Chapter 143 Purification Again
Chapter 143 Purification Again
Back in her space, Lin Shushu used the freshly picked mushrooms and the ingredients already in the space to cook a sumptuous meal.
The two ate to their hearts' content, and Lin Shushu couldn't help but sigh that she was ultimately just an ordinary person who couldn't resist the urge to eat.
Knowing her troubles, Mo Ze comforted her, "We are just living in the mortal world. We are just luckier than others to come into contact with the world of cultivation. But cultivation is not about setting rules and regulations for ourselves. Just be ourselves."
This viewpoint goes against the traditional cultivation method of rejecting the seven emotions and six desires. Lin Shushu felt that it was fortunate that they did not live in the cultivation world, otherwise this unconventional idea might not be accepted by most people.
She was just expressing her feelings momentarily; ultimately, her thoughts were the same as Mo Ze's. So what if she was craving something? She could eat when she wanted, sleep when she wanted, and she was willing to save the world if she wanted to. After all, she was in charge of her own life.
After resting, when night fell, the two left the space and returned to the place where they had originally entered it.
At this time, the mountains and forests were deserted, with only the occasional rustling of small animals and the chirping of insects.
Thankfully, no one was around, otherwise, if two people suddenly appeared out of nowhere, they would have scared people to death.
Sure enough, the pollution level was even higher at night.
Practice makes perfect, and the two of them skillfully manipulated their spiritual power to purify the pollutants in the air.
One difference is that last time, their cultivation levels were lower, limiting the area they could purify; this time, the area has expanded considerably. Judging by the current situation, in another three days, they will be able to eliminate the pollutants from the entire planet.
Having overdrawn their spiritual energy, the two returned to their spatial dimension to recover. Unbeknownst to them, their actions had already caused quite a stir outside.
In the morning, the planet's inhabitants get up as usual. Most people stay indoors as usual, but a small number of people have reasons to go out. These people are usually fully armed and try to minimize the time they spend outside.
On this day, they discovered that their occasionally exposed bodies no longer felt uncomfortable as before. Even more noticeable was that the mist that came into contact with the water dripping from their protective suits turned a much lighter color.
This situation quickly spread among acquaintances, and more and more people learned about it, while more and more people came forward to confirm it.
Everyone was baffled, as this had never happened before.
Someone had a sudden thought, but then shook their head inwardly, thinking, "How could that be? How could such a good thing possibly fall into their lap?"
The news quickly reached the planet's administrators.
Qin Hua was somewhat incredulous upon hearing his subordinate's report. After a moment's hesitation, he went outside.
Seeing that he wasn't wearing any protective clothing, his subordinates became very nervous and hurriedly brought him some, but Qin Hua refused.
It was nearly noon, and usually by this time the pollution levels would have dropped considerably, but Qin Hua could still sense the difference today.
Having confirmed his suspicions, Qin Hua returned to his office.
Have any unusual people come here in the last couple of days, especially young men and women?
As soon as he asked the question, his subordinates were puzzled at first, but then seemed to realize something and immediately understood the implication.
"You mean..."
Seeing that his subordinate understood what he meant, Qin Hua nodded.
"This... I'll go check right away."
The subordinates were so excited they were incoherent. If it was really as they suspected, it would be heaven-sent! No, not even heaven-sent, it was a windfall! And it had hit them when they were completely unprepared.
Since Lin Shushu and Mo Ze hadn't checked into any hotels, the people from Yunwu Star initially found nothing. It wasn't until they changed their approach and tried to learn about the situation from ordinary people.
If you're on the right track, you'll get a response soon.
First, a grandfather and grandson hosted the two young men and women. Later, more people reported seeing a very attractive and well-mannered young couple in the mountains. As for where they went afterward, no one could say.
Based on the information gathered, Qin Hua confirmed his suspicions. He was incredibly excited. Was their planet about to become the second pollution-free planet? What incredible luck!
Although there has been no official statement, based on the previous investigations and personal experiences, coupled with the immense influence of Lin Shushu and her partner, many people have gradually come to their senses and guessed the truth.
Unbeknownst to Lin Shushu and Mo Ze, almost everyone on the planet knew of their existence.
Perhaps learning from the experience of R15, the residents of Cloud Star tacitly agreed not to leak the news through the Star Network immediately. This was a surprise that had fallen from the sky, and they wouldn't be foolish enough to tell anyone.
Qin Hua had already secretly sought advice from Gu Huan, since Gu Huan, as the manager of the first pollution-free planet, had experience that was very valuable to learn from.
After learning about this, Gu Huan only told Qin Hua not to do anything unnecessary and to leave everything to the two of them.
Qin Hua understood. He was the planet's administrator, and he just needed to do his job well. If he could get guidance from those two, that would be great, but if not, he wouldn't force it.
Three days later, just as Lin Shushu had predicted, the pollutants on the entire planet had been completely purified.
Over these three days, the planet's inhabitants felt the most profound relief as the pollution gradually receded. Behind the scenes, they were silently praying for Lin Shushu and Mo Ze.
When Lin Shushu felt the familiar power of wishes, she was somewhat surprised. They hadn't disturbed anyone on their trip, so why were they receiving a reward from the power of wishes?
However, the gains this time weren't significant, because everything has its limits. Last time, they absorbed the power of wills, resulting in a tremendous improvement in their cultivation level, but they weren't so lucky this time.
Because the further one progresses, the more difficult it becomes to advance in one's cultivation level. After this incident, Lin Shushu remained at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, but her cultivation level was more stable. Mo Ze, on the other hand, was a bit luckier; his cultivation level improved from the early stage of the Golden Core realm to the middle stage.
Judging from the changes in their cultivation levels, Lin Shushu guessed that if they did such things again in the future, it would not be as helpful in improving their cultivation levels, unless they did it many times enough to achieve a qualitative change from a quantitative one.
Lin Shushu didn't mind this. She didn't do this for any reward. Last time it was an unexpected surprise, and this time there wasn't much of a gain, so she wouldn't be disappointed.
Because Mo Ze needed to consolidate his realm, they did not show up immediately after the pollution was eliminated.
The moment the pollution was completely eliminated, the planet's inhabitants sensed it. The quick-thinking ones immediately took out their testing equipment, and their surprise reached its peak when the reading showed "0".
The people hugged each other, cheered, and expressed their joy to the fullest.
After the excitement came regret: why were Marshal Mo and his fiancée nowhere to be seen?
