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

At this moment, Li Yao's somewhat urgent voice pulled the young man back to reality.

"Brother, the countdown is on, are you still bidding?"

The young man came to his senses and pondered for a moment.

Honestly, this price isn't really worth it.

But seeing Li Yao's expectant expression, he still said, "Thirty-two thousand five hundred!"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than Qin Nanyue's voice rang out without hesitation: "Thirty-three thousand!"

The young man shook his head and leaned back in his chair: "It seems the eldest daughter of the Qin family is determined to win. There's no point in continuing to compete."

Li Yao frowned, his tone displeased: "Brother, didn't you say you'd give me a gift upon joining? Why did you stop filming?"

The young man looked at him, his tone becoming more serious: "This price is no longer worth it. Although our Li family is not poor, spirit stones don't come from thin air. We must spend every penny that is necessary, and we cannot waste money on things that are not necessary."

Upon hearing this, Li Yao felt a surge of anger welling up inside him, but he managed to suppress it.

He gritted his teeth and swallowed back the curse words along with his saliva.

Damn it, what's Li Feng pretending for?!

If he weren't short of money, he wouldn't bother coming with Li Feng to put up with this nonsense. He always had to listen to Li Feng nagging about how bad this was and how bad that was, it was so annoying!

He glared resentfully toward the direction of VIP room number 15 on the second floor, a flash of malice crossing his eyes.

The Qin family...

The Qin family's strength is not much weaker than the Li family's, so he really can't afford to retaliate.

Let's see who that kid who bought the top-grade Yellow Dragon Pill is.

If he doesn't have any connections, then don't blame him for being impolite.

Thinking about this, he felt a pang of frustration again.

He was doing just fine in the Li family, getting whatever he wanted, but those old guys insisted on sending him to the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect, saying it was for further training and improvement.

Where in the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect can one find the same carefree life as in the Li family?

While Li Yao was feeling extremely frustrated, Liu Yaoyao's countdown had already ended.

A captivating smile bloomed on her face, and her magnetic voice rose slightly: "Congratulations to VIP guest number fifteen on the second floor for winning the bid for the Gold and White Sword Mark Waist Belt!"

Inside the private room.

Qin Nanyue relaxed her tense body, leaned back in her chair, exhaled, and chuckled, "It's alright, within my acceptable range."

Lu Yang looked at her with a half-smile: "Do you have enough money? Do you want me to lend you some?"

A hint of embarrassment appeared on Qin Nanyue's face.

Her earlier teasing remarks to Lu Yang have now come back to haunt her.

She said irritably, "Don't worry! It's just enough."

After saying that, she showed a pained expression and muttered, "After paying this, I'll have less than five hundred spirit stones left."

Lin Ying grasped Qin Nanyue's hand and smiled gently, "Nanyue, if you're short on money, I can lend you some spirit stones to tide you over."

Qin Nanyue immediately hugged Lin Ying, burying her face in the crook of her shoulder, her voice full of emotion: "My Yingying is still the best to me!"

She might not accept other people's kindness, but Yingying is her good friend, so she naturally wouldn't refuse.

Moreover, she had already planned it out in her mind: after the New Year, when the family sends over the resources, she will use the pretext of interest to repay Yingying a little more.

This silly girl doesn't earn money easily by refining pills; we can't always let her be so frugal.

Lin Ying and Qin Nanyue were clearly already used to this kind of intimacy.

Lin Ying gently patted Qin Nanyue's back, a faint smile appearing on her gentle face: "Alright, alright, get up, Junior Brother Lu is watching."

Qin Nanyue's body stiffened slightly.

She had been so carried away that she completely forgot that Lu Yang was sitting next to her.

A barely perceptible blush rose from the bottom of her heart. She quickly sat up straight, straightened her clothes, and pretended that nothing had happened.

Lin Ying watched her reaction quietly, her lips curving into a gentle smile.

Qin Nanyue felt uncomfortable under her gaze and couldn't help but ask, "Yingying, what's wrong?"

Lin Ying shook her head and said softly, "It's nothing. The next item for auction has started, let's take a look."

Lu Yang sat to the side, taking in the interaction between the two women.

When he saw Qin Nanyue and Lin Ying hugging, he unconsciously touched his nose.

These two have a really good relationship.

I wonder if things will get even better once their affection levels are maxed out?

This thought stirred a burning desire within him.

However, he quickly put the idea aside and focused his attention back on the auction stage.

Since the gold and white sword-marked waistband, the quality of subsequent auction items has clearly improved.

Even top-grade talismans started appearing on the stage, but unfortunately, the quantity was too small and the price was not high, so Lu Yang couldn't muster any interest in making a purchase.

He was waiting for something more expensive to come.

Soon, another top-grade magic artifact was brought up.

This time it's a fire-based magical artifact.

It's not very useful for Lu Yang, who is preparing to cultivate both swordsmanship and metal cultivation.

If one does not cultivate in accordance with the Great Dao, such a magical artifact can only exert its own power and cannot resonate with and amplify it with one's own Dao, thus diminishing its value.

Perhaps because most of the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect cultivators present also followed the path of swordsmanship or metal magic, the bidding for this top-grade magic weapon was less enthusiastic than expected. In the end, it was sold for only 28,000 low-grade spirit stones, which was a bit lower than the previous golden-white sword-marked waistband.

As the hammer fell, what Liu Yaoyao brought up next was actually a second-tier treasure.

Lu Yang frowned slightly: "The first-tier auction items are all gone?"

Qin Nanyue casually replied, "That's about right. Today's auction has already featured quite a few rare spiritual herbs and ores among the first-tier items, as well as two top-grade magic artifacts. The value of these items is quite high."

Lu Yang was speechless for a moment.

He had originally planned to bid on another expensive, top-grade magic artifact, but the first-tier stage ended just like that.

He hesitated for a moment, then his gaze fell on the second-tier treasure on the stage.

Or... should I buy a Tier 2 item?

The price of second-tier items would only be higher, which perfectly matched the spending needs of the intermediate rebate card he had.

Although we don't need it right now, we might need it in the future.

He didn't rush to make a decision, intending to see if there was anything else that could move him.

If you have them, sell them; if not, keep these 100,000 low-grade spirit stones for now and exchange them for sect contribution points later.

Anyway, the money has to be spent eventually, otherwise the "confidence of a super-rich person" won't be able to rise.

The bidding price for second-tier treasures is indeed much higher than that for first-tier treasures.

Items costing several thousand low-grade spirit stones are considered ordinary, while those costing tens of thousands are not uncommon, and some even fetched over fifty thousand.

But after looking at them one by one, not a single one could move Lu Yang's heart.

He leaned back in his chair, his fingers unconsciously tapping lightly on the armrest, a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

Just then, a mysterious smile suddenly appeared on Liu Yaoyao's face on the high platform.

Her voice lowered slightly, like a lover's whisper, with a hint of teasing: "Next up is the last treasure of this auction... To be honest, even Yaoyao herself is a little tempted by this treasure."

As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the entire auction hall changed drastically.

The independent cultivators on the first floor, already struggling to breathe under the weight of the exorbitant prices, instinctively sat up straight, and a few soft noises came from the VIP boxes.

Lu Yang abandoned his lazy posture, and a hint of anticipation appeared in his eyes.

The grand finale should have some weight, right?

Seemingly sensing the gazes of the entire room, Liu Yaoyao stopped keeping everyone in suspense.

She took out a small wooden bottle from her storage bag, gently pinched the neck of the bottle with her fair fingers, and showed it to everyone.

The wooden bottle is no more than the thickness of a thumb, its body as smooth and warm as jade, with a faint bluish luster.

The glow of the lamp in the private room fell upon it, creating a very faint halo around the bottle, making it clear at a glance that it was no ordinary item.

Her voice carried an undisguised excitement: "As you all know, a cultivator's divine sense is extremely important, especially when breaking through to the Golden Core and Nascent Soul stages, where divine sense is the most crucial element..."

Before the words were even finished, a Foundation Establishment cultivator on the first floor couldn't help but ask loudly, "Fellow Daoist Liu, could this be a treasure for enhancing divine sense?!"

Liu Yaoyao smiled, a smile so alluring that many cultivators in the audience felt their hearts skip a beat: "That's right, it's the ultimate treasure for enhancing divine sense! A drop of thousand-year-old Azure Jade Liquid!"

The entire auction hall fell silent instantly.

"If a Qi Refining stage practitioner takes this, there is a very high chance that their divine sense will awaken directly; if a Foundation Establishment stage practitioner takes it, the strength of their divine sense will be greatly enhanced." Liu Yaoyao's voice was unhurried, each word clearly reaching everyone's ears in the silent air.

The silence lasted only a moment before being broken by a heavy breathing sound.

All the cultivators present had their eyes glued to the small wooden bottle, their gazes burning so intensely they seemed to ignite the air.
