Courtyard House: My Time Travel is a Bit Too Strong

In the blink of an eye, the bleeding stops, the skin heals, the bone reconnects, and the flesh grows back... the healing is so fast it's as if the injury never happened.

It breaks and heals again and again; its tendons and bones harden day by day, and its skin and flesh become tougher day by day.

After several hours of arduous practice, he fell asleep immediately. When he opened his eyes the next day, the sky was just beginning to brighten.

Days passed by, and their strength grew day by day.

That morning, Lin Quan began practicing Xia Ji's Eight Exercises again.

Whether the skin is torn open or the tendons and bones are broken, apart from the pain, there is nothing else to worry about.

With his body nearly immortal, he became increasingly daring... and whenever the thought arose, he dared to test it on himself.

"The human body has three dantian: the lower dantian gathers qi, the middle dantian nourishes essence, and the upper dantian stores spirit."

"Most martial artists in this world only cultivate their lower dantian."

"The three treasures of essence, energy, and spirit correspond precisely to the three fields."

Once the thought was settled, he calmed his mind and guided the pure Yang energy from his lower dantian, following the meridians and first opening the middle dantian, then leaping to the upper dantian, repeating this process back and forth.

The pain was so intense that veins bulged on his forehead and his jaw bled from biting so hard, yet he still refused to let up.

I'm not afraid of injury, I'm not afraid of pain... The more intense the pain, the brighter my heart becomes.

In this world, demons roam freely and monsters abound. Survival depends not on luck, but on having strong fists, ruthless methods, and a long life.

The body is destroyed and regenerated, then destroyed again, and in this repetitive process, the muscles and bones gradually become stronger.

The vital energy circulated several times before suddenly stagnating.

He closed his eyes and remained still, yet he could see every detail within ten steps: the insects crawling in the cracks of the tiles, the dust sticking to the window paper, and the ash accumulating in the corners of the walls.

"This energy in my upper dantian... could it be divine thought?"

"His divine sense is probably even more accurate than the Qingling Jade Pendant."

"The warmth in the middle dantian has a body-tempering effect far superior to that of pure yang qi."

He adjusted his breathing slightly, then guided the faint light from his dantian to slowly travel along the meridians.

Each time the true qi in the lower dantian completes a full cycle along a specific route, it slightly increases in thickness.

True Qi can be cultivated, but what about Divine Thought?

He wanted to try it.

There's no ready-made method for refining the soul? He's not afraid of damaging his physical body; he'll just figure it out himself.

"I walked this path once, but my soul power didn't increase."

"Walking this path once will slightly increase your soul power."

"I walked this path once, and my soul power didn't budge an inch."

……

"It's probably the one... the most suitable path for cultivating soul power."

After two whole days of effort, Lin Quan finally found a highly suitable exercise route.

Whether it is the optimal solution is still uncertain at this time.

The human body has 360 acupoints and tens of thousands of visible meridians.

Meridians are divided into two categories: visible and hidden. At present, he has only opened the five visible meridians of Yin-Yang and Five Elements.

The hidden meridians are nowhere to be found, let alone opened up.

The 360 ​​acupoints and meridians that have already been opened can generate countless combinations of energy flow.

"The method of refining the soul is called the 'Soul Technique'... straightforward and without beating around the bush."

He calmed himself down and focused on practicing the Soul Technique.

Finding this approach wasn't easy, but since it's usable right now, we should use it as soon as possible.

Strengthen your capabilities first, then strive for improvement.

After practicing for more than ten hours, the range of soul detection expanded from ten meters to one hundred meters.

"The aftereffects are getting weaker and weaker? No... it's that the soul power scattered throughout the body is all gathering in the dantian at the top of the head."

All the scattered soul power in the body was gathered into the upper dantian, and the circulation of the soul technique was like entering a narrow alley, becoming more and more sluggish the further one went.

Eating, bathing, sleeping—the first thing Lin Quan did upon opening his eyes was to ponder the middle dantian.

"The energy in the middle dantian is consumed very quickly, no matter which meridian or acupoint it passes through."

"This energy seems to come from food... my appetite is many times bigger than before."

"Right now, it's only enough to temper muscles, bones, and skin; its other uses haven't even been revealed yet."

After pondering for a few minutes, he got up and left the county government office, strolling along the street past one pharmacy after another.

"Five thousand taels of silver, and more than three thousand were spent in the blink of an eye."

Carrying several heavy bags of aged medicinal herbs back into the house, he opened the packages and said, "No need to decoct, soak, or mix them; just chew them and that's it!"

He pulled out a century-old ginseng root, frowned, and stuffed it into his mouth.

Dried ginseng is tough and bitter, almost like gnawing on wood.

Fortunately, he was protected by pure Yang Qi, making him immune to all poisons and unafraid of strong medicines or poisoning.

The ginseng enters the abdomen, and a surging heat rushes straight to the middle dantian.

He could clearly see how the ginseng was broken down and how its medicinal properties were released as his soul power swept over it.

Then draw upon the power of the middle dantian and slowly let it seep into the muscles, bones, flesh, meridians, acupoints, and skin.

"Okay, let's continue."

After checking it several times to make sure it was okay, he simply started chewing... It tasted bad, but as long as it worked, that was fine.

Only those who can endure hardship can withstand the ravages of life.

The days ahead are long; living a long life is the only way to avoid living in vain.

He ate with relish.

In less than two hours, all the medicinal herbs that had been bought with more than 3,800 taels of silver were consumed.

"The Yellow-Rank Demon Exorcist's monthly salary is five taels, of which two hundred taels are kept for emergencies, and the rest are used to exchange for medicine."

He bought another thousand taels of silver worth of goods before leaving the house.

As soon as the effects of the medicine wore off, he smacked his lips and began to think about ways to make money.

"A man cannot get rich without unexpected wealth, and a horse cannot get fat without night grazing."

"I am a Yellow-Rank Demon Exorcist of the Demon Suppression Division. It is my duty to slay demons and eliminate evil."

Even the poorest sorcerer has tens of thousands of taels of silver in his pocket.

The thought crossed his mind, and he stepped out of the county government office and wandered around the city at will.

The two men were of similar rank, but he came to Lin'an as an assistant manager, not a servant.

With a sweep of soul power, demons and monsters could not hide, and even human demons could not escape.

Whether they are demons or monsters, they all carry evil energy within them.

Demons with high cultivation levels can conceal their aura and deceive the Pure Spirit Jade Pendant;

The demon, by using the human body and scent as cover, can also bypass the jade pendant's detection.

After wandering around for more than an hour, he finally captured a demon.

"Within a hundred meters, I was watching him, and he was completely unaware."

Half an hour later, the man turned into a courtyard.

"We have to take both the money and the credit."

As his soul power swept in, the location, number, and stiffness of the corpse puppets in the courtyard all appeared in his mind.

"A vengeful monster, a demon... The silver notes, gold ingots, and loose silver add up to more than 80,000."

He drew his sword... and with his sword "Demon Slayer" unsheathed, he leaped into the courtyard.

With a flash of light, all the vengeful monsters, demons, and corpse puppets fell.

"I'll take the banknotes, gold, and loose silver; the antiques and calligraphy will be left to future generations."

Sixty-five thousand seven hundred taels of silver notes; over one thousand three hundred taels of gold.

One tael of gold can be exchanged for ten taels of silver, which is equivalent to more than 13,000 taels of silver.

Lin Quan took the gold to the money exchange and exchanged it for more than 80,000 taels of silver notes. Carrying the thick wad of silver notes back to his residence in the county government, he bought a large bag of medicinal herbs, sat in the room, and chewed and swallowed them one bite after another.

"Even the most malevolent monsters can't withstand a single blow from me."

"With his current skills, he's at least a Grandmaster."

"Back to the Demon Suppression Division, it's time to promote me to the Profound Rank Demon Exterminator... Grandmaster corresponds to Earth Rank, which is one rank lower than me, not much difference, so it's safe."

"The energy in the middle dantian can strengthen the body; wouldn't it be perfect to also cultivate one's mind while taking medicine?"

The thought had barely formed in his mind when he drew his dagger and slashed his arm.

With increased force in his wrist, fine lines appeared on the blade, but not a single white mark was left on his skin.

"The knife isn't bad, so how come it couldn't hurt me?"

He switched to the Demon-Slaying Blade, making several horizontal and vertical cuts, tearing open the skin and drawing out beads of blood.

The excruciating pain shot straight to his head, but he chewed even harder, stuffing handfuls of herbs into his mouth and swallowing them cleanly and efficiently.

In less than three days, the 80,000 taels of silver notes had dwindled to just over 500 taels.

The heat from the medicinal herbs surged through my muscles and bones, and my body felt more and more solid each day.

"The Demon-Slaying Blade I got for fifty merit points is barely enough to cut my skin."

"Shen Changqing bought the Cold Moon Blade from the Demon Suppression Division for only eight merit points."

"This blade, in terms of both toughness and sharpness, is far superior to the Cold Moon Blade."
