Transmigrated as Investment Banker in Cultivation world

"Just this," David muttered in disappointment. His Spiritual Space had barely grown by a hundred meters. From his estimates, when it reached 10 kilometers in length, he would achieve a minor breakthrough in cultivation.

Moreover, barely 10 percent of his mana had transformed into a greyish color. If it continued like this, then it would take too much time.

David needed to think of solutions. Multiple thoughts surged through his head like electricity.

In the next moment, he focused back on reality.

"Ahem! Sebastian, how many pills can you make in one day?" David cleared his throat and asked. Depending on pills was also a

viable option to accelerate his progress.

"To be completely honest, it depends on the number of ingredients I have." Sebastian replied after thinking for a moment. "If I have sufficient ingredients, making ten pills a day should not be an issue."

He could also understand David's interest in the pill.

"Moreover, I was only able to buy ten drops of Luminous Serpent blood, and I have already used three drops," Sebastian lightly said. Luminous Serpent blood was the most important ingredient of the pill; it acted as the base and also as a stabilizing agent.

"Hm! So we need Luminous Serpent blood. Lucky for us, we might be able to find alternatives in the Endless Forest."

David pondered. He had no idea where to find Luminous Serpent, so they could only look for alternatives.

While David and Sebastian were chatting, Mary started to stabilize her cultivation base and meditated.

Some time later, when the sun was directly overhead, David and his group started to move once again.

The solidified magma started heating under sunlight and turned slightly orange in color.

The environment had started to turn extremely harsh. It was no surprise that Dawn and his companions hadn't encountered any living beings on their way.

No sane being dared to come here. Anyone who came here was definitely insane.

When the sun started to move downwards, the conditions marginally improved.

At this time, David and his companions had lost track of how much distance they had covered. After all, the scenery around them had barely changed.

Just endless expanse of red plains as far as eyes could see. Sometimes, David even questioned, whether they were even moving forward.

If it weren't for the concentration of mana in the air that was starting to increase as they moved forward, David would have already started to question reality.

Soon, an outline of trees had started to become visible. David and his group had finally arrived at their destination, and in a couple of minutes, they would be out of the Rising Sun Empire.

The Endless Dark Forest was akin to a huge primordial beast that was deep in slumber.

"Okay, guys, let's rest here for some time," David decided to camp just at the border of the Rising Sun Empire to give ample time to his companions to recover themselves and prepare for the next part of the journey.

"Darling, give me a cup of coffee," at this time, Mary moved closer to David and spoke in a tired voice.

Her skin was like white snow that reflected the dim light of the evening sun, also showing a sort of transparent red flush and gentleness on her.

Her black shining hair hung down unruly and half-covered her cute earlobes.

The cherry pink lips were pursed at the moment as her black eyes were locked onto David's figure.

"All right," David calmly said. At this point, he had accepted her behavior and even found it slightly cute, and that was it.

In the next moment, four cups filled with freshly brewed coffee appeared in front of him, floating silently in the air.

"Everyone come, grab your cup of coffee," David looked at the three of them and uttered in a low voice.

Following his words, a table with two pairs of chairs also appeared.

David sat down on one of the chairs, and Mary and Sebastian joined him. Only Ruby didn't join them and sat down on the ground away from the group.

He didn't say anything to her. However, in the next moment, one of the four cups slowly moved through the air and landed beside her.

After that, he didn't pay any more attention to her.

Ruby also felt the presence of the cup beside her even with her eyes closed. She slowly opened her eyes and looked at the cup with unknown emotions.

David gently cradled the cup of coffee in his hand and asked Sebastian with a thoughtful expression on his face.

"Sebastian, why don't we just fly over the forest?" His question was genuine. Although he wanted the ingredients for the pill, there was no need to take such a risk, right?

Sebastian took a sip and spoke, "Although we can, generally at such a place, traveling through the sky is more dangerous than traveling on land."

"Exactly." Mary also nodded in agreement. She felt extremely relaxed after taking a sip of bitter coffee.

She was starting to wonder, from where did her darling get these things?

Her eyes were flashing with curiosity as she tried to come up with answers, but Mary didn't directly ask him.

If David wanted to tell her, he would have already told her.

After finishing the cup of coffee, both of them left and sat down on the ground and meditated, leaving David alone.

In the next moment, David flicked his wrist, and the yellow egg appeared in his hand.

Without wasting any more time, he started to pour mana inside it.

His slightly blackish mana with a shade of grey mixed in, slowly entered the egg.

This time the speed at which the egg was turning black was slightly faster than before.

"Maybe it is finally going to hatch," David thought joyfully. He felt super excited at the prospect of finally riding a dragon.

Time continued to pass and soon it was the time for sunrise and with it the deadly wave was bound to come. So without further ado.

David and his company started to move.
