Chapter 1861  The Land of The Dead (3)

The slender man's face was filled with nostalgia as he spoke. He shook his head with a sigh and glanced at Yun Lintian. "Do you have something to eat?"

Yun Lintian handed him the half-black steamed bun he got from Xu Mei earlier. "I just arrived today. This is all I have."

The slender man didn't refuse it. He grabbed the bun and swallowed it whole in one bite.

"You just arrived today, and you're willing to share your food with me? I really don't know if you are ignorant or stupid." The man chuckled.

The man wiped his mouth and continued speaking. "Since you gave me something, I shall return your kindness. I will teach you one thing. Do not share your food with anyone if you don't want to die. Aside from the money, food is the most important thing here."

Yun Lintian smiled as he asked. "What is your name, brother?"

"Zhao Ming." The man answered truthfully.

"My name is Lin Yun, and this is my younger brother, Lin Xuan." Yun Lintian introduced himself. "I would like to learn more about the Netherworld. Can you help me, Brother Zhao?"

Zhao Ming gazed at Yun Lintian with a peculiar expression. "Are you planning to leave?"

Yun Lintian shook his head. "I just want to learn about it. This information can be useful in the future."

Yun Lintian spoke to Zhao Ming because this person was the strongest here. He could see that Zhao Ming was at least a Divine Ascending Tribulation Realm's practitioner before he died. And now, he had reached the peak of the Heaven Profound Realm in his spiritual form.

"Then you should stay here and never leave. Trust me. You don't want to leave town." Zhao Ming smiled faintly. He waved his hand and said. "You can go back."

Yun Lintian frowned slightly, but he didn't press for more information. He nodded and replied. "I'll come back later."

With that, he turned around and continued to stroll down the street.

Zhao Ming stared at Yun Lintian's back and muttered to himself. "Strange. He is clearly at the Spirit Profound Realm, but why do I feel oppressed by him?"

He shook his head and sighed. "Forget it. There are countless ghosts in the world. It's not as if he is the only special one."

Yun Lintian strolled around the town for an hour before heading back to Xu Mei's house. Along the way, he discovered many things. For example, the town had no guards, and the people here lived their lives as if they were ordinary humans. There had been no conflict so far.

If it weren't for their appearance, Yun Lintian couldn't distinguish between a ghost town here and a human town in the Divine Realm.

Furthermore, Yun Lintian didn't observe anyone practicing or attempting to improve their strength. They seemed to have accepted their fate completely.

"You are back. How is it?" Xu Mei walked over with a hoe in her hand. She had just finished plowing the land behind her cottage.

"It's no different from the town in the human world." Yun Lintian replied gently.

"Yes." Xu Mei explained. "It didn't look like this when I first arrived. Everyone here was either fleeing from war or seeking a way to live. We were fortunate to encounter the Flower Ghost Queen. She allowed us to establish a town here and farm in peace."

"It seems that she is really kind." Yun Lintian commented.

Xu Mei placed the hoe against the wall and said. "Compared to the others, she is incredibly kind. If you go out one day, you will understand what I mean. I can confidently say that our wandering ghost town may not be the wealthiest, but it is certainly the most peaceful town in the entire southern region."

She washed her illusory hand and asked. "You must be hungry. Do you want to eat something?"

Yun Lintian shook his head. "Not yet, Sister Xu."

He glanced at a bag of seeds and said. "Can I take a look at it?… In fact, I am a doctor. Although I don't know much about farming, I have a profound understanding of plants. Maybe I can improve the quality of these seeds."

"Are you a doctor?" Xu Mei was surprised. "Sure. You can look at it as much as you want."

Yun Lintian opened the bag and grabbed a handful of wheat kernels. He carefully examined the kernels and found that the aura of death had already taken over more than ninety percent of them. It was the main reason they couldn't grow well.

Yun Lintian lowered his head, deep in thought. He could simply use the light energy to dispel the aura of death directly, but it would attract too much attention. He must come up with an alternative solution.

Gui Xuan had nothing to do. He found a boulder to sit on and gazed at the sky in a daze.

"You don't have to push yourself too hard." Xu Mei said as she brought over a tray of steamed buns and cups of water. She called Gui Xuan over and handed him the bun.

Gui Xuan stared curiously at the black bun before taking a bite.

"Pooh!" Gui Xuan immediately spat out the bun and threw it away with a look of disgust. "Not delicious."

Xu Mei looked at Gui Xuan with puzzlement. "Didn't you eat it not long ago?"

Yun Lintian came back to his senses and gave Gui Xuan a wry smile. The little guy caused him trouble again.

"I'm sorry, Sister Xu. My younger brother has a problem with his head. Sometimes, he can't remember anything except me and his name." Yun Lintian smiled apologetically as he explained.

"I see." Xu Mei gave Gui Xuan a sympathetic glance. "Poor child."

Yun Lintian picked up Gui Xuan and intended to tell him something, but he gave up in the end. It was pointless to talk to him.

Yun Lintian picked up the steamed bun and took a bite out of it. Although the taste wasn't great, it wasn't so bad that it was inedible.

He looked at Xu Mei and said. "Do we have a spiritual stone here, Sister Xu?"

"Spiritual stone? What do you need it for?" Xu Mei asked curiously.

"The seeds have been contaminated by the aura of death. I have a solution to eliminate it. However, it required at least two spiritual stones." Yun Lintian spoke.

"What!? Is it true?" Xu Mei was shocked.

"Yes." Yun Lintian smiled confidently.
