Transmigrated as Investment Banker in Cultivation world

Chapter 180: Void Refining Realm

This was terrible news, but anyway, he was still far away from the Saint realm. From the information he had gathered, Saint wasn't actually real, but it was a state where cultivators became one with the world using the world core.

Once the cultivator merged with the world core, the world was them and they were the world; they became an almost invincible existence in that world.

But cultivators who became saints were highly ambitious individuals. After enjoying a period of unprecedented fame and glory, they would leave the world, giving the chance to younger generations to achieve the same feat.

However, there were always exceptions like this little fucker Green Heaven who took the world core with him, thereby cutting the path of future generations.

Cultivators like him deserved to die a thousand times.

David's eyes flashed with righteous anger; of course, he was just pretending. He didn't give a shit about all of this.

Fuck this world and fuck the Green Heaven saint - he didn't care about any of them.

But he had to act in front of Victoria. What if she suddenly got angry and slapped him to death?

After chatting for some time, the Alchemist Theodore and his immortal wife Victoria finally left, leaving their daughter behind.

While leaving, Victoria repeatedly warned David to be extra careful. It appeared she was really worried for him.

Once they left the bank's premises, David didn't follow them with his Divine sense. His eyes landed on the white-haired Claire who was looking at his face.

"Didn't I tell you, I have no intention of marrying you?"

"Why didn't you leave with your parents?"

He looked at her deeply and rapidly fired questions one after the other.

"How can I leave now? My father has already promised to marry me to the cultivator who can help him." After saying those words, she looked at David deep in the eyes, as if she was searching for something in them.

Suddenly, she sighed and continued.

"If I leave now, what would everyone think of my father? And don't tell me you weren't aware of it."

David still wanted to retort but was left tongue-tied in the end.

What she said was true, but he had never expected the girl to be so stubborn.

Fine! Do whatever you want to do!

In the end, David sighed and gave up arguing with her. Anyway, he had more important things to do, for example, sipping a cup of espresso coffee.

David ignored her and bought a coffee for himself. Just as he was about to relax, the gate of one of the rooms behind him flung open and a redhead walked toward him with a confused expression on her face.

"Why can't I challenge you?" Ruby immediately asked.

Ruby had finally reached the very perfection of Golden Core Realm today. Still dissatisfied with her previous loss, she believed now she would not be easily defeated.

However, when she tried to challenge David, she couldn't find him. His name had disappeared from the Golden Core ranking.

It had never crossed her mind that David might have broken through and achieved Nascent Soul Realm.

David was confused for a moment after hearing her words, wondering what she was talking about.

The next moment, however, his eyes flashed with understanding, and the look in his eyes turned a little playful.

"Maybe because we aren't in the same league," David said mysteriously, not directly answering her question.

Ruby's expression froze when she heard his words, but in the next moment, a resolute look flashed in her eyes.

Seeing her expression, David suddenly wanted to laugh out loud, but he managed to stop himself in the end.

Watching her receding figure, David sighed. She would never be able to catch up with him. As time passed, the people he invested in would grow larger and larger, and as a result, his cultivation speed would also increase exponentially.

"Who was she?" Claire, who had silently watched this interaction all this time, suddenly asked.

"You guess?" David didn't answer her question but asked one of his own.

"Don't tell me!" Claire seemed to have come to a conclusion of her own and shouted in a loud voice, her beautiful eyes widening in disbelief.

David looked at her exaggerated reaction with a small smile on his face.

...

Time continued to flow like water; in the blink of an eye, three years passed. Without realizing it, David was thirty years old today.

Sitting on the first floor, he was sipping coffee and looking at the status report with a proud look in his eyes.

Two years ago, he had successfully broken through, but sadly his Crystallization of Life didn't seem to grow.

After taking another look at the window, David closed it.

These past three years had passed peacefully with banks witnessing explosive growth, and the number of people he had invested in grew by hundreds of times.

Every day he received feedback from tens of people when they broke through, pushing his cultivation to a higher realm.

It wouldn't be long before he would finally be at the peak of Void Refining Realm.

David's eyes flashed with anticipation at that thought.

The next moment, his Divine sense covered the entire city in an instant; the whole city was under his watch.

In his vision, tens of auras appeared, glowing like the sun. These people were most likely Void Refining Realm experts quietly hidden in the city.

Some of these auras were even stronger than David.

He became even more wary after realizing this - the water in the Nightblade city ran deeper than he expected.

Before he could continue to explore, he was hit by a familiar notification.

[Regretfully! You lost one of your clients today. However, the Bank of Eternal Origin can never suffer a loss.

Even if he died, the client will have to pay back somehow; therefore, his soul was captured. You now have the following options; keep in mind that you can only choose one:

1 - Extract Client's Crystallization of Life (The Architect, Grade - Uncommon)

2 - Extract Ashford Augustus's memories from his birth till his death

3 - Any item that client owned in his lifetime

4 - Do Nothing, let the compound interest do its thing and decide again when the Client dies in his next life

Please note that capturing the soul and imprisoning it requires a large amount of mana, because of which you only have two hours left to make a choice.]

David's eyes closed with surprise; it was an old acquaintance from the Pandora world who had died.

Before making his decision, David pondered for a moment.

The Crystallization of Life wasn't that attractive, and David was also interested in Ashford's memories as the guy had always given him a mysterious feeling, as if he was covered in a thick layer of fog.

Then his eyes landed on the third option, and immediately a window displaying the names of three items appeared in front of him.

[You can choose any one item from the following:

1 - Ten thousand years Old Spiritual Essence

2 - Nine Nether Flower

3 - Five Symbols Heavenly Sword]

Each name on the list sounded grander than the other. After looking at these items, David became even more confused.

Strangely, he was attracted by the ten thousand years old Spiritual Essence; he had felt this thing would increase his strength.

The other two items were also great, but he was attracted by this essence the most.

Memories or Essence?

Fuck it! After thinking for a moment, David chose the ten thousand years old Spiritual Essence.

Immediately, he was notified by the bank that the essence had been deposited in his inventory.

Just as he was about to take a look at it, he suddenly stopped and looked toward the ceiling in confusion.

David felt an extremely familiar aura from outside the city. Immediately, he focused in that direction, and an extremely interesting scene appeared in front of him.

Outside the city walls, deep inside the Blood Moon forest, a master and disciple pair were being chased by huge flashing monsters.

Harry wanted to cry, but no tears came out of his eyes.

Ever since he had left the Alchemist castle those days three years ago, his life had been miserable.
