Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Dinner was meat buns and milk. Tan Shaoting thought that once they got out, he must prepare a pot, as the children, just like their mother, didn't like eating dry food at night.

After eating their fill, he took them for a walk in the cave.

Half an hour later, he told them he would put them into the space.

It was only then that Tan Shaoting could sit down cross-legged. It was truly difficult to suppress it.

With accumulated strength and his powerful Divine Sense, he suddenly advanced to the Qi Refining Seventh Level.

Tan Shaoting ran the cultivation technique for two Grand Circulations before smiling and opening his eyes.

Since it was still dark outside, he decided to sort through the two Storage Bags. After all, looking at the two people, they weren't without sect or affiliation, and he didn't want any unnecessary trouble later.

Tan Shaoting poured out the contents of the two Storage Bags, categorized similar items together, and anything with a mark, he couldn't keep. This was also why he didn't pick up their weapons. Those might have been their most valuable belongings, but he didn't dare to take them out.

There were three hundred and twenty Spirit Stones, which was too few. But at least it was better than having nothing at all.

There were also a few Array Plates, which seemed to be Third-level Array Plates, used by Foundation Establishment cultivators.

In addition, he placed some talismans and Jade Scrolls aside. He kept two sets of vestment robes without any markings to change into later.

What remained were some Jade Boxes filled with spiritual medicine, which should exchange for a good number of Spirit Stones.

There were also some animal parts that could be traded for Spirit Stones; those were also Spirit Stones.

Finally, he found a black stone, and Tan Shaoting truly couldn't tell what it was. Because he had been in the outside world for two lifetimes, his usual vigilance had slipped, and his Divine Sense directly probed into it.

By the time he realized, the soul of that Foundation Establishment Sixth Layer cultivator had already entered his Sea of Consciousness.

Tan Shaoting felt quite depressed in his heart; he truly had no common sense left. But now wasn't the time for absent-mindedness.

It's said that the soul of a Foundation Establishment cultivator shouldn't be able to possess others yet. This person must have had some fortuitous encounter.

However, he was destined to be swallowed by Tan Shaoting, who didn't even give him a chance to respond, directly devouring him.

Tan Shaoting knew that although this time he had come through unscathed, it was all down to luck. If he had encountered a Divine Soul stronger than his, he would have been in danger.

He broke into a cold sweat. He still had to go back to his wife. He couldn't be careless in the future.

He closed his eyes to digest the memories of that individual.

He breathed a sigh of relief; he really did learn a lot of information about this world, which was not the same world in which he had lived in his first life.

Tan Shaoting was unsure whether to be happy or sad. Truth be told, he still had some attachment to that world. He didn't know what had become of his little junior sister after he died, as he had watched her grow up since childhood, just like his daughter.

He also learned some basic common knowledge, almost like his original world, but here the highest was only Golden Core Stage cultivators, which put him at ease, as he didn't have to worry about being seen as an anomaly.

This world was lawless, a society where the strong prey on the weak.

He packed what he needed into one Storage Bag, and for the unwanted items, he directly burned them with a Fireball Technique.

He used a Dust Removal Technique before bringing out the three children.

This was a secret realm, without much of value. It opened once every five years, and anyone below Golden Core could enter.

Tan Shaoting thought to himself, in five years, he must come back. He still remembered that place and had to find a way back home. Even though he enjoyed the feeling of cultivation, it couldn't compare to the importance of his wife.

This secret realm had ten days left before it ended. He had to discuss plans with the three children, as he didn't know what it would be like outside.

Given the circumstances, he decided to head with the children toward the exit. Actually, the safest way was to let the children stay in the space, but he couldn't bear to.

"Dad, what's wrong?"

"Qi Yan, Qi Hong, Qi Wen, could you stay inside? It's too dangerous outside. Dad promises to let you out as soon as there's a chance."

Because in the secret realm, it was impossible not to bring the children. If they went out without the children, it would draw attention, and you shouldn't underestimate anyone in the Cultivation World.

"Alright, Dad, we can play inside by ourselves." Qi Yan nodded.

The other two also nodded. Tan Shaoting felt his nose stinging; the children were really suffering with him.

Why was he so incapable? Tan Shaoting bit his lip, thinking he must cultivate quickly to protect the three children.

"Alright, you are all Dad's good children. In ten days, after Dad gets out of here, he'll let you out."

The three children nodded obediently. Tan Shaoting put away the three children, then packed up the Array Plate and left the cave.

Even though Tan Shaoting put on the vestment robe, he still looked like the others since his hair was different, but it wasn't considered odd clothing.

He encountered several groups, the strongest being Foundation Establishment. Tan Shaoting made sure to avoid them.

Along the way, he collected a lot of spiritual medicine. He knew that he was currently deep in the secret realm, so he headed toward the exit.

Along the way, he picked up two more Storage Bags. Tan Shaoting found it quite strange; he never had such luck. It should be thanks to his wife's intervention.

Thinking of this, his expression changed; it must be something his wife did.

Since it still involved cultivation, it meant she had transcended the Five Elements. There must be some form of connection. He knew for sure that his wife must have done something, otherwise, it was impossible for him to pass through the time tunnel unscathed and have such a lucky streak.

Tan Shaoting's eyes turned red. What exactly had his wife done for him? She was so helpless on that side, while he still had three kids with him!

Within five years, he had to find a way to leave here; if that didn't work, he would commit suicide. The last time he died, he transmigrated to be with his wife, so it should work this time too.

As Tan Shaoting walked and thought, he was eager to get out and take good care of the three children. His wife would surely be especially happy when he returned.

Suddenly, he felt something calling to him. It was just like when the space called him last time; he knew it must be something good.

So without considering, he headed straight in that direction.

The feeling grew stronger. However, there really were many people ahead.

Tan Shaoting cautiously hid himself but still resolutely moved toward that direction.

The people ahead were mostly Foundation Establishment cultivators, the same stage he had seen along the way, yet he hadn't encountered many Qi Refining cultivators. Why was that? He was quite unsure.

But he became even more cautious, not knowing what might happen.
