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

Sunlight streamed through the gaps in the carved wooden windows, casting dappled patterns of light on the bluestone floor of the room.

Lu Yang sat cross-legged on the couch, his eyes fixed on the semi-transparent panel in front of him.

He didn't pay much attention to physical constitution, intelligence, charm...

After all, once one embarks on the path of cultivation, spiritual energy washes over the physical body day and night, making cultivators far superior to mortals in terms of physique, intellect, appearance, and temperament.

As a Qi Refining cultivator, he would naturally be quite proficient in these areas.

What truly made him breathless and his heart burn were two things.

The source of the super-rich man's confidence, and that daily task!

You will receive 1 low-grade spirit stone every hour...

A day has twelve two-hour periods, which is equivalent to twelve low-grade spirit stones.

What about a month?

360 pieces!

His breathing became hot.

During the entrance examination, the sect's monthly allowance for outer disciples is only 10 low-grade spirit stones at most.

This is the treatment given to a major sect like the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect. Small sects and independent cultivators outside wouldn't even dare to dream of it!

You should know, this was free!

This money wasn't earned by risking your life to complete missions!

The Godly Rich System gave him a full thirty-six times more than the sect's!

Thirty-six times!

Lu Yang's chest heaved violently a few times.

Even those disciples from wealthy families, with a constant supply of resources from their clans, might not be able to obtain this many spirit stones in a month.

As for Lu Yang, a scion of a minor noble family in the Yue Kingdom, he had never enjoyed such treatment.

But now, everything is different.

With these spirit stones, he could buy all sorts of cultivation pills.

Qi-Condensing Pills, Qi-Nourishing Pills, Spirit-Gathering Powder... From now on, you can buy them in bulk!

His cultivation speed will experience a qualitative leap.

What made Lu Yang's heart tremble the most was... this thing could be upgraded!

Level 1, 360 low-grade spirit stones per month.

What about level 2?

What about further up?

He felt his throat was dry, as if a fire was burning from his chest all the way to his limbs.

He forced himself to calm down and continued to look down, landing on the "General Experience" section.

General experience can improve skills.

Even... spiritual roots can be improved!!

Spiritual root.

These two words struck Lu Yang's heart like a heavy hammer.

Why has he been practicing diligently for over four years and is still stuck in the early stages of Qi cultivation?

Why is it that those geniuses were able to make rapid progress and leave him far behind in just a few months?

Ultimately, it comes down to insufficient quality of spiritual roots.

A mid-grade spiritual root might be considered "superior talent" in a small town.

But in a place like the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect, where geniuses gather, a mid-grade sword is considered the lowest grade.

Each cohort of new disciples contains many with superior or even top-grade spiritual roots!

A figure involuntarily appeared in Lu Yang's mind.

Mu Yunxue.

That girl who broke through to the mid-stage of Qi Refining in just the second month of her training has a super-grade spiritual root!

When she broke through to the next level, even the sect leader came in person, making the entire disciples' residence incredibly lively.

At that time, Lu Yang stood in the crowd, looking at the white-clad girl surrounded by people from afar, his heart filled with envy.

This is the difference in the quality of spiritual roots, so cruel it's despair-inducing.

What's even more cruel is that spiritual roots are innate, and there are very few ways to improve them later in life. Each one is so precious that powerful cultivators would fight tooth and nail for them, and it's simply beyond the reach of a small cultivator like him who's just refining Qi.

But now, general experience can do it!

If his spiritual root quality improves to superior, top-grade, super-grade, or even the legendary spiritual body...

Lu Yang slowly pursed his lips, his eyes seeming to spark into dry tinder, instantly igniting a raging fire.

He originally thought that the "Urban Tycoon System" was out of place in the world of cultivation and was of little use.

Now it seems this is incredibly useful!

Without further delay, he abruptly stood up and pushed open the door.

A refreshing mountain breeze carrying the fragrance of grass and trees wafts towards you, while several sacred peaks in the distance appear and disappear in the thin mist, and the faint light of swords seems to weave through the clouds.

A few withered leaves lay on the bluestone path in the disciples' quarters, swirling and rustling in the wind.

Lu Yang took a deep breath of the cool air and started running along the winding mountain road.

Do your daily tasks!

They hadn't run far when a group of disciples came walking along the path ahead.

They had just returned from the market with cultivation pills when they saw Lu Yang running, and they were all stunned.

A square-faced disciple blinked and nudged his companion with his elbow: "Who's this? What's he doing?"

"Running...?" The tall, thin disciple next to him looked completely bewildered, as if he had witnessed something unbelievable. "Someone running at this crucial moment? Are they bored?"

Someone in the crowd recognized Lu Yang and said in a low voice, "His name seems to be Lu Yang. I remember he had a mid-grade spiritual root in the entrance test. There are only a few months left until the end of the assessment. If he doesn't cultivate properly, isn't he afraid of being relegated to menial tasks?"

"A mid-grade spiritual root..." another person thoughtfully chimed in. "If their comprehension isn't high enough, and they can't grasp the essence of the sect's techniques, their cultivation speed simply won't keep up. They'll probably give up on breaking through to the next realm since there's no hope for them."

"Possibly." The square-faced disciple who spoke first shook his head, looked away, and said, "Forget it, who cares? We don't even have enough time for ourselves, let's go back to cultivating!"

The others also snapped out of their daze and quickened their pace to leave.

Lu Yang finished the three-kilometer mountain road in just a short time.

When he stopped, his breathing remained steady, and not a single bead of sweat appeared on his forehead.

The training tasks given to ordinary people in the city are not even a warm-up for a cultivator in the early stage of Qi Refining.

Just as he was about to turn around and go back, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Lu Yang? What are you doing running here?"

Lu Yang turned his head and saw a thin boy standing not far away, with a look of surprise on his face.

The mountain wind blew the boy's robes, making him look like a bamboo pole bent by the wind.

Wang Lin came from the Wang family of the Yue Kingdom.

Although the two were strangers in their hometown, they were both disciples of a family of cultivators from the Yue Kingdom, and naturally grew closer after entering the sect.

Lu Yang smiled, his expression calm: "I was a little tired from cultivating, so I came out to get some fresh air and loosen up my muscles."

Wang Lin nodded, then, as if remembering something important, leaned closer and asked, "How's your cultivation going lately? Have you hit a bottleneck?"

Lu Yang shook his head: "Not yet."

Wang Lin let out a long breath, a barely perceptible hint of relaxation flashing across his face.

He then lowered his voice and raised his eyebrows slightly: "My family just sent me a bottle of Qi-Nourishing Pills. With these pills, I should be able to break through before the end of the assessment."

As he said this, his eyes unconsciously glanced at Lu Yang's face, as if waiting for some kind of reaction.

Lu Yang's expression remained unchanged; he simply nodded and said sincerely, "Congratulations."

A hint of disappointment flashed across Wang Lin's eyes.

He had expected to see Lu Yang show an envious expression.

After all, he knew the Lu family's financial situation and probably couldn't afford to produce so many Qi-Nourishing Pills.

With no resources, a mid-grade spiritual root, and little time left, Lu Yang's future is almost predictable.

It's highly likely he'll end up doing menial tasks.

The life trajectories of a menial disciple and a disciple about to formally enter the sect will only diverge further and further.

Wang Lin dropped his earlier intimacy, clicked his tongue, and his smile faded slightly: "Then I'll go cultivate first. You should also work harder."

After saying that, he turned and walked towards his residence.

Lu Yang glanced at Wang Lin's back, his heart unmoved, and he even felt a little amused.

A bottle of Qi-nourishing pills?

With his current income, he can buy more than two bottles every month.

He returned to his simple room, closed the wooden door behind him, and the hinges creaked softly.

Lu Yang sat cross-legged, took a deep breath, and clicked to submit the task.

[Constitution: 1.9→2]

A warm current surged out from the depths of his body without warning, flowing and spreading between his muscles, bones, and internal organs.

He could clearly feel his power growing.

It wasn't too exaggerated, but it was by no means a small amount either, as if he had spent several days tempering his physical body.

Lu Yang was stunned for a moment, then his eyes burst with wild joy.

This is... physical strength?!

The improvement in his physical attributes was actually directly enhancing his physical body!

The path of physical cultivation is notoriously difficult, as everyone in the cultivation world knows.

Not only does it consume a massive amount of resources, but the process is also like being in purgatory—bones and muscles are broken and reassembled, and flesh and blood are repeatedly steamed and boiled in medicinal liquid. The pain is unbearable for ordinary people.

Countless cultivators who aspired to pursue physical cultivation ultimately gave up halfway because they could not withstand the pressure.

And what about him?

Running just three kilometers a day can steadily improve your physical strength, without any pain or risk!

If those body cultivators knew this, they'd probably be green with envy.

Lu Yang suddenly thought of something and abruptly turned his gaze to another attribute on the panel.

intelligence.

His breathing became rapid, and his heart pounded in his chest.

Could it be that... intelligence is related to comprehension?

Comprehension!

That is the key to whether a cultivator can comprehend profound techniques, master exquisite spells, and learn various skills!

The same technique can lead to rapid progress for those with high comprehension, while those with low comprehension may spend their entire lives studying it and still not be able to grasp its essence.

In some respects, one could even say that comprehension is more important than spiritual talent.

If improving intelligence really does improve comprehension...

Lu Yang dared not think any further, afraid that he would get too excited and lose his composure.

What about its charm?

His gaze fell on the last attribute, and he scratched his head, somewhat puzzled.

Cultivators are nourished by spiritual energy day and night, and they all have delicate skin, slender figures, and their charm seems to be quite high.

He really couldn't guess what the effects of increasing his charm would be.

But on second thought, physique gives physical strength, intelligence may be related to comprehension, and charm should not be much less important.

His basic attributes, such as moral character, intelligence, physical fitness, and aesthetic appreciation, are much stronger than he had imagined!

Lu Yang sighed inwardly, then suddenly stopped.

He looked at the panel several times, from top to bottom and left to right, and rubbed his eyes to make sure he hadn't missed anything.

Where is virtue?

Why isn't there a character for "virtue"?

Cultivating immortality doesn't require morality, right?

Forget it.

He quickly put the thought out of his mind.

One less is one less. These few are already enough to turn his cultivation path upside down.

Lu Yang took out a book from his storage bag.

The pages were yellowed, the corners were slightly curled, and the cover had three large characters written in bold, powerful strokes: "The Heavy Sword Manual".

This is one of the introductory techniques of the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect, a high-grade Yellow rank technique.

If such a copy of a cultivation technique were left out in the open, it would be enough to attract a group of Foundation Establishment cultivators to risk their lives to snatch it up.

But in the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect, this is what the lowest-ranking disciples learn.

Lu Yang turned the pages of the book, and a faint scent of ink mixed with the aged aroma of the paper wafted into his nostrils.

He composed himself and focused his gaze on the words.

Reading task, begin.
