Chapter 417: Ye Heng brings the purified soil back to Bi Hu Suo

Lin Meng looked at the three juicy Ascendant Spirit Fruits before her, knowing this was Ye Fan's wholehearted intention, but she would not really take all of them.

Leaving aside that she cultivates alone, advancing from Foundation Establishment to Golden Core only happens once, so she only needs one Ascendant Spirit Fruit.

Just the process of obtaining this Ascendant Spirit Fruit was something Ye Fan alone bore great risk to obtain.

Lin Meng couldn't be so shameless as to take all of Ye Fan's labor results in one go.

She said with a smile:

"I just need one; keep the other two for yourself."

Ye Fan scratched his head, embarrassed to say that he had originally planned the same.

Now it seems the fairy elder sister is indeed very kind, always thinking of him and never asking for anything in return.

He decided he must find more spirit fruits and heavenly treasures for the fairy elder sister.

In this secret realm, treasures are everywhere; if he is careful enough, he will surely find many treasures, at which point he can let the fairy elder sister pick what she likes.

Having obtained the Ascendant Spirit Fruit, Ye Fan's trip to the secret realm is no longer a loss; next he wants to, without endangering his own safety, obtain as many heavenly treasures as possible.

Lin Meng left the space with her own Ascendant Spirit Fruit in hand.

This small fruit, so fresh and juicy, even just holding it in her hand and sniffing it gives a strong fragrance; no wonder Ye Fan said the scent released when the fruit ripens can drive spirit beasts into a frenzy.

She thought for a moment, then moved the Ascendant Spirit Fruit into the third space.

Nowadays her personal belongings are all kept in the third space, which is solely hers.

It's not that she distrusts Ye Heng and Ye Fan; it's just that those two spaces are interconnected, so putting personal items there would lack privacy and would also restrict Ye Heng and Ye Fan when using the spaces, which would be bad for both.

Anyway, she currently has three spaces, each large enough for her use; letting Ye Heng and Ye Fan have the primary use of the first and second spaces is fine, she doesn't lose out.

Speaking of spaces, that reminded her of the fourth bracelet.

Ye Heng should be contacting her soon; then she can ask him for some crystals to try to boost her space and mental power, perhaps then the fourth bracelet could be used.

She also didn't know whether this time she would continue to unlock a new plane or something else…

These past days, the household has been quiet during the day and lively at night.

Since deciding to let her cousin tag along, this kid goes to study during the day and returns home at night chattering nonstop, regardless of whether anyone listens, he will repeat everything he learned in class that day.

Lin Meng had originally felt indifferent about classes, but she was dragged along by his talkativeness and ended up hearing quite a bit about financial management and law.

One must admit, once this person has a goal and aspiration, he tackles everything with the vigor of being injected with chicken blood.

According to her aunt, Xu Yixiao was originally just a little bookworm, not good at studying, only having some last-minute cramming experience.

But this time he knows his older sister needs him to study, and he has paid a large sum in tuition, so during class he dares not lose focus for a moment, becoming a diligent little learner who studies very hard.

Lin Meng also felt relieved seeing Xu Yixiao like this; in the future, managing the immortal cultivation university, she will only handle decision‑making management and certainly won't want to deal with the trivial details.

If her cousin can truly help her shoulder the main burden, then she will be carefree and relaxed.

A few days later, Ye Heng finally brought the purified soil back to Bi Hu Suo.

After arranging Luo Song's family, Ye Heng immediately placed the brought‑back purified soil into the already‑built purification planting area.

Feeling the fresh air brought by the primary purification device, Ye Heng's heart was full of confidence.

"The purified soil has arrived; everyone, lend a hand, place the soil into the reclamation trenches, and absolutely do not waste even a bit."

As Ye Heng's words fell, dozens of residents preselected from Bi Hu Suo sprang into action.

Some of them already had planting experience, but most were elderly; the remaining young people, after prior training, had also mastered basic techniques, so planting was no problem.

Everyone felt excited seeing Ye Heng's hard‑won purified soil; it is said that this kind of purified soil, aside from the special zone, is possessed only by a few large sanctuaries.

And those large sanctuaries are all massive beasts, each starting with at least ten thousand people.

Their Goddess Bi Hu Suo so far has members not even exceeding one thousand.

For such a small‑sized sanctuary, not to mention purified soil, they might not even have purified water.

Yet they rely on Team Captain Ye Heng, and even have this scarce purified soil.

No, more accurately, they rely not on Ye Heng but on the goddess behind them, who is their true savior!

"Team Captain, rest assured! We will treat every grain of this soil as a treasure, absolutely not waste it, and not let down your and the goddess's efforts!"

"Everyone, be careful together; although this purified soil looks plentiful, to fill each of the planting strips we prepared we still need to be frugal and cannot waste even a speck."

Soon, everyone put on gloves and began moving the purified soil.

The planting area is fairly large; they opened twenty planting strips, each not very wide, but if fully planted they could completely allow the sanctuary to achieve vegetable self‑sufficiency.

The trench depth is not shallow; Ye Heng estimated that the purified soil he brought back is just enough.

Everyone worked together, quickly filling the purified soil into the planting trenches, then after watering with a bit of purified water source, they all turned their gazes to Ye Heng.

"Team Captain, have the seeds been bought? I used to go to the black market and occasionally came across some seeds; they are extremely valuable, even the special zone guards them tightly—could they be more expensive than the purified soil?"

Upon hearing this, the hopeful faces of everyone instantly showed worry.

After finally obtaining soil, if they can't buy seeds or can only get a little, they still won't be able to be self‑sufficient.

Ye Heng, hearing this, only worried that the seeds he brought back would be difficult to grow and survive, as the quality of seeds left in the world today is poor.

If the native seeds won't work, then he can only turn to Lin Meng for help.

Ye Heng thought it over, did not hide the matter of the seeds, and said what he had seen in the 13 Special Zone.

Nobody expected that the planting area inside the special zone would be so miserable—cabbage the size of a speck, few vegetable varieties, seeds shriveled, many hollow or bad.

Looking at this trend, their idea of growing enough vegetables on this little land is clearly a pipe dream.

"What should we do? After finally obtaining purified soil, having a purification device for the water source, and being able to purify the air, it would be a real shame if we couldn't grow anything."

"I didn't expect the special zone to be this hard; the edible vegetables there aren't as good as ours, and I suddenly feel that being a citizen isn't so great either."

"Team Captain, why not take out the seeds you bought and have a look? Before the apocalyptic disaster, I too was a farmer; farming is my forte, so maybe there's a way."
