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

As a well-known high-end medicine shop in the core trading area of ​​Taibai Market, Miaoshou Pharmacy naturally has a very stylish interior.

The counters, frames, and stairs carved from golden spirit wood gleam with a warm and subtle dark gold luster under the light, and the wood grain meanders and stretches like a flowing stream.

The unique, rich aroma of the sacred wood seeps out from every inch of the polished surface, intertwining with the ubiquitous fragrance of cinnamon and herbs in the air, enveloping every guest who steps into the pharmacy in a warm and fragrant atmosphere.

The delicate and exquisite lamps hanging overhead cast a warm yellow glow that poured down like water, illuminating the entire hall brightly yet without being glaring, instead creating a sense of comforting warmth.

Lu Yang took a deep breath and slowly scanned his surroundings.

The furnishings here are much more refined than most shops in the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect Market, with every detail exuding a sense of history and culture.

He couldn't help but feel a little excited.

After all, this is his first physical business venture.

I had obtained quite a few spirit stones through the system before, but industry is a different story for everyone.

Spirit stones are ultimately just fleeting wealth; once they're spent, they're gone.

Industries, on the other hand, are rooted in the land; they are living water that continuously produces spiritual stones.

Having an industry in hand gives one a greater sense of confidence.

Guan Qiu followed half a step beside Lu Yang, introducing the medicine in her slightly hoarse yet gentle voice: "Young Master, the first floor of the pharmacy sells first-grade pills. Our Miraculous Hands Pharmacy focuses on high-quality products; all our pills are of medium to high quality, and our prices are quite competitive among pills of the same quality..."

As she spoke, she led Lu Yang slowly through the counters.

At each counter, she would stop and patiently point out to Lu Yang the several signature pills displayed inside.

Lu Yang listened, nodding slightly from time to time, his face always maintaining a gentle and composed smile.

To be honest, he didn't know much about business.

Even in his previous life, he had never done business.

Moreover, the business model of the cultivation world has evolved over countless millennia and is already quite advanced.

The so-called membership systems and promotional activities of the previous life are actually not uncommon in the market, and some shops even use them in more creative ways than in the previous life.

Moreover, the business environments on the two sides are worlds apart. If you were to simply apply business cases from your previous life here, you would be making a fool of yourself.

Therefore, Lu Yang had no intention of interfering in the operation of Miaoshou Pharmacy.

On the one hand, since I don't know anything about medicine, rashly intervening could easily ruin a perfectly good pharmacy.

On the other hand, running a medicine shop spanning seven countries is just too tiring.

Managing the supply of goods, the manpower, and dealing with various forces is far more comfortable than simply taking a share of the spirit stones.

In the world of cultivation, strength ultimately reigns supreme.

Without Guan Qiu, a mid-stage Golden Core expert, to oversee the Miaoshou Pharmacy, no matter how fancy its business tactics, it would never have been able to gain a foothold in this region.

Strength is the foundation of everything.

Not only did Guan Qiu introduce things from the side, but Fang Xun and the others also stayed by his side with great enthusiasm, occasionally adding a sentence or two for Lu Yang, or taking the opportunity to introduce the local customs and culture of Taibai Market.

As they spoke, Lu Yang merely glanced at them politely and nodded slightly, which immediately made the group beam with pride, their smiles becoming even more solicitous.

Whenever Lu Yang spoke, everyone would fall silent and listen intently. Even if Lu Yang casually asked about the quality of the pills in the counter, they would hold their breath as if listening to some important instruction.

The group strolled from the first floor to the second floor, and then from the second floor to the third floor.

With each level you ascend, the spiritual energy in the air becomes more concentrated.

The second floor is a market for second-tier pills used by Foundation Establishment stage cultivators.

The third floor is a special designated area, which is no longer open to ordinary individual visitors.

Each of the elegant rooms here has its doors and windows tightly closed, with small wooden plaques hanging above the doors, creating a quiet and orderly atmosphere.

Occasionally, guests who came out of the private room would see this group of Golden Core cultivators escorting a young gentleman as they passed by in a grand procession. They would be so frightened that they would quickly shrink back behind the door and gently close it again.

Because Fang Xun and others were present, Guan Qiu only gave a brief introduction to the general layout of Miaoshou Pharmacy, without going into the details of the business or mentioning the specific supply and sales of the pills.

These things, of course, will be discussed in private.

When Guan Qiu reached the stairwell leading to the fourth floor, she stopped.

She turned around, her gaze sweeping over Fang Xun and the others, a gentle and polite smile on her face, but her tone leaving no room for negotiation: "Fellow Daoists, it's probably not suitable for you to go any further up."

Fang Xun and the others understood immediately upon hearing this.

The fourth floor is the core of Miaoshou Pharmacy, and naturally, it's not a place that outsiders can enter at will.

Although they had known Guan Qiu for many years, they were ultimately outsiders.

Fang Xun immediately cupped his hands in greeting and said with a hearty laugh, "In that case, we'll take our leave now."

He paused, then turned to Lu Yang, his expression even more eager than before, his smile carrying a hint of cautious probing: "Young Master Lu, do you have some free time later? If so, we would like to host a small welcome dinner for you, as a token of our appreciation!"

Upon hearing this, the others' eyes lit up, and they all crowded forward, their faces beaming with enthusiastic, almost ingratiating smiles.

"Yes, yes, Young Master Lu has come from afar, we should certainly host a welcome banquet for him!"

"Our Wang family owns the largest restaurant in the market; tonight, I'll be the host!"

"Hey, Fellow Daoist Wang, you're mistaken! A distinguished guest like Young Master Lu shouldn't be hosted by just you alone! Of course, it's all of us!"

The group chatted amongst themselves, and the atmosphere became even more lively than before.

As they spoke, they all glanced at Lin Ying, whose hand was being held by Lu Yang.

During their conversation, they learned that this female cultivator named Lin Ying was just a member of an obscure little family in the Taibai Mountains.

When Fang Xun and the others learned about this, their eyes lit up with envy.

I was so envious!

The Lin family, who appeared out of nowhere, is incredibly lucky!

The fact that a female cultivator in the clan could get close to such a noble young master is simply a way to elevate the entire clan to the top!

They painstakingly built their business for hundreds of years, befriending countless Golden Core cultivators and numerous powerful families and sects, yet in the end, they couldn't compare to a small Lin family.

They believed that there were many outstanding young female cultivators among the younger generation of their clan, with many possessing exceptional talent and beauty.

Naturally, she wanted to find an opportunity to get to know this young master Lu, even if it was just to become familiar with him.

If they're lucky, one of the younger members of the clan might catch Young Master Lu's eye.

That was a tremendous leap forward for their family!

Faced with the enthusiastic invitations from everyone, Lu Yang glanced at the sky outside the window.

The sun had long since sunk completely behind the mountains, and the last glimmer of sunset had been swallowed up by the night.

The twilight was like a drop of dark ink falling into clear water, which gradually and imperceptibly stained the entire sky.

He thought about it and figured it was already evening, so there was no rush to get going. Since he had nothing else to do, he might as well go and sit down for a while.

Furthermore, he also planned to buy some resources from Taibai Market to take back to the Lu family, since the original ones he bought were given to the Lin family.

Lu Yang nodded slightly: "Okay."

Fang Xun and the others' faces lit up with surprise and delight. They quickly bowed and took their leave, then hurriedly went downstairs.

The footsteps were quick and light, echoing on the stairs for a while before fading away.

They had to hurry back to prepare for the banquet, and then select a few beautiful and virtuous young women from the clan to bring along tonight.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, we can't afford to be careless!

After Fang Xun and the others left, Guan Qiu withdrew his gaze, then glanced at Lin Ying beside Lu Yang and the three standing behind him, looking slightly hesitant.

Lu Yang smiled, his tone casual and natural: "We're all on the same side, it's fine."

Guan Qiu understood and nodded slightly, saying, "Yes, young master, please follow me upstairs."

The group climbed the stairs to the fourth floor.

At the end of the stairs was a carved wooden screen. After passing the screen, a spacious reception room suddenly appeared before us.

The room is furnished in a simple yet elegant style, with a sandalwood incense burner burning in the corner, its smoke curling upwards, filling the space with a sense of tranquility and peace.

Several ancient landscape paintings hang on the four walls, depicting mountains shrouded in mist, creating a profound and evocative atmosphere.

After taking their seats in the reception room, Guan Qiu took out a set of white jade tea utensils and personally brewed a pot of spiritual tea for Lu Yang.

The moment the scalding hot spring water is poured into the pot, a refreshing aroma of tea rises into the air, transforming into a wisp of white mist that lingers for a long time.

She poured the spiritual tea, held the cup with both hands, and respectfully handed it to Lu Yang.

Lu Yang took the cup and sipped it gently.

The tea soup is warm and smooth on the palate. After sliding down the throat and into the stomach, a cool sensation spreads from the dantian to the limbs and bones. It feels as if every pore on the body has been washed by this coolness, and the spirit is instantly invigorated.

It really tastes good!

This was the best spiritual tea he had ever tasted.

Lu Yang put down his teacup, gently stroking the white jade cup with his fingertips. He looked up at Guan Qiu, smiled slightly, and said, "From now on, you will continue to manage the affairs of Miaoshou Pharmacy. If you encounter any problems that you cannot solve, please let me know immediately."

Upon hearing this, Guan Qiu finally felt a weight lifted from his heart.

The wrinkles on her face smoothed out, and she quickly cupped her hands in thanks, saying, "Thank you, young master! I will certainly not fail your trust!"

She was initially worried that the young master's personal visit to the pharmacy might indicate dissatisfaction with her as the manager and a desire to replace her.

It seems that the young master still trusts her.

Lu Yang then asked, "By the way, Guan Qiu, what is the approximate annual profit of this Miraculous Pharmacy?"

Upon hearing this, Guan Qiu took out a thick ledger from his storage bag.

The cover of the ledger was made of spirit animal hide, and the edges were frayed from being turned over. However, the pages inside were written neatly, and every entry was recorded clearly.

She reported: "Young Master, our Miraculous Hands Pharmacy has a total of thirty-one branches across the seven kingdoms. The size of each branch's market is different, and the profits vary. All things considered, after deducting the cost of medicinal materials, alchemist offerings, employee salaries, shop rent, transportation losses, and other expenses, the annual net profit is approximately 800,000 low-grade spirit stones."

After he finished speaking, Lu Yang's reaction was quite calm.

After all, he now has the confidence of being a super-rich person, and he also has a passive income of over 270,000 a year.

This is just passive income. If you include various rebate cards and spirit stones rewarded by the system, his annual income far exceeds this figure.

Eight hundred thousand is indeed not a large sum for him.

But Lin Ying, who was sitting next to him, and Lin Mingyue, who was standing behind him, all widened their eyes and their breathing suddenly became heavy.

Eight hundred thousand a year!!

The Lin family had worked hard for so many years, but all their assets combined amounted to only tens of thousands of low-grade spirit stones.

The annual net profit of Miaoshou Pharmacy is more than ten times the entire wealth of the Lin family!

It's only been a year!

Although the three of them already knew that their brother-in-law had an amazing background and great strength, the hundred-foot flying boat and the Golden Core stage protectors were enough to prove everything.

But flying boats and guards are ultimately beyond their comprehension; they are too ethereal and too distant, making it difficult for them to feel their true reality.

Only these concrete numbers, built from spirit stones, gave them a real understanding.

My brother-in-law earns 800,000 low-grade spirit stones a year from just one of his businesses!

This number absolutely sent chills down their spines!
