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

Even after Duan Heng and the others left, the spiritual mist in the reception room had not yet dissipated.

Sunlight streamed through the gauze curtains, making the remaining pale mist glow slightly.

Lu Yang used a low-level rebate card for this transaction involving 20 million mid-grade spirit stones.

[Designated purchase successful. Random reward multiplier: 5. Congratulations, host, you have received 1 million mid-grade spirit stones!]

Unsurprisingly, the rebate rate remains at the highest level, five times!

The original expenditure of 20 million mid-grade spirit stones was directly refunded to him as much as 100 million!

Converted to low-grade spirit stones, this amounts to a full 100 billion low-grade spirit stones!

This wealth is probably comparable to the accumulation of a top power over hundreds of years, or even longer!

However, now, spirit stones are hardly capable of causing Lu Yang to have much of an emotional reaction.

I have so much money, I'm almost numb to it.

He would prefer to obtain spiritual-grade or even higher-quality luck-related attributes, or top-tier natural treasures like Enlightenment Tea.

Unfortunately, such rewards are quite rare.

After spending 20 million mid-grade spirit stones, Lu Yang's [Super Rich Confidence] can finally be upgraded again.

The level 10 "Confidence of a Tycoon" skill requires 300 million mid-grade spirit stones to upgrade.

Lu Yang was promoted directly.

The level 11 "Confidence of a Tycoon" skill requires 1500 million mid-grade spirit stones to upgrade, significantly raising the requirements.

But that's still enough.

Ultimately, the "Confidence of a Tycoon" stat was raised to level 12.

[The Confidence of a Tycoon (Level 12): Gain 40 mid-grade spirit stones every hour (Money is the foundation of becoming a tycoon; spending 5000 million mid-grade spirit stones will upgrade this level)]

40 mid-grade spirit stones per hour, and 480 spirit stones per day (twelve hours)!

A year yields over 170,000 mid-grade spirit stones, equivalent to over 17 million low-grade spirit stones!

This is more profitable than a normal Nascent Soul stage cultivator!

There are so many spirit stones, we can't possibly spend them all.

Lu Yang sighed inwardly, feeling somewhat troubled.

After the Supreme Elder and Sect Leader of the Heavenly Craftsmanship Sect left, only Lu Yang and Mu Yunxue's group, as well as Zhang Chi and Lu Qiong, two cultivators from the Heavenly Craftsmanship Sect, remained present.

Seeing that Lu Yang remained silent, Zhang Chi felt a little uneasy.

His square face was now full of warm smiles as he tentatively asked, "Young master, if you're staying in Tiangong City, do you have a place to stay? Would you like me to arrange accommodation for you?"

Lu Yang silently closed the panel, waved his hand, and refused, saying, "No need, I can just live in the flying magic artifact."

The concentration of spiritual energy inside the Jiuhua Cloud Cart is higher than outside, and the environment is quite comfortable with no one to disturb you.

Living outside is naturally not as comfortable as living in the Jiuhua Cloud Car.

Seeing Lu Yang say this, Zhang Chi nodded repeatedly and wisely refrained from saying anything more.

Then, he instructed Lu Qiong to take Lu Yang and his group out for a stroll.

It must be said that Tiangong City, as a cultivator city on the outskirts of the Tiangong Xuanzong sect, is indeed quite prosperous.

The streets are wide, and the obsidian pavement gleams with a calm luster under the sunlight.

The houses on both sides of the street are lined up one after another, mostly three or four-story buildings, with the ground floor facing the street entirely converted into shops.

Refining workshops, elixir shops, material stores, magic treasure pavilions... all sorts of signs are on display, and spiritual light shines down from the lintels of each shop, making the whole street colorful.

The city was orderly, with occasional law enforcement disciples of the Heavenly Craftsmanship Sect patrolling the streets. They wore uniform black outfits, had law enforcement tokens hanging from their waists, and walked with steady steps.

The neighborhood is especially lively.

The goods here are even more abundant and diverse than those in the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect Market, especially various magical treasures, which are constantly appearing.

Lu Yang even saw that several time-honored shops were openly displaying top-grade magic weapons and top-grade spiritual weapons for sale!

This is almost unimaginable in the markets and wards of Qin Prefecture!

It's easy to imagine how high the quality of the magical artifacts in this Heavenly Craft City is.

Lu Yang picked out several top-grade spiritual artifacts for himself.

After all, he's about to reach the Foundation Establishment stage, so preparing the magic weapons he'll use during that period in advance is always a good idea.

He bought three sets of top-quality magical robes, simple in style: one moon white, one light blue, and one plain black.

He plans to change his clothes when the time comes.

Besides himself, he also bought several top-grade spiritual artifacts for Mu Yunxue.

Mu Yunxue initially didn't want to accept it, but Lu Yang smiled and said, "Senior Sister Mu already gave me that mysterious stone tablet, which contains top-grade cultivation techniques. What's this little thing? Are Senior Sister Mu and Junior Brother being so formal?"

Hearing Lu Yang say this, Mu Yunxue pursed her cherry lips and ultimately did not continue to refuse.

In addition, Lu Yang also bought some for his female friends Lin Ying, Jiang Shiqing, Qin Nanyue, and others, intending to give them as gifts when he returned home.

We can't favor one over the other.

Anyway, all these things together won't cost more than a few million low-grade spirit stones.

For Lu Yang, who had just acquired 200 million mid-grade spirit stones, it was nothing more than a drop in the ocean.

He felt that if he didn't spend more spirit stones, his storage ring would soon be overflowing.

When Lu Yang paid, he appeared calm and composed; to him, it was just a small amount of money.

However, the shop assistants in the magic item shop, as well as the customers who also came to buy magic items, were all dumbfounded and shocked.

This was the first time they had ever seen anyone buy magical artifacts like this.

It's practically like wholesale!

If you see something you like, just take it without hesitation!

In contrast, Mu Yunxue and Lu Qiong didn't react much.

After all, they had just witnessed Lu Yang spend a full 20 million mid-grade spirit stones just to buy a few communication jade tokens.

They were already aware of Lu Yang's spending power.

However, Lu Qiong felt quite envious.

After all, Lu Yang didn't just buy them for himself; he also bought many magical artifacts for female cultivators.

Take this aloof and taciturn female cultivator, for example. This young master bought her several top-grade spiritual artifacts without even blinking when paying for them!

As a direct disciple of the Heavenly Craftsmanship Sect, she was quite skilled at crafting magical artifacts, and her earning ability was naturally outstanding as well.

However, she didn't dare to spend that much money!

This young master is so handsome, with an ethereal air, a gentle nature, and is kind to his Daoist partner...

This female cultivator surnamed Mu is practically the enemy of all female cultivators!

They ate so well!

So what if she's a little prettier?

They didn't seem to have any expression on their faces, showing no sense of propriety whatsoever.

How could this young master Lu possibly be interested in a female cultivator like her?

Although she wasn't as pretty as the other person, she wasn't ugly either, but she felt that she was definitely no less talented than him.

Moreover, she can also craft magical artifacts!

Why didn't she win the favor of this young master Lu?

Lu Qiong's gaze towards Lu Yang was somewhat fiery, and she deliberately softened her voice when she spoke.

She even inadvertently stood very close to Lu Yang, and when introducing various shops, she would always turn her head slightly, her eyes filled with undisguised admiration.

Lu Yang naturally understood Lu Qiong's meaning.

Unfortunately, although Lu Qiong was beautiful, she did not meet the system's standards for a beautiful woman.

Otherwise, judging by the favorability rating, Lu Qiong would probably already be over 60 points, right?

However, Lu Yang bought some magical artifacts for Mu Yunxue, as well as several cute clay figurines, which increased Mu Yunxue's favorability by 3 points.

In addition, with the increase in favorability gained from discussing Daoist principles over the past few days, Mu Yunxue's favorability is now 79 points.

I'm about to reach 80 points, which will give me another favorability reward.

Lu Qiong led Lu Yang and the others on a tour, introducing them to the history of Tiangong City.

It is said that thousands of years ago, Tiangong City was just a market town on the ground, similar in size to the market town outside the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect.

Later, a Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Craftsmanship Sect obtained a special opportunity to refine weapons by chance and mastered the means to construct floating arrays.

Furthermore, the Tiangong Xuanzong sect has been developing better and better, and its accumulated foundation has become deeper and deeper.

With sufficient resources and crafting skills, Tiangong City was eventually transformed into the floating metropolis it is today.

According to Lu Qiong, the annual income that Tiangong City brings to Tiangong Xuanzong is enormous, comparable to that of a relatively weak top-tier power.

Lu Yang couldn't help but sigh, the Heavenly Craftsmanship Sect truly lived up to its reputation as a top-tier force in Jingzhou, its strength was indeed extraordinary.

At the same time, Lu Yang also received information from Lu Qiong about the once-every-ten-years Tiangong City auction.

That was a grand event for the Heavenly Craftsmanship Sect to showcase its top-notch weapon-refining capabilities. At that time, the most outstanding batch of magical treasures refined by the Heavenly Craftsmanship Sect in the past ten years would be auctioned off.

Sects and independent cultivators from several nearby states will flock to the auction, vying for the prize.

Of course, in addition to magic weapons, there are also cultivation techniques, talismans, rare and precious materials for auction.

This piqued Lu Yang's interest.

After all, some rare natural treasures are rarely seen on ordinary days, but they may be encountered at auctions.

For example, the drop of Azure Jade Liquid that Lu Yang encountered in the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect market before the New Year was a similar rare and precious material.

He possessed a vast quantity of spirit stones and naturally hoped to exchange them for even rarer and more precious natural treasures.

Unfortunately, the next Tiangong City auction is still four years away, so for now we can only wait.

After strolling around Tiangong City, Lu Yang and Mu Yunxue returned to Jiuhua Cloud Carriage.

The two stepped into the car, and the bronze hinges slowly closed behind them, shutting out the hustle and bustle of the city.

Mu Yunxue, who had been mostly silent outside, turned to look at Lu Yang, her cold eyes filled with the same expectation as always: "Discussion?"

Lu Yang smiled and said, "Let's go."

…………

Over the next few days, Lu Yang and Mu Yunxue occasionally went out to explore and see if there were any new rare items in Tiangong City, but spent most of their time cultivating in the small world inside the Jiuhua Cloud Carriage.

During the day, the two studied cultivation techniques and exchanged insights in the palace study of the small world, and in the evening they returned to their respective cultivation rooms to meditate and cultivate.

Lu Yang completed all three daily tasks without fail.

Time flies like an arrow, and in the blink of an eye, it's February 17th.

This day, in the cultivation room.

The warm light from the pale golden dome shone through the gauze window of the training room, casting a soft shadow on the floor.

The patterns of the spirit-gathering array flowed slowly across the floor, continuously drawing in the extremely dense spiritual energy from the small world, forming a layer of pale white spiritual mist visible to the naked eye in the room.

Lu Yang sat cross-legged on the futon, his eyes slightly closed, his hands forming a mudra at his dantian.

The spiritual energy circulates throughout his body's meridians, starting from the dantian, flowing along the Ren and Du meridians, circulating through his limbs and bones, and finally returning to the dantian.

After completing one full cycle, Lu Yang clearly felt that the spiritual energy in his dantian was already at its maximum, with no room for further improvement.

He opened his eyes, a look of joy appearing in them.

It's finally complete!

From breaking through to the late stage of Qi Refining to now, it has only been a little over a month, and he has already reached the perfection of Qi Refining!

This cultivation speed is something that even Mu Yunxue back then probably couldn't match!

Abundant spiritual energy, a high-level Golden Rainbow Sword Manual, top-grade spiritual roots, top-grade Yellow Dragon Pills, and so on...

A combination of factors led to Lu Yang's astonishing progress in cultivation!

and……

With his current top-grade spiritual root, plus the experience he gained from breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage when using the [Power of Money], he has the potential to achieve this.

He can try to break through now!

Lu Yang suppressed his excitement, took a deep breath, and decided to make a concerted effort to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage!
