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

With Chen Xueru's situation settled, Li Xuan's life returned to normal.

He practiced medicine at the hospital and studied medicine at the school.

In his spare time, he would visit the silk shop to give pointers or accompany Hua Youlin for a walk in the park.

Although the peaceful days were pleasant, Li Xuan never let his guard down.

He knew that the storm that would sweep everything away was brewing!

There are less than two years left before the outbreak.

It was late at night, and the moon was bright but the stars were few.

Li Xuan sat cross-legged beside the spiritual spring in the Purple Cloud Space, checking the system panel.

During this period, he treated countless patients with difficult and complicated diseases.

He also secretly helped Chen Xueru, Lou Xiao'e and others avoid trouble.

In addition, thanks to the accumulated foundation, merit points have finally ushered in a new round of explosive growth.

[Ding! Detected that the host has recently been practicing medicine and helping the common people, accumulating immeasurable merit!]

[The accumulated merit points have exceeded 10000!]

[Upgrade the Purple Cloud Space to Lv4?]

"The day has finally come!"

Li Xuan took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with a sharp light.

"upgrade!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire Purple Cloud Space underwent another earth-shattering change.

This commotion is bigger than ever before!

The original territory of 5,000 mu has been expanded by 1000 mu!

The distant mist dissipated, revealing a range of rolling mountains.

Waterfalls and streams can be faintly seen in the mountains, making it seem like a fairyland.

The spiritual spring transformed directly into a spiritual lake, its waters a jade-green hue, radiating a visible aura of spiritual energy.

[Ding! Purple Cloud Space upgraded to Lv4!]

[Current time flow rate: 100 times (one day outside, one hundred days in space).]

[Unlock new building: Weapon Refining Workshop!]

[Unlock intermediate cultivation features: Craft magical artifacts and talismans, and master basic Five Elements techniques!]

"One hundred times the flow rate! Weapon Forging Workshop!"

Li Xuan stood up excitedly.

What does a flow rate of 100 times mean?

This means that while he cultivated in the space for a year, only a little over three days had passed in the outside world!

This is practically a cheating device!

The opening of the weapon-refining workshop enabled him to protect himself in this mortal world.

Even the ultimate trump card to protect your family!

He strode quickly toward the newly appeared building.

It was a magnificent hall built of obsidian, with the three large characters "Divine Weapon Pavilion" written on the plaque.

As you push open the door, a wave of heat hits you.

In the center of the hall, a ball of purple flame floated.

This is the Earth's core purple fire, which requires no fuel, burns for ten thousand years, and can melt all things in the world!

The shelves around the room were filled with samples and diagrams of various refining materials.

Li Xuan picked up a copy of "Elementary Guide to Weapon Forging" and quickly browsed through it.

"Protective Jade Pendant: Engraved with defensive formations, it can withstand three fatal attacks and has the effects of calming the mind, stabilizing the spirit, and making one immune to all poisons."

"Pure Heart Pendant: The wearer can be protected from mental manipulation and maintain a clear mind."

"Sumeru Ring (Beginner): Contains ten cubic meters of storage space (requires top-grade Void Stone, currently unavailable)."

Although a storage ring is not feasible for the time being, a protective jade pendant is the most urgent matter!

The future is too chaotic; no one can guarantee against sneak attacks or schemes by malicious individuals.

With this protective jade pendant, the safety of your family will be guaranteed!

"Materials...I have plenty!"

Li Xuan waved his hand and took out the top-quality jade he had previously plundered from Prince Gong's Mansion and various black markets.

Imperial green jadeite, mutton fat white jade, top-grade Hetian yellow jade...

These are priceless treasures in the eyes of ordinary people.

At this moment, Li Xuan threw it into the purple fire without a second thought.

"Refine!"

Li Xuan channeled his inner energy and formed hand seals.

Intricate runes were injected into the melting jade liquid.

"Defensive formation, inscribe!"

"Spirit Gathering Array, inscribe!"

"Inscribe the calming formation!"

For a whole month (a few hours outside), Li Xuan stayed in the weapon-refining workshop without sleep or rest.

at last.

When he walked out of the main hall again.

He now had more than a dozen jade pendants with simple and elegant designs and shimmering colors.

These jade pendants look ordinary on the surface, almost indistinguishable from those sold at street stalls.

This was a deliberate disguise by Li Xuan to avoid revealing his wealth.

However, if one uses mental power to probe, one can discover that it contains terrifying energy fluctuations!

"This is the real talisman!"

Li Xuan played with a jade pendant with satisfaction, a smile playing on his lips.

"With this, even if you get hit by a truck or shot by bullets, you'll be safe!"

......

the next day.

While eating breakfast, Li Xuan took out four jade pendants strung together with red cords.

"Mom, Xiaotian, Xiaoyu, Yushui, come on, one for each of you."

"What is this? It's such a beautiful piece of jade!"

Xiaoyu held it in her hands and loved it so much she couldn't put it down.

"This is a jade pendant for peace that I obtained from Baiyun Temple."

"These have all been blessed by enlightened masters!"

Li Xuan spoke nonsense with a straight face, "I heard it's especially effective, able to ward off disasters and misfortunes."

"You must wear them close to your body, even when showering or sleeping, understand?"

"Is that amazing?"

Although Su Yun was a materialist, he was concerned about the safety of his children.

She preferred to believe it was true, saying, "Okay, Mom will wear it, and you should wear it too."

"What my brother gives me is definitely top-notch!"

Without saying a word, Li Tian hung it around his neck and stuffed it into his clothes.

He Yushui cherished it like a treasure, holding the jade pendant that still carried Li Xuan's body heat tightly, feeling warm inside.

After distributing the supplies to the family.

Li Xuan went to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs dormitory to find Hua Youlin, and to the silk shop to find Chen Xueru.

The one given to Hua Youlin was a piece of mutton-fat jade carved into the shape of a lotus flower, symbolizing pure love.

"Youlin, this is my family heirloom. You must wear it at all times."

Hua Youlin was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes. She immediately hung the jade pendant around her neck, vowing that as long as she was alive, the jade would remain.

The piece given to Chen Xueru was a red jadeite engraved with peonies, vibrant and alluring.

"Sister Xue Ru, the world is in turmoil lately, this thing can keep you safe."

Chen Xueru is a connoisseur; she could tell at a glance that the jade was of exceptional quality.

She understood Li Xuan's intentions even more, and was deeply moved.

After doing all this, Li Xuan stood on the roof of the courtyard house, looking at the city sleeping in the night.

Armor is on, divine weapon in hand.

No matter how turbulent the situation, I will remain steadfast and unmoved.

"Next, we need to deal with that old grasshopper that's still hopping around in the yard."

Li Xuan's gaze fell on the dark room in the central courtyard belonging to Yi Zhonghai.
