Courtyard House: My Time Travel is a Bit Too Strong

After waiting for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Qiao Jingjing suddenly opened her eyes, her gaze clear and bright.

Almost the instant she opened her eyes, Lin Quan and the other two had already arrived, congratulating her in unison:

Congratulations, Sister Jingjing, on successfully breaking through your cultivation level!

Qiao Jingjing smiled slightly, unable to hide her joy: "Finally... I've reached level 4."

She slowly clenched her fist, feeling the surging, sharp spiritual energy within her body, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart.

A moment later, Lin Quan looked around at the ravaged mountaintop and was about to speak—

Li Hanyi calmly replied, "Don't worry about it. I will immediately order the disciples of Snow Moon City to clean it up."

"Then I'll trouble you with the winter clothes."

"Let's go back to the village and talk about it then."

Before Lin Quan could finish speaking, Qiao Jingjing's mind stirred, and her immense mental power, like clouds supporting the moon, steadily lifted the three of them up.

Lin Quan, Wang Yuyan, and Li Hanyi all floated into the air, their clothes fluttering as they rode the wind.

In just over ten breaths, the four had already returned to the manor courtyard of Snow Moon Inner City at the foot of the mountain.

The moment her toes touched the ground, Wang Yuyan couldn't help but say:

"Sister Jingjing, your breakthrough was truly terrifying!"

"Within a hundred meters, the soil is churning, the rocks are peeling, even the pavilion where you were meditating—"

"Not even a trace remained; it turned directly into a wisp of smoke!"

She had only spoken halfway when Wang Yuyan's eyes suddenly lit up, as if struck by a thought, and her tone immediately changed:

"By the way, when Sister Jingjing broke through, Brother Quan and I tried it several times..."

"We've actually stumbled upon a shortcut—a way to completely purify the lingering resentment within a soul ring in one go!"

When it came to how spiritual power could strip away resentment and cleanse lingering souls, she didn't hold back at all, and explained the entire deduction process to Qiao Jingjing in detail.

Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed across Qiao Jingjing's eyes, like the wind sweeping across a lake, leaving ripples that hadn't yet subsided, yet she was already moved.

As soon as Wang Yuyan finished speaking, Lin Quan raised his eyes and glanced at the three girls in front of him, his voice steady yet with a hint of amusement: "Right now, everyone's cultivation level has steadily advanced by one level..."

"Jingjing has even advanced to the fourth-tier Awakened One! Shouldn't we throw a big celebration to mark the occasion?"

Upon hearing this, Qiao Jingjing and the other two exchanged smiles, and without hesitation, nodded in unison, "Of course! We really should have a good drink!"

Having made up her mind, Qiao Jingjing casually asked, "Should we call Zhu Qing and the others over, or should we all return to the main world together?"

Lin Quan blurted out, "Of course, we'll go back to the main world!"

"From now on, all celebrations, discussions, and important decisions shall be made in the Lord's world."

The three women exchanged glances upon hearing this, and even the usually aloof Li Hanyi nodded slightly in response: "Appropriate."

Before she finished speaking, she flicked her sleeves and soared into the sky like a snow crane, disappearing from the manor gate in the blink of an eye.

Watching her figure disappear into the distance, Lin Quan immediately took Qiao Jingjing and Wang Yuyan and stepped back into the main world.

Zhu Zhuqing and Chen Xueru were guarding the courtyard when the three of them suddenly appeared out of thin air, and they were stunned.

Upon seeing Qiao Jingjing's face clearly, the two women's eyes lit up, and they exclaimed in surprise, "Sister Jingjing, you've broken through to a higher realm too?!"

Qiao Jingjing smiled and nodded: "Just stabilized at the fourth-tier Awakener."

"Now, besides Xue Ru and Han Yi, my husband, Zhu Qing, and Yu Yan have all entered the third stage."

"As soon as Brother Quan called, everyone rushed back for a lively gathering."

Before the words were finished—

Swish!

Li Hanyi's figure reappeared in the courtyard.

Everyone's gaze shifted to the corner of the mirror, where wine jars had been piled up like a small mountain.

A rough count revealed at least thirty jars, each overflowing, with each jar weighing at least five jin (2.5 kg).
