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

[You have successfully obtained a top-quality Xinjiang Hetian jade through a super critical hit. Please select from the following options.]

10,000 pieces of top-quality Xinjiang Hetian jade

【2. 1 low-grade spirit stones】(The most common spirit stones in the cultivation world, containing a lot of spiritual energy. Depending on the cultivation level, cultivation method, and spiritual root talent, they can support a Qi Refining disciple's cultivation for 0.1 to 10 days and increase the cultivation speed by 1 to 10 times.)

【3. 1 mid-grade spirit stones】(High-quality spirit stones that are not common in the cultivation world. They contain a large amount of pure spiritual energy. Depending on the cultivation level, cultivation method, and spiritual root talent, they can support a Qi Refining disciple's cultivation for 10 to 1000 days and increase the cultivation speed by 3 to 30 times. They are usually the cultivation resources of Foundation Establishment and Golden Core cultivators.)

Special note: If you do not have a spiritual root, the effect of a spirit stone will be reduced by 10 times from the minimum!

【4、...】(The basic critical hit system has reached its limit and can no longer deliver critical hits)

【5、...】

Choose option 3.

As Yan Jiefang finished speaking, a hundred medium-grade earth-attribute spirit stones, roughly the size of hawthorn berries, appeared out of thin air in his personal space, replacing the Hetian jade pebble that had been destroyed by the critical hit.

Even with Yan Jiefang's composure, which remains unchanged even if Mount Tai collapses before him, he couldn't suppress his joy this time and almost cried out.

Last year, I practiced for a full 365 days!

After so much cultivation, he has only managed to improve the "White Yang True Scripture" from 0/100 to 2/100!

The first piece of experience took him a hundred days, but the second one took him two hundred days!

The third point is unclear; it's either 300 days or 400 days.

If we leave him alone and he continues to cultivate like this, he may never reach 20/100 in his entire life!

He might only ever be a cultivator at the first or second level of Qi Refining before he dies!

This is even after he has been practicing for an hour every day!

If you only work sporadically, it will be a long and uncertain process.

Now that he has a mid-grade spirit stone, his cultivation speed must take off!

Thinking about all this, Yan Jiefang took out a spirit stone and held it in his palm, beginning his first cultivation using a spirit stone.

He clearly felt the difference after practicing this.

One could clearly sense wisps of spiritual energy flowing from his palms into his body.

This greatly accelerated the formation of spiritual energy within his body.

Although there are no specific figures, he believes that his current cultivation speed is definitely dozens of times faster than before!

When he wasn't paying attention, the spiritual energy in the high-grade spirit stone in his palm seemed about to dissipate, but it was stopped by some unknown force.

This cultivation lasted for several hours, until dawn broke outside.

Yan Jiefang finished his practice and put the spirit stone back into his spatial storage.

He opened the panel and glanced at it. The original skill level was 2/100, but after this training, it directly became 3/100.

This night's cultivation might be equivalent to the past one or two hundred days, or even two or three hundred days.

He didn't know the exact amount, but it would definitely be soon.

"Dad, Happy New Year! I'm here to wish you a Happy New Year!"

Yan Jiefang's thoughts were interrupted by the voice of his second son, Yan Xueheng.

He looked at his son, a slight smile appearing on his face:

"Xueheng, Happy New Year to you too! Study hard in the new year and don't be naughty anymore. I know everything you've been up to at school."

Here, this is my New Year's red envelope for you.

After Yan Jiefang finished speaking, he took out a red envelope from his pocket and handed it to his second brother.

"Thank you, Dad!"

The young man immediately took it, opened it with a big smile, and found a ten-yuan note inside, which made his smile even wider.

"Dad, you rest. I'm going to wash up in the yard and then practice my stance for a while."

Yan Xueheng put the money in his pocket, said goodbye, and left the living room.

The second son has loved traditional martial arts since he was 8 years old, and begged Yan Jiefang to buy him several books on basic martial arts routines.

This kid has an exceptionally high level of comprehension. Without any guidance, he practiced the Xingyi Quan routines quite well by himself, just by looking at the books.

He's incredibly powerful when he's playing; and you know what? Most adults might not be a match for him.

Of course, he is still somewhat inferior to Yan Jiefang.

After all, he had a system, and it didn't take long for him to reach 100/100.

With skills like these that have limits, he can not only learn them quickly, but he also won't get stuck at a certain level, and it's easy for him to reach 100/100.

Unlike some skills, which get stuck at 99/100 and can't be reached for many years.

Examples include Traditional Chinese Medicine, Computer Technology, Electronic Science and Technology, and Go (Weiqi).

Although it has been making progress, this number can no longer go any further.

Not long after, the mother-in-law, Liu Ruyan, and the other two children also got up.

After having dumplings, everyone went out for a walk.

Liu Ruyan, originally from Jiangcheng, doesn't eat dumplings during the Lunar New Year, but now she's following local customs.

Yan Jiefang, who was a southerner before time travel, was the same.

I wouldn't say I like it that much, but I can eat a little bit of it.

Yan Jiefang's family has very few relatives, just the Sha Zhu family, the Yan Bugui family, and the two families of Yan Jiekuang and Yan Jiedi who have already moved out.

Yan Jiekuang married a female employee of Factory 774.

This girl has a round face; she's not pretty, but she's not ugly either—just an ordinary person.

She was very diligent, and Yan Jiekuang was quite satisfied with her.

As a dual-income family, and working in the top-tier radio industry, the couple lived a much better life than most.

They originally lived in a house allocated by the factory (rented), but later, following the advice of their second brother (Yan Jiefang), they took over a three-room wing room in a courtyard house in Dongcheng District.

Now, Yan Jiekuang has two sons and a daughter, and the family is living a prosperous life.

Yan Jiefang no longer needs to worry about this.

Yan Jiedi, on the other hand, was beautiful. Although she was just an ordinary kitchen helper in a steel rolling mill, she still married well.

Her husband was introduced to her by Yan Jiefang; he was a technician at Factory 774 and a junior from their school, Beiwu Electric.

This junior has a handsome appearance and is about 1.75 meters tall.

Actually, he had many suitors, but who could blame him for being a fan of Yan Jiefang?

Marrying your idol's sister, wouldn't that take you one step closer to your idol?

Moreover, apart from not being good at studying, the idol's younger sister has no other shortcomings, making her a pretty good match.

Therefore, he readily agreed to Yan Jiefang's introduction.

In the morning, Yan Jiefang's house became lively.

Yan Jiekuang and his wife, Yan Jiedi and her husband, and Shazhu and his wife all came.

Everyone sat in the living room drinking tea and chatting.

We mainly talked about work-related matters and exchanged information.

"Brother Zhu, your restaurant business is getting better and better, congratulations!"

"It's all thanks to the liberation; otherwise, we wouldn't have the money to start a business now."

...

Yan Jiedi was in her twenties and had already given birth to two children, but she still couldn't shake her gluttonous habit.

One minute he's opening a bottle of Beibingyang soda, the next he's popping a piece of White Rabbit candy into his mouth, and then he's running to the kitchen to grab a slice of braised beef, just like a child who hasn't grown up.

We had a family reunion lunch together before heading home.
