Courtyard House: The Cultivation System Takes Me Flying

The spirit fields were harvested, and golden spirit rice and tender spirit vegetables filled the system space, exuding a rich spiritual energy and fragrance. According to the system statistics, this harvest yielded 100 jin of spirit rice and 50 jin of spirit vegetables, enough for Qin Lindong to eat for several months. Moreover, the spirit fields could be sown again immediately after harvesting, creating a continuous cycle.

Having resolved the issues of food and cultivation resources, Qin Lindong felt completely at ease. He returned to his room, intending to prepare a sumptuous spiritual feast to reward himself and accelerate his cultivation progress.

He took out 2 jin of spirit rice, 3 jin of spirit vegetables, 2 jin of pork, and 5 eggs. With his divine knife skills, the ingredients were prepared to perfection. The spirit rice was steamed, the spirit vegetables were stir-fried, the pork was braised, and the eggs were used to make soup. The four dishes were a perfect combination of color, aroma, and taste, filled with spiritual energy. The fragrance instantly swept through the entire courtyard.

This time, the aroma was richer, purer, and more enticing than ever before. The fragrance of the spirit rice, the freshness of the spirit vegetables, the richness of the braised pork, and the deliciousness of the egg drop soup intertwined to create an irresistible flavor.

Everyone in the courtyard swallowed hard at the aroma, yet no one dared to covet it. The horrific sight of Jia Zhangshi's crippled fingers was still vivid in their minds; no one wanted to suffer the same fate.

Inside the Jia family's house, the three of them, smelling the delicious aroma, were starving, but could only silently endure it, without even the courage to complain. Jia Zhangshi, overwhelmed by pain in her fingers and filled with remorse, collapsed on the kang (heated brick bed), no longer able to throw a tantrum.

Yan Bugui hid in the house, counting on his fingers, cursing Jia Zhangshi a thousand times in his heart. If Jia Zhangshi hadn't had her fingers crippled for stealing vegetables, he might have had the nerve to beg for food, but now that opportunity was completely gone.

Liu Haizhong stood with his hands behind his back, sighing and groaning, his official demeanor completely gone, and he didn't even have the mood to smell the fragrance.

Yi Zhonghai secluded himself at home, immersed in the pain of his shattered retirement dream, and indifferent to everything in the outside world.

Only He Yuzhu, drawn by the aroma, excitedly ran to Qin Lindong's door, calling out with a smile, "Brother, you've made something delicious again? I'm here!"

Qin Lindong opened the door and smiled as he invited him in: "Perfect timing, it's a good harvest day, let's have some together."

Inside the room, four dishes were laid out on the table, filled with spiritual energy and emitting a fragrant aroma. He Yuzhu stared at them, his mouth watering.

"Brother, your skills are unmatched, even by a god!" He Yuzhu exclaimed sincerely.

The two sat down and began to eat. Qin Lindong picked up his bowl and chopsticks and savored the spiritual food he had prepared. The spiritual rice was soft and sticky, the spiritual vegetables were fresh and tender, the braised pork was flavorful, and the egg soup was delicious. Every bite contained a gentle spiritual energy that melted in his stomach and nourished his body.

[Ding! Host has consumed a perfect-grade spiritual food and absorbed a large amount of spiritual energy!]

[Body Tempering Realm Level 3 progress +25%, currently 100%!]

[Congratulations, host, you have broken through your realm! Body Tempering Realm, Level 4!]

Stamina +10, current stamina 80!

[Iron Shirt Technique upgraded to Proficiency Level! Defense greatly increased!]

A surge of powerful spiritual energy erupted within him, instantly breaking through his cultivation level to the fourth level of the Body Tempering Realm. His strength, defense, and perception all improved dramatically, and his physical body reached a new level of power. He was now a master of Iron Shirt, capable of withstanding even gunfire bullets, and ordinary weapons could no longer harm him in the slightest.

Just by eating one spiritual food, one can break through a level of cultivation. That's the terrifying thing about spiritual food!

Qin Lin was overjoyed and continued eating, absorbing spiritual energy steadily and solidly.

He Yuzhu wolfed down his food, his mouth greasy, exclaiming between bites, "This is so delicious! Brother, I've never eaten such a good meal in my life. Following you is pure bliss!"

After finishing the meal, He Yuzhu was so full he kept burping, but he was completely satisfied and became even more devoted to Qin Lindong.

After seeing He Yuzhu off, Qin Lindong returned to his room, sat cross-legged, and began to digest the cultivation he had just broken through.

[Ding! Cultivation stabilization complete!]

Current Realm: Body Tempering Realm, Level 4 (10%)

[Stamina: 80]

【Mental Power: 20】

System Points: 2860

With his realm stabilized and his strength greatly increased, Qin Lindong stood up, feeling the surging power within his body, and his heart was at peace.

A bountiful harvest of spirit rice allowed me to break through a cultivation level with just one meal—this was the incredible benefit brought by the system.

From now on, there will be no more bottlenecks on his path of cultivation. As long as he continues to consume spiritual food and cultivate spiritual fields, his cultivation level will soar, and longevity will no longer be a dream.

The chaos and disorder in the courtyard house could no longer affect him in the slightest.

His gaze had already been set on a wider world.

The courtyard house was merely the starting point of his journey to defy fate!
