Courtyard House: The Cultivation System Takes Me Flying

The morning light was warm and gentle, the fragrance of rice paddies filled the air, and the stream babbled softly. All the spirits dwelled peacefully, and every inch of the Eternal Home exuded tranquility and serenity. Qin Lindong walked up the long steps of the Spirit Jade, passed the Spirit Stream Cottage, and gazed in the direction of the Spirit Bamboo Study, his heart stirred slightly. Although the Spirit Bamboo Study had books before, they were mostly for casual reading. It lacked a literary pavilion that could contain the wisdom of heaven and earth, nourish the mind and spirit, so that people could read thousands of books, understand their own thoughts, and cultivate a gentle and refined literary spirit while living a peaceful life.

He walked slowly to the back of the Spirit Bamboo Study, where the swaying bamboo shadows and refined scholarly atmosphere made it an ideal place to build a library. Qin Lindong gathered his primordial literary energy at his fingertips and with a gentle wave, a three-story, ancient-style library appeared out of thin air. The library was framed by spirit bamboo, constructed with spirit jade bricks, and fitted with fine wood cabinets. The roof was carved with lotus flowers, and the four sides featured carved windows, allowing for ventilation and light, all enveloped in a scholarly atmosphere. The first floor housed leisurely books and notes, offering a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere; the second floor contained profound wisdom about the universe, conducive to self-cultivation; and the third floor held the essence of Taoist philosophy, nourishing the mind and spirit.

The bookshelves are eternally sturdy, the books turn automatically, require no maintenance, will never break, and the pages have a natural fragrance that can soothe the eyes and calm the mind, while reading can enhance wisdom and cultivate character. Inside the library are jade desks, bamboo chairs, and serene lamps, providing soft light day and night, so that reading is gentle on the eyes and quiet sitting is undisturbed, and the literary atmosphere shines eternally.

[Ding! The host has completed the Literary Heart Pavilion, and the literary atmosphere of the home is now complete!]

[Effects of Wenxin Study: The literary atmosphere within the study can nurture wisdom, enhance comprehension, enable reading quickly and easily, and leave a clear and tranquil mind.]

The books remain forever intact, their literary spirit never fades, and their pure lamps burn eternally, needing neither oil nor polishing.

[With everyone reading and cultivating their character, they become more refined and virtuous, and wise words remain in their hearts.]

[Host reward: Literary and Daoist hearts are perfected, wisdom is profound, and the literary charm of the homestead is elevated to another level]

As the system notification faded, Wenxin Book Pavilion stood quietly amidst the bamboo shadows, exuding a refined literary atmosphere and the fragrance of books, complementing Lingzhu Study and becoming the most culturally rich corner of Yongheng Garden.

Banggeng, Xiaodang, and Huaihua were the first to be drawn by the aroma of books. They usually loved reading at Lingzhu Study, and now, seeing the larger and more elegant Wenxin Book Pavilion, they immediately skipped and hopped over. Pushing open the wooden door of the book pavilion, a refreshing fragrance of books wafted out. The interior was bright and clean, with neat bookshelves and scrolls arranged in rows, filling one with joy. Xiaodang pulled Huaihua to the first floor and picked up a picture book depicting mythical creatures, reading quietly; Banggeng went up to the second floor and flipped through the scrolls of "Words of Wisdom from Heaven and Earth," reading with unusual seriousness despite his young age. Nourished by the literary atmosphere, the children's comprehension improved significantly; they understood obscure words at a glance, and wisdom constantly sprouted in their hearts.

Qin Huairu walked slowly into the Wenxin Book Pavilion, her gentle face filled with joy as she gazed at the books filling the space. She had loved reading since childhood, but in the mortal world, she lacked the means. Now, in the Eternal Garden, she had endless books to read and boundless tranquility to enjoy, filling her heart with happiness. She went up to the third floor, sat quietly at the jade desk, picked up a book on the philosophy of mind, and began to read it carefully. Literary energy enveloped her, and the Dao of Water Spirit merged with this energy, making her mid-stage Golden Core cultivation increasingly refined, and her mind ever clearer and more transparent. She softly recited the wise sayings from the book, her voice gentle and melodious, blending perfectly with the literary energy of the pavilion.

He Yuzhu, also curious, entered the library. Having read little in his ordinary life, he now found himself drawn to reading under the influence of literature. He didn't look at any profound books, but instead picked up a casual notebook on the first floor and sat down in a bamboo chair to slowly peruse it. The fragrance of the books filled his nostrils, and the literary atmosphere soothed his soul. His usually rough nature gradually softened, becoming gentle and composed. He discovered that reading wasn't tedious at all; on the contrary, it brought peace of mind, making him increasingly appreciate the Wenxin Library as a wonderful place.

Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong were particularly fond of the Wenxin Book Pavilion. The two elderly men, with their rich life experiences, now found their greatest joy in reading and self-cultivation in this book, a repository of profound wisdom. They went up to the second floor together, sat side-by-side, and savored the wisdom of the world. Sometimes they whispered among themselves, sometimes they closed their eyes in deep thought. Nourished by the literary atmosphere, their minds became increasingly peaceful and clear, their worldly attachments and calculations completely smoothed away by the literary charm. Yan Bugui stroked the books, marveling that being able to read in such a serene environment was the greatest blessing of his life. Liu Haizhong nodded in agreement. The two men, befriending books and nourishing their hearts with literature, found peace and endless joy in their lives.

The Jia family of four also came to Wenxin Bookstore. Jia Dongxu went up to the second floor and read books on self-cultivation, his mind becoming more and more peaceful. Jia Zhangshi sat on the first floor, flipping through books for leisure, a gentle smile on her face. The anxiety and harshness of her ordinary life completely dissipated in the fragrance of books. Jia Geng read with Bang Geng. The two children sat side by side, exchanging ideas. Nourished by the literary atmosphere, they became more and more well-behaved and sensible.

All the spirits were drawn to the scholarly atmosphere of the library. A spirit sparrow perched on the window frame, quietly listening to the readings, utterly silent; a spirit rat crouched beside the bookshelves, guarding the scrolls with a docile expression; spirit rabbits and deer lay docilely resting at the library's entrance; and a white jade rhinoceros lay peacefully on the inside of the doorway, like a guardian beast protecting the literary spirit. All the spirits loved the scholarly atmosphere of the library and consciously protected it, never disturbing those who read.

Qin Lindong slowly walked up to the third floor of Wenxin Study, stood by the window, and looked at his family members reading throughout the room, his heart filled with contentment. He built Wenxin Study not for people to attain enlightenment and cultivate themselves, but so that everyone could have books to read, wisdom to gain, and a heart to nurture in their long lives. True eternity is not only about physical immortality, but also about a rich and fulfilling spirit; not only about a peaceful life, but also about a gentle and refined character. Literature carries the Way, books nourish the heart, let wisdom shine brightly in the heart, let literary spirit accompany one throughout life—this is the best nourishment he prepared for his family.

In the three outer states, cultivators fight for cultivation techniques, while mortals struggle for survival. No one has the heart to read, no one has the leisure to cultivate their mind; their minds are restless, and their character is barren. But in the Eternal Home, the Literary Heart Pavilion is filled with the ever-flowing spirit of literature, its shelves overflowing with books. Everyone can read, cultivate themselves daily, let literature nourish their minds, and nurture their character with wisdom. This is the most precious nourishment for longevity.

At noon, the aroma of divine food wafted through the air, and everyone reluctantly put down their books and left the library one by one. The children discussed the interesting stories in the books as they walked, their little faces full of joy; Qin Huairu softly recited the wise sayings in the book, her eyes gentle; He Yuzhu smiled and said that he would come to read often in the future; the elderly stroked the books, still wanting more; the Jia family of four walked slowly, their hearts at peace.

After the meal, everyone returned to Wenxin Study. Some sat quietly reading, some chatted softly, and some closed their eyes to rest. The atmosphere was filled with literary atmosphere and the fragrance of books, making the time feel peaceful and fulfilling. Qin Lindong sat at the jade desk on the third floor, casually picking up a book and quietly reading. He didn't need to find enlightenment in the book, but he enjoyed the tranquility of reading and the warmth of being with his family. The literary atmosphere of Wenxin Study not only nourished the minds of everyone but also deepened the cultural foundation of the entire community.

As the sun sets, the spirit lamps automatically light up, casting a soft glow throughout the library. The books glow with a gentle, scholarly light, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. As people gradually leave the library, all spirits return to their resting place. Only the literary atmosphere and fragrance of books in the Wenxin Library remain, lingering day and night.

Wenxin Book Pavilion, where wisdom shines eternally, a pavilion filled with the fragrance of books and the charm of culture, half literary spirit, half peace. May the spirit of literature nourish longevity, and may wisdom and kindness remain ever-present year after year.
