Courtyard House: My Time Travel is a Bit Too Strong

Qiao Jingjing glanced at Li Hanyi and smiled, "Speaking of wine, the one that Sister Hanyi brought is the best—it's so fragrant it's intoxicating, and so strong it's intoxicating."

Lin Quan smiled upon hearing this; how could he not understand her implied meaning?

Clearly, he had his eye on the private cellar of Baili Dongjun, the great city lord of Snow Moon City and a renowned wine connoisseur.

Upon hearing this, Li Hanyi raised an eyebrow, her eyes flashed, and then a knowing smile quietly appeared on her lips.

"Since everyone's been asking about it, I'll find some time to ask my senior brother for a few more jars..."

Despite being the most skilled and possessing the strongest sword intent among the three city lords, Baili Dongjun is the laziest man in Snow Moon City, the one who truly shirks his responsibilities.

He was unwavering in his commitment to brewing, tasting, and storing wine; he completely shirked all other matters, big and small!

What about Li Hanyi? Aside from practicing swordsmanship at dawn and dusk and engaging in secluded breathing exercises, she rarely gets involved in worldly affairs.

The burden of the entire Snow Moon City rests almost entirely on Sikong Changfeng's shoulders. This third city lord manages to keep all the trivial matters in perfect order, even turning the account books into worn-out ledgers.

As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp glint flashed in Lin Quan's eyes, like a flame licking a deep pool.

"Hanyi, you said—what if we used spiritual plants from the Martial Soul World, living grass-type soul beasts, or even hundred-year-old Vermilion Fruit Vine and Frostheart Orchid as ingredients..."

"And then, through the hands of Baili Dongjun, who have brewed wine that has been steeped in the essence of time and weathered countless tribulations..."

Swish!Swish!Swish!

Before he could finish speaking, the girls in the hall all looked up, their eyes shining, and even their breathing became lighter.

Even Li Hanyi's fingertips paused slightly, and a flicker of fire quietly rose in the depths of her eyes.

It should be known that ordinary grains and mountain springs, in the hands of Baili Dongjun, can be brewed into a miraculous wine that can intoxicate swordsmen and revive those withered veins.

If it were replaced by those living creatures and spiritual materials in the Martial Soul World that absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, it would be more than just icing on the cake.

Even if we can't refine the legendary Nine-Turn Immortal Wine, the Marrow Cleansing Spirit Wine and the Foundation Strengthening Divine Wine, which have effects comparable to the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Pill, might truly be able to settle the world with just one jar!

"I'll go talk to my senior brother about it later."

Before Li Hanyi finished speaking, Qiao Jingjing and the others smiled in unison, their eyes filled with barely suppressed excitement.

Amidst laughter and chatter, time slips silently through our fingers...

After everyone put down their bowls and chopsticks and looked out the window, they realized that dusk had already soaked the horizon, and the clouds were tinged with a warm orange-pink hue.

The next morning, Qiao Jingjing and the others looked radiant, their skin glowing with moisture. After washing up, they each got to work.

After the women had all left, Lin Quan and Chen Xueru slowly got up and rinsed their mouths and washed their faces.

"Fortunately, the Vajra Indestructible Prajna Bell has already reached a minor level of mastery..."

"Otherwise, if I relied solely on the crystal core to replenish my energy, I'm afraid I'd be bedridden and unable to get up today."

As Chen Xueru listened, her ears burned slightly, and she secretly rolled her eyes playfully.

For the next two days, Lin Quan rested and recuperated in the main world. In his spare time, he would take Chen Xueru out to visit people in the streets and alleys.

Once he was full of energy and everything was in order, he summoned the women again to discuss the next steps.

The Time Mirror flashed, and as soon as the news reached them, everyone had gathered in the hall.

Before he could speak, Lin Quan's gaze had already slowly swept across the entire room—

Except for Chen Xueru, all others have already mastered the art of immortality and longevity.

Qiao Jingjing, Wang Yuyan, and the others have all switched to cultivation, and their true energy has been transformed into a clear, long-lasting, ageless true energy.

Upon closer inspection, Chen Xueru's aura remained as calm and composed as ever.

Qiao Jingjing, Zhu Zhuqing, Li Hanyi, and Wang Yuyan, on the other hand, were like spring streams breaking through ice and new branches sprouting, surrounded by an indescribable burst of vitality!

Lin Quan paused for a moment, then said in a clear voice, "Next, let's go to the Martial Soul World together."

"First, to help Hanyi collect the final five soul rings;"

"Secondly, to help Xue Ru awaken her martial spirit and obtain the first ring;"

"Thirdly, hunt some spirit beasts along the way, and prepare plenty of fresh meat so that you can stew soup, roast meat, and refine medicine later without any delay."

He paused slightly, then looked up and surveyed the crowd: "What do you all think?"

The women exchanged smiles and said in unison, "We'll do whatever you say."

—These words were spoken without hesitation or discussion.

Li Hanyi immediately reached into her robes and took out a scroll of green bamboo slips, the bamboo joints warm and the ink still fresh.

"This is the 'Wine Classic' that I got from my senior brother."

"The recipes for thirty-six exquisite wines are all contained within."

"From the timing of ingredient selection and the control of heat, to the sealing incantation and the method of sobering up, nothing is omitted."

Turning my head again, in the mirrored space, on that row of wine racks—

Nearly a hundred newly added ceramic jars stand quietly in formation, each capable of holding more than five pounds. The mud seal on the jar mouths is not yet dry, and a mellow aroma of wine faintly emanates from them.

It was a spoil of war that Li Hanyi "borrowed" from Baili Dongjun after returning to Snow Moon City.

After two thorough searches, she emptied nine and a half out of ten jars of Baili Dongjun's aged wine. Seeing that she was about to find even the lees if she continued searching, Baili Dongjun gritted her teeth and slapped her most treasured book, "The Drunken Mystic Scripture," directly into Li Hanyi's hands.

Lin Quan took the booklet, which smelled of aged ink, and flipped through it with his fingertips, quickly scanning a few pages.

Any fine wine that can be included in this scripture is a renowned masterpiece in the world of high-level martial arts.

What's even more eye-opening is that many wine recipes contain hidden secrets, and drinking them can expand the meridians and increase vitality, cleanse the bones and marrow, and even enlighten one's aptitude and reshape one's innate nature!

"Zhu Qing, take a look quickly. Do you have any of the medicinal herbs listed in these prescriptions in the Martial Soul World?"

Before Lin Quan could finish speaking, he had already handed the scroll to Zhu Zhuqing.

Zhu Zhuqing took it and carefully read through each page.

Although the names of a few herbs and plants differ slightly, most of the raw materials can be found on the Martial Soul Continent.

Even more surprisingly, there are several types that are actually living plant-type soul beasts!

After hearing her words, Lin Quan and the other girls exchanged glances, a glint of light flashing in their eyes.

"Walk!"

With a flick of his wrist, the scroll disappeared into the mirror's space, and he said no more.

At a command, everyone vanished like smoke, leaving only a gentle breeze in the main world.

When I opened my eyes again, I was already standing on the familiar blue brick floor of the manor in Tiandou City.

Lin Quan's eyes flickered slightly as he glanced at Qiao Jingjing.

She nodded in understanding, and with a slight thought, her spiritual power surged forth like a tide—within a kilometer radius of her, falling leaves swayed, insects chirped and flapped their wings, every detail was clearly visible.

The perception of a Level 4 Awakener is far beyond the norm.

If we hold back now, the coverage area is already like this; if we expand fully, the coverage area could more than double.

If explored in one direction, it can stretch for miles, like a needle piercing a secluded valley.

After a moment, she withdrew her mental power and said calmly, "It's quiet around here."

The tension on everyone's shoulders finally eased.

With her current level of cultivation, she is more than capable of crushing any titled Douluo in this world—if things really got serious, even the hiding places of a 100,000-year-old soul beast would be hard to escape her divine sense sweep.

With no hidden dangers, everyone relaxed and stretched out.

Chen Xueru looked around and couldn't help but whisper, "So this is the world of Martial Souls..."

"The style of this manor is just like those small Western-style houses in Beijing."
