Tian Yuan War Chronicles: The Path of Artifacts to Ascension – Chapter 14

Ch 14: Staying in the Small Courtyard

“Let’s go”, half an hour later, He Jin walked out of the small building, leading the two towards the Immortal Mountain behind the small building.

Only after arriving behind the small building did the two realize that there were several stone slab roads leading to different directions of the Immortal Mountain.

He Jin led the two onto a stone slab road and walked towards the mountain. As the old saying goes, “Looking at a mountain makes a horse run to death.” The three of them walked for more than an hour before arriving in front of a newly built small courtyard.

The small courtyard was built in a mountain depression and was a three-courtyard residence. Although it could not compare with the royal mansion, it was quite good for cultivators.

“Here, these are the keys!”, He Jin handed two bunches of keys to the two, and they each took one.

“Master said that Lin Yu lives in the side room next to the main room, and Hua Kong lives in the gatehouse next to the gate, as the doorkeeper. For the time being, there are only the two of you. Cultivation is different from other things, it is impossible to have fine clothes, jade food, and a large group of servants.”

“Go to the small building where you came from to get the food and sundries you need on weekdays. I have already led you through the road. You need Junior Sister’s token to get the supplies.

You two will do some sweeping and cleaning work in the small courtyard. You are not allowed to walk around on weekdays, do not enter the territory of other disciples’ cave dwellings, and do not leave the scope of Master’s cave dwelling Immortal Mountain.

You must listen to Junior Sister’s arrangements in everything!”, He Jin instructed.

“The Tian Yuan Sect is located in the Tian Yuan Realm, which is a small world in the Great Thousand World. This place is different from the mortal world where you are.

The Spiritual Energy in this realm is abundant. Mortals living here will live to be a hundred years old without major illnesses and disasters.

If you can enter the path of cultivation, it is not impossible to ascend to immortality. I see that you are not mortals without Spiritual Energy at all. It is your creation that Master brought you to this realm! You should cherish it!”, He Jin said again.

“Okay!”, the two replied.

“I’m leaving!”, He Jin finished speaking, then took out his Flying Sword, rode the sword and left, his figure disappearing into the air.

“Let’s go!”, Lin Yu opened the copper lock on the gate and pushed it open.

“I’ve been wanting to ask something! But I was too embarrassed to ask.”, Hua Kong said hesitantly.

“Huh?”, Lin Yu asked in confusion.

“What is a gatehouse?”, Hua Kong asked.

“Gatehouse? Haha! Follow me!”, Lin Yu stepped into the gate.

“Okay!”, Hua Kong quickly followed.

“This is it! Gatehouse! Gatehouse! It’s upside down! Do you see if the doors of this row of houses are opposite to the doors of the main house?”, Lin Yu turned into a screen door and pointed to a row of rooms next to the door and said.

“Ah! So that’s how it is! I’m ignorant! Haha~”, Hua Kong scratched his head embarrassedly.

“Pick a room and live in it! I’ll go inside and take a look!”, Lin Yu said as he walked towards the second gate.

“Okay”, Hua Kong didn’t say much. He was quite fresh to this place, so he used the keys in his hand to open these rooms and check them one by one.

The innermost room was quite large, and some desks and shelves were placed like an office, but there were only three people living here, so where would anyone need to work here?

The outermost room was a toilet, three of the other ten rooms were empty, and the other seven rooms had beds and some simple daily necessities, presumably where servants like him lived.

It’s just that the person who built the house considered it thoroughly, but he didn’t know that only three people lived in this house, and it would take a lot of effort to clean these empty rooms in the future.

Hua Kong was an honest child. Since he was asked to be a doorkeeper, Hua Kong honestly chose a room close to the gate, put away some daily necessities he brought from Great Zhou, and began to meditate and cultivate.

The Spiritual Energy here is so rich, it would be a waste of nature not to cultivate!

“Hua Kong! It’s time for lunch!”, Lin Yu’s call rang out outside the room.

“Okay, I’m coming!”, Hua Kong entered the second gate and walked to the side room where Lin Yu lived. Some meat and dishes had already been placed on the small table in the room.

“Try it! I don’t know what kind of meat this is! It’s very fresh and tender!”, Lin Yu brought chopsticks.

“Where did the meat come from?”, Hua Kong asked in confusion.

“There is an ice cellar in the kitchen, and there is a lot of frozen meat inside”, Lin Yu replied while eating.

“So that’s how it is! Are there vegetables too?”, Hua Kong exclaimed.

“Yes! Not only are there some vegetables stored in the ice cellar, but there is also a large vegetable garden and orchard behind the house. The melons, fruits and vegetables inside are very fresh and taste very fragrant.”, Lin Yu, a prince, was eating with a greasy mouth at this time.

“Really good!”, Hua Kong tasted it, and it was really very good. Although it is a Mortal item, because the Spiritual Energy here is abundant, the Spiritual Energy of the Mortal things is also particularly sufficient, and the taste is incomparable to that of Great Zhou.

While Hua Kong and the two were eating with greasy mouths, Lin Lan and Lin Lian were also eating. They maintained the demeanor of royal children. The two sat on a small table each, with some dishes and Wine on the table.

“Don’t talk while eating, don’t talk while sleeping” is the minimum requirement for royal women. The two finished lunch quite elegantly. Two Maids walked in from outside the door, removed the tableware from the small table, and brought Fragrant Tea.

“Now you are an Inner Sect Disciple of the Tian Yuan Sect. This status is very rare. It is a reward for our Great Zhou ancestors’ battles in the Tian Yuan Realm. You must cherish it!”, Old Ancestor Lin Lian said.

“Understood, Old Ancestor!”, Lin Lan replied obediently.

“You are still young! You don’t know the cruelty of cultivation! You don’t need to know now! Now this is the task of your Ancestor Xingzhou and me!

Ancestor Xingzhou is a Great Power in the Mid-Stage Golden Core, and I am a Great Cultivator in the Late Stage Foundation Establishment. This is the foundation for you to gain a foothold in this Tian Yuan Sect and Tian Yuan Realm.

There are also several juniors in the family who are Mid-Cultivation and Small-Cultivation. You can also get to know them if you have the opportunity.

But you must also know that since Old Ancestor Mu Yan failed to attack the Nascent Soul Stage and passed away, our plan to attack the upper echelons of the Tian Yuan Sect has temporarily failed.

Our influence in the middle level of the Tian Yuan Sect has also been weakened, otherwise your Second Elder Brother would also be an Inner Sect Disciple of the Tian Yuan Sect.

As for that Kong kid, it doesn’t matter if he is an Outer Sect Disciple. Therefore, in the Tian Yuan Sect and even the Tian Yuan Realm, you are not helpless, but don’t do anything that is invisible and shapeless to cause trouble!

“, Old Ancestor Lin Lian said.

“I respectfully obey Old Ancestor’s decree!”, Lin Lan replied.

“Can you use that Storage Bracelet? You can buy some supplies back before returning to your small courtyard!”, Old Ancestor Lin Lian asked with concern again.

“I can use it! I’ll go buy it later!”, Lin Lan replied.

“You are only at the Second Level of Qi Refining now, you should spend more time cultivating. You have a very good talent, even the best in our Great Zhou Royal Family! You have some responsibilities to bear!”, Old Ancestor Lin Lian encouraged.

“Understood! Old Ancestor!”, Lin Lan frowned, but still replied.

“Old Ancestor knows that you are still young! But which of the royal children does not have a heavy burden? Look at your Second Elder Brother, as a prince, he is willing to give up the opportunity to compete for the throne and come to serve you!

Do you think he has no pride in his heart? Is there no arrogance in his body? It’s just that if he doesn’t get the support of me and others, he will be in danger even if he sits in that position!

Therefore, he saw the key to the problem. He gave up the three thousand regular iron cavalry and nine thousand auxiliary cavalry of the Ningyuan Army as soon as he said so. Your Old Man and Elder Brother in the same position can’t do it either.

That’s why I’m willing to bring him to this realm! Looking at the blacksmith kid again, he is just a villager, without anyone to support him or help him. He can also enter the First Level of Qi Refining in the Duyang Mortal Realm, although he got the help of my sect’s Qi Refining Art.

But where do so many coincidences come from in the dark? The Old Beggar picked up your Sachet for more than a year, but traveled thousands of miles to fall into the hands of a villager kid. Even I have to worry about God’s will.

People with great luck must have strange deeds and adventures. If you bring the two of them by your side, plus the help of Ancestor Xingzhou and me, you will definitely go further!

But don’t worry, I won’t do such vicious and harmful things as plundering other people’s luck, and one of them is your Second Elder Brother. We only need to go with the flow and take what we need.

“, Old Ancestor Lin Lian comforted.

“Yes! Xiao Lan knows!”, Lin Lan breathed a sigh of relief, she didn’t need to bear these things alone.

“If you miss home, wait a few years! After you go through the first small cultivation competition and experience! I will take you back to Great Zhou to have a look!”, Lin Lian drew a pie.

“Oh~~”, Lin Lan’s mood dropped a lot when she said this.

“Go buy some supplies, you still have to eat before Bigu, I will send you back after you finish buying”, Lin Lian waved her hand and ordered.

“Okay, Old Ancestor”, Lin Lan got up and left the room to buy supplies in the room where the sect disciples were stationed downstairs.

“Hey~! This girl! Her temperament is a little poor! Let’s take it slowly!”, Seeing Lin Lan walk out of the room, Lin Lian took two sips of tea and sighed.

After Lin Lan finished buying, Old Ancestor Lin Lian took out the Black Ship, sent her to the front of the small courtyard, and comforted and encouraged her before getting on the ship and returning to her cave dwelling.

“Second Elder Brother, where is the wild kid? I’m hungry!”, Just after returning to the small courtyard, Lin Lan screamed.

The two who were cleaning the house rushed out quickly.

“Lan Mei!”

“Princess!”

“I’m hungry! Cook for me!”, Lin Lan shouted.

“Okay! Okay! Okay!”, the two agreed quickly.

“Also! Move these things into the house!”, Lin Lan waved her right hand, and a large pile of supplies appeared in front of the courtyard gate, and she went into the main room.

“This…”, the two were shocked, but knowing that this was a Magical Artifact for storing supplies, the two didn’t say much. Lin Yu went to the kitchen to cook, while Hua Kong put the supplies into different rooms according to their categories.

After the two finished their respective tasks, they continued to clean the house. This three-courtyard house could not be cleaned up in a short time.

In the days to come, the division of labor between the two was determined in this way. Lin Yu was mainly responsible for the inner courtyard and cooking, while Hua Kong was responsible for the outer courtyard, purchasing, and planting vegetables. Usually, the cleaning of the house was done together by the two.

In the evening, after finishing work, everyone would return to their rooms to cultivate.

In this way, this group of three people settled down in the Tian Yuan Sect.
