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

"Top-grade Earth-rank item?"

Lu Yang's pupils contracted slightly, and a blazing light shone deep within his eyes.

In the world of cultivation, cultivation techniques are extremely important.

The stronger the cultivation technique, the higher the quality of the spiritual energy produced.

The higher the quality of spiritual energy, the easier it is to break through bottlenecks.

The spiritual energy cultivated through low-level techniques is like cotton wool—floating and powerless, dissipating at the slightest touch.

As one's cultivation level increases, the bottleneck becomes more and more solid. Using this kind of spiritual energy to break through it is tantamount to throwing an egg against a rock, and one will waste a lifetime without making any progress.

The spiritual energy cultivated through advanced techniques is like refined steel, condensed and sharpened.

Even the most formidable bottlenecks can be broken through with a single, overwhelming blow!

In fact, the Yellow-rank cultivation techniques circulating in the market can generally only support you up to the Foundation Establishment stage.

To condense a golden core using a Yellow-rank cultivation technique is simply a pipe dream unless one is blessed with extraordinary luck and obtains a heaven-defying opportunity.

And the highest-grade Earth-rank cultivation technique...

Let alone the Golden Core stage, even breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, or even the seemingly unattainable Divine Transformation stage, is possible!

In the chaotic marketplace of rogue cultivators, a single high-grade Yellow Rank cultivation technique could unleash a bloodbath, causing people to fight tooth and nail for it.

Profound-level cultivation techniques are extremely rare, appearing only once every hundred years.

As for Earth-rank cultivation techniques, only top sects like the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect probably have the resources to produce them.

As for the legendary Heavenly Rank cultivation techniques, they are already nothing but myths in the entire Eastern Region.

A top-grade Earth-rank cultivation technique is enough to drive countless cultivators mad!

Lu Yang's heart involuntarily quickened.

If I can cultivate this "Golden Rainbow Sword Manual" and combine it with my increasingly terrifying comprehension, my future path of cultivation will be smooth sailing!

He took a deep breath, suppressing his turbulent emotions, and then asked curiously via telepathy, "Why hasn't any disciple in the sect been able to obtain the inheritance of the Golden Rainbow Sword Manual for so many years?"

Lin Ying shook her head slightly and replied via telepathy, "I'm not entirely sure of the specific reason either. I just heard Nan Yue mention it; it seems that the cultivation threshold of the 'Golden Rainbow Sword Manual' is frighteningly high, and ordinary disciples don't even have the qualifications to touch that threshold."

As she spoke, she turned her head to look at Lu Yang, a hint of worry appearing in her clear eyes. She blinked and said, "Junior Brother Lu, you don't really want to learn this technique, do you? I've heard that it's incredibly difficult to learn... Why don't you reconsider?"

She genuinely cared about Lu Yang.

The path of cultivation is inherently a struggle against fate; every step is precious and allows no room for error.

If you choose the wrong path in your cultivation method, you will waste real lifespan and time.

Even if one changes to another method later, the lost years cannot be recovered.

The cultivation conditions for the "Golden Rainbow Sword Manual" are harsh and the difficulty is extremely high. If Junior Brother Lu were to attempt it rashly, he would probably waste a lot of time on it.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yang smiled gently and reassured her via telepathy, "Don't worry, Senior Sister, I'm just somewhat interested. If it's not feasible, I naturally won't force it."

Hearing this, Lin Ying secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

What she feared most was that Junior Brother Lu was young and impetuous, stubborn, and would never turn back even after hitting a wall.

Fortunately, Junior Brother Lu is not the kind of person who gets stuck on trivial matters.

She smiled, her voice becoming lighter as she transmitted her thoughts: "Although the Golden Rainbow Sword Manual is difficult to master, there are many other superior cultivation techniques on Xuanjin Peak. If Junior Brother Lu chooses Xuanjin Peak, it won't be bad either. However, ultimately it depends on Junior Brother himself, which path he wants to take."

She paused for a moment, then added, "Anyway, you have plenty of time to think things over before you actually step into the inner sect, there's no rush."

"I understand, thank you for clearing up my doubts, Senior Sister Lin." Lu Yang nodded solemnly.

"Junior brother, why are you being so polite with me?" Lin Ying couldn't help but smile slightly. "Let me continue to introduce you. Our Golden Rainbow Sword Sect, besides its six main peaks, also has some halls directly under the sect, such as the Enforcement Hall, the External Affairs Hall, and the Spirit Beast Hall. Although these halls are not as important as the six peaks, they are interdependent with the six peaks, and their relationship is subtle, with each having its own intricacies..."

Lin Ying and Lu Yang walked side by side, a gentle breeze wafting along the mountain path, carrying the fragrance of herbs from the distant spiritual fields.

As she walked, she smiled and looked at Lu Yang, sunlight filtering through the leaves and casting dappled shadows on her fair face.

Wang Siyuan followed silently behind the two, keeping his eyes down and his mind at ease.

Looking at the two figures walking side by side ahead, he felt that Senior Sister Lin Ying's closeness to Senior Brother Lu seemed to go beyond the scope of ordinary senior-junior siblings.

He even felt somewhat superfluous at that moment. If he didn't still have to go through the outer gate registration, he would have liked to turn around and leave to avoid disturbing the two of them.

Before long, the three of them followed the winding mountain road and arrived at the mountainside of a majestic mountain.

Suddenly, everything became clear.

This is an extremely spacious white jade square, with clouds and mist swirling around its edges, making it feel like a fairyland.

Around the square, dozens of antique-style pavilions and halls are scattered in a well-organized manner along the mountainside, with flying eaves and brackets, creating a magnificent atmosphere.

Numerous disciples dressed in outer sect robes hurried to and fro among the square and buildings.

Some walked briskly, while others chatted quietly in twos and threes, creating a busy scene.

The moment Lu Yang stepped into the square, the air seemed to fall silent for a moment.

He was tall and straight, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and an extremely handsome face. His aura was also ethereal and otherworldly.

All the disciples who passed by, regardless of gender, couldn't help but look at him.

The female disciples, in particular, had eyes that were filled with tenderness, and their steps slowed down considerably.

Lu Yang could even keenly sense that there was a silent flow of spiritual energy between them, which was clearly a form of telepathy.

They whispered among themselves while occasionally stealing glances at Lu Yang, their cheeks slightly flushed.

Lin Ying, who was standing to the side, keenly noticed the intense gazes of her senior and junior sisters.

She subconsciously pursed her red lips and, without making a sound, quietly moved a little closer to Lu Yang's side.

A faint, sweet fragrance wafted over, and Lu Yang noticed Lin Ying's shoulder gently touching his arm.

The soft touch startled him slightly, and he turned his head to look at Lin Ying with some surprise.

That one glance made Lin Ying's ears turn bright red, and even her neck turned pink.

Her gaze darted away, feigning composure, as if she hadn't noticed Lu Yang's gaze at all. She simply pointed to a towering three-story building on the east side of the square, her voice softer than usual: "That's the Outer Gate Affairs Hall. Let's... let's go in."

She took a deep breath, calmed her racing heart, and led Lu Yang through the doors of the administration office.

The lobby is extremely bright, with several fist-sized moonstones embedded in the dome, emitting a soft yet bright light.

There weren't many disciples in the hall.

As Lin Ying explained on the way, the Outer Sect Affairs Hall is mainly responsible for the disciples' basic miscellaneous tasks.

On ordinary days, the disciples mostly cultivate diligently in their own residences or go out to carry out missions, and rarely come here.

Lin Ying led Lu Yang to an empty counter with practiced ease.

"Senior Brother Steward," she nodded slightly to the middle-aged man sitting behind the counter, "this junior brother of mine has just been promoted to the outer sect and is here to register."

The middle-aged man was dressed in a dark blue deacon's robe and had a kind face.

He first glanced at Lin Ying's outer robe, then his gaze fell on Lu Yang, a hint of amazement flashing in his eyes.

He immediately revealed a gentle smile: "This junior brother is truly a handsome man... Give me your sect token."

Lu Yang did as instructed, taking out the sect token that represented his identity and handing it over.

The outer sect steward took the token and placed it on a complex and intricate array center to the side.

His fingertips danced with brilliance, and he operated with lightning speed.

The array patterns lit up in layers like ripples on water, emitting a slight buzzing sound, before returning to calm after a moment.

After completing the operation, he handed the token back to Lu Yang.

Then, he took out two neatly folded snow-white robes and a thread-bound ancient book from his storage bag.

"These are the standard uniforms for outer disciples. There are two sets, both of which are of low-grade magic artifact level, with basic functions such as dust protection and warmth."

He pointed to the two robes, then picked up the book: "This is the Outer Sect Handbook. It details the rules and regulations that outer sect disciples must follow, as well as an introduction to the sect's outer sect. Please read it carefully."

As he spoke, his smile widened, and he added, "As a junior brother newly entering the outer sect, according to sect rules, you can also receive a high-grade magic weapon as a reward. May I ask what cultivation method you specialize in? And what type of magic weapon do you need? We have a fairly complete selection here."

Lu Yang was overjoyed. He had heard before that there would be a high-grade magic weapon as a reward, and now it had finally come true.

He pondered for a moment. He was currently practicing the "Heavy Sword Technique" and would later learn the "Heavy Sword Arts". Right now, the most suitable weapon was naturally the heavy sword.

"I would like to trouble you, senior brother, I would like a heavy sword-like magical weapon."

"No problem!" The outer sect steward laughed heartily, swiping his hand across the storage pouch at his waist.

The next moment, a huge black greatsword appeared out of thin air on the counter.

This sword is over four feet long, entirely black and without luster, giving it a heavy and imposing appearance.

The sword has faint, ancient dark patterns visible on its blade, and just by lying there quietly, it gives people a heavy and oppressive feeling.

Within the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect, there are quite a few disciples who cultivate the "Heavy Sword Technique," so heavy sword-type magical artifacts are naturally readily available.

A hint of satisfaction flashed in Lu Yang's eyes. He reached out and ran his hand along the sword, and the Xuanhei Heavy Sword was put into his storage bag.

This heavy sword is enough for him to use for a while at this stage.

As for what happens next... we can wait until the auction starts and see if there are any better top-quality magical artifacts.

"Junior Brother Lu, your residence in the outer sect has been recorded in your token. You can go there at any time," the steward instructed as a final reminder.

"Thank you, senior brother." Lu Yang clasped his hands in a salute.

The deacon smiled and waved his hand: "It's my duty, junior brother, you don't need to be so polite."

Lu Yang said no more and turned to look at Wang Siyuan, who had been waiting quietly behind him.

Wang Siyuan quickly stepped forward and began processing his citizenship application.

Lu Yang withdrew his gaze, intending to take advantage of this break to chat with Lin Ying for a few more minutes and deepen their relationship.

Just then, a light screen suddenly appeared in front of him, and the system panel silently reappeared.

[Host has officially been promoted to a full-fledged employee. Rewards: +500 spell experience points, 10000 low-grade spirit stones.]

Lu Yang's eyes were filled with astonishment.

"???"

Good guy!

So, entering the outer sect of a sect is officially becoming a full member in the system?

Seriously... what kind of super-rich person in this world would actually work for someone else?!

However, when he saw the system reward, he couldn't help but gasp.

Yeah, working is really great.
