Gao Wu: I became the minor villain that the protagonist was about to destroy.

Chu Yuntian said with a solemn expression, "Indeed, as Miss Leng said, I am worried that this potion may be a false spiritual water."

"Decades ago, a beast tide occurred in Luoxia City. Unlike other beast tides, this one, although large in scale, consisted mainly of relatively low-level creatures. It only caused some property damage before the beast tide was resolved."

"The crisis had only just begun when people were feeling relieved."

"Those dead monsters all carried spores of a kind called the Void-Loving Vine."

"That's when the nightmare started."

"The spores from some monsters have already invaded the city along with the monsters."

"They feed on blood. When the awakened ones slaughter the invading monsters, the monsters' blood flows downhill, causing a spore of a phlegm-loving vine to sprout. It continuously absorbs the blood, allowing the plant to grow and spread, eventually covering an area the size of a small town."

"Because the vines were growing underground, they didn't attract anyone's attention until a month later when several people came to the police station to report that their husbands had been missing for a long time and hadn't returned home."

"And these people all have one thing in common: they are workers in the city's sewer system."

"Then the psionic police explored the city's underground pipes. When they arrived at the sewers, they were shocked to find that the sewers were almost entirely covered by vines, and the vines were even aggressive."

"But they were quickly dealt with by the psionic police. They followed the direction of the vines and soon found the missing people ahead. All of them were lying unconscious on the ground, with thin vines extending from their bodies, constantly drawing blood."

"As the psionic officers approached to rescue the workers, the vines began to attack wildly. At that moment, the psionic officers realized that these vines were beyond their level to deal with."

"Just as they were about to report, the vines broke through the solid city ground and spread throughout the city, frantically sucking up human life as nutrients. In just a moment, the area was almost completely overrun."

"When the higher-ups learned of the news, they hurriedly dispatched troops to encircle and suppress it, but at this moment the Void Devouring Vines stopped attacking, and the large amount of nutrients allowed its level to break through again."

"Flower buds sprouted on the vines, and the speed at which they bloomed was visible to the naked eye; in just a few tens of minutes, they grew from buds into flowers."

"It also emits a strange pollen scent; anyone who inhales the pollen will instantly fall into a coma."

"This caught the Luoxia City army completely off guard, and it can be said that the entire army was wiped out. All the soldiers inhaled pollen and fell into a deep sleep."

"If it weren't for the intervention of the highest-ranking official in the military region, the mayor, and the heads of the four major families, the Devouring Vines wouldn't have been destroyed."

"Those soldiers who inhaled the pollen were in a coma for more than half a month. It can be said that this half month was the darkest time in the entire Luoxia City. At the moment the Void Devouring Vines died, the demons, led by the general-level demons, launched an invasion of Luoxia City."

"For a time, the entire Luoxia City was almost in dire straits. Fortunately, the researchers in Luoxia City extracted a spiritual liquid from the remains of the Void Devouring Vines, which is the Void Devouring Spiritual Water mentioned earlier."

"This spiritual liquid can completely knock out any monster below the general level. With the help of this spiritual water, we have finally resolved this beast tide crisis."

"After that, just when everyone thought that this vine might be a trump card to defeat the monster, the soldiers began to search for the existence of this plant in the secret realm after they woke up."

"Unfortunately, we couldn't find any relevant clues at all; the plants in this secret area simply don't exist."

"Later they realized that if this spiritual water fell into the hands of someone with ulterior motives, it might bring disaster to humanity, so they sealed away the remaining spiritual water."

After hearing this, Ye Ming finally understood: "That's why you were so nervous when you heard that a potion with this effect had come out."

"How do you know so much?"

"Because I was one of the search and rescue team members back then, that's why I know so much about what happened back then."

"But how did you know, Miss Leng? Judging from your age, you shouldn't have even been born at that time."

Leng Ruoxue did not answer. At this moment, the laboratory door opened and the researchers came out.

Chu Yuntian immediately forgot about the previous question and hurriedly asked, "What were the test results?"

After removing their masks, the researchers said, "President Chu, based on the analysis results, the medicine Mr. Ye brought over does not belong to any currently known ingredients."

"Its composition is quite different from that of the Void Spirit Water, but it is even more potent."

Chu Yuntian frowned immediately. "Alright, I understand. You may leave."

"It seems it's not the 'spiritual water' you were talking about, but the problem seems even bigger."

"Yes, I need to talk to the old man about this. If this kind of potion becomes widespread in the market, it will cause a turmoil in the psychic world."

At this moment, Ye Ming reminded him, "Have your men keep an eye out recently; I suspect some outsiders have come to Luoxia City."

"That bastard knew my identity directly, so I believe he was sent by another family."

"Pay close attention to the recent moves of the Chen and Lei families, in particular."

"Yes, I'll keep that in mind. I'll also try to find out from the old man later."

After exchanging a few words with Chu Yuntian, Ye Ming left directly.

When Ye Ming returned to the Black Dragon Society, he saw the guards at the entrance standing there trembling with fear.

Yoru and Baki immediately realized that it was that guy who had returned.

Leng Ruoxue asked with some confusion, "What's wrong with them?"

Ye Ming's lips curled up slightly: "You'll find out soon enough."

So Leng Ruoxue walked in with a questioning mind. As soon as she entered the headquarters, her body immediately sent out a dangerous signal, and a chilling aura surged from her body.

He stared warily ahead.

Ye Ming said, "Yo, you're back. How was the prey this time?"

Yujiro nodded: "It's alright, the purity is much better than last time."

Then Yujiro looked at Leng Ruoxue behind Yeming and his lips curled up in a smile.

"It seems you've reached that age too."

Ye Ming waved his hand: "You're overthinking it. This is just a new member we recruited, a genius with SS-level Meridian Convergence talent."

"Oh? Is that so? I hope it's a gem in the rough."
