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

Lu Yang was about to open the door when he suddenly felt a gaze on his back.

He turned his head and saw Wang Lin standing there blankly at the door of another room not far away, his mouth slightly open, his eyes glazed over, looking like a stone sculpture.

Lu Yang raised an eyebrow, a slight smile playing on his lips, and nodded at Wang Lin with a half-smile.

He didn't look any further, reached out and pushed open the door, leading Lin Ying into the house.

The wooden door creaked shut, shutting Wang Lin out.

Wang Lin remained standing still, motionless, and the mountain wind did not bring him back to his senses.

…………

The room was clean and simple, furnished in the standard style for a disciple's residence.

A bed, a table, an oil lamp, and a futon.

Lin Ying's gaze slowly swept across the room, a hint of nostalgia in her eyes. She murmured, "The living quarters for new disciples... after all these years, they haven't changed at all..."

Lu Yang turned his head to look at her, somewhat curious: "How long has Senior Sister Lin been in the outer sect?"

Lin Ying withdrew her gaze and smiled gently: "It's been more than twelve years since I completed the assessment, which is... quite a long time."

Twelve years?

Lu Yang was somewhat surprised and looked Lin Ying up and down.

She still looks like a young woman in her late teens, but her calm and gentle temperament has truly been tempered by the passage of time.

"That's definitely several years ahead of me."

Upon hearing this, Lin Ying's eyes also showed a hint of curiosity, and her gaze swept over Lu Yang.

She originally thought Lu Yang was a newly initiated disciple, but she didn't expect him to be a veteran who had been a disciple for four years.

Disciples who have not passed the assessment after four years of study are, in theory, mostly ordinary people with mediocre talent and background.

But this junior brother in front of me...

Generous spending, refined demeanor—none of these fit the bill.

The thought crossed Lin Ying's mind, but she didn't ask any further questions.

Ultimately, the background is a private matter, and the two people's relationship hasn't reached that stage yet.

She simply smiled gently and steered the conversation back to the main topic: "Junior Brother Lu, this is the Hundred Herbs Pill you requested."

She flipped her jade-like hand, and two perfectly round pills lay quietly in her fair palm.

The Baicao Dan is light green in color, with fine lines flowing on its surface. When you get close, you can smell a faint herbal fragrance that is refreshing and pleasant.

Lu Yang took the pill, examined it for a moment, and nodded in satisfaction: "As expected of Senior Sister Lin, the quality is really good."

A hint of confidence appeared in Lin Ying's eyes, and she smiled slightly: "My alchemy skills are not bad. If you need any pills in the future, junior brother, feel free to come to me."

"No problem!" Lu Yang took out the spirit stones decisively and poured them onto the table. "A total of one hundred and fifty low-grade spirit stones. Senior Sister, please count them."

Lin Ying didn't even glance at it, directly putting the spirit stone into her storage bag and said softly, "I believe in my junior brother."

His movements were swift and his tone was calm; this trust warmed Lu Yang's heart.

He thought for a moment and then said, "Senior sister, have you had dinner yet? If not, I'll treat you to dinner. After all, you gave me such a big discount, so let me show my appreciation in return, how about it?"

Lin Ying was slightly taken aback, then her eyebrows curved into a smile: "I haven't eaten yet. Then I won't be polite."

The two walked out of their residence side by side, attracting countless surprised glances as they headed along the mountain path towards the canteen.

A young man dressed in the robes of an introductory disciple, accompanied by a beautiful senior female disciple from the outer sect, was a pair that was far too conspicuous in the residence of an introductory disciple.

The disciples along the way all turned their heads and whispered among themselves, unable to understand why a formal outer disciple would appear here.

Lu Yang remained calm and continued walking, leading Lin Ying straight into the cafeteria.

The direction he took as soon as he entered the room stunned Lin Ying.

"Shall we go to the window where we buy spiritual food?" Lin Ying paused slightly, looking at Lu Yang with some hesitation.

She originally thought that Lu Yang was just treating her to ordinary food.

Lu Yang turned to look at her, his smile casual and natural: "Since you're treating your senior sister to dinner, ordinary food won't do."

Lin Ying looked at his face, which was made to look exceptionally soft by the dim light, and her ears secretly burned.

She opened her mouth, intending to refuse, but remembering how generous Lu Yang had been when buying the pills, she ultimately said nothing and quietly followed beside him.

The two walked side by side to the window of the spiritual food.

The same burly handyman standing behind the windowsill was the same man from yesterday.

He recognized Lu Yang at a glance, and a warm smile immediately appeared on his face.

In the past year or two, very few disciples were willing to buy spiritual food, and even fewer could afford such good food. Naturally, his impression of Lu Yang was etched into his mind.

Immediately afterwards, his gaze fell on Lin Ying, who was standing next to Lu Yang.

Upon seeing Lin Ying's beautiful and refined face, a look of realization flashed in the burly man's eyes.

With such a beautiful woman by his side and such generous spending, this senior brother must undoubtedly be a scion of some powerful force.

As for why the scions of noble families would stay in their residences for so long, he wisely refrained from pondering it.

The considerations of important figures are beyond the comprehension of a lowly servant like him.

His mind raced, but his smile grew even more respectful as he bowed slightly: "Senior brother, you've arrived! What would you like to eat today? Here's the menu."

Lu Yang took the menu and flipped directly to the last page without any hesitation.

Although he didn't have many spirit stones, it was more than enough for him to have a few good meals.

Expensive spiritual foods use higher-grade ingredients, taste better, and have stronger medicinal effects. Their cost-effectiveness is not necessarily worse than that of cheaper ones.

Of course, with money, cost-effectiveness is no longer a consideration for Lu Yang.

Being happy is the most important thing.

"Sophora japonica marrow soup, nine-steamed sweet potato, braised pork trotters, stir-fried Ganoderma lucidum, honey-glazed bear paw..."

Lu Yang recited the menu in a calm tone, as if he were reading a book list. After finishing, he looked up and asked Lin Ying, "Senior Sister, would you like to add anything else?"

Lin Ying, who was listening from the side, was stunned for a moment.

She had also gone through the probationary period, and naturally, she had also craved spiritual food back then.

But back then, the resources my family provided were already scarce, and we only had basic meals occasionally. We had never seen anything like this before.

Not to mention ordering so much at once!

She quickly reached out and grabbed Lu Yang's sleeve, her voice urgent: "Junior brother, that's too much! This much is enough. It would be a waste if the spiritual energy couldn't be refined in time!"

Lu Yang smiled and said unhurriedly, "Of course I can't finish it all by myself, but my senior sister is here. Her cultivation is higher than mine, so she can eat more."

The burly servant listened from behind the window, clicking his tongue in amazement.

Young masters from aristocratic families are indeed willing to go to great lengths to win the favor of their female disciples...

However, upon further reflection, he realized that his senior brother always ordered expensive dishes when he was eating alone, so it was reasonable for him to have more people and more dishes.

Seeing that Lu Yang had already put it this way, Lin Ying could only nod slightly and soften her tone: "Then... then let's leave it at that. I really can't finish any more."

Okay, that's all.

The burly servant deftly took out the five spiritual dishes one by one, and then took out two bowls of crystal-clear spiritual rice from his storage bag, arranging them neatly on the wooden tray.

The five spiritual foods cost a total of fourteen low-grade spirit stones.

Lu Yang calmly paid the money, picked up the wooden tray, and turned around.

An even richer aroma than yesterday suddenly burst forth, sweeping through the entire cafeteria like a tidal wave.

The rich aroma of meat is wrapped in the refreshing scent of spiritual energy, the sweetness of honey-glazed bear paw is mixed with the freshness of jade bamboo essence, and several extreme flavors intertwine and rampage through the entire space.

The cafeteria was immediately filled with the sound of people swallowing their saliva, a sound that was like frogs bubbling in a pond.

The disciples looked up, their eyes fixed on the tray in Lu Yang's hands, their eyes filled with shock and envy.

no……

Are we just not going to live our lives anymore?!

You ate so well yesterday, and today's meal is even more outrageous?!

Could you please consider our feelings even slightly?!

They looked down at the simple food in their bowls, then smelled the exotic aroma that seemed to transport them to another world, and felt as if the food in their mouths had instantly turned to wax.

How can anyone eat like this?

Lu Yang was oblivious to the intense gazes around him. He and Lin Ying found a quiet corner with their trays, sat down opposite each other, and began to enjoy the sumptuous dinner.

Lin Ying ate delicately, savoring each bite.

She would occasionally lift her eyelids to steal a glance at Lu Yang across from her.

Lu Yang's charm value is now 1.1. He has a clean and handsome appearance, and his eyes and brows carry a faint ethereal quality.

As he bent down to eat, the light fell on his profile, highlighting his clean and sharp features.

Lin Ying thought to herself, "In terms of appearance alone, this junior brother would probably rank among the top in the entire Golden Rainbow Sword Sect."

Moreover, not only is she beautiful, but she also has a good personality. He was willing to spend so many spirit stones to treat her to a meal...

Lin Ying's cheeks flushed slightly as she ate the meal, her eyes sparkling like stars reflected on a lake.

Both of them were very satisfied with the meal.

As they put down their chopsticks, the two exchanged a glance and couldn't help but smile.

The comfort and ease after a satisfying meal need no words; a single glance is enough to convey it.

Just then, a light screen quietly appeared in front of Lu Yang, and a line of text slowly appeared.

[The host enjoys a delicious meal with his beloved, and is in a pleasant mood. Reward: 500 low-grade spirit stones!]

Lu Yang's heart skipped a beat.

Goodness, another reward?

This time it's 500 low-grade spirit stones, more than the last time I ate them all by myself, but unfortunately there's no rebate card.

It seems the system's rewards are indeed random, and the content depends entirely on luck.

Although there's no rebate card, 500 spirit stones is already quite good.

The meal only cost fourteen dollars in total.

Eat and take home – a huge profit!

When the two walked out of the cafeteria, it was already completely dark.

As night fell, countless stars covered the entire sky atop the mountain peaks, like a box of broken silver that had been spilled.

A full moon hung in the sky, its clear light like mercury spilling onto the ground, coating the stone steps and pine forests in the mountains with a hazy silver glow.

A gentle night breeze carries the cool, refreshing scent of mountain plants, which feels especially pleasant on the face.

Lin Ying stood in the moonlight, her black hair gently lifted by the night breeze, a few strands brushing against her fair cheeks.

She raised her hand and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. The gesture was quiet and natural, like a painting frozen in Lu Yang's eyes.

She turned to look at Lu Yang, her smile carrying a hint of seriousness: "Junior Brother Lu, thank you for spending money today. Next time, it's my turn to treat you."

Lu Yang raised an eyebrow and chuckled, "If that's what you say, Senior Sister, then I won't stand on ceremony. I'll remember that."

Lin Ying smiled at his gaze, then said softly, "Well... I'll head back now. Junior brother, go back and refine the spiritual energy within your body, and cultivate diligently. I think with your potential, you should be able to enter the outer sect soon."

"Thank you for your kind words, senior sister."

Lin Ying turned and left, her white robes fluttering gently in the moonlight, walking further and further along the mountain path until she disappeared into the depths of the pine shadows.

Lu Yang stood on the stone steps, watching her leave until her figure disappeared from sight before turning his gaze away.

He returned to his residence under a sky full of stars. The moment he opened the door, the faint, bitter medicinal fragrance of Baicao Dan still lingered in the room.

He walked to the futon and sat down cross-legged, but did not immediately close his eyes to cultivate.

He still has a reward he hasn't claimed.

He hadn't had a chance to open the "extra reward" that the system had suggested when he added Lin Ying's contact information.

Let's claim the reward first.
