Courtyard House: Wudang Disciple Sweeps Through the Compound

Chen Wenqi gazed at his younger sister's expectant and charming face, a gentle smile involuntarily spreading across his lips. He responded softly, "No problem. If our little Sisi wants to learn, I'll teach you all my skills, no matter what they are."

The younger brother, Chen Wenzi, and the younger sister, Chen Wensi, have both taken the Yi Jing Marrow Cleansing Pill. Although this pill only has eight-tenths of the effect of the dose taken by Chen Wenqi, after being fully absorbed and refined, the two children's physiques have far surpassed those of ordinary children of the same age.

While the two children are still young and their bones and meridians are still developing vigorously, teaching them some basic martial arts moves for self-defense and safety is indeed a very necessary and good thing.

After all, whether it's this shady, unpredictable courtyard house or this turbulent era, having more self-defense capabilities means having more security for a peaceful life.

Before long, it was afternoon. The two little ones had been running and playing wildly in the yard for most of the day, and were already panting and sweating profusely. Seeing this, Chen Wenqi told them to go back inside and take a nap to rest.

After settling his younger siblings in, Chen Wenqi returned to his room alone. With a slight thought, he vanished from his spot and entered his own Xuanwu Secret Realm.

Upon entering the Xuanwu Secret Realm, Chen Wenqi immediately began to carefully examine the overall planning and construction progress of the current secret realm.

Inside this Xuanwu Secret Realm, each of the eight major grain crops—rice, wheat, corn, sorghum, potatoes, sweet potatoes, peanuts, and soybeans—has been allocated a dedicated planting area of ​​one hundred acres, planned in an extremely orderly and systematic manner.

The fruit tree planting area currently only plans to grow three varieties: apples, grapes, and watermelons. Chen Wenqi has only allocated three acres of land for seedling cultivation so far, and the planting scale is not very large.

In addition, common vegetables such as radishes, cabbage, cauliflower, pumpkin, green beans, eggplant, and cucumbers are also planted in separate plots, making the variety quite complete and diverse.

At this moment, in the fields of the secret realm, seedlings of various crops have sprouted from the soil and are growing vigorously in the rich spiritual energy unique to the secret realm. With a growth rate ten times that of the outside world, it won't be long before Chen Wenqi's family no longer has to worry about food and drink.

In the poultry breeding area, chickens, ducks, geese, and pigeons, all common poultry, have laid a nest of eggs. Thanks to the unique natural environment of the Xuanwu Secret Realm, these eggs will hatch into lively and adorable chicks in about two days.

The fish fry released into the pond have grown significantly larger than before. With a slight thought, Chen Wenqi issued a clear instruction to the Secret Realm System: when the fish in the pond reach their peak tenderness and plumpness, the system will automatically execute the harvesting and processing procedures and properly store the processed fish in the Secret Realm warehouse.

However, the pond currently only raises freshwater fish. Chen Wenqi secretly thought that if he had the opportunity to go to Tianjin in the future, he would definitely import a batch of seafood seedlings and specially open up a seawater aquaculture pond.

Looking at the vibrant and increasingly abundant Xuanwu Secret Realm before him, Chen Wenqi felt an indescribable sense of accomplishment.

It was only at this moment that he suddenly remembered the several mysterious boxes that had been salvaged from outside, as well as some other scattered items, which he had not yet had time to sort out carefully.

With a slight thought, the items that had been temporarily placed in the corner of the secret realm were automatically cleaned up and arranged neatly in front of him.

After careful inventory and verification, Chen Wenqi was surprised to find that the first antique wooden box he found was filled with thirty-eight large yellow croakers, each of which was cast according to the standard weight of 312 grams, which, in the old system, was exactly ten taels of gold per piece.

Among the other two boxes, the smaller one contained one hundred and sixty gold ingots, each weighing ten taels. Such a substantial gold reserve made Chen Wenqi a real windfall.

The larger box was filled with brand-new silver dollars. Although these silver dollars were difficult to use directly in the current market, if they were traded on the black market, there would definitely be knowledgeable people willing to pay a high price to buy them. Moreover, in the long run, they would inevitably have a lot of room for appreciation.

In addition to the gold and silver valuables, there were two pistols and a rifle, all tightly wrapped in moisture-proof cloth and relatively well preserved.

Due to prolonged storage, the surfaces of these three firearms are covered with thick rust, making them appear almost unusable.

However, in the special environment of the Xuanwu Secret Realm, Chen Wenqi only needed to think to completely remove the rust from the three guns, restoring their original shiny metallic luster.

Chen Wenqi skillfully disassembled the three guns one by one, carefully inspected the condition of each internal part, and then reassembled them in an orderly manner.

Upon inspection, it was found that the wooden stock of the rifle was severely damaged and could no longer be used. It was necessary to find a piece of hard, good wood and make a new stock to replace it.

The metal parts of the two pistols were intact and their performance remained highly reliable. Unfortunately, the accompanying bullets were completely unusable due to moisture and corrosion. If the pistols were to be used for self-defense in the future, the pistols would need to be replaced.

Chen Wenqi secretly planned that when he had free time next time, he would definitely go to the black market to see if he could find some suitable bullets.

Afterwards, he carefully selected several precious medical books from the secret library, and with a thought, he instantly returned to his room.

Back in his room, Chen Wenqi immediately opened the medical books he had selected and began to read them attentively. He planned to finish reading all the medical books on the first floor of the library as soon as possible, first relying on his special ability to memorize everything he read, and then gradually integrating them into his understanding through practical application.

Throughout the afternoon, Chen Wenqi diligently read more than a dozen medical books. Although he had not yet fully digested and absorbed them, nor had he been able to integrate them completely, he had firmly memorized all the contents and was just waiting to consolidate and improve them through actual clinical application.
