Courtyard House: My Time Travel is a Bit Too Strong

In the short time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Lin Quan had completely absorbed and refined the lightning power that had torn through the sky into his body.

The soul ring grew thicker and thicker, as black as ink, but its edges were quietly tinged with dark red, as if blood vessels were wandering and pulsating in the dim light.

His gaze shifted and landed on Li Hanyi beside him.

Just as Lin Quan leaped to become a Level 4 Awakener, Li Hanyi's flesh, bones, and cells were undergoing a violent yet precise reshaping—the old essence collapsed, and new essence surged forth, leaping forward at the critical point of destruction and rebirth, steadily stepping into the ranks of Level 4 Awakeners.

Qiao Jingjing and Wang Yuyan were both startled at the same time, as if drawn by an invisible force, and their gazes locked onto Li Hanyi.

Wang Yuyan paused, her voice so soft it was as if afraid of startling something: "Sister Hanyi... has it done too?"

"Yes." Qiao Jingjing nodded, her tone certain. "If nothing goes wrong, Sister Hanyi is now a genuine Level 4 Awakener."

"Hiss... It really worked!"

Seeing Qiao Jingjing's calm and unwavering gaze, Wang Yuyan opened her mouth, but swallowed her words before they could come out.

Time slipped by silently, and the surging aura emanating from Lin Quan and Li Hanyi slowly settled and solidified.

"Congratulations, my husband! Congratulations, my dear sister Hanyi!"

The two opened their eyes one after the other, and Qiao Jingjing and Wang Yuyan immediately stepped forward, smiling and offering their congratulations in a crisp and clear voice.

Lin Quan and Li Hanyi exchanged a glance, each examining their inner selves for a moment, and then simultaneously uttered, "A Level 4 Awakened... indeed, their aura is extraordinary."

Compared to Level 3, the change in this realm is nothing short of a complete transformation.

Lin Quan's lightning power has completely transformed into primordial-level power, its strength increasing several times over, and with every move he makes, the lightning has the power to tear through the void.

Li Hanyi's super regenerative ability was already astonishing before—if a severed limb was not completely destroyed, it would still need several hours of warming and nourishment to regenerate; now that she has reached the fourth level, severed arms and legs can be restored in an instant; even if her limbs are burned to ashes, she can reconstruct her tendons and muscles and promote the growth of flesh and blood with her willpower, and regenerate them!

Such restorative abilities far exceed the realm of common sense.

If we push the boundaries further, the idea of ​​being reborn from a drop of blood may not be a mere fantasy—it's just a matter of time before it comes to fruition.

At present, with her terrifying speed of growth alone, coupled with her profound foundation at the peak of the half-step Divine Realm, let alone opponents of the same level, even if she faces a true Divine Realm expert directly, as long as she is not killed in one blow, the outcome is still uncertain.

The slightest carelessness could drag her into a protracted battle, and even those who are lost in the realm of mysticism might be caught off guard and suffer a tragic counterattack.

"Congratulations, my husband! Congratulations to Sister Hanyi on advancing to Level 4 Awakened!"

Amidst their heartfelt congratulations, Lin Quan and Li Hanyi quickly calmed down.

After exchanging a few polite words, Lin Quan's gaze shifted slightly, landing on Qiao Jingjing and Wang Yuyan.

He didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point: "How many hidden caves have you opened so far?"

Thirty places.

"Twenty-five places."

The two answered crisply and without any pretense.

Lin Quan made a quick decision in his mind and nodded slightly.

We are only one step away from completing the thirty-six hidden burial sites.

Especially for Qiao Jingjing, there are only six places left to be opened—she will surely succeed within three to five days, or at most half a month.

When one truly masters the "Eternal Youth Scripture," even if one's cultivation level doesn't increase dramatically, one's true energy reserves will far exceed those of others of the same level by several times, or even ten times. Overpowering others of the same realm will be as easy as turning one's hand; competing against those of higher levels will also be no difficult task.

"Focus on your cultivation and make sure you open up all thirty-six hidden acupoints."

"You will remain in this realm to cultivate in seclusion for now. Han Yi and I will leave for a while."

"Once you've mastered the Scripture of Immortality, we'll return to the main world together and have a grand celebration..."

As soon as Lin Quan said this, Qiao Jingjing and Wang Yuyan exchanged a smile, their eyes showing no hesitation.

Then, Lin Quan and Li Hanyi secluded themselves for three days to refine their newly advanced realm, perfecting their aura to be harmonious and unifying, with their sharpness concealed.

On the morning of the third day, Lin Quan looked up at Qiao Jingjing and Wang Yuyan, who were sitting in meditation, and then his gaze shifted to Li Hanyi, who was adjusting her breathing.

"Han Yi, let's go."

Before he finished speaking, he reached out and grabbed her wrist—the two figures suddenly blurred, like ink drops falling into water, disappearing without a trace in an instant.

When she opened her eyes again, she was already in the familiar bluestone courtyard of the manor in the Heaven Dou City of the Martial Soul World.

"Brother Quan! Sister Hanyi!"

Zhu Zhuqing, who was helping her second sister Zhu Zhuyu concentrate on her internal energy, heard a slight rustling of wind beside her ear. She looked up abruptly and saw the two of them standing in mid-air. She was taken aback at first, her gaze momentarily lingering, but then she burst into laughter, her cheeks instantly flushing slightly.

Before the words were even finished, the person had already transformed into a swift black shadow, touching the ground silently with their toes, and in the blink of an eye, they had pounced into Lin Quan's arms.

A soft touch against his chest, strands of hair brushing against his neck, and Lin Quan felt a surge of heat in his heart, a slight rush of blood to his head.

He lowered his eyes and glanced at Zhu Zhuyu, who was still sitting cross-legged on the futon. Her face was seven parts similar to Zhu Zhuqing's, and her figure was more voluptuous and upright than her sister's. Her skin was like fresh snow and cream, glowing with a soft luster in the morning light. Her soul power fluctuations were steady and profound, clearly reaching the level of a fourth-ring Soul Master!

Lin Quan nodded calmly, a hint of approval quietly rising in his heart.

His gaze shifted back to the girl in his arms, and he trembled slightly—

Zhu Zhuqing has actually reached the peak of the Grandmaster level! She is only one step away from knocking on the threshold of becoming a Great Grandmaster!

What moved him even more was that, without the help of the Hundred Treasures Pill, she had managed to open up several hidden acupoints through hard work day and night; even her awakened superpower had reached the peak of level three, and she was only a thin veil away from becoming a level four awakener.

If we say that Wang Yuyan's talent is like a star falling from the heavens, unmatched by anyone;

Zhu Zhuqing, with her tenacity like iron bones taking root, grew upwards inch by inch.

Even with the crystal core cleansing her marrow and tendons, her current physical foundation is already on par with Qiao Jingjing and others; only her comprehension is slightly inferior to Wang Yuyan's—but even so, she has never relaxed in the slightest.

Cultivation is the rhythm of her breathing; becoming stronger is her instinctive obsession.

Lin Quan was about to ask about Zhu Zhuyun's recent situation when he suddenly stopped, his tongue twitching as he spoke.

If something had really gone wrong, Zhu Zhuqing would have been unable to contain herself and would have been the first to rush to him and tell him.

After a long while, he loosened his embrace, gently touching Zhu Zhuqing's brow with his fingertips, his voice gentle yet undeniable:

"The key to spiritual cultivation lies in gradual progress. If you stretch it too tightly, the string will break; if the fire is too strong, the elixir will burn..."

"When it's time to rest, you should rest."

Zhu Zhuqing looked up, her eyelashes fluttering slightly. She didn't say much, but nodded vigorously.

She nodded, but whether she listened or not... she knew exactly what to do.

Looking at her stubborn yet focused expression, Lin Quan opened his mouth, but ultimately sighed silently, swallowing back the rest of his advice.

"Let's change into some clean clothes and go for a walk—get some fresh air and stretch our muscles."

His gaze swept over the two sisters, his tone crisp and decisive, without the slightest hesitation.

Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Zhuyu exchanged a glance, asked no further questions, nodded in unison, and turned to pack up.

In a short while, the two had changed into simple, stylish clothes, tied their hair in high ponytails, and came out to greet them with light steps.
