Transmigrated as Investment Banker in Cultivation world

He clearly remembered that he only invested in her.

Moreover, he had never gotten any notification before about his investment going down the drain.

And that\'s why David had assumed the loss recovery option only popped up when the loanee died.

On second thought, he must have misunderstood, as none of the people that he had invested in had died.

If things were the same for both loan and investment, then...

At this thought, David\'s eyes flashed with a dangerous glint.

Now that the confusion cleared in his head, David found himself in a dilemma.

He didn\'t know which option to choose.

Although he was attracted by her Crystallization of Life, if he did this, she might get nothing in her next life, maybe even born as someone without Crystallization of Life.

Well, fuck it!

He wasn\'t a saint anyways.

After telling his group to stop for a moment, he found a suitable place to lie down and chose the first option.

Sebastian and the other two girls didn\'t say anything. They had gotten used to his strange behavior.

After choosing the first option, David fell asleep.

In the next moment, David felt like he was a bird in the sky going wherever the wind took him.

But suddenly, a white light hit him, and after that, he learned how to glide, using the flow of air to his advantage.

While David dreamed about being a bird flying high in the sky, inside his Spiritual Space, the Yin and Yang symbols churned, pouring huge quantities of mana inside.

At this time, a strange grayish-colored ball appeared in front of the symbol and merged with it.

However, unlike the previous times, this time the Crystallization didn\'t disappear but actively resisted the symbol\'s devouring power.

In the next moment, the symbol changed. It was no longer a Yin and Yang symbol anymore but something else entirely.

It started to look more like a Triskele. However, the change only lasted for a moment when suddenly the symbol collapsed and returned to its previous appearance.

The new Crystallization of Life wasn\'t able to resist in the end.

It would have been quite interesting to see what would have happened if the symbol had successfully formed.

When David woke up, it was already evening.

However, what greeted him was a strange scene.

Three shady-looking men with weapons in their hands were threatening Mary and the others.

They weren\'t even that strong either. From what David could tell, the strongest of them, dressed in a loose robe, was at the initial stage of the Foundation Building Realm.

At this time, Mary\'s pupils suddenly turned white, and she looked at the three of them with a playful look in her eyes.

"Ah! Dare to cause trouble for this young maiden."

"How should I punish you?" Mary said with a hand on her hip.

In the next moment, her eyes shone.

"That will do." Mary gently said with a smile on her face.

Following her words, the three men got down on all fours and started to act like dogs, barking at each other as if they were each other\'s biggest enemies.

Woof! Woof!

Their eyes filled with madness. Just then, the loose-robed man suddenly moved and ripped apart the necks of his companions with his mouth.

Blood poured out, painting the ground crimson red.

"What the hell is wrong with you people?" David couldn\'t help but yell in his head. If she really wanted to kill them, she could have just done it normally.

Was there really a need to go to such lengths?

On the other hand, Sebastian and Ruby didn\'t care.

Sebastian even seemed to be a little dissatisfied.

"Manager, you finally woke up." Sebastian sighed once he noticed David had woken up.

Time continued to pass, and soon two months had passed in the blink of an eye.

In these two months, David\'s group was attacked by bandits several times.

At this point, he was fed up with them.

And that wasn\'t the only thing that happened. One month ago, Ruby and Sebastian broke through to the Foundation Building Realm, thereby pushing David closer to the next realm.

Their Heavenly Tribulation was extremely strange and powerful.

David had a feeling he could break through to the Foundation Building Realm anytime.

But he resisted. First, he had to find a safe place, then he would break through.

The forest around them had completely disappeared with no signs of any trees around David\'s group.

David found himself in a plain area stretching as far as he could see.

The land beneath his feet was barren, looking like magma that had cooled off. It was completely devoid of any greenery except a few shrubs that grew here and there.

After walking for some time, a huge wall that seemed to stretch endlessly started to become visible.

"The Crimson Wall." David muttered in a low voice.

This wall acted as the border between the Blackthorn Empire and the Rising Sun Empire.

"10,000 spirit stones per person." A guard dressed in black clothes with a symbol of the sun embroidered on his chest lazily said.

David paid 40,000 spirit stones without saying anything.

After confirming the quantity, the guard turned his head away from David\'s group and said in a low voice.

"Next."

"Master, where are we going next?" Mary asked with a cute expression on her face.

David didn\'t answer her question, but he already had a destination in his mind.

Right now, he was busy looking at his surroundings.

Behind the wall was a huge market selling all sorts of things.

Rows upon rows of stalls neatly arranged in a grid pattern allowed customers to easily move through the busy market.

"Mother, look here! I found an alien that the teacher taught us about yesterday."

At this time, a girl barely ten years old pointed her finger at David and spoke with shining eyes.

After hearing the girl\'s words, her mother\'s face turned red like a tomato.
