Transmigrated as Investment Banker in Cultivation world

Chapter 43: Mary's Insight

At this time, Mary's clothes were completely soaked with water, tightly clinging to her curvaceous body. Along with her beautiful face that could melt the heart of any man, she looked extremely charming.

David felt lost for a moment and nodded his head. He browsed the bank's shop to find anything useful. After scrolling for some time, he managed to find a black one-piece dress.

Without thinking too much, he bought the dress. It barely cost 100 low-grade spiritual stones, nothing to worry about.

The next moment, the dress appeared in his hands. David wordlessly handed it to her.

"Master, what kind of dress is this?" Mary looked at the dress in amazement. She had never seen such a strange type of fabric.

"Stop asking questions and just change your clothes," David said in annoyance while shaking his head.

He just wanted to enjoy his morning coffee in peace.

"Ara! Master, you want me to change my clothes in the open?" Mary looked at David with a thoughtful expression on her face.

"No!" David uttered a single word without even looking at her.

"Who would want to look at an old geezer?"

Suddenly, Mary looked at him with narrowed eyes that had a dangerous glint in them.

"Master! Did you curse me in your head?"

However, David didn't answer her question. Instead, he flicked his hand one more time, and a slightly bigger wooden table appeared on the ground.

"Shoo! Shoo! Change your clothes behind it and don't bother me."

Mary didn't say anything further and walked behind the table.

While Mary was changing her clothes, another girl with vermillion red hair also walked out of the lake. Her face was still cold as ice.

David looked at her, and just as he was about to buy another dress for her, something unexpected happened.

Ruby's body started to glow as if she was on fire, and slowly, the water on her body rose in the form of steam and disappeared.

"Hey, Ruby, come here, have a cup of coffee," David called out to her while still holding his cup.

But Ruby reacted as if she didn't hear David's words and sat down on the ground.

"What is wrong with this girl?" David looked at her incredulously. Was the old saying really true? People tend to become childish as they grow old.

Not in the mood to deal with her, he just ignored her and continued to sip his coffee silently.

Sometimes he even forgot her existence.

While David was busy thinking, Mary arrived after changing her clothes.

She looked devastatingly beautiful in the black dress. It fitted her perfectly, and she

seemed to like it as well, indicated by the happy smile on her face.

She sat down on the empty chair beside David and looked at him with a tinge of expectation in her eyes.

"When will you break through to the Foundation Building Realm?" David passed her a cup of coffee and asked her something that he was curious about.

Mary looked at him while raising her eyebrows.

"Breakthrough to the Foundation Building Realm is an easy task if you have enough resources," Mary spoke while taking a look at the coffee that was placed in front of her.

David looked at her and wanted her to continue.

Although he had gotten some information from Bryan's memories, it wasn't credible.

Mary understood his thoughts, smiled with understanding, and started to explain patiently.

"You might know it already, but let me repeat it. Foundation Building is one of the most important realms."

"Because it is in this realm that a cultivator starts to cultivate his spiritual space."

David patiently listened and reviewed the information that he received from Bryan.

Opening the spiritual space and expanding it with the help of resources, while at the same time adding laws to stabilize it.

Laws acted like pillars that prevented spiritual space from collapsing due to its own weight.

But David was confused as to what the laws were. Even Bryan didn't have any ideas about them.

So David voiced his question.

"Ah! That's a tricky question." Mary smiled after hearing his question. She was expecting such a question from the start.

"If you ask me, I can see them all around myself."

"In the sun in the sky."

"In this lake."

Mary pointed at the sky and the lake beside them as she calmly said, "Everything around us follows a set of rules to sustain themselves. If they don't, they will disappear."

David looked at the sky and around him. He could see no laws in them.

"Don't be discouraged, take some time to understand." Mary encouraged him with a smiling face.

He didn't comment on her words and silently watched the lake's surface.

David wasn't completely stupid; he could understand some things.

Like the fact that no matter how wealthy a mortal was, he would die of old age.

This was also a law. So, in simple words, the laws were eternal and were followed without exception across time and space.

But how to use them to break through to the Foundation Building Realm, he had no idea.

While David was pondering, Mary took a light sip, and instantly, an intoxicated expression appeared on her face.

The world around her became even clearer and started to rush toward her.

Mary's eyes flashed with disbelief.

The speed at which mana was entering her body was insane.

If this continued like this, she would be able to break through.

She hurriedly sat down in a cross-legged position and closed her eyes.

David curiously looked at her but didn't say anything. He could feel the mana from the surroundings rushing inside her body.

"Ahh! This is the gate." Mary looked at the gate her eyes filled with nostalgia.

She appeared in front of a huge gate made from dark blood-colored iron. After the passage of time, she had completely forgotten about its appearance.

Standing in front of the gate, she looked extremely small like an ant standing in front of a elephant.

"Okay! Let's not waste time and quickly break through," Mary seriously said and started to focus.

Breaking through wasn't a big deal for her. In her long life, she had personally guided countless people in their breakthroughs when she was young.
