Courtyard House: After disbanding the Elderly Care Gang, I went to the countryside to cultivate immo

"Full House of Love" is also known as "Full House of Beasts" by many Tomato netizens. He watched this show with his parents in his previous life and was deeply impressed by the beasts in it.

I never expected that I would transmigrate into this world and become a victim of bullying, the orphan of a martyr.

It is autumn of 1968, the most chaotic time of the year.

Schools were closed, factories were operating at half capacity, and people wearing red armbands were everywhere on the streets.

The original owner of this body was a coward because she was too timid to follow those red armbands around and cause trouble. She stayed in the courtyard every day, which made her a fat sheep in the eyes of some people.

We have to find a way to survive.

Lin Shengli sat back down on the edge of the bed and began to organize his thoughts.

In his past life, he was a programmer who worked 996 hours a day until he was thirty-five, when he suddenly died at his workstation. In this life, he doesn't want to live such a tiring life anymore.

But there is a more pressing issue right now: survival.

This month's allowance was stolen, there's no food at home, and I need nutrition after suffering a head injury.

Although He Yuzhu gave him two lunch boxes, he couldn't rely on Sha Zhu forever. Sha Zhu was completely controlled by Qin Huairu. The fact that he was able to get two lunch boxes today was thanks to Qin Huairu not waiting for Sha Zhu at the gate. Otherwise, Lin Shengli wouldn't have gotten a single one.

It's impossible to expect help from the people in the courtyard.

Regardless, let's solve the immediate problem first.

Lin Shengli opened the two lunchboxes that Sha Zhu had given him, and his eyes lit up. One box contained twice-cooked pork, and the other contained Mapo tofu. They looked so appetizing.

Lin Shengli went to the south room, got chopsticks, and wolfed down the food from the two lunchboxes in a few bites.

It got dark very quickly.

Lights gradually came on in each house in the courtyard, and the sounds of cooking, talking, and children crying could be heard.

Lin Shengli closed the door and bolted it.

The room was pitch black; he didn't light a lamp—he even had to conserve kerosene.

Sitting on the bed, he touched his neck, where something was hanging. He didn't remember the original owner of this body having this thing.

When I took it out and looked at it, I was taken aback. Wasn't this the thing I bought on a whim when I went to Liulichang over the weekend?

I spent 500 yuan when I bought it, and that was after haggling with the vendor for a long time over the price because the jade quality didn't look very good.

Lin Shengli, a later generation, simply bought it because he liked it, and then wore it close to his body, never taking it off even when taking a bath.

The jade pendant is made of ordinary white jade, oval in shape, with incomprehensible patterns carved on it.

Lin Shengli took off the jade pendant and examined it closely in the moonlight streaming in from the window.

He knew in his heart that this thing might be his cheat code.

Despite the pain, he gently lifted a little of the gauze from the back of his head, dabbed some blood with his finger, and smeared it on the jade pendant.

Strange things happened.

The blood was smeared on the surface of the jade pendant and quickly absorbed. The jade pendant emitted a faint white light, and the patterns on it seemed to come alive, flowing slowly.

"This is..."

Before Lin Shengli could react, the white light from the jade pendant suddenly surged, enveloping his entire body.

The world spun around.

When I opened my eyes again, he was no longer in the room.

Before me lay a hazy, gray space. The sky was leaden, there was neither sun nor moon, but a uniform light illuminated everything. Beneath my feet lay black earth, so fertile it seemed you could squeeze oil from it.

The space was small, about an acre in size, with a hazy mist around the edges, making it impossible to see what was outside.

Right in the center, there is a well.

Lin Shengli walked over. The wellhead was made of bluestone, and the well water was crystal clear with a faint green hue.

He squatted down and scooped up a handful of water.

The water felt cool to the touch and had a unique fragrance.

He hesitated for a moment, then took a sip.

Sweet.

An indescribable sweetness spread from the tip of the tongue throughout the entire body.

The pain from the wound on the back of my head subsided instantly, the weakness in my body also subsided, and my mind became unusually clear.

"A sacred spring?"

The word popped into Lin Shengli's mind.

He looked towards the well, where a stone tablet stood, and Lin Shengli reached out and touched it.

Suddenly, a message entered my mind:

[A blessed land, accessible only to those with the right destiny.]

Ten days here, one day outside.

A single sip of the sacred spring can cleanse the marrow and refine the body, nourishing all things.

[The first building in the mansion, containing a legacy, awaits your discovery.]

Time flow rate 10:1?

Lin Shengli's heart raced.

He looked to the other end of the space, where there was indeed a building.

With its green tiles and white walls, it exudes an antique charm, resembling a house in a Jiangnan garden. He walked over and pushed open the slightly ajar vermilion gate.

Inside was a small courtyard, with the main hall in the center and side rooms on either side. Above the door of the main hall hung a plaque with three large characters:

【Hun Yuan Mansion】

Push the door open and go inside.

The main room was simply furnished, with a low table in the center that resembled an altar, and a futon behind it.

A painting hangs on the wall, depicting an old man with an air of otherworldly wisdom, standing with his hands behind his back atop a cloud, overlooking the mountains and rivers.

Below the painting is an incense table with three items on it: a jade slip, a jade bottle, and a jade plaque.

Lin Shengli first picked up the jade slip and, based on his experience from the novels he had read in his previous life, stuck it on his forehead.

In an instant, the information in the jade slip surged into his brow like a torrent.

The Primordial Creation Scripture is an unparalleled cultivation method that can lead to the perfection of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. It encompasses everything, including alchemy, weapon crafting, talismans, formations, beast taming, and almost all branches of cultivation.

There are nine levels in the mortal realm cultivation techniques, corresponding to the nine realms of immortal cultivation: Qi Refining, Foundation Building, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Deity Transformation, Void Refining, Body Integration, Mahayana, and Tribulation Transcending.

The first level of the Qi Refining chapter is clearly presented: Qi Induction Techniques, Basic Spells, Body Refining Methods...

"Cultivating immortality..." Lin Shengli murmured to himself, feeling as if he were dreaming.

But the clear image of the cultivation technique in his mind and the lingering sweetness of the spiritual spring in his mouth both told him that it was real.

He picked up the jade bottle, opened the stopper, and inside were three pills, round and smooth like jade, emitting a delicate fragrance.

According to the information in the jade slip, Lin Shengli knew that this was a Marrow Cleansing Pill, which could improve physical condition and lay the foundation for one's cultivation after consumption.

Finally, there was the jade tablet. The jade slip also told him that this was the core of the cave, and that after refining it, he could completely control this space.

Without hesitation, Lin Shengli used the same method to apply some blood to the jade pendant.

The blood was absorbed, and the jade tablet transformed into a beam of light that entered his dantian.

In an instant, he felt a connection between himself and this space, able to perceive every inch of land and every breath.

With a thought, he "saw" the entire cave:

An acre of black soil, a spring of spiritual water, and a mansion.

This mansion doesn't look very big, but its main room can be used for daily cultivation. There is also a row of large cabinets in the main room, like a medicine cabinet in traditional Chinese medicine. Lin Shengli counted them and there were a total of 168 drawers. According to the information in the jade tablet, each of these drawers is about three zhang in length, width and height. Time will not pass inside, which is a good place to store things.

There are also some medicinal herbs from the cultivation world in the cabinet, but the level of the spiritual field is too low to plant these spiritual plants yet.

The west wing is a room for alchemy and weapon crafting. Inside is a large cauldron that can be used for both alchemy and weapon crafting, but Lin Shengli cannot use it for the time being.

Beyond the gray mist at the edge of space lay nothingness, but the information on the jade tablet told him that as his cultivation improved, his grotto-heaven could expand, and the level of his spiritual field could also be upgraded.

The time flow rate is indeed 10:1, and it can be adjusted; the current limit is ten times.

"Cultivate first."

He looked at the Marrow Cleansing Pill in the jade bottle, then left the space, put the bucket of water he had just fetched from the central courtyard that morning into the space, and then entered the space again. Without going into the mansion, he took off his clothes outside, took out a Marrow Cleansing Pill and swallowed it.

The pill melted instantly upon entering the mouth, transforming into a surge of heat that rushed through the limbs and bones. Intense pain followed, as if every bone was shattered and reassembled, every muscle torn and then healed.

Lin Shengli gritted his teeth and endured it, his clothes soaked with sweat, and black grime seeping from his body—impurities from his body.

The pain lasted for about fifteen minutes before gradually subsiding.

He used the water he had stored in his spatial dimension to wash his body, removing the black grime and revealing his jade-like skin.

After washing up, Lin Shengli put on his clothes and felt completely transformed.

He entered the main room, sat cross-legged on the futon, and began to cultivate according to the Qi-guiding technique of the Qi-refining chapter of the "Hun Yuan Zao Hua Jing".

As he circulated his cultivation technique, he felt a thin current of energy flowing into his body and circulating through his meridians. The spiritual energy emanating from the spiritual spring was particularly concentrated, accelerating his cultivation speed.

I don’t know how much time has passed—there is no day or night in the cave, but by the sense of time, about five hours have passed.

Lin Shengli opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of stale air.

One layer of Qi refinement, done.

He stood up and felt a tremendous change in his body. The wound on the back of his head had completely healed, leaving no scar.

Vision, hearing, and smell are all enhanced; one can see the wood grain on the beams of the main hall and hear faint sounds coming from outside the cave (the real world).

His strength also increased greatly. He clenched his fist, and the sense of power was fascinating.

"This is cultivation..."
