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

Fangshi, Jin Hong Restaurant.

In a private room by the window on the second floor, five young men and women sat around a round table, drinking spirit tea and chatting casually.

The sunlight streaming in through the window cut a bright square patch of light onto the table, and the steam rising from the cup swirled slowly within the beam of light.

All five of them share the surname Qin.

The person sitting at the head of the table was a young man who looked to be in his twenties, with a square face and a calm and dignified air about him.

He wore a light gold robe, the standard attire for direct disciples of the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect. The embroidery on the cuffs and collar was much more intricate than that of the inner disciples, and it faintly shimmered with a dark golden aura.

This person's name is Qin Huan.

Two men were sitting to Qin Huan's left.

One of them was named Qin Yun, an inner disciple. He was handsome and elegant, with slightly upturned lips and a carefree and unrestrained air about him. At this moment, he was leaning lazily against the back of his chair, holding a teacup crookedly in his hand, as if it was about to slip off at any moment.

The other was a quiet and reserved young man named Qin Ming, dressed in the robes of an outer disciple. He didn't say much from beginning to end, just listened quietly.

Two beautiful female cultivators were sitting on the right.

One of them had short hair, striking and bright eyes, and looked to be about the same age as Qin Huan. Her name was Qin Xiaohe, and like Qin Yun, she was an inner disciple.

The other one, with a baby face and crescent-shaped eyes when she smiles, is named Qin Lan, and is also an inner disciple.

Qin Lan took a sip of tea, then suddenly remembered something and looked up to ask, "Is Nan Yue almost here? Third Uncle, has she not sent you a message yet?"

Qin Huan smiled and put down her teacup: "I already sent a message. She's waiting for a friend in the sect square, and she should be coming this way now."

Upon hearing the words "Qin Nanyue's friend," everyone present looked up.

"I heard his surname is Lu?" Qin Yun leaned back lazily in his chair, tapping his fingers idly on the armrest, and chuckled, "Nan Yue said this friend of his is very good to her and also very rich, so his background is probably not simple."

"We're both outer disciples," Qin Xiaohe turned to Qin Ming, who had been silent, "Ah Ming, do you know him?"

Qin Ming shook his head and quietly uttered three words: "Don't know him."

Qin Xiaohe looked at him with a hint of exasperation: "You, as the younger brother, why don't you pay attention? Nan Yue rarely makes friends with a male cultivator, you should at least find out about his background first."

Just then, Qin Huan tapped the table lightly with her fingers, making two soft taps that silenced everyone.

"Nan Yue won't allow the family to investigate that Lu Yang," he said, his gaze slowly sweeping over the group before finally settling on Qin Yun's face. "When you're with him later, don't be too direct."

Qin Yun felt uncomfortable under that gaze and said innocently, "No, Third Uncle, why are you staring at me?"

Qin Xiaohe chuckled and chimed in, "Because you're the most unreliable one among us. I bet the first one to rush up and interrogate them about their ancestors will be you when we meet again."

Qin Yun felt a bit embarrassed, as if someone had hit the nail on the head, but he wasn't easily embarrassed and didn't show it on his face. Instead, he rolled his eyes in annoyance: "That's prejudice! I never had that thought at all. I still respect Nan Yue's wishes, okay!"

The crowd remained noncommittal.

At this moment, Qin Huan took out his sect token, looked at it, then stood up with a smile on his lips: "They've arrived at the market. Let's go."

All five people's eyes lit up at the same time.

Qin Yun stood up abruptly and chuckled, "Let's go, let's go see what that boy Nan Yue was talking about looks like."

Qin Lan's eyes flickered, a hint of curiosity in them: "Nan Yue said that the young man is very handsome."

"Then we should definitely take a look." Qin Xiaohe took Qin Lan's hand and quickly followed.

The group of five left the private room, paid the bill at the counter downstairs, and walked out of the restaurant.

As the year draws to a close, the market is filled with festive colors.

Red silk ribbons were hung above the doors of shops on both sides of the street, and some shops also had handwritten couplets posted at their entrances, with the characters either vigorous or delicate.

The main bluestone road was bustling with people, more than twice as lively as usual. The sounds of talking, laughter, and bargaining mingled together, echoing back and forth in the alleys.

The five people walked through the crowd towards the entrance of the market.

As they approached the intersection of Fangshi Road, they discovered that there were more cultivators in this area than in other places.

Many people, even though they haven't done anything, just stand by the roadside, but their eyes keep drifting in the same direction.

The female cultivators, in particular, had somewhat blank stares and dazed expressions.

The Qin family members looked somewhat confused.

What's going on?

They turned their heads to look in the direction everyone was looking.

At the entrance to the market, three people stood quietly on the cobblestone-paved open space: two young girls and one young boy.

Both girls were strikingly beautiful; one was spirited and dashing, the other gentle and graceful. They should have stood out from the crowd.

However, everyone's eyes involuntarily fell on the boy next to them.

The boy stood tall and straight like a pine tree, his features so handsome they seemed otherworldly, and his skin shone with a faint jade-like luster in the sunlight, without a single flaw.

A gentle and clean smile graced his face, neither too strong nor too weak, just right.

He hadn't done anything; he was just standing there quietly, yet it was as if he was the only one in color around him, and everything else had become the background.

Qin Huan's breath hitched slightly.

Qin Yun opened his mouth, and the folding fan he had been playing with just moments before fell to the ground with a clatter, without him even noticing.

His eyes widened, his voice filled with undisguised shock: "My God... that's the Lu Yang Nan Yue was talking about? What's with his appearance?!"

Even the usually taciturn Qin Ming was somewhat taken aback.

He never expected that there would be such a person among the outer disciples.

Without needing to speak or demonstrate his cultivation, simply standing there was enough to make people instinctively feel that this person was anything but simple.

Qin Xiaohe and Qin Lan, the two female cultivators, were a full beat slower than the others in coming to their senses.

Qin Lan quietly clutched her chest and found that her heart was beating much faster than usual.

Qin Xiaohe looked away uncomfortably and took several deep breaths to steady herself.

However, after the initial amazement, Qin Huan's expression gradually turned serious.

His eyes flickered as he stared intently at Lu Yang in the distance, his tone tinged with doubt and uncertainty: "This... this Junior Nephew Lu seems to possess a sense of oneness with heaven and earth. Could it be that he has already begun to comprehend the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth?"

As soon as he said that, the other four people were struck dumb and turned to look at Qin Huan.

"How is this possible?!" Qin Yun's voice changed. "Isn't it only possible to gain a preliminary understanding of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth at the Golden Core stage?"

According to common knowledge in the cultivation world, the cultivation of the Qi Refining stage and the Foundation Establishment stage does not involve the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth at all.

Refining and polishing spiritual energy, and building a foundation are all stages of laying the groundwork.

Comprehension of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth is something that comes after the Golden Core stage.

Nan Yue clearly stated that Lu Yang had only recently entered the outer sect and his cultivation level was only at the mid-stage of Qi Refining.

Qin Huan frowned slightly, stared at Lu Yang for a moment, and finally shook her head, her expression relaxing: "Perhaps I'm overthinking it. Maybe this Junior Nephew Lu's temperament is too extraordinary, causing me to have a misconception."

Qin Xiaohe breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "I think it's just a matter of temperament."

The others nodded in agreement.

After all, the idea of ​​comprehending the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth during the Qi Refining stage is too far-fetched.

"Let's go, let's go over there." Qin Huan composed herself and took the lead.

Qin Nanyue was chatting with Lu Yang and Lin Ying at the entrance of the market when she caught sight of five people walking towards her out of the corner of her eye.

A smile immediately bloomed on her face, and she raised her arm and waved briskly: "Third Uncle! Brother Yun! Sister Xiaohe! Sister Xiaolan! A-Ming!"

Lu Yang and Lin Ying also looked up when they heard the sound.

A gentle smile appeared on Lin Ying's face as she waved lightly to the people who were coming.

She had known Qin Nanyue for several years, and naturally knew all the members of the Qin family.

This was the first time Lu Yang had ever seen it.

His gaze swept over the five men one by one; all five were quite extraordinary in both demeanor and bearing.

That confidence comes from a strong family background and exceptional talent.

Qin Huan and his group of five approached and greeted Lin Ying with smiles. Lin Ying responded gently, and Qin Huan then turned his gaze to Lu Yang beside him.

"You must be Lu Yang?" His smile was gentle and natural, and his voice was neither hurried nor slow. "I am Nan Yue's third uncle, Qin Huan. She has mentioned you before."

Lu Yang bowed respectfully, his tone casual and frank: "Third Uncle."

Qin Huan and the other four were all taken aback.

Qin Nanyue's heart skipped a beat, and her face flushed slightly.

What's wrong with this guy?!

Why do you call me "Third Uncle" the moment we meet?

Anyone who didn't know better would think they were already in a relationship.

However, she took a deep breath, quickly suppressing her shyness, and explained with a smile, "Lu Yang and I are good friends. My family is family to him too."

Qin Huan and the others exchanged glances, conveying a somewhat subtle meaning.

However, Qin Huan quickly regained her gentle and warm smile, and followed up Qin Nanyue's words, saying, "Then I'll shamelessly agree. I'll call you A-Yang from now on, how about that?"

Lu Yang smiled nonchalantly: "No problem."
