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

The night breeze in the mountains swept across the clearing, rustling the branches and leaves overhead.

The silvery moonlight spilled onto the open ground, clearly highlighting the boy's excited face.

Lu Yang let out a long breath, and the surging heat in his chest gradually subsided with that breath.

He turned his gaze to the luminous flying boat in his system inventory.

Even through the pale blue light barrier of the backpack space, the outline of the airship was still clearly visible.

The ship is entirely pale gold, with layers of intricate patterns engraved on its surface. These patterns are complex and mysterious, and under the dim light, they faintly shimmer with a dark golden halo, giving it a very high-end feel at first glance.

In the center of the flying boat stands a seven-story building with upturned eaves and intricately carved window frames. Under the eaves of each floor hangs a row of small copper bells, and even when still, one can imagine the crisp sound they would make when blown by the wind.

There is a slightly shorter building on each side of the tall building, and the overall layout is well-organized, like a small floating palace.

As for the interior room layout and furnishings, it's not very clear through the system inventory; you can only imagine it from the description.

Refining room, alchemy room, spirit beast pen, spirit field nursery... these actually appeared on a flying magic weapon. Just reading these names once felt incredibly luxurious.

Lu Yang was itching to see it and wished he could release it right now and jump on it to explore it inside and out.

This is a flying boat of the highest grade magic weapon level!

Even ordinary magical flying boats are ridiculously expensive on the market.

Foundation Establishment cultivators who want to save up enough spirit stones to buy a ship have to tighten their belts for quite some time.

As for top-grade magic treasures—even a very small number of experts at the Golden Core stage might only possess one.

But then I thought about it again, and realized that the commotion caused by the flying boat was too great.

A hundred-foot-long ship appeared out of thin air beside the Jinyang Mountains. Even in the dead of night, its spiritual light could illuminate half the mountain as if it were daytime.

At that time, not only will fellow disciples passing by be alarmed, but even the elders of the sect might be alerted.

Let's wait until we need it before we talk about it.

Suppressing his anticipation, Lu Yang took out the control array plate of the Flowing Light Flying Boat from his backpack.

The array plate was about the size of a palm, made of a dark golden spiritual metal that he couldn't recognize. It felt heavy in his hand and had a cool, smooth texture.

The surface of the plate was also covered with dense array patterns, even finer than those on the flying boat. In the very center was a pale blue spirit crystal the size of a bean, which was flashing a faint light, like a sleeping heart beating quietly.

He played with it for a while before carefully putting the array plate into his storage bag.

After putting everything away, Lu Yang silently planned out his upcoming schedule.

The Golden-White Sword-Marked Waistband needs to be refined, the Storage Ring needs to be refined, and the Control Array Plate of the Flowing Light Flying Boat also needs to be refined. None of the three items can be omitted, and it will probably take quite a bit of time.

However, each of these things is very useful to him, and he certainly cannot skimp on the time spent on them.

Lu Yang shook his head, no longer thinking about the schedule, and turned his attention back to the system panel.

He selected the intermediate rebate card in his system inventory and designated it for the transaction of purchasing the Azure Jade Liquid at today's auction.

The text on the panel began to surge and change, finally settling into a line of large, golden characters.

[Designated purchase successful. Random reward multiplier: 10. Congratulations, host, you have received 100 million low-grade spirit stones!]

Lu Yang's pupils dilated suddenly.

"..."

He opened his mouth, but for a moment no sound came out. In the quiet forest, only the sound of his own heartbeat could be heard pounding in his ears.

What the hell!

Highest multiple!

ten times!

Not only did he buy a drop of Azure Jade Liquid with 100,000 low-grade spirit stones, but he also gave him a rebate of one million.

One million low-grade spirit stones!

That's a million bucks!

Many Golden Core cultivators with slightly weaker foundations probably couldn't even scrape together that amount of wealth even if they put all their assets together!

Lu Yang discovered that his luck had been ridiculously good lately.

Having used the rebate card so many times, I've mostly gotten the highest multiplier, except for two times when it only reached four times.

Even at four times, it's already the second highest multiplier.

He couldn't help but chuckle—could it be that after the system awakened, he would become the chosen one?

How come I always have such good luck when drawing multipliers?

Of course, good luck is always a good thing.

Who wouldn't be happy to get several times more spirit stones back?

Lu Yang rubbed his face vigorously, forcibly suppressing the excitement that was about to leap out of his throat.

He turned his gaze to his own panel attributes and stopped looking at the "Confidence of a Tycoon" section.

After spending over 100,000 at today's auction, the upgrade notification light has already lit up.

Lu Yang had a sudden thought and chose to upgrade.

[The Confidence of a Tycoon (Level 6): Gain 32 low-grade spirit stones every hour (Money is the foundation of becoming a tycoon; upgrade by spending 300000 low-grade spirit stones)]

32 stones per hour, which adds up to 11520 low-grade spirit stones per month!

That's over 130,000 pieces a year!

This number, when placed among Qi Refining stage cultivators, is already an overwhelming force, like Mount Tai crushing everything in its path.

Even among Foundation Establishment cultivators, this is not a paltry sum.

What's even better is that the upgrade requirement for the next level is simply spending 300,000.

He currently holds over a million low-grade spirit stones in his hand!

In other words, he could easily be promoted another level.

If you advance to the next level, your monthly passive income can double again.

Lu Yang stared at the line "The confidence of a super-rich man" for a long time, unable to suppress the smile on his lips.

The sense of satisfaction that welled up in my heart was thick and warm, like drinking a cup of piping hot spiritual tea on a cold winter's day.

Today's auction was incredibly fruitful.

He earned over a million spirit stones, and also retrieved the Azure Jade Liquid, the top-grade Yellow Dragon Pill, the Golden-White Sword Mark Waistband, the mid-level storage ring, the Flowing Light Flying Boat, the Golden Core Puppet Bodyguard Team, plus a mercenary contract that could summon peak Nascent Soul combat power...

In just one day, his wealth had jumped from tens of thousands of spirit stones to millions of spirit stones.

It seems I can't miss a single auction every year from now on.

Coincidentally, he also added Liu Yaoyao's telepathic mark.

With this insider around, we can find out in advance what good items will be available at the auction and make plans accordingly.

Thinking of this, Lu Yang shifted his gaze to the "Beauty" module on the panel.

Originally, there were only two names on it: Lin Ying and Qin Nanyue.

Now, there's another line—

Liu Yaoyao (Favorability: 10)

Unlike Qin Nanyue and Lin Ying, who have high favorability ratings, Liu Yaoyao's favorability rating is currently only a pitiful ten points.

You're still a long way from reaching the minimum reward threshold of 60 points.

However, Lu Yang was not in a hurry about this.

After all, Liu Yaoyao was already an inner disciple in the Foundation Establishment stage, while he was just a Qi Refining stage cultivator who had just entered the outer sect.

The two were from completely different social circles, and they rarely even bumped into each other.

Without any interaction, it's naturally much more difficult to build goodwill.

For a long time to come, the storyline involving Liu Yaoyao will probably have to be put on hold.

Fortunately, I still have Senior Sister Lin and Senior Sister Qin on hand.

Lin Ying's favorability is almost at the 100 mark. Once it reaches 100, the "Cultivate a Beauty" function will be unlocked, along with an extra favorability bonus.

There's also a reward waiting for Qin Nanyue at the 80-point mark.

These two are the ones he needs to focus on winning over right now.

After sorting out his thoughts, Lu Yang chose to claim the reward for increasing Liu Yaoyao's favorability.

The panel flashed with light.

[Host has successfully added Liu Yaoyao's contact information and received the following rewards: 10000 low-grade spirit stones and the luck attribute: Geng Metal Breath]

[Geng Metal Breath (Mid-Grade)]: With each breath, the aura carries wisps of sharp metal energy. Metal-based spells are increased by 30%, and there is a certain chance that the damage dealt by spells will be doubled.

Lu Yang's eyes widened, and his breath hitched slightly.

It's a mid-grade attribute!

The previous entry Qin Nanyue gave was of low quality—the swordsmanship apprentice skill was useful, but its effect was limited.

And this Geng Metal Breath is a genuine mid-grade attribute!

The power of the Golden Path spell is increased by 30%, and it also has a chance to double the damage. Isn't that just critical hit damage?

This improvement is on a completely different level!

Lu Yang vaguely realized a pattern: the higher the cultivation level of each of the beauties he added, the more generous the first reward he would receive.

Lin Ying and Qin Nanyue are both at the Qi Refining stage. Although their rewards differ, they are generally at the same level.

Liu Yaoyao, on the other hand, was at the Foundation Establishment stage, and she received a full 10,000 spirit stones, along with a mid-grade luck attribute, clearly a level higher than the previous two.

Perhaps it is also related to Lu Yang's own cultivation level?

After all, his cultivation level was a whole realm lower than Liu Yaoyao's.

With this Geng metal essence, his path of combining metal and sword techniques will be more secure.

Lu Yang slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, which condensed into a wisp of white mist in the cool night breeze, only to be torn apart by the wind in the forest in an instant.

He lifted his gaze from the panel and slowly swept it across the empty space around him, which was bathed in the silvery-gray light of the moon.

That concludes the tally of all the spoils from this auction.

Time passed, and the crescent moon climbed directly overhead, illuminating the entire open space as bright as day.

Occasionally, the low hooting of owls echoed from the distant valley, long and lonely.

Lu Yang turned his gaze to the front of him.

Wang Da and Wang San remained standing quietly in place, their posture unchanged from before.

Their breathing was so light it was almost non-existent, like two sculptures made of flesh and blood, awaiting their master's next command.

Lu Yang remained silent for a few moments before giving his orders: "You two, stay near the market from now on. Don't cause any trouble, just keep a low profile. Every time I leave the sect, you two will come and protect me."

"Yes!" the two replied in unison, without uttering a single superfluous word.

Looking at their blank yet resolute faces, Lu Yang suddenly thought of something.

He pondered for a moment, then continued, "Also, keep an eye on Li Yao for me. Notify me immediately once he leaves the Jinyang Mountains."

"yes!"

If Li Yao were merely arrogant and domineering, causing a ruckus within the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect, it would be fine; Lu Yang wouldn't bother with him.

But if he really dares to have any crooked thoughts, Lu Yang won't tolerate it.

He cannot make a move within the territory of the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect.

Even if Li Yao is a scoundrel, he is still a disciple of the sect. If he kills someone on the sect's territory, the Enforcement Hall will investigate him thoroughly.

Especially when a Golden Core cultivator kills a sect disciple, it causes quite a stir.

But once they leave the Jinyang Mountain Range, it's no longer the sect's business.

Of course, if Li Yao is sensible and behaves himself, Lu Yang won't bother him.

It all depends on whether he'll do something reckless.

The moonlight silently fell on the boy's calm face, clearly outlining the faint, cold smile at the corner of his mouth.
