Courtyard House: The Cultivation System Takes Me Flying

Chapter 81 New species in the spiritual garden·Xianfu Changan

As dawn broke through the Eternal Barrier, it fell upon the vast expanse of spiritual fields. Dewdrops, imbued with spiritual energy, shimmered faintly in the rosy light. After several days of successive breakthroughs, establishing authority in the forbidden area, and advancing in the grotto-heaven, the Eternal Immortal Abode had fully entered a stable and normal state. The source of the spiritual veins flowed day and night, and the spiritual energy in the air was as warm and moist as mist; a single breath was enough to make one feel completely refreshed.

Qin Lindong opened his eyes from his meditation, a golden light flashing in them before quickly returning to its usual calm. His cultivation at the late stage of the sixth level of the Golden Core realm was now completely stable, and his Undying Battle Body was like an invisible armor, restrained yet majestic. He was now the Eternal Lord recognized by the heavens and earth of Qinglan Prefecture. Not to mention Golden Core cultivators, even Nascent Soul experts would not be able to break through this barrier.

For him, no matter how strong his cultivation or how great his reputation, nothing could compare to the peace and tranquility of this prefecture before him.

He rose and slowly walked towards the newly cleared open space between the spirit fields and the spirit fruit garden. Previously, the spirit grains and spirit fruits were enough for the entire academy to eat for many years, and the spirit liquid was inexhaustible. Today, he planned to add a few more spirit plants, not to compete for resources, but simply to make the immortal academy more vibrant and to add more interest to everyone's daily life.

"Immortal Lord".

He Yuzhu walked in from the entrance of the cave and bowed respectfully. He was now at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, his fiery spiritual energy extremely refined, yet he no longer showed any impatience; his eyes were as steady as a rock. Guarding the immortal abode was no longer a task, but his willing destiny.

"Plant some spiritual trees and flowers on that empty space next to the spiritual field today. Don't worry about their effects; just make them pleasing to the eye," Qin Lindong said calmly.

"Yes!" He Yuzhu immediately replied, "I'll go prepare right away."

Before long, everyone in the hospital came upon hearing the news.

Qin Huairu carried a bamboo basket containing spirit flower seeds and spirit tree seedlings that Qin Lindong had casually taken out. These seeds seemed ordinary, but they came from a reward from the grotto-heaven. After being planted, they would bloom in all four seasons, their fragrance calming and beneficial to cultivation, yet they were neither ostentatious nor domineering, making them most suitable for this peaceful grotto-heaven.

Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong had already brought over small spirit wood shovels. Now in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, their bodies were several times stronger than when they were mortals, and they moved nimbly and were full of energy. The longer they stayed in the Immortal Abode, the more they understood that no amount of scheming, face, or status could compare to a peaceful three meals a day and a night of restful sleep.

The four members of the Jia family also silently stepped forward. Jia Dongxu loosened the soil, Jia Zhangshi picked up the pebbles, and Jia Geng stood beside Banggeng, learning how to care for the seedlings. They had long since shed the harshness and resentment of their mortal selves, leaving only peace and steadfastness. To have a place in the immortal abode was already a great blessing for them.

The white jade rhinoceros swished its tail and ran around, occasionally nudging the soil with its head as if it were helping, which made the children laugh continuously.

Qin Lindong stood to the side, his spiritual sense sweeping across the area, and a gentle golden spiritual energy slowly descended. The soil on the open ground instantly became softer and more moist, the spiritual energy permeating it, and the buried seeds and seedlings seemed to come alive instantly, trembling slightly and exuding vitality.

"When the Immortal Lord takes action, things are different," Qin Huairu said softly with admiration in her eyes.

"To cultivate here, one must have a calm mind and joyful eyes," Qin Lindong said calmly. "With spiritual flowers blooming and spiritual trees evergreen, life will not be dull."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

They used to live a bumpy life in the mortal world, arguing for hours over trivial matters like firewood and rice. Now, in the immortal abode, they have an endless supply of spiritual rice, spiritual fruits, and spiritual spring water. Their cultivation grows day by day, and even their moods have become more open and expansive.

Banggeng crouched down and carefully supported a sapling of spirit wood: "Immortal Lord, I will come to see it every day and water it."

"I'll help too!" Xiao Dang immediately raised his hand.

"Me too! Me too!" Huaihua chimed in.

Qin Lindong smiled slightly, and with a light tap of his fingertip, three extremely faint streams of spiritual energy landed on the three children. The three of them felt their minds clear instantly, and even their breathing became much smoother. They were now at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, and with their status as Eternal Immortals, their Dao foundations were solid. Their future cultivation path was smooth, requiring no competition or risks; they only needed to grow up slowly and cultivate quietly.

[Ding! Host has opened a spirit garden, planted spirit flowers and trees, further increasing the potential of the cave!]

[Automatic effect in the Spirit Garden: All residents' mental state +10%, cultivation efficiency +5%, immune to afflictions]

The spirit tree never withers in all four seasons, and the spirit flower blooms year-round; its fragrance can calm the mind, ward off inner demons.

[Reward to the host: The late stage of the sixth level of the Golden Core Realm has been stabilized to the peak, and the host is only one step away from the seventh level of the Golden Core Realm.]

[Reward for the entire hospital: Slightly improved physical strength, radiant appearance, and extended lifespan]

The system indicated that the object landed smoothly.

Everyone felt a sense of lightness and inexplicable joy, and even the air seemed to carry a faint fragrance of flowers. What was once just an ordinary open space was now filled with spiritual energy, with faint shimmering light, becoming another peaceful scene in the Eternal Immortal Abode.

"That's wonderful! From now on, this will be our Spirit Garden," Qin Huairu said with a gentle smile.

The group worked together efficiently and in an orderly manner, with each person taking on different tasks.

He Yuzhu took the initiative to do the heaviest work, carrying spiritual soil, digging holes and supporting seedlings. His flame spiritual energy circulated slightly, and there was not a drop of sweat on his forehead. Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong worked while chatting in low voices, their words full of satisfaction with their current life. Qin Huairu led the children to carefully sow seeds, cover them with soil, and gently water them with spiritual spring water. The four members of the Jia family worked silently, without saying much or slacking off, living a peaceful and stable life.

In less than an hour, the entire cemetery was ready.

As the seedlings took root and the seeds were planted, under the subtle blessing of the grotto's spiritual energy and Qin Lindong's influence, they sprouted branches, germinated, and grew leaves at a speed visible to the naked eye. Pale blue, light white, and tender pink flowers bloomed in succession, their fragrance elegant, neither strong nor overpowering, bringing peace to the mind.

Qin Lindong walked slowly into the Spirit Garden. Wherever he passed, the spirit flowers drooped slightly, as if in greeting. He was now the true master of this grotto-heaven, and every blade of grass, every tree, every clod of earth, and every drop of water was influenced by his aura.

"From this day forward, this place will be the cemetery," he said softly. "Whoever wishes to take care of it on a daily basis may come and visit from time to time. There is no need to force anyone; just do as you please."

"I do!" Bang Geng immediately raised his hand.

"I'm willing too!" Xiao Dang and Huaihua echoed in unison.

The children already loved these vibrant flowers and plants, and now that they could help the immortal master with his work, they were all very excited.

Qin Huairu smiled and nodded: "Immortal Master, rest assured, I will take good care of the Spirit Garden with the children and make sure it is in good condition."

Yan Bugui stroked his non-existent beard and laughed, "We two old bones are quite idle, so we come here every day to loosen the soil and pull weeds, which is a pleasure."

Liu Haizhong nodded in agreement: "Before, when I was in the courtyard, I always wanted to manage something. Now that I'm in the Immortal Abode, I can just take care of the spiritual flowers and herbs, and I feel at ease."

Everyone laughed.

There were no disputes, no shirking of responsibility, no comparisons; everyone was willing and each did what they were supposed to do.

At noon, Qin Huairu set out spirit rice, spirit fruit, and spirit spring soup on the stone table. Everyone in the courtyard sat together, a gentle breeze caressing their faces, the fragrance of flowers filling the air, neat spirit fields behind them, harmonious family members beside them, and before them stood the unfathomable yet incredibly gentle immortal lord.

Such days are truly the days of immortals.

He Yuzhu ate the spirit rice with gusto and exclaimed, "I never dreamed I could live such a life. I have enough to eat and drink, I'm safe and sound, and my cultivation is improving day by day."

"Yes," Yan Bugui sighed, "In the mortal world, we spend our whole lives fighting and struggling over trivial matters. Only when we arrive in the immortal realm do we realize that a truly good life is one of peace and tranquility, free from competition and strife."

Jia Dongxu also spoke in a low voice: "I was foolish before and didn't know how to cherish things. Now I'm content to be able to live a peaceful life."

Qin Lindong listened quietly and nodded slightly.

What he wanted was never a group of subordinates who revered him, but a family who could live a peaceful life in the city.

They don't need to do anything earth-shattering or shake the world; peace, health, harmony, and longevity are enough.

After the meal, everyone dispersed.

Banggeng Santong played in the spirit garden with Baiyu Lingxi, their laughter ringing out; Qin Huairu tidied the stone table with gentle movements; Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong sat by the spirit field, looking at the golden spirit grain with satisfied expressions; He Yuzhu returned to the entrance of the cave, sat cross-legged in meditation, the flame spirit energy flowing slowly, steady and firm; the four members of the Jia family tidied the courtyard, swept away fallen leaves, and arranged the bamboo chairs, all in quiet peace.

Qin Lindong stood with his hands behind his back in the spirit garden, looking at the scene before him, his mind becoming more and more fulfilled.

The power of the sixth level of the Golden Core stage flowed quietly within his body, calm and undisturbed, merging with the heavens and earth. His spiritual sense covered the six thousand miles of Qinglan Prefecture, taking in all the movements of the outside world—the Qinglan Sect remained in seclusion, rogue cultivators dared not approach, demonic beasts lay dormant, and the entire world held the Eternal Immortal Mansion in awe.

Respect is not because he is warlike, but because he is inviolable.

Peace comes not from external compassion, but from his own strength.

As the sun slowly set, its glow spread throughout the spiritual garden, making the spiritual flowers even more vibrant. The spiritual fields shimmered with gold, the spiritual lake sparkled, and the spiritual bamboo swayed gently, creating a serene and peaceful atmosphere throughout the entire grotto.

Qin Lindong slowly closed his eyes and sat quietly in the spirit garden.

Without cultivation, without breakthroughs, without practicing internal energy, without concentrating the mind.

Just sit there, listening to the wind rustling through the bamboo, smelling the faint fragrance of flowers, listening to the children's soft laughter, and listening to the family's steady breathing.

This is immortality.

New plants have been planted in the cemetery, and flowers bloom in all four seasons.

The entire academy is in harmony, and the celestial abode is always peaceful.

The mundane world is far removed, the immortal path is leisurely and carefree.

Avoid violence and bloodshed, and only seek peace of mind.

Such is the way of life, and that is enough.
