Traveling through the world of immortal cultivation: My system is amazing
Chapter 184: A battle of wits at the gate of the spirit world, Xiao Bei shows his edge for the first
The hall was shining with golden light, very brilliant, filled with spiritual energy, and a solemn and serious atmosphere came towards us.
In the center of the hall, a spiritual messenger wearing a white robe and with an extraordinary temperament like an immortal sat upright. His eyes were bright and sharp as he scanned everyone in the hall.
"Welcome everyone to the Hall of Inquiry to take the final test of the gate to the spirit world—the knowledge quiz." The spirit world messenger's voice was loud, shaking the hall. "Only those who pass the test are qualified to enter the spirit world."
As soon as these words were spoken, the hall immediately became noisy.
"Knowledge quiz? This is too much like a child's game!" A tall and strong monk muttered unhappily.
"That's right. We are all cultivators, not scholars. How can this be considered a test?" another cultivator followed suit.
Xiao Bei looked around and found that many cultivators looked embarrassed and were obviously not satisfied with this test.
"Hehe, it seems that this journey to the spirit world will eliminate a lot of people." Young Master Li said in a strange voice, looking at Xiao Bei with provocation.
Xiao Bei glanced at him coldly and ignored him.
He knew that Master Li was deliberately trying to provoke him.
Elder Wen stood beside Master Li and said with a sinister smile, "Master Li, this time I must make that brat suffer a little, so he knows what it means to be ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth!"
"Don't worry, Elder Wen, I have already made arrangements." Master Li raised a sinister smile, and a hint of viciousness flashed in his eyes.
Xiao Bei was shocked and felt that something was wrong.
He quietly pulled Beili behind him and whispered, "Be careful, I feel someone is going to do something bad."
"Okay, I understand, Brother Xiao Bei." Bei Li nodded obediently, his big eyes vigilantly observing the surrounding situation.
The spirit world messenger seemed not to have heard the crowd's discussion. He continued, "This quiz has a total of ten questions. Those who answer six questions correctly will pass the test."
"Ten questions? That's too easy!" Master Li curled his lips in disdain.
"Easy? Haha, you must be dreaming!" Xiao Bei sneered in his heart
"Okay, let's start with the first question now!" As soon as the spiritual world messenger finished speaking, the hall suddenly became quiet and the atmosphere became extremely tense.
Xiao Bei took a deep breath and looked at the spirit world messenger with a determined gaze. He knew that the real test had just begun...
"Wait!" A crisp voice suddenly sounded.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Xiao Ling appear next to Xiao Bei at some point.
She walked up to Xiao Bei and whispered, "Xiao Bei, I have something to tell you." Xiao Ling leaned close to Xiao Bei's ear and quickly explained some key points about the spirit world and knowledge questions, including some easily confused knowledge points and trap questions.
Xiao Bei listened attentively, nodding from time to time to show his understanding.
"Question one!" The deep voice of the spirit world messenger interrupted Xiao Ling's explanation.
"What is 'Tao'?"
This question seems simple, but it is actually extremely profound. Many monks scratched their heads, not knowing how to answer it.
Young Master Li sneered, "That's all? That's too childish!" He was about to speak when Xiao Bei answered first, "The Tao that can be spoken is not the eternal Tao. The name that can be named is not the eternal name. The nameless is the beginning of heaven and earth; the named is the mother of all things..."
Xiao Bei recited the opening chapter of the Tao Te Ching in one breath, his tone sonorous and powerful.
There was silence in the hall, and everyone was shocked by Xiao Bei's answer.
Even the messenger from the spiritual world nodded slightly, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.
"Perfect!" Bei Li clenched her fists excitedly and whispered excitedly, "Brother Xiao Bei, you are so great!" Her eyes were full of admiration when she looked at Xiao Bei, as if a little fan girl saw her idol.
Xiao Bei felt Bei Li's gaze, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, giving her a confident smile.
Xiao Bei answered the next few questions fluently, as if all the answers were imprinted in his mind.
The expression of admiration on the face of the spirit world messenger became more and more intense, and he even couldn't help but nodded in approval.
"Sixth question," the Spirit World Envoy paused, as if pondering something, "Excuse me, how do you refine the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill?"
As soon as this question was asked, the hall exploded.
The Nine-Turn Golden Pill is a legendary elixir that is said to be able to bring the dead back to life and regenerate flesh from bones. However, no one knows how to refine it.
Mr. Li's face changed. He didn't know this question either!
He glared at Xiao Bei fiercely and cursed in his heart: This kid is too lucky!
Xiao Bei was not in a hurry. He pondered for a moment and then began to talk. He talked about everything from the selection of medicinal materials to the control of the heat to the refining techniques. He spoke clearly and logically.
Everyone in the hall was listening with fascination, as if they were there themselves, feeling the mystery of alchemy.
"It's done!" Xiao Bei finally waved his sleeves violently, as if he had really refined a Nine-Transformation Golden Pill. "This pill needs to be simmered over a low fire for 49 days before it is finally completed!"
The spirit world messenger's eyes flashed, and he clapped his hands and smiled, "Excellent! Excellent answer! This boy's understanding of the way of alchemy is so profound, it's truly rare!"
Beili jumped up excitedly, hugged Xiao Bei's arm, and said excitedly: "Brother Xiao Bei, you are so awesome! I knew you could do it!" As she spoke, her breath was as fragrant as orchid, and the warm breath sprayed on Xiao Bei's neck, making him feel numb.
"Ahem..." Suddenly, a light cough broke the ambiguous atmosphere between the two.
Young Master Li's face turned ashen, and he stared at Xiao Bei with sinister eyes, thinking in his heart: This kid actually dared to ignore me!
He quietly winked at Elder Wen behind him...
Elder Wen understood, a sinister smile curled up at the corner of his mouth, and he slowly raised his right hand...
Elder Wen calmly released a trace of true energy, disrupting the surrounding spiritual energy and forming a subtle wave that rushed straight into Xiao Bei's eardrum.
Although this fluctuation is subtle, it is enough to disturb people's minds and make it difficult for them to concentrate.
Seeing this, Master Li smiled wickedly and thought to himself, "Boy, I wonder if you can answer this time!"
However, Xiao Bei seemed to be completely unaffected and continued to talk freely, even speaking faster than before, with clearer thoughts and more rigorous logic.
He seemed to have entered a state of selflessness, with only the questions in his eyes and the answers in his heart.
"How...is this possible?" Young Master Li's eyes widened in disbelief. "How could this kid's concentration be so strong?"
The cultivators around also showed surprised expressions. They all felt the fluctuations of true energy released by Elder Wen, but they did not expect that Xiao Bei was completely unaffected.
"This kid is quite interesting!" A tall monk couldn't help but exclaimed in admiration, "It seems that this trip to the spirit world will be full of fun!"
"You're worthy of being Brother Xiao Bei!" Bei Li clenched her fists and whispered excitedly, "I knew you could do it!" She looked at Xiao Bei with eyes full of admiration, as if a little fan girl saw her idol.
Xiao Bei's answers became more and more brilliant, causing everyone to nod repeatedly, and even the messenger from the spiritual world showed appreciation.
Seeing this, Master Li became even more angry. He glared at Xiao Bei fiercely and cursed in a low voice: "Damn boy, you dare to embarrass me!"
At this moment, Xiao Bei suddenly stopped, his brows slightly furrowed, as if he had noticed something.
He swept his eyes over the crowd, finally landing on Master Li and Elder Wen.
"Haha, Master Li, Elder Wen, I've seen all your little tricks." Xiao Bei sneered, his eyes flashing with a cold light. "However, your little tricks are nothing to me!"
Young Master Li and Elder Wen's expressions changed, and they thought to themselves that something was wrong.
"The seventh question..." The deep voice of the spiritual messenger sounded again, breaking the tense atmosphere in the hall.
"Excuse me, what is it..." Before the spirit world messenger finished speaking, Elder Wen quietly leaned close to Master Li's ear and whispered...
"Young Master, I know this question! The answer is..." Elder Wen quietly conveyed the answer to Young Master Li.
Master Li was overjoyed when he heard this, and quickly answered: "I know! The answer is..." He glanced at Xiao Bei triumphantly, as if he had already won.
"How dare you!" The spirit world messenger suddenly shouted, frightening Master Li so much that he trembled all over. "How dare you cheat in the Hall of Inquiry! You are so disrespectful to your elders!"
Mr. Li's face turned pale as he faltered as he explained, "I...I didn't cheat..."
"Hmph! You still dare to quibble!" the Spirit World Messenger shouted angrily, "Elder Wen, as an elder, you actually got involved in this? It's truly shameful!"
Elder Wen's face also turned ugly. He lowered his head and didn't dare to speak.
"Since this is your first offense, I'll let you off this time." The spirit world messenger snorted coldly, "But if it happens again, I won't let you off easily!"
Young Master Li and Elder Wen quickly nodded in agreement, but their hearts were filled with resentment.
For the next few questions, Mr. Li didn't dare to cheat anymore and could only answer them with gritted teeth. But the result was predictable. He got several questions wrong and ended up in failure.
Xiao Bei overcame all obstacles and finally passed the knowledge quiz with full marks.
"Congratulations, Xiao Bei, you've passed the test." The Spirit World Messenger said with a smile, "Next, it's a test of strength."
Xiao Bei bowed and thanked him, but his heart was full of anticipation and anxiety.
He knew that this test of strength was the real challenge.
"Brother Xiao Bei, you're amazing!" Bei Li excitedly threw herself into Xiao Bei's arms and hugged him tightly, "I knew you could do it!"
"Hehe, it's no big deal." Xiao Bei touched Bei Li's head, his heart full of confidence.
"Next, please go to the arena to take a test of your strength." The voice of the spirit world messenger sounded again.
Xiao Bei took a deep breath and walked towards the arena.
He stood on the stage, looking around, and suddenly, a familiar figure came into his sight...
Young Master Li was staring at him with a sinister smile, his eyes full of provocation.
"Hmph, boy, I'm going to teach you a lesson this time!" Master Li said in a low voice, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes.
