Ji Zhi was once a student at Ten Thousand Laws University.

After graduation, he joined a pharmaceutical company, where he was responsible for the cultivation and planting of medicinal herbs.

With his outstanding professional skills and hard-working spirit, he outmaneuvered his predecessors and took charge of a large medicinal herb planting area all by himself.

His salary kept increasing, and so did the apartment he rented.

He gradually switched from taking high-end pills to using premium brands, and his Dharma Skeleton were also replaced one by one with high-end items.

He was able to eat a bite of meat every month, and occasionally he could listen to a Nascent Soul True Lord's guidance lesson!

He no longer uses the Magnetic Channel to enter and exit; instead, he walks in the Anti-Gravity Channel!

Just when Ji Zhi thought he would gradually become richer and richer and his life would get better and better, it seemed that God was playing a joke on him!

"The No. 18 Evil Qi is severely polluted; Sha Qi has seeped into your internal organs. You must undergo surgery immediately, otherwise you will lose your ability to work within a month at most!"

When Ji Zhi heard these words from the doctor, he felt dizzy and his mind went blank!

He later learned that the herbal medicines the company used contained a large amount of "No. 18 Evil Qi" in their raw materials!

This Sha Qi is a key element for the growth of the medicines he cultivates, but prolonged exposure is extremely harmful to the human body!

To raise enough money for the surgery, Ji Zhi took on a mountain of debt. After the surgery, he still needed to spend Spirit Coin every day for purification treatment of Sha Qi, a treatment that would last him until his death!

He wanted to change jobs, but found that with his work experience and professional skills, he couldn't find a job outside of medicinal plant cultivation!

A regular job that can afford the treatment costs!

He wanted compensation from the company, but the lengthy process and the buck-passing and shirking of responsibility by each department exhausted his patience!

He truly understood in his heart. "They are waiting for me to die!"

"Just like dealing with those victimized customers!"

Therefore, in order to cover medical expenses, Ji Zhi had no choice but to continue working at the company!

However, in order to reduce the harm of the Sha Qi pollution, Ji Zhi's work efficiency inevitably declined, and his salary and performance bonuses also decreased!

At that moment, Ji Zhi finally understood the way those seniors he had eliminated looked at him!

That wasn't jealousy or hatred; it was looking at his past self, just like he was looking at the college students who were about to eliminate him!

To fill the financial gap caused by the decline in income, Ji Zhi had no choice but to cut back on his spending!

His apartment building was on a lower and lower floor, and the Dharma Skeleton on his body were gradually replaced with cheaper ones. The drugs he took were mainly defective products manufactured by the company!

This caused his work performance to decline again, eventually landing him on the company's layoff list!

Without the company's income, Ji Zhi could only temporarily make a living by working temporary jobs, making it even more difficult to afford his medical expenses and debts.

Just when he was at his wit's end, Wheat Shadow Society found him and offered him a job planting Earth Qi Wheat!

This Immortal Dao wheat variety contains a strong essence of food, but it is not easy to cultivate and requires experts like Ji Zhi to cultivate it in large quantities!

At first, he just farmed, then he processed flour, and then, in order to increase his income, he took on tasks such as murder to cover up crimes and gang fights!

Later, in order to further increase the harvest of Earth Qi Wheat, he started a project to steal mortals to make blood pool fertilizer, turning mortals into his resources to prolong his life!

"This is Kunxu. In Kunxu, you have to eat people to make money and survive!"

"It's like the company is exploiting us, it's like we're exploiting ordinary people!"

And so, Ji Zhi lived a precarious existence in the Dark Planting Realm, risking his life day by day!

Even today!

Under the combined attack of Zhang Yu and the other two, Ji Zhi's murderous intent, like a mad doctor, surged forth continuously!

"If I were at my peak, how could I possibly be so suppressed by you?"

roar.

With a roar, the internal medicine in his two Dharma Skeleton automatically pierced in, and Ji Zhi's body expanded again. His violent Gang Qi poured out, carrying terrifying heat and pouring in all directions!

With his vision obscured by advertisements and his moves constantly blocked, Ji Zhi unleashed his full power of Blazing Sun Gang Qi, launching an all-around attack with a high-temperature field!

Zhang Pianpian warned, "He's going to destroy the goods; don't let him succeed!"

Zhang Yu: "I'll block him head-on!"

Feeling the intense heat rushing towards him, Zhang Yu was the first to step forward, joining forces with several humanoid figures and qi to restrain their opponent!

As their Gang Qi collided and their forces compressed, Zhang Yu felt as if he had caught hundreds of tons of concrete in one breath!

Yu Xinghan instantly learned and mastered the moves of everyone present using his Three-Eyed Divine Power. With a flash, he punched Ji Zhi's back, braving the scorching heat!

With a loud bang, accompanied by the explosion of Gang Qi, the Gang Qi that originally covered Ji Zhi's back was blasted open by Yu Xinghan, leaving a large hole!

As the Gang Qi rapidly rose and was about to mend itself, Zhang Pianpian clearly marked this spot in her Eye Remains and wrote two large golden characters, "From this..."

With the blessing of the deep-sealed magic veins, Le Mulan pointed a finger, and the Frost Magical Power mixed with the medicinal power in her body was sent into Ji Zhi's vest before the Gang Qi could be combined!

Ji Zhi was already in a state of explosive power, was stimulated by the drug, causing his blood vessels to expand and his heart to beat even more violently!

At the same time, Zhang Yu once again activated the Nine Heavens Cloud Void Force, and with his Humanoid Gang Qi suddenly embracing Ji Zhi, bursts of scorching Blazing Sun Gang Qi suddenly erupted!

"What?"

"My Blazing Sun Gang Qi?"

Ji Zhi's body temperature had already increased with the activation of Blazing Sun Gang Qi, and Zhang Yu's attack was like adding fuel to the fire, causing his body temperature to surge again!

The sudden increase in temperature accelerated the effects of the medicine in his body, and coupled with the violent beating of his heart, Ji Zhi felt a wave of dizziness!

But that wasn't all. Just after the Nine Heavens Cloud Void Force unleashed its Sun Gang Qi, Zhang Yu followed suit with a blast, pouring a terrifying chill into Ji Zhi's body!

Zhang Yu and Le Mulan's Frost Magical Power gathered within Ji Zhi's body and then erupted together!

The two forces, one burning and one freezing, clashed within Ji Zhi's body, causing some of his Qi and Blood to be accelerated wildly, while others were slowed down or even frozen, leading to a burst of energy in his meridians!

puff.

Ji Zhi suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, and his internal Gang Qi slightly dissipated. In an instant, his body was wide open, and Yu Xinghan seized the opportunity to hit him with several punches!

Zhang Yu and Le Mulan followed up in the next moment, unleashing a ferocious offensive that instantly engulfed Ji Zhi!

Just a few seconds later, Zhang Yu, Le Mulan, and Yu Xinghan all stopped what they were doing. Looking at An An now quiet hideout, they all breathed a sigh of relief!

It was impossible for the three of them not to be nervous after learning that they were going to fight against gangsters from the Dark Planting Realm!

After all, according to their understanding, these gang members were ruthless and vicious, killing without hesitation, and once they started fighting, it was a fight to the death!

If even one person were to slip through, it would be a huge problem! However, under Zhang Pianpian's guidance, this operation was a perfect example of knowing oneself and one's enemy. Not only did they choose the moment when the enemy's defenses were weakest, but they also maintained the upper hand from beginning to end!

"Don't be too happy yet!" Zhang Pianpian's voice rang in their ears. "The most important thing is yet to come!"

She walked in slowly, her gaze sweeping over the bricks of flour.

Because combat-type Talisman Arts are too easily detected by the Orthodox God, Zhang Pianpian did not attack directly, but chose to provide support from behind!

Looking at the flour bricks scattered all over the ground, Zhang Pianpian said, "We need to ship this batch of goods out!"

Yu Xinghan asked, "What should we do with the Earth Qi Wheat still planted in the ground?"

Besides the storage room where they were currently located, the entire hideout also included a planting room, where a considerable amount of Earth Qi Wheat was being grown!

Zhang Pianpian said, "The Earth Qi Wheat in the planting room can't be disturbed; it's too easy to spot problems there. Let the Clean-up Crew check it!"

"As for this batch of flour bricks," Zhang Fanpian estimated, "The market price is probably over 100 Spirit Market!"

Upon hearing these words, Zhang Yu, Yu Xinghan, Le Mulan all gasped for breath!

"This batch of bricks is worth about 100 Spirit Coin, which is enough for us to divide!"

Yu Xinghan couldn't help but say, "It's so valuable, and they only sent a Foundation Establishment cultivator to guard it? That's incredibly careless!"

Zhang Pianpian said calmly, "Normally there are two Foundation Establishment; we just chose a time when the other one wasn't there!"

"Moreover, no matter how many Foundation Establishment there are, it's meaningless against the Patrol Team. The key to the Dark Planting Realm is concealment. The secret passages here are well hidden, and their Dharma Skeleton and surveillance systems are not connected to the external network!"

"If Zhang Yu hadn't accidentally discovered the clue and I hadn't forcibly hacked into it, it probably could have operated smoothly for a long time!"

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "If it weren't for the Evil God's Ritual, I wouldn't be sure that the people from the Dark Farming Realm are here!"

Yu Xinghan dismounted, examined the artifacts on the corpses, and asked curiously, "They clearly have goods worth over 100 Spirit Coin, so why do their Dharma Skeleton look like cheap junk?"

"Those Qi Refining gang members also looked thin and weak, as if they hadn't eaten enough!"

Zhang Pianpian casually said, "Who told you that farming will guarantee you enough to eat? Do you think that just because they grow Earth Qi Wheat, they can afford to eat Earth Qi Wheat?"

"Besides, after these goods are sold, the lion's share goes to the higher-ups!"

"Given that they were able to set up this underground planting base in Huilong Garden, do you think there might be a mole within the Cemetery working with them? And that mole's position is probably quite high!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Xinghan's heart stirred slightly, and he said thoughtfully, "While some higher-ups are severely suppressing the Dark Planting Realm Dark Planting Realm, others are secretly supporting them and profiting from it."

Money?

Zhang Pianpian said, "Alright, stop wasting time, Zhang Yu, give me one-tenth of the goods!"

"One-tenth?"

Thinking that a 10% share would only amount to a little over 10 Spirit Market, Zhang Yu couldn't help but say, "10%!! Isn't that too little for us?"

Zhang Pianpian said calmly, "One-tenth is left here for the Patrol Team!"

"We'll eat the remaining 90%!"

Zhang Yu was startled by this and asked, "How do we get them out?"

"This is Cemetery!"

Zhang Fanpian said, "The simplest way, of course, is to transport it out as ashes!"
