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

Lu Yang sat cross-legged on the futon, pondered for a moment, and decided to wait until he actually got his hands on it before making any decisions.

Right now, the most important thing is still cultivation.

He wanted to see just how powerful the effects of cultivating this max-level Heavy Sword Technique really were.

Without hesitation, he took out a Qi-Nourishing Pill, tilted his head back, and swallowed it.

The pill melted instantly upon entering the mouth, and a warm, pure medicinal power spread throughout the abdomen, intertwining and merging with the spiritual energy from the food that had remained in the body.

He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, formed hand seals, and began to circulate his energy.

The outer gate leads to a winding mountain path.

Lin Ying and Qin Nanyue walked side by side, stepping on the small stone path, and soon arrived at the outer gate square.

Throughout the journey, Lin Ying appeared absent-minded, her eyes darting around, her feet feeling unsteady as if she were walking on clouds.

Qin Nanyue felt helpless and sighed softly.

Suddenly, she reached out and wrapped her arm around Lin Ying's slender waist, leaning close to her ear and teasingly whispering, "What's wrong? Still thinking about your Junior Brother Lu?"

The two were best friends who could talk about anything, so this level of intimacy was perfectly normal for Lin Ying.

But Qin Nanyue's words felt like a feather gently brushing against Lin Ying's heart.

Her fair face, which had already regained its original color, flushed red again at a visible speed, and even her neck was tinged with an alluring pink.

She froze, and in a panic, she protested, "What...what? My junior brother Lu...Junior brother Lu isn't mine..."

Her voice grew softer and softer until it was barely audible, her confidence clearly waning: "Junior Brother Lu and I... don't have much of a relationship yet..."

Qin Nanyue stretched out her slender fingers and pinched Lin Ying's delicate face, saying in an annoyed tone, "I think all you can think about right now is your Junior Brother Lu."

"What do you mean?!"

Lin Ying's eyes darted around guiltily, avoiding eye contact with Qin Nanyue.

Just then, she caught sight of the Danfeng Mountain Gate coming into view, and felt as if she had been granted a pardon. She hurriedly broke free from Qin Nanyue's hand, "We've arrived at Danfeng! I... I'll go refine pills first!"

Before she could finish speaking, she had already run away like a startled deer, leaving Qin Nanyue with only a frail, flustered back view.

Looking in the direction Lin Ying had left, Qin Nanyue's gaze was thoughtful.

Her first impression of that junior brother Lu from today's brief encounter was quite good.

But it was our first time dealing with each other, and you can't see into someone's heart.

There are plenty of people in the cultivation world who appear glamorous on the surface but are actually despicable behind the scenes.

Nobody knows if this junior brother is two-faced.

She thought to herself that it was still necessary to be vigilant.

That silly girl Yingying was completely captivated and couldn't tell which way was which.

But as her sister, she had to consider Yingying's feelings more.

Should we... send someone to secretly investigate this Junior Brother Lu's background?

Qin Nanyue walked aimlessly toward her residence, her eyes flickering and her mind racing with thoughts.

After a moment, she slowly shook her head, dismissing the idea.

Putting everything else aside, the fact that Lu Yang can casually give away a top-grade magic weapon, especially one specifically designed for alchemy, is something even the direct descendants of Golden Core families couldn't do.

This Junior Brother Lu's background is probably even more unfathomable than she expected.

If you rush to investigate, you might offend the other party and end up making things worse.

This may not only be a good thing for the Qin family, but it could also cause Junior Brother Lu to develop a grudge against Yingying.

Qin Nanyue thought and thought, but still couldn't come up with a perfect solution.

She sighed softly.

Well then, I'll just keep a close eye on this Junior Brother Lu in the sect from now on.

As time goes by, one will naturally be able to tell whether someone is a human or a ghost.

…………

Time slips away silently, like sand through your fingers.

In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed.

That afternoon.

Lu Yang sat cross-legged on the futon, his body as still as a rock.

Suddenly, the surrounding spiritual energy seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, surging into his body and instantly transforming into a gentle breeze that rippled outwards in all directions.

The thin white mist that filled the room was blown about by this wave of air, churning and surging like waves in a sea of ​​clouds.

As the breeze subsided and the white mist returned to calm, Lu Yang slowly opened his eyes.

A glint of light flashed in the depths of those eyes.

He felt that the spiritual energy in his dantian was more than twice as powerful as before.

An indescribable ecstasy surged into his heart like a tidal wave.

Finally... I broke through!

To be honest, this breakthrough took longer than he had expected.

With the Great Sword Technique at max level, his cultivation efficiency was indeed far greater than before. With the help of pills and spiritual food, he had already reached the bottleneck of the mid-stage Qi Refining ten days ago.

On that very day, Lu Yang's general experience points reached one thousand.

He directly chose to upgrade his spiritual root, raising it to the superior grade!

The stronger one's spiritual root, the thinner the bottleneck to breaking through realms. After upgrading his spiritual root, Lu Yang clearly felt that the bottleneck had become much thinner.

Therefore, he only spent ten days refining and overcoming the bottleneck, and then broke through it!

He exhaled a long breath of stale air from his chest, feeling an indescribable sense of relief.

He stood up, stretched comfortably, and his bones cracked and popped.

Then Lu Yang walked to the window and opened it.

In an instant, a gentle breeze carrying the fresh scent of mountain grass and trees brushed against my face, bringing a touch of coolness.

Lu Yang immediately felt refreshed and invigorated.

He gazed into the distance, where the sea of ​​clouds churned and drifted among the mountain peaks.

The distant mountain peaks appeared and disappeared in the clouds, and the golden sunlight shone on the clouds, giving them a splendid glow.

Looking at this magnificent scenery, Lu Yang felt a sense of unreality, as if he had been transported to another world.

A month ago, he was still worried and unable to eat or sleep because he was afraid of failing the test and being relegated to a menial disciple.

Unexpectedly, in just one month, he broke through the bottleneck and became a mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator!

A surge of heroic spirit welled up from his chest and soared into the sky.

The sky is high and the sea is wide; the future is promising!

Perhaps it was because the heavy weight on his heart had finally been lifted that Lu Yang's long-suppressed anxiety vanished, and his mind became much more open.

Looking out the window at this scene I've seen countless times, I feel it's more beautiful and moving than ever before.

He quietly admired the ever-changing sea of ​​clouds in the mountains for a while, then turned away, walked away from his residence.

He planned to go to the assessment office.

Within the accommodation area for newly initiated disciples, there is a dedicated place for assessing their abilities.

According to the sect's rules, after breaking through to the mid-stage of Qi Refining, one can go to the assessment area to complete the advancement assessment.

Once you pass the test, you can transform from an entry-level disciple into a true outer disciple.

From that moment on, I was truly recognized as a disciple of the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect.
