Transmigrated as Investment Banker in Cultivation world

"So delicious," David muttered with an ecstatic expression on his face. He was munching on a pancake that he had bought from the neighboring shop.

Recently, he had become addicted to these pancakes sold by the shop.

In one swift motion, he finished the cake in a single bite and confidently walked through the streets.

The streets were filled with a cacophony of noises. Cultivators dressed pompously were walking through the streets, talking among themselves.

Their faces were bright as they merrily discussed with each other.

"Are you for real?" A slim-built cultivator suddenly stopped and looked at his companion in shock.

"Yeah, the Alchemist himself announced that any cultivator who can give him a branch of the Nine Sun tree, he promised to give a lifetime's supply of pills to that person." His companion looked at the slim cultivator with a proud look in his eyes and explained.

Hearing the conversation, David's ears suddenly twitched, and he focused on the two guys in front.

"Nine-Sun Branch?" David's eyes flashed with interest.

Ever since he got the branch, it had been lying in his inventory collecting dust. Moreover, even Sebastian didn't seem interested in the branch.

"You are lying. The Alchemist would never promise such things," the slim-built cultivator didn't seem to believe his friend's words as he vehemently shook his head to deny all his claims.

"Do you even know who the alchemist is that I am talking about?"

"It's the Great Alchemist Theodore himself who made this announcement. Are you doubting the words of a three-star Alchemist?"

"If word were to reach his ears, you can forget about even getting a single pill from him." The slim-built man's companion spoke with a teasing smile on his face, as if he had gotten hold of the slim-built man's weakness.

"No misunderstanding... I didn't mean that," the slim cultivator shook his head in the air like a fish, his face filled with panic.

His companions only snorted at his actions.

After formation masters, the second most respected people in Nightblade City were alchemists, respected equally by everyone whether weak or strong, rich or poor.

For these people were capable of turning things around when all hope seemed to have been lost.

David turned his gaze away from the duo, and his eyes flashed with a strange light.

"A lifetime supply of pills does not sound so bad!"

Meanwhile, deep inside the Blood Moon forest, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, two youths, one man and one woman, stood in front of a huge cliff.

"Elder Sister, are you sure this is the place?" Roy spoke while scanning his surroundings in confusion.

He could never understand how such a mighty expert like Bloodmoon would come spend his last days to this place when he had all the power and glory in the world. Roy was even having a hard time breathing in a place with such low mana concentration.

He wondered how the people here managed to live.

His elder sister Angelica seemed to have guessed his thoughts and angrily rebuked, "Brother, you have misunderstood. It's not that this place has low concentrations of mana; it's just that you are used to a high concentration of mana."

Angelica looked at her brother, and disappointment flashed through her eyes. She was finally starting to understand why her family was never able to produce another saint like the Green Heaven saint.

They have gotten too comfortable!

Even at this time, she and her brother were surrounded by experts in the Void Refining Realm hiding in the shadows.

After hearing his elder sister's words, the young man seemed to frown and fell deep in thought and didn't say anything else.

Suddenly, the space around the two siblings seemed to shiver, and in the next moment, a middle-aged man with a long beard appeared. His back was slightly hunched downward.

Although the man might look feeble and weak, his cultivation was something which some cultivators in the Nightblade city could not even imagine.

When the eyes of the man landed on the siblings, a gentle smile appeared on his face.

Angelica's face also lit up. She looked at the man with expectations in her eyes and said, "Uncle, were you able to find the Dimensional gate?"

"Yes, Young Master Angelica, it is indeed this place where Blood Moon ancestor took his last breath." The man spoke in a solemn tone, his eyes flashing with admiration. Although the man was powerful, in front of the Bloodmoon Ancestor, he was nothing.

As to why he addressed Angelica as a Young Master even though she was a girl, it was because of the family rules. It didn't matter whether they were male or female; all the heirs to the family were given the title of Young Master.

"Who knew once Roy reached the Peak of Foundation Building Realm, we would receive such good news." Angelica commented while looking at her good brother with a smiling expression on her face.

Maybe this time her family was going to revive the lost glory.

"What do you think?" David said while raising his eyebrows.

Sitting in front of him was Riley White. At this time, she had a serious expression on her face as she considered David's proposal solemnly.

After all, the offer was too tempting. She suddenly licked her lips and sized up David once again.

This guy didn't seem all that bad!

Her gaze caused Dvaid to frown.

His earlier cooperation with women had long ended; now they were here discussing important matters.

Basically, he was asking Riley if she was interested in making some steamy videos.

David still hadn't forgotten about the bank's mission. If he really wanted to take the bank to the top, coffee cups alone weren't going to be enough.

"I still need some time to consider. After all, the decision is going to affect my life." Riley said while looking at David deeply as if she was trying to engrave David's face deep in her mind.

"Don't put me in a difficult position. The best I can do is one month. If you fail to make a decision in this time frame, I will look for someone else." David firmly spoke, not allowing her to waste his time. At one glance, he could tell she was willing to accept it, but she just didn't want to appear too eager.

Or maybe she had other considerations. If she accepted his offer too readily, what would would he think about her nature?

Was she afraid of being judged? David didn't really know.

David felt at least he could give her one month; after all, he was asking her to be a porn star.

Just as David was about to get up and leave, the ground below his feet suddenly started to shake.

However, this was just the start. Before he could even process what was happening, the earth suddenly quaked as if hit by a large asteroid; in the next moment, his body was hit by a powerful shockwave.

"What is happening?" Curious, David rushed out of the place and looked at the sky in shock.

A blood-red pillar of light seemed to pierce the sky; even the clouds had parted ways because of the impact.

David wasn't the only one to witness this strange phenomenon; the eyes of everyone in the Nightblade City were on this huge pillar of light.

Not just of the Nightblade city, at the time, the eyes of all the people in the Blood Moon forest vicinity were on this pillar.

After a few minutes, the pillar disappeared as quickly as it had appeared, as if the sole purpose of its existence was to attract as many eyeballs as possible.

If its purpose really was that, then it had succeeded, as right after the pillar disappeared, the Nightblade city broke out in heated discussion. Find your next read on m_v l|e'm-p| y r

While the cultivators with adventurous spirits were already rushing towards the direction from which the pillar appeared.

Someone even claimed that it was a heavenly phenomenon created by the birth of a supreme treasure.

Of course, as usual, David wasn't interested in this bullshit but silently prayed for more people to be interested in this new phenomenon.

"Okay! See you after one month," David waved his hands and left, leaving Riley White alone.

Just as he had taken the first step, a notification popped up in front of him.

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

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

1 - Extract Client's Crystallion of Life (the head giver, Grade - Uncommon)

2 - Extract Susie's memories from her birth till her death.

3 - Any item that client owned in her lifetime.

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

Please note as 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 almost whistled after reading through the notification.
