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

Jiang Shiqing's hopes were dashed, but her gentle smile remained as soft as water, her eyes crinkling, showing no sign of disappointment. She said softly, "Yes, young master, please take care and rest."

Lu Yang reached out and pinched Jiang Shiqing's soft, pretty face. He felt a warm, soft touch on his fingertips, smiled slightly, and said nothing more. He turned to look at Mu Yunxue beside him and said, "Let's go, Senior Sister Mu."

Mu Yunxue nodded slightly and stood up from her chair.

The hem of her plain white dress gently brushed against the bluestone floor as she quietly followed behind Lu Yang. The two walked one after the other through the corridor toward the cultivation room.

The soft white light of the lamp illuminated two slender figures, one tall and one short, one composed and one aloof, who quickly disappeared at the end of the corridor.

Jiang Shiqing watched as the two figures gradually disappeared into the darkness at the end of the corridor until they were completely out of sight, then she let out a soft sigh.

She slumped her shoulders, looking somewhat dejected, and turned back to her bedroom.

The door closed gently.

The bedroom was quiet, with a potted plant on the windowsill, its emerald green leaves shimmering softly in the moonlight.

Plain-colored curtains hung beside the bed, swaying gently in the breeze blowing in from the window.

Jiang Shiqing sat on the edge of the bed, remembering the young master's instructions, and decided to begin to comprehend the waterway.

But after sitting for less than half a cup of tea's time, I still felt uneasy.

It feels like something is missing.

She remained silent for a while, then simply lay down on the bed, pulled the soft silk quilt over herself, and wrapped herself up tightly.

A small bulge appeared under the blanket, and a rustling sound came from under the covers. A long red dress was tossed out of the blanket and draped softly over the low cabinet at the foot of the bed.

Alright, let me cast a water magic spell first, then I'll start comprehending it.

…………

The training room.

The stone gate closed silently behind them.

There are no skylights inside, and the walls are inlaid with lamps, the light is soft and not dazzling, enveloping the entire stone chamber in a layer of warm white light.

In the corner stood an ancient bronze incense burner, with half a stick of calming incense burning inside. Wisps of smoke rose straight up and dispersed, turning into a very faint, refreshing fragrance.

Lu Yang and Mu Yunxue sat facing each other, each sitting cross-legged on a futon.

The futon is woven from spiritual herbs, faintly exuding the fragrance of plants, and feels slightly warm when you sit on it.

Lu Yang took out the Enlightenment Tea from his storage ring, and then took out a set of simple white porcelain tea set.

His movements were unhurried and deliberate, pouring water, warming the cup, and adding tea, his actions flowing smoothly like water.

The boiling spring water was poured into the pot, and the emerald green tea leaves slowly unfurled in the hot water, quickly releasing a delicate tea aroma.

Mu Yunxue didn't say anything, she just watched quietly.

She sat upright, her hands resting naturally on her knees, her white skirt spreading out like flower petals around the cushion.

Her calm eyes reflected Lu Yang's tea-making posture, her gaze never wavering.

Lu Yang poured a cup for each of them, then picked up a cup and took a sip himself. The tea was warm and refreshing, and a cool sensation rushed to his mind, instantly making him feel much clearer.

He looked up at Mu Yunxue, his smile gentle and casual, his tone relaxed: "Senior Sister Mu, shall we go first?"

Mu Yunxue nodded gently, picked up her teacup, took a sip, and closed her eyes slightly, as if to feel the clarity brought by the Enlightenment Tea.

A moment later, she opened her eyes and began to recount her insights on the Way of Gold in an orderly manner.

Her voice was clear and calm, and she spoke slowly, each word seeming to have been carefully considered before being uttered.

Just as Lu Yang had thought, Mu Yunxue's understanding of the Golden Dao was indeed somewhat different from his.

Although both of them were involved in the killing and destruction aspect of the Golden Path, their focuses were completely different.

Lu Yang's style is characterized by its imposing presence and sharp edge. He emphasizes overwhelming power and using a single sword strike to break through all techniques. He goes straight and direct, crushing opponents with sheer force.

Mu Yunxue's understanding leaned towards the all-pervasive and ever-changing nature of the Golden Dao. In her hands, the Golden Qi was no longer the embodiment of a heavy and overwhelming force, but rather an all-pervasive fine needle and ever-changing flowing water.

That is why her magic is so unpredictable and unpredictable, completely different from Lu Yang's style of overwhelming force.

Lu Yang listened attentively.

Mu Yunxue's understanding was completely different from his own, but the great path is ultimately the same.

His explanations of the changes in metal energy, his insights on the differentiation and penetration of sharpness, and his own perceptions, constantly spark new ideas when compared with each other.

He would occasionally interject with his own insights, and with his profound understanding of the Dao of Metal, he could naturally guide Mu Yunxue from the shallow to the deep, so that she would not be unable to understand due to the difference in their levels.

Mu Yunxue listened attentively, nodding slightly from time to time, and occasionally asking a question or two.

Her voice remained calm and gentle, but her expression was extremely focused and absorbed.

In Lu Yang's narration, many vague areas that she had previously touched upon but could never quite figure out are now being clarified little by little.

Lu Yang himself also gained a lot.

His understanding of the Dao of Metal was already profound. Mu Yunxue only provided him with a new perspective and a bit of new inspiration. He was able to use his extraordinary comprehension to deduce on his own based on the existing foundation, and quickly absorb, digest and integrate the parts of her insights that were useful to him into his own system.

The two sat on the meditation cushions, chatting away, their thoughts colliding and intertwining in the quiet meditation room, sparking new inspiration.

The effects of the Enlightenment Tea slowly circulated within their bodies, enhancing their comprehension tenfold.

The inspiration that usually takes a long time to grasp comes almost effortlessly at this moment.

Their understanding of the Dao of Gold changed almost every moment, and the originally blurry Dao patterns in their minds were becoming clear and solid at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Time slipped away quietly as the two discussed their philosophy.

The incense stick, meant for concentration, gradually shrunk, and a thin layer of ash settled on it.

The two were completely unaware.

Only after the pot of Enlightenment Tea had been brewed repeatedly, and the color of the tea soup had become so light as to be almost transparent, did the two of them finish the last cup.

The moment the aroma of the tea dissipated, they were both jolted awake from their immersive state.

A very subtle blush appeared on Mu Yunxue's cool and beautiful face, a lingering effect from her continued excitement.

For Mu Yunxue, who was single-mindedly pursuing the Dao, such a thorough and enjoyable discussion on the Dao brought about tremendous improvement.

This was the first time she, who was usually aloof, had truly experienced excitement and joy.

The feeling was somewhat unfamiliar, but it made her feel comfortable.

She raised her eyes to look at Lu Yang across from her.

The soft light of the lamp fell upon him, and a faint smile played on his lips. His posture was casual, languid, and unrestrained.

A subtle hint of tenderness flickered in Mu Yunxue's calm and composed eyes.

It seemed that he and Junior Brother Lu shared a kind of resonance.

Discussing philosophy with him made her very happy.

This was the first time she had felt this way.

Lu Yang also reaped great rewards.

His enhanced understanding of the Golden Dao gave him new directions and inspiration for deducing the Golden Rainbow Sword Manual.

He glanced at the panel without making a sound.

In just one debate, Lu Yang's Golden Rainbow Sword Manual experience increased by 12,000!

Even he himself found the speed of his enlightenment somewhat outrageous!

Just then, text appeared on the panel again.

[The host had a deep discussion with his beloved, gaining much insight. Reward: 5 Spirit Essence Fruits, 10 Youth Preservation Pills, and 20 mid-grade spirit stones.]

Lu Yang paused, a look of astonishment flashing in his eyes.

What the hell!

This reward... is unbelievably good.

Five Spirit Essence Fruits, which enhance spiritual roots, were given to me directly?!

Although the Spirit Marrow Mystic Fruit is not as good as the Marrow Cleansing and Mystic Fruit, it can only raise the spiritual root to the middle grade.

But this is also a treasure that can enhance one's spiritual roots!

Any one of these would be enough to make small and medium-sized sects outside fight tooth and nail for it!

The Youth Preservation Pill is relatively ordinary.

However, this time the number of rewards is greater.

Lu Yang had previously obtained 5 Youth Preservation Pills, giving one each to Lin Ying, Qin Nanyue, Jiang Shiqing, and Su Jinxuan, leaving one remaining.

Adding the current 10, there will be a total of 11 Youth Preservation Pills.

There are 2000 mid-grade spirit stones, which is equivalent to 20 million low-grade spirit stones.

To be honest, for Lu Yang now, spirit stones are basically just a number.

We can't possibly use it all.

However, the upgraded system rewards are really tempting.

It's more than one level better than before.

Lu Yang planned to take these spiritual essence fruits back to the Lu family for his parents and clansmen to use.

His parents are still relatively young. If they can upgrade their spiritual roots to the middle grade, and with the various resources he provides, they should have a great chance of breaking through to the Golden Core stage in the future.

Reaching the Nascent Soul stage is a bit difficult, but it's not impossible to try.

Moreover, he can already obtain the Spirit Marrow Profound Fruit as a reward, so it's not impossible for him to obtain a large number of Marrow Cleansing and Profound Understanding Fruits in the future.

As long as we are alive, we can always become stronger and better in the future.

As for the youth-preserving elixir...

He turned his attention away from the panel and focused his gaze on Mu Yunxue, whose pretty face was slightly flushed.

With a flick of his wrist, a pale pink pill appeared in his palm.

The pill was no bigger than a thumb, its entire body shimmering with a faint glow, and it emitted a sweet floral fragrance.

Lu Yang smiled and handed it over. "Senior Sister Mu, this Youth Preservation Pill is for you."

Mu Yunxue blinked, her gaze lingering on the pill for a moment before she shook her head, her voice flat: "I don't need it."

Lu Yang: "???"

Lu Yang was stunned for a moment, almost thinking he had misheard.

They actually refused?!

This was the first female cultivator Lu Yang had ever encountered who refused the Youth Preservation Pill!

Lu Yang was a little taken aback and couldn't help but ask, "Senior Sister Mu, don't you wish to stay young forever?"

Mu Yunxue tilted her head slightly, her exquisitely beautiful face turning to the side, her dark hair, bound by a sky-blue ribbon, slipping down her shoulder.

Her voice remained calm, yet seemed to carry a hint of confusion: "Can maintaining youthful appearance enhance one's understanding of the Great Dao?"

Lu Yang's lips twitched slightly: "...No."

"Can it improve my cultivation level?"

"Uh...no."

"That's no use," Mu Yunxue said matter-of-factly.

Lu Yang grinned, finding himself unable to refute the argument!

Upon careful consideration, Mu Yunxue was absolutely right; the Youth Preservation Pill did indeed offer no substantial improvement to cultivation.

But aren't all women very concerned about their appearance?

Especially a peerless beauty like Mu Yunxue, who scores 11 out of 10!

She didn't seem to care at all whether her appearance would age.

That's outrageous.

Mu Yunxue seemed to have thought of something, but her tone remained cold and indifferent: "Junior Brother Lu can give it to other female cultivators, such as your personal maid."

Lu Yang smiled and said, "Shi Qing has already taken it."

Mu Yunxue fell silent immediately.

She just stared straight at Lu Yang, her eyes unblinking.

The soft light of the lamp fell on her fair and delicate face, making her deep, spring-like eyes appear unfathomable.

Lu Yang felt a little uneasy as Mu Yunxue stared at him expressionlessly.

It has to be said that when this Senior Sister Mu doesn't speak, she really looks like a lifeless puppet.

It is beautiful to the extreme, and also quiet to the extreme.

Being stared at like that is a little scary.

He felt a little uneasy, but maintained a calm smile on his face, and chuckled, "What's wrong, Senior Sister Mu?"

Mu Yunxue shook her head slightly.

She herself seemed a little confused, her tone carrying a very faint uncertainty: "I don't know why, but I feel a little uncomfortable, maybe I'm just tired."
