System Upgrade, Another Tycoon-Exclusive Skill
Su Jinxuan's emotions were churning.
When Lu Yang agreed to help her before, he said it was because of her.
Now they're saying it's because of her.
Is my reputation really that important...?
Su Jinxuan's feelings were quite complicated at that moment.
I felt a mix of nervousness, apprehension, and a vague, inexplicable sense of surprise.
Her tension and fear stemmed primarily from the fact that, as Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, she was well aware that such a miraculous method as altering the concentration of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi would inevitably come at a very high price.
Lu Yang only symbolically accepted a few Spirit Stones, which left her with a huge favor, so huge that she even felt somewhat uneasy.
She has no idea whether she'll ever be able to repay this favor!
Surprisingly, Lu Yang said both times that it was because of her that he cared. So, it seems I still hold a place in his heart?
Was it because of their previous discussion that Young Master Lu considered her a friend?
It couldn't possibly be that he likes her, could it?
The thought flashed through her mind, and Su Jinxuan chuckled to herself.
How is that possible?
The two are about five hundred years apart in age; how could someone like Young Master Lu possibly like her?
Compared to Su Jinxuan's complicated feelings, Lin Xuanchen and the other two were filled with pure excitement and exhilaration.
After all, Su Jinxuan was the Supreme Elder of their Golden Rainbow Sword Sect.
If she and Lu Yang had a good relationship, even just out of consideration for her, Lu Yang would still give the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect some preferential treatment!
With such a mysterious and noble young master protecting them, how could the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect not take off?!
Who knows, their sect might produce a Spirit Transformation Realm expert someday.
At that time, it wouldn't be impossible for us to join the ranks of the Immortal Sect Holy Lands!
They even wished that Lu Yang and Su Jinxuan's relationship could be even better!
Qi Yunshu smiled broadly and said, "It seems that Junior Sister has a lot of influence. We've all benefited from her."
Su Jinxuan snapped out of her reverie, suppressed her chaotic thoughts, and smiled slightly, "Young Master Lu is too kind."
Lu Yang glanced at the panel showing his favorability rating towards Su Jinxuan.
Sure enough, it improved again.
However, this time it only increased by 1 point, reaching 71.
Therefore, it seems that using this method again will not be as effective.
Even a 1-point improvement is good now.
Even a mosquito's leg is still meat, no matter how small.
He stopped thinking about it and steered the conversation back to business, "How long do you plan to spend on the upgrade? Just give me the Spirit Stones."
Lin Xuanchen and the other three exchanged glances, then Qi Yunshu asked, "Young Master Lu, I'll trade you 300 million Low-Grade Spirit Stones first. You can decide how long it will take to improve your level."
Lu Yang nodded slightly. "That works too."
Qi Yunshu then took out a pile of Low-Grade Spirit Stones from her Storage Bag.
Because three hundred million Low-Grade Spirit Stones was a considerable amount, they were piled up in the hall into several glittering little mountains.
The hall was rather cramped, and it took several transactions to complete.
It has to be said that the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect is quite wealthy.
As the sect leader, Qi Yunshu actually had 300 million Low-Grade Spirit Stones in his Storage Bag, which shows the sect's wealth.
After receiving the Low-Grade Spirit Stones, Lu Yang said, "Changing the Spiritual Qi concentration will take some time; we won't see the effects until tomorrow. You can first drive away the disciples and elders on the surrounding mountain peaks to avoid being affected."
Lin Xuanchen immediately nodded. "Then I'll trouble you, Young Master Lu. We'll get on it right away!"
After saying their goodbyes, the four took their leave.
The footsteps quickly disappeared at the end of the corridor, and the cave abode returned to silence.
Lu Yang then returned to his bedroom.
This was the first time Lu Yang had ever spent such a large sum of Spirit Stones.
A whopping 300 million!
I can use a Rebate Card.
Moreover, the Tycoon's Confidence can be directly upgraded.
With a thought, the Low-Grade Spirit Stones in his Storage Ring transformed into a torrent, surging towards the Spiritual Qi Concentration Regulator in the corner.
The Spirit Stone flew into the slowly rotating white galaxy, where it was instantly spun into the purest Spiritual Qi and swallowed up by the black sphere.
Three hundred million Spirit Stones was an enormous amount; even though the regulator accepted all incoming spirit stones, it still took several hours to fully charge it.
Once the last Spirit Stone was completely absorbed, the hazy morning light began to filter through the skylight.
A faint, pale white light appeared on the eastern ridgeline, and the mist slowly swirled in the dim light, enveloping the entire mountain in a hazy, silvery-gray hue.
After the recharge was completed, Lu Yang marked the area that needed to be covered on the control panel.
After the range is confirmed, the duration after recharge is also displayed.
These Low-Grade Spirit Stones can last for over four hundred years!
This is almost as long as the lifespan of a Golden Core Realm cultivator.
After the selection was made, the Spiritual Qi Concentration Regulator immediately began operating at full capacity.
A deep humming sound emanated from the black sphere, and the Spiritual Qi that had been bound within the mountain's range by an invisible force began to slowly spread outward.
The mist seemed to be pushed by an invisible hand, spreading over the mountain ridges and valleys, silently surging towards the six surrounding peaks.
Next, the regulator will operate on its own.
Lu Yang couldn't wait to take out a Rebate Card and lock the record of the 300 million Spirit Stones he had just spent.
[Designated purchase successful, random reward multiplier: 5, congratulations host, you have obtained 1.5 billion Low-Grade Spirit Stones!]
1.5 billion!
Lu Yang grinned, his smile radiant.
In addition, he possessed over 400 million Low-Grade Spirit Stones and over 1 million Mid-Grade Spirit Stones.
He now possesses over 2 billion low-grade Spirit Stone Low-Grade Spirit Stones!
This wealth surpasses the entire fortune of a large, powerful force at the Golden Core level.
However, compared to top sects like the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect, which have a long and distinguished history, it is still somewhat lacking.
Besides Spirit Stones, the Tycoon's Confidence can be further enhanced.
Lu Yang didn't hesitate and immediately chose to upgrade.
The next moment, lines of text popped up on the panel.
[The Tycoon's Confidence has been upgraded to Level 10. The system has been upgraded, and the rewards the host receives will be increased!]
[The host has acquired a super-rich exclusive skill: The Heft of Money!]
Lu Yang was taken aback.
The Tycoon's Confidence actually caused the system to upgrade?
The rewards are even increasing!?
It should be noted that Lu Yang's original reward was already quite generous.
If he were to improve further, Lu Yang couldn't even imagine what kind of reward he could receive!
Moreover, he acquired a skill exclusive to super-rich players!
The [Power of Money] I acquired earlier is already strong enough.
Given the Heft of Money involved, it probably won't be too bad, right?
Lu Yang couldn't wait to check out this exclusive skill for a super-rich person.
[The Heft of Money: When attacked fatally, automatically consumes Spirit Stones to generate a shield with unlimited strength. (For the super-rich, the Heft of Money is the power of life!)]
"Hiss..."
Lu Yang gasped.
That's a pretty powerful skill!
Although he had bodyguards like Wang Da and the Power of Money to temporarily boost his strength, his cultivation level was ultimately only at the Late Qi Refining, and even at full power, he was only at the peak of Peak Foundation Establishment.
If a powerful individual were to bypass the bodyguards and attack him, he would still be at risk of being fatally wounded.
Now that we have this skill, as long as we have Spirit Stones, any fatal attack will be automatically blocked!
The more Spirit Stones you have, the stronger your life force!
For Lu Yang, who possesses two billion Low-Grade Spirit Stones, the thickness of this shield is probably something even Spirit Transformation Realm cultivator couldn't break through.
No wonder it's a skill exclusive to the super-rich!
Lu Yang glanced again at the upgraded Tycoon's Confidence.
[The Tycoon's Confidence (Level 10): Gain 10 Mid-Grade Spirit Stones every hour (Money is the Tycoon's Confidence; spending 3 million Mid-Grade Spirit Stones will upgrade this level)]
His eyes lit up slightly upon seeing the message.
The level 10 Tycoon's Confidence becomes a top-tier player) is already rewarded with Mid-Grade Spirit Stones.
Mid-Grade Spirit Stones are rarer than Low-Grade Spirit Stones, and they can also be used directly as pills.
Compared to Low-Grade Spirit Stones, Mid-Grade Spirit Stones even have a premium!
This is much better than directly rewarding you with Low-Grade Spirit Stones!
Since level 10 rewards Mid-Grade Spirit Stone, is it possible that later levels will reward High-Grade Spirit Stones, or even Supreme-Grade Spirit Stones?
You should know that Supreme-Grade Spirit Stones are no less valuable than some heavenly materials and earthly treasures!
If the Tycoon's Confidence is truly confident enough to reward Supreme-Grade Spirit Stones, then it's equivalent to receiving precious heavenly materials and earthly treasures every day!
