Courtyard House: My Time Travel is a Bit Too Strong

"Weapon spirits can be weapons, bells and tripods, zithers and flutes, even an old lamp, half a broken stele... anything with spirit and the ability to bear soul power can be a spirit."

Lin Quan explained the origins of his martial spirit in a concise and to-the-point manner, without reservation.

Having just finished explaining the connection between the crystal core Qiao Jingjing handed him and Zhu Zhuqing's world, he changed the subject and continued, "Yu Yan and the others' world is a true martial arts world."

"The source of the 'Formless Divine Skill' we are currently practicing is right there..."

Then, he succinctly sketched out the martial arts map of Wang Yuyan's world: acquired training strengthens muscles and bones, innate ability guides qi into the meridians, and a grandmaster's wrath can change the landscape—the realms are clearly defined, without any reservations.

After listening, Li Hanyi immediately understood the deeper meaning behind his words.

His gaze was like lightning, fixed directly on Lin Quan's face, his voice clear yet carrying an unmistakable sharpness:

"You want to learn the attack methods from my world."

Lin Quan faced the beam of light and nodded openly.

Although the world she lived in still belonged to the realm of martial arts, it had long since broken free from the shackles of the mortal world and stepped into the threshold of immortal martial arts—with the completion of the Divine Travel Mystic Realm, her thoughts could travel thousands of miles, her primordial spirit was beginning to bloom, and she had already faintly glimpsed the aura of immortals.

In terms of its solid foundation, broad scope, and profound potential, it far surpasses the world of Wang Yuyan.

If they were to receive his true teachings, and combined with the crystal cores, secret manuals, and martial spirit resources they had at hand, Lin Quan and the others' cultivation would advance by leaps and bounds.

He had barely nodded when, before Li Hanyi could speak, he continued:

"At present, it seems that you are unilaterally conceding; but when I reach a higher level..."

"The interconnected world will only become more numerous and stronger."

"By then, you will also be part of it, one of the beneficiaries."

"Besides—" He paused, raising his hand to indicate the crystal core lying quietly in his palm, "this thing is not useless to you."

He stopped there, saying nothing more, and simply gazed at Li Hanyi, waiting for an answer.

Four pairs of eyes fell on her.

Li Hanyi lowered her eyes, remaining silent, only focusing her breath into her dantian, as if weighing the weight of heaven and earth.

After a few breaths, she raised her eyes, a slight smile playing on her lips, and uttered two words:

"Can."

"Not just all the martial arts I've practiced..."

"I will offer you all the rare books, secret scrolls, incomplete scores, and manuscripts in the Snow Moon City Library, as long as you can decipher them."

As soon as the words were spoken, smiles appeared on the faces of Lin Quan, Qiao Jingjing, Zhu Zhuqing, and Wang Yuyan almost simultaneously—relaxed, confident, and unable to hide their joy.

If she opens her mouth, everything will turn around.

Just then, Li Hanyi's gaze shifted to the crystal core, her tone calm yet probing:

"Let me try this first."

Swah——

With a flick of her wrist, Lin Quan sent the level-two crystal core flying through the air like a meteor, steadily landing in her palm.

"Just swallow it directly," he advised.

Li Hanyi glanced at it briefly, then opened her mouth and put it in her mouth. With a slight movement in her throat, the crystal core had already sunk into her stomach.

Lin Quan instinctively opened his mouth to stop him, but just as his tongue touched the root of his teeth, he suddenly paused and changed his words:

"The first time you take the crystal core, your physical body will be washed by the power—it will hurt a bit."

Besides stimulating potential supernatural abilities, the first time one ingests a crystal core, it will also cause the bones and muscles to be rebuilt and the bloodline to be cleansed...

As soon as Lin Quan finished speaking, Qiao Jingjing and the other two immediately echoed his words:

"That's right, that's right, that's right... It does sting a little when you eat crystal cores for the first time."

"hiss--"

The three of them had barely spoken when their gazes all swept towards Li Hanyi—

Her face suddenly darkened!

Boom!

In an instant, a violent, knife-like energy exploded from her body, carrying a chilling aura that shot in all directions!

Fortunately, Qiao Jingjing reacted very quickly. With a thought, her mental energy spread out like a net, instantly covering Li Hanyi's body within several meters.

Even so, the originally invisible and traceless spiritual barrier began to ripple with visible waves under the impact of this raging force...

Fortunately, after only a few breaths, the surging power receded as quickly as the tide.

Qiao Jingjing quietly breathed a sigh of relief, her fingertips loosened slightly, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

With the strength of her spiritual sense as a Level 3 Awakened, she was still feeling a bit strained after withstanding Li Hanyi's burst of power just now—if the stalemate continued for even a moment longer, the barrier might really collapse...

"Just one crystal core? And the reaction is this intense?"

Seeing Li Hanyi consciously suppress her breathing, Qiao Jingjing secretly clicked her tongue in amazement.

The four of them held their breath and stared at each other, time flowing silently. Even though Li Hanyi tried her best to suppress it, wisps of fierce energy still burst out from her body from time to time. Each time it overflowed, her body trembled slightly, and her brows furrowed slightly, revealing a struggle beneath her cold face.

"Sister Hanyi...could she really have awakened some special talent?"

Wang Yuyan and Zhu Zhuqing exchanged quick glances, a suspicion quietly rising in their minds. This wasn't just their thought; even Lin Quan and Qiao Jingjing couldn't help but hold their breath, their eyes glued to the screen.

Unbeknownst to Li Hanyi, fine beads of sweat appeared at her temples.

At first, it was not noticeable, but as the effects of the medicine surged, more and more beads of sweat gathered, their color became increasingly turbid, and their smell became stronger and stronger—in the end, they condensed into oily, sticky, black, turbid droplets, emitting a fishy and muttony odor that made people frown.

The I Ching Cleanses the Marrow!

At this moment, Li Hanyi is undergoing a transformative tempering!

However, compared to the four of them from Lin Quan, her foundation was purer and she had fewer impurities. After the entire cleansing process, only a thin layer of filthy fat was extracted from her body surface.

boom--!

A muffled thud made the air tremble slightly, and the ground seemed to shake a little.

Li Hanyi, who had been sitting cross-legged for a long time, slowly opened her eyes, her gaze as clear and bright as the first snow.

She had barely opened her mouth to speak when Wang Yuyan interrupted her with a smile:

"Sister Hanyi, please wait a moment—"

"Let's take a shower first, to refresh ourselves."

Li Hanyi paused, only then realizing the pungent odor emanating from her body and the unbearably slippery feel of her skin. When her fingertips touched a sticky substance on her shoulder, her brows immediately furrowed.

"I……"

"Come on, I'll take you there."

Before she could speak, Wang Yuyan reached out and took her wrist, leading her briskly towards the bathroom.

Watching the two women hurry away, Lin Quan and Qiao Jingjing exchanged a smile, their smiles containing a hint of mischief and understanding.

About half an hour later, Li Hanyi changed into Wang Yuyan's elegant long dress and stepped back into the living room.

Her complexion appeared even more radiant, and two faint blushes, which had not yet faded, rose on her usually aloof face, making her features even more delicate and beautiful.

Wang Yuyan pulled her to sit on the sofa, and only then did Lin Quan ask, "How effective is the crystal core?"

"Truly extraordinary—even my cultivation at the Free and Unfettered Heaven Realm was deeply shaken..."

"Having just undergone the I Ching marrow cleansing, I clearly feel that my fundamental nature has been completely renewed."

"If I had enough crystal cores to support my cultivation, my talent ceiling would probably break through the limits of common sense..." Li Hanyi paused slightly at this point.

His gaze swept lightly over Lin Quan and the other three, then he slowly continued:

"Also, it seems I've triggered what you call a special ability..."

Swah——

Upon hearing this, the four of them immediately brightened up.

Wang Yuyan couldn't contain herself any longer and blurted out, "Sister Hanyi, what kind of superpower have you awakened?"
