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

Only after Lu Yang put the thick stack of talismans into his storage bag did the old handyman come to his senses.

He bent over, his face crinkling into a wide smile, his enthusiasm almost overflowing: "Senior brother, is there anything else you need?"

Lu Yang shook his head and smiled, "No need. I'll come again if needed."

He just spent over a thousand low-grade spirit stones in one go, and now he only has a little over two hundred left.

He planned to keep these spirit stones for his meals.

Of all things under heaven, eating is the most important.

The taste of spiritual food is so delicious that just thinking about it makes one's mouth water.

Moreover, the medicinal properties of spiritual food are mild and long-lasting, and do not conflict with the effects of elixirs, so the two can be used simultaneously.

With spiritual food and Qi-nourishing pills every day, won't your cultivation level rise rapidly?

The old handyman wasn't disappointed when he heard this; the commission from this one order was more than he'd earned from working hard for a long time.

He bowed repeatedly, beaming, "Alright, alright! If you ever come again, senior brother, just come find me. My name is Li San!"

Lu Yang nodded slightly, and under the numb yet complex gazes of several people in the shop, he turned and walked out of the talisman shop.

Once everyone else left, the stagnant air in the shop began to flow again.

The two outer disciples were the first to break the silence, whispering among themselves.

"Just who is this junior brother?"

"I've never seen this before; they must be a newly initiated disciple. Spending thousands of spirit stones at once to buy a first-tier talisman—I don't believe they're not backed by a powerful Golden Core clan."

The Golden Rainbow Sword Sect is a top-tier force in Qinzhou with a Nascent Soul Ancestor presiding over it. Although it cannot compare to those immortal sects and holy lands, it is still enough to be proud of its own territory.

Although the Golden Core families are powerful, they have never lacked the ability to send their direct descendants to the sect for further study.

In their eyes, Lu Yang's fighting style clearly indicated that he was a privileged young man with a distinguished background.

The two exchanged a glance, and the same thought popped into their minds at the same time—they must go back and inquire about it.

Such a person is destined to become a prominent figure in the sect. It would only benefit them to build a relationship while the person is still in the assessment period!

Meanwhile, in the corner, the two handyman disciples, a man and a woman, who hadn't gone to greet Lu Yang earlier, were now filled with regret as they watched Li San grin from ear to ear.

The talisman shop takes a 1% cut.

That one order just now, if it had gone through their hands, would have been worth more than ten low-grade spirit stones!

It's worth two months' worth of hard-earned profits!

As a result, they didn't even lift their butts because they saw that the other person was wearing the robes of an introductory disciple.

The two of them wished they could slap themselves twice on the spot.

Lu Yang walked out of the talisman shop, stood on the street for a moment and thought about it, then decided not to continue shopping.

I've bought everything I needed; the most important thing now is to go back and cultivate.

With time running out and the task at hand, breaking through to the mid-stage of Qi Refining is the top priority.

He walked back along the way he came, and when he passed the spot where Lin Ying had previously set up her stall, he found that it was now empty.

Are you closing up shop?

I guess they've sold out of pills and went back to cultivate.

Lu Yang suddenly remembered something.

He had quite a few talismans, so his combat strength wasn't a problem, but he was still missing one thing—an antidote pill.

For those who cultivate, it is easy to dodge open attacks but difficult to guard against hidden arrows. If someone were to poison them, relying solely on talismans would not be effective.

Thinking of this, he took out his sect token as he hurried on his way.

The token for new disciples is a pure white color, with the sword pattern of the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect engraved on the front, and a faint spiritual light flowing between the patterns.

Lu Yang channeled a wisp of spiritual energy and transmitted his voice: "Senior Sister Lin, do you have any antidote pills?"

Not long after the message was sent, Lin Ying's reply came through: "Yes, Junior Brother Lu. I have three kinds here: Qingxin Pill, Jiedu Pill, and Baicao Pill... Baicao Pill is the most effective; it can neutralize toxins below the peak of Qi Refining. Which one do you want, Junior Brother?"

Lu Yang replied crisply, "The Hundred Herbs Pill, what's the price?"

"The Hundred Herbs Pill is worth eighty low-grade spirit stones on the market. If you want it, Junior Brother Lu, I'll give you seventy-five."

"Then give me two."

For Lu Yang, who rarely goes out, two Hundred Herbs Pills are more than enough.

"No problem. I've already returned to the sect. Which introductory disciple's residence are you in, junior brother? I'll come find you to make the trade."

"It will be more than an hour before I get back. I'm in the residence of the fourth initiation disciple."

The Golden Rainbow Sword Sect has five residences for its new disciples, located on five different peaks.

Every year when the mountain opens for the acceptance of disciples, the newly initiated disciples will live in different residential areas in turn.

"Okay, I'll be there to wait for you in a bit."

Lu Yang put away the sect token and looked back at the control panel.

With those 1,020 spirit stones spent, the "confidence of a super-rich person" has indeed been upgraded again.

Without saying a word, a thought struck him.

upgrade.

[The Confidence of a Tycoon (Level 3): Gain 4 low-grade spirit stones every hour (Money is the foundation of becoming a tycoon; upgrade by spending 2000 low-grade spirit stones)]

Lu Yang took a deep breath, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up.

It's doubled again!

Four low-grade spirit stones per hour, forty-eight stones per day (twelve hours).

One month? A full 1,440!

Over the course of a year, that amounts to more than 17,000 low-grade spirit stones!

With that number, let alone top-grade magic artifacts, it's not impossible to even try your luck at an auction and acquire some inferior top-grade magic artifacts.

Of course, the threshold for the next upgrade has also increased to two thousand low-grade spirit stones.

At the current rate of income, it would take more than a month to save up.

However, Lu Yang was not in a hurry at all.

With his current fixed income of over a thousand spirit stones a month, he simply can't spend it all.

I've been eating and throwing away every single Qi-Nourishing Pill I take.

…………

dusk.

The sunset glow surged and burned at the edge of the sea of ​​clouds, its brilliant golden-red hues intertwining with the golden aura permeating the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect's mountain gate, coating the entire mountain range with a magnificent glow.

In the residence of the fourth initiation disciple, disciples gradually opened their doors and walked in twos and threes toward the dining hall.

Just then, someone stopped in their tracks and froze.

Beside the stone steps by the mountain path stood a girl dressed in the robes of an outer disciple.

The girl was slender and gentle, with a calm and serene demeanor. A gentle breeze caressed her clothes and hair, making her look like a small white flower swaying quietly.

Several new disciples couldn't help but take a few more glances, their eyes filled with a mixture of amazement and doubt.

"Who is this senior sister? I've never seen her before?"

"I don't know... how did she end up in our disciples' quarters?"

"Could they be looking for someone? Do any of our disciples have the ability to establish a connection with a senior sister from the outer sect?"

"Perhaps they're a relative of some prominent family?"

As the group was whispering among themselves, they suddenly noticed the girl who had been standing quietly suddenly brighten up, a faint smile blooming on her lips, as if she had come alive all at once.

She took a few steps toward the end of the mountain path to meet them.

Following her gaze, everyone saw a young man climbing the winding mountain path, the setting sun casting a long shadow behind him.

"Junior Brother Lu, you're back." Lin Ying's voice was soft and her tone gentle.

Upon seeing the boy's appearance, several disciples around him widened their eyes simultaneously.

"Hiss... It's him?!" someone exclaimed in a low voice.

"I remember this person! The one who ate the spiritual food in the cafeteria last night! It smelled so good... I still can't forget it, it almost made me cry with envy."

"This beautiful senior sister is looking for him?!"

The new disciples looked at each other, their eyes filled with disbelief and envy.

Lu Yang quickly stepped onto the last few steps and gave Lin Ying an apologetic smile: "Senior Sister Lin, you arrived so quickly? I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

Lin Ying gently shook her head, her tone light yet revealing a genuine sense of joy: "I didn't wait long either."

Lu Yang glanced at the various gazes directed at him, and smiled calmly, "Senior Sister Lin, come with me to my residence. It's not convenient to talk here."

Lin Ying didn't think much of it and nodded slightly.

The two walked side by side along the mountain path and soon disappeared into the narrow lanes between the courtyards.

Not far away, another door creaked open.

Wang Lin strode out, his face beaming with excitement and barely concealing his pride.

The effects of the Qi-Nourishing Pill are too powerful!

Today's cultivation speed is much faster than before.

He could clearly feel the spiritual energy in his meridians increasing, and the feeling of gradually approaching the mid-stage of Qi Refining made him feel comfortable both physically and mentally.

At this rate, he will definitely be able to break through before the assessment ends!

Wang Lin became increasingly smug, his grin spreading so wide he couldn't stop.

snort!

So what if Lu Yang meets a benefactor?

His talent isn't particularly outstanding, so it's hard to say whether he can make a breakthrough before the assessment.

Ultimately, the path to immortality depends on genuine cultivation; you can't go far by relying solely on luck!

He stood at the door of his house, glancing arrogantly in the direction of Lu Yang's residence.

The next second, the smug smile on his face froze as if it had been frozen.

He saw Lu Yang standing at the door, and beside him was a woman.

A woman with an extremely beautiful face, dressed in the robes of an outer disciple!

Wang Lin's pupils suddenly contracted, and he stood frozen in place as if struck by lightning.

Outer sect senior sister??

And... how beautiful is she?

This bastard actually brought such a beautiful senior sister back to his residence?!

What's their relationship?!

What makes Lu Yang, a mere nobody, think he can do this?!

Wang Lin felt as if he had been punched hard in the chest, and his carefully mended composure shattered into pieces.
