Courtyard House: The Cultivation System Takes Me Flying

As night deepened, the Milky Way appeared upside down.

The Eternal Immortal Abode is firmly protected by the Eternal Barrier. The outside world is pitch black and silent, but inside the cave, spirit lamps flicker, creating a gentle and tranquil atmosphere.

Everyone in the courtyard was sound asleep, breathing evenly, without dreams or disturbances. Only the gentle sounds of the babbling spring and the swaying bamboo could be heard, like the most peaceful lullaby in the world.

Qin Lindong sat cross-legged on the central stone platform, closing his eyes in meditation.

After fishing during the day, being nourished by the spirit fish, and meditating in the entire courtyard, the thin barrier in his heart had been completely loosened.

He is at the peak of the sixth level of the Golden Core stage, just one step away from the seventh level.

This step requires no fighting, no secret realms, and no rare and precious materials.

All you need is a peaceful mind, and things will fall into place naturally.

At this moment, he has achieved perfection.

My spiritual senses quietly enveloped the six-thousand-mile-long Qinglan Prefecture, making all external movements clearly visible—

The sect leader of Qinglan Sect remained in seclusion, daring not to make the slightest move.

The scattered cultivators of Qingxi Town rested early and dared not approach the forbidden area even a step.

The monsters of Luoxia Ridge lay trembling in their lair, too afraid to utter a sound.

The whole world reveres the eternal Lord.

But Qin Lindong felt no pride, only peace.

He is powerful not to inspire awe in others, but so that those around him will never have to fear.

As night deepens, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is at its most abundant.

Qin Lindong slowly opened his eyes. There was no dazzling golden light in his eyes, only a peaceful and profound one.

He gently exhaled a breath of stale air.

The golden elixir inside his body slowly rotated, faster and faster, brighter and brighter.

Golden Dao patterns flowed across the surface of the Golden Core, like the laws of heaven and earth, natural and majestic.

With the Undying Battle Body operating at full power, every inch of his body was absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the power of the grotto veins, reaching an unprecedented strength in the Golden Core realm.

There was no roar, no strange phenomenon, no tremor.

Everything was quiet and natural.

hum-

A very faint Daoist voice resounded in his heart.

Above the Golden Core, the seventh layer of Dao patterns was fully illuminated.

The golden core expanded slightly, its aura becoming more gentle, profound, and unfathomable.

Golden Core Stage 7!

breakthrough!

A glint flashed in Qin Lindong's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.

At the seventh level of the Golden Core stage, he is already an absolute top-tier combatant in Qinglan Prefecture. Even if a Nascent Soul cultivator were to come in person, they might not be his match.

And he remained quiet, guarding this small sanctuary.

[Ding! Host has successfully broken through to the seventh level of the Golden Core stage!]

[The Eternal Immortal Abode has been upgraded once again: from a superior-grade grotto-heaven to a supreme-grade grotto-heaven!]

[Eternal Barrier Enhanced: Under the influence of the Primordial Spirit, all attacks are ineffective!]

[Spiritual Vein Source Advancement: Eternal Spiritual Vein → Heavenly Dao Spiritual Vein, spiritual energy automatically draws upon the power of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth!]

[The entire academy's status as eternal immortals has been elevated once again: impervious to all evil, untouched by all magic, free from calamities and hardships, enjoying eternal life and freedom!]

[Everyone's cultivation level has automatically increased by one minor realm!]

[Host reward: The early stage of the seventh level of the Golden Core realm has been stabilized to the middle stage. The title "Lord of Eternity" is recognized by Heaven and Earth. No one in Qinglan Prefecture dares to offend or even look at you!]

The system notification sound, for the first time carrying a faint Daoist rhyme, resounded throughout the cave.

The next moment, the entire Eternal Immortal Palace trembled slightly, but it did not wake anyone.

The spiritual field instantly became more fertile, the spiritual grains grew automatically, and the golden light shone even brighter;

The spiritual liquid from the spiritual lake was further refined, transforming into a superior spiritual liquid, which was warm, smooth, and mellow.

The spirit garden's spirit flowers and spirit trees flashed with light, and their fragrance became even more calming;

The butterflies danced more joyfully, and the spring flowed more gently.

Supreme Grotto-heaven!

Heavenly Spiritual Vein!

The primordial spirit is impervious!

At the same time, everyone in the academy, while asleep, felt a sudden warmth throughout their bodies, and their cultivation levels automatically broke through.

He Yuzhu: Peak Foundation Establishment → Early Golden Core Stage!

Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong: Mid-Foundation Building → Late-Foundation Building!

Qin Huairu: Late Foundation Establishment → Peak Foundation Establishment!

Sticky stem, small stem, locust flower: Mid-Foundation Building → Late-Foundation Building!

Jia Dongxu, Jia Zhangshi, Jia Geng: Early Foundation Establishment → Mid Foundation Establishment!

The entire team has improved collectively once again!

He Yuzhu directly stepped into the Golden Core stage, becoming the first Golden Core cultivator in the Immortal Abode besides Qin Lindong!

But everyone was asleep, neither waking up nor cheering, only wearing peaceful smiles in their dreams.

Their bodies automatically adapted to their new level of cultivation, their foundation was solid, and they experienced no discomfort whatsoever.

The white jade rhinoceros lay beneath the stone platform, sensing the Immortal Lord's breakthrough. It slightly raised its head, emitting a very low, gentle hum, before lowering its head again to continue its peaceful sleep.

Qin Lindong stood up, walked slowly to the edge of the cave, and gently touched the Eternal Barrier.

A warm yet firm strength came from my fingertips.

From this day forward, he will be invincible below the level of the Primordial Spirit.

Within Qinglan Prefecture, no one can offend, and nothing can invade.

His spiritual sense instantly expanded to eight thousand miles, covering the entire Qinglan Prefecture, with every blade of grass, every tree, every insect, every beast, every sect and faction within his sight.

The sect leader of Qinglan Sect was meditating when he suddenly felt a majestic aura emanating from heaven and earth. He was so frightened that he trembled all over and immediately prostrated himself on the ground, shaking with fear, not even having the courage to raise his head.

He knew that the peerless master in the forbidden area had become even stronger.

At this moment, all cultivators and demonic beasts in the entire Qinglan Prefecture felt a sense of awe and dared not make the slightest move.

It was as if an invisible ruler had appeared between heaven and earth.

This ruler simply stood quietly guarding the sleeping people of the palace.

Qin Lindong slowly withdrew his gaze and looked into the cave.

The lamps twinkle, creating a serene and peaceful atmosphere.

Inside the stone house, everyone slept soundly.

The sacred fields, the sacred lake, the sacred garden, the sacred bamboo—all are at peace.

His lips curled up slightly, revealing a very faint smile.

Breaking through the seventh level of the Golden Core is not the end, but the beginning of another period of peace and tranquility.

The re-ascension of the grotto was not for the purpose of vying for supremacy, but to ensure that this pure land would forever remain peaceful.

At dawn, the first rays of sunlight pierced through the barrier and fell upon the supreme grotto-heaven.

As everyone in the hospital gradually awoke, they were all surprised and delighted to feel the surge of power within them as soon as they opened their eyes.

"I...I've reached the Golden Core stage?" He Yuzhu stood at the entrance, feeling the power of the early Golden Core stage within his body, his face filled with disbelief.

He used to be just an ordinary cook, but now he has become a Golden Core cultivator!

Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong exchanged a glance, both seeing shock in each other's eyes: "We... we've reached the late Foundation Establishment stage? Our bodies feel even younger!"

Qin Huairu felt the power of the peak Foundation Establishment stage within her body, her temperament becoming increasingly ethereal. She smiled gently and said, "The Immortal Lord has blessed us again."

Banggeng, Xiaodang, and Huaihua, the three children, are now in the late Foundation Establishment stage. Despite their young age, they possess considerable cultivation, yet remain innocent and carefree: "Mother, I feel so light!"

The four members of the Jia family also felt their cultivation levels improve. They looked at each other and saw peace and gratitude in each other's eyes.

They are now at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, and would be considered cultivators in the outside world, but in the Immortal Abode, they remain law-abiding.

Everyone, without prior arrangement, came to the central stone platform and bowed in unison.

"Congratulations, Immortal Master, you have broken through to the seventh level of the Golden Core stage!"

"Thank you for your protection, Immortal Lord! My grotto-heaven has been elevated once more!"

Their voices were clear, respectful, and sincere.

Qin Lindong stood on the stone platform and spoke calmly, his voice both peaceful and authoritative:

"From this day forward, the Eternal Immortal Abode will be a supreme grotto-heaven, where the primordial spirit will be untouched, nourished by the spiritual veins of the Heavenly Dao, and all members will enjoy longevity and freedom from calamities and hardships."

"We will obey the Immortal Lord's decree!"

Everyone responded in unison, their hearts filled with awe and happiness.

They don't need to know how powerful the seventh level of the Golden Core realm is, nor do they need to know how precious a top-grade grotto-heaven is.

All they knew was that with the Celestial Lord present, they would always be safe, always secure, and never have to worry about storms.

"Today, there is no need for labor or deliberate cultivation," Qin Lindong said calmly. "The entire academy can rest at will. The spirit fields, spirit gardens, and spirit lakes will be taken care of by the grotto heavens."

"Yes, Immortal Lord!"

A relaxed smile appeared on everyone's face.

On ordinary days, they each perform their duties and diligently cultivate themselves, yet they never feel tired.

Today, the Immortal Lord has spoken of taking a break, which is a rare moment of leisure.

Banggeng, Xiaodang, and Huaihua, carrying the white jade spirit rhinoceros, ran to the spirit garden and played with the spirit butterflies.

Qin Huairu sat by Linghu Lake, enjoying the scenery, feeling peaceful and relaxed.

He Yuzhu had already completed his Golden Core, yet he remained guarding the entrance, only now with a more relaxed smile on his face.

Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong sat under the bamboo, drinking tea and chatting leisurely, enjoying themselves.

The four members of the Jia family sat in a corner of the courtyard, resting quietly with peaceful expressions.

Qin Lindong walked slowly through the cave, passing the spiritual fields, the spiritual lake, the spiritual garden, and every corner he had personally protected.

The spirit valley bowed to him, the spirit flowers bloomed for him, the spirit spring tinkled for him, and the spirit butterflies danced for him.

He is the master of this world, and also its guardian.

At noon, Qin Huairu prepared the most sumptuous meal.

Spirit rice, spirit fruit, spirit fish soup, and spirit flower pastries—a table laden with spiritual energy, exuding a delightful aroma.

Everyone in the hospital sat together, laughing and chatting in a warm and harmonious atmosphere.

No one talked about cultivation level, no one talked about realm, no one talked about the outside world.

They only talked about spirit flowers, spirit fish, spirit butterflies, children, and everyday life.

This is the true life of an immortal.

After the meal, everyone rested at their own pace.

Some people are meditating, some are taking a walk, some are watching children play, and some are resting with their eyes closed.

There was no noise, no restlessness, no scrambling.

Qin Lindong sat cross-legged on the central stone platform, closing his eyes in meditation.

The power of the mid-stage seventh level of the Golden Core realm flowed quietly within his body, merging with the Heavenly Dao's spiritual veins and harmonizing with heaven and earth.

Eight thousand miles away in Qinglan Prefecture, the outside world remains noisy, turbulent, and a world where the strong prey on the weak.

Within the Eternal Immortal Abode, time flows peacefully, and Chang'an endures for eternity.

After breaking through the seventh level of the Golden Core stage, the grotto-heaven realm ascends once more.

May everyone be safe and sound, and live forever.

Not coveting the world, not vying for supremacy.

A peaceful mind in one's home is the path to immortality.
