Courtyard House: My Time Travel is a Bit Too Strong

After a moment's thought, he chose a compromise—to start with the foundations of the major sects.

Southern Shaolin, Northern Shaolin, Emei, Qingcheng... he also explored the Wudang Mountain lineage to its fullest extent.

"In less than two years, I have honed dozens of superior martial arts skills to perfection."

The Yi Jin Jing, Duan Gu Jing, Xi Sui Jing... even the Tiger Roar Golden Bell Cover technique has reached its pinnacle.

Learning new skills at this point is like a fish in water, unstoppable and effortless.

It's like a doctoral student rediscovering elementary arithmetic; they can do it effortlessly as soon as they pick up a pen.

Aside from his daily, unwavering practice of dual cultivation and meditation, he spends almost all his time on martial arts.

With Xiaobai at the helm of Yaoyang Group and He Yuzhu and his team overseeing various aspects, he doesn't need to worry about anything.

With a mind free of worries, one can make daily progress and one's strength will increase accordingly.

The stones from other mountains can also be used for my own purposes; some techniques complement each other and become brighter the more you practice them.

"I've thoroughly mastered the several books that were unearthed from the Ming Dynasty tombs."

"Those books about the ancient tombs from the Yuan Dynasty also topped the charts."

……

"The Qi Refining and Spirit Cultivation Method unearthed from the Xia Dynasty tombs has only reached the threshold, barely making it into the basics."

A rough calculation shows that I have been practicing martial arts for more than ten years, which feels like a lifetime ago.

"A copy of Earth lacks spiritual energy, and the primordial energy of the Earth has long since dried up."

"The energy absorbed by the treasure basin is only enough for replication; it cannot be used to nourish cultivation."

He took a deep breath, roused himself, and began to test his own strength.

"Can I lift 100,000 jin with just my physical body?"

One ton is two thousand catties, so one hundred thousand catties is fifty tons.

"If one were to activate the Yin-Yang True Qi, the limit would be approximately 103,000 jin."

"With the combined power of mental strength and true qi, he can lift up to 105,000 jin."

Calming himself down, he then measured his speed:

"Relying purely on physical strength, the sprint speed is about 200 meters per second;"

With a surge of true energy, it soared to 220 meters;

When the essence, energy, and spirit are combined and unleashed, the speed can reach 300 meters per second.

Relying solely on mental power for flight, the fastest one can reach is a little over a hundred meters.

Once his heartbeat calmed down, he decided to create a martial art that suited him.

The Pangu Visualization Technique is the most advanced spirit-refining method in his possession, and he is currently unable to improve it at his current level.

If other methods of refining the spirit are forcibly added, it will be superfluous and counterproductive.

He knew this in his heart, so he used the dual cultivation principle of the Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic as the foundation and embedded different Qi cultivation methods layer by layer.

"Tentatively titled 'The True Scripture of Yin and Yang,' let's try its effects through stillness first?"

Sit cross-legged and guide the Yin and Yang Qi to flow slowly along the meridians and acupoints.

"The flow rate of true qi has increased by about 30%, but the purity has been slightly reduced, dropping by about 20%."

Through repeated trials and adjustments, the meditation section of the "Yin Yang True Scripture" finally reached a state of harmony.

Inspired, Lin Quan repeatedly refined and tested the dynamic exercises section of the Yin-Yang True Scripture.

Static exercises can be practiced alone, but dynamic exercises require the cooperation of two people—one yin and one yang, responding to each other, neither can be missing.

"He's in his early fifties, but looks like he's just over thirty."

Looking at his reflection in the mirror, Lin Quan smiled slightly, his heart filled with joy.

Under the continuous nourishment of Yin-Yang True Qi, Qin Huairu, Qin Jingru, Jin Huimin and the others had skin as smooth as jade and bright eyes, looking no more than twenty-five or twenty-six years old.

Having no shortage of partners for dual cultivation, he devoted himself wholeheartedly to the iteration and verification of dynamic exercises.

"Derived from the dual cultivation method of the Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic, the newly compiled dynamic exercises allow for smoother integration of Qi and blood, and a deeper connection between mind and spirit."

Once the dynamic exercises of the Yin-Yang True Scripture were nearly perfected, he turned to deducing the techniques of body refinement.

"The foundation of body refinement lies in physical constitution, followed by defense, then strength, and finally swiftness."

Over half a year, he disassembled, reassembled, and refined nine unique martial arts techniques, including the Yi Jin Jing, Duan Gu Jing, Xi Sui Jing, Jin Zhong Zhao, Tie Bu Shan, Long Xiang Ban Ruo Gong, Jing Gang Bu Hua Shen Gong, Ba Bao Ying Qi Gong, Long Yin Jin Zhong Zhao, and Hu Xiao Tie Bu Shan, and fused them into one.

"The 'immortal' symbolizes its endless vitality; the dragon and elephant represent its immense power to uproot mountains—hence the name 'The Immortal Dragon and Elephant Kung Fu'."

Based on this, he then incorporated other body-refining essentials layer by layer, repeatedly honing his skills.

Time flows like a stream through the cracks in the rocks, and more than a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

"With my current perspective and cultivation level, this technique has reached its current limit."

"There is the 'Pangu Great God Visualization Technique' for refining the spirit, the 'Yin Yang True Scripture' for refining the qi, and the 'Dragon Elephant Undying Technique' for refining the body."

"Fist, leg, knife, light footwork, and body techniques should each have their own distinct style."

Over a month, he meticulously analyzed more than a hundred different boxing and kicking routines and condensed them into eighty-one moves.

"The fist follows the leg, and the leg borrows the momentum of the fist; they are one. Let's just call it the 'Fist of Time'."

In the midst of the blooming moon, nine sword techniques emerged from their cocoon and were named "The Sword Techniques of Time".

After three months of arduous training, he incorporated body techniques and lightness skills into his breathing rhythm and footwork, creating "Time Without a Trace".

"The 'Fist of Time,' 'Knife of Time,' 'Traces of Time,' 'Dragon and Elephant Undying Skill,' and 'Yin-Yang True Scripture' did not come out of thin air, but were rebuilt on the shoulders of predecessors. If you obtain a good skill in the future, you should dismantle, integrate, modify, and use it as before."

A few days later, the elderly woman passed away peacefully. Her funeral was barely over when Yi Zhonghai also quietly departed.

"The two old folks were both over eighty years old, and they passed away peacefully in their old age. That's a blessing," Lin Quan sighed softly, a hint of melancholy flashing in his eyes.

"I never expected that an old man would make such a choice." He Yuzhu's voice was strained, his admiration mixed with heartache.

Based on his physical condition, Yi Zhonghai could have lived for another three to five years, but no one expected that he would decide to join his wife so early.

Qin Huairu and Qin Jingru silently wiped away the tears from the corners of their eyes.

"We... will be here soon too." Yan Bugui said in a low voice, looking at the white banners in the mourning hall.

"This life has been worthwhile." The third aunt smiled serenely. With five generations under one roof and children and grandchildren surrounding her, she had no regrets.

For ordinary people, living a life free from illness and pain is already a rare and fulfilling experience.

Countless people are worn down by illness, living a life worse than death, enduring hardship until the very end, leaving only withered bodies and mournful cries.

When faced with a terminal illness, money can't buy life; it only buys a longer period of suffering.

The wealthy lie in the ICU on life support, conscious but losing their dignity;

The poor grit their teeth and endure the pain, curling up in the corner of the bed or quietly swallowing a handful of pills—the fierce silence in their actions makes one's throat tighten and one's heart warm.

After years of dedicated research, Yaoyang Drug Research Center has successfully tackled several stubborn diseases.

Targeted cancer drugs that cost millions per injection in the past are now mass-produced by pharmaceutical companies and can be taken home at an affordable price.

It's only natural that after more than a decade of investing real money and countless hours of effort, all that was put into getting a few life-saving prescriptions was returned.

Less than two years after its return, a wave of emigration swept through Hong Kong.

Many Hong Kong people are going to great lengths to get labeled as American, resorting to all sorts of methods.

A group of wealthy locals, having just obtained their US green cards, immediately put their properties and shops up for sale, eager to cash out and leave the country.

"Housing prices haven't fallen sharply enough? I'll add fuel to the fire."

"Taking the money earned in Hong Kong and going to become a second-class citizen? You're dreaming."

At Lin Quan's command, Yaoyang Real Estate lowered prices across the board for a "fire sale".
