Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

A small Jade Bottle truly appeared in Qi Yan's hand.

"Qi Yan, remember to put it away and store it in that house."

In an instant, the Jade Bottle in Qi Yan's hand disappeared again.

The little fellow was overjoyed.

Tan Shaoting placed the ring on Qi Yan's finger.

"Qi Yan, now think about making the ring smaller so it fits you and let it hide itself."

The ring on Qi Yan's hand truly disappeared. It was truly magical, and Qi Hong and Qi Wen, the two siblings, looked at their big brother with envy.

Tan Shaoting smiled and called the four of them over. Was this their compensation? Actually, Tan Shaoting wanted to say that there was no need for compensation; just letting them go back would be fine.

Seeing the envious look in the other two children's eyes, Tan Shaoting hurriedly took Qi Hong's ring.

The couple was always like this; no matter what the situation, they would follow the order, which also taught the children the sequence of seniority.

There were fewer Jade Scrolls in Qi Hong's ring compared to Qi Yan's, and there weren't many Spirit Stones, but there were still a few dozen more than Qi Yan's.

"Qi Hong, let's operate it the same way as your big brother."

The little fellow nodded excitedly. Watching the ring hidden on his hand, the little fellow's other hand still reached out to touch it.

"Qi Hong, if you keep touching it like that, isn't that what Mom said, 'There's no silver 300 taels here'?"

Qi Hong quickly withdrew his hand. "Big brother, I remember."

Tan Shaoting nodded with satisfaction on the side.

Receiving the young woman's ring, this was truly a personal opportunity, and everything inside the ring was for a female cultivator. There were also a few pieces of jewelry, all for protection. The Jade Scrolls were the most, and there were over ten thousand Spirit Stones.

Hehe, the girl's luck was really quite good.

The little girl also touched the hidden ring, but probably remembered her big brother's words. So she quickly let go.

"You three must be careful. In the Cultivation World, killing for treasure is common, so you must not use it in front of outsiders."

The three children all nodded obediently.

"Alright, you three stay in the space; Dad's going to find a way out."

Tan Shaoting now had the energy to look around, but after carefully inspecting several times, there wasn't the slightest flaw.

This wouldn't do. If trapped here and unable to get out, he had to find a way back. Coming here after five years was the last resort.

He had also thought it through: the time-space tunnel appeared when Ghost Gate opened on July 15th. So he would try again on July 15th.

Anyway, if he could go back early, he would; otherwise, who knew how worried his wife would be.

He circled around for a long time without any gain.

Tan Shaoting noticed only the bed wasn't checked yet. Moreover, this bed was absolutely a good item, made entirely of Peaceful Heart Stone. What an extravagant gesture!

If one were to meditate on this, the progress would be twice the result with half the effort.

So he waved his hand to put it away. Then Tan Shaoting laughed again.

This was all a setup to collect this treasure, as there was a mechanism beneath it.

Tan Shaoting set up a Protective Shield for himself, pressed the mechanism, and felt the world spin and twist, forcing himself to keep his eyes open.

After approximately an hour, Tan Shaoting finally saw light.

The place he emerged was right above a towering Da Shu.

So he wasn't in a hurry to go down but observed the surroundings.

There were many people nearby. After closely confirming, this was indeed the exit location.

It was quite nice; although he might have missed gains along the way, the greatest gain inside was already his.

So he decided to stay on the tree, ensuring safety, especially since everyone was on guard.

Although it was widely known there was nothing good in this secret realm, everyone thought others must have obtained treasures and intended to claim them.

Out of boredom, Tan Shaoting used Divine Sense to examine the contents of three Storage Bags, filled with basic Cultivation Techniques.

These were pretty suitable for him. They were attributeless Cultivation Techniques that could be used for children to introduce energy to their bodies.

Tan Shaoting slowly studied, analyzing that these techniques were indeed quite excellent.

The waiting time was incredibly agonizing. However, below him, a fight had broken out between two groups.

More spectators joined, hoping to benefit as the ultimate winners.

Tan Shaoting wasn't curious, let alone wanted to participate, as no treasure here could outweigh his desire to find a way home.

He clearly knew that even if he collected more treasures, bringing them home wasn't guaranteed.

His Storage Ring was completely empty, and during the time-space tunnel journey, the space was in a dormant state; the children were also in a sleep state.

Therefore, he didn't collect too many items.

Now, he realized his wife had likely sworn to pass her own luck onto him and their three sons.

He figured it would be wise to conserve some good fortune, fearing his luck would be good while his wife's not.

He knew her temper; she was probably frantically searching for him and would definitely seek revenge, undisputedly, and surely succeed, with no one able to stop her.

The number of gathered people increased, forming small groups, each wary of others. Surviving six months in the secret realm was fortunate enough; regardless of the quantity or quality, there must be gains.

No one wanted the spoils gained by risking it all to be snatched away.

Thus, everyone was on guard against each other. But they wouldn't show it outwardly among their groups.

Few spoke, all watching the direction of the exit, hoping it would open soon, as long waiting here was psychologically taxing.

Tan Shaoting just continuously meditated on the tree branch, knowing he'd been noticed, but he truly didn't care.

He wouldn't harm others, and he definitely wouldn't let others harm him either.

At last, the exit space changed. Everyone was ready to dash out.

Tan Shaoting wasn't in a hurry, knowing from the memory of that cultivator, the exit would last for an hour—two hours, actually.

He let others leave first, planning to slip out amidst the crowd.

Various sects had people waiting for their disciples outside, so there wouldn't be danger immediately after leaving. But once outside, fewer people meant potential risks.

Tan Shaoting followed the crowd out. Outside, many people were gathered, but he wasn't curious, simply leaving with a few Loose Cultivators.

He knew the routes here well now and intended to head to the biggest nearby workshop, to sell his Spirit Plants, exchange them for Spirit Stones, and rent a small courtyard to wait in.
