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

The experience bar for Greatsword Technique began to jump wildly.

A flood of insights into this spell poured into Lu Yang's mind like a burst dam.

How spiritual energy is compressed and condensed, how the Way of Metal and the Way of Sword intertwine and resonate, the subtle adjustments of every hand gesture, and the timing of the release and release of every wisp of spiritual energy all become clear and transparent in an instant.

When all 500 spell experience points were used up, the level of Greatsword in the skill bar had changed dramatically.

Greatsword Technique Level 3 (225/300)

In just a few breaths, the heavy sword technique jumped from level one to level three!

Lu Yang opened his eyes, gripped the dark black heavy sword in his hand, and activated the heavy sword technique once again.

This time, the speed at which spiritual energy was condensed was significantly faster.

In just four breaths, an even richer and sharper golden light burst forth from the sword, illuminating the surrounding night.

Lu Yang slashed down with his sword.

A pale golden sword shadow, tens of meters long, shot out from the sword, its momentum even more concentrated and violent than the previous sword strike, and slammed fiercely into the stone wall.

After a loud bang, a deeper and wider sword mark appeared on the stone wall than before.

Cracks spread in all directions along the sword mark, and pebbles tumbled down, crashing to the ground and raising a cloud of dust.

Lu Yang slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, looking at the shocking sword mark in front of him, his heart was filled with excitement.

This attack is at least 50% more powerful than the previous one!

He sensed the remaining spiritual energy in his body, and his smile deepened.

The spiritual energy consumed is also reduced by a full ten percent compared to before!

Don't underestimate the power of just one-tenth of the original power; this sword strike is significantly more powerful. The difference between the increase and decrease in power can be enormous in actual combat.

After returning, I will continue to reflect on it. Once I have mastered the Greatsword Technique to the maximum level, the condensation time should be reduced to less than a breath.

At that time, this spell will be able to play a huge role in actual combat!

Lu Yang was satisfied and was about to sheathe his sword and turn to leave when he suddenly heard a whooshing sound coming from afar.

He turned his head and saw a round-faced man in a white robe from the outer sect lightly leaping among the treetops, landing not far from him with a few bounds.

Zhao Qingshan was cultivating in his small building when he suddenly heard a deafening roar from not far away. Driven by curiosity, he came out to see what was going on.

He followed the sound and groped his way here. The first thing he saw was a stone wall, and his pupils suddenly contracted.

On that stone wall, two sword marks ran from top to bottom through the entire rock face, one deeper and wider than the other.

Gravel rubble was scattered all over the ground, and strong spiritual energy still lingered in the air.

Zhao Qingshan gasped.

Even with his late-stage Qi Refining cultivation, he couldn't unleash such destructive power with a full-force attack!

The cultivator who could create these two sword marks must be incredibly powerful; they would at least rank among the top five thousand in the outer sect.

His mind raced, and his gaze swept over the figure in front of the stone wall.

When he saw the person's face clearly, his mind went blank for a moment.

In all his years of life, Zhao Qingshan had never seen anyone so good-looking.

The young man, dressed in white robes, stood amidst the moonlight and pebbles, exuding an ethereal and otherworldly aura, as if all the beauty and wonder of heaven and earth were concentrated in him alone.

Who is this person?

How come I've never seen him before?

Zhao Qingshan composed himself, lightly leaped to Lu Yang's side, and greeted him with a warm smile, bowing respectfully, "Zhao Qingshan greets this senior brother! Senior brother looks somewhat unfamiliar; how come I've never seen you before?"

Lu Yang was taken aback when Zhao Qingshan addressed him as "senior brother" so readily.

His expression was somewhat subtle as he said, "I only entered the outer sect today, so I should call you senior brother."

"??????"

Zhao Qingshan's smile froze on his face, and a series of question marks popped into his mind.

You only entered the outer gate today?

So that means you just passed the assessment and are only at the mid-stage of Qi Refining?

How is that possible?

He looked again incredulously at the two grotesque sword marks on the stone wall.

Can a cultivator who has just broken through to the mid-stage of Qi Refining unleash a spell with such power?

The images of those peerless geniuses in the sect flashed through his mind subconsciously, but then he felt something was off.

True geniuses are always specially recruited into the inner sect; they never enter the outer sect.

The most likely explanation left is that this junior brother's cultivation techniques and spells are of extremely high grade, and the quality of his spiritual energy far exceeds that of others of the same grade, which is why his spells are so powerful.

This means that this junior brother has an amazing background.

Zhao Qingshan's smile became even warmer than before: "I see, no wonder I haven't seen you in this area before. May I ask your name, Junior Brother?"

"Lu Yang".

Surname Lu?

Zhao Qingshan quickly went through the names of prominent Lu families and high-ranking cultivators in his mind, but came up with nothing.

But this did not dampen his enthusiasm: "Junior Brother Lu has just entered the outer sect. If there is anything you don't understand, you can come to me anytime. I have been in the outer sect for almost twenty years. I dare not say anything else, but I know the ways of the world very well."

Lu Yang glanced at him with some surprise.

Nearly twenty years, that's longer than the time Lin Ying and Qin Nanyue spent in the outer sect.

Since both of them live in the southern district of Xuanjin Peak, it wouldn't hurt for them to get to know each other.

He nodded: "Then I'll have to trouble you, Senior Brother Zhao."

"No trouble at all. In that case, shall we exchange telepathic tokens?"

Lu Yang has no objection.

After exchanging marks, Lu Yang took his leave, put away the black heavy sword, and returned to his small building.

Pushing open the door to the cultivation room, a rich spiritual energy rushed towards you.

He sat cross-legged on the futon, feeling the spiritual energy environment that was more than twice as rich as that of the beginner disciples' residence. He breathed a satisfied sigh, closed his eyes, and began to circulate the max-level Heavy Sword Technique.

Early the next morning.

Lu Yang arrived at the outer gate square.

As the morning light pierced through the sea of ​​clouds and spilled onto the cobblestone square, more and more people began to appear.

Almost every outer disciple passing by glanced at Lu Yang, their eyes filled with undisguised amazement.

Several senior female students even boldly approached him to chat, their smiles bright and their tone warm, subtly asking him his name, which peak he was from, and even wanting to exchange telepathic tokens.

Lu Yang had already experienced all these scenes back in the residences of the newly initiated disciples.

He handled it with ease—smiling politely, never cold-faced, never ambiguous, and never leaving anyone with unnecessary expectations.

Although these senior female students are all quite good-looking, they don't meet the system's nine-point standard, so adding them would be pointless.

Moreover, having spent so much time with his two beautiful senior sisters, Lin Ying and Qin Nanyue, his standards have risen considerably, and ordinary beauty can no longer easily make his heart race.

However, no matter how aloof he acted, female classmates still kept trying to strike up conversations with him.

Just as Lu Yang was having a headache, a familiar voice came from not far away: "Junior Brother Lu!"

Lu Yang's eyes lit up immediately, and he looked up.

Qin Nanyue and Lin Ying were walking down the mountain path side by side.

It was Qin Nanyue who called out to him; her voice was clear and crisp, carrying her usual dashing spirit.

Lin Ying's ears turned red the moment she saw Lu Yang.

The scene from yesterday's bedroom uncontrollably flooded her mind, and her heart suddenly started beating faster.

When she saw Lu Yang looking at her, she quickly lowered her head, her eyes darting around as if she had done something wrong.

Qin Nanyue did not notice the unusual behavior of her best friend beside her.

She strode up to Lu Yang, looked him up and down, and a hint of amazement flashed in her eyes: "Junior Brother Lu... why do you seem to be getting more and more handsome?"

Lu Yang raised an eyebrow in surprise: "Really? Maybe you broke through in cultivation, and the spiritual energy cleansed your marrow, so your condition is better now."

Qin Nanyue looked at him suspiciously again.

A breakthrough can indeed improve one's appearance to some extent, but is the effect really that significant?

Why didn't she have such good results?

However, she didn't think much of it and coldly swept her gaze over the female cultivators around her who were still looking at Lu Yang.

When Qin Nanyue's gaze swept over them, the female cultivators' expressions changed slightly, and they quietly retreated like fallen leaves scattered by the wind.

Qin Nanyue's reputation in the outer sect is too great.

The direct descendant of the Qin family, who are at the Golden Core stage, has a background that puts them among the top in the outer sect.

Moreover, her own strength is extremely formidable, consistently ranking among the top ten in the outer sect for many years, and in the last two years she has even shown a tendency to challenge the top five.

Moreover, she is not even thirty years old yet. At this rate, she is very likely to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage before she turns thirty!

Although Qin Nanyue's talent cannot compare to those specially recruited prodigies, she is still an absolute genius that people look up to.

These female cultivators naturally dared not be presumptuous in front of Qin Nanyue.

Seeing them step back, Qin Nanyue snorted softly, withdrew her gaze, and looked at Lu Yang, saying, "Let's go, to the market."

Lu Yang smiled slightly and said sincerely, "Senior Sister Qin is so impressive."

Qin Nanyue crossed her arms, slightly raised her chin, and said in a calm tone that couldn't hide a hint of pride: "The outer sect is a place where strength matters. And coincidentally, my strength is not bad."

"Senior Sister Qin is amazing."

Qin Nanyue's lips unconsciously curved into a smile, then she realized what he meant, glanced at him sideways, and said irritably, "Junior brother, are you planning to fleece me later by praising me so much?"

Lu Yang gave a surprised look, as if he'd been found out: "We've been discovered? Senior Sister Lin, we're in for a big surprise later."

He naturally turned to look at Lin Ying. Lin Ying was startled by his call, her mind still immersed in the erotic scenes from last night.

She nodded slightly, her voice soft and gentle: "Mmm..."

Qin Nanyue then realized that Lin Ying's condition was not quite right today.

She frowned, tilting her head to examine Lin Ying's slightly flushed cheeks and evasive eyes: "Yingying, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Lin Ying shuddered and frantically shook her head, "No! I'm fine!"

If her best friend found out about her kiss with Junior Brother Lu yesterday, she felt she would have to hide in her cave for a year before she dared to see anyone again.
