Chapter 1 Seacliff City Travelers

Seacliff City is a seaport city in the Central Plains southeast part.

Similar to all the developed towns in the Nine Provinces cultivation world, the development of Seacliff City cannot be separated from the help of its advantageous geographical location.

The existence of natural deep-water ports and the development of shipping routes have brought about the rise of trade, allowing commodities from the Central Plains continent to pass through the Seacliff City port, cross the oceans and seas, and sell to the remaining eight continents.

Although the cultivator of Nine Provinces cultivation world has the ability to connect to heaven penetrating the earth, even the cultivator is impossible to waste Spiritual Qi in vain, doing trade and other secular business affairs, Seacliff City's The traditional trade route, after a long period of development, has become an indispensable flow channel for foreign objects in Central Plains. But in winter, even the bustling Seacliff City is inevitably deserted.

Although this port city has a relatively mild climate and has a natural ice-free port, the whole city is still covered with thick snow during the coldest time of the year, even the cornices in the city. The traditional oriental architecture of Dougong was also temporarily obscured by the wind and snow. Except for a few restaurants, restaurants and feasting places, the streets of Seacliff City are rarely traced by pedestrians.

But in the blizzard, a thin young man was trudging hard on the snow-covered road.

His name is Yang Lu and he is a transmigrator.

Different from the transmigrators who are overwhelming majority with hopeless lives, Yang Lu has no intention of transmigrating at all.

He was born in a poor family and was admitted to Shuimu University by his excellent academic performance. After graduating from Shuimu University, he began to intern in the monetary policy research department of the central bank, making meeting minutes for the big names in charge of the country's financial lifeline.

It is by virtue of this valuable internship experience that he has a strong presence in front of these top financial circles.

Through the recommendation letter issued by the central bank boss, he quickly got the offer of the famous private equity fund "low-collar capital". With the help of this opportunity that financial practitioners can meet but cannot ask for, he has realized the ascending to the skies with a single leap.

After working in low-capital capital for two years, for better development opportunities, he directly jumped to another patriarch to be a private equity fund in the Level 2 market, Thousand Transformations Capital, and became a real fund manager.

With his strong professional knowledge, Yang Lu has quickly become an Internet celebrity in private equity funds, and the scale of assets under management has skyrocketed like a rocket.

Just when Yang Lu was about to show off his skills, set foot on the Peak of his life and marry Ms Perfect, an accident happened!

During an unremarkable outing in the wild, he suddenly encountered a super thunderstorm of unbelievable scale, and in the thunderstorm, the unfathomable mystery fainted, waiting for him again When I woke up, I found myself in another world!

Only later did he know that this world is called the Nine Provinces cultivation world, which belongs to the Xianxia World of the cultivator!

Legend has it that cultivators have the ability to Up Into the Heavens, Down into the Earth, and some cultivators with superb mana can even have life essence for thousands of years.

Not only that, in the past 500 years, there have been three immortals who have ascended Heaven Realm in the Nine Provinces cultivation world, reaching the legendary high realm with the same lifespan as Heaven and Earth. .

When I first heard the news, Yang Lu was very excited. After all, no matter how successful Earth people are, they are at best a billionaire. How can I mention this with a cultivator of life as long as heaven. equal terms?

But soon, the cruel reality poured cold water on him.

Unlike the transmigrator in the online novel, Yang Lu didn't get any cheats when he traveled through it. He seemed to be a self who lived in a cultivation parallel universe.

A memory belonging to "Seacliff City Yang Lu" appeared out of thin air in his mind. This "Seacliff City Yang Lu" and "Earth Yang Lu" look almost exactly the same, but they are a little younger. , as if he lived two lives in two worlds at the same time.

If Earth's memory was not too clear, he even thought that Earth's life was just a dream of his Nanke.

Compared to the life of "Earth Yang Lu", the life of "Seacliff City Yang Lu" is definitely to open high and walk low.

"Seacliff City Yang Lu" was born into a wealthy family in Seacliff City, where both parents were employees of the Seacliff Chamber of Commerce. When he was 12 years old, his parents were attacked by monster beast during an overseas voyage. "Seacliff City Yang Lu", who lost both parents, got a reluctant job in a pub in Seacliff City by relying on the relationship between his parents during his lifetime. .

But not long ago, "Seacliff City Yang Lu" rescued a hapless man who had offended a cultivator out of sympathy, and was fired by the tavern Boss for "nosy" , completely lost the source of income.

It is a great luck that such a homeless person did not starve to death!

Speaking of which, Yang Lu really wants to thank this cultivation world.

The cultivator of this cultivation world, in addition to the usual daily cultivation, also has an important activity - cultivating merit!

By doing charitable acts such as alms food, cultivators can gain Heavenly Dao merits, which can speed up their cultivation progress, so people rarely starve to death in the cultivation world. "Seacliff City Yang Lu" found a shelter run by a cultivator to avoid the tragedy of while out on the road lie the frozen bones of the poor.

But cultivators open shelters just to make merits for themselves, not for homeless people to enjoy life, so one can imagine the level of food that cultivators provide to homeless people!

"Seacliff City Yang Lu" certainly wanted to change his destiny, so he also tried to go out and find a job again.

However, during a snow trip, because of the cold and hunger, "Seacliff City Yang Lu" fainted. When he woke up again, "Earth Yang Lu" posed Skinny Seacliff City youth.

Unlike "Seacliff City Yang Lu" who can endure the life of starvation and cold, Yang Lu, who was born in Earth, couldn't bear it for a minute while eating pig food in a homeless shelter.

After realizing his disadvantage, Earth Yang Lu quickly calmed down and began to sort out the memory of "Seacliff City Yang Lu".

By sorting out the memory of the previous owner, Yang Lu finally found an opportunity to change his destiny.

This time he braved the wind and snow to go out, just for this!

After trekking in the snow for more than half an hour, Yang Lu's body was a little overwhelmed. After all, before he went out this time, he didn't even eat the inferior expired food from the shelter, and his physical condition was very unsatisfactory. .

Fortunately, he was already not far from his destination.

After walking around an alley again, a brightly lit building appeared in front of him.

Unlike most of the houses in Seacliff City, where most of the houses are closed and look extremely depressing, this oriental loft-style building is already overcrowded, and there are a large number of wooden tables and chairs in the spacious hall. All wooden tables and chairs are surrounded by customers, and there is even a constant temperature fairy array built inside the building, which isolates the inside and outside of the house into two completely different worlds, warm and cold.

This building is the pub where "Seacliff City Yang Lu" once worked, and is also the private property of the Pan Family, the richest man in Central Plains.

This Pan Family is not an ordinary business family. It is said that 500 years ago, the Pan Family old shopkeeper had been personally mentioned by Lu Yang, the first president of [Spirit Stone Reserve Bank], and had Countless profiteering monopoly industries.

This shop called a tavern is said to have originated from the whimsy of President Lu Yang.

Because of the relationship with the Legendary cultivator, from the cultivation world to the Nascent Soul Realm Great Cultivator, down to the ordinary mortal merchants and pawns, there is a popular social fashion in the tavern to pass the leisure time.

Looking into the tavern, Yang Lu stomped his feet to dissipate some of the chill, and then found a leeward corner and curled up.
