Fu Hua parked the car aside, tidied his clothes solemnly, then took out a few exquisite gift boxes from the car and held them in his hands.

Standing at the gate, before Fu Hua reached out to knock on the door, the door of the courtyard opened automatically and silently.

"Come in!"

Shen Yuan's voice slowly came out from the courtyard.

Fu Hua was stunned for a moment, then walked into the courtyard.

Xue Mingzhi followed behind Fu Hua, curled his lips in disdain, and whispered: "Pretending to be a god"

Before he finished speaking, Xue Mingzhi, who had just stepped into the courtyard, was suddenly shocked.

He could clearly feel that the distance was only the distance of a door, but it seemed like a world of difference. The rich spiritual energy almost suffocated him.

All the pores on his body opened, and the extremely pure spiritual energy continued to penetrate into his body, making him feel unprecedented comfort.

"This concentration of spiritual energy!!!"

Xue Mingzhi widened his eyes in disbelief.

He comes from a noble family in the imperial capital and has seen real big scenes.

He had personally experienced the spiritual land built by the Duke and Marquis' Mansion on the high-level spiritual vein, the secret rooms for cultivation rented out by the sect, and even the cultivation field inside the Imperial Observatory.

But no matter which one it is, it is far from comparable to this seemingly inconspicuous courtyard.

It is no exaggeration to say that the spiritual places he had experienced were not even qualified to compare with this courtyard in terms of spiritual energy concentration.

Thinking of this, Xue Mingzhi felt unbelievable.

He had done some special research before coming here and found out that there wasn't even a decent spiritual vein in the old city of Wencheng, making it not a suitable place for cultivation at all. Even the Imperial Observatory didn't have a branch in the old city of Wencheng.

The birth of such a concentration of spiritual veins under such circumstances was completely beyond Xue Mingzhi's understanding.

“Is this an undiscovered treasure land?”

"Mingzhi, why are you standing there and not moving?"

As an ordinary person, Fu Hua just felt comfortable after stepping into the courtyard. He did not notice the change in the concentration of spiritual energy, so he was quite surprised to see Xue Mingzhi standing still.

But then, a look of sudden realization immediately appeared on Fu Hua's face.

“By the way, you lived here for a while when you were a child, so you must be familiar with this place!

But this courtyard has been given to Mr. Shen by my father. If you are interested, I can arrange for someone to build another one for you in this style."

Fu Hua’s words shocked Xue Mingzhi again.

"Uncle, are you saying this is the old house where grandpa used to live?"

“It’s that old house.”

Xue Mingzhi's expression was completely dazed.

Since this is the old house of the Fu family, it is definitely not an undiscovered treasure. No matter how generous Mr. Fu is, he would never give such a place away.

This means that this precious land before us was artificially transformed.

"In a place where the spiritual veins have disappeared, how is it possible to transform such a spiritual land?"

Even though the facts were right in front of him, Xue Mingzhi still found it hard to accept.

Fu Hua couldn't see through Xue Mingzhi's thoughts, so he just urged him:

"Let's go quickly, Mr. Shen is still waiting for us."

As he spoke, Fu Hua stepped onto the gravel path with the gift box in his hand.

But after just a few steps, Fu Hua and Xue Mingzhi both felt something was wrong.

They all lived in this courtyard before, especially Fu Hua, who grew up here and knew every change in the courtyard.

But this gravel road that he was so familiar with seemed extremely long at this moment, as if it had been extended several times.

Looking around the space, it seems that the original courtyard is no longer as narrow and cramped as before, and the space has become extremely open.

"This is."

Even Fu Hua, an ordinary person, realized that something was wrong, not to mention Xue Mingzhi who had been observing secretly.

"Is this the cave space opened up by the great monk?"

“No! The Ninghai mansion has a cave space, but the structure of that space is clearly unstable, and changes in the space level can be sensed when entering the space.

However, this courtyard does not show any signs of spatial instability. Everything seems to be the same as the outside world. The only difference is the change in the size of the internal space. "

"Could it be that this is a secret place?"

Even more shocking thoughts emerged in Xue Mingzhi's mind.

If the creation of that spiritual land could perhaps be explained by some special treasures, then what an extraordinary method it was to transform an ordinary courtyard into a secret place within a few months?

As soon as this thought flashed through Xue Mingzhi's mind, he heard Fu Hua mumbling to himself.

"I came here two weeks ago, and I didn't notice much change. How come it's suddenly different from before?"

“Two weeks!!”

Xue Mingzhi was horrified.

If what Fu Hua said was correct, it only took two weeks to transform this secret realm, then the powerful means used to create this secret realm must have risen to several levels.

“How could such a being descend upon the world at the beginning of the spiritual energy tide?

Isn't he afraid that the incomplete Great Dao of Heaven and Earth will affect his path?"

While Xue Mingzhi was thinking, the two of them had already walked across the gravel path and arrived in front of several houses in the courtyard.

The decoration of the house looks quite old-fashioned and inconspicuous. In the courtyard in front of it there is a lush jujube tree.

A tiger-like cat was resting under a tree. Beside it was a stone chessboard with a black piece placed on it. On the other side of the courtyard was a small pond. Shen Yuan stood in front of the pond, seemingly observing the fish swimming in it. At his feet, a cute little black cat was holding a dried fish in its paws and biting it.

"Meet Mr. Shen!"

Fu Hua bowed respectfully.

Shen Yuan withdrew his gaze from the swimming fish and nodded towards Fu Hua.

“Here I come.”

Fu Hua smiled and tried to get closer to him.

"I visited him several times in the past three days, but found that he was not at home."

"I just went to visit a friend and it took me some time." Shen Yuan responded casually.

Fu Hua still had a smile on his face: "I understand, I understand."

Then he reached out and pulled Xue Mingzhi who was following behind him, and said solemnly:

"Come and meet Mr. Shen quickly."

Xue Mingzhi had a dazed expression, and he did not come to his senses immediately even when Fu Hua reached out to pull him.

With the concentration of spiritual energy and the secret space in the courtyard, Xue Mingzhi thought he was well prepared.

But when he actually stepped into the small courtyard in front of him, Xue Mingzhi realized how extraordinary this place was.

The fierce cat demon lying under the tree is not only a Qi Transformation Realm demon, but also has a faint aura of a tiger from the tiger clan flowing on its body, which means that this cat demon is very likely to have inherited the orthodox tiger heritage of the tiger clan.

The tiger king is a god who rules over the mountains. The pillar of inheritance of the tiger tribe has actually fallen into the hands of a cat, which is kept in this courtyard. If this gets out, the old men in the tiger tribe will probably go crazy.

That seemingly inconspicuous small pond is extremely precious. The spiritual energy in the entire courtyard all comes from the pond, and the flowing liquid seems to condense into substantial spiritual energy.

This reminded Xue Mingzhi of the natural spiritual pool that was regarded as a treasure by the Dragon King of the water tribe and was sufficient to nourish the spiritual veins of an area of ​​water.

And the dazzling golden light that faintly flashed in the pond was definitely not an ordinary thing. Xue Mingzhi even sensed some real dragon breath from it.

The reason why Xue Mingzhi was so sure of the true dragon's breath was because he had participated in a banquet hosted by the prince and met a true dragon descendant from the Yellow River Dragon Palace at the banquet.

The son of the true dragon was treated as an honored guest by the crown prince, and the direct descendants of various dukes and marquis families tried to make friends with him, and he was almost the center of the entire banquet.

Xue Mingzhi was just barely qualified to attend the banquet, not even qualified to walk in front of the true dragon's son.

The entire banquet left such a deep impression on him that Xue Mingzhi could hardly forget the aura of the true dragon's son.

And at this moment, the aura of a true dragon emanating from the golden shadow in the pond is even purer and nobler than that of the son of a true dragon.

“Although that person is not a true dragon, his bloodline is definitely the purest among the descendants of true dragons.

The golden shadow in the pond is taller than him, isn't it?"

"A real dragon?"

“No, no, no, even now there are only a few real dragons in the Four Rivers Dragon Palace. How could there be real dragons left in the world and being fed casually in ponds by humans?

With the pride of a true dragon, it would definitely not accept living in such a small pond.

This must be a pure-blooded dragon!"

Xue Mingzhi tried hard to suppress the frightening thought.

But even if it was a pure-blooded dragon, Shen Yuan was able to raise it casually in the pond, which was enough to prove Shen Yuan's own extraordinaryness.

"Greetings, Mr. Shen!"

Xue Mingzhi nervously saluted the elegant young man in white in front of him.

In Xue Mingzhi's eyes, Shen Yuan's every move seemed to be full of profound meanings, and he completely abandoned his previous narrow prejudices.

If anyone now said that Shen Yuan was a liar, Xue Mingzhi would definitely be the first to stand up and refute.

After Xue Mingzhi spoke, Fu Hua took the initiative to introduce himself with a smile on his face:

"He is my nephew. I brought him to see Mr. Shen this time so that he can get some exposure and stop being so arrogant all day long."

Shen Yuan saw through Xue Mingzhi's realm at a glance and realized that he had reached the late stage of refining essence. In this early stage of spiritual energy tide, he could be called a genius.

After a moment of thought, Shen Yuan raised his right hand slightly, and a drop of spiritual liquid rose from the natural spiritual pool and slowly fell in the direction of Xue Mingzhi.

"I didn't prepare any gifts for you when I came here for the first time. Please accept this drop of spiritual liquid. It is enough to help you complete the refining of essence into qi."

Fu Hua's face suddenly showed joy, and he slapped Xue Mingzhi on the head: "Hurry up and thank Mr. Shen!"

Xue Mingzhi widened his eyes. Shen Yuan's seemingly careless action did not contain any fluctuation of magical power. It was already a realm that he could not understand.

And the drop of spiritual liquid suspended in front of him, like real spiritual energy, proved that what Shen Yuan said was true.

This drop of extremely pure spiritual liquid could not only help him achieve a breakthrough, but there would even be some left over.

More importantly, with the help of this pure spiritual energy to complete the refining of essence into qi, not only will the quality of magic power far exceed that of the same level, it will also be of great benefit to future practice.

If placed in the imperial capital, it would definitely be a priceless treasure.

Infinite ecstasy suddenly surged in his heart, and Xue Mingzhi finally understood that the entire Fu family would go to such great lengths to curry favor with Shen Yuan in front of him.

Just the things given casually upon their first meeting were enough to attract countless practitioners.

"Thank you, Mr. Shen!"
