Courtyard House: The Cultivation System Takes Me Flying

The spiritual and auspicious phenomena and peaceful tranquility of the siheyuan (traditional courtyard houses) are no secret.

As Qin Lindong's cultivation continued to break through and his spiritual fields continued to upgrade, the spiritual energy emitted by the fifth-order spiritual valley became increasingly rich. Glowing clouds and spiritual mist often appeared in the sky. Such a miraculous sight could no longer be hidden. As if it had grown wings, it spread throughout Nanluoguxiang and the entire capital city.

At first, it was just the residents of the nearby alleys who heard that a strange person with "divine power" lived in the courtyard house. They were skeptical, but whenever they passed by the courtyard house, they could feel the fresh and sweet air, which made them feel comfortable and refreshed. They couldn't help but believe it.

Gradually, the news spread wider and wider, becoming increasingly exaggerated.

Some say that Manager Qin of the courtyard house was a celestial being who descended to earth to experience life.

Some say that Qin Lindong possesses divine abilities, capable of growing celestial food, healing the sick and saving lives, and deterring evildoers;

Some people say that everyone who lives in a courtyard house will live a long and healthy life, free from illness and disaster.

Some say that anyone who provokes Qin Lindong will be punished by heaven and suffer a miserable end.

The legend of the extraordinary man spread like wildfire through the streets and alleys of the capital, becoming a hot topic of conversation among everyone.

From high-ranking officials to ordinary people, everyone knows that at No. 95 Nanluoguxiang, lives a mysterious and powerful man named Qin Lindong.

Countless people were filled with curiosity and wanted to go to the courtyard to find out what was going on, to visit Qin Lindong, and to ask for immortal food, spiritual energy, and protection.

There are wealthy merchants who are willing to pay exorbitant prices just to get a bowl of spirit grain porridge;

High-ranking officials and nobles sent people to visit him, hoping to make friends with this extraordinary person;

A person suffering from a serious illness brought his family to the entrance of the courtyard house and knelt down to beg Qin Lindong to treat his illness;

Curious young people wanted to come and see the extraordinary person.

For a time, people came and went in an endless stream at the entrance of the courtyard house.

But none of these people could get even a step closer to the courtyard house.

Qin Lindong's spiritual sense had already covered a radius of a thousand miles, and he knew immediately if anyone approached. He did not want to be disturbed by worldly affairs or entangled with irrelevant people, so he gently mobilized a wisp of spiritual energy to set up an invisible barrier around the courtyard.

This barrier, invisible and intangible to ordinary people, subconsciously makes them detour around it, inspiring awe and preventing them from approaching the courtyard gate.

No matter how many people come, no matter how many people try to break in, they can only stop at the entrance of the alley, looking at the direction of the courtyard house from afar, unable to get close at all.

Some people refused to believe the evil spirits and insisted on going forward, but as soon as they got close, they felt an invisible force pushing them away, their bodies went weak, and they were filled with fear, so they dared not go forward again.

Over time, no one dared to forcibly approach the courtyard house anymore; they could only observe from afar, their sense of awe growing ever stronger.

"That's incredible! We couldn't even get close!"

"Truly an extraordinary person, possessing divine abilities!"

"Let's not bother you, lest we get ourselves into trouble."

The crowd discussed among themselves, but could only leave in awe.

The reputation of the extraordinary Qin Lindong grew even more prominent, mysterious, and awe-inspiring in the capital.

The legend had already spread throughout the steel rolling mill.

The factory director, leaders, and workers all looked at Qin Lindong with awe and admiration.

They previously only knew that Qin Lin was capable and prestigious, but now they realized that this young workshop director was no ordinary person, but a remarkable individual with extraordinary abilities.

From then on, everyone in the steel rolling mill treated Qin Lindong with even greater respect, not daring to even breathe loudly, for fear of offending this extraordinary man.

Qin Lindong paid no attention to these rumors and visits.

For him, fame, awe, and adulation in the mortal world were meaningless.

He continued to live his life as usual, practicing meditation, going to work, tending his spiritual field, and spending time with his neighbors, peaceful and undisturbed.

With his spiritual senses spread out, he could see everything happening within a thousand miles. The hustle and bustle, rumors, curiosity, and awe of the capital city could not affect him in the slightest.

He was like a dormant dragon, hidden in a small courtyard, untouched by worldly affairs or noise, guarding his own peaceful corner.

Upon hearing the rumors circulating in the capital, He Yuzhu chuckled and said to Qin Lindong:

"Brother, now the whole capital knows you're an extraordinary person, you've become a god!"

Qin Lindong smiled faintly: "I'm just an ordinary person."

"An ordinary person?" He Yuzhu's eyes widened. "What ordinary person can grow immortal food? What ordinary person commands the awe of the entire capital? Only you are so humble!"

The neighbors in the courtyard house had also heard the rumors about the capital, and felt both proud and at ease.

They were proud to live in a courtyard guarded by a remarkable person;

They are safe and sound; with Qin Lindong around, no trouble will come knocking.

Upon hearing the rumors, the four members of the Jia family felt even more awe and relief.

I'm glad I didn't completely offend Qin Lindong, and I'm glad I can live in this courtyard and receive the protection of this extraordinary person.

Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong were deeply moved. They had never imagined in their entire lives that they could be neighbors with a "banished immortal" and receive such good fortune.

The capital was shaken, and the extraordinary man became famous throughout the world, but Qin Lindong continued to live a peaceful life.

The hustle and bustle of the world is irrelevant to him;

The world's awe and reverence are of no concern to him.

He simply guarded the tranquil space of the courtyard house, and lived a peaceful and stable life amidst the quiet years.

Cultivation, strength, stability, and fulfillment—that's enough.

[Ding! The host has become a recognized extraordinary person in the capital, and their reputation in the mortal world has reached its peak!]

[Reward: Foundation Establishment Realm Level 3 progress +8%! Current progress: 48%!]

[The quality of the spirit field has improved slightly again, increasing spirit energy output by 20%!]

As the system notification faded, Qin Lindong remained completely unmoved.

No matter how high one's reputation, it's not as good as a bowl of spiritual porridge in a courtyard house, not as good as a neighbor's words of well-being, and not as good as a little progress in spiritual practice.

In the end, the mundane world is but fleeting smoke.

In his heart, there is only peace, only spiritual practice, and only eternal tranquility.
