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

Almost an hour later, Lin Ying reappeared at the end of the top-floor corridor.

Her face was flushed, her hands twisting the hem of her dress hanging down her waist, her head lowered, not daring to look at Lu Yang at all.

Her steps were light and slow, like a child who had done something wrong. Her voice trembled slightly as she said awkwardly, "Junior Brother Lu... I smelled so bad just now, why didn't you stay away from me?"

She wanted her junior brother Lu to always see her at her best.

Her long hair was neatly tied back, her clothes were clean and tidy, and she smelled of herbs and medicinal pills. That was her most composed self.

As a result, she was in the same room as Junior Brother Lu, and he saw her from beginning to end, looking all sticky and smelly.

At that moment, she even felt that dying on the spot would be more pleasant.

She even worried that Junior Brother Lu might stop liking her because of this.

Lu Yang couldn't help but chuckle at her embarrassed and ashamed expression, which made her wish she could disappear into the ground.

He took two steps forward, reached out and ruffled her hair, and said softly, "What's wrong with that? Cleansing the marrow and removing impurities is a natural process. You're overreacting, Senior Sister Lin."

Lin Ying secretly raised her eyes and peeked at Lu Yang's expression through her eyelashes.

Seeing that his gaze was open and his expression sincere, without the slightest hint of disgust, the weight that had been hanging over her heart for almost an hour finally lifted.

Lu Yang reached out and took her hand. His palm was warm and dry. He naturally changed the subject: "Let's go. Wang San told me we're almost at the market."

Lin Ying stopped thinking about it and nodded gently: "Mm."

The two went to the cultivation room on the second floor and found Lin Mingyue and the other two.

Upon hearing that they were about to arrive at Taibai Market, the three of them lit up at the same time and jumped up from their prayer mats in excitement.

Lin Ling whispered in Lin Jin's ear, "Has that kid Deng Xian arrived yet?"

A glint of excitement flashed in Lin Jin's eyes. He nodded vigorously and replied telepathically, "They're here! I told that bastard we were going to the Miraculous Pharmacy with our elders to broaden our horizons. Knowing that kid's personality, he's probably already squatting there, waiting to see us make a fool of ourselves!"

Lin Ling chuckled, his grin almost reaching his ears: "Great!! Let Deng Xian see just how amazing our brother-in-law is!"

The two exchanged a glance, both seeing eager anticipation in each other's eyes.

Lin Mingyue's attention remained fixed on Lu Yang and Lin Ying, who were walking side by side in front of her. Looking at the two figures walking very close together, she was filled with envy.

While Lin Ling and Lin Jin were secretly communicating telepathically, Lu Yang had already led Lin Ying out of the palace and to the edge of the flying boat deck.

He leaned on the gunwale and looked down. Lin Ying stood beside him, her hair being lifted by the breeze, a few strands brushing against the back of his hand.

Not far below was a market town.

Taebaek Ward is built along the continuous mountain range of the Taebaek Mountains, with layers of pavilions and towers stretching from the foot of the mountain all the way to the mountainside.

The formation condensed a faint white mist, enveloping the entire market in a hazy atmosphere, giving it a truly ethereal, otherworldly appearance from afar.

Many cultivators flew in the sky on their swords, the colorful streaks trailing behind them crisscrossing in the air like a flowing net of light.

Some cultivators travel by flying boat or riding beast mounts. A gray-feathered eagle with a wingspan of several meters swept past the side of the flying boat. The cultivator on its back turned his head to look at the huge hull of the Flowing Light Flying Boat, his pupils shrank, and he pulled hard on the reins to keep his distance.

The entire market area is extremely large, probably several kilometers in circumference, with buildings standing side by side, making it comparable in size to a small city.

Lin Ying had previously told Lu Yang that Taibai Market was the largest market between the Yuan Kingdom and several nearby small kingdoms.

Therefore, there are quite a few cultivators coming and going from this place, making it quite lively.

Upon seeing the glittering flying boat, the expressions of all the passing cultivators changed instantly.

Their faces were pale, and they took a detour with awe. They would avoid blocking the airship's path, or even getting too close, as if they would be cursed.

Many cultivators who were originally flying towards the market simply stopped in mid-air, no longer moving an inch, just hovering in the sky, watching the flying boat slowly pass by.

Clearly, they were worried that if the owner of the flying boat came to the market to cause trouble, they would be courting death if they went over at this time.

In an instant, the once bustling market became much quieter.

Lin Mingyue and the other two stood not far from Lu Yang, watching the surrounding cultivators who all looked on with awe and reverence, and an overwhelming sense of pride welled up in their hearts.

The feeling was as if a surge of heat flowed from their chest to their limbs, causing them to involuntarily straighten their backs and even raise their chins slightly.

"Is this what brother-in-law's pomp and circumstance is like? Wherever the flying boat goes, all the other cultivators have to detour!" Lin Jin's face flushed with excitement.

"Hehehe, being able to come out with my brother-in-law makes my life worthwhile!" Lin Ling's voice trembled with excitement.

…………

Taibai Market, the core trading area.

As the largest market town among several surrounding countries, Taibai Market Town is considered one of the most important markets under the jurisdiction of the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect.

Many Golden Core families and sects under the jurisdiction of the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect have opened branches here.

Even the Golden Core factions from several nearby countries have set up their main stores here.

Therefore, the prosperity of the core trading area far surpasses that of the surrounding areas.

On both sides of the wide bluestone streets, tall buildings stand tall, and the signs are adorned with shimmering lights.

Miaoshou Pharmacy is one of the large shops in the core trading area.

Although Miaoshou Pharmacy only has branches in seven countries near Yuan Kingdom, it is not considered a particularly large shop within the entire Golden Rainbow Sword Sect.

However, because the main store is located in the core trading area of ​​Taibaifang Market, the headquarters store is quite impressive.

It occupies a tall, four-story building with vermilion pillars, glazed eaves, and a large plaque with gold lettering on a black background above the door, which reads "Miraculous Pharmacy". It is filled with spiritual energy and can be seen from afar.

Perhaps because the end of the year is approaching, cultivators will also purchase some pills to give as gifts or to reward themselves for a year of hard work.

Therefore, Miaoshou Pharmacy is currently bustling with customers, and the bluestone steps in front of the door are crowded with people.

In a corner near the entrance of the Miraculous Pharmacy, two young men and two young women stood with their necks hunched, their eyes constantly scanning the passing cultivators, as if waiting for someone.

These four are the younger generation of the Deng family: Deng Xian, Deng Yu, Deng Yue, and Deng Lin.

The cultivators who come to the core trading area and trade at the Miraculous Pharmacy all have some background and considerable wealth.

At the very least, they are no worse than the Deng family, and in most cases, they are even better than the Deng family.

Therefore, Deng Xian and the other three appeared somewhat nervous at this moment, deliberately shrinking into the corner to avoid attracting attention.

After watching the cultivators come and go for a while, Deng Yu frowned first, his tone becoming impatient: "Ah Xian, haven't those three idiots from the Lin family arrived yet?"

Deng Yue crossed her arms, her narrow eyes slightly narrowed, and a sarcastic smile played on her lips: "They wouldn't be lying to us, would they? Deliberately making us waste our time here?"

Deng Lin, being the most timid, hunched her shoulders and looked around. When she saw several powerful Foundation Establishment cultivators emerging from the shop, she shrank back behind Deng Yu, whispering, "Should we... go back first? If our ancestor finds us standing here idly without cultivating, he'll think we four are good-for-nothings. In that case, our monthly stipends might be docked."

Deng Xian gritted his teeth, somewhat angrily saying, "Damn it... When we get back to the sect after the New Year, I'm going to teach that bastard Lin Jin a lesson! How dare he play us for fools!"

They originally planned to witness the Lin family's embarrassment firsthand here, and then tell their friends about it as a joke after returning to their sect after the New Year.

As a result, Lin Jin still hasn't shown up!

He clearly said he'd be there soon!

That damn bastard!

"Let's go, let's go back..."

Before Deng Xian could finish speaking, a commotion suddenly erupted around him.

The sound started as just one or two exclamations, but then spread rapidly like ripples on water, and in the blink of an eye, all the cultivators on the street were in an uproar.

"Look at the horizon!"

"What is that?! It's a huge flying boat!"

"Hiss... the size of this flying boat... could it be that a big shot from the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect has arrived?"

"It's almost the end of the year, which should be the time for the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect to send people to collect their share. But why would they send a flying ship of this caliber? Is something important happening?"

"I haven't heard anything major. There's been no announcement in the market, and the Fang family hasn't made any unusual moves."

The four members of the Deng family looked in the direction everyone was pointing, their eyes widening as they all gasped in shock.

In the night sky, an unimaginably huge flying ship is slowly approaching from afar.

A faint glow emanated from the ship's hull, and the outlines of palaces were clearly visible on the deck.

"What a huge airship! I've never seen such a big airship before!" Deng Yu exclaimed repeatedly, his mouth agape as if he could fit an egg in it.

Deng Yue nodded, her expression filled with amazement: "Yes... the Fang family's flying boat is only about ten feet long."

The Fang family controls Taibai Market and is one of the most powerful families within the Taibai Mountains.

The clan has five Golden Core stage cultivators, the strongest of whom is the Fang family patriarch, who is at the late Golden Core stage. This strength is considered top-tier within the entire Golden Rainbow Sword Sect.

In the minds of the four members of the Deng family, even the Fang family could never produce such a flying boat.

Those on the flying boat must be important figures from the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect.

However, they were also unclear why a big shot from the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect would come to Taibai Market at this time.

Amidst the gasps and murmurs of the crowd, deep within the Fang family's territory in the heart of the market, three streaks of crimson flame suddenly shot into the sky, trailing long tails of flame as they sliced ​​through the air and flew straight toward the flying boat.

The three flames were as intense as fire, distorting and blurring the surrounding air.

Subsequently, several figures also took to the air in various directions from the core trading area.

One of them flew out from the top floor of the four-story pavilion of the Miraculous Pharmacy.

Seven figures transformed into beams of light, converging from all directions to meet the enormous flying ship hovering above the market.
