Before obtaining the space, although Zhao Xinyu intermittently cultivated the Hongmeng True Scripture, he did not fall ill, but his body was very weak.

After coming into contact with the Hongmeng True Scripture, his physical condition changed significantly. Now, he could even feel the powerful energy contained in his muscles, and the meridians in his body had become thicker than before. His skin was even faintly covered with a layer of crystalline luster.

Then, Zhao Xinyu had a sparring match with Heifeng. Although his agility was not as good as Heifeng's, the strength he exerted made Heifeng dare not easily touch him.

What surprised Zhao Xinyu even more was that in the past, he could not withstand even a slight collision with Heifeng. But during the sparring match, when Heifeng collided with him, he barely reacted, and sometimes he could even bounce Heifeng back.

He knew this was definitely due to the Five Gods Decision. Because of this, he immediately began to cultivate the Shadow Following Technique. As he cultivated the Shadow Following Technique, during sparring matches with Heifeng, Heifeng could only suffer. In the end, whenever Zhao Xinyu proposed a sparring match, Heifeng would immediately run into the forest to find the blue wolf pack.

Since Heifeng was unwilling to spar, Zhao Xinyu had to turn his attention to Jinhen and Jinyu. However, after some time, Jinhen and Jinyu also refused to spar with him.

At this point, Zhao Xinyu was filled with confidence. The reason he had not returned was to cultivate the Five Gods Decision and the Shadow Following Technique to their advanced stages in Cailiang Mountain.

During this period of focused cultivation, the blue wolf pack would occasionally appear, and each time they brought plenty of game.

When the blue wolf pack appeared again and saw him processing the game, they immediately understood that he was going to barbecue. They did not need to be told and directly went to hunt more game in the territory.

The blue wolf pack, consisting of nearly thirty wolves, required half a day just to process the game each time.

While barbecuing, on this high ground, all the blue wolves, except for Jinhen, Jinyu, and Heifeng, gathered. Large and small blue wolves lay behind Zhao Xinyu, their eyes fixed on the game he was turning in his hands.

Every time the aroma of meat spread, all the blue wolves drooled uncontrollably, but they never ran over to snatch the roasted meat from Zhao Xinyu.

After the barbecue was ready and placed on branches, the blue wolves still did not move, which made Zhao Xinyu feel quite moved. Many times, humans really could not compare to animals.

After finishing the barbecue and cleaning up, night had already fallen. Back in the simple hut, he glanced at the numbers he had written on the wall and sighed. It had been more than four months since he left, and according to the agreement with the construction company, the village project should be completed by now.

Moreover, in about twenty days, it would be the lunar New Year. Han Li and the others had been handling all the affairs, and it would be unreasonable for him not to return.

With the idea of returning home, Zhao Xinyu began to pack. During this time, he had dried a lot of black fungus and wild mushrooms in the space. Whenever he found wild mushrooms and black fungus in the mountains, he would directly store the decaying wood in the space.

Now, in his space, over ten acres were covered with wild mushrooms and black fungus, but he could not take them out directly, so he could only dry them.

The next morning, as they were about to leave, Heifeng howled to the sky. Soon, the blue wolf pack gathered on the high ground. The blue wolf king howled mournfully to Heifeng, seemingly unwilling to let him leave.

Heifeng approached the blue wolf king, rubbing his large body against her, which made Zhao Xinyu's heart stir.

This blue wolf pack was different from other wolf packs; the blue wolf king was a female, and Qingfeng was... Seeing the state of the blue wolf king and Heifeng, Zhao Xinyu realized that Heifeng and the blue wolf king were in love.

Watching the reluctant Heifeng and blue wolf king, Zhao Xinyu felt quite helpless. He did not know how to handle the situation.

Heifeng suddenly lowered his head and approached him, rubbing his large head against him and growling softly, his eyes full of expectation.

Zhao Xinyu's heart stirred, "Heifeng, are you saying you want me to take them back?"

Heifeng immediately nodded, which made Zhao Xinyu shake his head. The blue wolves were accustomed to living in the mountains. If he took them back, how would they live, and how would people view him? If the animal protection organization investigated, he would really have to spend a few years in jail.

"Heifeng, I can take them away, but they will have to stay in the space for now."

That night, Zhao Xinyu returned to the village but did not go directly to the courtyard. He just looked from the opposite side of the road. The once dilapidated area was now completely transformed. A tall wall along the edge of the ravine enclosed the entire area, and the earthen ravine had been reinforced with rocks. However, there was no trace of cement in the rock seams; the rocks were bonded using an ancient method with a mixture of glutinous rice and lime.

At the front was a wooden gate over five meters wide and eight meters high, studded with copper nails the size of wine glasses. The area outside the gate and the road was paved with rocks, forming a square of over a thousand square meters.

Around the square were stone benches for people to rest, and behind the benches were tree pits and circular flower beds that had not yet been planted.

A stone arch bridge connected the courtyard to the area surrounded by the Luo River. In the middle of the area, which was once overgrown with weeds, stood a quadrangle courtyard.

Seeing the vast area now under his name, Zhao Xinyu felt a surge of excitement. He had once struggled for a living every day and never dared to imagine he would have such a day.

As the first light of dawn appeared in the east, Zhao Xinyu hailed a taxi and went to a cargo station in the southern part of the city. He had to take out the dried black fungus and wild mushrooms from the space without arousing Han Li's suspicions.

He worked at the cargo station until nearly ten o'clock, then called Han Li. Before he could speak, Han Li complained for several minutes.

Telling Han Li to pick up the mountain goods he had brought from his hometown, he found a nearby barbershop. When he pushed the door open, his shabby clothes, long hair, and beard, along with the Heifeng who looked like a calf, almost got him mistaken for a homeless person and chased out.

Back at the courtyard, he pushed open the heavy gate, and a stone path over four meters wide led straight to the independent courtyard in the north. The path was clean, with no greenery on either side.

As Zhao Xinyu looked around the courtyard, Heifeng growled softly and ran into the yard, playing on the land where he had grown up.

Heifeng then ran to a spot and started digging, which made Zhao Xinyu's heart stir. He remembered what was buried there: the wine he had brewed.

He went over to check the area. The soil still had the remains of vegetable roots, which made him sigh in relief. He had forgotten about the wine when he left, and if the land had been plowed, he would have had no chance to cry.

"Xinyu, you're back," a voice came from behind him.

"Grandpa Han, I'm back."

"It's good to have you back. Why are you standing here? Go see your new house. You don't know how many people snuck in to take pictures of your courtyard those days."

As Zhao Xinyu stepped onto the stone arch bridge, he saw a platform of several dozen square meters at each end, with a stone staircase winding down.

Crossing the stone arch bridge, Zhao Xinyu saw that all the farmland had been plowed. Looking at the still earthy farmland, Zhao Xinyu suddenly thought of a question.

"Grandpa Han, why are there no irrigation channels?"

"Du Mengnan said that irrigation channels waste water. There are pipes laid underneath, and in the future, we'll use sprinklers, which is more convenient and saves labor."

"By the way, will vegetables be planted here next year?"

"Vegetables can be grown over there. I plan to plant fruit trees here," Zhao Xinyu thought of the Hami apricots and the new variety of black gem plums in the space and immediately said without hesitation.
