Courtyard House: My Time Travel is a Bit Too Strong

He had been worried for more than ten days after killing a mid-level demon.

After several months of peace and tranquility, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Demons who possess storage rings are either of extraordinary birth or incredibly lucky...

It's like someone walking with their head down, only to step on a gold ingot.

A mid-level demon found a storage ring? Not unusual.

Lin Quan traveled at a leisurely pace, stopping frequently, and it took him more than three months to finally return to the capital.

During this period, he sold off his personal belongings one after another, and exchanged them for a large number of rare medicinal herbs.

The effects of immortality far exceeded his initial expectations...

All medicinal materials that enter the stomach, regardless of whether they are hot or cold, strong or mild, are refined and transformed into the power of essence, qi, and spirit.

"His soul and consciousness can cover five thousand miles, and his strength and physical strength exceed one million catties; the pure yang true qi in his lower dantian has completely transformed into liquid, and is already overflowing."

"After that brutal and bloody battle, people behind his back called him 'God of Slaughter'."

Once his mind had calmed down a bit, Lin Quan plunged into the pharmacy street, buying any good medicine he saw without hesitation.

Pills are too expensive and their efficacy is compromised; but his body can extract every last drop of medicinal value from an entire medicinal herb.

They swallowed it whole, without wasting a single drop.

The only downside is that the medicine tastes bitter, it makes your mouth numb, and chewing it feels like chewing tree roots or sand, making it difficult to swallow.

After returning to the Demon Suppression Division, Xiaoyu and Xiaoying brought him hot water and helped him take a refreshing bath.

The two were innocent girls redeemed from a brothel, and they were not yet betrothed. Lin Quan bought them together for six thousand taels of silver.

After soaking in the water and feeling completely relaxed, I fell into a deep sleep for several hours. Upon waking, I sat cross-legged and began my practice.

"First strengthen the body, then refine the spirit."

After flipping through "The Indestructible Golden Body" several times, he tried circulating his qi through his body according to the incantation.

After one round, the technique was completely mastered, reaching its pinnacle.

It's not that his skill is shallow, but rather that his muscles, bones, and skin have long exceeded their limits.

He then picked up several barbarian martial arts techniques and mastered them all within a few days.

"That's about all the barbarians' physical skills are capable of."

To refresh himself, he turned to the spiritual secret technique he had seized from the priest's temple... "The Ancient Refining God Technique".

"It's much more solid than the soul technique I figured out myself."

Once you're hooked on this technique, it's hard to break free. Time flowed by like water, and he was completely unaware.

Dongfang Zhao waited and waited, but Lin Quan never showed up.

Several Heavenly Rank Demon Exorcists arrived at the courtyard, but were all politely and firmly stopped at the door by Xiaoyu and Xiaoying.

Let alone the Heavenly Gate, even if the Garrison Commander himself came, he wouldn't dare knock on his door.

His deeds of going it alone and sweeping away the wilderness have long been known throughout the Demon Suppression Division... No one dares to use the rules to suppress him.

At first, some people speculated that the mid-level demon was probably seriously injured and dying, which is why Lin Quan was able to take advantage of the situation.

But when the news arrived that millions of tribes in the barbaric lands had been wiped out, everyone fell silent.

One person wipes out an entire clan; what chance is there of escaping with their life? That demon, even at its peak, was likely slain by the blade.

……

The Imperial Palace, the Imperial Study.

Gu Xuanji held the secret report he had just presented, his knuckles turning slightly white.

"Your Majesty, Lin Quan has been in the Demon Suppression Division for less than three years..." The old eunuch stood to the side with his hands at his sides, his voice low and steady.

Gu Xuanji raised his eyes: "I have drafted an edict to appoint him as the Lord of the Wilderness, in charge of all military, political and other affairs there. He shall take up his post after he marries Princess Mingyue."

The old eunuch paused for a moment, then said, "Your Majesty is wise. However... there may be some concerns regarding Princess Mingyue."

"The affairs of the Qin Dynasty are decided by me."

"If Lin Quan refuses the marriage..." The old eunuch stopped speaking before he could finish.

Gu Xuanji frowned slightly: "Then let the princess go see him first... without necessarily having a formal title, just to exchange pleasantries."

After Lin Quan mastered the "Ancient Refining God Technique", he found that his soul power growth was sluggish.

He simply let go and dismantle the mnemonic devices, re-editing them and repeatedly trying and failing.

"Efficiency has increased ninefold; going any further has hit a bottleneck."

Once he felt relieved, he took Xiaoyu and Xiaoying and played the zither and flute in the courtyard, singing and dancing, making a ruckus for half a day.

The two girls were beautiful and had great figures. They were skilled in music and singing, and their playing was melodious and clear.

He lived a comfortable and carefree life, with food and clothing provided and people caring about his well-being.

"It's time to take your medicine."

He strolled into the empty room, spread out packets of medicinal herbs, grabbed some, and chewed them quickly and decisively.

The next morning, a eunuch came to the palace and read the imperial edict aloud.

Lin Quan calmly accepted the imperial edict and turned to pack his belongings.

The wilderness had been incorporated into the Qin Dynasty's territory, and as its lord, he was now in charge of all affairs in that land.

To the barbarians, that place was a desolate wasteland where wind and sand gnawed at their bones and miasma eroded their lungs;

For him, it was a treasure trove... medicinal herbs were everywhere, wild beasts roamed freely, and resources were plentiful.

Burning mountains to reclaim wasteland and digging canals to create fields, thousands of acres of fertile land can be cultivated with just a wave of the hand.

With the lordship granted, the identity of the Demon Suppression Division naturally relinquishes, and a new residence must be chosen.

Fortunately, the emperor bestowed a mansion not far from the palace walls, saving them the trouble of searching elsewhere.

On the day they moved into the Lin residence, four stunningly beautiful maids, thirty guards, and twenty servants lined up to await orders.

He continued to take medicine and practice Qi cultivation as usual, and his cultivation level was still slowly rising.

It's not that the medicine is less effective; it's that his foundation is too strong, making it difficult for him to make rapid progress like before.

He never inquired about the backgrounds of the people in the mansion or whether they were spies planted in his household.

In this world, might makes right.

Strength overwhelms everything; everything else is meaningless.

Besides practicing martial arts, four maids served tea, played the zither, added incense, and offered towels, perfectly relaxing their muscles and soothing their minds.

For the next two weeks, people came to my door with a constant stream of gifts…

Colleagues from the Demon Suppression Bureau, elders from martial arts sects, civil and military officials from the imperial court, and even several princes and princesses sent people with gifts.

Lin Quan accepted all gifts with a smile, never refusing or declining them.

There's no reason to turn away something that's offered to you.

Princess Mingyue would come every few days, sometimes bringing a box of freshly roasted Yunwu tea, sometimes bringing a few rare ancient books, and sometimes just sitting under the eaves listening to the wind, neither speaking nor leaving.

Gu Mingyue, in her early twenties, has beautiful features, a well-proportioned figure, and a calm demeanor. She is also a rare genius in martial arts.

Even for the Palace Master of Bright Moon Palace, who has no shortage of cultivation resources, reaching the Grandmaster realm in her early twenties is still extremely rare.

More than a month later, Lin Quan received another imperial edict.

Two months later, he married the Palace Mistress of Bright Moon Palace and then set off for the desolate wilderness.

The group consisted of three thousand artisans and five thousand soldiers; in addition, they brought two hundred thousand refugees from the Great Wilderness Prefecture into the wilderness.

They burned the mountains to clear the land, dug canals to draw water, and sowed grain and millet.

Lin Quan entrusted all matters, big and small, to Gu Mingyue.

He himself travels through the wild heartland year after year, sweeping across the land with the power of his soul... Demons and monsters, ferocious birds and beasts, and remnants of barbarian tribes are all annihilated upon encounter.

Now, wherever the soul reaches, every detail within a radius of ten thousand meters is clearly visible.

Mid-level demons are killed in one move; high-level demons fall instantly upon the fall of the blade; even the most powerful demons cannot escape being killed in an instant.

They slaughtered so many demons that they had to detour, so many barbarians that they had to flee without a trace, and so many wild beasts that they had to disappear from the wilderness.

Once the wilderness was completely eradicated, Lin Quan would reside permanently in the lord's mansion.

He harvested all the medicinal herbs that were over a hundred years old.

He consumes hundreds or even thousands of medicinal herbs every day, and practices martial arts and internal energy cultivation with Gu Mingyue and others. His life is simple, but also fulfilling.

Gu Mingyue practiced the "Ancient Refining God Technique," exhausting all the rare and precious materials in the world, and finally broke through to the Grandmaster realm.

After consuming the remaining medicine, Lin Quan's cultivation level increased again.

"The energy in the three dantians has begun to solidify."

Six months ago, the Qi in my middle Dantian could no longer help my body improve.
