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

Each swing of the sword involved subtle adjustments, and each gathering of qi was more precise and freer than the last.

When spell experience is exhausted, the information on the panel has changed.

Greatsword skill has reached the maximum level!

Like the Heavy Sword Technique, its maximum level is also 5.

【Heavy Sword Technique (Max Level)】: Reduces the spiritual energy consumed by casting Heavy Sword Technique by 50%.

Lu Yang slowly opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing in them.

The max-level effect reduces spiritual energy consumption by 50%, which, combined with the previous max-level Heavy Sword Technique's reduced condensation time by 30% and increased power by 50%, further enhances its effectiveness.

All of these combined represent a complete transformation!

He took out the dark black heavy sword and began to practice the heavy sword technique.

With just a gentle push of his spiritual energy, the heavy sword emitted a rich golden light in just half a breath.

The sword hummed, and the oppressive aura, as deep and imposing as a mountain, was more restrained yet more dangerous than before.

The spiritual energy consumption is much less than before, only about one-fifteenth of it.

As for its power, Lu Yang glanced around and didn't dare to try it here.

With a max-level Heavy Sword Technique and a max-level Heavy Sword Skill, this one strike might just demolish his little house.

Forget it.

As Lu Yang's spiritual energy receded, the light on the heavy sword dimmed.

With his current maxed-out heavy sword technique, he can control it with complete ease.

At this point, neither the Heavy Sword Technique nor the Heavy Sword Arts could be improved further!

Lu Yang sheathed his heavy sword, looked up at the horizon of the sea of ​​clouds outside the window, and pondered his next plan.

Next, I will focus on improving my cultivation level.

Once the auction starts, he'll spend all his spirit stones, then use a rebate card to double them, and once he's accumulated enough, he'll exchange them for contribution points.

With contribution points, you can exchange them for higher-grade cultivation techniques and spells in the library.

Although the Heavy Sword Technique is only a high-grade Yellow Rank technique, its actual effect after reaching the maximum level is not much worse than those low-grade or even mid-grade Profound Rank techniques that have not been mastered to a high degree. It is sufficient for now.

Once his ranking in the outer sect improves and he gains higher exchange privileges, it won't be too late to directly exchange for high-grade or even top-grade Xuan-level cultivation techniques.

The same principle applies to magic.

He can still hold out for a while with his heavy sword technique, but he only has one offensive spell at the moment; he hasn't learned any defensive spells or escape techniques yet.

These two types of spells must be prioritized.

After that, we'll see if there are any other spells in the sect worth practicing.

With so many spells piled up together, it'll be enough for him to digest for quite some time.

In just over two months, it will be the end of the year, and then the outer gate assessment will be held.

However, Lu Yang had heard Qin Nanyue mention before that outer disciples do not need to take an assessment in their first year, so he doesn't need to rush this year.

If we can achieve a good result by the end of next year, we will have achieved our goal.

Ideally, we should be in the top 100!

But Lu Yang also knew in his heart that this was extremely difficult.

The top 100 are basically all at the peak of Qi Refining. They have been cultivating and honing their skills in the outer sect for twenty or thirty years. How can a newcomer who has just entered the outer sect catch up so easily?

However, let's strive in this direction first and see how things go.

He shook his head, stopped thinking about it, closed his eyes, and began to cultivate.

…………

Time flies like sand, and half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

For the past two weeks, Lu Yang has consistently completed his daily tasks.

Physical fitness, intelligence, and charm steadily increase at a rate of 0.1 points per day.

[Physical Fitness: 6.3]

【Intelligence: 5.4】

【Charm: 5.3】

[Spiritual Root: Superior Grade (1250/10000)]

This is his current basic panel.

Needless to say, his three basic attributes are outstanding. His physique has far surpassed that of other body cultivators of the same level. His comprehension has definitely increased dozens of times compared to the beginning. His appearance hasn't changed much, but his temperament is getting better every day.

Regarding spiritual roots, I consistently invest 50 points of general experience every day without fail.

It takes 10,000 experience points to upgrade a superior spiritual root to a top-grade one. At this rate, it will take 200 days to accumulate enough.

It only takes two hundred days to upgrade from a superior spiritual root to a top-grade spiritual root!

If this gets out, the entire cultivation world will be in an uproar.

After breaking through to the superior-grade spiritual root, Lu Yang's cultivation speed was several times faster than when he was at the middle-grade level. With the double assistance of the max-level heavy sword technique and spiritual food and pills, his cultivation improved every day.

At this rate, he is confident that he can break through to the late stage of Qi Refining before next year's assessment.

In just over a year, he progressed from the mid-stage to the late-stage of Qi Refining. This speed is so fast that even top-grade spiritual root geniuses with limited resources might not be able to match it, let alone ordinary disciples.

That morning, after finishing his daily tasks, Lu Yang pushed open the door and left the small building.

Today is the opening day of the sect auction, which is related to his entire plan to double his spirit stones, so of course he has to go.

Yesterday, Qin Nanyue and Lin Ying had already arranged to meet him via telepathy using the sect token. The three of them would go together and meet at the outer sect square.

When Lu Yang arrived, he could see Qin Nanyue and Lin Ying already standing by the sword-testing stone at the edge of the square, waiting.

Two stunning beauties stood side by side. One was tall and slender, carrying a long sword on her back, with a striking and heroic air about her. The other was delicate and gentle, as quiet as a pool of spring water.

The mountain breeze rustled their clothes and hair, attracting the attention of many outer disciples passing by, some of whom slowed their pace.

Qin Nanyue spotted Lu Yang at a glance.

She crossed her arms and asked, somewhat puzzled, "Lu Yang, why are you so slow? What happened? The auction is about to start."

Lu Yang smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just took a little longer to cultivate."

Lin Ying hadn't seen Lu Yang for half a month, and from the moment he appeared, her eyes never left his face.

As she stared, her gaze became somewhat fixed, her lips moved, and she subconsciously murmured, "Junior Brother Lu seems even more handsome..."

Although the voice was soft, Qin Nanyue, who was standing nearby, heard it clearly.

She glanced helplessly at Lin Ying, who was swooning over her crush, and said irritably, "Yes, yes, your Junior Brother Lu is the most handsome~~ Alright, let's go, the auction is about to start."

Lin Ying snapped back to reality, realizing that she had just blurted out what she was thinking.

Her cheeks flushed bright red, and even the tips of her ears turned pink.

Seeing her embarrassed expression, Lu Yang smiled slightly at her.

Lin Ying's heart skipped a beat when she saw his smile, and she quickly lowered her head.

Without further delay, the three hurried towards the market.

Because of the auction, the market was much busier than usual today.

The main street of the bluestone was bustling with people, with cultivators jostling shoulder to shoulder and pedestrians coming and going in an endless stream.

The group included outer and inner disciples of the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect, cultivators from various nearby families and minor sects, and all sorts of independent cultivators with diverse backgrounds.

The shouts, bargaining, and cries of the mythical beasts blended into a cacophony of sounds.

When those aristocratic cultivators and independent cultivators see a disciple of the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect dressed in traditional attire, they almost always instinctively give way.

Especially Lu Yang and his two companions, the man was handsome and the woman was beautiful, their appearance and temperament far surpassed ordinary people, anyone who saw them would feel that these three were not ordinary disciples.

Wherever the three passed, the crowd automatically parted to make way, saving them the trouble of being jostled.

Soon, they passed through the bustling streets and arrived at the tallest Xuanjin Pavilion in the deepest part of the market.

The pavilion has upturned eaves and corners, and a solemn atmosphere. Above the main gate hangs a huge plaque with gold characters on a black background, which reads "Jin Hong Lou" in strong and vigorous strokes, with a faint air of sword energy flowing through it.

At this moment, the area in front of the building was already crowded with people, and several queues for entry stretched from the entrance all the way to the center of the street, slowly moving forward.

Qin Nanyue glanced at the densely packed queue, a slight smile playing on her lips, and said with a light laugh, "I have a VIP pass; we'll go through the VIP passage."
