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

Jiuhua Cloud Chariot: A miniature world inside.

The warm light from the pale golden sky spread evenly over the spirit fields and spirit pools, reflecting shimmering gold fragments on the water's surface.

In the distance, several palaces stood quietly in the center of this small world, their eaves and brackets casting soft shadows under the bright dome.

Lu Yang and Mu Yunxue followed the winding stone path through the spirit fields, passed through the herb garden, and returned to the palace complex.

Both of them now live in the central main hall.

Mu Yunxue went straight to the cultivation room to cultivate, while Lu Yang returned to his own room.

Inside the room, the rosewood bookshelf against the wall was still quite empty, and a warm light lamp powered by a spirit stone sat on a low table by the window, its soft glow making the whole room feel cozy and comfortable.

Lu Yang sat down beside the bed made of spirit wood and couldn't wait to open the system panel.

He first checked the list of female admirers.

Sure enough, two more names appeared inside.

Qingluo (Favorability: 1), Shen Hongyu (Favorability: 10)

Lu Yang couldn't help but grin.

Good heavens, that snake demon Qingluo only has 1 point of favorability towards him?!

You know, he's incredibly charming right now.

Normally, people of the opposite sex would feel some attraction to him, right?

If his charm level wasn't that high, wouldn't Qingluo's favorability towards him be negative?

It seems there is indeed a natural barrier between demons and humans. Even if he did nothing, the other party would instinctively keep their distance.

However, Lu Yang didn't care.

I've already received the reward for adding a friend: one million mid-grade spirit stones plus a luck attribute. It's a win-win situation no matter how you look at it.

Shen Hongyu's favorability rating is much more normal now.

You start with 10 points. If you have the opportunity to learn more, it shouldn't be too difficult to improve them, right?

Since there's been a transaction involving the Nine-Patterned Vermilion Flame Fruit, there should be opportunities to do business with them again in the future.

Lu Yang stopped paying attention to the "Beauty" section and instead checked the "Luck" entry that he hadn't looked at in the rewards earlier.

The two Nascent Soul stage beauties will each receive a bonus, including one Luck attribute.

Lu Yang first opened the rewards from Qingluo.

【Azure Dragon Pattern (Spiritual Grade)】: An azure dragon coils its body, with Yi wood forming its scales. The power of an ancient sacred beast flows within you.

Effects: The speed of comprehending Wood Dao techniques and spells is increased by two times, the speed of comprehending Wood Dao laws is increased by 50%, the power of Wood Dao spells is doubled, the physical body gains the [Azure Dragon Scale Armor] effect, light blue dragon scale patterns appear on the body surface, and the physical body's defense is doubled.

Lu Yang's eyes narrowed as he smiled.

Another rare item with a lucky charm attribute!

Similar to the Golden Sword Bone, which enhances the metal and sword paths, the Azure Dragon Pattern of Wood enhances the speed of comprehending wood-based spells and techniques, while also increasing the comprehending of laws and the power of spells!

These bonuses combined can completely turn an ordinary cultivator into a genius!

Not only that, this luck attribute can even double his physical defense!

You should know that Lu Yang's physical body is now at the level of a Foundation Establishment stage body cultivator!

If it were doubled again, his physical defense would probably be stronger than that of a magic weapon of the same level!

It's easy to imagine how powerful this Azure Dragon Pattern of Wood is!

Moreover, with the Azure Dragon Pattern of the Wood, it will be much easier for him to cultivate the Azure Wood Longevity Technique!

Lu Yang nodded in satisfaction and then checked another entry related to luck.

【Nirvana Flame (Spiritual Grade)】: A Nirvana Flame, eternally burning, floats within the dantian. It is a trace of the original fire that was lost during the phoenix's rebirth.

Effect: Upon death, you can be resurrected at full health. During resurrection, your physical body and soul will be tempered and enhanced! The Nirvana Flame requires a hundred years to accumulate and can be triggered once every hundred years.

"hiss……"

Lu Yang took a deep breath, his heart pounding wildly.

resurrection!

This luck-related attribute can actually revive you after death!

The most outrageous thing is that after being resurrected, one can actually temper both the physical body and the soul!

That's like having an extra life!

And you can even become stronger after you die!

Although this luck attribute isn't like the Golden Sword Bone or the Azure Dragon Pattern of the Wood, which can directly enhance his talent and combat power, it's still ridiculously strong.

Although he now possesses the two super-rich attributes of "Power of Money" and "Abundance of Money," he is generally not easy to kill.

But there's always a chance of something going wrong.

With this seed of rebirth, I can finally rest easy.

Even if you die, you can be resurrected!

Now you can have as much fun as you want!

She's a beauty at the Nascent Soul stage after all; the rewards are amazing!

If the rewards for a Nascent Soul stage beauty are this good, what kind of rewards would there be for a Divine Transformation stage beauty, or even one above that stage?

Lu Yang couldn't help but feel a little curious.

However, it's probably very difficult to encounter a woman of this caliber.

He shook his head, trying to clear his mind of these chaotic thoughts.

In any case, the most important thing is one's own self-cultivation.

Cultivate! Cultivate!

Through these days of cultivation, Lu Yang felt that he was getting closer and closer to the perfection of Qi Refining.

With his current top-grade spiritual root talent, combined with the breakthrough insights brought by the power of money, the bottleneck of the Foundation Establishment stage is no different from nothing for him. As long as he can reach the Qi Refining Perfection stage, he can easily break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

He sat cross-legged on the bed, closed his eyes slightly, and began his daily practice.

…………

February 12th, the weather was sunny and a cool breeze was blowing.

After passing through the Tianduan Mountains, the view suddenly opened up.

On the Qinzhou side, the endless, gloomy clouds seemed to be blocked by the mountains on the other side, while on the Jingzhou side, the sky was clear and cloudless.

Nine cloud dragons rode on white clouds, pulling an ancient bronze chariot that moved steadily through the sky, much faster than the flying boat.

In just over two days, the ancient chariot had penetrated deep into the heart of Jingzhou and approached the sphere of influence of the Tiangong Xuanzong.

Jingzhou's terrain slopes from west to east.

From a high altitude, the western mountains rise one after another, with numerous mine entrances and smelting workshops built against the mountainsides faintly visible between them. Wisps of smoke rise from the chimneys of the workshops, leaving pale gray trails against the azure sky.

The eastern plains are dotted with lakes and rivers of all sizes, forming a dense network of waterways and vast fields.

The entire continent's geological veins contain extremely rich spiritual mineral resources. It is said that the types of spiritual minerals discovered in Jingzhou account for more than one-third of the entire Eastern Region.

It is precisely because of this unique mineral resource that Jingzhou has become a renowned weapon-refining prefecture in the Eastern Region.

The Heavenly Craftsmanship Sect is one of the most prestigious weapon-refining sects.

The Tiangong Xuanzong sect is located in the Tiangong Mountains in the central part of Jingzhou, a mountain range composed of dozens of active volcanoes and numerous normal peaks.

In the distance, wisps of white smoke rise from several volcanic craters, and occasionally a dark red flame flashes across the mountainside. A faint smell of sulfur can be detected in the air.

Deep within the earth's veins lies a fiery spiritual vein, which is also a top-grade spiritual vein.

This gave the Heavenly Craftsmanship Sect a nearly inexhaustible source of natural fire when forging weapons.

Throughout the entire mountain range, open-pit mines of various minerals can be seen everywhere. Combined with the magma and fire, this environment is truly unique for weapon refiners.

On the outer edge of the Tiangong Mountains, there floats an enormous floating city.

The city was entirely crafted from obsidian and copper, and its circumference was more than ten kilometers.

The solidity of obsidian and the weight of copper essence intertwine, giving the entire city an ancient and indestructible dark red luster under the sunlight.

The city walls were covered with dense array runes: defensive arrays, spirit-gathering arrays, stabilizing arrays, wind-avoiding arrays... layer upon layer. From a distance, the array patterns looked like blood vessels covering every inch of the city's surface, occasionally flashing with a burst of light.

This is Tiangong City.

It belongs to the Tiangong Xuanzong sect and is a city specifically for cultivators.

The city has a high concentration of spiritual energy, and the Tiangong Xuanzong sect and even the entire Jingzhou weapon-refining industry chain are located here, attracting a large number of cultivators to live here year-round.

At the same time, every ten years, the Tiangong Xuanzong would hold a Tiangong Auction here.

This auction is a grand event for the entire Jingzhou, where various top-grade magical treasures crafted by the Tiangong Xuanzong sect will be auctioned.

Cultivators from many nearby states flock to the auction, all vying for a top-grade magic weapon crafted by the Heavenly Craftsmanship Sect.

At this moment, outside Tiangong City, a lively scene unfolded.

Under the azure sky, cultivators from all walks of life either rode on swords, leaving trails of light of various colors; or rode on all sorts of flying mounts, from iron-winged eagles to four-winged winged horses; occasionally, a few small and medium-sized flying boats would slowly pass by, the array runes on their hulls gleaming warmly in the sunlight.

The cultivators in the Qi Refining stage lined up and went up and down via the floating staircase that led directly to the ground.

Those were several elevator platforms maintained by the power of an array. When a cultivator stood on a platform, the array would activate and the platform would rise, eventually ascending into the city.

Just then, a patch of pure white cloud suddenly appeared on the horizon of the azure sky.

The cloud formations approached Tiangong City at an extremely fast speed.

Nine cloud dragons, each fifty feet long, stood on clouds, their heads held high. Behind them, nine bronze ropes stretched taut, pulling an ancient and dignified bronze chariot.

The nine-tiered canopy, with its array patterns shimmering with pale golden light, stood out strikingly against the clear sky.

All the cultivators nearby who saw the bronze chariot being led by the cloud dragon changed their expressions and quickly moved aside, not daring to get any closer, thus creating a wide passage in the air.

"The cloud dragon pulling the carriage, is that young master?!"

"It should be him. I heard before that he crossed the Tianduan Mountains and entered Jingzhou, but I didn't expect him to actually reach Tiangong City!"

"Hiss... I heard that young master's servant is a senior cultivator at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, and he also has a natal spirit beast at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage! I wonder what his background is like, it's truly terrifying!"

"Shh... let's not discuss these things, lest we displease the important person!"

What happened in the Tianduan Mountains occurred just two days ago.

The Golden Core cultivators who were watching from afar at the time all witnessed Wang Da's divine power.

Nine suns swept across the sky, crushing the combined attack of more than ten transformed demons in one strike, and also killing a transformed demon at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage!

That terrifying power naturally spread.

Information from various jade tablets circulated between the two states, and many people have now heard about what happened back then.

The iconic nine cloud dragons and the seemingly understated yet luxurious bronze chariot were immediately recognized upon their appearance.

Some cultivators have even begun to take out their communication jade tablets to inform the forces behind them.

In order to avoid having any fools in your household who might offend the important figures on this ancient bronze chariot!

The Jiuhua Cloud Chariot moved at an extremely fast speed, arriving outside Tiangong City amidst the awe-inspiring gazes of numerous cultivators.

Just then, a beam of light suddenly flew out from inside the city.

The speed of the escape light was extremely fast, and it arrived in front of the ancient chariot in an instant.

The light faded, revealing a tall, middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man had a square face, thick eyebrows and lips, and looked somewhat dull.

He was dressed in a dark blue close-fitting outfit, with faint golden runes flowing across the fabric, each turn emitting a very faint glow.

A red copper belt buckle was tied around his waist, inlaid with several thumb-sized fire-attribute spirit stones, radiating warm spiritual energy fluctuations.

He wore a pair of dark red metallic combat boots, the surface of which was also engraved with intricate patterns.

A collection of high-quality magical artifacts!

His aura was at the late stage of the Golden Core realm. At this moment, facing the natural pressure emanating from the nine cloud dragons, a fine layer of sweat had seeped from his forehead and slowly slid down his square face.

However, the middle-aged man didn't bother to wipe it. He immediately bowed, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and said in a loud voice, "Zhang Chi, Elder of the External Affairs Hall of the Heavenly Craftsmanship Sect, greets Your Excellency. Welcome to my Heavenly Craftsmanship City! I have already notified the Sect Leader, who will come to greet you immediately!"
