Traveling by train and plane is relatively convenient on this continent, and many places can also be reached by car. Under the guise of tourism, occasionally visiting the bases of notorious gangs or arms dealers can be quite interesting.
There are pirates here, the fully armed kind. What are we doing with such a big space? You rob others, I'll rob you. It's a classic case of double-crossing, no problem!
Tong Yuheng thus had ample funds for her activities, using what she had at home and what she had collected. She frequently met with Chinese scholars and promising students, eventually forming a club and several research groups. She encouraged everyone to come up with good research projects, saying she could secure funding.
After about a year of screening and selection of personnel, she established a research and development team. The team members were very capable, and soon a practical air conditioning device passed the test and went into production!
She also owns the factory. Li Chengsong helped her recruit workers, and she has her own people at the grassroots level to help with management. All she needs to do is provide technical support.
Of course, this is only what's outwardly apparent. She also bought an estate in the suburbs of the city and built a small building for each research team. The teams each have their own doors, do their own work, and don't interfere with each other. She also collected various cutting-edge technologies and application manufacturing data, preparing to send them back through the channels here.
She and Li Chengsong have spent little time together in the past two years. Their studies and research have been very demanding, and they also have to complete temporary tasks. They can only meet for a day or two occasionally, and most of the time they spend exchanging information about each other's work and task plans.
In the past year or two, she has significantly reduced the time she spends on cultivation. However, thanks to the heaven-defying cheat tool of her spatial ability, her martial arts prowess has reached a terrifying level.
Tong Yuheng's cultivation level has reached the seventh level of the first stage of Qi Refining. Each stage is divided into nine levels. A Qi Refiner of her level is equivalent to the "Land Immortal" level, which has not appeared in martial arts for a long time!
She rested and cultivated in the space as much as possible, which bought her more time. There was no shortage of medicinal herbs here, and she occasionally took the time to refine pills, so she only used the best ones for Li Chengsong. Therefore, he had now steadily entered the advanced Grandmaster realm. Who told him he didn't have a cheat code like the space!
The Qionghua Secret Realm is rich in medicinal herbs, and because they contain spiritual energy, their effects are comparable to those of herbs irrigated with spiritual springs. Many of these herbs were unfamiliar to her, and to avoid wasting these valuable resources, she accepted some planting tasks from the Mission Pavilion, spending time each day entering the secret realm and riding an off-road motorcycle to tend to the medicinal herb fields.
There's no other way. Using the teleportation array would waste spirit stones, and walking there is too far! But the spirit field is already the closest training ground to the Qionghua Palace!
If that Venerable Qionghua knew about her situation, she'd probably laugh herself to death! She'd never seen such a timid and incompetent little cultivator!
Her alchemy skills have improved significantly in the past two years. She has finally obtained the "Introduction to Alchemy" and other secret manuals that novice alchemists need to learn from the Pill Pavilion through the rewards of her missions, and has begun her career as an alchemist who truly refines pills.
After learning the basics of alchemy, she realized that the small incense burner was actually an alchemy furnace, and a rather high-level one at that! No wonder it had a lid; she had wondered before why an incense burner needed a lid!

Tong Yuheng's research lab required substantial funding, so she adopted a different identity, posing as an elderly traditional Chinese medicine doctor. She specialized in treating wealthy, elderly, and seriously ill individuals, charging exorbitant fees. The medicinal solutions she used for "treatment" were virtually free—the spiritual spring water from her cultivation space.
Since the two spaces merged, the efficacy of the spiritual spring water has been greatly enhanced. When she refines some ordinary health-preserving medicinal soups and adds the spiritual spring water, it can truly bring the dying back to life!
Therefore, she only treats patients who are terminally ill or have been given a death sentence by doctors, charging millions of pounds, and promising that after treatment, the person will not be in danger of death due to the disease for three to five years.
This caused a great sensation among the nobility and wealthy families, and people flocked to her for treatment. However, she would selectively choose her clients. She declared that she was Chinese and used traditional Chinese medicine, so she would not treat those who were hostile to Chinese people!
She used this identity to acquire a great deal of wealth, part of which she invested in her research team, and part of which she used to buy villas, farms, cars, and the luxury goods needed to maintain her socialite status.
Tong Yuheng also collaborated with several local companies as an investor, providing them with patented technologies and utilizing their existing factories and transportation lines to transport advanced machinery and equipment to the mainland through the port city.
They cannot communicate with their families here, and news from their relatives is often delayed; their families are unaware that they have traveled across the ocean to study.
Their identities were given a higher level of confidentiality, and all their information within China was thoroughly investigated. Tong Yuheng was a martyr's son who was selected to study abroad because of his intelligence and good performance; Li Chensong was the son of a high-ranking official with impeccable political credentials. Any other information that could be found was the same information they were allowed to access.
The Lunar New Year is almost here, and Tong Yuheng misses home. She longs to see her family, to sit around the round table, eating and chatting, watching her younger sisters bicker and tease each other, and to see if her two little sisters are already running around and calling her "sister"...
Everything is going very well for the Tong family, whom Tong Yuheng is keeping an eye on:
Tong Yuyao was recommended by the military to attend a worker-peasant-soldier university due to her outstanding work performance. In her spare time, she also wrote articles for the military, keeping her very busy. She wanted to share her achievements with her older sister, but unfortunately, she couldn't get in touch with her.
Linglong graduated from high school smoothly with average grades. As planned, she signed up for military service in the fall of 1972 and was successfully enlisted because of her excellent physical fitness.
They were assigned to a southern island where conditions were quite harsh. Because they both knew some medical knowledge and how to treat external injuries, they were assigned to the medical company after basic training.
The two sisters never expected that the confidence they had lost at home due to the academic excellence would be restored in the military!
Compared to ordinary female soldiers, they have a broader knowledge base and read more books, which made them stand out among a group of female soldiers and earn them everyone's envy and admiration.
Then they remembered their mother's and older sister's words: "No book is read in vain, and no skill is acquired in vain." So the two sisters studied nursing knowledge very diligently, always striving to be the best. They helped each other, supervised each other, and competed with each other.
An experienced doctor at the hospital noticed that the two women knew some external wound suturing skills and learned that their family had a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, so he took them on as apprentices. They have now begun studying the theoretical knowledge of anatomy.
