing through them.

Even the waiter at the door was a menial disciple of the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect.

Lu Yang already knew about this restaurant.

Disciples of the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect receive a discount when dining here, so most of them choose to eat here when dining out.

He used to be penniless, so he had only heard of the place but had never actually stepped inside.

As he stepped into the restaurant, he was greeted by a faint scent of sandalwood mixed with the fresh aroma of spiritual food, which was refreshing and invigorating.

Lu Yang's gaze swept across the hall, and he noticed that the restaurant's furnishings were quite exquisite.

The beams and pillars are engraved with the sword emblem of the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect, and the four walls are decorated with ink paintings of landscapes with a profound artistic conception.

The tables and chairs are all made of century-old wood, with delicate textures and a subtle translucency.

The hall was very large and had dozens of dining tables.

The room was already full of people, and the air was filled with the aroma of wine and spirits as people sipped their drinks. It was lively but not noisy.

The waiters were all menial disciples, and they had excellent eyesight.

Upon seeing the sect attire worn by the three, one of them immediately stepped forward with a beaming smile: "Senior brothers and sisters, would you prefer a private room or the main hall on the first floor?"

Without a second thought, Lin Ying smiled and said, "A private room, please."

"Alright! Please follow me, all three of you!"

The three followed the waiter up to the second floor, through a corridor, and into a private room called "Autumn Water".

As soon as the door to the private room was opened, the delicate fragrance of sandalwood wafted out.

The room was neither too big nor too small, with a round table made of spirit wood in the center, and light blue gauze curtains hanging on the four walls. The window faced the sea of ​​clouds in the valley, offering a wide view.

Just by looking at the environment, Lu Yang knew that the cost of living in this place was definitely not low.

Qin Nanyue was clearly a regular customer here, and she easily chose a seat by the window.

She rested one arm on the table, propping up her chin, while lazily flipping through the menu with the other hand, her gaze constantly shifting between Lin Ying and Lu Yang.

"Tsk tsk tsk..." she drawled, her eyes full of mischievous amusement, "Our Yingying is actually willing to bleed so much today, how rare, how rare~"

Lin Ying felt flustered by her blatant teasing and subconsciously glanced at Lu Yang.

Seeing that he remained calm and seemed not to have picked up on any hidden meaning, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She glared at Qin Nanyue, annoyed, and gritted her teeth, saying, "Nanyue! You'd better eat more later to shut that mouth of yours!"

After saying that, she turned to Lu Yang, her tone softening again: "Junior Brother Lu, you can order the food."

Qin Nanyue propped her cheek up with one hand, her gaze fixed on Lu Yang with interest, but she didn't say anything to stop him.

She had eaten at Jin Hong Restaurant countless times, so whether she ordered food or not was of no concern to her.

But she didn't plan to let Lin Ying spend too much today, as it wasn't easy for the girl to save up spirit stones.

I just don't know what Junior Brother Lu will do.

If he orders something too expensive, Yingying will have to spend all the spirit stones she worked so hard to earn...

Then she'll have to have a serious talk with Yingying in private.

Perhaps these two aren't compatible in their spending habits, and this junior brother doesn't seem to care about Yingying's feelings. It would be best to have less contact with him in the future.

But if this junior brother has a sense of propriety and thinks of Yingying...

Qin Nanyue's gaze swept over Lu Yang's flawless face, and she thought to herself: She wouldn't mind if her best friend actually had a relationship.

After all, this Junior Brother Lu's appearance is impeccable, and his background is also quite impressive.

If his character is reliable, then in a way, Yingying is actually marrying above her station.
