Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

The three kids obediently nodded. Tan Shaoting took them in, and without lingering, he intended to leave this place as soon as possible.

It would be good if they could meet someone, at least to know where this is. It would be troublesome if they were truly trapped here.

Tan Shaoting was very anxious, so he unconsciously used his cultivation technique, though he actually didn't sense any spiritual energy here.

He felt quite conflicted inside. He hoped this place had spiritual energy for cultivation, thinking he could help the three kids complete their energy introduction here.

Anyway, his mind was a mess, but he didn't stop moving.

He walked through the whole night before finally coming out of the valley.

He had already observed the area with his divine sense, and indeed, there was nothing.

Tan Shaoting remembered this place; perhaps it would be the way out in the future.

Once outside, he sensed the long-lost spiritual energy.

He felt exceptionally comfortable. This long-forgotten sensation made him feel like his pores were opening.

Suddenly, he sensed some movement ahead, and he cautiously approached.

Although he was only at the Qi Cultivation Fourth Layer now, he was once a Golden Core Master.

So he could see that the two entangled figures were Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Tan Shaoting smiled bitterly; he was just a rookie now and really couldn't go forward.

He urgently needed to find a place to advance quickly. The spiritual energy here was too rich, and he couldn't suppress it anymore.

But things rarely go as one wishes.

The two Foundation Establishment cultivators had already decided the winner and loser. The one at the sixth layer was defeated, but the one at the fifth layer didn't come out unscathed either.

"Haha, Zhang Qiao, you painstakingly tried to get this treasure from me, but I'd rather destroy it than give it to you."

Tan Shaoting realized things were turning bad. He activated his Divine Walking Technique to the extreme and fled quickly; in front of those two, he was nothing, and he didn't want to be caught up in their conflict.

In the past, he might have thought to take advantage of such a situation, but not anymore.

Not long after he left, there came the sound of an explosion from that direction.

Tan Shaoting was blown away and smiled bitterly. This is what happens when you're not strong enough.

After a while, he got up; he was indeed injured, but not too seriously.

He didn't have any elixirs on hand. Clenching his teeth, he went back. Since he was caught up in these two's affairs, based on the commotion just now, neither of the Foundation Establishment cultivators could have fared well.

Tan Shaoting was indeed hoping to take advantage of the situation. His attire was odd enough to draw attention, so it was best to keep a low profile.

When he arrived at the scene, he saw the two figures blurred by the explosion lying on the ground. He didn't dare go over and used his divine sense to check.

Confirming that both were really dead, he went over. The storage bags weren't damaged. So he took down the two storage bags and used a spell to bury the two in the dirt.

Then he hurriedly left. He needed to find a place to advance quickly.

Because of his strong divine sense, he quickly found a cave.

After checking for danger, he entered. He had nothing, so he had to search the storage bags he picked up.

Since the two were dead, opening the storage bags was very simple.

He found an array plate, placed spirit stones, and activated it.

Only then did he sit down safely, sensing into the space and finding the three kids still asleep. They had been sleeping for a long time, and he feared any harm to them.

Even if it meant holding off on advancing, he had to let the three kids out.

Qi Yan and the other two woke up and sat around Tan Shaoting,

Children, when in a strange environment, are naturally fearful and lack a sense of security.

"Alright, do you want to play for a while?"

"Dad, right here?"

"Yes, because outside is too dangerous. Dad can't beat them, so we have to hide."

Tan Shaoting was also quite frustrated. He had grown accustomed to the world without spiritual energy, where he was a strong figure, but in the cultivation world, he was the lowest of the low.

"Dad, when I grow up, I'll go and beat them," Qi Hong said earnestly, looking at Tan Shaoting.

"Alright, Dad will wait for you to beat them. I'll take you out for a walk, but we can't stay outside too long."

Tan Shaoting felt pain in his meridians, but he had to reassure the kids first. He was confident he could advance in one night, so he had to forcibly suppress it today.

After going out and noticing nothing unusual, he took the kids to explore nearby.

Children, when seeing new things, always ask incessantly.

Tan Shaoting patiently explained everything to them.

"Once we leave here, Dad will teach you how to cultivate."

Even though they were only three years old, he needed to lay the groundwork for them.

The materials for Washing Marrow and Cutting Tendons that his wife provided were all in the space. Once they left, he'd find a safe place to perform the washing marrow for the three kids.

Sure enough, there were some low-level spiritual medicines nearby. Tan Shaoting carefully picked them; living here and supporting three kids would cost a lot.

Even the tiniest mosquito is still meat. Nothing should be wasted.

The four of them had a simple breakfast outside, just milk and bread.

They only returned to the cave by noon. Lunch couldn't be perfunctory. The kids had prawns and buns.

There was no other way; he didn't like thin soup, so he hadn't prepared any.

After the kids were full, they didn't want to take a nap.

That was also Tan Shaoting's plan; he didn't want them to sleep so they'd sleep more at night.

Though he was confident, the unknowns still suggested it was better to allow more time.

The four of them continued playing nearby. Tan Shaoting taught them about spiritual medicines and their effects.

There were also some he didn't recognize, but he could tell they were spiritual medicines because he could sense the spiritual energy from them.

This way, the kids were happier, and only then did Tan Shaoting feel relieved.

"Dad, look, isn't this the spiritual medicine you mentioned?"

Tan Shaoting looked at the spiritual medicine Qi Wen held up and nodded with a smile.

"Yes, this is the Shi Lan I told you about. Do you know its medicinal properties?"

"Dad, I know. It's the main ingredient for the Blood Stopping Pill."

"Correct. Qi Yan answered very correctly."

The whole afternoon, the four of them made some gains, and as dusk approached, the three kids started to wilt.

Qi Wen tugged at Tan Shaoting's hand. "Dad, I want Mom."

"Didn't Dad tell you? We need to work hard to find the way to Mom together."

The three kids were all downcast. Tan Shaoting chatted with them, took them back into the cave, and drew water for their baths.
