In the surveillance footage, shimmering wheat is being manipulated by a man using his Gang Qi to grind it into piles of white flour.

Then another man activated his Gang Qi, compressing the flour into blocks, which were piled up like bricks.

"They're actually processing flour here?" Zhang Yu thought to himself. "Although I don't know what kind it is, it seems that, like the Heaven Essence Rice, this flour is no ordinary product."

Fu Ji, through the power of the Ritual, also witnessed this scene and thought to herself, "Is this the design they're shipping in? Hmm, it certainly saves more space and is easier to transport!"

The five words "Dark Planting Realm" kept flashing through Zhang Yu's mind!

The Dark Planting Realm —this was Zhang Yu's first day at Ten Thousand Laws University City, and Zhang Pianpian had warned her younger brother that this was a dark territory he absolutely must not dabble in!

After living in the University City for nearly a year, Zhang Yu understood very well that farming here was a dangerous act that seriously violated school rules and the law. Once caught, it would mean losing everything and being drained of every last drop of blood and soul!

"They seem to do more than just process flour!"

"They wouldn't still be farming here, would they?"

"Absolutely outrageous!"

However, the more Zhang Yu thought about it, the more likely it seemed. After all, Huilong Garden was built on Spirit Vein, which contained abundant Spiritual Energy, making it a very suitable place for farming!

He then thought of the Cemetery renovation project and wondered, "Could the destruction of this Cemetery also be related to the Dark Planting Realm?"

Fu Ji agreed, "That's quite possible. After all, farmers risk their lives; murder and silencing witnesses are commonplace for them!"

"It's not surprising that they resisted fiercely when they were being arrested; they would rather die than be captured. It's also normal that they damaged the Cemetery during the fight!"

Zhang Yu stared at the bricks of flour on the monitor screen, his expression shifting, his brows sometimes relaxing, sometimes furrowing, his eyes filled with hesitation and reluctance!

Fu Ji seemed to sense Zhang Yu's inner turmoil and asked, "What? You want to steal this shipment?"

Zhang Yu replied matter-of-factly, "In the University City, who wouldn't be tempted by so much flour? But... I'm just worried it might be too dangerous!"

Looking at the flour on the surveillance screen, Zhang Yu thought about the days when he had food to eat every day, and his mouth felt like it was about to water uncontrollably!

"What kind of reward is there for reporting it?"

"But how should I explain how I discovered it?"

"I discovered it through Ritual Power, which is a bit hard to explain!"

Over the next two days, Zhang Yu would occasionally check the flour processing through the surveillance camera, weighing his options and wondering what he should do.

Fu Ji said, "We still lack too much information. We don't know how many people there are, how strong they are, what to do with the flour once we get our hands on it, or what the consequences of reporting it will be!"

"Why don't you... talk to your Elder Sister about it?"

"She's probably with the University City Patrol Team now, right? She definitely knows more about the Dark Planting Realm than we do!"

"Just ask her, 'You found flour on the construction site,' and see what she says!"

Zhang Yu felt that what Fu Ji said made a lot of sense, and it seemed that he could discuss this matter with Zhang Pianpian!

So that night, while Yu Xinghan and Le Mulan were both away, Zhang Yu placed the white powder he had picked up in front of Zhang Pianpian!

Zhang Yu said, "Sis, do you think this is flour?"

Zhang Pianpian glanced at it curiously, dipped her finger in the flour, licked it slightly, and then exclaimed in surprise, "It really is flour, 99% pure Earth Qi Wheat!"

Zhang Yu asked in confusion, "What does 99% purity mean?"

Zhang Pianpian explained, "Flour from its place of origin is generally over 99% pure, with very few impurities!"

"But after they're distributed, the sellers will add ingredients to them to make more money before selling them!"

"Those with a conscience might add some medicine powder, add some cement!"

"The more unscrupulous ones... then they'll have everything."

"Generally speaking, the best quality goods are those that end up being sold to individual customers and have a purity of over 50%!"

Hearing Zhang Pianpian recount the details with such familiarity, Zhang Yu secretly thought to himself that he hadn't asked the wrong person!

Zhang Pianpian then asked, "Where did you find this flour?"

Upon hearing Zhang Yu say it was the construction site of Huilong Garden, Zhang Pianpian immediately said, "Take me to the site!"

Thanks to Zhang Pianpian Pianpian's swift and decisive actions, the two arrived at the Cemetery construction site in no time!

"Brother, if we manage to catch those people from the Dark Planting Realm this time, you'll have done me a huge favor!"

"Once I've apprehended these depraved individuals who dare to farm in the University City, I'll thank you properly!"

With a light tap of her fingertip, Zhang Pianpian displayed a virtual Talisman Book before her in the form of Spirit Realm Projection!

As Zhang Pianpian's fingertips rapidly swept across the virtual Talisman Book, an invisible wave radiated outwards from her in all directions!

The Dharma Eye Talisman were activated one by one.

Zhang Pianpian's eyes flickered slightly, and the next moment... the scene that Zhang Yu had seen was now appearing in Zhang Pianpian's eyes!

With the activation of the Dharma Eye Talisman, Zhang Pianpian was able to directly obtain the vision of others' eyes and observe the world through their eyes!

As she activated the Eye of Dharma Eye Talisman, Zhang Pianpian briefly explained to Zhang Yu, then said, "Forcibly intruding into someone else's eyes with the Dharma Eye Talisman is considered impolite. You must never use it; it'll be very troublesome if someone discovers it!"

"It's more than just impolite, it's illegal!"

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Besides, how would I know how to do this?"

Zhang Pianpian continued, "However, the Talisman Arts I'm going to use today are all my own modified versions. Although they involve Divine Power, they won't be easily recorded by the Spirit Realm Network, and therefore won't attract normal attention!"

"So from now on, don't record what happens, and don't spread it around!"

As she spoke, more images flashed through Zhang Pianpian's eyes!

It was the vision of those extremists processing flour in the secret passage!

Looking at the bricks of flour in front of these people, Zhang Pianpian was first delighted, then shocked!

Zhang Yu, who had been observing his Elder Sister's expression, asked, "Sis, what did you discover?"

Zhang Pianpian said solemnly, "There are indeed people from the Dark Planting Realm processing flour here, and in very large quantities. I'm afraid I can't handle it all by myself..."

Zhang Yu was also taken aback upon hearing this and said, "You can't handle it either? Then shouldn't you call some colleagues from the Patrol Team?"

Zhang Pianpian said, "What I mean is, I can't possibly handle this entire shipment by myself!"

Zhang Yu: "Huh?"

He thought to himself, "No... you didn't come here to arrest someone?"

Zhang Pian explained, "If it's just minor trouble, we can just arrest them!"

"But this time the quantity is quite large. We arrested people and handed over some of it, and we kept the rest for ourselves!"

Zhang Pianpian glanced at Zhang Yu beside her and said, "Little brother, I'm going to teach you another lesson today!"

"In Kunxu, you can't be too adventurous, but you can't avoid risks altogether either!"

"Being too risky, constantly putting yourself in danger, and always taking risks to seek excessive profits will inevitably lead to a crash and burn!"

"But to expect to climb the ladder without taking any risks and simply work honestly is a pipe dream!"

As she spoke, Zhang Pianpian's fingertips moved rapidly again, and the Surveillance Talisman was activated, bringing all the surveillance cameras she saw through the other party's eyes under her control!

Then, he activated the Dharma Eye Talisman again through the surveillance camera, taking in the eyes of everyone else in the frame!

By switching back and forth between the Dharma Eye Talisman and the Surveillance Talisman, Zhang Pianpian had completely taken control of this dark farming den in the blink of an eye!

Dozens of images flashed through her mind as she observed the situation inside the hideout, and she said, "No problem!"

"I've been monitoring their cameras and their eyes. Over the next two days, I'll observe their personnel and schedule to formulate a plan to strike!"

"But it's a bit troublesome for just the two of us to suppress this group and transport the goods out at the same time!"

Zhang Yu thought to himself: No, I've been captured and dragged here?

Zhang Yu couldn't help but ask, "Sis, didn't you tell me before to stay away from the Dark Planting Realm?"

Zhang Pianpian said calmly, "I'm telling you not to go farming!"

"But arresting or seizing farmers is no problem!"

With Zhang Pianpian leading the way in the shopping spree, Zhang Yu suddenly felt much more confident!

Zhang Pianpian asked, "What do you think of Yu Xinghan and Le Mulan? Are they reliable?"

Zhang Yu's eyes lit up. "You want to recruit them?"

Zhang Pianpian said, "I checked their chat history and browsing history! Although there are some parts I don't quite understand, overall, I feel they're fairly trustworthy. What do you think?"

Zhang Yu's heart sank upon hearing this. "No... Elder Sister, you didn't check my browsing history too, did you?"

Zhang Yu ultimately didn't ask that question, but instead said, "They're all people I'm close to who would lend me money, so it should be fine!"

Zhang Pianpian said, "Then go back and test them!"

"I monitor their communication records!"

"If neither of them leaked the information, we'll prepare tomorrow and make our move the day after!"

Ten Thousand Laws University City!

Below the 100th Layer, in a hidden alleyway without surveillance cameras, making it even harder for anyone to spot!

"Sis, what do you think?"

"Hmm, a little harder!"

"Alright!" Yu Xinghan wiped the sweat from his forehead and continued to massage vigorously!

Just then, a message flickered in his eyes!

Zhang Yu: Lao Han, I need to discuss something with you. When are you coming back?

Yu Xinghan: I'm busy, I'm not going back today!

Zhang Yu: It's a very important thing; it can make money.

Just as Yu Xinghan hesitated, the woman's voice rang out. "Don't stop! I'm feeling really comfortable!"

Yu Xinghan quickly continued working, then replied: Is it higher than 0.06 Spirit Coin?

Zhang Yu: Higher than this.

Yu Xinghan: Wait for me.
