Courtyard House: The Cultivation System Takes Me Flying

After clearing the spirit field, Qin Lindong returned to the house and began preparing breakfast. The system space was well-stocked with supplies, including flour, rice, pork, and eggs. He casually took out spirit rice seeds (for later use) and eggs, intending to make a pot of spirit rice and egg porridge to taste the texture of the spirit rice.

The divine knife work automatically spun the eggs evenly, and the spirit rice was rinsed clean and put into a pot with water to stew. As soon as the spirit rice entered the pot, it released a faint fragrance, several times more fragrant than ordinary rice. As the temperature rose, the aroma became more and more intense, wafting out of the house through the doors and windows and filling the entire courtyard.

Unlike the previous meaty aroma, this fragrance is light and pleasant, refreshing and invigorating, as if the internal organs have been cleansed.

The neighbors who were busy working in the courtyard stopped what they were doing when they smelled the fragrance. They looked at Qin Lindong's house and the newly cultivated spiritual field in front of it with shocked eyes.

"It smells so good! What is this scent? It smells so comforting!"

"It smells even better than the pastries in the city. Could it be from something from the Qinlin animal?"

"That plot of land seemed off just now, and now it smells so good. What secret is Qin Lindong hiding?"

Whispers rose and fell, all eyes fixed on Qin Lindong's spiritual field and the door, their hearts filled with curiosity and shock. Yet, no matter how curious they were, no one dared to take a step forward, only able to observe from afar.

In the spirit field, with the blessing of spiritual energy and system buffs, the sown seeds have begun to sprout slightly. The soil gently swells, and tiny pale green shoots break through the soil. Although they are small, they are full of vitality. The spiritual energy swirls around them, forming a faint halo that is particularly eye-catching in the morning light.

The extraordinary phenomenon at the spirit field completely alarmed the entire academy!

"It moved! The land moved! The seeds sprouted!"

"How long has it been? It sprouted right after being planted? That's amazing!"

"Ordinary seeds might not sprout even after ten days or half a month, but his sprouted as soon as he was planted; it's practically a divine seed!"

The neighbors were completely stunned, staring wide-eyed at the tender sprouts in the spiritual field, their faces filled with disbelief. In this era of backward agricultural technology, crops grew slowly, requiring a long wait after planting seeds. Yet, Qin Lindong's seeds sprouted as soon as they were planted, which completely defied their understanding.

Yan Bugui squeezed to the front of the crowd, his small eyes fixed on the tender sprouts in the spiritual field, his mouth practically watering. He had been farming all his life and had never seen seeds grow so fast. His greed was almost overflowing, but he dared not go forward and could only scratch his head in frustration.

"A divine seed...it must be a divine seed...If I could get a few seeds, my family would never have to worry about food again..." Yan Bugui chanted frantically in his mind, but dared not make any move.

Yi Zhonghai stood to the side, his face so gloomy it could drip water. He watched the strange phenomenon in the spirit field and saw Qin Lindong's life getting better and better. His jealousy and resentment grew stronger, but he had just been suspended from his job at the factory for investigation and was in trouble himself. He dared not provoke Qin Lindong at all, so he could only clench his fists tightly and suppress his anger.

Liu Haizhong stood with his hands behind his back, looking thoughtful, but inside he was panicking. He wanted to reprimand Qin Lindong for illegally occupying land under the pretext of "public land," but when he thought of Qin Lindong's ruthlessness in knocking down Jia Dongxu with one punch, he immediately gave up the idea and could only silently retreat, pretending not to see anything.

Inside the Jia family's house, the family of three pressed their faces against the window, staring intently at Ling Tian, ​​their eyes burning with jealousy.

Madam Jia gritted her teeth: "Why! Why does he get such good seeds! They should have been ours!"

Qin Huairu's eyes were filled with complex emotions, and for the first time, a trace of regret arose in her heart. If she hadn't bullied Qin Lindong and stolen his food, would she be able to enjoy some of the fragrant spirit rice now? But there's no going back in life, and she could only silently bear the fear and remorse.

Jia Dongxu's face was deathly pale, and he felt utterly powerless. Not only was he being disciplined at work, but he couldn't even hold his head up in the courtyard. Faced with the increasingly powerful Qin Lindong, he couldn't even muster the thought of resisting.

He Yuzhu walked to the edge of the spirit field, looking at the tender sprouts breaking through the soil, his face full of amazement: "Brother, this is amazing! What kind of seed is this? It's growing so fast!"

Qin Lindong stood at the door and smiled faintly: "Just a special seed, nothing to mention."

He didn't explain further; some secrets didn't need to be known by everyone. Although He Yuzhu was an ally, the matter of the system concerned his greatest secret, which absolutely could not be revealed.

He Yuzhu, being sensible, didn't ask further questions, but sincerely praised, "No matter what kind of seed it is, it's a good thing in your hands! Brother, I'm impressed, you're amazing at everything!"

Nourished by spiritual energy, the tender shoots in the spiritual field grew at a visible speed. The pale green shoots continued to grow taller, their leaves unfurling, and spiritual energy swirled around them, making the extraordinary phenomenon increasingly apparent. From a distance, the spiritual field appeared to be enveloped in a pale green light, mysterious and magical.

Everyone in the courtyard was drawn to this strange phenomenon and gathered at a distance to watch, but no one dared to approach within three feet of the spirit field.

Qin Lindong, as if nothing had happened, returned to the house and continued cooking the spirit rice and egg porridge. Before long, the aroma of the porridge filled the air; the fragrance of the spirit rice mixed with the savory aroma of the eggs, making one's mouth water.

He ladled out a bowl, savored it gently. The rice was soft, sticky, and sweet, melting in his mouth. A gentle spiritual energy slid down his throat, into his dantian, and nourished his body.

[Ding! Host has consumed basic spiritual food; spiritual energy absorption complete!]

[Body Tempering Realm Level 3 progress +8%, currently 53%!]

[Points +100, current points: 2110!]

With his cultivation steadily improving, Qin Lin felt at peace.

The strange phenomenon at the spirit field alarmed the entire academy, yet no one dared to approach; this was the confidence that came with strength.

In this courtyard house, he is the rule, he is the reason!
