Courtyard House: My Time Travel is a Bit Too Strong

Compared to the painstaking process of finding suitable soul rings for each person, catching fresh sea beasts in the vast ocean is much easier.

In just a few days, hundreds of sea spirit beasts had been captured—the weakest of them had over a thousand years of cultivation, and there were quite a few giants with ten thousand years of cultivation. There were also several old sea monsters with deep auras and hidden cultivation of tens of thousands of years. All of them were captured by Lin Quan with ease, suppressed in the mirror, and awaited to be cooked.

"Walk!"

With everything settled, Lin Quan said no more, and together with Qiao Jingjing and the others, they vanished from the blue waves in an instant.

When I opened my eyes again, I was already in the vast forest of Sunset Forest!

Using the power of the Time-Space Mirror, and guided by Li Hanyi and others, they directly anchored to the valley where the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye was located and teleported there instantly.

"Husband, you're back?"

When Lin Quan and his group suddenly appeared in the valley, Li Hanyi and the others, who were in seclusion, were taken aback at first, but then their eyes lit up and they all stood up to greet them.

"Congratulations on your breakthrough, my husband!"

Congratulations to Sister Jingjing on her promotion!

As everyone's gaze swept over the aura emanating from Lin Quan and the two women, they understood immediately and offered their congratulations in a clear and enthusiastic manner.

After exchanging pleasantries, Lin Quan's gaze slowly swept over everyone, finally settling on Li Hanyi.

Her aura was still stuck at the peak of the half-step Divine Realm, but the changes within her had already been completely transformed—it was an indescribable sublimation, as if her entire body was quietly shedding its old shell, exhaling some immeasurable mystery.

Upon closer inspection, even the surrounding spiritual energy seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, flowing towards her in wisps and strands, only to be silently annihilated upon contact with her body; the extreme cold and intense power emanating from the Yin-Yang of Ice and Fire also flowed into her meridians like rivers flowing into the sea, being refined in an instant without leaving a trace of obstruction.

"Hanyi, you..."

Lin Quan couldn't hide his surprise and blurted it out.

Li Hanyi simply nodded slightly, her voice clear and melodious: "I have indeed gained some insight."

"It may take a few months or three years, but I will definitely cross that threshold."

He spoke frankly and openly, revealing his entire situation without reservation.

As soon as Li Hanyi finished speaking, Lin Quan's eyebrows did not twitch, nor did his lips move. It was as if he had already rehearsed the situation a thousand times in his mind, and his expression was as calm as a deep pool.

But Qiao Jingjing and the other girls were all stunned. Their breath caught in their throats, their chests clenched, and a chill ran down their spines—it wasn't just shock, it was tremor, the feeling of weightlessness as if they had suddenly encountered a mountain rising from the ground.

They had barely stepped into the threshold of becoming Grandmasters when their blood and qi surged like rivers and their bones and muscles were tempered like black iron.

In the blink of an eye, Li Hanyi stood before the gate of the Divine Realm, her fingertips touching the door knocker, waiting for a light knock before breaking through the door!

Even more astonishingly, she had already stepped halfway across the threshold, her true essence surging like a tide. She was just one perfect breath away from soaring into the sky and leaping into the "Divine Realm" recognized by the Martial Soul World!

If this were placed in the world of high martial arts, he would be an unparalleled sect leader who suppresses a region; but in the demon world that Fu Qingfeng came from, he would be an existence that is looked up to by all demons and revered as a "land immortal"!

After briefly explaining the changes within her body, Li Hanyi's eyes shifted slightly, her tone gentle yet carrying an undeniable expectation: "Husband, what are your plans for the future?"

At this moment, Lin Quan's cultivation had already reached the peak of the Grandmaster realm, the so-called pinnacle of "Great Freedom"—

The distance between being on the verge of spiritual travel is merely a thin sheet of paper, easily broken with a single finger.

Compared to the difficulty Li Hanyi had to comprehend the laws of heaven and earth and hone his soul, his breakthrough seemed more like a natural outcome: with a solid foundation and full of energy, he naturally achieved a breakthrough!

Swah——

All the women's eyes instantly converged on Lin Quan, their gazes filled with probing, attachment, and an undisguised burning desire.

Lin Quan met those clear, bright eyes and didn't say a word for a moment.

To be honest, he hadn't thought that far ahead.

After a moment of silence, he raised his eyes and swept his gaze across the faces of the crowd, his voice neither hurried nor slow: "As for established rules... there really aren't any at the moment."

"The original plan was to travel and observe, connect with all realms, sharpen the sword while traveling, and forge the bones through experience."

"Since I met you, this thought has never wavered."

"If I had to say what I truly desire... it would simply be immortality and carefree existence."

He made no attempt to conceal or hesitate; every word he uttered resounded with conviction, as frank and open as if splitting mountains and ridges.

After hearing this, the women exchanged glances, their eyes conveying a tacit understanding.

Before anyone could speak, Lin Quan opened his mouth again, his tone steady yet warm: "Ladies, would you be willing to accompany me on this journey?"

Before he finished speaking, several pairs of eyes lit up with astonishing brightness.

Qiao Jingjing smiled first, her voice clear and crisp: "Wherever my husband goes, we will follow."

Zhu Zhuyu gently twirled the corner of her sleeve with her fingertips, her smile warm and gentle: "I also want to see what color the clouds are in other worlds."

Fu Qingfeng's eyes flickered slightly, and he said in a low voice, "If immortality is lonely, where is the freedom? But if you were to accompany me..."

Li Hanyi listened quietly, and finally slowly continued, "...that peak view is truly worth striving for."

You say one thing, I say another; there is no argument, no hesitation, only the certainty and ease that comes from mutual understanding.

In a short while, the road ahead was cleared up as if the morning mist had dissipated.

In the days to come, Lin Quan was not in a hurry to open up the new territory.

He focused all his attention on the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire—that wondrous place where Yin and Yang converge, and where spiritual energy is both violent and pure.

I dare not even dream of wandering in the mystical realm, and it will be difficult to achieve even within three years;

But for them, the half-step into the divine realm is nothing more than a matter of accumulating knowledge and experience before unleashing its full potential—they only need to focus on honing their skills and patiently wait for the water to overflow naturally.

One or two years is enough.

At that time, Lin Quan and all the women will step into the half-step Divine Travel realm, enabling them to cross the boundary sea or defend their respective areas.

Time flows silently.

Three years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Qiao Jingjing, Zhu Zhuyu, Fu Qingfeng... along with the other women, their true essence was as refined as mercury, and their divine sense was as clear as a mirror, all of them broke through to the half-step Divine Travel realm!

Li Hanyi, who already possessed the strongest foundation and the sharpest comprehension, after three years of consolidation, finally achieved a spiritual leap overnight, officially entering the realm of divine travel!

Lin Quan's gaze swept over the familiar yet resolute faces, a slight smile playing on his lips, his voice clear and resonant like a tolling bell:

"It's time to set off—see you in the next world."

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Quan's mind suddenly went blank, as if he had been hit on the temple by a heavy hammer.

"I transmigrated? And my name is Lin Quan, a name that sounds clear and pleasant whether read forwards or backwards. I'm twenty-five years old, and both my parents are gone?"

A tall, sturdy young man, wrapped in thick cotton clothes, leaned against the well-worn gatepost in the courtyard, his gaze sweeping blankly over the people in the yard, his eyes somewhat vacant.

Three middle-aged men in their early fifties sat steadily on the old wooden benches in the center of the courtyard.

"Everyone knows the whole story. He Yuzhu, tell the truth—did you steal Xu Damao's chicken?"

"No, I'm not! I'm not a thief. What kind of business is stealing chickens? Do I look like a pickpocket?"

"Silly Zhu, where did that chicken you've been stewing on the stove, with almost every bone fragment removed, come from?"

"Bought!"

"Where did you buy it? East Gate Market or West Gate Market?"

"Ximen."

"That's strange—it takes more than forty minutes by bus to get from here to the West Gate. What time do you get off work?"

Lin Quan squinted and looked around, his heart sinking: he had actually fallen into a living, breathing version of the Love in the Courtyard.

The Qin Huairu here is more vibrant than on TV, with brighter eyes and a more graceful figure. When she smiles, the corners of her eyes curve slightly, like a spring breeze brushing against willow branches.

As he went through the original owner's memories, he knew very well that out of the twenty or so young men in the compound, nine out of ten secretly coveted her, and the original owner was no exception.

The entire courtyard housed more than 20 households, with over 120 people, young and old, crammed together among the blue bricks and gray tiles.

Besides Lin Quan, who stays at home, seven other households have members working at the Third Machinery Factory, while the remaining dozen or so households also make a living in places like alley entrances, street offices, grain stations, and grocery stores.
