Going to See the Pretty Girls

After slowly finishing his morning exercises, Chen Mo didn't go out. Instead, he first cast a Cleansing Technique on himself, which made him feel much more refreshed. Then, he used his Spiritual Sense to enter the Universe Bead.

He had finished planting all the vegetable seeds yesterday. Because of his Spiritual Sense, he used Incantations to operate and plant within the Universe Bead, so it was relatively easy.

When he saw the planted vegetables, he was pleasantly surprised. Not only had all the soaked seeds sprouted, but some had already grown into seedlings a palm long. He really hadn't expected this; the stream water was so effective for plants.

The unsoaked seeds hadn't sprouted. To check the situation, Chen Mo went to the unsoaked area and dug up some of the planted seeds to examine them.

These unsoaked seeds had already started to show signs of emerging from the soil. If another day passed, they might sprout and break through the surface. It seemed that soaking seeds in stream water would save time in the future when planting.

Then, in the designated areas, he applied a time acceleration function to some soaked and unsoaked seeds. He also systematically marked the time multipliers within the accelerated zones, ranging from 2x to 10x, so that he could understand the specific results later.

Afterward, he used an Incantation to draw stream water under his control and watered all the planting areas.

He was busy like this for several days, constantly experimenting with the land inside the Universe Bead. During this time, he bought more bees, as plants needed bees for pollination to bear fruit. Of course, he bought complete sets of beehives and honey extraction tools, two sets in total.

A little over a week later, Chen Mo could already eat the vegetables he had grown. He still vividly remembered the first time he ate his own vegetables; the taste was absolutely fantastic. Whether it was the vegetables from the accelerated zones or the ordinary areas, they all matured and began to bear fruit within just seven days. The accelerated zones were, of course, incredibly fast. The plants in the ordinary areas also broke conventional norms, maturing in just seven days.

As for the three special seeds, they had only sprouted, and it was still unclear what kind of plants they were.

In terms of taste, there was no difference; they were all similar. However, the taste of the vegetables was far superior to those bought from the markets outside. Even some organic vegetables didn't taste as good as the ones from the Universe Bead. Take ordinary tomatoes, for example; they were not only large but also uniformly red, with a perfect sweet and sour taste, and a rich, fresh plant aroma. Most importantly, after eating them, he felt a warm, gentle energy circulating throughout his body, making him feel very comfortable.

Chen Mo knew this feeling was due to Spiritual Energy. Therefore, he understood that these cultivated plants could not be sold. If someone with ill intentions discovered them, he would be in danger, as he was still quite weak. However, these vegetables could be shared with his family; they would be absolutely beneficial with no harm.

Moreover, while soaking the seeds, he also took the stream water outside and soaked some seeds separately for two hours before planting them in the garden of the small courtyard he rented. He wanted to see the experimental results of these vegetables.

These vegetables planted in the rented courtyard had all grown to about a palm's height after more than a week of growth. They couldn't compare to those in the Universe Bead, as the environment was vastly different. However, they still sprouted much faster than ordinary vegetables, and their growth rate and vigor were superior to conventionally grown vegetables. This was because Chen Mo had also directly planted the purchased vegetable seeds in the courtyard, and they had only shown tiny green sprouts so far.

In the past few days, Chen Mo's own cultivation had not stopped, and he had also learned several Incantations. However, he hadn't practiced drawing Talismans due to a lack of suitable tools and financial constraints. As for Formations, he decided to learn only a few, especially the Spirit Gathering Array, which he absolutely had to learn. This Formation could improve his cultivation speed and also alter the surrounding environment, making it pleasant within the array.

One day, just as he was about to cultivate, he received a call from Yuan Ruoshan. Chen Mo had to stop cultivating and go to meet this female police officer named Yuan Ruoshan. He was actually very curious about the state of cultivation in China, including the existence of Martial Arts Aristocratic Families.

They agreed to meet at a coffee shop. When Chen Mo arrived, Yuan Ruoshan was already waiting for him. It wasn't that he was late; it was just that she had a car, and he could only afford a taxi. People with no money were indeed at a disadvantage.

Looking at Yuan Ruoshan's youthful, beautiful face and her devilish figure, Chen Mo felt a surge of heat within him. However, with great willpower, he suppressed his desires. He was here to discuss matters, not to pick up girls. Moreover, the woman in front of him would definitely be too much for him to handle. He wondered what was happening to him; ever since he met the beautiful girl Yuan Ruoshan, his heart had been somewhat restless. Why was that?

"Order whatever you want to drink; I've already ordered," Yuan Ruoshan said directly without being polite. However, she noticed a fleeting look of desire in his eyes and frowned slightly before saying nothing. She knew her own appearance and how it had caused her a lot of trouble. This guy named Chen Mo was able to regain his composure so quickly, which was rare for a man other than her relatives. His character seemed okay, but he was still a bit of a rogue! Hmph!

Chen Mo was unaware of Yuan Ruoshan's assessment of him. Even if he knew, he couldn't say anything. It was human nature to fantasize when seeing beautiful things, but whether one could quickly regain composure, viewing it as mere scenery or with impure thoughts, depended on one's character.

He called the waiter and ordered a glass of lemon water. He wasn't used to coffee and rarely drank it before, so water was better. More importantly, he couldn't afford coffee. As a Cultivator, being reduced to this state in the secular world was quite pathetic.

"Your case is almost concluded. You just need to go to the Police Station to sign some papers and complete the procedure when you have time," Yuan Ruoshan said.

"Can the summons and restrictions be canceled then?" Chen Mo was still unclear about legal matters. It could be said that most people in China didn't know the procedures for police investigations, so he could only ask.

"Once you sign and complete the process, there will be no more restrictions," Yuan Ruoshan replied.

"What about that Brother Hai? How will he be dealt with?" Chen Mo asked.

"The Brother Hai you're referring to is named Ji Hai, a local. After treatment, he has been transferred to a regular ward, but his injuries are severe. He has extensive lacerations to the tendons, nerves, and blood vessels in his left wrist. After surgery, he can recover 30% to 40% of its function. His right wrist has blunt force trauma, with a comminuted fracture of the entire wrist joint, as well as extensive damage to tendons and nerves. After treatment, he can only recover 20% of its function. It can be said that both his hands are ruined. Did you do it on purpose?" Yuan Ruoshan asked.

"That's impossible. I would never intentionally injure someone!" Chen Mo denied. How could such a thing be intentional? It was definitely an accident! Yes, it was an accident.
