Chapter 27: Opening the Second Space, Connecting to the Cultivation World

Lin Meng tightly gripped the wooden box, walking briskly outward, not wanting to stay another moment.

As she got into the car, a Cullinan brushed past and smoothly stopped at the Ye family's gate.

Lin Meng only managed to see the back of the person getting out of the car before the driver took her away from the Ye family.

Ye Chenjing noticed Lin Meng and the ancient wooden box in her hand, guessed her identity, and a flash of realization crossed his refined, noble, handsome face……

After last night's revelry, the sanctuary took on a vibrant, flourishing appearance overnight.

Everyone's face bore a long‑absent smile as they chatted about yesterday's dinner.

"The cabbage is incredibly fresh and sweet—no wonder it's considered a holy product in the eyes of the upper citizens."

"Exactly, and have you noticed? This cabbage is huge and fresh—one leaf is enough to feed a whole family. I heard the upper citizens' cabbage tastes bitter and is small, but the goddess's gift is different!"

"Did you guys eat meat buns last night? My goodness, they're so fragrant! One bite bursts with juice—turns out eating meat is this awesome!"

"My kids love roasted sweet potatoes and oranges; once they start eating, they want more. If I didn't hold them back, they could probably finish a whole night's worth!"

"You really need to guard it closely—Team Captain Ye said the goddess‑bestowed food is precious; we must savor it slowly, not treat it carelessly."

Ye Heng went early to several households with pregnant women, delivering the medicine and birthing supplies Lin Meng had given them respectively.

Although he didn't know the specific effects of these nutritional supplements, he completely trusted Lin Meng.

The pregnant women who received the goddess's gifts couldn't stop smiling.

"Team Captain Ye, you said this is formula for the babies to drink later? Just mix with water and it becomes milk? Is it really that convenient?"

Ye Heng nodded, taught them how to prepare the milk, and instructed:

"This formula is far more valuable than vegetables or meat; the goddess gave it only to you because she worries your milk supply is insufficient and the children will starve—so hide it well and don't let anyone else know."

Although the people in the sanctuary have gotten along for a long time, precautions are still necessary; we can never test human nature, especially in the wasteland world.

Hearing this, the pregnant women's faces grew solemn, and they hid the formula in a very concealed place.

They knew milk is highly nutritious; in the entire wasteland world, only the wealthy upper citizens have a chance to drink it—even ordinary upper citizens can't enjoy it.

Moreover, I've heard that some heartless people specifically hunt lactating women just to drain their milk.

If outsiders learned about the goddess's formula, they would surely fight over it to the point of bloodshed.

Ye Heng still kept in mind Lin Meng's instructions; that afternoon he took a few alert team members out of the sanctuary again, and let Sun Hao lead the other members to search for the gold, silver, and jewels the goddess needed.

This time, he intended to proactively go negotiate with the Special Zone Chief of Zone 13 to purchase a suitable self‑defense weapon for Lin Meng.

——

After being sent back to the hotel, Lin Meng immediately opened the wooden box, and sure enough, there was a jade bracelet inside.

This jade bracelet, in both material and appearance, was almost exactly the same as the one her grandfather had buried at the grave mound.

Lin Meng was overjoyed and hurriedly put the bracelet on her wrist.

Moments later, that familiar scorching sensation indeed appeared.

Bearing the pain, Lin Meng stared excitedly at her wrist without blinking.

This time, she personally witnessed the bracelet's process of going from existence to nothingness.

Only when a black circular pattern emerged on her wrist did she dare to breathe.

The two black rings imprinted on her wrist seemed to resonate with each other, then gradually faded, becoming nearly impossible to notice with the naked eye unless looked at closely.

Having witnessed this miracle firsthand, Lin Meng felt ever more that her grandfather was formidable.

She even faintly sensed that the ancestors of the old Lin family might not be ordinary.

Having experienced entering a space once before, this time Lin Meng actively used her mental power to enter the new space.

This independent space turned out to be twice as large as the first space that was connected with Ye Heng.

Inside the space were a few wooden swords, several sets of spare clothing, and various miscellaneous items, all looking quite ancient.

Lin Meng crouched to examine closely; within the bundle of clothing lay a tattered book bearing the title "Shen Yin Jue".

"This……is it a cultivation manual?"

"Could it be that the owner of this second space she's linked to comes from a fantasy world?"

"Yo‑you‑you……who are you?"

Suddenly, a somewhat immature youth's voice echoed in the space, sounding very nervous.

Lin Meng quickly sensed that an unfamiliar spiritual power was probing her.

Ye Fan had been cultivating in the back mountains, but suddenly felt that an unfamiliar presence had appeared in his recently obtained spirit‑abode space.

As a result, when his spiritual power probed inward, he discovered a blurry figure walking to and fro in his space, frightening him to the brink of losing his cultivation.

Lin Meng, however, was completely unfazed, raised her hand and said:

"Young man, don't panic—I'm not a bad person; your spirit‑abode space is linked to mine, we are fated to meet."

Ye Fan stood dazed for a few seconds, scratched his head, feeling somewhat shocked.

The spirit‑abode space was an independent space he inadvertently opened when he fell into an ancient tomb, hidden within his mental sea; without a Nascent Soul‑level expert, it would be impossible to detect.

"Could it be that this blurry figure before me is a Nascent Soul senior?"

Ye Fan dared not act rashly, fearing to provoke the other party and have his consciousness shattered, reducing him to a cripple.

He quickly spoke up to apologize.

"Senior, please calm your anger; it is I, the junior, who was rash and offended you just now—I didn't know your Nascent Soul avatar had descended into this junior's spirit‑abode; what are your orders?"

"Senior? Nascent Soul avatar?"

It seems my sudden appearance in his private space made him mistake me for a powerful expert.

Although Lin Meng doesn't read much xianxia fiction, she still knows some basic information.

A Nascent Soul cultivator—such a being can move mountains and fill seas with a flick of a finger.

After pondering, Lin Meng came up with an idea.

She steadied herself in the space, straightened her back, and spoke solemnly:

This venerable one, cough cough, this venerable one is not within your plane; occasionally made contact with your spirit abode space, harboring no ill intent—so do not be nervous.

This self-proclaimed overly arrogant one, at the moment Lin Meng opened her mouth, she actually felt somewhat guilty.

She is merely an ordinary mortal from Blue Star; what virtue or ability does she have to pretend to be a cultivation big shot?

But hearing the other party's young guy show her extraordinary awe, she also felt inexplicably pleased.

This damned vanity……

Ye Fan, upon hearing this, felt his heart jump violently; the look of awe on his youthful face intensified.

Senior truly is a great expert! Moreover, likely already surpassing the Nascent Soul stage, she can even shatter the void!

In Small Stone Forest, Ye Fan immediately knelt down with a thud.

"Senior, junior daringly begs you to help me set foot on the path to immortality!"

"\"……\""

Ye Fan, that young guy, is truly a chatterbox; Lin Meng spent over two hours negotiating with him before finally freeing herself from the space, almost exhausting her mental strength.

She rubbed her brow, lay on the bed, and slowly digested the shocking information Ye Fan had given her.

The space bracelet is incredibly heaven-defying—what terrifying planes has it connected her to?

After enduring the apocalypse, the Fe Tu Shi Jie was bad enough, but now it actually matched her with a cultivation world.

Grandfather, you're truly awesome!
