He had thought Ye Lin would panic and eventually give him some benefits to keep him quiet.
Unexpectedly, after hearing Ye Lin's righteous words, Luo Sanpang couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
After seeing the Spirit Stone in the distance, which was clearly different from other Spirit Stones, he became even more flustered.
He had only taken office a month ago and knew nothing, so he just patrolled around to see if any Disciple was taking the opportunity to steal Spirit Stones. Half a month after taking office, he also discovered the unique Spirit Stone. Based on the principle that it was not a big deal, he did not bother with it.
But now, after hearing Ye Lin's words, he was at a loss.
Looking at Ye Lin's serious face, Luo Sanpang couldn't help but murmur to himself, "Is this guy telling the truth?"
Looking at Luo Sanpang, who was fidgeting in front of him, Ye Lin secretly chuckled.
This kid is clearly a novice, completely fooled by him.
"Are... are you telling the truth?"
At this moment, Luo Sanpang slowly approached Ye Lin and asked tentatively.
There was nothing he could do; seeing Ye Lin's serious demeanor, Luo Sanpang couldn't help but waver.
He had only gotten this Medicine Mountain manager position through connections, and he hadn't even settled in yet. If what Ye Lin said was true, not only would he lose his job, but he would also face extremely severe punishment.
If an entire field of Spirit Stones were ruined, their combined value wouldn't be enough even if he sold all his fat.
Seeing Luo Sanpang's reaction, Ye Lin breathed a sigh of relief.
He wavered, and that's good.
"Cough cough."
Then, Ye Lin, with a serious expression, cleared his throat before speaking.
"Of course, it's like Mortals planting potatoes in the soil. If one potato is rotten and ignored, it will eventually cause a chain reaction, and the surrounding potatoes will also rot."
"And the current situation of the medicine field is exactly the same as what I described. This Spirit Stone is clearly rotten. If it is not pulled out, it will cause the surrounding Spirit Stones to rot one after another."
"At that time, if the entire field of Spirit Stones is ruined, can you bear the consequences?"
"When I started Cultivating, I was also a Mortal and planted potatoes. Such a thing happened once: one potato rotted, and eventually all the potatoes rotted."
"Ultimately, during that snowy winter, my family starved for an entire winter, and I almost starved to death. Because of that incident, I deeply remembered it."
"So when I saw this Spirit Stone, it reminded me of that incident, and I couldn't help but want to pull it out immediately, which is when I ran into you."
After Ye Lin finished speaking, Luo Sanpang's face was filled with anxiety.
"I didn't expect it to be so serious. Damn it, I was negligent."
"Is it still not too late to pull it out now?"
Seeing Luo Sanpang's expression, Ye Lin secretly nodded.
This Fat Man was completely fooled by him; he successfully bamboozled him.
"Well, based on my many years of experience, there's still a chance to save it. As long as the mutated Spirit Stone is pulled out, it will be fine."
"Thank you, Junior Brother, for the reminder. Thank you, Junior Brother, for the reminder."
After speaking, Luo Sanpang stealthily took out a token, successfully entered the medicine field, and then pulled out the mutated Spirit Stone.
Seeing this, Ye Lin secretly thought he had been careless; he hadn't expected there to be a barrier at the edge of the medicine field and hadn't even noticed it.
"Junior Brother, this bad Spirit Stone has been pulled out. Everything should be fine now, right?"
Luo Sanpang held the Spirit Stone, his face full of excitement.
Ye Lin nodded faintly, then extended his palm.
"Junior Brother, what is this...?"
Looking at Ye Lin's outstretched palm, Luo Sanpang's face was full of confusion.
"Give me the Spirit Stone. I'll handle this rotten Spirit Stone for Senior Brother. If Senior Brother is found with this rotten Spirit Stone, your position as Medicine Mountain manager might not be secure."
"The Medicine Mountain manager is responsible for the growth of Spirit Stones on Medicine Mountain. If a Spirit Stone rots right under your nose, and someone finds out, tsk tsk tsk."
After Ye Lin finished speaking, Luo Sanpang's expression tightened.
Yes, if someone found the rotten Spirit Stone in his hand, then all his hard work to climb to this position, only to have been there for less than a month, would be for naught.
"Junior Brother, thank you, thank you. If it weren't for Junior Brother, Senior Brother would have been in trouble this time."
Luo Sanpang, with a look of relief, handed the Spirit Stone in his hand to Ye Lin, who calmly accepted it.
Then he extended his right hand, rubbing his thumb against his index finger.
"Junior Brother, what is this...?"
Seeing Ye Lin's action, Luo Sanpang scratched his head, full of confusion, not understanding.
"Senior Brother, I've resolved such a big crisis for you. Isn't it reasonable to ask for some compensation?"
Ye Lin smiled at Luo Sanpang.
"Oh, I understand, I understand. It's not too much, not too much. If it weren't for Junior Brother's timely reminder, I'm afraid I would have been in grave danger."
"Junior Brother, Senior Brother doesn't have many resources. Please take this; I hope Junior Brother won't dislike it."
After Ye Lin finished speaking, Luo Sanpang patted his head, his face full of sudden realization, and then took out a Storage Pouch from his bosom.
From within the Storage Pouch, he respectfully took out ten Mid-Grade Spirit Stones and handed them to Ye Lin.
Ye Lin calmly accepted them, then instructed.
"Senior Brother, fortunately, I was here this time. From now on, you must be more diligent. If such a thing happens again, there won't be someone as kind as me next time."
"Thank you, Junior Brother, for the reminder. I will patrol the medicine field day and night and will not be negligent in the slightest."
"Good, that's good. Senior Brother, I'll take my leave first. I need to go and deal with this rotten Spirit Stone."
After Ye Lin finished speaking, he turned and flew into the sky, disappearing into the clouds.
"Junior Brother, take care. Next time you come, Senior Brother will definitely treat you."
Watching Ye Lin disappear, Luo Sanpang excitedly waved his right arm.
Then he stroked his chin in thought.
He felt that something was wrong, but what exactly was wrong?
Strange.
On the other side, in the sky, Ye Lin put the Spirit Stone and Spirit Stones into his space ring, his face full of smiles.
Done.
"Oh, right, since I entered Nameless Mountain until now, I haven't claimed any resources yet."
While flying, Ye Lin suddenly remembered a big matter.
That was, since entering the sect until now, he had not claimed any resources.
With so many days of not claiming them, the accumulated resources must not be a small sum.
"I've been plundering resources so much that I forgot about the resources I should have."
Ye Lin patted his head, then turned and headed towards the Outer Sect office.
All resources are claimed at the office.
When he arrived at the office, the Disciples there were lined up in a long queue, all there to claim resources.
As Ye Lin stood behind a Disciple, waiting, a voice interrupted his thoughts.
"It's you? Damn it, I finally found you."
Hearing this, Ye Lin turned to look.
He saw Wang Wu, his face full of anger, pointing at him.
"Damn it, do you know how long I've been looking for you? I can't believe I ran into you today. If you don't break a pair of legs today, I'll write my name 'Wang' backward."
After speaking, Wang Wu didn't hesitate at all and pulled out the long saber from behind him.
Since their last parting, he had never been able to let go of that matter.
So he had been searching for Ye Lin's whereabouts in the Outer Sect of Nameless Mountain, but he couldn't find him.
