Thinking back to when his grandfather mysteriously handed him these prescriptions, saying they were ancient family remedies, Zhao Xinyu couldn't help but shake his head. He placed the *Jin Kui Jing Yao* on the wine jar and then looked at the wooden box.

It was also an old, blackened book, with four ancient seal script characters: *Hong Meng Zhen Jing*. Seeing these four characters, Zhao Xinyu's brows furrowed slightly. He took it out and flipped through it a few times. The content was mainly about cultivation techniques and methods of channeling energy, but he felt it seemed somewhat familiar.

Putting down the *Hong Meng Zhen Jing*, his eyes suddenly narrowed as he saw a half-broken jade pendant on an envelope. The jade pendant was entirely green, with a pattern of a cloud just beginning to form on it.

This... Zhao Xinyu instinctively looked down at his chest. He felt that this half-broken jade pendant was extremely similar to the mark on his chest.

Trembling, he picked up the mostly broken jade pendant and instantly felt a sense of blood connection. This made his heart leap with joy.

He placed the jade pendant aside, suppressing his excitement, and picked up the envelope in the box. When he opened it, he saw familiar handwriting, and tears streamed down his face again.

The letter roughly said that the broken jade pendant was with him when he was found, and all the medicinal wines were left for him over the years. There was also a hidden compartment under the wine jar, which contained the things his grandfather truly left for him.

With tears streaming down his face, he put the medicinal wines into his spatial storage, a total of sixty-two jars. Thinking about how these wines were all brewed by his grandfather, and the herbs were collected from the mountains, Zhao Xinyu felt a deep pain in his heart. His grandfather loved drinking, but he had saved so much for him over the years, and even kept it a secret from Zhao Xin Xing, which required a great deal of effort.

Thinking of Zhao Xin Xing, Zhao Xinyu's eyes turned cold, but he remembered his grandfather's final instructions and buried that hatred deep in his heart.

Using a spade to clear the dirt on the ground, Zhao Xinyu saw a stone seam with holes. He reached in and tried to lift it several times, but there was no response.

Frowning, Zhao Xinyu brought a stone and used the lever principle to finally remove the heavy stone lid, which weighed about a hundred pounds. Inside the hidden compartment, he saw another old box.

Taking out the box, he opened it, and a familiar spatial aura spread out. Inside the box, which was about three feet square, were ancient books emitting the same spatial aura.

Picking up the top book and glancing at it, a hint of confusion appeared in his eyes. He recognized the characters, but the content seemed to be about ancient martial cultivation techniques, mentioning acupoints and meridians.

Not understanding it, he directly put the wooden box into his spatial storage. Then he looked outside, moved the scattered stones back to cover the entrance, and entered the spatial world.

Looking at the broken jade pendant in his hand, Zhao Xinyu tried many times, but the pendant showed no reaction. Thinking about how he obtained the spatial world after an accident and the news that the people who attacked him were antique dealers, he had an idea. He bit his finger and dripped blood onto the jade pendant.

The next moment, the entire spatial world began to tremble, and its size increased visibly. The vegetables, crops, vinegar willows, grapes, and herbs in the spatial world started to grow rapidly, and the area expanded as the spatial world grew larger.

The large puddle in the center of the spatial world rapidly expanded, and the white stone that resembled a rock garden in the middle grew wildly.

When the spatial world stopped trembling, a massive peak, several hundred meters high, appeared in the center. The peak was entirely white and crystal clear, as if carved from jade.

The large puddle, which could no longer be called a puddle, had turned into a lake of at least ten acres. The lake water was clear to the bottom, and schools of fish appeared, with the initial carp growing to over three meters long.

The area of the spatial world had expanded to over a hundred acres, making it as vast as a large farm. The clouds in the sky of the spatial world seemed to disperse, and the stars, which were previously faint, became clearer. A green star appeared, surrounded by green mist that continuously swirled, just like the clouds outside.

The tomatoes in the spatial world grew taller and thicker, and from a distance, the tomato fields were a sea of red. The cucumbers, eggplants, and other vegetables had also changed significantly. Any plant taken out of the spatial world would cause a sensation.

The grapes planted in the spatial world during the New Year had already formed a forest. From a distance, all that could be seen were purple grapes, with very few green leaves. The grapes had become the dominant color, while the leaves were just a complementary color. Zhao Xinyu estimated that the area of the grape forest was at least seven or eight acres. Dandelions and bitter herbs were also widespread, even in the vegetable fields.

If there was one thing that had changed the most in the spatial world, it was the herbs. The older the herbs grew, the more valuable they became. Now, many of the herbs in the spatial world were at least a hundred years old and grew in large patches, just like the vegetables and fruits.

Seeing the changes in the spatial world, the sadness in Zhao Xinyu's heart slowly disappeared, replaced by excitement and joy. He unbuttoned his shirt and was slightly surprised to see that the mark on his chest was still incomplete. This made him frown, and he wondered what would happen if the mark were to be restored.

Just as Zhao Xinyu was feeling excited, a bird's chirping came from the grape forest. His heart stirred, and his eyes showed surprise. He quickly walked to the grape forest and was taken aback.

Under the grapes were two large birds, about fifty to sixty centimeters in size, with full wings. Unlike the dead birds he had seen in the mountains, these two birds had very few brown feathers on their heads and bodies, and their spines and tail feathers were light golden.

After examining them for a moment, Zhao Xinyu's eyes were full of confusion, but he knew that these two large birds were the offspring of the dead birds he had seen.

Just as Zhao Xinyu was lost in thought, the two strange birds noticed him. They spread their wings and ran towards him. As they got closer, Zhao Xinyu could feel the strength of their wings.

Zhao Xinyu wanted to dodge, not wanting the large beaks, which were like iron hooks, to leave any marks on him.

However, when the two birds reached him, they folded their wings and chirped softly at him. They then spread their wings again and gently tapped Zhao Xinyu's legs a few times.

Zhao Xinyu breathed a sigh of relief, feeling the goodwill from the two large birds. He instinctively reached out to pet them, and to his surprise, they didn't dodge and seemed to enjoy it.

Petting the two large birds, Zhao Xinyu thought of Hei Feng. He patted them and said with a smile, "When we go back, I'll introduce you to a friend named Hei Feng. You should also have names."

He looked at one of them and noticed a scar on its exposed leg, which was the one that had broken its leg that morning.

"Your feathers are golden, so I'll call you Jin Heng, and you'll be Jin Yu."

To Zhao Xinyu's surprise, the two birds seemed to understand him. They spread their wings again and gently tapped him a few times.

He petted the two birds again, and then he had an idea. He casually picked a bunch of grapes, each about the size of a pigeon's egg, and said with a smile, "Let's go catch some fish."

After taking a few steps, Zhao Xinyu paused and turned to look at the grape forest, his eyes full of surprise. Although the grapes had long been ripe, he had never tasted them until now.

The grapes were sweet with a hint of sourness, and eating them felt incredibly comfortable. What surprised him the most was that the grapes, including the skin, melted in his mouth, and there were no seeds inside.
