After pondering for a moment, Lin Xuankong's figure flashed, and he exited the Secret Realm.

Standing in the courtyard of the Lin Residence, Lin Xuankong gazed at the pond, the rockery, and the residence with its blue bricks and green tiles, feeling a sudden wave of emotion.

Since his transmigration, he had been living in this Lin Residence with Lii Xiaolan. Although the residence had long since changed its appearance, they had lived in the larger house for more than three years. Every blade of grass, every tree, every flower, and every stone within had been personally designed by Young Lady Li Xiaolan, and he was intimately familiar with them all.

He was leaving Great Marsh Prefecture for the Central Divine Dynasty, and the Spirit Vein Transference would undoubtedly open on the Central Divine Dynasty's side. Who knew when he would return here?

Walking along the backyard corridor for a while, he ran his hand along the redwood railing, feeling the fine texture of the wood beneath his fingers. His slightly furrowed brow gradually relaxed.

In this Lin Residence, what he cared about most was, of course, Young Lady Li Xiaolan. Now that she was no longer here, there was no need to cling to everything. As long as he was with his beloved woman, anywhere could be home!

After a moment, his expression having returned to its usual calm, Lin Xuankong walked into the front courtyard.

The cook, Shi Xiaochun, who was in the front courtyard directing numerous servants in their tasks, saw Lin Xuankong approach. She immediately led the servants in a respectful bow, addressing him as "Master."

Lin Xuankong walked over, helped Shi Xiaochun up, and took out three Dharma-tier Gui Ling Elixirs from his robes, placing them in her hand.

"Sister Little Chun, you took great care of Lan when she was young. Among all the servants in this Lin Residence, Lan misses you the most.

"She has been away from here for almost a year now, and I too must leave. From this day forward, the Lin Residence will be in your care.

"Before Lan left, she passed on some Martial Dao techniques to you. I've observed your progress over the past year, and it has been quite good. This Elixir can provide you with nearly a year's worth of Qi Blood replenishment and can even increase your Lifespan.

"As long as you cultivate diligently and take one Elixir each year, becoming a Fourth or Fifth Layer Cultivator should not be a problem!"

With a look of reluctance, Shi Xiaochun accepted the Elixirs. "Master, please rest assured, Little Chun will certainly take good care of the Lin Residence. But... but when will Lady Lan return?"

Lin Xuankong gazed towards the Central Divine Dynasty and smiled. "Great Marsh Prefecture is Lan's hometown. She will certainly return for a visit one day!"

"In the future, if you encounter any problems managing the Lin Residence that the Huang Family cannot help you with, you can seek assistance from the Zhao Family, the Feng Family, the Guo Family, or the Yin Talisman Sect. Even though I will be gone, those friends should still honor the bond we share!"

With that said, he turned and walked towards the backyard.

Shi Xiaochun carefully put away the three Elixirs and whispered, "Master, lunch is ready. Won't you eat before you leave?"

Lin Xuankong waved his hand dismissively. "There are still many matters to attend to before I leave Great Marsh Prefecture!"

Upon entering the backyard, he retrieved the little bear that had been guarding the area. Then, his gaze suddenly fell upon the Old Willow Tree.

This Old Willow Tree had been specially transplanted from the front courtyard by Lii Xiaolan. Originally, when Lin Xuankong had just transmigrated, this Old Willow Tree was nearly dead, much like Lin Xuankong himself at that time. For some reason, however, it later sprouted new branches and gradually regained its vitality, becoming lush and verdant, mirroring Lin Xuankong's own subsequent experiences.

[Thunder-Attracting Willow: Lifespan of three hundred twelve years and two hundred sixty days.

Mortal Grade, unranked.

Spiritual Radiance Talent, Upper Grade.]

When his Eighth Celestial Eye focused on the Old Willow Tree, this information appeared. Lin Xuankong couldn't help but smile as he walked over.

He touched the puncture marks on the Old Willow Tree's trunk, marks he had once made with the Spiritual Crane Finger of his Pine Crane Longevity Technique, and whispered,

Spiritual Radiance Talent is the talent of thunder. I possess this Spiritual Radiance Talent, which is why I was able to cultivate the Yin Talisman Thunder Skill and nurture twenty-four Divine Thunder Roots! I never expected this Old Willow Tree to possess Spiritual Radiance Talent as well... You old thing, your fate and talent are so similar to mine. What a coincidence!

From his Ghost Frog Pouch, he took out three hundred Evil Lizard Essence Blood Pearls, which could be used to cultivate Spiritual Beasts, and buried them near the roots of the Old Willow Tree.

Back then, Lan had searched high and low for Spiritual Beast Variants with unique talents for me, wearing out iron shoes to no avail. Yet, as fate would have it, the prize was found effortlessly, right here in my own courtyard all along—an Upper Grade, superior variant at that! Given my current strength, I no longer need to cultivate a new Spiritual Beast Variant to fight alongside me. Consider this your opportunity, old friend!

After doing so, he dusted the soil from his hands, placed a Ghost Frog Pouch filled with Demon Flesh beneath the tree, and looked up at the Old Willow Tree.

Just then, a breeze rustled through the thousands of branches of the Old Willow Tree, causing them to sway gently as if in greeting.

A smile touched Lin Xuankong's lips. He turned towards the front courtyard, his gaze falling on Shi Xiaochun, and transmitted his voice:

"Beneath the Old Willow Tree in the backyard, I've placed a Ghost Frog Pouch containing some Demon Flesh.

"Additionally, I've scattered three hundred Evil Lizard Essence Blood Pearls around its roots. It shouldn't take long for it to gain some level of sentience!

"Sister Little Chun, when you have time aside from your Cultivation, please look after it a little. Once it matures, it should prove to be a capable helper!"

In the front courtyard, Shi Xiaochun nodded quickly upon hearing the voice transmission.

When she hurried to the backyard, her gaze fell upon the area beneath the Old Willow Tree, where a Ghost Frog Pouch indeed lay.
