Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

When the water reaches the canal, his cultivation after two days directly advanced to Qi Cultivation Great Perfection.

Accumulating strength over time and the strength of Divine Sense made the advancement not difficult at all.

However, due to being under attention, he disguised his cultivation as Qi Cultivation Tenth Layer, so as not to make others envious, reducing a lot of attention.

He arrived at the Task Hall, noticing many people watching him.

He was very angry inside, as he disliked being the center of attention due to gossip.

Yet, there was nothing to explain, the more you explain, the more trouble it invites, prompting more speculation.

Thus he wore a grim face, making it even more unapproachable than usual.

Seeing there was a task at the Scripture Pavilion lasting ten days, he accepted it without consideration.

After he left, people at the Task Hall began to chatter.

The female cultivators talked the most spiritedly. Many were jealous of Luo Yinghui; after all, it's due to her good Spirit Root, good family, and numerous outstanding men liking her.

No matter what it is, it evoked jealousy, and thus gossip was plentiful.

"This Tan Shaoting is indeed excellent, no wonder the girls are willing to pursue him."

"Isn't it so? But it seems like the girl is interested while the boy is not. It's truly hard to say. What do those ambitious men think about it?"

Though they dared to talk, they absolutely wouldn't say it openly. Also, because Luo Yinghui wasn't in the Sect, they felt a bit more unrestrained.

However, they wouldn't go too far. After all, Luo Yinghui's status holds weight, only a few uttered a few sentences before leaving hurriedly, afraid of trouble.

Tan Shaoting couldn't care less about such trivial matters, he headed straight to the Scripture Pavilion with those task tokens.

This time, the task was book binding and repair, relatively easy, generally female cultivators would take on such tasks.

Tan Shaoting didn't mind these tasks. He remained hopeful of finding any possible trace of secrets in the Scripture Pavilion, even if just a few words.

He worked diligently alongside a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator at the Scripture Pavilion, and earned recognition. Having experienced three lifetimes, his mindset was naturally better, allowing him to focus on work meticulously, even more detail-oriented than the female cultivators.

Cultivators usually have no distinction between day and night, sleeping at night is merely a habit from being human.

Thus, the two of them continued without rest, with time allocated for meditation.

Working non-stop for five days, they completed the ten-day workload within five days.

"As a reward, you may read books on the second floor."

"Thank you, Uncle Master." Tan Shaoting knew, as long as you put in the effort, your superiors will notice, generally leading to unexpected benefits. Isn't this exactly what happened?

"Uncle Master, I wish to read travel notes and unofficial histories, those kinds of books." Indirectly informing the Foundation Establishment cultivator that he won't read any Cultivation Techniques or Magic.

"Doesn't matter, you have five days, just pick out any damaged books if you see any."

"Alright, thank you, Uncle Master."

Elated, Tan Shaoting headed to the second floor, where the shelves were filled with high-level Qi Cultivation Stage Cultivation Techniques and Magic.

Before taking on the task, Tan Shaoting had sent Sound Transmission Talismans to the three children, who all promised they definitely wouldn't descend the mountain, allowing him peace of mind to read.

The power of Divine Sense was indeed beneficial, speeding up his progress considerably.

In an inconspicuous spot, he discovered a travel note regarding the Wolf Tooth Mountain Secret Realm.

Tan Shaoting took it out and sat directly on the ground.

All his hopes were pinned on the Wolf Tooth Mountain Secret Realm, having heard many rumors about it.

It's a very ordinary secret realm, mostly because there's nothing valuable left inside. It is also a secret realm freely accessible to Loose Cultivators.

Why would someone write such a travel note?

Flipping through it quickly, the more he read, the more he felt that secret realm wasn't what it seemed on the surface? But what's different, he couldn't pinpoint, feeling quite puzzled.

Reading through once more, he could already recite the content by memory.

While turning the pages, he suddenly noticed one piece of parchment felt different from the others.

During the first reading, he hadn't noticed it. Suspecting a hidden layer within it.

Gently, he tried to separate it with caution to see what lay within.

After careful effort, in the time it took to drink a cup of tea, he finally unveiled this parchment.

It turned out to be a drawing, appearing to be a map.

Tan Shaoting studied it closely, recalling the places he had visited in the secret realm and comparing them with the map.

The more he looked, the more familiar it felt, recognizing it as the valley where he and his sons once fell. It turned out to be Jue Ling Valley, but when they fell, they could still sense Spiritual Energy, albeit meager, which vastly differed from the descriptions above.

Something must have happened over the years? Tan Shaoting stored away the map, unsure if it was fate's arrangement, wishing the four of them to reunite with his wife. Then he started gathering information, trying to learn about Jue Ling Valley, but no records existed.

The five days passed quickly, and he descended with over ten books, all needing repair.

The Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator was very pleased with Tan Shaoting.

After handing over the task at the Task Hall, he took on another task to organize goods at the workshop store.

This is really quite nice, a task many eagerly compete for. Was it because of fortune smiling upon him? Or was it just perfect timing?

Regardless, he accepted it, sending another Sound Transmission Talisman to the three children.

All three were delighted, urging the trio to meet him at the workshop.

"It's just a ten-day task, just helping sort goods, I'll be back soon, and we can head to the back mountain together, you have your break."

July 15th was fast approaching, and they wanted to find a secluded place to see if they could meet with their wife and mom from another world.

Tan Shaoting couldn't trust the children to come down the mountain to find him by themselves, thus he declined their request.

The workshop store involves organizing demon beast corpses. A batch had just returned from the borderlands with numerous demon beast corpses.

No choice, there were too many, and the store manpower was insufficient, thus they issued tasks at the Task Hall.

Tan Shaoting had no issues; he handled it in his past life too, becoming faster with experience.

These demon beast corpses were all Second Rank, not even one First-tier Demon Beast. Meaning the beasts crossing the barrier were climbing in ranks.

A ten-day workload for one person was two thousand beasts, which was indeed exhausting.

Starting off rusty but then managed to complete the task within eight days.
