Chapter 185: This damn kid is killing and looting?

Ye Chenjing quickly transferred over 300 million from the sale of medicines to Lin Meng.

Watching the deposits in her account grow ever larger, Lin Meng felt extremely delighted.

Lin Meng took to heart Yang Chairman's wish to obtain fresh medicinal materials.

Once Ye Fan returns to the sect, she will put this matter on the agenda.

In the afternoon, with nothing to do, Lin Meng ordered a batch of green potted plants, totaling over a hundred pots.

After storing all the potted plants in her space, Lin Meng contacted Ye Heng.

At this moment, Ye Heng had not yet departed from Bi Hu Suo for the 13 Special Zone; hearing Lin Meng's call, he immediately slipped into his tent and devoted himself to communicating with her.

"Ye Heng, I've bought some green potted plants; I'm not sure if they can survive there. Let's run an experiment: place the potted plants from my space in Bi Hu Suo and have them recorded continuously."

"Also keep two pots in the space, so we can see whether plants can grow in the space as well."

"Logically, after several upgrades of the space, aside from changes in size, other functions haven't shown up; perhaps we can now grow plants?"

"Before this, Lin Meng tried to capture a fly buzzing around outside into her space, but failed."

"As of now, the space still lacks the ability to store living things."

"The chances of keeping these potted plants alive aren't great, but we have to try."

"Upon hearing Lin Meng's words, Ye Heng extended his mental power into the space and indeed saw a lush array of potted plants, full of vitality."

"His gaze passed over the greenery and finally rested on the soil in the pots."

"This is the naturally unpolluted soil that Lin Meng's world possesses!"

"If this soil could stay uncontaminated, wouldn't we avoid the huge cost of buying an environmental filtration system? And could we become self-sufficient, harvesting our own fresh vegetables?"

"The more Ye Heng thought about it, the more excited he became; he eagerly moved the potted plants out of the space and summoned several people from Bi Hu Suo who knew how to plant."

"Besides two young people, the rest, over a dozen, were elders of Bi Hu Suo."

"Although they are somewhat older, they are among the few in Bi Hu Suo who have experience from the civilized era."

"When everyone saw the fresh green plants placed in the tent, they all felt invigorated."

"Team Captain Ye, what is this?"

"Ye Heng didn't waste words and immediately began assigning tasks."

"These are the soil and fresh plants sent by the goddess; I want you to take turns guarding this vegetation, day and night, carefully observing their growth."

"Bestowed by the goddess? Team Captain, rest assured, we will definitely complete the mission!"

"At this moment, a young woman spoke up cautiously."

"Team Captain, is the soil given by the goddess uncontaminated clean soil?"

"As soon as she said that, everyone's throats tightened; they swallowed nervously, not daring to speak, but their eyes were fixed on the soil in the pots."

"If it truly is uncontaminated soil, it's worth at least several crates of premium supplies; even the special zone would fight over it."

"It's just a pity that Bi Hu Suo lacks an environmental filtration system; even the cleanest soil, once exposed to the space, will quickly become contaminated."

"Clean soil and water are extremely precious; ordinary civilians simply cannot keep them pure and uncontaminated."

"The water previously bestowed by the goddess is either in small bottles or stored in large barrels; only when needed is the valve opened, keeping it sealed and safe from contamination by the wasteland environment."

"But the soil is special; if sealed and kept airtight, nothing can be grown in it."

"Ye Heng carefully lifted a potted plant and brought it close to his nose to smell."

"Besides the fresh scent of the greenery, there was also a long-missed earthy aroma."

"His eyes lit up, and he exclaimed delightedly:"

"It's clean soil; the goddess isn't sure whether this soil will also be contaminated by the environment, so she gave us many potted plants, hoping we would study and record it ourselves."

"I'm going to the 13 Special Zone to attend a trade fair this time; I'm not sure if I can obtain an environmental filtration system, which is said to be very precious, complex, and controlled by only a few elites."

"If I cannot offer a price they find satisfactory, we won't be able to obtain this system."

"Ye Heng said this, his expression turning solemn."

"These potted plants are our lives, the hope of the entire Bi Hu Suo; I order you to carefully tend them and faithfully record their every change."

"Everyone knew this was a daunting task and dared not be lax."

"Team Captain, rest assured; since you trust us, we certainly won't slack off—I will cherish this with my life!"

"Guarantee to complete the mission!"

"After Lin Meng handed over the potted plants to Ye Heng, not long after, the second space showed some activity."

"While pondering, Lin Meng saw that a blood-stained set of clothing had appeared in the space, plus several pouches resembling sachets."

"Lin Meng was startled and quickly flashed into the second space."

"Ye Fan? Are you alright?"

"That blood-stained clothing belonged to Ye Fan, and Lin Meng's heart leapt to her throat."

"Just then, Ye Fan's slightly surprised voice sounded."

"Goddess sister? I'm here!"

"Lin Meng heard Ye Fan's voice and it didn't sound like he was injured; she felt somewhat relieved, but still asked about the bloody clothing."

"What's going on with this clothing?"

"Ye Fan thought to himself, 'Oh no, I've polluted the space and even let the goddess smell the blood; I really deserve to die.'"

"Ye Fan, outside the space, was at a loss and hurriedly explained."

"Goddess sister, I will definitely not put dirty things in the space next time; this time it was an emergency, and I soiled your eyes."

"Lin Meng pursed her lips; what nonsense is this kid spouting? She doesn't have that kind of cleanliness obsession."

"You've misunderstood; I'm asking if you're injured? Can you take medicinal pills to treat it?"

"Upon hearing that, Ye Fan realized the goddess sister was concerned about him, and a warm feeling welled up inside."

"He thought for a moment and then said:"

I finished the task with my senior brothers and sisters, then rested in a city. This time I didn't exert much effort in the task, so I thought of going out to hunt demon beasts to practice my skills. The bloodstains on this clothing are from hunting demon beasts; I am not injured.

Lin Meng heard this, nodded slightly, but her gaze flicked to the pouch at her feet.

They looked roughly the same in style, and she could also sense a faint unusual aura on them.

Lin Meng guessed, this should be the storage bags commonly used by cultivators in the world of immortals.

Bloodstains, several storage bags of different colors—could this brat have killed and looted?

However, Lin Meng didn't ask further, nor did she expose Ye Fan.

The world of immortals is far more dangerous than the modern world she inhabits, and the law of the jungle—survival of the fittest—is often a matter of life and death.

Ye Fan, training alone outdoors, is bound to encounter villains.

He could single‑handedly take down… one, two, three, four—four storage bags, which might mean four cultivators.

He could even counter‑kill three or four cultivators and escape unscathed—this kid really has some skill.

Outside the space, Ye Fan was hiding in a cave, his expression unusually tense.

He had just lied to the Fairy Elder Sister; if she noticed something amiss, would she think him unreliable?

But he also feared that if the Fairy Elder Sister learned he had killed people, burned them, and taken their storage bags, she would think him an inhuman demon.

By comparison, he would rather she not think him ruthless, so he could only conceal it.
