Courtyard House: The Cultivation System Takes Me Flying

Morning light bathed every corner of the Eternal Home, the jade steps gleaming with a warm glow, the fragrance of flowers filling the seasonal garden, the clear, bubbling spring of the Chaos Spiritual Spring, the pristine white lotus platform, and the warm, inviting Immortal Abode. All spirits remained docile in their dwellings: spirit birds sang, spirit rabbits frolicked, spirit deer stood still, spirit mice darted about, together with the white jade spirit rhinoceros and fluttering spirit butterflies, creating the most peaceful and vibrant picture of life in the world.

Qin Lindong sat cross-legged on the central stone platform. His cultivation at the ninth level of the Golden Core realm had long since merged with the cave heaven. His mind, focused on the myriad paths of the Dao, was as clear as a mirror, undisturbed by any ripples. He needed no cultivation, no breakthroughs, no protection, for this home had long since become eternal. The Eternal Chang'an Realm had become the rule of heaven and earth, nourished day and night by the primordial Dao veins of chaos. All people and all living beings lived in absolute peace. Time here seemed to be gently frozen, without beginning or end, without increase or decrease, undisturbed and undisturbed.

Having achieved the perfect union of all spirits, the vitality, warmth, harmony, and tranquility within the Eternal Home have reached their zenith. Today, there is no new construction, no new opportunities, no new breakthroughs, only the purest and most authentic peaceful dwelling, undisturbed by time. For every member of the Eternal Home, this ordinary daily life is the most precious gift of longevity.

Everyone in the hospital slowly rose in the morning light, without rushing, without urging, without any tasks that had to be completed. Everything was done as they pleased, and they were at ease with their own pace.

Banggeng, Xiaodang, and Huaihua were the first children to get up. All three were now at the early stage of the Golden Core realm, possessing the foundation for longevity at such a young age, yet still retaining the purest innocence and naivety of childhood. They tiptoed out of their dwelling, careful not to disturb the resting spirits, and headed straight for the Four Seasons Spirit Garden. The spirit rabbits and spirit deer they had met the day before were already waiting by the flower bushes. Upon seeing the children arrive, they immediately greeted them gently, affectionately nuzzling their palms.

Xiao Dang, cradling a snow-white spirit rabbit, sat on a jade stone by the Spirit Stream, watching the babbling spring, a sweet smile always on her lips. Huaihua chased after several spirit sparrows, who deliberately circled low, playing hide-and-seek with her; their clear laughter echoed in the wind, blending with the sounds of time. Banggeng, leading a spirit deer, strolled along the jade steps, occasionally pausing to admire the ever-blooming flowers, sometimes stroking the deer's smooth fur, his mind as serene as that of a mature cultivator.

Qin Huairu followed closely behind. Now in the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, she possessed a gentle figure and ethereal气质 (qi zhi, a kind of refined elegance), her water-attribute spiritual energy perfectly complementing the warm atmosphere of her home. She didn't deliberately discipline the children; instead, carrying several spirit wood cups, she went to the Chaos Spirit Spring, scooping out the purest spring water to prepare a refreshing drink for the children that morning. The mist from the Chaos Spirit Spring surrounded her, making her features appear even more gentle. In this undisturbed world, she didn't need to toil for a living or worry about household chores; simply being with her children and living peacefully was her only wish in life.

"Play slowly, and come drink when you're thirsty." Qin Huairu's gentle voice drifted towards the children, who turned around in response, their faces beaming with happy smiles. A sparrow landed on her shoulder, a mouse crouched at her feet, and all the spirits seemed to be close to her, as if she were the gentlest guardian of their home.

He Yuzhu had already entered the Spirit Kitchen. This kitchen, nourished by primordial spiritual energy, always maintained the most suitable temperature, ensuring the ingredients remained fresh and the spiritual fire remained gentle. Now at the late Golden Core stage, his mastery of spiritual cuisine was already complete; he didn't need to deliberately study it, and could effortlessly prepare the most tender and delicious spiritual dishes. He fetched water from the Chaos Spirit Spring, caught the fattest spiritual fish from the Spirit Lake, and paired them with the spiritual flowers and herbs from the Four Seasons Spirit Garden, his movements practiced and leisurely.

For He Yuzhu, cooking was no longer just a means of livelihood, but a joy, a way of giving, and the simplest way to make his family happy. The spirit fire burned slowly, and the aroma of the spirit food gradually spread, mingling with the fragrance of flowers, spirit sounds, and the pure energy of all spirits, filling the entire home. The spirit rats, drawn by the aroma, obediently stood guard at the entrance to the spirit kitchen, neither making a sound nor causing a disturbance, simply waiting quietly for the occasional crumbs of spirit food to fall, their appearance exceptionally docile.

Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong walked out of the Immortal Abode side by side. The two elderly men, both at the early stage of the Golden Core realm, had jet-black hair and beards and walked steadily, showing no signs of old age. They didn't join the crowd, but instead picked up the chessboard and pieces from the Spirit Bamboo Study and sat down beside the Tranquil Lotus Platform. A gentle breeze caressed their faces, the fragrance of lotus flowers soothed their minds, and spiritual music filled their ears. The two slowly played chess, each move silent, not concerned with winning or losing, but simply to pass the time.

"In this home, even the days pass more slowly, and the heart is at peace." Yan Bugui placed a piece and sighed softly, "In the mortal world, I couldn't get through a day without planning. Now, it's much better. Every day is leisurely, and every year is peaceful. I don't even have to use my brain much."

Liu Haizhong smiled and nodded, his gaze falling on the children playing and the gentle spirits not far away: "Slow is good, slow is the best way to savor the taste of life. For us old bones, to be able to live a long and peaceful life in such a paradise is the greatest blessing. What more could we ask for?"

The two exchanged a smile and continued their game. Time flowed slowly across the chessboard, carefree and unrestrained. The troubles of the mundane world, the vicissitudes of time, and the complexities of human nature all vanished at this moment, leaving only the purest tranquility.

The Jia family of four slowly emerged. Jia Dongxu, Jia Zhangshi, and Jia Geng were all at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, their expressions peaceful and their demeanor composed. They didn't deliberately approach or avoid anyone; they simply picked up a spirit cloth from the courtyard and gently wiped the stone table, stone benches, and the jade steps. All the spirits cooperated with them in perfect harmony: spirit rats cleaned debris from the crevices, spirit sparrows pecked away dust from the stone surfaces, and spirit rabbits used their soft fur to wipe away the dirt. Humans and spirit creatures worked together to maintain their home, their movements tacit and harmonious.

Madam Jia gently and carefully wiped the doors and windows of the Immortal Abode, a faint smile on her face. She had once been harsh, anxious, and full of resentment, but nurtured by the Eternal Home, her heart had been filled with tenderness, becoming peaceful, content, and kind. She knew that as long as she guarded this home and this peace, it would be the best refuge in her life.

After wiping the stone table, Jia Geng slowly walked to Bang Geng's side and joined him in keeping the spirit deer company. The two children stood side by side, silent yet exceptionally harmonious. The grudges of the mortal world had long since vanished; now they were simply family who had grown up together, enjoying undisturbed time together in the long years of immortality.

Qin Lindong slowly stood up, walked down the central stone platform, and stepped onto the warm, smooth jade steps. He didn't deliberately approach anyone or disturb any spirits; he simply walked quietly, observing everything before him.

He watched the children playing with the spirits, watched Qin Huairu gently watching over them, watched He Yuzhu cooking spirit food, watched the old man playing chess in peace, watched the four members of the Jia family managing the courtyard obediently, watched the spirits living peacefully, and watched the entire home quietly flowing through time.

The power of the ninth level of the Golden Core lay dormant within his body, and his mind, which had returned to the Dao, was perfectly complete. He had once traversed the bloody storms of the cultivation world, witnessed the survival of the fittest, and shouldered the heavy responsibility of protecting his family. Now, all burdens had been lifted, all dangers had been averted, and all his wishes had been fulfilled.

In the three outer continents, time remains cruel, sects inflict strife, demonic beasts rage, cultivators struggle, life and death are unpredictable, and time flies by, yet it is filled with suffering and conflict. Countless people pursue immortality, yet they do not know that the most precious thing about immortality is not the length of life, but the peacefulness of life.

In the Eternal Home, longevity is not suffering, not loneliness, not struggle, but companionship, spiritual connection, warmth, and peace. Time here has no end, yet every moment is filled with tenderness; years here are without turmoil, yet every second is worth cherishing.

Before they knew it, the aroma of the spiritual dishes had reached its peak. He Yuzhu brought out one after another of the delicious and visually appealing spiritual dishes and arranged them neatly on the stone table in the center of the courtyard. Spiritual fish stewed with spiritual spring water, spiritual rice steamed with spiritual flowers, spiritual fruit honey wine, and spiritual bamboo shoot soup—each dish radiated a warm, spiritual light and had an enticing aroma.

Everyone in the courtyard sat down in turn, without distinction of rank, hierarchy, or barriers, just like the most ordinary family, quietly waiting for the meal to begin. Wanling quietly stood guard by the table, Lingxi perched on the corner, Lingtu squatted at their feet, Lingque alighted on a branch, and Lingshu hid under the steps, not disturbing the meal, not competing for food, but simply providing gentle company.

Qin Lindong sat upright in the main seat, gently picking up his chopsticks, and everyone then joined in to enjoy the spiritual meal. There was no loud noise or idle chatter at the table, only the soft sounds of chewing and gentle spiritual music, creating a warm and peaceful atmosphere. Children ate small bites of spiritual cakes, their lips stained with honey, looking adorable; adults chewed slowly, enjoying the double gentleness of the spiritual food and the passage of time; the elderly closed their eyes to savor the meal, their faces filled with contentment.

After the meal, He Yuzhu automatically cleared away the dishes and chopsticks, and the spirit kitchen cleaned itself automatically. Everything was in perfect order, requiring no instructions and no effort.

The afternoon grew increasingly leisurely. Children rested on the long, grassy couches of the Immortal Abode, with all the spirits guarding their sides, chasing away mosquitoes and ensuring their peaceful sleep. Qin Huairu sat on the Lotus Platform of Tranquility, closing her eyes and concentrating, enjoying the refreshing lotus fragrance and achieving mental clarity. He Yuzhu sat by the Spirit Lake, fishing leisurely, with spirit fish automatically taking the bait. Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong continued their game of chess, enjoying the peaceful atmosphere. The four members of the Jia family sat in the Four Seasons Spirit Garden, quietly admiring the flowers, with all the spirits by their side.

Qin Lindong stood atop the cave, hands clasped behind his back, overlooking the peaceful and undisturbed homeland. Gentle sunlight bathed everything in a warm golden glow. Time seemed to stand still at this moment; there was no past, no future, only the tranquility and fulfillment of the present.

There was no construction, no breakthrough, no opportunity, and no upheaval.

Only by living peacefully and undisturbed, with family always by your side, can you find companionship among all spirits.

This is the most authentic daily life in Eternal Home.

This is the most precious aspect of longevity.

As the sun slowly sets, painting the sky a gentle orange-red, the soothing sounds of nature still linger, the fragrance of flowers still fills the air, all spirits remain docile, and all remain at peace. Night is about to fall, but the tranquility of our home will never end.

Undisturbed by time, living peacefully for a long time.

May you be free from worries year after year, and live a long and happy life together.
