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

After carefully recording the details, the outer sect steward said respectfully, "Senior brothers and sisters, please wait a moment. I need to personally go to the warehouse to retrieve the top-grade magic artifact for this transaction."

Qin Nanyue remained calm and nodded slightly: "Go."

The outer gatekeeper quickly bowed and turned to leave, soon disappearing into the depths of the corridor behind the Dharma Treasure Hall.

Not long after, a series of light footsteps approached from afar, and the deacon returned once more.

She lightly touched the storage bag at her waist with her fingertips, and a faint light flashed. Two magical treasures with restrained radiance appeared out of thin air on the counter.

One was a heavy sword, as black as ink, with a blade over two meters long. Its spine was thick, its blade sharp, and it exuded an extremely calm and oppressive aura. Just by lying there quietly, it seemed to compress the surrounding air and make it stagnate.

The other was a neatly folded robe, with sharp edges and not a single wrinkle.

At first glance, the style of the robes is almost identical to that of the outer disciples' attire, but upon closer inspection, differences can be found.

The spiritual patterns on the robe were intricate and interwoven, and the flowing patterns were much more exquisite and complex than those of ordinary outer disciples' clothing. Faint spiritual light could be seen slowly flowing through the patterns.

Lu Yang took a deep breath, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and solemnly put away the two magical treasures.

At the same time, the counter attendant had already swiftly deducted the contribution points from the sect token.

She held the token with both hands, bowed, and handed it back to Qin Nanyue: "Senior Sister, please keep your token safe. The two top-grade magic artifacts cost a total of 9,600 contribution points!"

Qin Nanyue casually took the token, her expression as relaxed as if she had only bought some inexpensive trinkets, showing no sign of distress whatsoever.

This scene, witnessed by the outer sect steward, made her heart tremble involuntarily.

This Senior Sister Qin... isn't she a bit too rich?

Two top-grade magical artifacts!

That's a full nine thousand six hundred contribution points!

Converted to low-grade spirit stones, that's nearly 100,000, a sum that an ordinary outer disciple might not be able to accumulate even after several years.

But this senior sister spent the money casually without even a ripple on her face. Anyone who didn't know better would think she had only bought a few ordinary magic artifacts of low to medium quality.

Thinking of this, she secretly glanced at Lu Yang standing next to her, and a wave of envy welled up in her heart.

This senior brother is indeed handsome and dashing, but his skin... is a bit too thick, isn't it?

Such a precious and top-grade magic artifact, he accepted it without a word of refusal.

This guy is so shameless in living off his girlfriend.

But then again... he really is very good-looking.

That face, no matter how you look at it, you can't take your eyes off it...

Lu Yang and Qin Nanyue were naturally unaware that this steward had already enacted a grand drama in his mind.

The two turned and walked out of the Dharma Treasure Hall side by side. The sunlight outside poured down, warming them.

Qin Nanyue turned her head to look at Lu Yang and casually asked, "You have four hundred contribution points left. What do you plan to exchange them for?"

After a moment's thought, Lu Yang said, "Let's go exchange for some pills."

Upon hearing this, Qin Nanyue's lips curled into a half-smile, her eyes filled with a hint of mockery: "Yingying is currently thinking about helping you refine pills. And you, on the other hand, turn around and buy top-grade pills refined by others. If Yingying finds out, she'll probably feel guilty for quite a while."

Upon hearing her words, Lu Yang immediately recalled Lin Ying's face at the auction when he bid for the top-grade Yellow Dragon Pill, a face filled with guilt yet trying her best to hide it.

Thinking of this, he felt a warmth in his heart, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously softened.

On another note... shouldn't I take more opportunities to spend time with Senior Sister Lin and raise her favorability rating to 100 as soon as possible?

He pondered the thought, but his expression remained impassive as he looked at Qin Nanyue and said with a smile, "Senior Sister Qin, just don't tell Senior Sister Lin. Let's keep it a little secret between the two of us."

Upon hearing this, Qin Nanyue's heart skipped a beat without warning, and she herself was not even aware of what was causing this sudden flutter.

"The...secret between us?"

Lu Yang's smile remained unchanged as he nodded matter-of-factly, "Yes, after all, Senior Sister Qin and Senior Sister Lin have such a good relationship, you wouldn't want to see Senior Sister Lin sad, would you?"

Qin Nanyue smiled brightly, a radiant and generous smile: "Alright then, I won't say anything. Let's go!"

The two then went to Danfeng and exchanged some pills in the Dan Hall on the side peak.

Perhaps due to the high demand for elixirs, even the highest grade Yellow Dragon Elixir was out of stock in the Pill Hall; only the highest grade Qi Nourishing Elixir was available for exchange.

A bottle of top-grade Qi-Nourishing Pill is priced at 150 contribution points, which is roughly equivalent to 1,500 low-grade spirit stones, significantly lower than the price of top-grade Yellow Dragon Pill.

Without hesitation, Lu Yang exchanged for two bottles.

Lu Yang had one hundred contribution points left in the token, which he originally wanted to give to Qin Nanyue as a reward for her hard work in accompanying him all day.

But Qin Nanyue refused to accept it no matter what, and was even a little angry. She frowned slightly as she looked at Lu Yang: "For such a trivial matter, you still want to give me contribution points? What do you take me for? Isn't our relationship worth a mere hundred contribution points?"

Having said that, Lu Yang had no choice but to give up.

To his amusement and exasperation, Qin Nanyue not only refused to accept any payment, but also used her own money to post the few dozen contribution points she had left in her token and bought Lu Yang an extra bottle of top-grade Qi-Nourishing Pills.

In this way, the three bottles of top-grade Qi-Nourishing Pills ended up in Lu Yang's hands.

Having done all this, the two dared not linger on Danfeng Peak and quickly left.

Although the peak where the Pill Hall is located is not the same peak where the disciples live, if they are unlucky enough to run into Lin Ying, Lin Ying will most likely feel guilty and remorseful.

In this matter, Lu Yang and Qin Nanyue had an unspoken understanding, and they were both quick to act.

Running around the sect, exchanging for magical treasures and elixirs, it was nearly noon by the time everything was settled.

Lu Yang glanced at the sky, then turned to Qin Nanyue and smiled, "Senior Sister Qin, it's noon. Let me treat you to lunch. It's just a friendly treat."

This time, Qin Nanyue did not refuse.

She smiled slightly and nodded generously, "Okay."

The two ordered five spiritual dishes in the sect's dining hall. The dishes were filled with a faint spiritual aura and were a feast for the eyes, nose, and palate.

The two of them ate heartily and were completely satisfied, even their eyebrows showing a hint of contentment.

After the meal, the two returned to their respective residences.

To Lu Yang's slight surprise, even though he hadn't given Qin Nanyue any magic treasures or pills today, and the two of them had only run around the sect, exchanged some items, and had a meal, Qin Nanyue's favorability towards him had quietly increased by two points.

Qin Nanyue (Favorability: 77)

Looking at the numbers on the system panel, Lu Yang was a little confused, but he couldn't help but smile.

Although he didn't understand the reason, it was naturally a great thing for him.

After all, he only needs to wait for Qin Nanyue's favorability to increase by three more points, reaching eighty points, and he will be able to receive another favorability reward.

…………

Time flies like an arrow, passing in the blink of an eye.

Before we knew it, another month had quietly passed.

Early that morning, Lu Yang slowly opened his eyes, exhaled a breath of stale air, and ended his all-night cultivation.

Morning light streamed through the paper windows into the room, casting dappled shadows on the wooden floor.

He got up briskly, first completing his daily tasks one by one, and then skillfully brought up the system panel, adding all fifty points of general experience to his spiritual root.

[Spiritual Root: Superior Grade (3250/10000)]

Seeing that the spiritual root experience bar had steadily progressed to nearly one-third of its mark, he couldn't help but smile, and a look of genuine joy appeared in his eyes.

almost.

In a while, his spiritual root will be able to advance from high grade to top grade!

For more than a month, Lu Yang has been completing his daily tasks without fail, and his basic attributes have been steadily increasing day by day.

In particular, his physical attribute has just broken through the ten-point mark, while his intelligence and charm are also approaching the ten-point threshold.

The changes brought about by the improvement of basic attributes are all-round. His physique has become more and more refined and strong, probably comparable to a body cultivator in the late stage or even the peak of Qi Refining.

His comprehension has become more insightful and acute, and his progress in the "Wind Control Technique" and "Golden Light Shield" that he redeemed a few days ago has been rapid!

Even her temperament has become more ethereal and otherworldly.

Only her appearance hasn't changed much.

In addition to his daily tasks, Lu Yang uses his spiritual power to refine those top-grade magical artifacts, the control array plate of the Flowing Light Flying Boat, and the storage ring every day.

After nurturing and refining them day after day, all the items were finally refined ten days ago.

From then on, Lu Yang began taking top-grade Yellow Dragon Pills to aid his cultivation.

It must be said that the effects of this top-grade Yellow Dragon Pill are truly exceptional. When combined with the spiritual energy contained in the spiritual food, the cultivation speed is several times faster than before.

Consuming one top-grade Yellow Dragon Pill every day, after just ten days, he clearly felt that his realm in the middle stage of Qi Refining had been completely stabilized, his foundation was solid, and he was steadily advancing towards the bottleneck of the late stage of Qi Refining.

With a flick of his wrist, he stored the "Wind Control Technique" spellbook in his storage ring, stood up, stretched comfortably, and his bones cracked all over.

Walking to the window, Lu Yang reached out and pushed it open. A fresh morning breeze eagerly rushed in, carrying the fragrance of grass and trees and the slightly sweet and earthy scent, which was refreshing and invigorating.

Lu Yang took a deep breath and looked up. He saw an inner disciple standing on a flying sword, his clothes fluttering, like a streak of light cutting through the morning sky and disappearing into the clouds in an instant.

A look of anticipation and joy immediately appeared in his eyes.

With the year-end approaching, he plans to leave the sect today and return to the Lu family for the New Year!

Compared to when he left the family last time, Lu Yang is now a completely different person.

He officially became an outer disciple of the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect, possessing three top-grade magic artifacts and a storage space containing nearly a million spirit stones.

Wealth and honor not returned home are like wearing fine clothes at night.

He naturally wanted to go back in style and take good care of his family.
