Lu Yang used the Urban Tycoon System to build wealth, improve his cultivation, and pass the Mid-stage Qi Refining assessment. He joined Profound Metal Peak, advanced his Heavy Sword Technique, and grew closer to Lin Ying while Qin Nanyue joined their outings.
Lu Yang acquired rare treasures at the auction, multiplied his wealth through rebate rewards, and secured five Golden Core puppet bodyguards. After strengthening his Divine Sense and equipment, he prepared to return home for the New Year and received a warm welcome from Qin Nanyue’s family.
Lu Yang brought Lin Ying to the Lin Household for the New Year, where his wealth and powerful protectors astonished her family and his gifts raised her affection to 100. After revealing that he owned Miaoshou Pharmacy, Lu Yang agreed to take Lin Ying’s younger relatives there.
Lu Yang brought Lin Ying to Taibai Market, where he claimed Miaoshou Pharmacy and secured powerful allies before taking Jiang Shiqing as a maid. He returned to the Lu Household with wealth and protection, while Lin Ying began fulfilling her alchemy plan by refining supreme-grade Yellow Dragon Pills.
Lu Yang returned to the sect with Lin Ying and his companions, displayed the power he had gained through Power of Money, and secured a private mountain from Qi Yunshu. As Jiang Shiqing reached full affection and Qin Nanyue grew closer to Lu Yang, he received new rewards and sent Li Ao searching Qin Province for valuable treasures.
Lu Yang strengthened his cultivation and drew closer to Jiang Shiqing, Lin Ying, Qin Nanyue, and Su Jinxuan while the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect planned to expand the mountain’s Spiritual Qi. The arc left Lu Yang with a supreme-grade Spirit Root and a new Search Module, though his plans to contact Li Ao and search beyond the Canglan Realm faced limits.
Lu Yang expanded the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect’s cultivation grounds, helped several people advance, and prepared to travel to Jing Province with Mu Yunxue. Their journey began with an encounter in Ten Thousand Beast Mountain, where five cultivators pursued Ding Ran over a Nine Heavens Golden-Winged Peng egg.
Lu Yang saved Ding Ran, raised the Nine Heavens Golden-Winged Peng egg into Lu Qingtong, and Jiang Shiqing rescued Liu Yaoyao while capturing three Evil Cultivators. At Ten Thousand Beast Mountain, Ye Qianyuan punished the disciples who attacked Ding Ran and ordered Chen Chuanmo punished as well, despite Chen’s denials.
Lu Yang claimed the Nine-Mark Vermilion Flame Fruit, acquired powerful treasures and Sound Transmission Jade Tokens, and advanced to Foundation Establishment. He and Mu Yunxue became dao companions, then returned to the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect aboard the Nine Splendors Cloud Chariot.
Lu Yang strengthened his relationships and prepared his companions while uncovering the Blood Devil Hall’s hidden network and coordinating a campaign against it. He departed for Yellow Province with Qin Nanyue, Jiang Shiqing, and Liu Yaoyao as Zhou Mu operated there under the identity Qingxuan.
Lu Yang uncovered and defeated the Blood Devil Race expert behind the Blood Devil Hall, then destroyed the Heart-Eroding Nether Luo Vine in Mystic Yellow Valley’s alternate space. He returned to Profound Earth Mountain with the captive expert, warned the sects about the remaining Blood Devil Hall members, and resumed cultivating with his companions.
Lu Yang claimed the Myriad Manifestations Merchant Alliance, joined the campaign against the Blood Devil Hall, and returned to the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect with new allies. He assigned Pang Zhao and Xu Youling to hunt Evil Cultivators, recruited Baili Mingyue to strengthen the sect’s defenses, and prepared to visit the Mu Household.
Lu Yang escorted Qin Nanyue home, where her family accepted their relationship, then returned to visit his own family with Mu Yunxue, Liu Yaoyao, and Baili Mingyue. As he helped his family prepare Eastward Prospect Mountain and strengthened his companions through their Beauty Cultivation Plans, Lu Qingtong and Lu Hongdou interrupted his cultivation with a surprise attack.
Lu Yang strengthened the Lu Household and gave his companions rare treasures and cultivation methods before joining the expedition into the Ancient Yue Secret Realm. He concealed his identity for the adventure, dealt with an attack by Junior Brother Yu, and explored while Lin Ying faced an approaching pursuit.
Lin Ying found Golden-Thread Lingzhi and explored a forgotten inheritance with Wenren Yu and Wenren Ge, while Lu Yang and Qin Nanyue uncovered a sealed monster and learned the secret realm’s history. The arc ended with a black pillar erupting ahead, possibly signaling the Yin Sha Heavenly Ghost’s emergence.
Lu Yang killed the Yin Sha Heavenly Ghosts and severed the passage between the Heavenly Azure Realm and the Canglan Realm, then returned with the legacies of six ancient factions. Back at the Lu Household, he sorted the inheritances, made plans to help his companions, and grew closer to Su Jinxuan.
Lu Yang aided the Wenren sisters, strengthened Su Jinxuan and Baili Mingyue with gifts and cultivation plans, and advanced his Formation Dao and cultivation. He gained powerful new traits and unlocked the Palace of the Tycoon, where he created a residence his most devoted companions could enter from afar.
Lu Yang reached the Golden Core Realm, settled Baili Mingyue’s place among his dao companions, and brought his companions to the Crimson Cloud Sect for the Dao of Alchemy Convention. Lin Ying registered to compete while she and Lu Yang spent lavishly shopping in Crimson Cloud City, and Lu Yang began a promised shopping trip with Liu Yaoyao.
