Transmigrated as Investment Banker in Cultivation world

Allen moved away from the trio and found a secluded spot beside the lakefront.

"It must be somewhere around here." Allen muttered in a low voice while scanning the lake carefully.

While muttering, he gently brought out a thick sheepskin from his chest pocket and tried to find the location marked on the map.

The location that was marked, definitely led to this lake right in front of him, but where was the treasure.

"Where shadows fall, seek the deep,

Face the sun, and secrets keep.

Thrice-marked stone, beneath the wave,

Treasure lies, in watery cave."

Allen read word by word, the puzzle written at the end of the sheepskin.

But there was no shadow as the sun was still not high up in the sky, he decided to wait till afternoon, then try again.

It might also be fake as this wasn't the only sheepskin map that he found in his ancestral home.

Allen still remembered the feeling when he first got his hands on the sheepskins while cleaning his ancestral property.

But after some time his excitement had gradually died down, as most of them turned out to be fake.

Now that he was here, he might as well try one more time.

David finally woke up, but instead of feeling happy, he frowned hard and lightly massaged his head.

His head was throbbing in pain and he had no idea why.

David decided to take a look at his status report to see if anything had changed and more importantly, find anything that was causing his headache.

He paid the required spirit stones to the bank, and a window popped up in front of him.

[Name- David Well-wisher

Spiritual Space - 1.5 km

Laws - 0

Cultivation- Peak of Body Refining Realm.

Cultivation Technique - Purple Thunder.

Crystallisation of Life-

1 - Bank of Eternal Origin

2 - Domain of Zenith Sovereign

4 - Master Sharpshooter

Remark- This might be your last day in this world, it's advisable to start comprehending laws as soon as possible, if you don't want to blow up like a firecracker.]

David quickly scanned the status window and to his surprise many new things appeared.

His eyes unconsciously narrowed when he read the last line. He knew the bank wouldn't lie about such things and thinking for a moment about it, he also found the reason behind his headache

"Spiritual space."

"1.5km." David muttered in disbelief; this number was too much, from what he knew this shouldn't be possible.

A cultivator at the peak of Foundation Building Realm had Spiritual Space that barely reached a kilometer.

Now he wasn't even a Foundation Building Realm cultivator yet his Spiritual Space had already surpassed a kilometer.

"That was not good." David suddenly felt as if someone had placed a cold dagger on the back of his neck.

He had to understand what laws were really fast.

Otherwise… he didn't even want to imagine the consequences.

At this time, David opened his tightly closed eyes and looked around him with a grim look on his face.

"You are finally awake." Mary, who wasn't far away, noticed his state and hurriedly asked, her voice filled with relief.

Three of them had started to worry, After all now, their fate was inexplicably linked with David.

If anything happened to him…

Seeing the worried look on her face, David realized he might have been unconscious for longer than he had expected.

'How long have I been sleeping for?" David asked while looking around him.

"You guess?" Mary, however, didn't answer him but questioned him in return.

"A day?" David answered, his voice filled with uncertainty

It wasn't difficult for him to guess, when he had decided to absorb the Crystallisation, the sun had already started to make its way downwards.

After making a small talk with Mary, David walked to the side and sat down on the ground cross legged.

He flicked his wrist and the bottle containing the enlightenment pills appeared in his hand.

Without hesitating, he popped one into his mouth and closed his eyes.

Now he will only get up once he has comprehended at least one law.

David silently thought his eyes filled with determination, after all, this was the matter of his life and death.

If the trio were to hear these words even the usually silent Ruby would have started laughing uncontrollably.

Laws weren't something that could be comprehended in a day or two.

While David was preparing to comprehend laws, Sebastian walked closer to Mary and spoke while looking at the sky with a profound gaze.

"Mrs. Mary, you must have felt it, don't you."

Mary didn't seem to have understood his words and looked at him with puzzled expression.

"Mrs. You don't have to pretend we're in the same boat." Sebastian wasn't surprised by her reaction, and said while looking at Ruby.

Sebastian had doubts ever since he had arrived in this world but now all of his doubts were gone.

He was completely sure they were inside the Spiritual Space of a dead expert.

Sebastian was having trouble believing that a Spiritual Space could grow to such an extent.

And by that, he didn't mean its size but the completeness, given the nature of Spiritual Space they grew exponentially along with a cultivator's cultivation but they lacked depth and completeness that was present in naturally evolved worlds.

And the place that he was in almost felt like a real world that had evolved for billions of years.

This was something that made him speechless.

Even at the peak of his power, he could have never thought about such a thing.

However, Mary didn't bother speaking.

After realizing that Mary wouldn't open her mouth, he left.

Mary looked at Sebastian's receding figure, with mixed emotions.

She knew what he wanted to say but talking about it wasn't going to change anything.

"No wonder the people have such a low cultivation here." Mary thought while sighing.

Comprehending laws was already hard and to do the same in an incomplete world like this was even more challenging.

It was nothing more than a miracle that people could even cultivate here.

It was already evening, and David was still on the ground with his eyes closed.

If not for the constant twitching of his eyebrows, people would have thought he was a statue.

Although he had been sitting for so long, he still had no ideas about any laws.

And the Enlightenment pills didn't seem to be helping; he only felt a cooling sensation on his forehead when he ate one and that's it.

"Maybe my time had really come." David couldn't stop himself from having such dark thoughts.
