Chapter 49: I Might Also Have to Cultivate Immortality

"Fairy Sister, how could you give me such precious spiritual water to drink? This is too valuable!"

Ye Fan panicked for a moment; he shouldn't have drunk it directly. The fairy sister said it was "happy water", surely to avoid giving him a psychological burden, deliberately fabricated. In fact, this is the spiritual water countless cultivators dream of!

Ye Fan dared not drink again; he quickly screwed the bottle cap back on, put the cola back into his space, and said:

"You treat me too well, but I'm just an ant with mediocre talent at the Qi Refining stage, unworthy of such precious spiritual water. Fairy Sister, if you have such good cultivation resources in the future, don't be so generous to me—I'm afraid I'll waste them and let you down."

Ye Fan felt unworthy; he only kept taking from the fairy sister, which is hardly manly.

Lin Meng heard this and was baffled—how could drinking a sip of cola make him belittle himself? This kid is far too lacking in confidence.

Lin Meng saw the cola had been returned to the space and raised her eyebrows slightly.

"Is this spiritual water? Water infused with spiritual energy? Isn't this just a carbonated drink?"

"Could it be that modern things in Ye Fan's world might have some hidden secret?"

But that's too far-fetched; cola only brings happiness, yet also brings negative buffs like osteoporosis, obesity, diabetes, etc., and no one has heard it helps cultivation.

The cola itself never imagined that, upon changing planes, it would transform into the spiritual water countless cultivators could only dream of!

Lin Meng thought for a moment and said:

"Ye Fan, don't first belittle yourself; didn't you forget what I just said? Talent is secondary—don't keep denying yourself. If even you lack self-confidence, what are you cultivating for? To face reality and remain an ant for life?"

"Also, don't burden yourself; my help isn't unconditional. Starting today, I'll occasionally assign you tasks. You must not only cultivate diligently but also run errands for me. If you agree, take the cola back."

Lin Meng thought this kid was too stubborn and lacked confidence; without some pressure, she couldn't be unconditionally kind to him.

Upon hearing this, Ye Fan's heart stirred slightly, and he gave it careful thought.

After a moment, he finally mustered the courage to take the cola back in his hand, though he had no intention of continuing to drink it.

He knew all too well how precious spiritual water was; in the Cloud Heaven Sect, every disciple who could enjoy spiritual water resources was a heavenly pride of the sect.

A menial disciple like him, even after a century of diligent sweeping at the sect gate earning trivial points, could not exchange them for a single drop.

Even if the fairy sister is generous, he must not waste it; he must make good use of it.

"That's right—relax. To me, cola is readily available and inexhaustible, but whether this thing has any side effects for cultivators in your world is still unknown. You can first explore it yourself and report any findings to me at any time."

Lin Meng herself was also curious just how heaven-defying cola could be on the Heavenly Gang Continent.

Upon hearing this, Ye Fan secretly gasped in astonishment—such precious spiritual water is actually inexhaustible; just how powerful is the fairy sister?

He thought for a moment, then hurriedly jumped off the bed plank and bowed down onto the empty ground.

"Fairy Sister, your great kindness, Ye Fan will never forget; I will use the spiritual water carefully and cautiously, absolutely not wasting it."

"Fairy Sister, assign me a task; the spiritual water is too precious—I truly feel unworthy to receive it."

Lin Meng naturally couldn't see Ye Fan's devout kneeling; hearing this, she pursed her lips and thought, "What a keen kid, is he so eager to run errands for me?"

He probably never imagined such a huge pie would fall from the sky for him, feeling a bit uneasy—understandable.

"How about this: you investigate for me the specific steps of ordinary-person cultivation and what conditions are needed to awaken a spiritual root—this shouldn't be too hard for you, right?"

Ye Fan listened carefully to the task; although he was curious, the fairy sister is already a venerable capable of condensing a Nascent Soul—why would she still care about ordinary-person cultivation?

But he had no doubts; the fairy sister's doing this must have its own arrangement—he just needs to follow through.

"Fairy Sister, you've asked the right person; although I accidentally awakened a spiritual root, I have indeed thoroughly studied the methods of ordinary-person cultivation."

Ye Fan quickly told Lin Meng all the information he knew.

Although ordinary-person cultivation is extremely difficult, there are shortcuts—it just depends on whether those transcendence resources can be obtained.

Upon hearing this, Lin Meng was already somewhat eager to give it a try.

"Then let's start with the Aperture-Opening Pill you mentioned; I want you to find Aperture-Opening Pills for me, and if you encounter any difficulties, you can contact me anytime."

"All right, it's getting late—go rest for now. Tomorrow I'll provide you with food and drink; you ought to cultivate diligently…"

After Lin Meng and Ye Fan ended their conversation, they lay in bed for a long time, unable to calm down.

If what Ye Fan said is true—taking an Aperture-Opening Pill can unblock the body's apertures, granting the ability to communicate with heavenly and earthly spiritual energy—then she might really be embarking on cultivation!

However, Lin Meng didn't hold high hopes either; the idea of cultivating in the modern age sounds like a fantasy, and if others found out, they'd surely think she's crazy.

Moreover, although Ye Fan didn't say it outright, Lin Meng could tell that Aperture-Opening Pills are easy to obtain, but high-grade ones are extremely hard to come by.

Ordinary pills usually have pill toxicity; the Aperture-Opening Pills on the market are generally low quality—taking one can unblock apertures, but the side effects cannot be ignored.

Ye Fan wouldn't hand over inferior products to Lin Meng; this high-quality Aperture-Opening Pill will have to wait for an opportunity.

Lin Meng tossed and turned all night, only falling asleep at dawn.

After she slept enough and woke up, it was already approaching noon.

Thinking of Ye Fan from last night, Lin Meng hastily got up and went downstairs to buy food.

Inside the international upscale chain restaurant (that is, Shaxian), Lin Meng alone consumed twenty servings of chicken leg rice—she ate one, gave one to Ye Fan, and kept the remaining eighteen for Ye Heng.

Ye Fan seemed to already be cultivating, giving no response to Lin Meng's calls.

On the other hand, Ye Heng quickly responded to Lin Meng.

"Ye Heng, I'm leading my team to prepare another trip to Special Zone 13; this time I plan to purchase some equipment. The pork and chicken you gave need frozen storage—I want to bring back several large freezers."

As soon as Ye Heng finished speaking, several lunch boxes appeared in the space, and he couldn't help but lick his lips.

Lin Meng again packed him delicious food; this kind of food packed in takeout boxes is extraordinarily tasty—something they could never replicate by cooking themselves.

Although the ingredients Lin Meng gave them were each a delicacy fit for mortals.

But if compared, the food in the takeout boxes is definitely more delicious!

Lin Meng said:

"Just go ahead and handle it boldly—use supplies to trade for what you want to buy; if it's not enough, come find me. The eighteen packed servings of chicken leg rice are for you; distribute them as you see fit."

"By the way, these three boxes of things are also for you—I forgot to mention them last night."

"These are just common seasonings—salt, soy sauce, yellow wine, dark soy, etc. When cooking pork, you can add cooking wine to remove the smell; the rest you can research yourselves, and let me know when you run out—I'll buy more for you."

Upon hearing this, Ye Heng's eyes lit up—just moments ago he had been wondering how to make food as delicious as the lunch boxes, and Lin Meng immediately gave him a surprise.

Seasonings, too, are luxury goods in the Wasteland World!

His bargaining chips for trading in the special zone increased a bit!
