Siheyuan, my new life

Lin Yu returned home from the paradise. Today was his first night in his new home. He planned to sleep in the bedroom of his new home tonight. After all, this was a kind of ritual. Of course, according to the custom of the previous life, when moving into a new home, one had to cook, which was also called warming the pot. Generally, relatives and friends would gather together and everyone would drink and celebrate in the new house.

Lin Yu's mother and sister are far away in Tianjin, and most of his other friends are active-duty military officers, so it is impossible for them to come and join in the fun, so he plans to make a barbecue himself, which is better than nothing.

Looking at his watch, it was already half past eight in the evening. Lin Yu walked out of the main room carrying an official hat chair. The late autumn night in Beijing was already a little chilly, and the small courtyard was obviously exceptionally quiet under the hazy moonlight.

Lin Yu walked to the stone table under the grape trellis and gently brushed it with his right hand. The thin layer of dust on the stone table immediately disappeared, and three palm-sized storage bags appeared silently on the stone table.

Living in the capital city, sandstorms are an unavoidable problem. Strong winds carrying sand from the outside world often ravage this historic city. If the doors and windows of your home are not sealed well, a layer of dust will fall every day. Although setting up a simple defensive array can completely block the harassment of sandstorms, rain and snow, it will definitely arouse suspicion from outsiders over time.

Just imagine, after a snowstorm in the capital in the cold winter, the roofs and ground nearby are covered with a thick layer of snow, but the west wing is spotless. Any sane person would be puzzled, and it would not take long for all kinds of rumors to spread everywhere. Lin Yu did not want to cause trouble.

He took out a barbecue grill that was one and a half meters long and more than sixty centimeters high from the storage bag. This was a gadget that Lin Yu had come up with on a whim while practicing refining equipment. In his previous life, he liked to have a barbecue at home every now and then and drink a few bottles of beer with his wife. These were memories that were forever engraved in his mind.

Lin Yu shook his head slightly and took out a large pile of skewered meat from the storage bag. These were not ordinary chicken, duck, or fish meat, but the meat of various ferocious beasts living in this paradise.

In this paradise, there are endless mountains and ridges, where live thousands of ferocious beasts of all sizes.

These ferocious beasts were all ancient species that Master Qinglian had captured when he was bored, and they were all released into the mountains and forests.

Each of these ancient and exotic beasts possesses extraordinary strength, and to be more precise, they should be called monsters.

After countless years of reproduction and development, the monsters in the blessed land have formed a complete ecological chain. From the weak Qi Refining monsters to the great monsters in the Golden Immortal Realm, these monsters are trapped in their respective areas by the formation. Only the monster kings with strength exceeding the Golden Immortal Realm will be restricted in the sea of ​​consciousness by Master Qinglian and be taken in as mountain guardian monsters. Being able to become a mountain guardian monster can not only break free from the previous constraints, but also obtain the cultivation method bestowed by Master Qinglian.

You should know that these ancient beasts usually practice by following the methods of their own bloodline inheritance. The so-called bloodline inheritance is actually more about the experience of ancient beasts fighting and surviving, not a complete practice method in the true sense. With the various skills bestowed by Master Qinglian, these mountain-guarding beasts got rid of the dilemma of relying entirely on instinct to fight, and truly learned various spells and how to control magic weapons.

When Master Qinglian gave the blessed land to Lin Yu, he had already given him all the control methods of the restrictions, so that Lin Yu could completely control these mountain-guarding monsters. As for whether there would be monsters that would threaten Lin Yu's safety after being promoted to the Saint level, that was definitely impossible. You must know that Lin Yu was always guarded by the guardian puppets with cultivation above the Saint level. Once they detected the slightest abnormality of the monsters, these guardian puppets would kill them immediately.

Although he now has fasting pills to fill his stomach, and Zhou Hong and others will prepare various delicacies for him after his daily practice, Lin Yu still likes to cook a small barbecue by himself occasionally and drink a few glasses of good wine. It can be regarded as a kind of nostalgia for the previous life.

However, the various monsters that originally lived in the mountains suffered, especially the several monsters with delicious meat, which were often put on the barbecue grill by Lin Yu.

For the monsters living in the blessed land, this place is simply a paradise compared to where they lived before. Although there is still the law of the jungle among the same kind, there are no monks who hunt monsters to obtain cultivation resources. The fur, bones, flesh, monster cores and even blood of monsters are important materials needed by monks to refine weapons and pills, so many monks rely on hunting monsters to exchange for the resources they need for their own cultivation.

Lin Yu is not a murderous person at heart. In order to ensure the integrity of the survival chain of the numerous monsters in the paradise, he specially selected some of the monsters with delicious meat and set up a separate breeding area. In this way, even if he occasionally lets the puppets slaughter a few monsters as food to satisfy his own appetite, it will not affect the survival of the monster group.

Lin Yu placed some charcoal in the iron trough of the barbecue grill, then flicked his finger slightly, and an egg-sized fireball slowly fell on the charcoal, igniting the charcoal fire in a short while.

If other cultivators saw this scene, they would definitely scold Lin Yu for wasting resources. The star iron that could be used to refine magic weapons and flying swords was used to make a barbecue grill; the charcoal that had just been ignited was all made from high-grade spiritual materials, and the charcoal made from these spiritual materials was the fuel used by cultivators when refining weapons and pills.

After all the charcoal in the iron trough was ignited, Lin Yu took a handful of skewers of meat and placed them evenly above the flame. As the flame roasted, an enticing aroma of meat spread.

After turning it over twice, the meat skewers were about 70% cooked. Lin Yu grabbed a handful of barbecue seasoning he had prepared and sprinkled it on the meat skewers. The air was immediately filled with fragrance.

Picking up a bunch of delicious and juicy monster meat and chewing it in big mouthfuls, Lin Yu took another sip of the spirit wine, and streams of heat flowed from his stomach to every part of his body.

As Lin Yu's cultivation level improves, in addition to continuing to use spirit stones for cultivation, he also often takes some elixirs to assist in cultivation. Eating monster meat that contains spiritual power can not only satisfy his appetite, but also absorb the spiritual power in the monster meat to improve his own cultivation level.

As for the spiritual wine, it is brewed with spiritual fruits, spiritual spring water and many precious spiritual herbs. After drinking it, monks can not only satisfy their craving for alcohol, but also assist in their cultivation.

The spiritual wine that Lin Yu drinks now is all the stock brewed by Master Qinglian himself. The master's original body is the first Chaos Qinglian born when Chaos first began. It belongs to the wood attribute among the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth. Therefore, he is extremely good at cultivating various spiritual plants, brewing spiritual wine and refining elixirs, and can even be said to be the best among his peers.

During the long years, Master Qinglian spent a considerable amount of time cultivating spiritual plants, brewing spiritual wine, and refining elixirs besides practicing. Taking brewing spiritual wine as an example, Master Qinglian made full use of the characteristics of various spiritual fruits and spiritual herbs, and finally determined the formula after many experiments.

Due to the different qualities of the spiritual fruits, spiritual herbs and spiritual spring water used, the effects of the spiritual wine brewed are also vastly different.

From the Biluomeng that is the lowest level drinkable by Jindan-stage cultivators to the Wanguchou that is drinkable by Saint-level cultivators, the spiritual power contained in each type of spiritual wine varies greatly. Once a low-level cultivator drinks a high-level spiritual wine, there is only one outcome, which is that he will not be able to withstand the impact of the massive amount of spiritual power and will explode and die.

In the past few years, Lin Yu has also asked the puppets to continue brewing spiritual wine according to the recipe left by Master Qinglian. After all, there are a large number of various spiritual fruits and herbs planted in the blessed land, and spiritual fruits and herbs mature almost every day.

The best quality spiritual fruits and herbs will be collected by the puppets and properly preserved, those of average quality will be used to brew spiritual wine, and as for the incomplete spiritual fruits and herbs, they will be used as food for captive monsters.
