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

Outer gate square.

A morning breeze carrying the scent of pine wood drifted through the mountains and forests, sweeping across the entire square.

The bluestone slabs still bore traces of last night's dampness, the watermarks, some deep and some shallow, gleaming faintly in the morning light.

Not long after dawn, outer disciples were already coming and going in the square.

Some people were practicing magic in the sword-testing stone area on the outskirts of the square, the sword light flickering uncertainly in the morning mist.

Some people hurriedly slipped into the stone paths leading to the various peaks along the edge of the square, their clothes flashing as they disappeared around the bends.

There were also small groups of disciples gathered in the center of the square, whispering and talking, their voices diluted by the morning breeze.

Occasionally, inner disciples flying on swords would glide across the sky.

The flying sword trailed trails of varying lengths of light, its hem fluttering in the wind high above. In a few breaths, it swept from one end to the other, crossing the mountain ridges and disappearing into the clouds.

Lu Yang stood at the edge of one side of the square, his gaze falling on a few wildflowers swaying gently in the morning breeze not far away.

The wildflowers were light purple, I don't know their name, they bloomed delicately and stubbornly, squeezing out from the cracks in the bluestone slabs, with dewdrops still hanging on their petals from last night.

The disciples who passed by him almost instinctively glanced at him.

The female cultivators' gazes fell on his handsome profile, and their steps unconsciously slowed down; the male cultivators quickened their pace and hurried away, their hearts filled with bitterness.

The moment Qin Nanyue stepped into the square, she locked onto his location almost immediately.

There was no way around it; standing in the crowd, Lu Yang seemed to be completely out of place with everyone else.

The morning light shone on his profile, outlining a smooth ridge from his forehead to his chin.

A high, straight nose, slightly pursed thin lips, and deep eyes gazing intently at wildflowers…

Qin Nanyue's eyes flickered, and her heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason.

How come this kid is getting better and better looking?

She lowered her head, took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the inexplicable turmoil in her heart, and then strode over quickly.

Upon approaching, she flashed a bright smile and waved, "Lu Yang!"

Lu Yang turned around at the sound, his gaze shifting from the wildflowers to her.

He then revealed a clean and gentle smile, which unfolded in the morning light, causing Qin Nanyue's heart to skip a beat again, completely unaware of what was happening.

"Senior Sister Qin, you've arrived!"

Qin Nanyue coughed lightly, trying to make her voice sound as usual: "Yes, have you been waiting long?"

"No, I just arrived too."

His voice was neither too loud nor too soft, his tone neither hurried nor slow, and his warm, dark eyes were fixed on Qin Nanyue, unwavering and focused.

Qin Nanyue suddenly realized that maintaining a calm expression under this gaze was much more difficult than she had imagined.

Her lips were a little stiff, her ears were a little hot, and for a moment she didn't know where to put her hands.

She slightly shifted her gaze, then waved her hand decisively: "Let's go, straight to the administration office."

"it is good."

Qin Nanyue turned around and walked forward first, taking quick and large steps, as if she were fleeing from something.

Lu Yang followed at a leisurely pace, keeping a distance of about two steps from her.

The two climbed the mountain path step by step.

The mountain road is lined with ancient pines of unknown age, their needles rustling softly in the morning breeze. The air is filled with the fragrance of pine resin and the damp scent of dew-soaked soil.

An early-rising magpie fluttered up from the branch, shaking off a few drops of last night's dew.

After a moment of silence, Qin Nanyue finally digested the inexplicable unease she had just felt.

She turned her head and casually asked, "Lu Yang, how many contribution points are you planning to exchange for?"

Lu Yang thought for a moment: "The specifics are still uncertain, let's exchange 300,000 first."

He's currently only 200,000 more in spending to level up to the next level, so he'll use 300,000 to get to the next level first, and then see how much he needs for the next level.

If you can directly upgrade to the next level, then continue exchanging; otherwise, wait for the next time.

His original plan was to convert all the millions of spirit stones into contribution points, but after obtaining the mercenary contract yesterday, he changed his mind.

Three million can hire a puppet at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage for one day.

It's best to save these spirit stones for now, just in case.

Qin Nanyue suddenly stopped in her tracks.

She froze, turning to look at Lu Yang, her eyes filled with astonishment: "...How much?"

"Three hundred thousand, what's wrong?" Lu Yang also stopped, his tone carrying a hint of amusement.

Qin Nanyue's eye twitched violently, and a series of question marks slowly surfaced in her mind.

Not... 300,000?

And judging from his nonchalant manner, 300,000 low-grade spirit stones doesn't seem like much to him?

Just how much money does this kid have?!

Qin Nanyue was, after all, a direct descendant of the Qin family and one of the top ten outer disciples, so she was already considered quite wealthy among her fellow disciples.

Even for her, it's impossible to come up with 300,000 low-grade spirit stones!

Qin Nanyue's chest heaved slightly.

Her figure was already curvaceous, and her chest was broad and imposing; this undulating curve was quite noticeable.

Lu Yang's gaze involuntarily followed the undulations and tilted slightly, but less than a breath later he quickly withdrew his gaze and looked straight ahead at the mountain road.

After all, it would be too embarrassing to be discovered.

Qin Nanyue seemed not to notice Lu Yang's gaze.

Recovering from her shock, she asked again, "...Are you sure? Three hundred thousand??"

Lu Yang nodded: "Yeah, anyway, isn't the exchange rate 30 to 1? It'll round it up."

Qin Nanyue: "..."

So you exchanged 300,000 because you wanted to round it up?

No... Lu Yang's concept of rounding up seems to be different from hers?

Qin Nanyue mentally ranted, but ultimately said nothing more.

They're rich, what can she do to stop them?

She took a deep breath and steered the conversation back on track: "Since I'm the one exchanging them, the spirit stones will be transferred to my sect token. Is that alright?"

Lu Yang smiled and said, "Of course, no problem. I trust Senior Sister Qin."

Qin Nanyue muttered to herself, "I don't even have as much faith in myself as you do. Three hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones would make most Foundation Establishment cultivators green with envy and fight to the death, but you... just give it away like that, without even blinking an eye."

She paused for a moment, then asked, "What do you plan to exchange for?"

Lu Yang thought for a moment and had a general idea in mind: "Top-grade magic artifacts and top-grade pills."

Qin Nanyue nodded: "Okay, let's go take a look together later. Anyway, you decide what to exchange for; I'm just running errands for you."

The two walked and talked, and before long, the building of the administrative hall appeared at the corner of the mountain path.

This building is a size larger than the one Lu Yang visited when he registered last time. It has three floors and is made entirely of dark blue stone, with pale gold patterns inlaid on the window frames.

The last time Lu Yang came to the Affairs Hall, he only registered to enter the outer gate. The exchange area for contribution points was in another building, so this was his first time here.

The two pushed open the half-closed copper-plated wooden door and entered the hall.

The interior of the hall was much more spacious than it appeared from the outside. A huge nine-tiered spirit lamp hung from the dome, emitting a soft and even white light that illuminated the entire hall as if it were daytime.

Dozens of counter windows are embedded in the four walls, and there are more or less people queuing in front of each window.

In the center of the hall, there were several rows of stone benches for waiting, with a few disciples sitting sparsely, engrossed in reading jade slips.

Besides exchanging spirit stones for contribution points, you can also exchange contribution points for spirit stones here.

The two services are handled at different windows in the same hall, so the crowds are mixed together, making it look quite lively.

The two waited in line for a while before a window near the corner finally became available.

Behind the counter sat an outer gatekeeper, a young man who looked to be in his early twenties.

He initially wore a professional smile, but his expression immediately changed after examining the sect token Qin Nanyue handed him.

His back straightened subconsciously, and the smile on his face switched from professional to genuine respect.

"Senior Sister Qin!" He bowed slightly, his tone warm, "Are you planning to exchange for spirit stones or contribution points?"

Qin Nanyue remained calm, displaying an air of composure as if she were used to such scenes: "Exchange for contribution points."

The outer gatekeeper's smile widened, and he eagerly inquired, "How much would you like to exchange?"

Qin Nanyue didn't reply, but turned to look at Lu Yang.

Lu Yang said casually, "Three hundred thousand spirit stones."

A moment of silence fell both inside and outside the window.

The outer sect steward's expression froze on the spot.

A few breaths later, he came to his senses, swallowed hard, his Adam's apple bobbing, and cautiously confirmed, "...three or three hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones?"

Qin Nanyue nodded calmly: "That's right."

"Okay...okay! Please hand over the spirit stones..." The outer sect steward's voice trembled involuntarily as he quickly tapped the control array below the counter.

A faint hum came from the hidden compartment beneath the counter, and a hidden opening about the size of a washbasin slowly opened, revealing a faintly glowing identification array inside.

Qin Nanyue tilted her head and gestured with her chin toward the hidden opening: "Just pour the spirit stones in."

Lu Yang nodded, reached into the opening of the storage bag at his waist, and with a thought, the spirit stones inside poured out like a flood.

The crisp sounds of the spirit stones colliding blended into a dense clattering noise, and the appraisal array inside the hidden entrance operated, its spiritual light flickering erratically.

The sound lasted for too long.

So long that the monks queuing and waiting around turned their heads one after another.

They saw countless low-grade spirit stones pouring down from the opening of the storage bag, like an inverted waterfall, the spiritual light illuminating the entire corner area.

The hall gradually quieted down, leaving only the gurgling sound of the spirit stone waterfall echoing between the walls.

It's not uncommon for outer disciples to exchange for contribution points.

After all, there are many scions of aristocratic families in the sect. Some disciples will occasionally use spirit stones to exchange for the sect's unique techniques and secret arts, or to exchange for rare resources that are limited to contribution points.

But they had never seen this kind of pouring before.

How many of these streams must be flowing continuously without stopping?

One hundred thousand?

150,000?

Two hundred thousand?

The same question was racing through everyone's minds.

How much of this stuff actually dumped?!

Lu Yang's attention was not on the shocked gazes around him.

His divine sense had already extended outside his body, accurately measuring the number of spirit stones.

His hand movements only stopped abruptly after he poured out 300,000 spirit stones.

That's enough.

He flipped his wrist and put away the storage bag.

The operation of the identification array gradually subsided, the hidden opening slowly closed, leaving the surface of the counter slightly warm.

Qin Nanyue keenly detected the subtle fluctuations when Lu Yang released his divine sense. Her eyes widened slightly, and her tone carried a hint of surprise: "You've already used the Azure Jade Liquid? Your divine sense has awakened?"

Lu Yang nodded, a slight smile appearing on his lips: "Yes, I used it last night."

Qin Nanyue's eyes immediately filled with envy. She clicked her tongue and said, half sighing and half sourly, "Tsk... It's so good to be rich. I also want to awaken my divine sense ahead of time."

Even though she was already at the peak of the Qi Refining stage, she still couldn't awaken her divine consciousness ahead of time.

Such rare and precious materials that can help cultivators awaken their divine sense ahead of time are extremely rare. Even for a direct descendant of the Qin family, it's not something she can just come across whenever she wants.

Even if you're lucky enough to stumble upon it, like finding the Azure Jade Liquid at an auction, you still need to have the money to buy it.

While the two were talking quietly at the counter, the outer sect steward had already hurriedly completed the procedures for exchanging spirit stones.

He handed Qin Nanyue's sect token back with both hands, his attitude even more respectful than before, not daring to even lift his eyelids: "Senior brother, senior sister, it's been exchanged. A total of 10,000 contribution points, please take a look."

After he finished speaking, he secretly glanced at Lu Yang out of the corner of his eye, his eyes filled with a newfound respect.

He's been sitting at this counter for over twenty years; what kind of people hasn't he seen?

But he had never seen an outer disciple who could take out 300,000 low-grade spirit stones to exchange for contribution points at once.

This senior brother must have an incredibly powerful background.

Lu Yang didn't pay any attention to the steward's gaze.

His attention was focused on the system panel in front of him.

Sure enough, the section on the "confidence of the super-rich" has already lit up with a notification that it can be upgraded.

A slight smile played at the corners of his lips.

With a thought, the tycoon's confidence was boosted once again!
