Courtyard House: The Cultivation System Takes Me Flying

As dawn broke, a faint fragrance of spiritual grains wafted through the Eternal Immortal Abode. After several days of being nourished by the spiritual energy of the cultivation world, the seventh-grade spiritual grains in the spiritual fields finally ushered in a day of ripeness and harvest.

Golden ears of grain drooped heavily, each grain radiating a warm golden light and containing rich, pure spiritual energy. A gentle breeze swept across the vast spiritual fields, creating golden waves of wheat, and the fragrance permeated the entire grotto, refreshing the soul.

Qin Lindong had finished his cultivation early and stood by the spirit field, looking at the bountiful harvest before him, a faint warmth flashing in his eyes.

Spiritual grains are the foundation of sustenance for everyone in the Immortal Abode, and the basis for their peaceful lives. In the mortal world, everyone relied on spiritual grains to survive. Now that they have entered the cultivation world, the quality of spiritual grains has been transformed once again. They can not only satisfy hunger, but also assist in cultivation and nourish the physical body, making them the most practical resource for immortals.

"Immortal Lord!"

Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong arrived at the edge of the spirit fields early in the morning. Looking at the fields full of ripe spirit grains, the two old men beamed with joy, their voices filled with excitement: "The spirit grain harvest is bountiful! This much spirit grain is enough for our entire prefecture to eat for several years, and we can even save the best seeds to plant even more spirit grains next year!"

The two elderly people had been meticulously tending to the sacred field for days, weeding, loosening the soil, channeling the spirit, and irrigating it without ever slacking off. Now, seeing the bountiful harvest, they were filled with a sense of accomplishment. Having spent their entire lives calculating and scheming in the mundane world, they had never felt so grounded and satisfied.

"Thank you both for your hard work." Qin Lindong nodded slightly. "We will harvest the spirit grains today, with the entire academy working together."

"Okay! Okay!" Yan Bugui nodded quickly. "I'll go and call everyone over right away!"

Before long, He Yuzhu, Qin Huairu, and their three children, along with the Jia family of four, arrived at the edge of the spirit field. Looking at the boundless golden spirit valley, everyone's faces lit up with joy; the fatigue of days of cultivation vanished in that instant.

"So many spirit grains, it's truly magnificent!" Bang Geng tilted his little face up, his eyes full of curiosity, and gently touched the golden ears of grain. Spiritual energy flowed into his body through his fingertips, and he squinted his eyes in comfort.

Xiao Dang and Huaihua clapped and laughed along, their clear laughter echoing throughout the cave.

Qin Huairu smiled gently and said softly, "Immortal Master, I will take charge of harvesting and sorting, and I will ensure that the spirit grain is properly stored."

He Yuzhu then took the initiative to pick up the spirit wood sickle and said in a deep voice, "Immortal Master, I am strong. I will harvest the spirit grains quickly and well."

The four members of the Jia family also stepped forward. Jia Dongxu bowed and said, "Immortal Master, we are here to help as well. We would never dare to slack off."

Everyone took on their respective roles and began harvesting the spirit grains.

He Yuzhu channeled his fiery spiritual energy, his sickle flashing like the wind, golden ears of grain falling one after another, his movements swift and skillful; Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong were responsible for sorting the harvested spiritual grain, neatly bundling the ears of grain and removing weeds; Qin Huairu, with her three children, carried the bundled spiritual grain to the drying ground; the Jia family of four were responsible for sweeping up the debris and leaves in the spiritual fields and leveling the land.

The white jade rhinoceros also joined in the fun, gently pushing the bundle of spirit grains with its soft spirit horn to help carry it. Its adorable appearance made everyone laugh continuously.

Throughout the entire spirit field, there were no quarrels or scheming, only busy figures and cheerful laughter, and the atmosphere of peace and harmony was extremely strong.

Qin Lindong stood aside, watching everyone busy at work, feeling a sense of peace in his heart.

This is the life he wants: no bloodshed, no sect feuds, no battles in secret realms, only the companionship of family, diligent work, and peaceful days.

The path to immortality is not limited to arduous cultivation; safeguarding the peace of one's region and ensuring the well-being of all is also a path to immortality.

[Ding! The host has witnessed a bountiful harvest in the Spirit Valley, harmony and unity throughout the entire academy, and a surge in the vitality of the Cave Heaven, triggering a hidden reward.]

[The quality of the spirit grain will be permanently upgraded by one rank, reaching the eighth rank. Consuming it can accelerate cultivation, nourish the spiritual veins, and has no side effects.]

[The spirit field soil has been upgraded to superior spirit soil, which accelerates the maturation of any spirit plant and doubles the yield.]

[The physical strength of all disciples has slightly improved, they are immune to all diseases, and their aptitude has been optimized.]

[Reward to the host: The early stage of the fourth level of the Golden Core realm has been stabilized to the middle stage, and the range of spiritual sense has been expanded to two thousand miles.]

As the system notification sound faded, the soil in the spiritual field within the cave glowed slightly, becoming even more moist and fertile. The aroma of the harvested spiritual grain was even more intense, and the Daoist charm of the eighth-grade spiritual grain far surpassed that of before.

Everyone felt a lightness throughout their bodies, their physical bodies became stronger, their cultivation aptitude also subtly improved, and they harvested spirit grains at a faster pace.

"Strange, why do I feel like I've gained more strength?" He Yuzhu said, brandishing his sickle. "And the fragrance of this spirit grain seems even stronger!"

Yan Bugui gently stroked the spirit grain, his eyes filled with joy: "It's the Immortal Lord's blessing! With the Immortal Lord's protection, our spirit grain has become even better, and our bodies are stronger!"

Everyone nodded, their gazes toward Qin Lindong becoming increasingly respectful and grateful.

Qin Lindong nodded slightly, saying nothing more. He raised his hand and waved, sending a gentle spiritual energy over the drying field, removing impurities from the spirit grain and accelerating its drying process. Golden spiritual light flowed, and the spirit grain on the drying field dried at a visible speed, the grains plump and glistening, emitting a faint golden glow.

After a busy morning, the entire vast valley was finally harvested.

The threshing ground was piled high with golden spirit grains, like a small mountain, shrouded in spiritual energy and exuding a fragrant aroma. A rough estimate suggests that this bountiful harvest of spirit grains weighed over ten thousand catties. The value of eighth-grade spirit grains was extremely precious, even in the cultivation world, enough to feed everyone in the Eternal Immortal Mansion for several years.

"Great! With so much spirit grain, we'll never have to worry about food again!" Liu Haizhong grinned from ear to ear as he looked at the mountain of spirit grain.

Qin Huairu then began selecting the plumpest and purest ears of grain, carefully storing them away: "These will be kept as seeds. Next year, when planted in the upgraded spiritual soil, we will surely harvest even more and better spiritual grains."

The three children jumped and skipped around the pile of spirit grains, while the white jade rhinoceros lay to the side, occasionally taking a bite of the fallen spirit grains, looking extremely content.

The four members of the Jia family stood aside, looking at the bountiful harvest before them, their hearts filled with peace. They knew that being able to have food and clothing in this paradise, and to cultivate peacefully, was the greatest blessing of their lives, and they would never return to the troubled and turbulent days of the mortal world.

At noon, Qin Huairu cooked a pot of spirit rice with freshly harvested eighth-grade spirit grains. The grains were crystal clear and had a rich, fragrant aroma. Just smelling it made one feel refreshed and invigorated, as if spiritual energy was flowing into the body. She then paired it with fresh spirit fruits and spirit spring soup, setting out a sumptuous feast for immortals.

Everyone in the courtyard sat around the threshing ground, enjoying the bountiful harvest together.

The eighth-grade spirit rice melted instantly in the mouth, its warm spiritual energy flowing down the throat and into the body, nourishing the physical form and stabilizing cultivation. It was so comfortable that one couldn't help but squint their eyes. The three children, Banggeng, Xiaodang, and Huaihua, ate with great relish, their little mouths puffed out, looking incredibly cute.

"It's so delicious! This spirit rice is even more fragrant than before!" Xiao Dang mumbled.

Huaihua nodded in agreement: "It makes me feel warm and comfortable after eating it."

He Yuzhu ate the spirit rice heartily and said in a deep voice, "After eating this spirit rice, I feel my cultivation has improved again, and I'll be able to break through to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage soon!"

Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong savored the food, their faces full of satisfaction: "This is truly a delicacy worthy of its reputation. To be able to eat such spiritual rice is enough for this lifetime."

The four members of the Jia family ate cautiously, but they were also very happy. They had never dared to dream of such a life before.

Qin Lindong sat in the main seat, slowly eating the spirit rice. Looking at the joyful expressions of everyone, a faint smile appeared on his lips.

After the meal, everyone rested briefly before getting back to work. Qin Huairu packed the dried spirit rice into a spirit wood storage box for safekeeping; Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong tidied the spirit fields in preparation for next year's planting; He Yuzhu returned to the entrance of the cave to continue his vigilant cultivation; the three children meditated by the lake with Qin Huairu, with the white jade rhinoceros still by their side; and the Jia family of four cleaned the courtyard and tidied the grain drying area.

Everything returned to calm, yet there was a greater sense of joy and peace than ever before.

Qin Lindong sat cross-legged on the central stone platform, cultivating with his eyes closed. His cultivation at the mid-stage of the fourth level of the Golden Core realm was steadily improving under the nourishment of massive amounts of spiritual energy and eighth-grade spiritual rice. His Undying Battle Body was becoming increasingly powerful, and his spiritual sense covered a range of two thousand miles, giving him complete control over every blade of grass and every tree in Qinglan Prefecture.

Thousands of miles away, the Qinglan Sect continued its cultivation as usual. The disciples practiced diligently, the elders managed the sect, and the sect leader went into seclusion. No one dared to mention the Eternal Immortal Mansion anymore, and this territory was completely designated as a forbidden area.

A hundred miles away at Sunset Ridge, Foundation Establishment demonic beasts still fight for territory, roaring incessantly, their ferocity permeating the air, yet they can never touch even a fraction of the Eternal Immortal Abode.

Three hundred miles away, in Qingxi Town, a place teeming with wandering cultivators, a chaotic mix of all sorts, they argued endlessly over a few resources, a stark contrast to the tranquility of the Immortal Abode.

The outside world remains noisy, but the Eternal Immortal Abode remains as peaceful and serene as ever.

As the sun set, the evening glow painted the sky, making the Eternal Immortal Abode even more peaceful. The spirit fields were as smooth as new, the storage boxes were full of spirit rice, everyone's cultivation was steady, and the cave was full of vitality and tranquility.

Qin Lindong slowly opened his eyes, the golden light in them subdued.

The spiritual valley yielded a bountiful harvest, bringing joy to the entire courtyard. The grotto was peaceful and secure, and longevity was within reach.

On this day, there were no earth-shattering breakthroughs, no external disputes to disturb the peace, only the joy of harvest and simple tranquility.

The mortal world is far gone, the path to immortality is long, the immortal abode is eternal, and the original intention remains unchanged.

Guard this pure land, protect the peace and well-being of this region, cultivate the path to longevity, and live a peaceful life.

Undisturbed by the world, untouched by dust, peaceful and quiet, it endures forever.
