Thinking about the large garbage bin in his basement, Lin Wan's smile was quite mischievous.

He further compressed the spiritual energy before him into a small energy ball that would hurt if thrown, Lin Wan grabbed this energy ball and, with a cold smile, threw it towards Luo Zixuan.

Haha, let’s see you annoy me, you stink!

Seeing Luo Zixuan get hit by the energy ball, looking completely confused, Lin Wan withdrew his gaze with satisfaction.

Hmph, living under someone else's roof means you should be aware of your place.

As someone without any personal information—like an ID card or household registration—Luo Zixuan was still Lin Wan's archrival in the cultivation world. Just taking him in was already a sign of great kindness.

If he doesn’t behave, he won’t even get any soul-replenishing pills; I’ll just kick him out!

After "cursing" Luo Zixuan in his heart, Lin Wan felt much better.

Sitting cross-legged on the lush spiritual grass, Lin Wan hugged a spirit plant that rushed over and began to pinch its leaves while contemplating his future path.

Using the bathroom to enter the space wasn’t a long-term solution. Over time, it would attract too much attention.

“Wow! Someone is actually sleeping in a public restroom!” Lin Wan thought he really didn’t want to find out.

But if he didn’t come in through the public restroom, he needed money!

Recalling the mere fifty cents in his pocket, Lin Wan buried his head in the spirit plant he was hugging, feeling sad.

Sigh, after school tomorrow, I’ll go find a part-time job at the snack street behind the school…

Once a big shot, now a pitiful Lin Wan thought bitterly.

Meanwhile, in the basement of the little cabin, Luo Zixuan looked at the energy ball Lin Wan had just thrown in, and his eyes grew slightly misty.

His partner really did care about him! Afraid he would have a hard time cultivating inside, he specially sent in such a large ball of pure spiritual energy!

Although Luo Zixuan might be a bit dim-witted, his strength hadn't diminished. His five senses remained terrifyingly sharp.

So Luo Zixuan keenly noticed that within this ball of pure spiritual energy, there was a faint trace of his partner’s aura mixed in.

Was his partner worried he would feel lonely here and deliberately sent in a breath of aura?!

His ears flushed with embarrassment, and Luo Zixuan felt guilty thinking,

His partner was so good to him, yet he had still managed to anger him so much. It was truly unacceptable!

Although Luo Zixuan still didn’t quite understand what he had done wrong, it didn’t prevent him from having a positive attitude toward admitting his mistake.

He pondered a bit in his mind, and decided that when Lin Wan came over next time, he would give his partner a big surprise.

His partner would definitely be very happy to see his gift!

Excited, Luo Zixuan began to prepare in the small black room, feeling oddly confident.

Outside the little black room, Lin Wan, holding the spirit plant in his arms, unintentionally fell asleep while he was deep in thought.

After he fell asleep, the entire space quieted down.

The light in the space softened, the clouds above gathered automatically, casting a shadow over the sleeping youth's face.

This was the beloved boy cherished by the entire space.

The sounds of wind, flowing water, and animal calls... all the noises in the space gradually quieted down. The entire space created a comfortable sleeping environment for their slumbering young master.

Time flowed continuously in sweet dreams.

After an unknown period, the previously tranquil space began to stir back to its usual clamor.

The moment the space became lively again, Lin Wan opened his drowsy eyes, yawning as he pulled a tattered watch from his pocket to check the time.

“Hmm... six o'clock, still early.”

Lin Wan stood up and stretched, looking at the diligent spirit plants and spirit beasts working in the space, satisfied as he withdrew his gaze and walked to the Fire Spirit Fruit tree to pick a fruit.

Biting through the fruit skin, the flesh of the Fire Spirit Fruit instantly transformed into juice, flowing down Lin Wan's throat and warming his body.

After finishing a Fire Spirit Fruit, Lin Wan frowned and began to pick the second one.

It wasn't that he disliked the taste of the Fire Spirit Fruit; it was just that he had eaten far too many of them before.

Over the long span of several hundred years, Lin Wan had become tired of the various spirit fruits in his space. Now, forced by life to start munching on fruits again, Lin Wan felt utterly dejected.

Sitting in his precious spirit herb field worth a fortune, the impoverished Lin Wan's eyes were filled with tears of melancholy.

Earning money was just so difficult!

…………

At the same time, facing the morning light, a black business car entered the territory of Lin'an City.

In the back seat of the car, Xu Shan, who had been meditating all night, awoke from her cultivation.

She looked at Xia Wenzhuo, who had played games all night and had dark circles under his eyes, and helplessly said, "Alright, stop playing. You've been at it all night. Can't you spend some time cultivating? Otherwise, Auntie will start nagging you again."

Seeing Xia Wenzhuo's unresponsive expression, Xu Shan shrugged and told the driver, "Don’t rush to that place yet; let's grab some breakfast first. I want to eat steamed buns."

"Miss, I need a specific address from you. This is my first time here, and I don't know where the best buns are..." the driver said helplessly.

"Um, wait a moment. Let me figure out where the good buns are."

Upon hearing this, Xu Shan had the driver pull over and took out three coins from her pocket, casually tossing them onto the car seat.

Sigh, he was only three months younger than his cousin, but she had already mastered the art of divination, while he was still just a novice in the cultivation world...

Under Xia Wenzhuo's envious gaze, Xu Shan tossed the coins six times. Afterward, she collected the coins and smiled at the driver as she announced an address.

“Let’s go here! The divination indicates that the buns there not only taste good but we might also encounter something special.”

“Got it!”

The driver was evidently accustomed to Xu Shan’s method of divination. Without further questions, he input the address into the navigation system and turned the steering wheel toward the destination.

“Sis, what do you think we might encounter? Could it be an unclaimed divine artifact?” Xia Wenzhuo's curiosity was piqued by Xu Shan's words, and he leaned closer to her.

“You only call me ‘sister’ when you want something.”

Xu Shan elegantly rolled her eyes and replied, “How would I know? You’ll find out when we get there. But I suggest you don’t get your hopes up; after all, dreaming too much can make you foolish.”

Having long been accustomed to his cousin’s disdain, Xia Wenzhuo simply shrugged it off.

He touched his nose, still harboring fantasies.

“Isn’t there a chance? What if we really stumble upon something?”

In the midst of Xia Wenzhuo's anticipation and Xu Shan’s dismissive attitude, the business car finally arrived at their destination.

“Hurry up and buy the buns! I want meat buns, eight of them!” Xu Shan recalled the deliciousness of the buns, gulped, and said with sparkling eyes.

How could she eat more than I do...

Xia Wenzhuo silently muttered to himself. However, since Xu Shan was the helper he had invited, he resigned himself to his fate and got out of the car, heading toward the small food cart surrounded by a crowd a few meters away.

“Are these buns really that delicious? So many people are buying them...”

As Xia Wenzhuo quietly questioned while smelling the enticing aroma of the buns, he swallowed and squeezed his way through the crowd.

He even secretly used a lightness technique, and after some effort, Xia Wenzhuo finally squeezed through the crowd to the food cart, despite the angry stares from the people around.

“Hello, I’d like eighteen meat buns... What the heck!!!”

Moments later, Xia Wenzhuo returned to the business car empty-handed, looking dazed.

Faced with Xu Shan’s questioning gaze, he suddenly snapped to attention.

He rushed forward and grabbed Xu Shan's hand, exclaiming loudly just before he could be scolded, “Sister, we really found something!”

Excitedly swallowing, Xia Wenzhuo lowered his voice and continued to shout in a whisper, “Oh my gosh, sis, that little food cart has a wealth accumulation array! You don’t know how perfectly drawn that array is! It’s simply exquisite! We absolutely have to buy that food cart! Having such a perfect wealth accumulation array etched on that shabby cart is a disgrace!”

After a pause, Xia Wenzhuo firmly concluded, “Sis, we have to get it! That array doesn’t belong on a shabby food cart; it’s a huge insult! This wealth accumulation array is a heavenly opportunity for us!”
