Courtyard House: Starting by inheriting the tradition and suppressing the barbarians.

The night was deep and all was quiet.

Li Xuan locked the door from the inside, and with a thought, his figure vanished instantly, entering the Purple Cloud Space.

The space was filled with spiritual energy.

Li Xuan sat cross-legged under the unknown ancient tree, his brows slightly furrowed.

Although he seems to have won a great victory in this series of struggles, leaving Yi Zhonghai and the Jia family in a sorry state.

But he knew in his heart that this was just a temporary hibernation for these beasts.

Jia Dongxu suffered such a huge loss, and Yi Zhonghai lost so much money; these two will definitely not let it go.

There's no such thing as being able to guard against thieves for a thousand days if you're a thief for a thousand days.

To be truly invincible, only absolute strength is possible!

"I am currently at the peak of Ming Jin (manifest strength), just one step away from An Jin (hidden strength)."

"But to reach the legendary realm of 'embracing the elixir,' hard work alone is far from enough; one must have a vast amount of vital energy to support it."

Li Xuan looked at the ancient-looking bronze cauldron not far away, his brows furrowed.

"It seems we need to make some pills!"

A glint of light flashed in Li Xuan's eyes.

With a thought, he took out several items:

The skeleton of the huge lone wolf that I killed with a single punch in the deep mountains outside Beijing.

There was also the wild ginseng I bought at a pharmacy for a lot of money, and several Ganoderma lucidum plants I picked on the mountain.

"Wolf bone strengthens muscles and bones, ginseng replenishes qi, and lingzhi calms the mind."

"Plus, use the spiritual spring water as a catalyst..."

Li Xuan threw all these precious materials into the bronze cauldron.

"Synthesis - Qi and Blood Pill!"

"Buzz!"

The cauldron vibrated slightly, emitting a strange buzzing sound, and its body emitted a faint red light.

This was his first attempt at synthesizing a pill of this caliber, and he was somewhat apprehensive.

A moment later, the stove lid popped open automatically.

A strong, almost overwhelming smell of blood wafted into the air.

[Ding! Synthesis successful!]

[Received: 5 Top-Grade Wolf Bone Blood Essence Pills!]

Li Xuan reached out and summoned five blood-red pills, each the size of a longan, which fell into his palm.

"This is amazing! Just the smell makes my blood and energy surge!"

This is a miraculous medicine synthesized using spatial rules, removing impurities and retaining the purest essence.

Without further hesitation, Li Xuan tilted his head back and swallowed a Qi and Blood Pill.

"boom!"

The pill entered his stomach and instantly transformed into a torrent of heat, washing over his meridians like the Yangtze River.

Li Xuan felt as if he had turned into a furnace, with his blood boiling.

My heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of my chest.

"What potent medicinal power! No wonder it's the essence of a ferocious beast!"

Li Xuan dared not be careless and quickly adopted the stance of Tai Chi Chuan to guide this violent energy.

Starting stance, catching the sparrow's tail, single whip...

He slowly began to practice his boxing on the grass in the space.

Although the movements were slow, they carried an immense force.

With each breath, the surrounding air seemed to tremble.

One, two, three...

As Li Xuan continued to consume the Qi and Blood Pills, the Qi and Blood power within his body accumulated stronger and stronger.

Finally, it produced a heavy sound like lead and mercury flowing.

"Hmph! Ha!"

Just as he swallowed the last pill, Li Xuan suddenly let out a thunderous roar.

The body's Qi and blood seemed to have found an outlet, instantly converging, compressing, and collapsing towards the Dantian!

At this moment, all the energy and spirit seemed to converge into a perfectly round golden elixir!

The pores on his body closed instantly, locking in all his physical energy and vitality, with not a single trace leaking out.

This is the highest realm in Chinese martial arts—embracing the elixir!

"call!"

Li Xuan slowly finished his practice and exhaled a long breath of white air.

The white mist condensed and did not dissipate, like a sharp sword, and actually flew more than three meters away before slowly dissipating.

"Exhale and form a sword!"

"Is this the realm of a Grandmaster who has attained the Core Formation?"

Li Xuan opened his eyes and felt that the whole world had changed.

His skin became as smooth and lustrous as jade.

His body, which was originally strong but slightly thin, now contained explosive power in every muscle.

The lines are as perfect as those of an ancient Greek sculpture!

To his even greater surprise, his lifespan section on the system panel underwent a dramatic change.

[Host: Li Xuan]

[Realm Level: Core Formation (Grandmaster Level)]

Lifespan: 200 years (abundant Qi and blood, a body without leaks)

"Two hundred years old!"

Li Xuan clenched his fist, feeling the surging vitality within his body, and was overjoyed.

In an era when the average lifespan is only fifty or sixty years, living to two hundred is practically like being a celestial being!

As long as he doesn't do anything reckless, he can outlive all the beasts in this yard several times over!

But the benefits of this breakthrough go far beyond that.

Li Xuan felt a cool sensation between his brows, a sensation that originally only covered a radius of twenty or thirty meters with his spiritual power.

At this moment, it seemed to have broken through some kind of constraint and was spreading wildly outwards.

Forty meters...sixty meters...one hundred meters!

Finally, it stabilized within a radius of 100 meters centered on him!

"One hundred meters is enough to cover not only the entire courtyard house, but also to detect the surrounding alleyways!"

Li Xuan closed his eyes, and the entire No. 95 courtyard house appeared clearly in his mind, like a holographic projection.

In the front yard, Yan Bugui was lying in bed counting money, feeling heartbroken about the wages he had been fined.

In the Intermediate People's Court, Jia Dongxu lay on the bed like a dead dog, cursing even in his dreams.

Yi Zhonghai was sleeping on his stomach, and his buttocks would twitch from time to time because of the pain.

In the backyard, Xu Damao was arguing with Lou Xiao'e...

All privacy is exposed!

This is the true God's perspective!

"Huh? What's this...?"

Li Xuan suddenly discovered that with the surge in his mental power, he seemed to be able to exert some kind of substantial influence on the objects around him.

He looked at a teacup on a table a few meters away.

A thought crossed my mind.

"rise!"

The teacup suddenly began to float up, wobbling precariously!

Although it was somewhat unstable, it had indeed broken free from Earth's gravity!

"Telekinesis!"

Li Xuan was overjoyed.

Although it can only control some small objects now, if used properly, it is definitely a divine skill for sneaking around people!

Imagine you're walking down the street and a stone suddenly trips you.

Or you're eating, and suddenly chopsticks are stuck into your nostril...

The scene was absolutely beautiful!

"Together with my alloy throwing knives!"

Li Xuan took out the Grade A alloy throwing knife from his spatial storage.

Under the control of mental power, the throwing knife moved like a silver fish.

It darts rapidly through the air, sometimes up, sometimes down, unpredictable and erratic.

"go!"

A flash of cold light.

A wooden stake ten meters away was pierced instantly!

Silently!

"Great! With this method, I won't even need to personally deal with those beasts anymore."

Li Xuan sheathed his flying knife, a playful smile playing on his lips.

In the past, we had to rely on primitive methods like "throwing nails," but now...?

As long as he sits in the house, he can make Yi Zhonghai choke on his water, make Jia Dongxu trip and fall while walking, and make Sha Zhu smash his foot while flipping a ladle!

And absolutely no trace of human intervention can be found!

"Yi Zhonghai, Jia Dongxu, don't you two like to play dirty tricks?"

"From today onwards, I'll show you what real ghost-seeing is!"

Li Xuan exited the space and lay back down on the bed.

Feeling the surging power within him and the clear perception in his mind, he slept exceptionally well that night.

For some people in the courtyard house, however, the nightmare had only just begun.
