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

After leaving the cultivation room, Lu Yang went to the canteen and ordered three spiritual dishes for a simple breakfast.

Of course, it's simple for Lu Yang, but too extravagant for other outer disciples.

During this period, Lu Yang had gained some fame in the area surrounding Xuanjin Peak.

With a constant supply of spiritual food and an outstanding appearance that makes her unforgettable, it's hard for her to stay low-key.

There are all sorts of speculations circulating among the outer disciples about his identity.

Some say he is the offspring of a reclusive master, others say he is the successor of a powerful force outside the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect's territory, and still others confidently assert that he comes from a reclusive family outside Qin Prefecture and that his visit to the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect is merely a training exercise arranged by his family.

In short, the more it was spread, the more outrageous it became.

Lu Yang knew these things because his senior brother Zhao Qingshan told him.

The old disciple, who had been in the sect for almost twenty years, was quite enthusiastic towards him. Their small buildings were close to each other, and they often bumped into each other and went to the canteen together for meals.

Although Zhao Qingshan's cultivation level was only at the late stage of Qi Refining, he had been in the sect for a long time, had many friends, and was well-informed.

From him, Lu Yang heard many interesting stories and secrets about the sect that even Qin Nanyue and Lin Ying had never mentioned.

As Lu Yang ate, he took out his sect token, and Qin Nanyue and Lin Ying both sent him telepathic messages.

Lin Ying's voice was soft and gentle, as always: "Junior brother, are you leaving the sect today? Be careful on your journey."

Lu Yang smiled slightly and replied telepathically, "Senior Sister Lin, do you really not need me to take you back?"

Although he and Lin Ying rarely met these days, they kept in touch via telepathy.

As they talked more, he learned a lot about Sister Lin's situation.

Like him, Senior Sister Lin also came from a small family of cultivators.

However, her situation was better than his; her family's ancestor was a cultivator in the early stage of Foundation Establishment.

The Lin family lived in the Yuan Kingdom, which was some distance from the Yue Kingdom, both being small countries.

Because of the presence of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, the Lin family still holds some sway within the cultivator circles of the Yuan Kingdom.

Lin Ying showed remarkable talent in alchemy from a young age, and the Lin family patriarch immediately decided to support her in learning alchemy with the full support of the family.

It was with this support that she was able to enter the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect's Pill Peak and become an alchemist.

Lin Ying always felt grateful to her family and would save up some pills every year to take back to the family during the New Year.

That's why, as an alchemist, she didn't live a particularly comfortable life.

Lu Yang wanted to get closer to Lin Ying and increase her favorability faster, so he naturally hoped to make an appearance at the Lin family's home.

He had asked Lin Ying before if she wanted to come back with him.

Lin Ying's reply was as always: "No need, thank you, junior brother. Yuan Kingdom and Yue Kingdom are still quite far apart, it would be too much trouble for you."

The reason is the same, which Lu Yang had anticipated.

Lin Ying has a strong sense of self-respect and doesn't like to bother him with everything.

Since she refused again, Lu Yang respected her decision: "Alright then. Be careful on your way back. I'll come visit you after the New Year if I have time."

After the message was sent, Lin Ying remained silent for a while.

Then, her soft, sweet voice returned, trembling slightly at the end: "Okay...okay. Will Junior Brother Lu come to the Lin family then?"

Lu Yang's lips curled into a slight smile as he deliberately asked, "Senior Sister Lin, would you like me to go?"

Lin Ying fell silent immediately.

Lu Yang could almost picture her face flushed red, speechless.

He smiled and stopped teasing her: "If I have the chance, I'd like to go and see it."

Lin Ying's voice quickly returned, as light as a breeze: "Okay, okay. I'll tell my family later."

Lu Yang accepted the message and then opened Qin Nanyue's message.

Qin Nanyue's cheerful voice rang out: "Junior Brother Lu, I'm about to set off. See you at the outer gate square later!"

Qin Nanyue also goes home for the Spring Festival every year, and this year she is setting off today.

She mentioned a few days ago when the two were chatting that the Qin family members always went back together.

Besides Qin Nanyue, several other members of the Qin family from the sect also accompanied her this time.

Qin Nanyue offered to give Lu Yang a ride, but Lu Yang, now possessing the Flowing Light Flying Boat, naturally declined.

However, the two still agreed to leave the sect together, and Qin Nanyue also said that she would introduce the Qin family disciples to Lu Yang.

Lu Yang was indeed quite curious about the Qin family members.

After all, they are a family of Golden Core cultivators. I've heard that they have both inner disciples and personal disciples in the sect, so their strength is not weak.

Getting to know him and making friends would certainly not be bad for Lu Yang.

He transmitted his voice, "Okay, I'll be right there."

Qin Nanyue's reply came almost immediately: "Okay. Yingying will be there too; she said she'll see us off."

Lu Yang was somewhat surprised: "Senior Sister Lin didn't tell me either."

Qin Nanyue's tone was slightly mischievous: "Hehehe, that girl wants to give you a surprise."

Lu Yang sighed helplessly, "...Then why did you tell me in advance?"

"Just pretend I didn't say anything. Anyway, it's a surprise for you, not for me," Qin Nanyue said casually.

Lu Yang's eye twitched: "Are you jealous that Senior Sister Lin is so good to me?"

During their conversations, Qin Nanyue complained quite a bit.

She said that Lin Ying now spends more time communicating with Lu Yang telepathically than with her best friend.

The two girls used to talk about everything, but now Lin Ying's heart is entirely focused on Lu Yang.

According to Qin Nanyue, she even suspected that Lu Yang had cast some kind of spell on Lin Ying.

On the outer gate plaza, Qin Nanyue stood under an old pine tree at the edge of the plaza, holding the sect token in her hand, a slight smile on her lips.

She transmitted her voice, her tone half-serious and half-joking: "That's right! It's all your fault for stealing Yingying away!"

There was a moment of silence on Lu Yang's end, then a new voice transmission popped up: "Why don't you join us? That way you and Yingying will be best friends again. Hehe."

Qin Nanyue was taken aback.

She didn't react at first, paused for about two breaths, and then realized what was going on.

A slight blush rose to her pretty face, and her ears warmed up.

She was both ashamed and angry, her hand gripping the token tightening unconsciously: "Lu Yang! I'm going to tell Yingying! How dare you openly tell me that you want both of us sisters to serve you? I'm really going to beat you up!"

Just as the telepathic communication ended, Lin Ying's somewhat confused voice suddenly came from beside her: "Nan Yue, what's wrong?"

Qin Nanyue trembled slightly.

She quickly put away the token, a nonchalant smile on her face, and put her arm around Lin Ying's shoulder: "It's nothing, I just wanted to urge that kid Lu Yang to come over quickly."

Lin Ying glanced at her with her gentle eyes, her gaze flickering slightly, and then nodded lightly: "Oh, okay then."

Qin Nanyue dared not touch the token again, and chatted casually with Lin Ying.

After a while, Lu Yang walked over from a distance.

Today he wore the newly exchanged top-grade robe, which was the same style as the robes worn by the outer disciples of the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect, but on him, it had a more otherworldly air about it.

He walked up to the two of them, and when his gaze fell on Lin Ying, a perfectly timed hint of surprise appeared on his face, as if he had no idea she would come: "Senior Sister Lin, you're here too?"

Lin Ying smiled slightly, her smile appearing especially gentle in the morning light: "Yes, I've come to see you and Nan Yue off."

Qin Nanyue stood to the side with her arms crossed, pursed her lips and muttered, "...Why am I in the back? Yingying, you've changed. You used to talk about me first, but now I'm not even as good as that bastard Lu Yang."

Lin Ying's pretty face flushed red instantly, and she waved her hands repeatedly, "No, no..."

Lu Yang glared at Qin Nanyue, annoyed. "Senior Sister Qin, stop bullying Senior Sister Lin."

Upon hearing this, Qin Nanyue felt a strange, inexplicable pang of sadness welling up inside her.

But she quickly suppressed her emotions, and instead reached out and gently patted Lin Ying's shoulder, saying with a half-smile, "Looks like that bastard still cares about you, Yingying."

Lin Ying: "..."

She lowered her head, her fingers unconsciously twisting the hem of her clothes, unsure of what to say, her ears burning red as if they were about to bleed.

Lu Yang smiled gently as he watched this scene.

He stepped forward and naturally took Lin Ying's hand: "Let's go."

Lin Ying's fingers trembled slightly in his palm, then slowly softened, without pulling away.

Qin Nanyue glanced at their clasped hands, her eyes flashing.

Then she smiled and walked around to the other side, taking Lin Ying's other hand.

"My older brothers and sisters are waiting at the market. Let's go there first."

"it is good."

The three of them walked side by side toward the outer square.

A morning breeze drifted through the mountains, causing the three people's clothes to flutter slightly.

The pine trees on both sides rustled softly in the wind, and sunlight filtered through the pine needles, casting large patches of bright light on the ground.

Lin Ying, who was sandwiched between Lu Yang and Qin Nanyue, suddenly felt that the morning breeze seemed warmer than usual.
