Courtyard House: My Time Travel is a Bit Too Strong

Swish!Swish!Swish!

The thought had barely formed when her mind suddenly focused—

A chillingly sharp martial spirit, "Iron Horse and Ice River," suddenly appeared in his palm, its coldness penetrating to the very bone.

Four jet-black spirit rings rose up and steadily circled beneath his feet.

Upon closer inspection, one of the lines was a few shades darker in color, with denser patterns and a deeper aura—it had been refined in just a few days!

She silently looked inward for a moment, then focused her mind, and the Iron Horse, the Ice River, and the Soul Ring all vanished as if they had never appeared.

"Lin Quan...sigh..."

The whisper was as light as a feather falling to the ground, leaving only a long sigh that drifted away in the wind.

Time flows silently.

The scene shifts to the courtyard in the main world.

Lin Quan and Chen Xueru finished their lunch in a hurry. Before they could clear the table, Chen Xueru had already followed Zhu Zhuqing into the courtyard.

Zhu Zhuqing stood under the shade of a tree, her fingertips tracing the air, her movements flowing smoothly like clouds and water. Chen Xueru concentrated her mind, immersing herself entirely in the breathing techniques of the Formless Divine Skill.

Lin Quan strolled into the kitchen, took a celadon cup, poured in boiling water, and the tea leaves unfurled like sparrow tongues, releasing a delicate fragrance.

While sipping warm tea, he secretly circulated his Formless Divine Skill, quietly refining his newly acquired soul ring; another part of his mind remained focused on the stove—the paw of the dark gold dinosaur was bubbling away, its aroma growing stronger and richer.

As dusk settles outside the window, the broth in the pot slows its bubbling, the meat becomes tender and juicy.

"The bear paw stew is ready, everyone come and have a taste."

Lin Quan's thoughts stirred slightly, and the message had already been quietly spread through the Time Mirror.

Swish!Swish!Swish!

Before Lin Quan could wait any longer, Qiao Jingjing and Wang Yuyan had already quietly returned to the main world.

The two had barely steadied themselves, not even the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, when Li Hanyi appeared suddenly beside the women, as if leaving no trace on the snow...

Her gaze swept lightly over the crowd, and when it landed on Lin Quan, she paused slightly, her eyes lingering for a moment.

As if sensing something, Li Hanyi's fingertips tightened, and her ears turned slightly red. She quickly lowered her eyes to avoid his gaze.

Seeing this, Lin Quan silently raised the corners of his lips, a smile playing on his lips: "Dinner is ready, wash your hands and let's eat—"

"Jingjing, come lend a hand."

Before he finished speaking, he had already raised his hand towards Qiao Jingjing.

The women responded and gradually gathered in the restaurant. Not long after they sat down, Qiao Jingjing focused her mind and used an invisible force to lift the steaming stew pot and steadily send it into the hall.

"The paw of this Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear is a rare item in the Martial Soul World, even sect elders would fight over it."

"Let's see just how domineering it really is today!"

"Come on, everyone, don't be shy, we're family, let's eat without holding back!"

Lin Quan called out, and everyone responded with smiles, readily accepting and picking up their chopsticks.

That said, although Lin Quan's culinary skills cannot compare to those of the famous chefs in the imperial kitchen, this bear paw is of extraordinary origin—full of tendons, rich in fat and collagen, it is a top-quality ingredient by nature.

Good ingredients don't need complicated preparations; as long as the cooking time is just right, the flavor is enough to tantalize the taste buds.

The moment the first piece of meat touched my tongue, a rich and intense aroma exploded, filling my nostrils, causing my tongue to tremble slightly, and my mouth to water...

In an instant, a look of intoxication appeared on everyone's face, and their eyes shone with contentment.

After a few dozen breaths, the group exchanged smiles, none of them spoke, but their hands simultaneously quickened their movements.

The entire bear paw weighed over a hundred pounds, but in less than half an incense stick's time, it was completely eaten, leaving only a shiny, gleaming skeleton!

Chen Xueru, however, only ate a few pieces because her cultivation was still shallow and her appetite was limited; the others—Lin Quan, Qiao Jingjing, Wang Yuyan, and even the usually aloof and taciturn Li Hanyi—ate freely without any restraint.

Only after the last drop of soup was drunk did everyone stop eating, exchanging smiles with lingering satisfaction.

"My husband always said that bear paw was the best, but after actually tasting it, I know what 'best' truly means..."

"As expected of the most top-tier nourishing tonic in the Martial Soul world!"

The lingering fragrance lingers on the tongue, leaving a long-lasting aftertaste.

After everything was settled, everyone moved to the living room. Lin Quan's gaze shifted and landed on Li Hanyi: "Hanyi, you rushed over just now, is something wrong?"

As soon as the words were spoken, Zhu Zhuqing and Chen Xueru exchanged a knowing smile, a mischievous glint in their eyes; Qiao Jingjing and Wang Yuyan blinked, slightly puzzled.

Li Hanyi felt a flush on her ears again, a blush quickly passing through her face before she regained her composure, still maintaining that aloof and cold demeanor.

She didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point: "In order to maximize the efficacy of the immortal herbs and elixirs gathered from the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, my senior brother Baili Dongjun, junior brother Sikong Changfeng, and I have reached an agreement—"

"We have already invited Poison Bodhisattva Wenhujiu and Medicine King Xin Baicao to personally go to Snow Moon City to oversee the situation."

She paused, met everyone's gaze, and said calmly, "Pick a day and set off with me."

Lin Quan felt a slight tremor in his heart.

He originally thought he would only be able to invite one person at most, but unexpectedly Li Hanyi invited both the Poison King and the Medicine King to Snow Moon City!

These two individuals, one skilled in controlling all poisons with ease and the other with profound knowledge of all medicines, can be considered unparalleled in both medicine and poison.

With their joint efforts, the exotic flowers, herbs, and highly poisonous plants brought out from the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire will surely unleash unprecedented power!

Although it was somewhat unexpected, Lin Quan was not flustered at all.

He lowered his eyes and remained silent for a moment before slowly raising them, his voice steady and resolute:

"Then let's first gather a few ancient medicinal herbs and a few potent poisonous plants for them to practice on—to test their skills and also their character..."

"Once things settle down with Yu Yan, we'll set off together for Snow Moon City."

He paused slightly, his gaze softening as he looked at Li Hanyi, and asked gently, "Hanyi, what do you think?"

Li Hanyi met that gaze, her brows furrowing slightly, her fingertips unconsciously twirling the edge of her sleeve as she pondered silently for a moment.

There was no beating around the bush, no shirking responsibility, just a slight nod, a clean and swift response.

She believed in the methods of the Poison Bodhisattva and the Medicine King—those two had been immersed in the art of poison and medicine for decades and had already reached the pinnacle of their skills.

But those magical herbs, each one possesses a spirit, and their effects vary greatly!

Using the wrong plant is to waste an irreplaceable opportunity; for Lin Quan, it is a real loss.

Moreover, in her world, a thousand-year-old elixir was an extremely rare existence.

While century-old medicinal herbs can be found, millennium-old spiritual plants are already rare, requiring the sect's resources to barely gather them all.

And those over ten thousand years old? Those are supreme treasures that can trigger tribulations and alarm reclusive ancestors. As soon as they appear, they attract fierce competition from all sides, and bloodshed is inevitable.

If Lin Quan hadn't completely emptied the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, based solely on what they had previously obtained, in the ordinary world of immortals and heroes, they would at most be considered moderately wealthy and content.

Yet these few ancient medicinal herbs, some thousands of years old, fell into the hands of the Poison Bodhisattva and the Medicine King—

Let alone Lin Quan, who is currently only at the Innate Realm, even a powerful figure like Li Hanyi, who is at the Free and Unfettered Heaven Realm, would have his bones and muscles reshaped and his spiritual consciousness enhanced after consuming the herbal medicine. This is no exaggeration.

"In that case, I have no objection." She spoke calmly, paused, and then added, "I will take care of the follow-up matters."
