Courtyard House: The Cultivation System Takes Me Flying

After breaking through to the fourth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm, Qin Lindong's aura became increasingly gentle and reserved. He looked no different from an ordinary young man, but only those who came into close contact with him could feel his unfathomable and terrifying inner strength.

His crystal-clear battle body was as smooth as jade, moving silently and with impeccable control over his power. Even a light step on the ground would leave no trace. His spiritual sense covered three thousand miles, and no movement could escape his perception. The entire capital city and even the surrounding area were under his watchful eye.

The next morning, just as dawn was breaking, the first rays of sunlight shone on the courtyard house.

Qin Lindong got up early and went to the edge of the spirit field. After absorbing spiritual energy overnight, the top-grade spirit field was shrouded in spiritual energy, almost turning into a light mist. The fifth-grade spirit grain was golden yellow, with the rice ears drooping, and every grain of rice exuding pure energy fluctuations.

With the buff of the nascent cave heaven, the spiritual field evolved at a much faster pace than before, and a system notification sounded.

[Ding! The spirit field has been nourished by the aura of the cave, and its quality has improved dramatically!]

[The fifth-tier spirit valley has completed its evolution and upgraded to a sixth-tier spirit valley!]

[Sixth-Tier Spirit Valley Effects: Increases spiritual energy purity by 200%, doubles cultivation speed after consumption, and long-term consumption can cleanse the marrow and meridians, even extending lifespan for mortals!]

With a flash of golden light, the spirit grains in the spirit field instantly transformed.

The originally golden ears of grain became even more dazzling, with a faint hint of purple. The grains were fuller, and the spiritual energy in the air was so thick that it was almost viscous. It slowly condensed and turned into drops of crystal clear liquid, which fell into the spiritual field.

Spiritual energy liquefies!

This is an extraordinary phenomenon that can only occur in truly blessed and secluded places!

Qin Lin scanned the area with his spiritual sense, a hint of satisfaction appearing on his face. The sixth-order spirit valley was far more wondrous than the fifth-order one; not only did its spiritual energy purity surge, but it could also spontaneously condense spiritual liquid to irrigate the spirit fields, creating a virtuous cycle.

"Manager Lin, this...this is immortal rice!"

He Yuzhu appeared behind him unnoticed, staring wide-eyed at the spirit field in utter shock. The rich spiritual energy he inhaled made him feel refreshed and invigorated.

"It's just ordinary grains," Qin Lindong said with a faint smile.

In his view, even the highest-grade spirit grains were merely cultivation resources, nothing to be surprised about. But in the eyes of He Yuzhu and the others, these were undoubtedly celestial food and divine rice.

Before long, the neighbors got up and saw the strange phenomenon in the spirit field. They were all dumbfounded and their awe deepened.

"The spiritual energy has all turned into water droplets... This courtyard has truly become a fairyland!"

"Following Manager Lin, we're truly blessed!"

Yan Bugui, Liu Haizhong, and the others sighed repeatedly, their eyes filled with relief. If it weren't for Qin Lindong presiding over the courtyard, they would never have witnessed such a miraculous sight in their entire lives.

The four members of the Jia family stood at a distance, not daring to approach, and could only watch from afar. Under the long-term nourishment of spiritual energy and spiritual food, Jia Zhangshi's health had improved considerably, and she was able to get out of bed and walk around with difficulty. Her gaze towards the spiritual field was filled with awe and gratitude.

Qin Huairu held her child's hand, her eyes calm. She had long since resigned herself to her fate, content to live a simple life, no longer scheming or fighting, but instead feeling at peace and secure.

Ignoring the gazes of the crowd, Qin Lindong waved his hand, and the mature sixth-order spirit grains were automatically harvested and flown into the infinite storage space.

The infinite storage space is vast and boundless, now piled high with fourth, fifth, and sixth-tier spirit grains, as numerous as mountains and as deep as the sea, inexhaustible and boundless. It is enough for him to cultivate to a higher realm, and enough for everyone in the academy to enjoy for generations to come.

[Ding! Sixth-tier spirit grain harvested, system points +2000! Current points: 14360!]

[The sixth-tier spirit grain is automatically stored in the unlimited storage space!]

After putting away the spirit grain, Qin Lindong quickly washed up and prepared to head to the steel rolling mill.

Now, as the head of the forging workshop, he enjoys unparalleled prestige and is revered by the entire factory. For him, work is merely a formality, a cover to maintain his position. The factory director has long since delegated authority, and all matters, large and small, in the forging workshop are decided by his word, with no one daring to voice the slightest dissent.

As I approached the courtyard gate, my neighbors greeted me respectfully.

Good morning, Forest Supervisor!

Good morning, Director Lin!

The way they addressed each other reflected both the respect between neighbors and the awe shown to the director of the steel rolling mill.

Qin Lindong nodded slightly and stepped out of the courtyard.

As soon as he reached the alley entrance, he felt several subtle gazes fall upon him. He scanned them with his spiritual sense and knew they were ordinary people from the capital who had come to see what was going on after hearing the rumors.

The fame of the "extraordinary man of the courtyard house" has spread throughout Beijing, and many people wait at the entrance of the alley every day, hoping to catch a glimpse of him. However, due to the invisible barrier he has erected, they cannot get close and can only observe from afar.

Qin Lindong didn't care at all, and walked steadily towards the steel rolling mill. His aura as a Glazed Battle Body was restrained, and he looked no different from an ordinary worker, but his calm and dignified temperament made people dare not look him directly in the eye.

Upon arriving at the steel rolling mill, the gatekeeper saw them from afar and immediately straightened his back, bowed respectfully, and didn't even dare to raise his head.

Upon entering the forging workshop, the previously somewhat noisy space instantly fell silent. All the workers stopped what they were doing and bowed respectfully.

"Good morning, Director Qin!"

The voices were unified and filled with awe.

The once chaotic forging workshop is now disciplined, highly efficient, and boasts a zero defect rate, making it a benchmark workshop for the entire steel rolling mill. And all of this is thanks to Qin Lindong.

Qin Lindong calmly swept his gaze across the entire room: "Produce according to plan, and pay attention to safety."

"yes!"

Everyone responded in unison, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

The workshop director had long since become a subordinate, following Qin Lin's lead in everything. He quickly stepped forward, his face full of respect: "Director Qin, the factory manager just asked about you. He said that some higher-level leaders are coming to inspect the factory and would like you to accompany them."

Qin Lindong nodded lightly: "Understood."

Worldly social obligations and receptions meant nothing to him. But in order to maintain his stable status, he would not deliberately refuse them.

[Ding! The host has intimidated the entire factory, and his prestige is now secure!]

[Reward: Foundation Establishment Realm Level 4 progress +5%! Current progress: 25%!]

A system notification sounded, indicating that cultivation level was steadily increasing.

Qin Lindong walked to his office, sat down, closed his eyes to rest, and quietly spread his spiritual sense. While keeping an eye on the production in the workshop, he silently absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, managing to cultivate and work simultaneously.

The sixth-tier spirit valley slowly released spiritual energy within his body, nourishing his Glazed Battle Body, and his cultivation level rose steadily, like a boat sailing with the current.

For him, neither the power in the steel mill nor his reputation in the capital were anything but fleeting moments.

Only one's own strength and the stability of a courtyard house are the true things one can possess.

Spiritual energy liquefies, spiritual valley advances, grotto-heaven gradually forms, and cultivation deepens day by day.

In this mortal world, no one can offend me; in this small courtyard, life is peaceful and serene.

Qin Lindong opened his eyes, his gaze calm and undisturbed.

Life has reached its perfect point at this point.

The road ahead is long, but it is also a smooth path.
