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

Seeing that Lu Yang had agreed, Jiang Shiqing's bright, watery eyes immediately lit up.

She smiled broadly, her tone filled with excitement and eagerness: "Then I'll tell Senior Sister Yaoyao! We'll arrange a time!"

Lu Yang nodded slightly, then reached out and pinched Jiang Shiqing's bright and tender face in an annoyed manner.

His fingertips touched something smooth and warm. He applied a little pressure, his tone carrying a serious tone of admonition: "You, don't forget about your cultivation."

Everything else is fine, but Jiang Shiqing's own cultivation cannot be neglected.

After all, this directly relates to the completion of random tasks, and the general experience rewarded by random tasks is quite valuable to him.

Jiang Shiqing's cheeks were being pinched, but she didn't flinch. She just nodded repeatedly, her voice carrying a hint of coquettish assurance: "Don't worry, young master~ I know."

Lu Yang nodded slightly, then released his grip and turned to go to the cultivation room.

He planned to first assess the results of this trip.

The light in the meditation room was soft.

The spirit lamps embedded in the four walls emitted a steady warm light, and the spirit-gathering array on the ground was operating on its own, slowly drawing in the spirit mist, which was ten times more concentrated than the surrounding mountain peaks, forming a very thin layer of white mist inside the room.

The air was filled with the lingering fragrance of Enlightenment Tea, a scent left behind by Jiang Shiqing when she was comprehending the cultivation technique here.

Lu Yang sat cross-legged on the futon and opened the system panel.

First, there's the confidence of a super-rich person.

The search expenditure of 80 million mid-grade spirit stones just now has met the upgrade requirements.

Currently, [The Confidence of a Tycoon] is at level 12, and it will take 50 million mid-grade spirit stones to upgrade to level 13. Without hesitation, Lu Yang chose to upgrade.

[The Confidence of a Tycoon (Level 13): Gain 80 mid-grade spirit stones every hour (Money is the foundation of becoming a tycoon; upgrade by spending 2 million mid-grade spirit stones)]

The upgrade threshold jumped directly to 200 million mid-grade spirit stones, a fourfold increase, which is quite high.

Although Lu Yang still has nearly 40 million mid-grade spirit stones accumulated on his progress bar after upgrading, he is still far from 200 million mid-grade spirit stones.

It doesn't matter, he still has a [Super Rich's Confidence] upgrade card, which should be able to upgrade [Super Rich's Confidence].

He clicked on the instructions for the upgrade card, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Sure enough, it was exactly as he had thought.

[The Confidence of a Tycoon Upgrade Card: After use, the level of [The Confidence of a Tycoon] will be directly increased by 1 level.]

Without the slightest hesitation, Lu Yang used the upgrade card directly.

The next moment, [The Confidence of a Tycoon] increased by 1 level again, reaching level 14.

[The Confidence of a Tycoon (Level 14): Gain 160 mid-grade spirit stones every hour (Money is the foundation of becoming a tycoon; upgrade by spending 8 million mid-grade spirit stones)]

You can get a full 160 mid-grade spirit stones every hour, 1920 a day, and 700,000 a year!

This income is something that even Nascent Soul stage cultivators cannot achieve.

That's roughly equivalent to being able to buy a decent spiritual treasure every year.

Lu Yang nodded slightly, satisfied.

He then checked the other two rewards.

[The Myriad Manifestations Merchant Alliance: A comprehensive commercial alliance spanning the entire Eastern Region, it is a super alliance integrating various shops selling elixirs, talismans, magical artifacts, and formations. Its headquarters are located in Daozhou. The host can directly travel to the headquarters to take over the assets.]

Lu Yang's eyes lit up, and he revealed a bright smile.

This is the second award Lu Yang has received for his work in the real economy!

The first one, naturally, is Miaoshou Pharmacy.

However, Miaoshou Pharmacy is just a chain of medicine shops distributed throughout the seven kingdoms of Qinzhou.

However, the Wanxiang Business Alliance is a super-large joint business alliance that spans the entire Eastern Region!

The size difference between the two is so great that it's no exaggeration to say they are like a sparrow compared to a roc!

This Wanxiang Business Alliance will likely generate very considerable revenue each year.

Of course, if Lu Yang wanted more spirit stones, he could simply use a rebate card to get rebates.

The most important thing about the Wanxiang Business Alliance is its vast network covering the entire Eastern Region!

Such a commercial behemoth is probably much stronger than that of a typical top sect, and there should be more than one or two Nascent Soul stage cultivators stationed inside!

If, like with the previous Miaoshou Pharmacy, he takes over the Wanxiang Business Alliance and the person in charge follows his orders.

That would be equivalent to him gaining several Nascent Soul stage cultivators for free, as well as a super-powerful force that spread throughout the entire Eastern Region!

I'm absolutely thrilled!

Daozhou...

Lu Yang glanced at the location of the headquarters of the Wanxiang Business Alliance.

The Eastern Region comprises thirty-six states, with Daozhou located in the central part of the eastern region.

He remembered that the Tai Xuan Dao Sect, one of the two great immortal sects in the Eastern Region, was located in Daozhou...

The sect where the Tai Xuan Dao Sect is located possesses a top-grade spiritual vein, so the spiritual energy concentration in the entire Dao Prefecture is quite high, much higher than that of ordinary large prefectures.

Therefore, Daozhou has more top-tier forces and is also more prosperous.

It is perfectly normal for Wanxiang Business Alliance, as a top-tier business alliance, to set up its headquarters in a bustling area.

However, he has never been to Daozhou.

He was somewhat curious about the legendary sacred land of immortals and thought he could go and take a look when the time came.

He remembered that the area where Zhou Mu, the Blood Demon Palace Master, was currently located, which he had searched for earlier, was not particularly far from Daozhou.

Once the operation to annihilate the Blood Demon Palace begins, we can conveniently make a trip there along the way.

Lu Yang snapped out of his thoughts and turned his attention to another reward.

[Low-grade Longevity Pill: A longevity-enhancing pill that can increase lifespan by one hundred years. Each person can only take a maximum of 5 pills. It is only effective for cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage and below.]

When Lu Yang saw the description of the pill, his eyes widened in surprise.

Directly extending lifespan by a hundred years?!

This is far superior to any longevity elixir that Lu Yang knows of!

Those longevity pills on the market that Nascent Soul stage monsters would fight tooth and nail for, are already considered rare if they can extend one's life by ten years!

A pill that can extend one's lifespan by twenty or thirty years is enough to be the grand finale item at a top auction!

Those rare and precious natural treasures that are said to be able to add a hundred years to one's lifespan are extremely rare in the entire history of the Eastern Region, and their appearance always attracts countless forces to fight for them!

Moreover, this thing can actually be used in five pieces.

That's equivalent to directly increasing your lifespan by five hundred years!

It should be noted that the lifespan of a Nascent Soul cultivator is only about a thousand years. Five hundred years is equivalent to half a day of a Nascent Soul cultivator's life!

What a powerful elixir!

Lu Yang had no doubt that if he took out this low-grade longevity pill, it would probably be enough to drive a Nascent Soul cultivator who was nearing the end of his lifespan crazy!

After all, a lifespan of a hundred years is not a small number, even for a Nascent Soul cultivator!

Perhaps, in just a hundred years, I could leap to become a Nascent Soul cultivator?

Lu Yang immediately thought of Lin Xuanchen.

This Supreme Elder of the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect is nearly a thousand years old, and his lifespan is not many years away from ending.

If we have this longevity pill, combined with the tenfold concentration of spiritual energy in the forbidden area of ​​the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect, and if I also prepare some Enlightenment Tea for him, he might really have a chance to break through to the Nascent Soul stage?

Hmm...we could consider preparing one for Lin Xuanchen.

Make a note of it first, we'll talk about it later if there's anything else.

However, before that, he had to prepare some for his elders.

The elders of the Lu family are all getting old, so naturally they also need to use this longevity pill.

With a lifespan of a hundred years, and the fact that the spiritual energy concentration of the Lu family's Dongwang Mountain has now been upgraded to a mid-grade spiritual vein, even if they only have low-grade spiritual roots, the elders of the Lu family have a good chance of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

Once the foundation is established, one can extend their lifespan by another hundred years.

Of course, by then, given Lu Yang's growth rate, he should be able to acquire more good things, and the Lu family will also be able to obtain more resources.

At that time, it's not impossible for the Lu family's cultivators to become Golden Core cultivators, or even Nascent Soul cultivators.

Thinking of this, a gentle light flashed in Lu Yang's eyes.

For him, the childhood and adolescence he spent in the Lu family were some of his warmest memories of this world.

Those rough yet sincere acts of care, those mornings spent sitting together sharing the spirit grain porridge, the calluses on Grandpa Lu Sheng's hands as he taught him to read... every scene is as clear as yesterday.

He naturally hoped that the Lu family would get better and better, and that those who had watched him grow up would go further on the path of cultivation.

However, the Lu family currently only has great-grandfather Lu Sheng and four grandfathers who are nearing the end of their lifespans.

The cultivators of Lu Yang's father's generation, as well as his older brothers of the same generation, are all still young and have sufficient lifespans.

With the resources provided by Lu Yang and the high concentration of spiritual energy in Dongwang Mountain, normal cultivation would give him a chance to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

Therefore, it seems that only five low-grade longevity pills are needed.

If you have five left, you can keep them for a rainy day.

Just then, Lu Yang suddenly thought of something.

Jiang Shiqing's ancestor, Jiang Feng, the Golden Core stage cultivator from the Jiang family, seems to be nearing the end of his life.

Lu Yang remembered that when he was in Taibai Market, Fang Xun from the Fang family told him that Jiang Feng would be gone in just a few years.

Lu Yang smiled as he recalled Jiang Shiqing's bright and beautiful face, deciding to give the girl a surprise.

And to be honest, if Jiang Feng hadn't been nearing the end of his life, he might not have taken such a gamble by bringing Jiang Shiqing to him to try his luck, and he might not have met such a thoughtful little maid.

In addition, with Jiang Shiqing's connection, Jiang Feng can be considered his elder.

Since we have the Longevity Pill, we should help him out.

Lu Yang then thought of Lin Ying, Qin Nanyue, and Mu Yunxue.

Like Jiang Shiqing, they were all Daoist partners who had consummated their marriages with him.

Although Senior Sister Mu's favorability rating isn't maxed out yet, it will be soon.

If there are also ancestral figures in their families whose lifespans are nearing their end, I can also help them.

Hmm... I'll find an opportunity to ask.

After counting all the rewards given by the system, it was already afternoon.

The spiritual mist in the forbidden area surged and flowed under the sunlight, enveloping the entire mountain in a flowing platinum.

Lu Yang did not rush to cultivate. Instead, he took out the Heavenly Rank Top-Grade Cultivation Technique "Heavenly Mark Sword Manual" that Qin Nanyue had previously rewarded him with from his storage ring.

This technique is the strongest technique Lu Yang currently possesses, with profound implications and a cultivation difficulty far exceeding any technique he has encountered before.

However, that applies to normal cultivators.

Lu Yang's current comprehension is already extremely terrifying, and he has also gained a certain understanding of swordsmanship, which is comparable to that of a Nascent Soul stage sword cultivator who normally specializes in swordsmanship.

Although the way of the sword is vast, the way of the sword cultivated by the Heavenly Mark Sword Manual may not be completely consistent with what he had previously comprehended. However, the way of the sword itself is divided into four directions: sword energy, sword intent, sword heart, and sword formation. Despite the variations, they all share the same essence and have commonalities.

In addition, there is the aid of Enlightenment Tea.

Even the highest-grade Heaven-rank sword techniques were no match for Lu Yang.

He only spent half a day to easily master the basics of the "Heavenly Mark Sword Manual".

If other cultivators knew that a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator had actually mastered a top-grade Heaven-rank cultivation technique in half a day, probably no one would believe it.

Such a speed of enlightenment can no longer be described as genius!

That's completely illogical!

After getting started, Lu Yang immediately opened the panel and focused his attention on the skill bar.

Heavenly Mark Sword Manual (Heavenly Rank Supreme) Level 1 (102/100000)

Lu Yang raised an eyebrow; it takes a full 10 points of cultivation experience to level up.

It truly lives up to its reputation as a Heavenly Rank technique.

However, Lu Yang currently has a full 41 cultivation experience points, which he has been keeping unused.

Now is the perfect time.

Without hesitation, he spent 30 cultivation experience points to upgrade the Heavenly Mark Sword Manual to level 3.

Heavenly Mark Sword Manual (Heavenly Rank Supreme) Level 3 (102/300000)

A flood of insights into the Heavenly Mark Sword Manual and the Dao of the Sword surged into Lu Yang's mind.

These insights are profound and mysterious, difficult to describe in words. It is as if invisible sword marks are slashing across one's heart, each carrying some ineffable truth of the universe.

Lu Yang picked up the Enlightenment Tea beside him and took a sip. The delicate aroma of the tea spread on his tongue, and his mind became clearer.

He closed his eyes, his mind completely immersed in this vast ocean of swordsmanship, eagerly absorbing all its mysteries.

A moment later, Lu Yang completed the absorption.

He slowly opened his eyes, and a deep, dark sword mark flashed across them.

The next moment, the air in front of him suddenly and silently cracked open.

A jet-black sword mark, about the width of a finger and the length of an arm, silently split open in the air.

The crack was about a finger's width and an arm's length, as black as ink, with the space at the edge slightly distorted, and you could vaguely see extremely fine ripples spreading outwards.

This sword mark contained a hidden, sharp power. Just by hovering there quietly, it caused the spiritual mist in the cultivation room to give way, not daring to approach it even slightly.

Lu Yang stretched out his finger and gently brushed the outside of the sword mark, as if wiping away a wisp of mist from a window. The dark sword mark disappeared instantly, leaving only a faint trace of sharp aftertaste in the air.

He smiled with satisfaction, then took out paper and pen and began to write down his insights on swordsmanship in the book "Heavenly Mark Sword Manual".

These annotations were written for Qin Nanyue.

Otherwise, given Qin Nanyue's current swordsmanship accumulation, even with the blessing of the two luck attributes [Innate Sword Bone] and [Iron Sword Grinding the Heart], it would probably take her eight to ten years to master this top-grade Heaven-rank technique.

This time has been a bit too long for Lu Yang.

Soon, the pages of the book were filled with densely packed, tiny characters.

Lu Yang meticulously broke down every word of the cultivation technique, explaining it clearly in simple and straightforward language, afraid of missing any crucial points.

After finishing all this, Lu Yang let out a slight breath and stood up to stretch.

A series of cracking sounds emanated from his entire body, which were particularly clear in the quiet training room.

He put the annotated "Heavenly Mark Sword Manual" back into his storage ring, pushed open the stone door of the training room, and walked out.

In the corridor outside the door, the soft light from the lamps cast a warm and translucent glow on the walls.

Jiang Shiqing moved a rosewood chair and a small tea table over at some point and placed them in the corridor not far from the entrance of the cultivation room.

She sat in a chair, a cup of tea that had already been refreshed several times beside her, quietly reading a volume of "Canglang Zhenjie".

The light blue long dress shimmered with a soft and elegant luster under the warm light, its hem trailing to the ground like a tranquil lake.

Her jet-black hair was loosely tied up with a jade hairpin, with a few stray strands falling behind her ears, making her bright and beautiful profile appear even whiter and softer.

Upon hearing the sound of the stone door opening, Jiang Shiqing immediately put down her book and looked up.

Upon seeing Lu Yang, her shimmering eyes suddenly lit up. She rose from her chair to greet him, her voice filled with joy: "Young Master, have you finished your cultivation?"

Lu Yang nodded slightly and glanced at the "Canglang True Explanation" in her hand, which was curled up at the edges.

Tucked between the pages of the book were several handmade annotations, clearly indicating that she had also been diligently practicing during his cultivation.

He smiled slightly and asked, "Is there anything you don't understand?"

Jiang Shiqing smiled and said, "Yes, I have noted down the parts I don't understand. I'm just waiting for you to have some free time to ask you about them."

Lu Yang nodded slightly, thought for a moment, and said, "Let's do it now."

He had also gained insights from "Canglang Zhenjie" on his way to Jingzhou.

With his current level of comprehension, even without fully immersing himself in the text, he has still elevated his understanding of "Canglang True Explanation" to a new level. Currently, Lu Yang's understanding of "Canglang True Explanation" is already at level 4.

According to the normal standards of cultivation cultivation, this is considered a perfect level of cultivation cultivation comprehension.

Perfect timing! He can take this opportunity to revise the annotations of the cultivation technique and add his latest insights.

Upon hearing Lu Yang's words, Jiang Shiqing was taken aback. She opened her mouth, and a pitiful expression appeared on her bright and pretty face: "Ah? Now? But, but it's already evening..."

Lu Yang was taken aback, looking at her with some confusion: "What happened tonight?"

A faint blush immediately appeared on Jiang Shiqing's pretty face.

She bit her lower lip, placed the book on the tea table, and walked slowly to Lu Yang.

She tiptoed, her slender arms gently encircling Lu Yang's neck, her breath sweet as orchids, her voice soft and gentle, tinged with a hint of coquettishness: "Young Master... it's been so long since you've shown Shi Qing any affection..."

She wanted to cultivate with the young master last night.

As it turns out, who knows where Nan Yue got the guts yesterday, she actually took the young master directly to her bedroom.

So last night she could only survive by using water magic.

Having finally gotten the chance, she naturally didn't want to let it slip away.

It was already dark outside the window; it was the perfect time for dual cultivation.

Looking at Jiang Shiqing's shy yet alluring appearance, a fiery glint flashed in Lu Yang's eyes.

He knows himself quite well; he is indeed a pervert.

How could he possibly resist when his beautiful, sensible, and considerate little maid was begging for his affections?

Just then, Lu Yang suddenly thought of something.

He suppressed the surging heat and took out a delicate little jade bottle from his storage ring, handing it to Jiang Shiqing in a gentle voice: "By the way, this is a longevity pill, which can add a hundred years to one's lifespan. Your ancestor doesn't have many years left to live, does he? Take this pill back to him."

Jiang Shiqing was stunned for a moment. The surging desire in her eyes, which had been filled with affection, subsided somewhat at this moment.

She even doubted if she had misheard, blinked, and murmured, "...A longevity elixir that adds a hundred years to one's life?"

Lu Yang chuckled and nodded casually, "Mm."

Jiang Shiqing's eyes immediately turned red, and tears welled up silently, sliding down her bright, fair face.

Although Jiang Shiqing is not an alchemist, she has been following Lu Yang for some time and has interacted with many Nascent Soul True Monarchs, so her horizons have naturally broadened considerably.

She knew perfectly well what a pill that could directly extend one's lifespan by a hundred years meant.

If our young master were to give this longevity pill to a Nascent Soul cultivator nearing the end of their lifespan, it would probably be enough to make that Nascent Soul cultivator risk their life for him!

Our ancestor was only at the Golden Core stage; to put it bluntly, how could he be qualified to enjoy this level of longevity pill?

But my young master just gave it to her like that!

Jiang Shiqing naturally understood that the reason why the young master gave this longevity pill to his ancestor was entirely because of her, and it was a sign of his affection for her.

That's why her heart felt like it had been hit hard by something, and a surge of bitterness and emotion welled up inside her, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.

The young master is truly good to her.

The rare and precious materials that enhance spiritual roots, the guardians of the Golden Core and Nascent Soul stages, the top-grade Earth-rank cultivation techniques, and various top-grade magic treasures, even improved her comprehension, physique, and appearance!

It can be said that the young master gave her so much!

If it weren't for the young master, she would only be a minor cultivator in the Qi Refining stage.

After the patriarch passes away, the Jiang family will be devoured by the surrounding families who are eyeing it covetously, and she will live in fear and helplessness about the future.

Everything she has now—a stable life, a bright future, the warmth of being cherished—is simply because she met the young master and received his favor.

A multitude of emotions intertwined, leaving Jiang Shiqing overwhelmed with feelings.

She hugged Lu Yang tightly, her arms wrapped around him as if she wanted to melt her whole being into his body.

She tilted her head back and kissed him passionately.

His lips, his cheeks, his chin... his red lips still carried the faint salty taste of tears, and his warm, sweet breath sprayed onto Lu Yang's face, rapid and intense.

Her voice was breathless and trembling, "Young Master... Shiqing has nothing else but her own life and soul, and this body that is at least presentable. These all belong only to you... Whatever you wish Shiqing to do, Shiqing will do!"

Her eyes, gazing up at Lu Yang, were filled with admiration and affection.

To her, the young master was everything.

He was the first light to shine in her darkness, and the person she was willing to follow for the rest of her life.

Looking at the undisguised fervor in Jiang Shiqing's eyes, and the devout and infatuated expression on her bright, beautiful face still wet with tears, Lu Yang felt a warm and gentle surge of emotion within him.

Just as he was about to speak, the panel suddenly appeared silently, followed by lines of text.

[The host is a super-rich man who has made beauties infatuated with him, willing to give everything for him. He is extremely charming. Rewards: High-level rebate card*1, low-level cultivation technique upgrade card*1, and "Return to the Hidden Dragon and Phoenix Secret Manual"*1]
