Courtyard House: The Cultivation System Takes Me Flying

Once a celestial abode of the highest level is completed, the effect of accelerating cultivation is immediately apparent.

The spiritual energy, so dense it was almost liquid, permeated every corner of the cave. With each breath, the spiritual energy automatically entered the body, and without deliberate guidance, cultivation levels steadily increased. Coupled with the nourishment of Qin Lindong's Golden Core Daoist essence day and night, the cultivation speed of everyone in the academy was comparable to that of someone who had taken a supreme elixir.

In just three days.

He Yuzhu's foundation was solid, and Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong broke through one after another, entering the Foundation Establishment Realm.

The two elderly people had lived ordinary lives, but their frail bodies were completely reshaped by spiritual energy. Their white hair turned black, their wrinkles disappeared, they walked with agility, and their energy and spirit were as vigorous as those of middle-aged people. Every gesture they made carried an air of otherworldly grace.

The scheming and power struggles of the past have long since vanished; now, only reverence, peace, and contentment remain in my heart.

Immediately afterwards, Qin Huairu also made a successful breakthrough.

Her water-attribute spiritual energy was as gentle as water, making her temperament even more ethereal and graceful. Her face was beautiful, and her skin was radiant, making her seem completely different from the ordinary woman she once was. Her Foundation Establishment cultivation was stable and solid, and her mind was clear and free from any inner demons.

The four members of the Jia family also broke through one after another under the blessing of the cave and the invisible protection of Qin Lindong.

Jia Dongxu's wood-attribute spiritual energy nourished his body and mind, sweeping away his listlessness; Jia Zhangshi reformed herself and diligently cultivated, stabilizing her earth-attribute spiritual energy; even the usually inconspicuous Jia Geng, under the influence of what he saw and heard, began to draw energy into his body and made steady progress.

The family completely shed their worldly vices, became law-abiding, focused on spiritual cultivation, and never again indulged in their past absurdities.

At this point, everyone in the courtyard had entered the Foundation Establishment stage!

A Foundation Establishment cultivator in one prefecture—such a lineup would be a formidable force even in the true cultivation world.

Moreover, behind them is an unparalleled immortal master at the Golden Core realm, who oversees a grotto-heaven level immortal abode—Qin Lindong.

[Ding! Detection shows all cultivators in the entire academy have broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage, and the Immortal Abode's cohesion has reached its peak!]

[Achievement Unlocked: Foundation Building in Full Swing]

[Host reward: Golden Core Realm Level 1 (100%), ready to break through to Golden Core Realm Level 2 at any time]

[Reward to the entire academy: Foundation Establishment Stabilization buff, lifespan increased by 500 years, free from calamities and tribulations]

The concentration of spiritual energy in the immortal abode has increased again, and the rate at which spiritual objects automatically generate has accelerated.

Om-!

Qin Lin moved his dantian, and his golden core trembled violently.

The golden Dao patterns surged, and the originally perfect first level of the Golden Core Realm directly reached its peak. It was only a slight opportunity away from stepping into the second level of the Golden Core Realm.

His Undying Battle Body has been further enhanced, and his physical strength far surpasses that of other Golden Core cultivators of the same level. Even Golden Core experts at the second or third level cannot harm him in the slightest.

The spiritual sense spanning thirty thousand miles is showing signs of expansion; with a mere thought, one can perceive all the movements across the entire North China Plain.

He slowly opened his eyes, a flash of golden light appearing briefly, his gaze as deep and unfathomable as the starry sky.

The entire academy is under construction, the grotto is secure, and it is invincible among mortals; everything is developing in the best possible direction.

He Yuzhu bowed first, his voice respectful and loyal:

"Congratulations, Immortal Master, your cultivation has greatly improved!"

"Thanks to the Immortal Lord's great blessing, all of us in this academy have achieved Foundation Establishment. We swear to protect the Immortal Abode with our lives and never betray it!"

Yan Bugui, Liu Haizhong, Qin Huairu, and others also bowed respectfully.

"We swear to follow our Immortal Lord to the death and protect the Eternal Immortal Abode!"

The sounds were synchronized and resounded throughout the cave.

All the Foundation Establishment cultivators in the prefecture knelt in worship, creating a solemn and dignified scene.

This was not forced, but rather stemmed from heartfelt reverence and gratitude.

Without Qin Lindong, they would be nothing more than ordinary people struggling to survive in the mortal world, worrying about firewood and rice, fearing birth, aging, sickness and death, living no more than a hundred years, and eventually turning into a handful of yellow earth.

Now, having successfully established their foundations, their lifespans have greatly increased. They reside in a celestial paradise, carefree and with the prospect of immortality.

All of this was thanks to Qin Lindong.

Qin Lindong gently raised his hand, and a gentle spiritual energy lifted everyone up:

"No oaths are needed. Within this academy, there will be no strife or fighting. Peaceful cultivation is the best way to repay me."

From this day forward, you are all cultivators of immortality. Guard your hearts and minds, do not stray into the mortal realm, and do not harbor evil thoughts.

"We will remember the Immortal's teachings!" the crowd responded in unison.

With the foundations of the entire courtyard laid and the cavern secure, Qin Lindong felt a sense of peace.

He spread his spiritual senses and once again surveyed the mortal world.

Within the capital, the social atmosphere was upright, the people lived in peace and contentment, the number of virtuous people increased, and the number of wicked people disappeared.

Everyone kept the Immortal Lord's rules in mind and dared not disobey them in the slightest.

Outside Nanluoguxiang, people still kneel in an endless stream, yet in an orderly fashion, with no one disturbing the peace of the celestial abode.

In the mortal world, no power can threaten the Eternal Immortal Abode.

Mortal force, artillery, weaponry, and intrigue are like dust before a Foundation Establishment cultivator, a Golden Core cultivator, or a grotto-heaven.

It can be said that from the moment the entire academy began its foundation work...

In the mortal world, in the eternal immortal abode, there is no rival!

Qin Lindong stood up and walked slowly into the cave.

The valley is fragrant with the scent of spirits, the lake shimmers with gold, the bamboo sways gently, and the herbs grow everywhere.

At the bottom of the spirit lake, the guardian beast egg trembled slightly, its gestation growing stronger; in the spirit fields, the spirit grains ripened automatically, piling up like mountains, inexhaustible; in the courtyard, everyone cultivated in an orderly manner, filled with laughter and joy, peaceful and harmonious.

This is the life he wants.

There was no war, no strife, and no suffering.

It has a hidden paradise, a spiritual atmosphere, and a sense of peace.

There is a group of harmonious people who cultivate together and strive for immortality.

He Yuzhu is now a Foundation Establishment cultivator and feels a great responsibility, so he took the initiative to take on the responsibility of guarding the entrance to the cave.

He was surrounded by fiery spiritual energy, exuding an imposing aura without anger. Even just standing there was enough to intimidate all the petty mortals.

With him guarding the entrance, no one from the outside dared to harbor any wild thoughts.

Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong, the two old men, put aside all worldly thoughts and devoted themselves to tending the spiritual fields and tending the spiritual herbs, keeping the cave in good order.

They contributed to the Immortal Abode in their own way, finding fulfillment and satisfaction in their hearts.

The meticulous calculations and power struggles of the past seem utterly laughable in the face of longevity and stability.

Qin Huairu and her three children lived a life of cultivation in the grotto.

Nourished by the water-attribute spiritual energy, she became increasingly gentle and virtuous, managing the courtyard life in a warm and harmonious manner.

Under the spiritual energy of the cave and the invisible protection of Qin Lindong, the three children's intelligence was greatly enhanced, their cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds, and they lived a carefree and innocent childhood, truly enjoying a fairy-like childhood.

The four members of the Jia family were law-abiding, diligent in their work, and quietly cultivated themselves.

They were well aware of their past mistakes, and that having such an opportunity was a great blessing. They dared not slack off in the slightest, and only wished to live peacefully in the immortal palace and make amends for their past.

Inside the grotto, there was a peaceful and idyllic scene reminiscent of immortals.

The outside world, with its mundane customs, is filled with awe and reverence.

Qin Lindong walked to the edge of Linghu Lake, gazing at the sun, moon, and stars reflected on the lake's surface, a faint smile appearing on his lips.

The entire academy is built upon a solid foundation, making it invincible among ordinary people.

The golden elixir is about to be broken, and the grotto-heaven will remain forever.

Peaceful times, longevity is within reach.

With a thought, he stopped suppressing his cultivation.

Within his dantian, the golden core trembled violently, golden Dao patterns surged, and the barrier of the first level of the Golden Core realm shattered in response.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, on successfully breaking through to the second level of the Golden Core Realm!]

[Spiritual Awareness Range: 50,000 li in radius]

Lifespan: 15,000 years

[Indestructible Battle Body: Peak Golden Core Level]

[Immortal Abode Grotto: Automatically expanded by 10%, spiritual energy increased again]

A more powerful, vast, and gentle aura slowly spread out.

The grotto trembled slightly and expanded once more, with the spiritual herbs and trees growing even more luxuriantly and the spiritual lake becoming even wider.

Under the influence of this aura, everyone in the academy achieved a more stable Foundation Establishment cultivation and a clearer state of mind.

Outside the city, within a territory spanning 50,000 li, countless people simultaneously felt a sense of awe and spontaneously knelt in the direction of Nanluoguxiang.

The Immortal Lord breaks through again, and his immortal might descends upon the mortal realm once more!

Qin Lindong stood with his hands behind his back at the top of the cave, looking down upon the mortal world.

At the second level of the Golden Core stage, the celestial realm is eternal, the entire academy is established, and one is invincible among mortals.

In the years to come, all that is needed is quiet contemplation, peace, and longevity.

The path to immortality is long and smooth, with no further obstacles ahead.

As the sun sets, the stars appear ahead of time above the grotto.

The air is filled with the fragrance of the sacred valley, the lake murmurs gently, and everyone cultivates in peace and tranquility.
