Courtyard House: My Time Travel is a Bit Too Strong

They bought all the daily necessities, including oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, cloth, and medicinal herbs, and also sent a large amount of grain that Qiao Jingjing urgently needed.

They even took the corpses of several hundred-year-old and thousand-year-old soul beasts that were edible, as the flesh was firm and the medicinal effects were potent.

The supplies piled up in the mirror space are now completely full.

In the short term, the worry about food shortages has been completely eliminated.

Lin Quan didn't linger and swiftly returned to the main world with the two women.

As soon as she stepped back into familiar territory, Zhu Zhuqing deftly boiled water and made tea, her movements as practiced as if she had done it a thousand times.

As the steam rose from the hot tea, she finally looked up and asked, "Brother Quan, what are your plans next?"

Before she finished speaking, Wang Yuyan quietly turned her head and her gaze fell on Lin Quan.

Lin Quan met the two pairs of eyes, remained silent for a moment, and then slowly spoke:

"The safest path right now is to climb steadily and practically."

"Let's first find a batch of superior martial arts techniques passed down from Yu Yan's side, suitable for our current level..."

He paused, his tone hardening, and continued with even greater certainty:

"But right now, the ballast is still the crystal core of the Crystal World."

"As long as the crystal cores continue to flow, our cultivation level will continue to rise."

"So from now on, all arrangements must revolve around Jingjing."

Wang Yuyan and Zhu Zhuqing exchanged a glance and nodded in unison, their expressions full of agreement.

That's true.

The fastest way to help someone break through to a higher level right now is through the crystal core that condenses inside a zombie.

Furthermore, everyone has awakened their martial soul, and they are just waiting for their strength to increase before they can try to receive the power of the soul ring.

The thought of spirit rings made Lin Quan's gaze sweep over the two of them, finally settling on Zhu Zhuqing's face:

"Now that all my power has been transformed into formless true energy, I wonder if it's still possible to determine my soul power level?"

"Whether it works or not, you'll only know after you try."

Zhu Zhuqing responded immediately, flipping her fingertips to hold three crystal balls steadily in her palm:

"This one has a maximum soul power of level 30."

"This one can withstand a magnitude 50 earthquake."

"The last one is approaching level 70."

Before they cultivated the "Formless Divine Skill," the fluctuations of soul power within Zhu Zhuqing, Lin Quan, and Qiao Jingjing were clearly perceptible, with an error margin of only about one level.

But ever since the true qi was unified and all streams came from the same source, that old method has lost its accuracy.

Now, we can only barely match the level of a Soul Master by relying on the martial arts realms that Wang Yuyan has outlined.

Just how thick does one's true qi need to be to be equivalent to a Soul Master of a certain level? Lin Quan himself wasn't sure.

"I'll give it a try first."

Without waiting for a greeting, Wang Yuyan went straight forward and reached out to take the ball.

"Sister Yuyan, use this level 30 one first."

Zhu Zhuqing then handed over the leftmost one.

Wang Yuyan took it and casually asked, "How is it tested?"

"If you pour in your true energy, it will speak."

She said no more, and with a slight thought, her dantian trembled, and a long stream of true energy flowed towards the crystal ball.

Swah——

Light up!

The crystal ball in his hand suddenly lit up, the light surging and leaping from the inside out, flickering several times before finally stabilizing.

Two-thirds of the sphere was filled with a warm yet sharp halo of light.

Zhu Zhuqing's eyes flashed, and she immediately reported: "Sister Yuyan, about level twenty to twenty-two soul power."

Wang Yuyan looked down at the shimmering light and nodded gently:

"I never expected that my initial stage of cultivation would already be approaching the threshold of level twenty..."

Although it has not yet reached the middle stage, that thin barrier is already on the verge of collapse.

But it is still the early stage of acquired learning!

Wang Yuyan's gaze sharpened, and she suddenly turned her gaze to Lin Quan and Zhu Zhuqing, her voice clear and crisp:

"Brother Quan, Sister Zhuqing, now that you've both firmly established yourselves in the late stage of the Acquired Realm, how would your Formless True Qi be converted into Soul Power level?"

It should be noted that Zhu Zhu had previously reached the level 50 Soul King realm without acquiring a single Soul Ring by relying solely on the power of devouring crystal cores—a level 2 Awakener who had just stepped into the threshold!

Now that he has switched to cultivating the "Formless Divine Skill," all the soul power in his body has been fused into Formless True Qi. Its texture, resilience, and explosive power have all been completely transformed. It is still unknown how many levels of soul power it can suppress.

Before she finished speaking, Zhu Zhuqing had already reached out and taken the level 50 soul-testing crystal ball that shimmered with a faint blue light. With a flick of her fingertips, her true energy poured out like a silver waterfall.

The crystal ball lit up in response, its light clear but not overflowing – shining only to ninety percent of its full radiance, steadily remaining around level forty-five!

On the surface, it seems like her strength has declined; in reality, every wisp of her true energy is more condensed, sharper, and more unshakeable than before. At this moment, her combat power has already surpassed that of the former Soul King, and they are no longer comparable.

"Let me try it too."

Lin Quan took the crystal ball, his palm slightly radiating outwards, and his true energy flowed in like a stream.

The halo slowly rose, eventually settling at just over level 40—a solid five levels lower than Zhu Zhuqing's.

Both were at the late stage of the Acquired Realm, yet their levels of Qi refinement, circulation efficiency, and internal energy thickness differed so significantly.

Upon closer examination, it makes perfect sense: Zhu Zhuqing already had a solid foundation, and her martial soul was primarily focused on agility and speed, so she thrived after switching to the Formless True Qi; Lin Quan, on the other hand, had only recently entered this path, and although his lightning attribute was domineering, he needed more time to refine and perfect it.

After the three finished their tests, Wang Yuyan's eyes suddenly flashed, and she asked in a slightly raised tone, "By the way—any news from Sister Jingjing's side? Has she broken through yet?"

Lin Quan's heart stirred slightly, and he quietly peered through the Time Mirror.

Qiao Jingjing sat cross-legged in the quiet room, her breath rising and falling like the tides: sometimes surging and turbulent, as if there were hidden thunder and fire; sometimes silent and still, like an ancient well without waves—it was the sign of being on the verge of breaking through!

He didn't disturb them, only touching and then immediately withdrawing. Normally, he rarely used the Time-Space Mirror to spy on others' cultivation, for fear of disturbing their minds; but Wang Yuyan's question happened to touch on a concern in his heart, so he quietly investigated.

"Jingjing is in excellent condition."

Lin Quan withdrew his gaze, his tone certain, "If nothing unexpected happens, when she reappears, she will undoubtedly be a Level 3 Awakened."

As soon as he finished speaking, his gaze shifted and landed on Wang Yuyan:

"Yu Yan, now we can say that we have finally knocked on the door of the Formless Divine Skill."

"There's no need to rush from here on out; just proceed step by step, steadily and surely."

"Go and see if there's a suitable attack method for us at Langhuan Jade Cave."

Before she finished speaking, Zhu Zhuqing turned her head to look at Wang Yuyan, her eyes gleaming with intense interest.

Ever since she heard about the various extraordinary skills and techniques in the martial arts world, she has been captivated by them—those manuals, once they fall into the world of martial spirits, are not just a few moves, but clearly a whole set of self-created soul skills!

Especially top-tier divine skills, a single move can be just as powerful as a ten-thousand-year-old soul skill, or even surpass it!

Wang Yuyan hesitated for a moment, then lightly tapped her chin with her fingertip and spoke:

"Sister Zhuqing's martial soul belongs to the agility-based attack type, making her best suited for mastering light footwork and claw techniques;"

"As for Brother Quan, the power of thunder is fierce and intense, and should be paired with the most powerful and intense external martial arts."

"Please wait a moment, I'll go search right away!"

Before she finished speaking, her figure had already transformed into a green shadow and darted into the depths of the Langhuan Jade Cave.

Lin Quan and Zhu Zhuqing looked in the direction she disappeared and smiled at each other.
