The carriage rumbled softly along the dirt path, sunlight falling through the window and warming Lin Yuanfeng's shoulders. As soon as they reached his home.
He handed the driver four spirit stones. "Pick me up tomorrow at 11 a.m.," he instructed, then stepped down.
The driver nodded, a hint of curiosity in his eyes, and bowed slightly. Lin Yuanfeng watched him leave, then turned toward the house.
Entering the house, he approached his parents room.
Inside, his parents were still weak, resting on their straw beds. Lin Yuanfeng's heart tightened at the sight of them—Lin Changsheng's rugged face pale and weary, Yue Lingxin's gentle eyes clouded with fatigue.
"I bought a courtyard in the Inner City," he said as he entered, trying to sound casual. "We'll move tomorrow. Don't worry, I'll handle everything here before we leave."
His parents exchanged glances, curiosity and concern mingling in their eyes. "Fenger, where did the money come from? "Lin Changsheng asked, voice low but filled with worry.
Lin Yuanfeng smiled faintly. "I got a reward for returning the lost goods to their owner. That's how."
They studied him silently for a moment, then slowly nodded.
Satisfied, he took two porcelain bottles from his bag and handed one to each of them. "These are Qi Nourishing Pills—ten each. Take them slowly."
"Fenger…" Yue Lingxin's voice trembled, tears welling in her eyes.
"It's also a reward from that person," Lin Yuanfeng reassured them. "You don't need to worry."
They hesitated for a moment, looking at the pills in his hands, until he pulled out two more bottles from his pocket, showing them confidently.
"See? I also have cultivation resources. Consume these and get healthy."
His parents finally relaxed. "Fenger. We won't be a burden to you in the future," Lin Changsheng said softly.
Lin Yuanfeng shook his head, gentle but firm. "Don't talk like that. I will take care of you both."
As he changed their bandages, he noticed most of the wounds had already closed. The dark bruises from the beast attacks were fading. By tomorrow morning, they might be fully healed, he thought.
Later, he stepped outside and sat on a stone slab near the house, feeling the breeze carry the scent of soil and faint spiritual qi from the farmland. He focused in his mind and summoned the system panel.
a light screen appeared before him

He realized he forgot to use the lottery last night because he was out of place recovering from the system's sudden appearance.
"System, draw a grade-1 lottery," he thought.
The voice echoed softly in his mind:
"Congratulations host for winning grade-1 lottery! You have got Top Grade-1 Wood Qi Guiding Staff as your reward."
He retrieved the staff from the inventory. The smooth wooden frame hummed faintly with green vitality. His mind was focused on it and then a light screen appeared explaining about it
'Wood Qi Guiding Staff
Exp : A top Grade-1 artifact that can be used to accelerate the growth speed of a plant. Spiritual consumption varies based on the number of plants and its grade.'
Excited, he pointed it at a small normal plant nearby and poured in his spiritual energy. A soft green light enveloped the plant, and in moments, it grew rapidly, reaching four feet in height. Spiritual energy was almost negligible.
Encouraged by this result he put the staff in his normal storage pouch, he summoned the next lottery rewards:
"Congratulations host for winning special reward in grade-1 lottery! You have got Growth Acceleration Card*3 as your reward."
"Congratulations host for winning special reward in grade-1 lottery! You have got Comprehension Card as your reward."
Lin Yuanfeng laughed silently. This… this could solve my cultivation and money problems for now.
That night, he returned to his room and meditated, consuming a Qi Nourishing Pill he carefully circulated the spiritual energy through his meridians but couldn't open the Guanyuan felt resistance. Only after consuming four pills in total, he felt a strong surge of spiritual energy within his meridians and pierced through the blockage at once and opened up the Guanyuan point .
Crack…
His body trembled slightly as the energy flowed freely, and he had broken through to Qi Refining 3rd Layer.
He exhaled, sweat beading on his forehead. I should use the Talent Upgradation Card soon to improve cultivation efficiency.
Exhausted from nonstop cultivation, Lin Yuanfeng lay down and closed his eyes. The soft moonlight filtered through the window, illuminating the small room. For the first time, he felt both hope and determination.
