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

Qi Yunshu raised her hand and gestured, a flash of spiritual light around her, and she took Lu Yang into the air, flying towards the outside of the forbidden area.

The morning breeze whistled past the two of them, and the spiritual mist surged in the mountains and forests below, with the dark blue outlines of the mountain peaks appearing and disappearing in the mist.

Soon, the two flew away from the forbidden area and entered the main sect territory of the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect.

The further they flew, the more disciples they encountered in the mountains.

Inner disciples, riding on their swords, traversed between the mountain peaks, while outer disciples walked in twos and threes along the mountain paths. Occasionally, the escape lights of a few Golden Core elders could be seen flashing by in the distance.

Qi Yunshu led Lu Yang down slowly in front of a mountain that wasn't too high.

Unlike the surrounding cave mountains shrouded in spiritual energy, this mountain exudes a cold and austere aura.

The mountain's surface was covered with a layer of light gray array patterns, which flickered in and out, completely enveloping the entire mountain peak.

Several gray-black stone palaces are located on the mountainside. Every few dozen steps in the square in front of the palaces stands a stone pillar with array patterns. The warning runes on the pillars are slowly flowing and emitting a very faint red light.

Qi Yunshu pointed to the mountain peak below and explained, "Those Golden Core stage heretical cultivators are imprisoned in the Enforcement Peak. Our Golden Rainbow Sword Sect belongs to the righteous sects and is responsible for maintaining order in Qin Prefecture. The sect's Enforcement Hall has a special arrest team targeting heretical and treacherous cultivators. Often, some powerful heretical and treacherous cultivators are captured and imprisoned here."

Lu Yang nodded, looking down at the heavily guarded Law Enforcement Peak, his tone tinged with emotion: "If it weren't for the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect keeping watch above, not to mention other areas, this region under the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect's jurisdiction alone would probably have descended into chaos long ago."

As a low-level cultivator from a minor Qi-refining family, he felt this deeply.

Even with a behemoth like the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect above them, bandit cultivators can still be frequently encountered around some markets and towns near Dongwang Mountain.

Without the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect maintaining order, the situation would be far worse than it is now.

Qi Yunshu stroked his long beard, chuckled, and a gentle composure appeared on his refined, lean face: "A stable environment is also beneficial to us cultivators. After all, when we protect this territory, the various forces within it will pay tribute to us. If we can avoid fighting and killing, that would be ideal. Fighting and killing... can lead to death. What we seek is longevity; we can't put the cart before the horse."

Lu Yang nodded in deep agreement: "That's true."

To subdue the enemy without fighting is a wisdom gained through the passage of time.

For cultivators who have lived for hundreds or thousands of years, most are not hot-blooded young people who would draw their swords at the slightest disagreement.

Only as a last resort will real force be used.

For example, when dealing with heretical practitioners and those who engage in calamity-related practices.

As they talked, they landed in the plaza in front of the largest palace halfway up Law Enforcement Peak.

The plaza is paved with dark blue diamond rock, and the rock surface is engraved with densely packed reinforcing patterns.

Two patrol teams of disciples dressed in the uniforms of the sect's law enforcement hall were patrolling back and forth in the square.

They were dressed in sharp, black outfits, with uniform law enforcement tokens and standard longswords hanging at their waists. Their steps were synchronized, and their expressions were stern.

The atmosphere here was completely different from other parts of the sect; a faint sense of solemnity and gravity seemed to permeate the air.

The patrol team was startled when they saw Qi Yunshu and immediately bowed in greeting.

The two captains, looking respectful, said, "Greetings, Master!"

After bowing, they secretly glanced at Lu Yang, their eyes filled with curiosity.

This young man in white robes was truly eye-catching.

Each time Lu Yang entered a sect, he would either ride the Flowing Light Flying Boat or the Nine-Flower Cloud Chariot. Not many people had actually seen Lu Yang.

Lu Yang's appearance was so outstanding that it involuntarily attracted everyone's attention, making many patrol team members keep a close eye on him.

Qi Yunshu stood calmly with his hands behind his back, and nodded slightly: "Mm."

Without offering further introductions, he led Lu Yang into the palace.

The palace hall had no windows, and the four stone walls were thick, cold, and hard.

However, several sets of warm-light lamps powered by spirit stones were placed inside the hall, their soft light illuminating the entire hall brightly, so it did not feel oppressive.

A faint, lingering smell of blood could be detected in the air, a lingering odor from the long-term imprisonment of serious criminals.

As soon as the two stepped into the palace, two elderly men dressed in black robes quickly came out from the inner hall to greet them.

Both men were quite old, with gray hair and beards, but they remained robust, their brows bearing the coldness and alertness honed from years of dealing with evil and treacherous cultivators.

They bowed to Qi Yunshu and said, "Sect Leader, you have arrived."

Lu Yang said he was going to check on the situation of that Golden Core stage heretical cultivator, so Qi Yunshu naturally contacted the elders of the Enforcement Peak in advance.

The two then turned to Lu Yang and bowed in unison, saying, "Greetings, Young Master Lu."

As Golden Core stage elders of the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect, the two were qualified to know Lu Yang's identity.

Lu Yang smiled slightly and nodded in return to the two elders: "Greetings, Elders."

"Please follow me, both of you!"

One of the elders from the Enforcement Peak stepped aside to lead the way, guiding the two of them deeper into the palace.

After passing through the heavy stone door at the end of the hall, Lu Yang felt as if he had entered an elaborately designed maze.

The passageways stretched out in all directions, with an iron gate reinforced with arrays every few steps. Layers of restrictive runes on the gates gleamed with a cold, eerie light in the dim corridors.

The four walked along the passage into the mountainside and then continued down the spiral stone steps.

The further down you go, the colder the air becomes, and the water droplets seeping from the stone walls gleam with a damp, chilly light under the dim glow of the lamp.

This place is deep inside the mountain of Law Enforcement Peak, completely isolated from the outside world.

After walking for a while, they arrived at a dimly lit prison cell.

In the corridor outside the cell, a Golden Core stage Enforcement Peak elder, also dressed in black robes, sat cross-legged with his eyes slightly closed and his spiritual energy flowing steadily around him, clearly having been guarding the place all along.

The cell was separated from the outside by thick black iron bars, which were covered with dark red restriction patterns and exuded a repressive and heavy spiritual pressure.

Through the bars, you can see a person locked inside the cell.

It was a middle-aged man dressed in black, with a tired expression and a thin build.

His limbs and dantian were firmly pierced and sealed by pale golden spiritual energy chains. The other end of the chains was deeply embedded in the stone wall. Whenever he made the slightest movement, the chains would emit a faint hum, suppressing his spiritual energy and physical body at the same time, making it extremely difficult to even move an arm.

The elders guarding outside the cell had obviously received the news as well.

Seeing the group approach, he nodded slightly, silently got up, and opened the cell door.

The black iron fence made a dull metallic scraping sound as it slowly parted to both sides.

Qi Yunshu gestured for Lu to enter the cell, saying, "Young Master Lu, please come in and have a look."

There was a hint of expectation in his eyes.

Lu Yang just said that he has a way to find out the organization behind this Golden Core stage evil cultivator.

If the truth can be found out, then he won't have to worry about this anymore.

An organization that can possess a heretical cultivator at the Golden Core stage is clearly not a small organization.

Most importantly, the restriction within the sea of ​​consciousness of this Golden Core stage heretical cultivator is not something that a Golden Core stage cultivator could create.

There must be Nascent Soul stage cultivators within the organization!

If a heretical organization that possesses a method to rapidly absorb blood pills and spirit pills without suffering qi deviation and has the combat power of a Nascent Soul stage cultivator is allowed to grow and expand, the damage it will cause will be incalculable!

Lu Yang nodded slightly and stepped into the cell.

The light inside the cell was even dimmer than outside, with only a few nearly exhausted lamps embedded in the stone wall, emitting a faint glow as if they were about to go out.

The air was filled with a damp, musty smell and a faint stench of blood.

The middle-aged man who was locked up noticed someone coming in and slowly opened his eyes.

His eyes were sunken, his face was as pale as paper, and his lips were chapped; clearly, the days he had been imprisoned had not been easy.

But his eyes remained gloomy and hostile, like a chained wolf.

He weakly raised his head and glanced at Lu Yang.

Upon seeing Lu Yang's appearance, even though he was in excruciating pain and sealed here, the evil cultivator at the Golden Core stage instantly forgot his suffering.

This young man in white robes seemed to be the only light in this darkness.

However, the middle-aged man quickly came to his senses.

He twitched his chapped lips, revealing a cold, disdainful sneer, and said in a hoarse voice, "What? What other ways do you have to torture me? You want me to confess? Dream on!"

Qi Yunshu did not respond to the middle-aged man's provocation, but instead turned to look at Lu Yang.

He had personally interrogated this Golden Core heretic before, but hadn't gained anything.

He had already given up hope of interrogating the middle-aged man.

Now, our only hope lies with Lu Yang.

Lu Yang remained calm, his expression unchanged.

His method was naturally to use a search module to check information about this Golden Core heretical cultivator.

Whether the Golden Core heretic talks about it or not, it has no impact on him.

Seeing that Lu Yang remained silent, Qi Yunshu and the others also fell silent.

The atmosphere in the cell suddenly became somewhat eerie.

The middle-aged man then realized what was happening.

This Nascent Soul stage True Monarch is actually led by this young man?

How is that possible?

This is a Nascent Soul True Monarch!

He would be considered a top expert in the entire Qin Province, or even the entire Eastern Region!

Such a powerful figure was actually led by a Foundation Establishment cultivator?

He frowned, a slight unease settling in his heart.

This young man is probably quite extraordinary!

But he quickly suppressed this unease.

Within his sea of ​​consciousness, there is a restriction personally set up by the Palace Master, which should be unbreakable by anyone.

At worst, I'll just die.

He would never betray the Palace Master!

If it weren't for the Palace Master, with his low-grade spiritual root talent, how would he have had the chance to break through to the Golden Core stage, and how would he have had the chance to have such a wonderful life?

Even if he were to die right now, he felt he would have come out ahead.

Thinking of this, the middle-aged man gave a cold smile and said no more.

Just then, Lu Yang looked at him and calmly asked, "Wu Yueheng?"

The middle-aged man's sneer froze instantly.

His body stiffened, his eyes widening instantly, a look of undisguised shock flashing within them: "You…"

Wu Yueheng is his name.

But... I've never said my own name!

How did this seemingly extraordinary young man know that?!

Seeing the middle-aged man's sudden change in expression, Qi Yunshu and the others also had flashing eyes, their eyes filled with shock.

They exchanged a glance, both somewhat incredulous.

They spent countless hours interrogating him, but still couldn't pry any useful information out of this evil cultivator.

It turns out that Young Master Lu had just arrived, and after only one glance, he immediately called out his name?!

How...how is this possible?

Qi Yunshu took a deep breath and asked, somewhat puzzled, "...Young Master Lu, do you know him?"

Lu Yang was taken aback, then chuckled and shook his head slightly, saying casually, "How could that be? I don't know any evil cultivator who can cultivate to the Golden Core stage."

How could a heretical cultivator reach the Golden Core stage? Who knows how many cultivators he has consumed?

If Lu Yang had known about this person, he would have had Wang Da kill him immediately.

To avoid accidentally eating someone connected to him in the future.

Upon hearing Lu Yang's words, Qi Yunshu and the others exchanged bewildered glances.

How could someone who doesn't know you call you by name the moment you meet you?!

What kind of divine power is this?!

This young master Lu... could he possibly be able to deduce the secrets of heaven?!

Then Qi Yunshu thought of all the unbelievable things Lu Yang had done before, and couldn't help but swallow hard. A thought that even he himself found absurd came to mind.

Could it be... that this Young Master Lu is truly an immortal descended to earth to experience the trials of the mortal world?
