Cultivation Pet Shop

Chapter 812 Wasteland



When the white light disappeared and Lin Fan could see again, he found that he was currently standing in the middle of nowhere.

This was a place that he wasn’t familiar with, but he could tell that the concentration of life energy in the air was much greater than where he had been standing before.

There wasn’t much around him, there was just dirt and rocks. While there were a few patches of grass that were scattered around, most of the grass was yellow in colour and close to dying.

It was clear that whatever this place was, it wasn’t a place that was teeming with life. In fact, it almost looked like this place was close to dying…

The first thing that hit him was the stench that filled this place.

It wasn’t a pleasant smell, it was a smell that hit harder than an outhouse that hadn’t been cleaned.

It was clear by the dark puddles of water that were also in the surrounding area that this wasn’t a clean place either. However, this at least showed that there were signs of life in this area.

After all, he could tell that these puddles and the dying land were all created by the man made objects that were around. He hadn’t seen them earlier since they were hidden by the rocks, but after looking behind the rocks, he was able to see all kinds of trash behind them.

While Lin Fan was trying to understand where he had been sent, there was a sound that suddenly came from above him.

As this sound rang out, Lin Fan felt that the area around him had also turned dark. It was almost as if there were clouds in the sky that were blocking the sun above him.

Lin Fan looked up at the sky to see what it was, but all he saw were large black spots that were falling down. As they fell, they continued to grow larger and larger as they came closer to him.

It seemed like whatever these black spots were, they were going to fall down right where he was standing.

Lin Fan didn’t know what they were, but he definitely didn’t want to be crushed by them. So without any hesitation, he dodged to the side, running towards an area that didn’t have a shadow covering it.

He was able to make it just in time as the large black spots suddenly fell where he had been standing previously, creating a large storm of dust.

It took a while for the dust to settle, but when it did, Lin Fan was able to see the true form of the black spot that had just fallen on him.

It was a large piece of rubble that seemed to have come from a large building, but based on the condition of it, the building should have been destroyed by something. However, it wasn’t just this rubble that fell down from above.

It was also a bunch of other things that were all in black trash bags that Lin Fan couldn’t see clearly.

As he stood there with a confused look on his face, he suddenly noticed the presence of people around him.

He immediately raised his guard, but then he saw what these people looked like.

All of them were covered in dirt and most of them didn’t even have clothes to cover their bodies. They just had rags on them that covered up their important parts.

When he turned to look at them, these people stopped moving forward and started cowering.

Lin Fan could tell that none of these people were in the Soul Realm, so it was normal for them to cower like this.

So he raised his hand and said, “I mean no harm, I was just thrown here by someone and I’m trying to figure out what’s happening.”

As soon as he said this, the people all looked at each other before rushing forward. They didn’t charge at him, but rather the garbage that was behind him.

They jumped into the piles of garbage and started tearing into the black bags, scavenging through them for anything useful.

When they did, Lin Fan felt a wave of stench hitting him. This was a smell that was worse than anything that he had smelled before and he couldn’t help taking a few steps back away from the piles of garbage.

However, the people currently diving through the garbage didn’t mind that stench at all. Instead, some revealed happy looks and some revealed sad looks as they found things that they were happy about and sad about in the trash.

Lin Fan felt a bit of disgust seeing all of this, but he chose not to judge them.

After all, he could see what the situation of the surrounding area was. To live in this place, this was most likely the only source of sustenance for these people, even if it was disgusting…

Plus, he needed information from them, the only people that he had met in this place, so he had no choice but to wait until they were finished.

But it really was disgusting seeing some of the things that they discovered.

Even when they found a piece of meat that had maggots in it, they carefully cut out the parts that weren’t rotten and held onto them like treasures…It seemed that living in this place really wasn’t easy…

After most of the bags had been dug through, the people started to leave with their disgusting gains.

Lin Fan had been watching them the entire time and had been looking for a person to talk to. After all, these people were clearly desperate and desperate people could be dangerous, so he had to be careful who he talked to.

In the end, he chose an old man and a little girl.

While the others had been fighting each other for things, these two had been secretly moving in between them and taking things without them noticing. He was able to tell that this old man wasn’t a normal old man, especially with the aura that he had.

This old man was in the Soul Realm unlike the rest of the people here.

He had relied on his cultivation to sneak in after everyone else came and had secretly stolen from them.

However, he didn’t steal from anyone who looked like they really needed these items. He only stole from those that bullied others and used physical force to get what they wanted.

So Lin Fan could tell that the moral character of this old man was quite good.

When the old man saw Lin Fan approaching, his first instinct was to raise his hand to protect the little girl as he warily looked at Lin Fan.

Lin Fan knew what he was thinking, so he raised his hands and said, “I don’t want any trouble. I just want some information and you seem like the best person to get it from. After all, if I talked to those other people…”

Lin Fan didn’t finish his sentence, but the meaning that he was implying was clear.

The old man looked at the others before giving a nod and letting his guard down a bit, but he didn’t fully let down his guard. Instead of saying something, he raised his hands out towards Lin Fan as if he was requesting something.

Lin Fan revealed a faint smile and then with a wave of his hand, he pulled out a small spirit stone.

The old man looked at the spirit stone in disdain before shaking his head.

Lin Fan was surprised to see this, but after thinking about it, he found that it made sense.

These people were fighting over garbage just to survive, they clearly didn’t have a need for spirits stones. Even if they had spirit stones, they wouldn’t be able to exchange it for anything.

As for using spirit stones to increase their cultivation, this little spirit stone was far from being enough.

What they preferred to get was…

With this thought in mind, Lin Fan waved his hand and put the spirit stone away before taking out a shiny red apple.

Lin Fan had been prepared for situations like this since he never knew what would happen. He had taken to preparing food just in case he had ever gotten stranded.

Seeing the red apple, both the old man and the little girl licked their lips, but the old man stopped the little girl from going forward. He looked at Lin Fan and waved his hand, as if he was telling Lin Fan to throw it over.𝑶𝒱𝓵xt.𝗇𝓔t

Lin Fan didn’t hesitate to throw it to the old man.

He knew that to gain trust, sometimes he had to take the first step. So he decided to trust his judgement of this old man’s moral character.

After catching the red apple, the old man licked his lips before turning to the little girl.

After hesitating a bit, he put the apple in the little girl’s hand and gestured for her to eat it.

The little girl looked at the red apple with a longing look, but then she shook her head and pushed it back while saying, “Grandpa, you should eat it. You haven’t eaten in a long time because you keep giving me all your food.”

The old man shook his head with a smile and raised his arm to pose, as if he was saying that he was still plenty strong before putting the apple in the little girl’s hands and patting her head.

Lin Fan couldn’t help shaking his head with a smile when he saw this.

It was almost as if he was the bad guy here, especially with how the little girl was looking at him with a pitiful look.

So he took out another apple and said, “I have more if you want more.”

As he said this, the little girl’s face lit up and she said, “Thank you, big brother!”
