Tycoon's Confidence Reaches Level 20, the System Upgrades Again
With a thought, Lu Yang summoned five puppet bodyguards.
The next moment, space distorted, and five ordinary-looking female cultivators appeared in the room.
The five men knelt on one knee and said respectfully, "Greetings, Young Master!"
Mu Yunxue and Jiang Shiqing, who were cultivating inside the room, both looked up when they heard the noise.
Upon seeing the five people's attire, the two immediately realized what was going on.
This is similar to the attire of their guardians.
But they had never seen what he looked like.
Jiang Shiqing asked with some curiosity, "Young master, who are these seniors?"
Lu Yang asked Wang Sanyi other four to stand up, and explained to Jiang Shiqing and Mu Yunxue, "Jinxuan and I have already consummated our marriage, so naturally we cannot favor one over the other. You all have protectors, so Jinxuan should naturally have one too."
Hearing this, Jiang Shiqing and Mu Yunxue were not too surprised.
After all, they had spent so much time with Lu Yang and knew that although he was a bit of a womanizer, he always cared deeply for them, even for his personal maids like Jiang Shiqing and Liu Yaoyao.
That wasn't what puzzled them.
Mu Yunxue glanced at the five people, unable to sense their auras. She asked calmly, "Lu Yang, Elder Su is already Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, does she also need a protector?"
Jiang Shiqing nodded slightly.
In their eyes, Su Jinxuan was not in danger in Qin Province, given her strength.
Even their protectors, at most, are only at the Nascent Soul Perfection, which is considerably stronger than Su Jinxuan, but the difference shouldn't be too vast, right?
For Su Jinxuan, even a protector at the Nascent Soul Perfection stage was not necessary.
Lu Yang chuckled and explained, "These protectors are all at the Void Refinement Realm."
Lu Yang had no need to hide anything from these two women, whose favorability rating was already 100 points.
Mu Yunxue: "?"
Jiang Shiqing: "?"
Both of them froze in place upon hearing Lu Yang's words.
Even the usually aloof and indifferent Mu Yunxue had her mouth slightly agape, her expression somewhat blank.
After a few seconds, Mu Yunxue finally reacted, exclaiming in shock, "The Void Refinement Realm?! But... aren't cultivators in the Canglan Realm unable to break through to the Spirit Transformation Realm?"
Lu Yang laughed and said, "They are not cultivators from the Canglan Realm to begin with. Of course, under the suppression of the Heavenly Dao of the Canglan Realm, they can only exert the strength of the Spirit Transformation Perfection."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Shiqing and Mu Yunxue understood.
However, when they looked at Wang Sanyi and his group of five, who stood expressionless, a hint of awe still lingered in their eyes.
Lu Yang chuckled and said, "Once your cultivation levels improve, I will prepare even stronger protectors for you."
Once Mu Yunxue and the others improve their cultivation, I estimate I'll be able to obtain more Puppet Upgrade Cards, which will be a good opportunity to upgrade their bodyguards as well.
Mu Yunxue and Jiang Shiqing realized what was happening.
Jiang Shiqing looked at Lu Yang with infatuation in her eyes and said, "I'm usually by your side, Young Master, so I don't need any strong protectors. You can prepare things for Senior Sister Mu and the others."
Mu Yunxue didn't say much.
She supported whatever Lu Yang wanted to do.
Lu Yang pinched Jiang Shiqing's pretty face, but didn't say anything more.
While Jiang Shiqing's point wasn't entirely without merit, an upgrade is still necessary.
After all, as his confidante, he certainly couldn't show favoritism.
"Alright, you can continue your cultivation."
Mu Yunxue and Jiang Shiqing said no more, but glanced at Wang Sanyi and his group of five who were standing quietly not far away, and then continued their cultivation.
Lu Yang then continued to check the rewards.
The Marrow-Washing Profound-Penetrating Fruit is also a good reward; it can directly upgrade Spirit Root to the highest grade. It's a valuable item.
Lu Yang thought that Jiang Shiqing was only at the High-Grade Spirit Root.
He said to Jiang Shiqing, who had just closed her eyes, "By the way Shiqing, you can eat this; it can improve your Spirit Root."
Jiang Shiqing's eyes lit up with joy when she saw the Marrow-Washing Profound-Penetrating Fruit in Lu Yang's hand. She got up, walked over to Lu Yang, and took it from him.
She had used the Marrow-Washing Profound-Penetrating Fruit once before, but she didn't expect the young master to give her another one!
The young master truly dotes on her!
She slightly pressed her legs together, pursed her red lips, and her eyes glistened with tears.
Hmm... Elder Su has been helping out these past two days, and she feels she's almost recovered. Maybe she can repay the young master properly again tonight?
Thinking of this, Jiang Shiqing felt a surge of warmth in her heart. She gently kissed Lu Yang, then took the Marrow-Washing Profound-Penetrating Fruit and began to consume it.
As for Mu Yunxue, she didn't even open her eyes, quietly cultivating.
The subsequent reward, the Tycoon's Confidence Upgrade Card, is just enough for Lu Yang to upgrade [Tycoon's Confidence].
Just then, Lu Yang suddenly remembered that he had used the [Power of Money] twice in the Ancient Yue Secret Realm, consuming a considerable amount of Spirit Stones. In addition, he had also spent some Spirit Stones this time asking Mu Yunxue about the inheritance.
Therefore, Lu Yang has accumulated a lot of Spirit Stone experience, but he hasn't leveled up yet.
The main reason is that [the Tycoon's Confidence] is no longer Lu Yang's main source of Spirit Stones, and can only be considered as a small amount of pocket money, so Lu Yang doesn't care as much as before.
He checked his records and found that he had originally accumulated over 60 billion Spirit Stone experience points. After using the [Power of Money] twice in the Ancient Yue Secret Realm, he accumulated another 960 billion Spirit Stone experience points. In addition, he accumulated another 32 billion Spirit Stone experience points by asking questions about Mu Yunxue's memories.
In total, it amounts to approximately 1.6 trillion Spirit Stones of experience.
Lu Yang's current [Tycoon's Confidence] is level 18, and he only needs to spend 80 billion to upgrade directly.
Lu Yang didn't have much to say, and simply clicked "upgrade".
[The Tycoon's Confidence (Level 19): Gain 5120 Mid-Grade Spirit Stones every hour (Money is the Tycoon's Confidence; spending 400 billion Mid-Grade Spirit Stones will upgrade this level)]
Level 19 requires 400 billion Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, but I easily achieved that and leveled up again.
[The Tycoon's Confidence (Level 20): Gain 100 High-Grade Spirit Stones every hour (Money is the Tycoon's Confidence; spending 10 billion High-Grade Spirit Stones will upgrade this level)]
Lu Yang was slightly taken aback when he saw the message, but finally felt a bit of surprise.
Unexpectedly, the "Tycoon's Confidence" is now directly rewarding them with High-Grade Spirit Stones!
Brilliant!
High-Grade Spirit Stones and Mid-Grade Spirit Stones are completely different concepts!
The value of 100 High-Grade Spirit Stones far exceeds that of 10,000 Mid-Grade Spirit Stones!
Lu Yang was satisfied; at least there was some benefit to be had.
Just as Lu Yang was pleasantly surprised, a few more lines of text appeared on the panel.
[The Tycoon's Confidence has increased to level 20; the system has upgraded, and the rewards the host receives will be increased!]
[Host has activated a new system feature: The Tycoon's Shop!]
Um?
Has the system been upgraded?
Then Lu Yang suddenly remembered that when he upgraded [The Tycoon's Confidence] to level 10, the system seemed to have upgraded as well?
So, does this mean that system upgrades are linked to the Tycoon's Confidence]?
At level 10, Lu Yang acquired the skill [Heft of Money], which means he won't die as long as he has Spirit Stones on him.
Of course, although this exclusive skill is very powerful, Lu Yang basically doesn't need to use it.
He had never encountered anything dangerous.
Therefore, this exclusive skill is somewhat useless.
This time, a new module has been opened. Judging from the name, it seems to be a place to buy things. It should be more useful than [the Heft of Money], right?
With anticipation, Lu Yang clicked on the reward's description.
