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

Early the next morning.

Morning light streamed through the curtains into the top-floor room of the airship, cutting pale golden beams of light into the air.

Tiny dust particles swirled slowly in the light, turning silently and making the quiet room even more peaceful.

Lu Yang slowly opened his eyes and turned his head to look at his side.

Lin Ying was still fast asleep, her delicate brows slightly furrowed, as if her dream still carried some lingering feelings from the previous night.

A faint tear stain remained at the corner of her eye, gleaming faintly in the morning light.

Scattered marks from last night were visible on her snow-white neck, shoulders, and forearms. Some had faded to a light pink, while others still had a faint reddish tinge, like petals fallen on snow.

Lu Yang leaned in gently and gave her a light, fleeting kiss on the cheek.

He then carefully lifted the covers and got up, making every movement very slow and soft, afraid of waking the person next to him.

After the cleansing ritual was completed, he changed his robes, tightened his belt, and felt refreshed.

Then he remembered something, took out the storage bags that Fang Xun and the others had given him yesterday from his storage ring, opened them one by one, and emptied out and checked the contents.

In a flash of inspiration, a pile of treasures was spread across the table, gleaming in varying shades of light in the morning glow.

After the inventory was completed, Lu Yang couldn't help but show a hint of surprise.

These Golden Core elders truly put their hearts into it.

Among them are two top-grade magical artifacts.

The first item is called Yunfeng Sword Pendant, which is a palm-sized jade pendant.

The entire piece is carved from frost-white jade, with a warm and delicate texture. The surface is engraved with more than a dozen intricate sword patterns, with sharp lines as if cleaved by a knife or axe.

As the morning light fell on the sword's markings, each engraving shimmered with a subtle silver glow, as if it were slowly breathing.

The function of this sword pendant is quite simple: it accumulates sword intent through sword patterns, and the longer the accumulation time, the greater its power.

It takes about three months to fully accumulate sword intent. When the sword intent is released, its power is comparable to the full-force attack of a Foundation Establishment cultivator in the early stage.

Once the sword intent is used up, it will be cleared and you will need to start accumulating it again.

In other words, every three months there is one more trump card in the early stages of Foundation Establishment.

This is an extremely powerful magic weapon for any Qi Refining stage cultivator.

For Lu Yang, this is also a pretty good supplement.

Although he now has a puppet bodyguard at the Golden Core stage accompanying him, he doesn't have many opportunities to take action.

But when it comes to sect assessments, you can't just have bodyguards do it for you.

This sword pendant with hidden sharpness will come in handy when the time comes.

Lu Yang happily hung the jade pendant on his waist.

The other exquisite magical artifact was a jade bracelet.

The entire piece is made of polished cyan jade, which is translucent and lustrous, and almost translucent under the light, like a pool of frozen spring water.

The bracelet is engraved with intricate and complex spiritual patterns, which are smooth and elegant. When worn, it fits snugly against the skin and feels warm to the touch.

Once activated by spiritual energy, this magical artifact can condense a layer of wooden spiritual energy shield around its body.

The shield is strong enough to withstand a full-force attack from a Qi Refining Peak cultivator, and it can also barely hold its own against attacks from a Foundation Establishment early stage cultivator.

Combined with the top-grade robe he wore, the two protective shields unfolded simultaneously, allowing him to withstand even the full-force attack of a Foundation Establishment cultivator in the early stages.

Lu Yang slipped the jade bracelet onto his wrist and twirled it. The bracelet reflected a pale blue halo in the morning light, which was quite beautiful.

Besides these two top-grade magical artifacts, there were also several bottles of top-grade Qi-Nourishing Pills and top-grade Blood-Coagulating Pills in the storage bag, with the fragrance of the medicine faintly seeping out through the bottle stoppers.

There are also a few Crimson Blood Fruits, which are entirely crimson with faint blood-red veins pulsating on their skin. Eating them can directly enhance the strength of one's physical body.

To be honest, this thing is actually the least useful to Lu Yang.

He can reliably gain 0.1 physique points from his daily tasks. His physique is increasing rapidly, so using Crimson Blood Fruit would be a complete waste.

I'll give it to Senior Sister Lin then.

Senior Sister Lin's health is too weak, and she cannot fully enjoy herself.

This Crimson Blood Fruit would be suitable to help her replenish her energy.

The items that Fang Xun and his group sent weren't of particularly high quality, but they were all top-notch.

Each item seemed to have been specially selected according to his current level of cultivation and needs.

To be honest, the overall value of these items is not low.

The two top-grade magic artifacts alone are worth fifty or sixty thousand or even more low-grade spirit stones. Add to that the top-grade pills and Crimson Blood Fruit, and the total value is at least over one hundred thousand.

For Lu Yang, this was an unexpected windfall.

He packed everything up and glanced back at Lin Ying, who was still fast asleep on the bed.

The morning light fell on her serene face, and her eyelashes cast two faint shadows on her cheeks.

Her breathing was long and even, indicating that she was fast asleep.

Lu Yang did not wake her up.

He quietly closed the door, walked up the spiral staircase, and came to the deck.

In the early morning, the Taibai Mountains are shrouded in a thin layer of morning mist, and the outline of the distant mountains resembles a long scroll painted with light ink wash.

The airship hovered above the clouds, the air on the deck was crisp and cool, and taking a deep breath made me feel more refreshed.

Lu Yang had Wang Da lead him down the flying boat and brought him back to the Miraculous Pharmacy.

The market was not yet fully bustling in the morning, and there were only a few early-morning cultivators on the streets. When they saw Lu Yang descending from the sky, they quickly bowed and made way for him.

The doors of Miaoshou Pharmacy were already open, and inside, a shop assistant was using a feather duster to clean the dust off the counter.

Wang Da led Lu Yang to the fourth floor.

Guan Qiu was in the reception room when she saw Lu Yang enter. She quickly stepped forward to greet him and bowed respectfully.

"Young Master, I was just about to look for you. Everything you asked for yesterday has been prepared."

She lightly touched the storage bag at her waist.

The next moment, bottles of pills, stacks of talismans, several magical artifacts, and a pile of spiritual materials appeared neatly on the floor.

All kinds of items are categorized and arranged neatly, even the labels on the pill bottles are all facing the same direction, making it pleasing to the eye at a glance.

Guan Qiu pointed to the items and introduced them one by one, speaking at a measured pace: "As you instructed, here are thirty bottles of Yellow Dragon Pills, thirty bottles of Qi-Nourishing Pills, and various other cultivation pills, totaling over a hundred bottles. There are also thirty bottles of healing pills, ten bottles of detoxification pills… These pills are all top-grade, with excellent effects. In addition, yesterday I arranged for someone to purchase several hundred high-grade first-tier talismans of various kinds, and ten magic artifacts, all of which are also top-grade. The rest are some spiritual fruits and materials. Young Master, please see if there is anything missing?"

Lu Yang scanned the items with his divine sense and got a general idea of ​​what they were.

The quality is indeed good, and the quantity is sufficient.

He nodded in satisfaction, a smile appearing on his face: "Not bad, you put in the effort."

He couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude; this was the advantage of having subordinates to do things for him.

If he were to purchase all these items one by one, it would likely take him a considerable amount of time traveling between the various shops in the market.

Now that Qiu Dai is in charge of making arrangements, he only needs to say a word, and the items will be laid out in front of him the next day.

Once Jiang Shiqing arrives, she can be assigned to handle various household chores.

Even the annual profits from the Miraculous Pharmacy can be given to her once your relationship with her is high enough.

Although Lu Yang currently only has one Miaoshou Pharmacy, he will definitely have other businesses in the future.

At that time, just collecting profits each year will be a huge undertaking, but with someone's help, it will be much easier.

Actually, it would be good if Senior Sister Lin could help with these matters.

Unfortunately, her plan to cultivate her beauties follows the path of becoming a Celestial Emperor of Alchemy, which means she needs to spend a lot of time on alchemy and focus on improving her alchemy skills.

If you get distracted by these kinds of trivial matters, it will actually affect the progress of your training.

With a wave of his hand, Lu Yang transformed the items on the ground into a stream of light and stored them all in his storage ring.

He looked at Guan Qiu and said gently, "Guan Qiu, I'll be leaving shortly. Please take good care of Senior Sister Lin."

Guan Qiu bowed respectfully, her voice hoarse yet steady and powerful: "Young Master, rest assured, I will certainly teach your wife diligently."

Lu Yang nodded and, supported by Wang Da's spiritual energy, left the Miraculous Pharmacy and returned to the Flowing Light Flying Boat hovering in the morning light.

A cool morning breeze blew across the deck, causing robes to flutter.

Lu Yang stood at the ship's railing, glanced once more at the market town shrouded in morning mist, and then ordered Wang San to start the flying boat, which slowly headed towards the Lin family's location.

The massive hull of the Flowing Light Flying Boat changed direction in the morning mist, its spiritual patterns shimmering with light, silently breaking through the clouds and flying towards the Lin family.

Lu Yang himself started running around the deck.

Footsteps tapped out a steady rhythm on the empty deck, echoing the sound of the wind sweeping past the ship's side in the distance, creating a calm melody.

The morning light cast his running figure onto the deck, the shadow jumping long and short with each step he took.

Daily tasks cannot be neglected.

Both basic attributes and general experience are extremely important accumulations for Lu Yang.

Over time, this became the most fundamental difference between him and other cultivators.

After finishing his run, he returned to the top floor, sat down in his study, took out "The Record of Co-creating Fortune" and began to carefully read through each page.

It must be said that this dual cultivation technique truly lives up to its reputation as a top-grade Earth-rank technique; its effects are indeed remarkable.

Last night, he and Senior Sister Lin practiced according to the methods in the cultivation manual for the first time, and they felt that the cultivation efficiency was far greater than when they meditated alone on weekdays. The speed of spiritual energy condensation and the tempering effect were significantly higher.

In particular, the cultivation level that Senior Sister Lin gained from dual cultivation would be fed back to him at a rate of 20%.

This is equivalent to him putting in one effort but receiving two cultivation points, which is simply wonderful.

In the future, you can take the pills first and then engage in dual cultivation; the effect should be even better.

He was turning the pages of a book when there was a knock on the door.

Knock knock knock!

Lu Yang looked up at the door, put down the book in his hand, and said softly, "Come in."

The door creaked open, and Lin Ying stepped in.

She changed into an elegant apricot-colored long dress, and her hair was simply tied up in a bun and secured with a jade hairpin.

Her pretty face still carried a hint of languid satisfaction and allure.

Her cheeks were slightly flushed, and her eyes darted around, clearly still embarrassed about what happened last night.

Last night, the two of them practiced the dual cultivation techniques page by page, which truly shocked Lin Ying.

Even now, thinking about it makes her head spin and her ears burn.

"Junior Brother Lu, you..."

She looked up, about to speak, when she saw Lu Yang holding that familiar book in his hand.

Lin Ying's expression suddenly froze, and the words caught in her throat.

She almost reflexively took a half-step back.

Lu Yang's lips twitched, and he was speechless.

Wait... were you serious about taking half a step back?

Lin Ying's lips moved a few times, and the blush on her face spread to her neck at a visible speed.

Her gaze darted back and forth between Lu Yang's face and the book twice before she hurriedly said, "I... I just remembered I have something to do..."

Before he could finish speaking, he had already turned and run away.

Footsteps echoed down the corridor, growing fainter and fainter, as fast as a startled rabbit.

Lu Yang: "????"
