Courtyard House: The Cultivation System Takes Me Flying

At nine o'clock in the morning, several black cars slowly drove into the steel rolling mill. The factory director, along with a group of factory leaders, waited at the gate early, their expressions respectful and not daring to be negligent in the slightest.

Today, higher-level leaders from the city are coming to inspect the steel rolling mill, focusing on production efficiency, workshop management, and exemplary deeds. The factory manager has already given instructions that everything must be done to the best of our ability, without the slightest mistake.

All the leaders knew that the most important person to be inspected was Qin Lindong, the forging workshop director who was now making a name for himself in the steel rolling mill and even had a small reputation in Beijing.

The car came to a stop, and several leaders dressed in Zhongshan suits got out, their expressions serious.

The factory manager quickly stepped forward and warmly shook hands: "Welcome, leaders, to our factory for inspection and guidance!"

The leader nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping across the factory area, and asked, "Is it true that your forging workshop has increased efficiency by 30% and achieved a zero defect rate?"

"Absolutely true!" The factory manager nodded hurriedly. "This is all thanks to one of our young workshop directors, Qin Lindong!"

"Oh?" A hint of interest appeared in the leader's eyes. "So young, yet so capable? Come, take me to meet him."

Accompanied by the factory manager, the group marched in a grand procession toward the forging workshop.

Inside the forging workshop, everything was in perfect order, machines were humming, and the workers were working with great enthusiasm; not a single person was slacking off. The uniform operation, the clean and tidy environment, and the efficient and orderly production impressed the visiting leaders.

"Excellent, very good!" The foreman nodded repeatedly, a satisfied look on his face. "Such workshop discipline is rare even in the entire city!"

The factory manager, feeling quite pleased with himself, quickly introduced, "Sir, this is Qin Lindong, the director of the forging workshop."

All eyes turned to Qin Lindong.

The young man was dressed in work clothes, with a tall and straight posture, a calm demeanor, and a composed face. He was neither arrogant nor humble, and although he did not exude any domineering air, he possessed an inherent dignity that commanded respect.

When facing his superiors, he neither fawned nor acted arrogantly; he simply nodded slightly and said, "Hello, leader."

This composure and calmness earned the secret approval of the leaders.

Most young people, when meeting their superiors, are either nervous and reserved or try too hard to please. It's rare to find someone as calm, composed, and dignified as Qin Lindong.

"You're Qin Lindong?" the leader asked. "You're so young, yet you manage to keep such a chaotic workshop so well. That's quite impressive."

"It's just my duty," Qin Lindong replied calmly.

The leader became even more curious: "What methods did you use to increase production efficiency so much?"

"Uphold strict discipline and lead by example."

These eight words are concise and powerful.

The factory manager quickly chimed in, recounting in detail the various achievements of Qin Lindong since taking office: how he rectified the work atmosphere, how he improved technology, how he intimidated the entire factory, and how he gained everyone's trust.

The leaders were increasingly surprised as they listened.

They initially thought that Qin Lindong simply had some management talent and a powerful background. They never expected him to be so capable, and even more so to possess a character far beyond that of ordinary people.

Then, recalling the recent legend of the "extraordinary person in Nanluoguxiang" circulating in Beijing, the leaders exchanged glances and had their own guesses.

This young man in front of me is probably no ordinary person.

The leader patted Qin Lindong on the shoulder, his tone appreciative: "Young man, work hard! The country needs talent like you! If you encounter any difficulties in the future, just report them to the factory; the organization will focus on developing you!"

These words were a blatant attempt to win him over and show him favor.

Anyone else would have been incredibly excited. But Qin Lindong simply nodded slightly: "Thank you for your concern, leader."

His expression remained calm, without the slightest excitement.

This demeanor made him even more unfathomable in the eyes of the leaders.

After the inspection, the leaders left with satisfaction. Before leaving, they specifically instructed the factory director again to give special attention to Qin Lindong and promote him vigorously.

After seeing the leaders off, the factory manager returned to the workshop and looked at Qin Lindong with even greater respect: "Little Qin, did you hear that? The leaders are very satisfied with you! Next, the factory plans to promote you to a leadership position; your future is limitless!"

The leaders of the steel rolling mill are at the highest management level, wielding immense power and holding extremely high positions. Countless people strive their entire lives but cannot reach that level.

But Qin Lindong just smiled faintly: "I will follow the factory's arrangements."

Power and status meant nothing to him.

These were never what he wanted.

[Ding! The host has gained favor from superiors, and their status in the mortal realm has been elevated once again!]

[Reward: Foundation Establishment Realm Level 4 progress +8%! Current progress: 33%!]

[System points +1500! Current points: 15860!]

The system notification sounded, but Qin Lindong remained completely unmoved.

He Yuzhu, having somehow gotten wind of the news, rushed over excitedly, his face beaming: "Brother, you're amazing! Even the higher-ups are praising you personally, and you're about to become a leader at a major factory! From now on, we can really do whatever we want in Beijing!"

Qin Lindong gently patted his shoulder: "Do your job well and don't cause trouble."

"Don't worry, don't worry!" He Yuzhu nodded repeatedly. "With you here, I'll definitely behave myself!"

He Yuzhu now holds a secure position in the canteen, with the factory director frequently requesting his cooking. Those who used to bully him now avoid him and treat him with utmost respect. He knows in his heart that all of this is thanks to Qin Lindong.

Throughout the entire steel rolling mill, from the leaders to the ordinary workers, everyone understood one ironclad rule—

You can offend the factory director, you can offend the leaders, but you absolutely cannot offend Qin Lindong.

You can disregard everyone else's feelings, but you must give He Yuzhu face.

After a brief inspection of the workshop to confirm that production was proceeding smoothly, Qin Lindong returned to his office and continued his meditation with his eyes closed.

The spiritual energy of the sixth-order spiritual valley flowed slowly within his body, making his Glazed Battle Body even more powerful. His spiritual sense, spanning three thousand miles, constantly enveloped the surrounding area, completely isolating him from the hustle and bustle of the mortal world.

To him, everything at the steel rolling mill was just a show.

He is both an audience member and a behind-the-scenes controller.

The play is bustling and noisy, but life outside the play is peaceful and serene.

When the get off work bell rang, Qin Lindong got up and slowly walked out of the steel rolling mill.

As the sun set, it cast a long shadow over him. His aura was restrained, seemingly ordinary, yet like a lurking dragon, his terror forever beyond the comprehension of mortals.

Back in the courtyard, the spiritual energy above the spiritual field liquefied, dripping crystal clear, and the sixth-order spiritual valley emitted a faint purple light, making the entire courtyard resemble a fairyland.

The neighbors greeted him warmly, their faces filled with pride and awe.

They all knew that the steel rolling mill's superiors had personally inspected the site and specifically praised Qin Lindong.

Everyone in the hospital was proud of him.

Qin Lindong nodded slightly and went straight back into the house.

Outside the window, there is a peaceful and tranquil courtyard;

Inside the house, there were endless resources;

Before him was a steadily increasing level of cultivation;

Behind him was an awe-inspiring presence that no one dared to challenge.

When superiors inspected him and praised him highly, and his status was promoted again, it was nothing but fleeting clouds to him.

In the mortal world, power, position, fame, and fortune are ultimately not as valuable as a wisp of spiritual energy from a spiritual field, nor as precious as a moment of peace within a courtyard.

He sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes to meditate.

The sixth-tier spiritual valley is surging with spiritual energy, and cultivation is steadily increasing.

With the foundation laid on the fourth floor, the road ahead is wide open.

In the courtyard house, time passes peacefully.

I have no other desires but a peaceful and stable life.
