After being reborn, I took my childhood sweetheart to cultivate immortality.

Yu Jinchen held Xu Qingman's hand tightly, silently repeating in his heart, "I want to go in."

In the blink of an eye, the two of them were standing steadily in front of a magnificent palace.

The palace is surrounded by rolling mountains that stretch as far as the eye can see.

Xu Qingman looked at all this with excitement. It really was a space! Moreover, she felt that the spiritual energy here was even more concentrated than that in the space of the little stone.

The spiritual energy was so abundant that there was no need to circulate cultivation techniques; it would automatically seep into the body. Could Yu Jinchen be the biological son of this Heavenly Dao? Otherwise, how could he possess such abundant fortune?

When she came to her senses, he was chatting happily with a little boy in a red dress with a pigtail sticking up in the air.

Seeing her look over, he took her hand and said gently, "Slowly, Xiaoqing will have to sign a contract with you later, so that you can share this space with me."

Xu Qingman looked at him in surprise, "Huh? This is yours, how could I...?"

"Don't move. What's mine is yours. We're not distinguished by who's mine or who's yours. Okay, close your eyes and let Xiaoqing sign the contract with you."

Xiaoqing is the red-clad boy from earlier; he is the spirit of this space.

Without time to think further, Xu Qingman had no choice but to close her eyes and clear her mind.

She only felt that after he took her hand, another small hand covered it. In an instant, she heard the little boy named Xiaoqing say, "It's done."

As soon as she opened her eyes, she felt an inseparable connection between herself and this space, and with Yu Jinchen.

This space is completely different from the one Xiao Shitou entered. Although Xiao Shitou's space is inside her, she is actually just a vessel and does not fully possess it.

Moreover, as soon as Little Stone is born, he will be the master of that space. Xu Qingman needs Little Stone's consent to enter.

"My lords, please follow me. There are many wonderful things inside." With that, Xiaoqing took the lead and walked into the palace.

The two followed him into a large room on the left side of the palace. He proudly pointed to a small pool shrouded in mist, "Look, this is the Immortal Spring Pool. The water in it was brought from an immortal spring by the previous master."

"This water can not only help you improve your cultivation, but it can also be used to heal injuries. Even if your divine sense is damaged, just a small sip can completely restore it. It is a treasure that even people in the God Realm want to fight over."

Yu Jinchen was overjoyed. "Really? That's great! The spiritual energy here is abundant. Why don't we raise our cultivation level first before going out? It will definitely be much safer that way."

"Uh, but Jinchen, I have to go to school the day after tomorrow. It will be almost dark when we get to the island. Will we not have enough time?"

"Master, it's alright. Time flows differently here than outside. One year here is only one day outside. You can cultivate first and then go out."

Yu Jinchen was startled. "Ah, doesn't that mean we'll be inside for decades, and our lives will be almost over?"

Hahaha…

Xu Qingman and Xiaoqing laughed when they heard this. After they finished laughing, they told him that although the flow of time was different, it had no effect on their masters. Their lifespan was calculated according to the outside time.

Yu Jinchen then realized that this space was truly a super treasure, worthy of being an ancient artifact from the realm of gods.

Following Xiaoqing's advice, each person drank about two ounces of the immortal spring water over the next two days and began their cultivation.

In cultivation, time knows no bounds. When Xu Qingman opened her eyes, Xiao Qing told her that more than two months had passed in the spatial realm. That's so long! No wonder her cultivation level had reached the mid-Foundation Establishment stage so quickly.

However, Yu Jinchen had not yet finished his cultivation. Xu Qingman observed his cultivation level and found that he had actually reached the critical point of Foundation Establishment. As expected of someone with a single spiritual root, his cultivation speed was much faster than hers.

You should know that she had already reached the critical point of the middle stage of Foundation Establishment. Reaching the middle stage here in two months is much faster than in the space of Little Stone.

It should be noted that it took her more than half a month to go from the tenth level of Qi Refining to successfully establishing her foundation. Considering the spatial flow rate of the small stone, it would have taken far more than two months.

Moreover, the required spiritual energy increases exponentially with each level you ascend.

Seeing that Yu Jinchen was still cultivating, Xu Qingman strolled around the space leisurely by herself.

The palace was divided into several parts, including the Pill Hall, which was used specifically for alchemy. Inside, there were countless pill formulas and several pill furnaces engraved with ancient runes, which Xiaoqing said were engraved with formations.

There are talisman halls, array halls, weapon forging halls, and so on. The array hall is full of books and materials on arrays; I'll study them later.

There are also the Herb Garden and the Fruit Garden, as their names suggest. The Herb Garden is filled with medicinal herbs, while the Fruit Garden is planted with various kinds of spiritual fruits.

What amazed Xu Qingman the most was the towering tree at the very back of the palace, with several crystal-clear fruits hanging from its branches.

Xiaoqing told her that it was the Tree of Life, and the fruit hanging on it was called the Fruit of Life. It blossoms every five hundred years, bears fruit every five hundred years, and matures every five hundred years. Moreover, each time it bears only eighteen fruits.

That means she'd have to wait 1,500 years for the fruit to ripen. Luckily, the spatial flow is different; otherwise, she doesn't know if she'd ever see it mature.

However, precisely because it is so rare, the fruit is an even more precious treasure.

Eating one of these pills can extend one's lifespan by five hundred years.

Xu Qingman is no longer a novice in cultivation. She has figured it out: Qi Refining stage cultivators can live for two hundred years, while Foundation Establishment stage cultivators can live for an additional five hundred years.

In other words, if she couldn't reach the Golden Core stage before she turned seven hundred, she would only be waiting to die. But now that she has the Fruit of Life, she can have another five hundred years to cultivate.

Moreover, the Fruit of Life can even allow mortals without spiritual roots to develop them. If cultivators were to find out about this, it would surely cause a bloodbath.

She had heard Little Stone talk a lot about his experiences in the cultivation world, including about a spiritual fruit called the Longevity Fruit, which could only extend one's life by twenty years. Many people went to great lengths to find it and were willing to pay high prices to buy it.

If people knew about the existence of the Fruit of Life, Xu Qingman shuddered; the consequences would be terrifying.

She had originally planned to visit the nearby mountains, but Xiaoqing wouldn't let her go. She said there were many high-level spirit beasts on the mountains, and she couldn't control them yet; she would have to wait until she reached the Golden Core stage.

With their current cultivation levels, they can only stay inside the palace.

Having nothing else to do, Xu Qingman had to start cultivating again after she had finished exploring, which was a good opportunity to consolidate her cultivation level.

About half a month later, Yu Jinchen finished his cultivation and became a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

He looked at Xu Qingman excitedly, thinking that he could finally fight alongside her, and he wouldn't hold her back anymore. Being protected by his girlfriend really wasn't a good feeling.

Now that he had successfully established his foundation, the two decided to go out and explore, as the newly emerged secret realm must have many good things.

The two tied their hands together again and then flashed out of the space.
