Cave Refuge

But now, because the Imperial Court has made breakthroughs in some areas, ordinary people can attain the Cultivation Level of the Energy Cultivation Realm simply by taking medicines, although they cannot further improve their Cultivation Level through cultivation after taking the medicines.

But don't forget, initially, taking medicines could only achieve a Cultivation Level of the Bone Tempering Realm, and now it can attain the Energy Cultivation Realm. With future breakthroughs in the Imperial Court's scientific research, it's uncertain that one might not achieve even higher Realms through medicines.

It is precisely because the Imperial Court's scientific research institutions have achieved such significant results that there is also concern that humans still surviving in other regions might obtain similar opportunities.

The big issues considered by the Imperial Court have nothing to do with Dong Tianyu, but the Imperial Court has released many items with strong attractiveness to encourage civil power to venture out.

Among them, the Mysterious Core, limited to one purchase per person, has the greatest attraction; in this age where the Mysterious Ship no longer appears, seafarers obtaining a Mysterious Core is akin to gaining an extra life.

Although a Companion Spiritual Treasure obtained through a single Mysterious Core is only in its initial form, this initial form already has an area of five square meters, sufficient to prevent drowning in the sea after encountering a maritime disaster.

Besides the Mysterious Core, perhaps because Dong Tianyu has reached a certain upper limit in Contribution Points this time, Dong Tianyu also saw some relatively advanced special creations on the exchange list.

For example, a single-person flyer, which by consuming the Inner Strength inside a Martial Artist's body, can grant the Martial Artist the ability to fly freely in the sky.

Such an item is not merely a technological creation; it is definitely combined with those Awakeners who possess special abilities. Although it cannot be mass-produced on a large scale, the difficulty of making it might not be high, otherwise, the Imperial Court would not release such an item.

After all, for China, what can be sold directly to the outside is necessarily the 'youth' version; the army uses the regular version, and there is likely an enhanced version in the laboratories, which will continue to be developed into more advanced versions.

Looking at the dizzying array of items on the exchange list, Dong Tianyu indeed saw a few things he could afford now, but after seeing those slightly better items he almost could afford, Dong Tianyu ultimately did not spend and decisively turned around to leave.

After leaving the Maritime Bureau, Dong Tianyu did not directly contact Ye Liuyun to inform him of his return, but first went home to see if anything else had happened at home during his absence.

Basically, he wanted to find out if, during the time he was away from the Magic Capital Base, the Special Team had come to look for him again because of Leonard's matter.

It was not until Dong Tianyu pushed open the door that he noticed that the house, which was originally decorated in the post-war style of Syria when he left, had now changed significantly.

Not to mention other places, just speaking about the room's original cement floor, it was now completely covered with tiles, and besides, the walls were no longer in their original cement color, but were all painted over with white paint.

The original rooms, separated by stones, also had significant changes; from the first look after opening the door, it seemed that a professional designer was hired for this renovation, or else the interior layout of the house would not have been altered.

If it weren't for the fact that Dong Tianyu used the house key he took when he left to open the door, the moment he opened the door, Dong Tianyu would have thought he might have gone to the wrong place.

After taking a round inside the house, he found that his parents were not at home, so Dong Tianyu did not stay long and went into the apartment across, which was registered under his name.

Compared to the apartment across which now showed no signs of its previous appearance, this apartment under Dong Tianyu's name still maintained the way it looked before he left, with no changes except for the windows being installed.

Thinking that his parents weren't home and not planning to contact them, he did not inform his parents that he had returned.

He felt that perhaps it was because Madeline had arrived in Magic City this time, bringing with her quite a number of survivors who originally lived in the base, it might be possible that his parents went out to visit friends, so naturally, it would be inconvenient to disturb them.

Thinking that he had nothing to do now anyway, Dong Tianyu naturally did not want to stay in the empty room and subconsciously went to the rooftop, after all, standing high up and looking down when there was nothing to do gave a rather unique experience. This was also why most people liked climbing mountains.

When Dong Tianyu opened the door from the stairwell to the rooftop, he discovered that several greenhouses had been set up on the previously empty rooftop, and Father Dong and Mother Dong were busy with the plants inside.

Perhaps the two heard the door open, so they both stopped what they were doing and turned their gaze to the door.

When they saw that it was Dong Tianyu who opened the door, their faces immediately couldn't help but show a pleased expression, then both put down what they were holding and waved at Dong Tianyu, who was standing at the door, signaling him to come into the greenhouse.

Just as he entered the greenhouse, before his parents could speak, Dong Tianyu curiously asked them, "Mom and Dad, what are you planning to plant on the rooftop?"

Perhaps others might not understand their own parents well, but Dong Tianyu knew his very well. A family that could even manage to kill a cactus was now starting to plant things on the rooftop and even went so far as to set up a greenhouse. Dong Tianyu was not optimistic about this.

Dong Tianyu wasn't questioning the setting up of a greenhouse on the rooftop, as the first time he went up to the rooftop, he had thought of the same thing.

Perhaps guessing what was in Dong Tianyu's mind, after hearing his question, Father Dong immediately responded somewhat displeased: "What's the matter, you're hardly at home, and your mom and I plant some things on the rooftop, does that upset you?"

Hearing his own father say this and seeing the smile fade from Mother Dong's face, Dong Tianyu quickly pleaded: "Dad, listen to what you're saying. Whatever you two want to do, go ahead, I was just a bit curious.

What are you two planning to plant in the greenhouse, vegetables and fruits, or flowers to cultivate your minds?"

Hearing their son's explanation, Father Dong and Mother Dong's expressions eased, then Mother Dong said, "Who has the heart to plant flowers now? You should also know that Madeline has arrived here and has already settled down. The seeds we're planting, they were all sent by him.

He said the seeds he gave were watermelon seeds. The house he bought doesn't have space for planting, so he simply gave the seeds to us and said that when the watermelons are ripe, we just need to share some with him."

Hearing what Mother Dong said, Dong Tianyu didn't say anything else, after all, given the friendship between the two families, it was fine to accept the seeds.

After chatting leisurely for a while, Dong Tianyu noticed his parents were preparing to continue their earlier work, so he was about to step forward to lend a hand when...

Father Dong stopped him and reminded him, "You don't need to do the work in the field. Madeline might need something from you, so while you have the time, go contact him and invite him over for dinner tonight."

After being chased out of the greenhouse by Father Dong, Dong Tianyu did not leave the rooftop. He immediately took out his communicator to contact Ye Liuyun. The call was connected after just a few rings.

Their relationship had already become quite distant, so when the call connected, Dong Tianyu skipped the pleasantries: "Are you busy? I just got back today. If you're free, come over for dinner tonight."

Hearing what Dong Tianyu said, Ye Liuyun on the other end of the phone did not decline, immediately agreed, and also informed that he would bring all the Taylor family members over, and reminded to prepare a bountiful dinner as he intended to eat well when he arrived tonight.

For the request raised by Ye Liuyun, Dong Tianyu did not hesitate and agreed directly, unperturbed, as getting ingredients was not a difficult matter for either Dong Tianyu or Ye Liuyun.
