I, Yan Jiefang, will live to 2025 in this courtyard house.

It wasn't quiet outside; firecrackers would go off every now and then.

Yan Jiefang sat down at the octagonal table, looked around, and then, with a thought, used the super critical hit chance he had just gained to launch a critical hit.

[You have successfully landed a super critical hit on "Changchun Gong". Please select from the following options.]

11,000 copies of "Changchun Gong"

[2. 1 copies of "Purple Cloud Divine Skill"] (A mid-to-high-level martial arts technique in a low-level martial arts world. It can absorb morning glow to increase cultivation speed. If one has enough talent, one can cultivate it to the Innate Realm.)

【3. 1 copies of "Innate Skill"】(A supreme internal skill of Taoism in a low-level martial arts world, capable of gathering the innate primordial energy of heaven and earth, reflecting the innate nature. Cultivation requires maintaining a virgin body, and may eventually reach the supreme realm of oneness with heaven and man.)

【4. Ten volumes of "Shaoqing Secret Records"】(Mysterious classics, belonging to the basic part of the "Four Pure Ones" secret manuals. They were adapted by the three elders of Emei based on the incomplete Three Pure Ones Treasure Seal. They are top-level Qi Refining stage techniques, and can be cultivated to the highest level of Qi Refining Perfection.)

【5. A copy of the "White Sun True Scripture"】(Legend has it that it is the "Number One Foundation Building Technique" of Mount Shu. After practicing it, one can comprehend the White Sun Flying Escape Technique and the White Sun Flying Sword Technique. The highest level one can cultivate is the Perfect Foundation Building Technique.)

Choose the "White Yang True Scripture"!

Following Yan Jiefang's choice, a jade book appeared in his personal space.

Those who have read cultivation novels know that in today's fantasy world, secret manuals cannot possibly be recorded in ordinary paper books.

Most of them are engraved with a certain artistic conception in the jade slip tube, and when studying, you only need to stick it on your forehead.

As a former avid bookworm, Yan Jiefang naturally knew about this subject.

He took the jade book out of his spatial storage and then placed it on his forehead.

The icy sensation imprinted itself on his mind, followed by a flood of images and textual information entering his memory.

Among these messages are 365 patterns that imitate the forms of birds, beasts, insects, and fish, which correspond to the numbers of the heavens.

By simply learning according to these patterns, one can gradually cultivate spiritual power and comprehend the two magical skills, White Sun Flying Escape Technique and White Sun Flying Sword Technique.

As the information was fully disseminated, the jade book in Yan Jiefang's hand vanished as specks of light.

This disappointed him greatly, as he was hoping to continue taking advantage of the situation.

He originally wanted to pass on this technique to his three children, but that wish fell through, and it seems he can only wait until later.

As for writing it out directly?

This is a thought that only mortals who do not understand the mysteries of cultivating immortality would have.

Because without the corresponding spirit, even if what you write is very similar, it is nothing more than useless scraps of paper, similar to ordinary calligraphy and painting.

There's simply no way to learn.

Moreover, this manual contains so much information that it would take countless years to write it all down.

Yan Jiefang wouldn't bother with that.

Moreover, one cannot cultivate immortality without spiritual energy.

This courtyard world is a Dharma-ending world devoid of spiritual energy.

Under normal circumstances, Yan Jiefang felt that he had learned this technique in vain.

Even someone like him, who has the phrase "Heaven rewards diligence, and one certificate is eternal proof," is definitely capable of cultivating.

But you might not be able to master anything in your entire life.

Next time, I'll try using super critical hits on some top-tier jade stones to see if I can get some spirit stones or spirit jade for cultivation!

At present, this is the only method he can think of.

In a world like Siheyuan, which is in the Dharma-ending Age, probably only someone like him who has two systems working together can cultivate immortality.

(Brothers, now you know why the protagonist chose 1, 5, or 6 at the start, haha)

I glanced at my personal panel and saw that I had 0/100 in the "Baiyang True Scripture" (I can learn the Baiyang Flying Escape Technique and the Baiyang Flying Sword Technique).

This technique does exist on the user panel, but the experience level is only zero.

It seems we need to put the matter of spirit stones on the agenda as soon as possible.

In addition, due to the nature of the Dharma-ending Age, it is possible to obtain the "Purple Cloud Divine Skill" later on, depending on the situation, and let the three sons practice it first.

If they can successfully cultivate, they will also be little superhumans in this world, and their self-protection ability will definitely be greatly improved.

When they grow up and go out into the world, Yan Jiefang will feel much more at ease.

The eldest brother is alright; he seems quite stable and doesn't require much attention from them.

But the second and third sons are no pushovers.

These two guys, relying on their height and strength, have caused him a lot of trouble.

Many of the lazy students at school have been taught a lesson by them.

Now they've become the ringleaders of the gang at Black Sesame Alley Elementary School, and a whole bunch of elementary school students follow them around.

Even many students from the neighboring Houyuan Temple Elementary School had heard of them.

Many young girls admire them greatly.

Yan Jiefang gets a headache just thinking about those two lads.

The only consolation is that they haven't fallen behind in their studies; they're both first in their respective grades.

In the days that followed, Yan Jiefang would set aside an hour each day to practice the "Baiyang True Scripture".

Just as he predicted, the progress was extremely slow, and the results were almost invisible.

It wasn't until a hundred days later that a trace of spiritual power finally appeared in his body.

The skill "Baiyang Zhenjing" also increased from 0/100 to 1/100.

What frustrated him even more was that this wisp of spiritual energy seemed to always want to drift away from his body.

It's estimated that if it weren't for the fact that he had a permanent certificate suppressing it, this bit of spiritual power would have disappeared long ago!

It seems that even if there are enough spirit stones in the future, the children will still not be able to cultivate.

After all, once you've cultivated even a little bit of spiritual energy, it will all disappear, so how can you continue cultivating?

...

Everything was peaceful and stable on Yan Jiefang's side, and his life was thriving.

Quite a few things happened at No. 95 Courtyard.

First of all, this good-for-nothing boy, Bang Geng, although he got a job as a fitter apprentice in a steel rolling mill thanks to his mother Qin Huairu's efforts.

But he didn't work properly at all; he spent all his time hanging out with his colleagues.

He has absolutely no technical skills; after six or seven years, he's still only a first-class worker.

He was similar to Jia Dongxu in many courtyard novels, who remained a first-class worker until his death.

This time, it's gotten worse; it's passed directly to his son.

The two sisters, Xiaodang and Huaihua, also couldn't concentrate on their studies. After graduating from junior high school, they were also put into jobs at the steel rolling mill by Qin Huairu.

I'm currently working as a kitchen helper in the cafeteria, and life is pretty good.

These three were lucky; Qin Huairu managed to get them jobs at the steel rolling mill, making them workers and saving them from being sent to the countryside.

The deaf old woman in the backyard died a few years ago.

Because Yan Jiefang, the time traveler, didn't cause her any trouble, she was able to die a natural death.

It's much better than many traditional courtyard houses.

As long as this old deaf woman hadn't offended Yan Jiefang, Yan Jiefang would have forgotten about her long ago.

Otherwise, a cerebral hemorrhage would be inevitable.

Liu Haizhong has also retired and now lives a childless life with his wife.

They are usually left unattended.

After working for free at the East Suburbs Crematorium for a period of time, Liu Guangfu was noticed by the leaders of the crematorium and joined the crematorium family.

To become a crematorium worker as honorable as Liu Guangqi.

The two brothers lived quite comfortably at the crematorium.

After all, this job isn't tiring and the benefits are good, so it's a pretty good job.

Many people in later generations wanted to get into the crematorium but didn't have a way to do so!

Yan Bugui, that old fellow, has been retired for several years now, and he goes fishing by the lake whenever he has free time.

But his "skills" are lacking, so he basically misses the test every time!

The main problem is that he's too stingy and unwilling to use good bait, so naturally no fish bite.
