Traveling through the world of immortal cultivation: My system is amazing

The afterglow of the setting sun fell on Xiao Bei and the others, and the golden light seemed to give the little rat's gray fur a layer of warmth.

But in this warmth, an unusual situation quietly arose.

The lively and jumping figure of the little rat gradually weakened. It nestled comfortably on Xiao Bei's shoulder, but its body was trembling slightly.

Beili was the first to notice something was wrong. She looked up in confusion, "What's wrong with the little rat? Why is it so listless?" There was a hint of anxiety in her words.

Xiao Bei also noticed the abnormality of the little rat, and a trace of uneasiness arose in his heart.

He immediately stopped and carefully took the little rat off his shoulder. He found that its eyes had become dull and the whole rat seemed to have lost its vitality.

"Oh no, maybe someone has set us up." Xiao Bei recalled the disdainful looks he saw during the Spirit Pet Competition. "Someone must be unwilling to see us win and is doing something to us."

Bei Li was extremely anxious, "Hurry up and find a pet doctor! We can't let the little pet mouse suffer like this!"

The two of them immediately acted quickly and set out in a hurry to find a spiritual pet doctor.

They made their way through the bustling crowd, trying to find a spiritual pet doctor who was generally recognized for his superb medical skills, hoping that the spiritual rat could recover quickly.

However, things seem to be far from that simple.

They searched for it many times but were turned away. One of them even had a bad-mannered spirit pet doctor who told them bluntly that because they had offended Young Master Jin in the competition, no one was willing to take the risk to heal their spirit pet.

"Young Master Jin?" Bei Li stamped his feet indignantly. "It's this guy again. He always lingers around!"

Xiao Bei suppressed the anger in his heart and remained calm on the surface, but his fists were clenched tightly, showing his anxiety and dissatisfaction at the moment.

"We can't give up. No matter what, I won't let anything happen to the little rat."

The two continued to toss and turn, tiredly counting the number of rejections they had received in the twilight.

Until he found an inconspicuous little shop. The owner was a spiritual pet doctor in the early stage of Jindan. When he saw Xiao Bei coming in, he showed a malicious smile.

I know very well that there is something behind this smile.

Xiao Bei smiled slightly, his tone revealing endless fighting spirit and indomitable spirit, "Whatever you want, just name your price." He knew that what awaited him would be another challenge, and he never intended to back down.

Faced with the spiritual pet doctor's smiling face but greed in the corners of his eyes, Xiao Bei was already prepared for a difficult negotiation.

He had seen this kind of smile many times, especially in the hostile gazes of his opponents after the Spirit Pet Competition.

This time, even if the other party has a special identity, he will never compromise easily.

"I don't want much, just some precious spirit stones and a few rare herbs," the spirit pet doctor said leisurely, seemingly in no hurry to treat the little spirit rat.

Xiao Bei's face suddenly showed anger, and he vaguely guessed the other party's intention in his heart, "This is clearly taking advantage of the situation!" He thought to himself.

But for the sake of the little rat, he decided to endure it temporarily. "I agree to the conditions, as long as you can start treatment immediately."

The spirit pet doctor shook his head and said softly, "What's the point of you agreeing to me? Things are the real deal. I don't think you want your spirit pet to wait any longer."

Just when he was about to explode, Beili suddenly grabbed his sleeve gently, shook his head gently at him, then took out a beautiful little object from his arms and handed it to the spiritual pet doctor.

It was an exquisite jade ring, emitting a soft glow and engraved with some strange runes.

Upon seeing this, a trace of barely perceptible excitement flashed across the Spirit Pet Doctor's eyes. He could hardly believe that this little object would appear here.

"Where did you get this thing...?" The spirit pet doctor couldn't hide his excitement, and his voice was trembling.

Bei Li blinked mischievously and said lightly, "I found it. What? In the eyes of the great doctor, this is a valuable item."

The spirit pet doctor glanced at Xiao Bei, who was standing silently beside him, with complicated eyes, and the smile on his face suddenly softened.

He knows that the story behind this jade ring far exceeds any material value. "Of course, this jade ring has a great connection with me."

For a moment, the dull atmosphere of confrontation in the air eased slightly, but as the spirit pet doctor quickly took the jade ring, his attitude changed: "In that case, I will do my best to treat your spirit pet. However, I also have a small request..."

Xiao Bei was slightly surprised by this sudden change, but he just nodded with a firm look in his eyes, "It shouldn't be you who decides the conditions."

The spiritual pet doctor smiled slightly, turned sideways with a meaningful look, and led the two people into the inner hall.

They all stepped into this secret space at the same time, and what kind of changes will the situation inside usher in gradually unfolded an unfinished story.

The inner hall was dimly lit and filled with a strange medicinal fragrance.

The spiritual pet doctor gently placed the little spiritual mouse on a jade table covered with soft velvet and began to examine it carefully.

Xiao Bei stared at the spiritual pet doctor's every move with a sharp gaze, fearing that he would play some tricks.

"Tsk tsk, the poison in this little fellow is not simple. Fortunately, he was sent to the hospital in time. If he was a step later, even gods would not be able to save him." The spiritual pet doctor shook his head while examining him, as if deliberately creating an atmosphere.

Xiao Bei sneered in his heart, "Are you playing King of Glory here and killing someone with low health? Stop with these nonsense and get treated quickly!"

The spiritual pet doctor was not annoyed. He smiled and took out a bunch of bottles and jars from his storage bag. The various colored powders and liquids were dazzling to look at.

"Don't worry, this secret recipe passed down from my ancestors is specially formulated to treat all kinds of difficult and complicated illnesses. I guarantee you'll be cured!"

After saying that, he began to give acupuncture and administer medicine with skillful techniques, completing the treatment in one go.

The little rat's originally listless appearance gradually improved, its fur regained its luster, and it even squeaked softly twice, as if responding to the treatment.

Seeing this, Bei Li finally let go of her worries and hugged Xiao Bei excitedly, "That's great! The little rat is fine!"

Xiao Bei also hugged her tightly, feeling her joy, his heart filled with tenderness.

But at the same time, he secretly became more alert. Is it really that simple?

At this moment, the Spiritual Pet Doctor suddenly stopped what he was doing and looked at Xiao Bei meaningfully, "This poison is not an ordinary poison..."

Xiao Bei's heart tightened, "What do you mean?"

The Spirit Pet Doctor smiled mysteriously, "This poison is called 'Spirit-Erosion Powder'. It's extremely rare, and..." He paused deliberately to whet Xiao Bei's appetite, "Also, only a few forces have the ability to refine it."

Beili also realized the seriousness of the matter and asked nervously, "You mean, someone deliberately wanted to harm the little rat?"

The Spirit Pet Doctor did not answer directly, but handed a jade slip to Xiao Bei, "It contains the subsequent steps of detoxification, and... some other information."

Xiao Bei took the jade slip, probed his spiritual sense into it, and his face instantly became gloomy.

"Oh, interesting." Xiao Bei curled his lips into a cold smile, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, "It seems that someone wants to play with fire." He put the jade slip away and turned to look at the spiritual pet doctor, "Thank you very much."

The spirit pet doctor bowed in return, "It's just a small favor, no need to thank me. But..." He paused and lowered his voice, "Some things, it's better to be cautious."

Xiao Bei didn't say anything else, just looked at him deeply, then left the shop with Beili and the little rat.

As night fell, Xiao Bei stood in front of the window, looking at the lights in the distance, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.

"Beili," he said slowly, "help me get ready. Tomorrow, we're going to visit some old friends."

After the little clever mouse recovered, it was full of energy, jumping up and down as if it was equipped with a perpetual motion machine, and performing parkour on Xiao Bei's shoulders.

Beili watched it regain its vitality, smiling happily, and reached out to tease it from time to time. The man and the mouse had a lot of fun playing together.

But Xiao Bei had no intention of enjoying this moment of tranquility. The words of the Spiritual Pet Doctor kept circling in his mind: "This poison is not an ordinary poison..."

"The assessment of Lao Liu's behavior has been completed." Xiao Bei muttered to himself, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.

He is not some saintly and innocent person. He will not offend anyone unless they offend him. But if someone offends me, I will kill them completely!

"Baby, what are you mumbling about?" Beili came over curiously, like a clingy little kitten.

"Nothing, I'm just thinking about how to give the little rat a buff so that it will be invulnerable to swords and guns in the future." Xiao Bei rubbed Bei Li's head, his tone gentle, but the coldness in his eyes did not diminish at all.

"Great! It's better to give it a complete iron armor, so that no one dares to bully it!" Beili clapped excitedly, not noticing the strangeness in Xiao Bei's tone at all.

Xiao Bei smiled slightly and said nothing more.

He opened the jade slip given by the spiritual pet doctor and studied it carefully.

In addition to the subsequent steps of detoxification, the jade slip also recorded some information about "Spirit-Erosion Powder" and several forces that may possess this poison.

"Oh, it's them." Xiao Bei sneered, already having a rough guess in his mind.

Young Master Jin and the family behind him are definitely involved.

"Baby, where are we going to play next?" Bei Li asked excitedly after seeing Xiao Bei finish reading the jade slip.

"Play?" Xiao Bei's eyes flashed with cunning, "Of course, to play some exciting games."

The next morning, Xiao Bei and Bei Li left the inn and headed straight to the busiest market in the city.

On the surface, they seemed to be strolling leisurely, but in fact, Xiao Bei had already begun investigating secretly.

He first found a store that specialized in selling various rare materials, and pretended to ask casually about the antidote for the "Spirit-Erosion Powder".

"Spirit-Erosion Powder? Sir, you are joking. This is a banned drug. How could we have it?" The owner looked at Xiao Bei warily, with a hint of panic in his eyes.

Xiao Bei observed the shop owner's reaction calmly, thinking to himself, "It seems this clue is broken."

He visited several more stores but didn't get any useful information.

Just when he was about to give up, a ragged old man suddenly blocked his way.

"Young master, I see that your forehead is black, and you may have a bloody disaster." The old man said mysteriously.

Xiao Bei frowned and was about to scold him, but suddenly noticed that the old man was holding a familiar jade bottle in his hand.

"Wait," Xiao Bei grabbed the old man's wrist, "What's in your bottle?"

The old man chuckled, "Young Master, you have good eyesight. This is..."

"Antidote for the Soul-Eroding Powder?" Xiao Bei's tone was cold, with murderous intent in his eyes.

The old man's face changed drastically, "You...how do you know?"

"I know more than you think." Xiao Bei sneered and slowly approached the old man. "Now, tell me, who asked you to do this?"

"I... I can't say..." The old man's voice trembled and his eyes were full of fear.

Xiao Bei's eyes turned cold, and he was about to continue questioning when suddenly, a sound of breaking through the air was heard, and a sharp arrow shot straight at the old man...
