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

The air was somewhat quiet.

The sunlight in the square was still bright, and a few unidentified white birds flew over the city wall, leaving behind two short cries.

Mo Qianjun and the others exchanged a glance, conveying a subtle meaning.

Then, Mo Qianjun coughed lightly, breaking the silence first.

The white-haired old man carefully chose his words, his tone tinged with uncertainty: "Young master, the communication jade tablet you mentioned, capable of covering the entire Eastern Region and even a wider area, is indeed no problem to craft. However... a communication jade tablet with such a wide range requires extremely high-quality Divine Soul Jade as the main material, and the runes drawn on it are also quite complex. The price of the finished product is probably comparable to a top-grade spiritual treasure."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Lu Yang, wanting to see Lu Yang's friendly reaction.

After all, who would be willing to pay a price comparable to a top-grade spiritual treasure for a communication jade tablet?

However, upon hearing this, Lu Yang smiled and casually replied, "As long as it can be refined, the price doesn't matter."

For Lu Yang, the communication jade tablet was used to contact his lovers, so the higher the quality, the better.

As for the price... what he has in abundance right now is spirit stones.

Mo Qianjun and the others exchanged bewildered glances: "..."

Is there really such a person who uses top-grade divine soul jade to refine a communication jade tablet, something that's not very useful?

Seeing that the others remained silent, Lu Yang assumed they didn't believe he had enough spirit stones.

He smiled and asked, "Elder Mo, could you give me a specific price?"

Mo Qianjun took a deep breath, then said solemnly, "Our Heavenly Craftsmanship Sect's treasure trove contains top-grade Divine Soul Jade. If we refine it and inscribe runes on it, the finished product can cover up to two great domains. This is the limit that our refining techniques can achieve. As for the price, this level of communication jade tablet is not easy to refine, and the materials used are quite valuable... One would cost approximately 50 mid-grade spirit stones."

Mu Yunxue, who had been silent the whole time, couldn't help but show a flicker of emotion in her usually cold eyes upon hearing the offer.

500,000 mid-grade spirit stones, that's a whopping 50 million low-grade spirit stones!

It should be noted that a top-grade magic weapon only costs tens of thousands of low-grade spirit stones.

At this price, you could buy a pretty good magical artifact!

Now it's only being used to buy a single jade pendant for transmitting sound?

Even someone as aloof as Mu Yunxue felt it was a waste.

In the past, she would never have meddled in other people's business.

After all, she had no interest in or concern for other people's affairs.

However, since the other party was Lu Yang, she couldn't help but instinctively send a telepathic message: "Junior Brother Lu... is it really necessary to buy such a high-level telepathic jade token?"

Lu Yang glanced at Mu Yunxue with some surprise.

Sunlight shone on her fair profile, her pretty face still as cold and aloof as snow, only her cherry lips were slightly pursed, her expression a little solemn.

Based on his understanding of Mu Yunxue, this ice-cold senior sister didn't seem to be the type of person who would persuade others.

I never expected that he would say that to him.

A slight smile played on his lips as he transmitted his voice, "What? Senior Sister Mu, are you worried about me wasting spirit stones?"

Mu Yunxue: "..."

She glanced at Lu Yang, pursed her lips, and, as always, said earnestly and frankly, "A little. Too expensive."

Hearing Mu Yunxue's sincere and calm tone, which showed no shyness whatsoever, Lu Yang couldn't help but grin.

Is this senior sister being direct again?

He gently transmitted his voice, "Senior sister, don't worry, these spirit stones are nothing to me."

Seeing Lu Yang say this, Mu Yunxue stopped trying to persuade him and simply nodded slightly: "Mm."

Duan Heng and the others were all Nascent Soul stage cultivators, so they could naturally sense the soul fluctuations between Lu Yang and Mu Yunxue.

They were all old folks who had lived for so long, so they naturally understood that they were discussing whether or not to buy the sound transmission jade tablet.

To be honest, even though they were master craftsmen who had crafted various magical treasures for many powerful individuals and were quite knowledgeable, they still felt there was no need to buy such a communication jade tablet.

Such a waste.

In their view, Lu Yang would ultimately choose the inferior sound transmission jade tablet.

However, Lu Yang nodded calmly and said casually, "This specification is fine then. Give me forty. Do you have any in stock?"

Lu Yang currently has over 19 billion low-grade spirit stones and over 4 million mid-grade spirit stones.

In total, there are over 23 billion low-grade spirit stones.

However, there is a certain premium when exchanging mid-grade spirit stones for low-grade spirit stones.

Lu Yang calculated it as 2000 million mid-grade spirit stones.

That's enough to buy about 40 sound transmission jade pendants.

In fact, Lu Yang doesn't need that many sound transmission jade tablets right now.

After all, this communication jade tablet is only for Lu Yang himself, a few of his lovers, the Lu family, and Li Ao.

However, who knows if there will be more concubines or more servants in the future?

It's always better to have it on hand than to be unprepared.

Anyway, he plans to use this transaction to get a rebate, so he'll definitely spend as much as he can.

Mu Yunxue: "????"

Duan Heng and the others: "????"

Lu Yang's words left everyone present wide-eyed and filled with questions.

Even with Mu Yunxue's aloof nature, she looked at Lu Yang with disbelief.

She originally thought that Lu Yang would at most buy two or three of these level of sound transmission jade tablets.

You're offering me forty coins right off the bat?!

That adds up to a full twenty million mid-grade spirit stones!

Let alone Nascent Soul stage cultivators, even a powerful cultivator in the Deity Transformation stage probably couldn't come up with that many spirit stones!

Mu Yunxue opened her mouth, wanting to try to persuade her again, but in the end she didn't say anything.

After spending some time together, she had come to understand Lu's personality somewhat.

Once he's made a decision, he won't easily change it.

and……

Given Junior Brother Lu's background and status, taking out these mid-grade spirit stones might not be too much of a burden for him.

Although Mu Yunxue felt a pang of heartache, she ultimately held back.

Mo Qianjun and the others, however, did not feel sorry for him.

They were completely bewildered.

Even though they've been refining weapons for hundreds of years, they've never seen a customer like Lu Yang!

A single order of twenty million mid-grade spirit stones is something that only happens in strategic transactions between sects!

This kind of deal might only happen once in a century!

This time, it was a personal transaction!

One person's spirit stones are equivalent to the strategic reserves of a top sect.

Just outrageous!

Even if a Nascent Soul stage cultivator asked them to refine magic weapons, they wouldn't make such a large order!

However, Duan Heng was, after all, the leader of the Tiangong Xuanzong sect. He quickly regained his composure, and a friendly, businessman-like smile immediately appeared on his face, his eyes almost disappearing from his smile.

His voice was filled with barely suppressed excitement as he said, "Young Master, 40 top-grade communication jade tokens will cost 20 million mid-grade spirit stones. Are you sure?"

Lu Yang nodded, his tone firm yet calm: "Of course. It would be best if you had the goods in stock; I'll pay with spirit stones now."

Upon hearing this, Duan Heng's bright smile froze, turning into a wry smile.

He waved his hands repeatedly, his tone tinged with apology, saying, "Young master is too kind. No one has ever bought a communication jade pendant of this quality before. You are the first. How could we possibly have one in stock?"

He paused for a moment, then continued, "However, crafting a communication jade tablet isn't as complicated as crafting a magic weapon. The few of us can work together, and with our full effort, we can complete it in just three months!"

Lu Yang frowned: "That long?"

He thought for a moment and then asked, "How long would it take to refine ten?"

In the early stages, ten should be enough. He can take some first and then refine the rest slowly.

Upon hearing this, Duan Heng immediately replied, "Ten of them can be refined in less than a month."

Lu Yang nodded slightly: "Then refine ten for me first. I'll wait for you in Tiangong City."

Duan Heng quickly replied with a smile, "No problem! Of course, no problem!"

He paused, rubbed his hands together, his smile growing even warmer, and carefully chose his tone before asking, "However... how will the payment be made? Could you perhaps pay a partial deposit first, young master?"

Lu Yang glanced at Duan Heng and chuckled, "No need for that. Let's pay in full at once; I'll give it to you now."

Just kidding, he was planning to use this transaction to get a rebate, so naturally he wouldn't split the payment.

Mo Heng and the others: "????"

They were all numb.

Having worked as a weapon refiner for so many years, I know that when customizing a magical artifact, the first step is to pay a deposit, and only after the artifact is completed and inspected and found to be in good condition, is the final payment made.

They can understand this.

After all, no one's spirit stones come from thin air, so naturally, risks must be considered.

If the product doesn't meet your needs, and you've already paid in full upfront, you'll be completely ripped off.

The young master's spirit stone seemed to have been blown in by a strong wind.

They were incredibly generous.

I paid the full amount before I even received the goods.

This is a customer they could never have dreamed of!

Mo Qianjun immediately patted his chest and assured him, "Young Master, rest assured, we will do our utmost! We will refine ten communication jade tablets for you as quickly as possible!"

Lu Yang nodded and chuckled, "As long as you take it to heart."

Afterwards, Lu Yang and his group went to a private reception room in the manor.

The reception room was quite spacious and equipped with several layers of soundproof and defensive arrays, so that no sound from outside could get in.

Based on the exchange rate between mid-grade and low-grade spirit stones, 105 low-grade spirit stones can be exchanged for 1 mid-grade spirit stone.

Lu Yang used 19 billion low-grade spirit stones to exchange for the item. If that wasn't enough, he used mid-grade spirit stones to make up the difference, resulting in a total of 20 million mid-grade spirit stones.

In this way, the rebate is also in the form of mid-grade spirit stones.

Although it appears that Lu Yang spent more low-grade spirit stones.

However, the rebate is in the form of mid-grade spirit stones, which is enough to make up for the loss, and there might even be more.

Not to mention, the uses of low-grade spirit stones are far less extensive than those of mid-grade spirit stones.

For Lu Yang, exchanging them for mid-grade spirit stones would only bring him benefits.

When the mountain of spirit stones poured out of Lu Yang's storage ring, the entire reception room was filled with the light of the spirit stones.

The dense, almost viscous spiritual energy rose from the pile of spirit stones, transforming into a layer of pale white mist visible to the naked eye under the indoor lights, slowly swirling around.

Duan Heng and the others put away the mountain of spirit stones, their smiles never fading.

After collecting the spirit stones, they couldn't wait to say goodbye and go back to refine the communication jade tablets.

He solemnly instructed Zhang Chi to treat Lu Yang well.
