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

After breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage, Lu Yang's life remained largely unchanged.

During the day, Mu Yunxue continued her reading as usual, but she had been staying in the cultivation room these past few days and hadn't come out to discuss Dao with Lu Yang.

Lu Yang guessed that this ice-cold senior sister might be a little shy?

Could it be that I teased her too much before?

He thought of Mu Yunxue's fleeing figure that day and couldn't help but chuckle.

Mu Yunxue did not seek out Lu Yang to discuss the Dao, so Lu Yang spent more time on comprehending the cultivation techniques.

In the evening, he practiced as usual, just like before.

The only problem is that he doesn't have any Foundation Establishment stage cultivation pills, so he can only continue to cultivate using top-grade Yellow Dragon Pills.

The Supreme Yellow Dragon Pill is the strongest cultivation pill for Qi Refining stage cultivators, but its effect is greatly reduced for Foundation Establishment stage cultivators.

In addition, the total amount of spiritual energy required to break through each minor realm in the Foundation Establishment stage is far greater than that in the Qi Refining stage.

Lu Yang's cultivation progress also slowed down noticeably.

Lu Yang was not surprised at all.

After all, even a genius like Mu Yunxue with a superior spiritual root took nearly two years to break through to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.

Even so, the speed is still ridiculously fast.

After all, a Foundation Establishment cultivator has a lifespan of two hundred years, which means it took less than one percent of the time to break through to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.

For ordinary Foundation Establishment stage cultivators, breaking through once every forty or fifty years is the norm.

In fact, there are many cultivators who are stuck in the early stage of Foundation Establishment for their entire lives if their spiritual roots are of low quality.

Lu Yang was very calm; he was only twenty years old.

If we consider the lifespan of two hundred years for those in the Foundation Establishment stage, he is currently equivalent to a mortal of only ten years old.

There's plenty of time ahead of us, no need to rush.

…………

On February 22nd, the weather was clear and cloudless.

The sun hung high in the sky, its rays pouring down and enveloping the entire Tiangong City in a warm, golden glow.

This enormous city, suspended in the azure sky, cast a huge shadow over the vast plains below.

At dawn, shops throughout the city had already opened, and wisps of white smoke rose from the stoves. The savory aroma of meat fillings and the sweet fragrance of Linggu porridge mingled together in the steamed bun shops, drifting far along the stone-paved streets.

Especially those shops that specialize in spiritual food, the aroma is so enticing that it can be smelled from half a street away, enticing passing cultivators to rush into the shops.

The number of pedestrians on the street gradually increased. Some were wandering cultivators hurrying to the market, while others entered various shops to buy supplies needed for cultivation or items needed for combat, such as talismans and pills.

In the open space of the market area, independent cultivators spread out animal hides and set up stalls. Monster materials, herbs, ores, and old magic tools were all scattered on the ground, and shouts rose and fell, making it quite lively.

In the heart of Tiangong City, within the manor exclusively belonging to the Tiangong Xuanzong sect, a different kind of tranquility prevailed.

A white jade wall encloses a large area of ​​pavilions and towers, where several verdant plants grow lush and vibrant, and a spring flows tinklingly beside the rockery.

The square is paved with bluestone, and the spirit-gathering array pillars at the four corners slowly draw in the surrounding spiritual energy, giving off a faint white halo in the morning light.

A streak of light flew in from afar, silently landing on the plaza and transforming into the likeness of Duan Heng.

Today, the leader of the Tiangong Xuanzong sect was dressed in a dark blue brocade robe, embroidered with the sect's mountain gate pattern, and had a red copper belt buckle around his waist. He looked energetic and neat.

His face was amiable, and the same friendly smile always graced his lips, but his eyes revealed a hint of shrewdness and competence.

Zhang Chi, the elder of the Foreign Affairs Hall with a square face and a somewhat dull appearance, was already waiting in the square.

Upon seeing Duan Heng, he immediately cupped his hands and bowed, saying, "Zhang Chi greets the Sect Leader!"

Beside Zhang Chi was Lu Qiong, a direct disciple of the Heavenly Craftsmanship Sect. She bowed and greeted the Sect Master in a clear voice: "Lu Qiong greets the Sect Master."

Duan Heng nodded, his gaze falling on the ancient bronze chariot standing quietly in the center of the square.

The pale gold array patterns on the nine-tiered canopy were slowly flowing, sometimes bright and sometimes dim. The nine cloud dragons had already turned into clouds and dissipated. The ancient chariot was quietly parked on the bluestone slab, yet it possessed a solemn and imposing aura that commanded respect.

Duan Heng withdrew his gaze and asked, "Young master, have you been satisfied with these past few days? Have you been neglecting us?"

Because Lu Yang gave us just too many spirit stones.

These days, including him, all the Nascent Soul stage experts of the Heavenly Craftsmanship Sect are working overtime to rush to produce that batch of top-grade sound transmission jade tablets.

Therefore, Duan Heng has not had time to pay attention to Lu Yang's movements in Tiangong City these days.

Now, he brought ten newly crafted top-grade sound transmission jade tablets to deliver the first batch of finished products. He was about to meet that mysterious and noble young master, so he naturally needed to ask him first to avoid any mishaps on the spot.

Zhang Chi quickly waved his hands: "No, no!"

At this point, Zhang Chi paused for a moment before continuing, "This young master Lu used to occasionally take the ancient carriage to visit Tiangong City a few days ago, but he hasn't come out in the last few days."

Duan Heng nodded slightly, feeling somewhat relieved.

It's good that nothing unexpected happened.

Hearing this conversation, Lu Qiong felt a bitter taste in her mouth.

She had originally hoped that if she spent more time with this young master Lu, she might be able to win his favor.

If that's the case, I can also enjoy the same treatment as that female cultivator surnamed Mu, getting whatever I want.

Moreover, she could become a Daoist partner with the exceptionally handsome and otherworldly Young Master Lu.

Just thinking about it makes one restless.

But reality is often disappointing.

Just a few days ago, Young Master Lu was still interested in Tiangong City, but later he simply became too lazy to come out.

She naturally dared not send a telepathic message to Young Master Lu to ask if he wanted to go out and play; she could only wait.

Unexpectedly, this wait has lasted until now.

From initial anticipation to utter despair, it only took a few days in total.

Lu Qiong was a popular female cultivator within the sect.

As a direct disciple, her weapon-refining skills are among the best of her generation, and her cultivation talent is also quite good. In addition, with her beautiful face, she is often surrounded by her fellow disciples who fawn over her.

But she never fell in love with anyone, always feeling that her fellow students were either too impetuous or too vulgar.

Who would have thought that fortunes would turn around and I would one day be the one chasing after someone else?

As Lu Qiong sighed inwardly, Duan Heng nodded and said, "In that case, come with me to see Young Master Lu!"

He straightened his clothes and, leading Zhang Chi and Lu Qiong, arrived in front of the ancient bronze chariot.

The pale gold patterns on the nine-tiered canopy still flowed silently, and the nine dragon reliefs on the bronze chariot walls gleamed with an ancient and profound luster under the sunlight.

Duan Heng took a deep breath, cupped his hands, and announced loudly, "Young Master Lu, Duan Heng requests an audience. Part of your communication jade tablet has been completed!"

As soon as Duan Heng finished speaking, the window on the side of the ancient chariot opened.

The gauze curtain was lifted from the inside, revealing Lu Yang's exceptionally handsome face.

Sunlight streamed through the gaps in the canopy's patterns, casting dappled golden shadows on his plain white robes, making him appear even more gentle and refined.

Looking at that face, Duan Heng couldn't help but feel a pang of emotion.

Every time he saw this young master Lu, he couldn't help but think that this young master was truly a peerless figure.

Lu Qiong, standing to the side, was even more miserable.

She stared intently at the face inside the window, her gaze fixed on Lu Yang, unable to even blink.

A faint blush of dazedness rose on her round, oval face, and her breathing unconsciously became lighter.

All the longing and disappointment that had accumulated over the days surged up the moment she saw that face, making her heart ache and feel bitter.

Although Zhang Chi was briefly stunned by Lu Yang's charm, he was, after all, a late-stage Golden Core cultivator, and quickly regained his composure.

He caught a glimpse of Lu Qiong's absent-minded appearance out of the corner of his eye, and his heart skipped a beat.

He remained outwardly calm, but secretly he quickly transmitted his voice, shouting, "Lu Qiong! Wake up!"

Lu Qiong trembled slightly, then suddenly came to her senses and looked at Zhang Chi with a blank expression, as if she had just woken up from a long dream.

Zhang Chi sighed inwardly, and transmitted his voice with a hint of disappointment, "You... could it be that you've fallen into a love tribulation and developed a demon in your heart?"

These words were like a bucket of ice water poured over my head.

Lu Qiong's heart skipped a beat, and a fine layer of cold sweat instantly seeped out on her back.

Having sought him so desperately yet failed to obtain him, the image of Young Master Lu had already been etched into her heart.

He lost his appetite and couldn't concentrate on his cultivation. His mind was filled with images of Young Master Lu, and he even dreamed of his handsome and unparalleled figure.

If this continues, it might really become a mental demon!

When I break through to the Golden Core stage, I might trigger the inner demon tribulation ahead of time!

At that time, at best, one will fail to break through; at worst, one will suffer a qi deviation, resulting in death and the dissipation of one's cultivation!

Thinking of this, her face paled slightly, and she quickly transmitted her voice, "Thank you for your guidance, Martial Uncle..."

Zhang Chi sighed and transmitted his voice, "I'll give you a Tranquilizing Pill later. It's my fault; I really shouldn't have arranged for you to receive Young Master Lu in the first place."

Zhang Chi also felt some regret.

He and Lu Qiong's master had a very close relationship. Since a young master of such noble and mysterious status as Lu Qiong needed someone to receive him, it was only natural that the good things should not go to outsiders.

He had originally planned to have Lu Qiong receive Young Master Lu. Putting aside everything else, having another high-level connection would be a good thing.

If Lu Qiong encounters any difficulties in the future, perhaps people will remember their past friendship and lend a helping hand.

Who knew that this young master Lu was so outstanding that his proud and arrogant junior apprentice developed a demon in his heart!

It's truly a case of good intentions gone wrong.

Since he caused the trouble himself, Zhang Chi naturally has to take responsibility. Otherwise, Lu Qiong's master would definitely be furious with him!

He glanced at Lu Qiong, whose face was pale and whose expression was still somewhat dazed, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

This young master Lu... truly is a banished immortal from a turbid world; one glimpse and you're doomed for life.

Thinking of this, he silently shook his head.

Just then, Lu Yang smiled gently and asked, "Senior Duan, have you finished refining a portion?"

Duan Heng nodded and said, "Yes, as per your request, young master, we have worked hard to produce ten communication jade tablets. You can check their quality! If there is anything you are not satisfied with, we can make adjustments."

As he spoke, he took out a palm-sized, dark blue storage bag.

With a gentle push, the storage bag floated up and drifted steadily toward Lu Yang.

Lu Yang reached out and took it. When his fingertips touched the surface of the bag, he felt a slight coolness.

The storage bag is made of some kind of spiritual silkworm silk, which is quite exquisite in terms of packaging alone.

He probed it with his divine sense and immediately saw ten sound transmission jade tablets inside the storage bag.

He took one out and examined it in his hand.

The jade plaque is pure white, about the size of a palm, and no more than half a finger thick. It is warm and smooth to the touch.

The jade pendant was covered with densely packed runes on both sides. These runes were intricate and detailed, several times more complex than the patterns on ordinary magical artifacts. Each line was as fine as a hair, yet each line was distinct and not connected.

The runes shimmered with faint white light, echoing each other and forming a very subtle spiritual resonance.

Duan Heng, standing outside the carriage, explained, "This communication jade tablet is crafted primarily from top-grade divine soul jade, supplemented with over ten kinds of precious auxiliary materials such as nine-refined soul crystals and ethereal stone powder. The value of the materials alone is extremely high. Essentially, this communication jade tablet is equivalent to a special divine soul-type magic weapon. After refining it, you can directly store it in your sea of ​​consciousness and nurture it with your divine sense. In the future, when you need to transmit your voice, you will not need to take out the jade tablet. You only need to communicate with the rune array on the jade tablet in your sea of ​​consciousness with your divine sense to complete the transmission directly within your sea of ​​consciousness. Moreover, after storing it in your sea of ​​consciousness, the rune array on the jade tablet will automatically integrate with your divine sense fluctuations. The longer you use it, the higher the speed and clarity of the transmission will be."

Hearing this, Lu Yang raised an eyebrow slightly, glancing at him with some surprise: "Directly absorb into your sea of ​​consciousness for telepathic transmission?"

It's important to know that most of the sound transmission jade pendants on the market can only establish a basic connection with the sea of ​​consciousness. When someone transmits a sound, you can sense it through the fluctuations in your sea of ​​consciousness.

But if you want to transmit audio, you still have to take it out.

This sound transmission jade tablet can be directly stored in the sea of ​​consciousness, and can also transmit sound directly within the sea of ​​consciousness.

This means that you can send and receive messages at any time and place, even in situations where it is inconvenient to retrieve items in front of others.

This is truly extraordinary.

As expected of the Heavenly Craftsmanship Sect, which is famous in the Eastern Region for its weapon crafting, they do have some real skills!

Five hundred thousand mid-grade spirit stones per stone, so it's not a complete waste!
