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

Lu Yang naturally had no idea what Ding Ran and Deng Qi were thinking.

The reason he could describe the location and origin of the secret realm so accurately was actually quite simple.

He just opened the system panel and used the search function to find out what happened between the two of them.

Because Lu Yang only did a rough search, and Ding Ran and Deng Qi were only at the Foundation Establishment stage, they only spent a little over ten thousand low-grade spirit stones in total.

This amount of spirit stones might not be a small sum for an ordinary cultivator, but for Lu Yang, it was just a drop in the ocean.

Moreover, Ding Ran had at least offered him the Nine Heavens Golden-Winged Roc Egg, so he had to handle this matter properly to settle this karmic debt.

Lu Yang rubbed the slightly cool beast egg in his hand, looked up at Ding Ran, and smiled slightly: "This person is yours now, you can do whatever you want with him."

Upon hearing this, Deng Qi's face turned deathly pale.

He glanced at Lu Yang with fear, but a hint of ruthlessness flashed deep in his eyes.

As a Foundation Establishment cultivator, his divine sense was not dull. He could clearly sense that the young nobleman in front of him was only at the late Qi Refining stage!

If I can subdue him in an instant, I might still have a chance to save my life!

The thought flashed through Deng Qi's mind like lightning.

In this life-or-death moment, he had no time to think. He suddenly activated his spiritual energy, exerted force with his feet, and lunged towards Lu Yang.

However, the moment he moved, an extremely terrifying divine pressure crashed down like a mountain.

Deng Qi was pressed firmly onto the deck. His chest jolted, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood, his life force instantly waning.

He couldn't even lift a finger; he lay on the ground like a dehydrated fish.

Mu Yunxue had already sensed Deng Qi's spiritual energy fluctuations and was about to make a move when she saw this situation, so she silently withdrew her gaze.

Her black hair swayed gently in the wind, and her cool face showed no superfluous expression.

Lu Yang merely glanced at Deng Qi, who was lying on the ground, before looking away.

He didn't actually care at all.

On the one hand, it was because Deng Qi posed no threat to him whatsoever.

Not to mention that Wang Da and Wang Si were still guarding the side, Lu Yang himself also possessed the [power of money] and the [weight of money].

One is to burn spirit stones to gain powerful strength, and the other is to achieve absolute defense at the cost of consuming spirit stones.

Let alone a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator, even a Nascent Soul stage expert could fight him as long as he was willing to spend spirit stones!

Not to mention that even with his own combat strength, Deng Qi was no match for him.

On the other hand, his attention had already been drawn to the system panel that had appeared in front of him.

[The host's luck is astounding; having obtained the Nine Heavens Golden-Winged Roc Egg, the host is in a good mood. Rewards: Low-level Puppet Upgrade Card *1, Low-level Spirit Beast Nurturing Card *1.]

Lu Yang's eyes brightened slightly.

Who would have thought that after obtaining this opportunity, I could actually trigger a system reward?!

And the rewards are quite generous!

Needless to say, the low-level puppet upgrade card can directly upgrade a Golden Core stage puppet to the Nascent Soul stage. He had obtained several before, so it must be a good item.

This is the first time I've seen a low-level spirit beast nurturing card.

Lu Yang immediately checked the detailed description of the card.

[Low-Level Spirit Beast Nurturing Card: After use, it can nurture a spirit beast in a very short time, allowing it to quickly grow to maturity, and there is a small chance that the spirit beast will break through its bloodline bottleneck. It can be nurtured up to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.]

Lu Yang raised an eyebrow.

How to cultivate spirit beasts in an extremely short time?

If the cultivators of Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain knew about this, they would probably be green with envy.

After all, raising a spirit beast normally requires not only a huge amount of cultivation resources, but also a long period of time, often decades or even hundreds of years. The effort involved is simply immeasurable!

This low-level spirit beast nurturing card can skip all of this process and nurture a spirit beast to maturity in a very short time.

You can imagine how powerful this thing is!

Even more outrageous is that this card can nurture a spirit beast up to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage!

This is equivalent to creating a Nascent Soul Peak expert out of thin air in a very short time!

In some ways, this thing is even more powerful than a low-level puppet upgrade card.

Because a low-level puppet upgrade card can only raise a puppet to one major realm.

You need a Golden Core stage puppet to obtain a Nascent Soul stage puppet.

This spirit beast training card only requires one spirit beast, regardless of its rank!

I just don't know... if the spirit beast egg can be used?

Lu Yang looked down at the Nine Heavens Golden-Winged Roc egg in his hand. The patterns on the pale golden eggshell flowed endlessly, flickering and changing, and it felt slightly cool and smooth to the touch.

I can try it later.

If this Nine Heavens Golden-Winged Roc egg can be hatched and nurtured to the Nascent Soul stage in a short period of time, then the value of this Nine Heavens Golden-Winged Roc will be completely different.

Lu Yang originally thought the beast eggs were not very useful because hatching and nurturing them would take a lot of time.

By the time it grows up, it might have already broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, so a mere Nascent Soul stage spirit beast wouldn't be much of a help.

But if it can be used now, that's a different story.

As for the low-level puppet upgrade card, Lu Yang wasn't in a hurry to use it.

He planned to keep it for now, and when Nan Yue's favorability reached 100 points, and the system gifted him five more bodyguard puppets, he could then upgrade Nan Yue's Golden Core Perfection puppet directly to Nascent Soul Perfection.

This method offers the best cost-effectiveness.

While Lu Yang was checking the rewards on the panel, Ding Ran was already walking towards Deng Qi step by step.

His face was expressionless, his gaze as cold as iron.

He took a broken sword out of his storage bag.

That was his original low-grade spiritual weapon. The blade was covered with cracks and half of it was broken off, but the remaining half of the blade still gleamed coldly.

That's enough to kill someone!

The sunlight on the deck moved slowly, casting an uncertain glow on the broken sword blade.

Deng Qi trembled uncontrollably when he saw the undisguised murderous intent in Ding Ran's eyes.

He desperately forced a look of remorse and sorrow onto his face, his voice hoarse as he pleaded, "Brother Ding! Brother Ding! Please let me explain! I didn't mean to sell the information about the Nine Heavens Golden-Winged Roc Egg to Chen Chuanmo! I... I was drunk and blurted it out, and someone overheard me, so I had no choice but to sell the information... You have to believe me!"

He burst into tears, sobbing uncontrollably.

His honest face was filled with regret; if someone who didn't know the story saw it, they would probably feel sorry for him.

However, Ding Ran had already seen through him.

No matter how realistic his acting was, Ding Ran's expression remained as cold and hard as stone, and his murderous intent did not diminish in the slightest.

He walked up to Deng Qi in a few steps.

Seeing that Ding Ran had no intention of letting him go, Deng Qi began to struggle frantically.

However, his body was completely suppressed by Wang Dana's perfected Nascent Soul consciousness, and he couldn't even move a finger, let alone fight back or escape.

He opened his mouth as if to say something more, but the broken sword had already pierced his throat.

Blood gushed out, splattering onto the deck, its crimson gleaming in the sunlight.

Deng Qi's eyes widened suddenly, blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, and two muffled "gurgling" sounds came from his throat.

His eyes quickly lost focus and eventually dimmed completely.

Ding Ran stared straight into Deng Qi's lifeless eyes, stood quietly for a moment, then closed his eyes slightly and slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.

He and Deng Qi have known each other for nearly a century.

The two have known each other since the Qi Refining stage. They have ventured into secret realms together, evaded pursuit together, drunk the strongest spiritual wine together, and shared the most precious opportunities together.

He originally thought that the two of them would be brothers for life, and that their relationship would never change until death.

But Deng Qi ultimately betrayed him.

For a mere Nine Heavens Golden-Winged Roc egg!

in fact……

If Deng Qi were to ask for the Nine Heavens Golden-Winged Roc Egg, he would give it to him...

No, given Deng Qi's greed, he probably wants both.

Ding Ran suddenly chuckled to himself, realizing that after knowing this person for a hundred years, he had never truly seen through him.

The wind blew in from outside the ship's side, gradually dispersing the stench of blood on the deck.

Lu Yang had already closed the system panel.

He glanced at the corpse on the ground, his expression calm and unchanging.

He had already seen quite a few corpses.

If the person who died was innocent, he might be moved to some extent.

But someone like Deng Qi truly deserved to die.

He remained completely unmoved.

Lu Yang turned his head to look at Wang Da and said softly, "Wang Da, take care of this."

Wang Da bowed slightly: "Yes, young master."

The next moment, a flash of fire appeared on Deng Qi's corpse.

The crimson flames swept silently by, burning the corpse and the splattered blood to ashes, leaving only a few magical artifacts and a storage bag on the deck.

The flames were controlled with exquisite precision, leaving the deck completely untouched by the soot.

Ding Ran didn't even glance at the relics.

He sheathed his broken sword, knelt down, and kowtowed deeply to Lu Yang: "Thank you, young master, for helping me avenge my enemy! I am willing to serve you with all my might!"

Lu Yang couldn't help but complain, "Get up, stop kneeling all the time."

And this guy is also clueless.

With only a mere late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation level, you think you can serve him like a dog or a horse?

He said helplessly, "Alright, you don't need to do me any favors. Your beast egg is worth my help."

Ding Ran's heart sank immediately, and he could not hide his disappointment.

Isn't he thinking the same thing as Deng Qi?

If we could get on the good side of this young master, I know that the future would be bright!

Unfortunately, the young master didn't think much of him.

Then, Ding Ran seemed to remember something, gritted his teeth, and kowtowed again, saying, "Young Master... you heard it too, Chen Chuanmo of Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain will probably not let me and my family go. Please, Young Master, save me!"

Lu Yang chuckled lightly and said calmly, "I happen to be passing through Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, so I can put in a good word for you."

In the hands of others, this Nine Heavens Golden-Winged Roc egg might only be equivalent to an unhatched beast egg with weak vitality.

But it's different for him; at least he was rewarded with a low-level spirit beast training card and a low-level puppet upgrade card.

Its value has increased many times over!

Of course, even without these two cards, since I took their things, it's only natural to help them out.
