Courtyard House: My Time Travel is a Bit Too Strong

As long as you have enough money, food is no problem. Not to mention the meat that Qiao Jingjing needs—in that world, hundreds and thousands of soul beasts roam everywhere, their size often as large as mountains!

One or two adult soul beasts alone are enough to sustain them for several days.

Seeing Zhu Zhuqing nod, Lin Quan and Qiao Jingjing quickly exchanged a glance and each secretly let out a long sigh of relief.

With the secret supply line of the Martial Soul World, Lin Quan was finally able to relieve some of the anxious and busy burden on his shoulders.

As long as this world remains peaceful, no matter how turbulent Qiao Jingjing's world changes, or how Zhu Zhuqing's homeland, where she just signed the contract, is turned upside down, they will always have a clear path, a way out, and a sense of security.

"Next, it will be tough on Zhuqing..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Quan suddenly paused, flicked his wrist, and a crack quietly appeared in the space within the mirror, from which a heavy little yellow gold bar slid into his palm.

"Zhu Qing, take a look at these gold bars—can they be used interchangeably with the Gold Soul Coins that circulate over there?"

Swah——

With a flash of golden light, Zhu Zhuqing didn't wait for a word. With a slight thought, her storage soul tool hummed and activated, and a warm, gleaming gold soul coin appeared in her palm.

"Quan... Brother Quan, this is our local gold soul coin. Take a look, is there anything different about it...?"

She curled her fingertips slightly, gently placing the gold coin beside Lin Quan's hand. Her ears suddenly flushed slightly, and she quietly took half a step back.

Lin Quan raised the corners of his lips, his smile spreading silently.

He reached out and took the two items, rubbing them between his fingertips and comparing them repeatedly, his eyes sharp as a ruler, measuring them meticulously.

After a long pause, he nodded: "Apart from being slightly higher in purity, the texture, shape, and weight are exactly the same."

"Jingjing, come and take a look too."

As soon as he finished speaking, the gold bars and gold soul coins were steadily handed to Qiao Jingjing.

She took it, examined it closely for a long time, and ran her fingertips over the edges to check the texture. Finally, she nodded: "They are indeed the same—both are real gold, just a little different in purity."

"Since there are no issues with currency exchange, let's finalize the details as soon as possible."

The three sat around discussing the matter in detail, and an hour passed in the blink of an eye. As night deepened, everything that needed to be decided, divided, and prepared was settled.

Just before getting up, Lin Quan suddenly stopped and looked back at Zhu Zhuqing: "By the way, Zhuqing, don't rush to absorb the soul ring."

"With the supply of high-quality crystal cores from Jingjing in the future, your cultivation will not be stuck at a bottleneck."

"Moreover, in this world, there are no restrictions on the growth of soul power; you can just steadily move forward."

"Once the foundation is solid and the realm is stable, then choose the most suitable time to absorb the soul ring—at that time, although a 100,000-year soul ring will be difficult to obtain, a 10,000-year soul ring will definitely be obtained."

Before he finished speaking, he had already turned and left, his clothes fluttering slightly, leaving only a lingering impression.

Zhu Zhuqing only slowly came back to her senses when that figure completely disappeared into the shadows of the porch.

Startled, she opened her eyes wide and unconsciously dug her fingertips into her palm.

If Lin Quan hadn't pointed that out to her, she would never have thought of this path!

Other Soul Masters face a challenge every ten levels, which cannot be broken without Soul Rings; but she was born without this limitation!

As long as the crystal cores are continuously supplied, one's cultivation level will rise steadily like the rising tide of spring water. When everything is in place, and the soul ring is then introduced into the body, the refinement of power and the perfection of soul skills will surely reach their peak!

"Sister Zhuqing, if you don't mind, shall we share a room tonight?"

"I'm incredibly curious about the martial spirits from your world..."

Watching Lin Quan's figure disappear into the distance, Qiao Jingjing grabbed Zhu Zhuqing's wrist and rushed towards her room with swift steps.

Looking at Qiao Jingjing, who suddenly became excited and eager, Zhu Zhuqing had just opened her mouth, but before she could say anything...

But before she could even register what was happening, her eyes still darting around, she was pulled inside, and the door clicked shut.

Although Qiao Jingjing has awakened her spiritual power and her cultivation is solid, who wouldn't want to have another trump card to turn the tide if she could truly condense a martial soul? As for how the two of them sat down and had a private talk after entering the house, let's leave that aside for now.

The camera then shifts back to Lin Quan. He steps into his room, his steps steady, but his expression subtly relaxes.

Thinking about the world the Time-Space Mirror was anchoring to this time and the chosen contractor, Lin Quan felt a slight ripple in his heart.

With the Martial Soul World as a pathway, Qiao Jingjing no longer needs to worry about shortages of food, clothing, shelter, and daily necessities.

If you really had to list the only person he was currently concerned about, it would only be Zhu Zhuqing.

But Lin Quan was unaware that this worry had long been quietly smoothed over by reality.

Putting aside the fact that Zhu Zhuqing had already formed a contract with him; just considering Qiao Jingjing's continuous supply of crystal cores, coupled with the natural advantage of this world's abundant spiritual energy and unimpeded cultivation—the crossroads of fate were right in front of them, and if they had even a sliver of clarity, the answer would be unwavering.

Moreover, the Time-Space Mirror had already recognized him as its master. With just a thought, he could break the contract at any time and release Zhu Zhuqing from existence.

"Why think about these things? The position of Mirror Master is already in my hands..."

With a whisper, Lin Quan simply shook off his distracting thoughts.

With a slight thought, the space within the mirror opened in response to his command, and a crystal core floated to his palm. He tilted his head back and swallowed it.

A warm current surged forth instantly, like spring water breaking through ice, overflowing through his limbs and bones. Every cell in his body seemed to relax, and even his bones felt a tingling, light sensation.

That gentle, warm energy slowly rose, seeped in, and then subsided. As the last wisp of heat dissipated, two hours had quietly slipped away.

Having not slept all night, Lin Quan refined three first-level crystal cores in succession before finally concluding his cultivation practice.

After a short rest, the sunlight outside the window had already quietly diffused into a bluish-gray hue.

Click, click, click...

He stood up and stretched, his muscles clashing together, producing a series of crisp sounds.

"happy!"

Exhaling a long breath, Lin Quan calmed his mind and examined his inner self, carefully experiencing the changes throughout his body.

After a night of arduous training, all three crystal cores were melted down, and his strength increased by about two hundred pounds.

In just a few days, his physical condition has improved dramatically. Now, when he exerts force with one arm, he can steadily approach 700 pounds!

Sizzle—sizzle—

The moment the thought arose, arcs of purple and white lightning suddenly wrapped around his fingertips, then spread to his arm, crackling softly and leaping with electric light.

He silently sensed that the power of thunder was clearly more solid and tamed, and its aura was also much stronger.

Once the force of a thousand pounds is applied, this thunderous intent will naturally break through its current level and undergo a complete transformation.

"It's stable... Just a few more days and we'll be there soon."

He sighed softly, turned around, and pushed open the door to leave.

To everyone's surprise, as soon as they stepped out of the courtyard gate, they saw that Qiao Jingjing and Zhu Zhuqing had already tidied up and were sitting in the courtyard.

The bowls and chopsticks on the stone table were neatly arranged, the hot porridge was steaming, and the side dishes were light and refreshing. Breakfast was already prepared.

Before Lin Quan could speak, Qiao Jingjing looked up and said in a clear voice, "Go wash up and eat while it's hot."

Lin Quan raised his eyebrows slightly, smiled faintly, nodded, and walked towards the side room.

After finishing a simple home-cooked breakfast, Qiao Jingjing glanced at Zhu Zhuqing and said, "Zhuqing, don't forget what we talked about yesterday."

Before she finished speaking, she had already turned to leave.

Lin Quan suddenly spoke up: "Jingjing, don't forget the thing I asked you to do."
