He fell off a cliff but unexpectedly gained a cultivation inheritance.

Zhang Bufan took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement, and turned to walk towards the peach grove. His hunger was already overwhelming; he just wanted to fill his stomach with spirit peaches as soon as possible. The peach grove was not far away, and its rich, sweet fragrance wafted on the breeze, making his stomach rumble.

Zhang Bufan walked a few steps to a peach tree laden with ripe spirit peaches. He stood on tiptoe and casually picked a large, red spirit peach. The peach was heavy, with a smooth, delicate skin covered in a thin layer of fuzz. He turned and walked to the lakeside, quickly rinsing the spirit peach a few times in the clear lake water to wash away the fuzz and dirt, then eagerly opened his mouth and took a bite.

"Crunch!" After a crisp sound, the juicy burst of flavor exploded in his mouth, the rich sweetness mixed with the refreshing aroma of peach blossoms sweeping over his taste buds. It was as exquisite as ever, without the slightest hint of tartness. Although this was only the second time he had eaten this kind of spirit peach, its unparalleled deliciousness still captivated him, making it impossible for him to stop eating.

In less than a minute, he had devoured a spirit peach the size of a fist, even licking the pit clean before throwing it away. However, after finishing the peach, Zhang Bufan found that his hunger had only been relieved by a little, leaving him only slightly full.

He was slightly taken aback, then realized—it must be because his physical condition had improved, which had increased his body's energy expenditure, naturally leading to a larger appetite. Three days ago, he was stuffed after eating a spirit peach of about the same size, but now one was barely enough to fill his stomach.

Without further hesitation, Zhang Bufan turned back to the peach tree, picked another ripe spirit peach, quickly washed it clean, and ate it heartily. After the second peach, the hunger in his stomach was finally relieved, reaching a comfortable state of seven or eight tenths full, and his body was once again filled with energy. "Now that I'm full, it's time to properly explore this secret realm," Zhang Bufan patted his stomach, his eyes becoming serious. He didn't know how long he would need to stay here to cultivate to the Foundation Establishment realm and leave after recognizing his storage ring. He needed to fully understand all the resources here beforehand and plan their use rationally to cultivate here for a longer period and avoid the predicament of resource scarcity.

Having made up his mind, Zhang Bufan didn't delay any longer and began his exploration of the entire secret realm. The moment he took a step, he felt the immense benefits of his enhanced physique—his legs seemed to be filled with explosive power, and with each stride, he leaped two or three meters, his speed several times faster than before. Overjoyed, Zhang Bufan quickened his pace, darting through the secret realm like a cheetah.

His senses had become exceptionally sharp due to his cultivation, allowing him to clearly hear every movement around him. Even when moving at high speed, he could easily avoid obstacles along the way. With his superhuman speed, Zhang Bufan completed a full tour of the entire secret realm in about two hours.

Before he began cultivating, with the physical abilities of an ordinary middle-aged man, it would have taken him at least two days to explore such a vast space. Now, however, he completed it with ease. This stark contrast made him once again appreciate the wonders of cultivation. After a thorough exploration, Zhang Bufan gained a very comprehensive understanding of this secret realm.

First, there was the tunnel he had initially entered through—he had walked for half a day before, but now, running at full speed, he discovered that the tunnel's actual length was about 15 kilometers. He specifically ran back and forth through the tunnel once, taking only about ten minutes in total, and that wasn't even at his full sprint.

In addition, he also tested his jumping ability and explosive power: with a powerful leap, he jumped more than five meters high, easily touching the highest branches of the peach orchard; taking a full step forward, he could jump more than ten meters, like a master of lightness skill in a martial arts novel; if he ran at full speed, the wind whistled in his ears and the surrounding scenery rushed past him, he estimated that his speed could probably catch up with a car traveling on the highway.

The core area of ​​the entire secret realm is an irregularly shaped, flattened hemispherical space with a diameter of about 5 kilometers. The outer edge of the space is covered with irregularly shaped stones of various sizes, sharp-edged and disorderly, which had consumed a lot of his time during the previous exploration. In the central area of ​​the space, within a radius of about one kilometer, lies the peach grove, wooden house, and small lake. The environment here is beautiful, and the spiritual energy is much richer than in the outer area.

Besides the central area, the space is surrounded by stalactite columns that are tens or even hundreds of meters thick, with different shapes. Some stand straight, while others meander and twist, like huge natural sculptures, dividing the outer space into several relatively independent small areas.

A clear stream, the lifeblood of this secret realm, flows across its entirety. Its source is a natural pool near one of the walls, from which springs gush forth clear water, eventually forming the stream. The stream meanders gently, flowing through the outer rocky area, entering the central region where it joins a small lake. From there, it flows out on the other side of the lake, finally disappearing into a narrow crevice beneath the rock wall at the other end of the realm, its destination unknown.

Zhang Bufan also discovered that the resources within the entire secret realm were far richer than he had imagined. Besides the peach grove by the stream, the central lake, the countless milky-white spirit stones embedded in the stone walls, and the thousands of large and small silver-white spirit fish swimming in the lake, the banks of the stream and the open spaces by the lake were also covered with various unknown wild grasses and flowers, as well as many herbs exuding a strong medicinal fragrance. These herbs had peculiar shapes, and their leaves faintly shimmered with spiritual light; they were clearly not ordinary things, and were most likely precious medicinal herbs for cultivating immortality.

To Zhang Bufan's surprise, after carefully exploring the entire secret realm, he found no trace of any other animals besides the silver fish in the small lake. There were no birds, no beasts, not even a single insect. The entire secret realm was unusually quiet, except for the rustling of leaves in the wind, the babbling of the stream, and the sound of his own footsteps, as if it were a pure world where only plants and water existed.

"Such abundant resources! This is practically a cultivation paradise tailor-made for me!" Zhang Bufan stood by the small lake, gazing at the beautiful scenery before him, his heart filled with joy. Spirit peaches could satisfy his hunger and replenish his spiritual energy, the spiritual spring water could nourish his meridians, spirit stones could be directly absorbed and refined, and spirit fish and herbs were also excellent cultivation aids. With these resources, he could cultivate here with complete peace of mind, without worrying about resource scarcity.

He took a deep breath of the rich spiritual energy, feeling the power flowing slowly within his body, his eyes filled with anticipation. Now, he had a thorough understanding of this secret realm. His next goal was to make the best use of these resources, cultivate with all his might, and improve his cultivation level as soon as possible. He believed that as long as he persevered, he would definitely be able to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm soon, recognize his storage ring as his master, open the exit of the secret realm, return to the mortal realm, and see his parents again.

With this in mind, Zhang Bufan stopped lingering and turned to walk towards the wooden house. He decided to return to the house first, organize the information he had gathered, formulate a detailed cultivation plan, and then begin his full-fledged cultivation. The light from the spirit stones on the cave ceiling shone on his tall figure, casting a long shadow that illuminated his hopeful path of cultivation.
