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

Mr. Zhao's residence was simple and plain. Xiao Bei stood respectfully at the door, waiting to be summoned.

Soon, the door creaked open, and impatience was written all over Mr. Zhao's weather-beaten face.

"What's the matter?" he asked stiffly.

"Mr. Zhao, I would like to apply to do odd jobs in the medicine garden." Xiao Bei said straight to the point.

Old Zhao looked Xiao Bei up and down, with a hint of suspicion in his eyes.

"Medicine Garden? What are you doing in the medicine garden? That's not a place for you to stay."

"Mr. Zhao, I heard that the medicine garden is full of spiritual energy. I want to practice better there." Xiao Bei explained, but in his heart he cursed Lin Hu for being so cruel that he actually put on an eye for him in front of Mr. Zhao.

"Practice? Humph, what do you think the medicine garden is? It is prepared for talented disciples. You are just a menial disciple, so you should do your job well first!" Old Zhao said in a bad tone, and it was obvious that he was not optimistic about Xiao Bei.

"Mr. Zhao, although I am just a menial disciple, I am very interested in spiritual herb cultivation, and I have a strong learning ability. I believe I will be able to handle the work in the medicine garden soon." Xiao Bei argued, he knew that this opportunity was hard-won.

Mr. Zhao pondered for a moment and finally shook his head.

"No, Uncle Sun is very strict in guarding the medicine garden. No one can enter without his consent. Besides..." Old Zhao paused, a hint of suspicion in his eyes, "You have been very popular lately. I'm afraid you will cause trouble if you go in."

Xiao Bei's heart sank. It seemed that Lin Hu's slander had taken effect.

Just as he was about to continue his fight, he suddenly heard a mocking voice coming from outside the door: "Hey, isn't this our great genius Xiao? What, you want to enter the medicine garden and get ahead in one step?"

Lin Hu, accompanied by a few followers, swaggered over with a sarcastic smile on his face.

"Lin Hu, stop talking nonsense here!" Xiao Bei suppressed his anger. He knew that Lin Hu was here to cause trouble on purpose.

"Am I talking nonsense? Don't you want to enter the medicine garden? Just you? Don't you even look at yourself!" Lin Hu became more and more proud as he spoke, and deliberately stretched out his foot to trip Xiao Bei.

Xiao Bei was caught off guard, staggered and almost fell to the ground.

He steadied his body and stared at Lin Hu coldly, with a cold gleam in his eyes.

"Lin Hu, you..."

"What? You want to hit me? Come on, I'm not afraid of you!" Lin Hu shouted arrogantly, not taking Xiao Bei seriously at all.

Xiao Bei took a deep breath. He knew that now was not the time to act on impulse.

He put his clothes in order...

Xiao Bei took a deep breath and suppressed his anger.

It's a waste of time to get angry with such a clown.

He straightened his clothes, raised a disdainful arc at the corner of his mouth, walked straight around Lin Hu and headed towards the medicine garden.

"Tsk, do you really think you are so popular? Just wait to cry!" Lin Hu shouted angrily, but did not dare to stop him. He could only watch Xiao Bei leave.

When Xiao Bei arrived at the entrance of the medicine garden, he saw an old man with white hair and a youthful face sitting on a rattan chair with his eyes closed, resting. It was Sun Bo, the caretaker of the medicine garden.

Xiao Bei bowed respectfully and said, "Hello, Uncle Sun. I'm here to apply for a job as a handyman in the medicine garden."

Sun Bo slowly opened his eyes, looked at Xiao Bei, and said slowly: "Want to enter the medicine garden? Sure, answer me a question first."

When the errand disciples around heard this, they immediately became excited and gathered around to see Xiao Bei make a fool of himself.

They had long been dissatisfied with Xiao Bei's recent popularity, wondering why a newcomer like him could be so arrogant.

"Recently, a magical herb called 'Purple Magnolia' in the medicine garden has begun to wither. Do you know the reason?" Sun Bo stroked his beard, with a sly glint in his eyes.

As soon as this question was asked, the surrounding disciples started talking about it.

"Purple Magnolia? She's notoriously difficult to please. I don't think this kid can answer that." "That's right, Uncle Sun is clearly trying to make things difficult for him."

Lin Hu even gloated and fanned the flames: "Xiao Bei, aren't you quite capable? Answer quickly, don't be a coward!"

Xiao Bei ignored the ridicule around him. He carefully observed the purple magnolias in the medicine garden and found that the edges of their leaves were yellowing and the roots showed signs of rot.

"Uncle Sun, can I take a closer look at the purple magnolia?"

Sun Bo nodded slightly, which was considered as tacit agreement.

Xiao Bei walked to the purple magnolia, squatted down to observe it carefully, and even gently touched the soil with his hand.

"Pretending!" Lin Hu sneered from the side, "I think you're just trying to delay time."

Xiao Bei ignored Lin Hu. He stood up and said confidently, "Uncle Sun, if I'm not mistaken, these magnolias should have root rot."

As soon as this statement came out, the whole place was in an uproar.

Even Sun Bo showed a surprised expression.

"Root rot? How did you know?"

Xiao Bei smiled slightly: "Well..." He paused deliberately, keeping the question in suspense, "It's a secret."

Xiao Bei smiled mysteriously and lowered his voice and said, "Actually, my ancestors have been practicing medicine for generations, and they know a little about herbal medicine. The symptoms of this purple magnolia are very similar to the root rot I've seen before." He explained half-truthfully. After all, who would believe things like "system" and "time travel"?

Sun Bo stroked his beard, his eyes sparkling.

He has lived for so long, what kind of people has he not seen?

This kid Xiao Bei is obviously hiding something, but his observation and judgment should not be underestimated.

"Interesting." Sun Bo gave Xiao Bei a meaningful look. "Do you know how to treat it?"

When Xiao Bei heard this, he immediately became excited.

opportunity!

coming!

"Of course I know!" he said confidently. "The key to root rot is soil drainage and ventilation. First, dig up the soil around the diseased plants to allow the roots to breathe. Second, irrigate with a specific pesticide to kill the pathogen. Finally, adjust the soil's pH to facilitate the growth of the purple magnolia."

Xiao Bei spoke eloquently about his modern botanical theories, leaving the surrounding disciples confused and puzzled.

Even Sun Bo nodded frequently as he listened, his eyes full of admiration.

"Good! Good! Good!" Sun Bo said three good words in a row, "I didn't expect you to be so good!"

Seeing that Xiao Bei was about to successfully get the job at the medicine garden, Lin Hu became anxious.

"Uncle Sun, don't be fooled by him!" He jumped out and pointed at Xiao Bei's nose and cursed, "This kid is talking nonsense. What does he know about root rot? I think he is just a blind cat that caught a dead mouse!"

Lin Hu's interruption cast a layer of doubt on Sun Bo's originally happy expression.

He looked at Xiao Bei again, with a scrutinizing look in his eyes.

"Can you really cure these magnolias?"

Xiao Bei raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a confident smile.

"Of course, if I can't be cured, I'll let Uncle Sun do whatever he wants!"

"Good! You're courageous!" A hint of admiration flashed in Sun Bo's eyes, but then he changed the subject, "However, I can't just take your one-sided story." He paused, his eyes falling on Xiao Bei, "How about this, if you cure a purple magnolia, I'll let you into the medicine garden."

Xiao Bei was secretly delighted and was about to agree when he heard Lin Hu say sarcastically, "Uncle Sun, what if this kid can't be cured?"

Sun Bo glanced at Lin Hu and said calmly, "If he can't be cured, get him out of the menial work area!"

"Good!" Lin Hu shouted excitedly, as if he had already seen the scene of Xiao Bei being driven out.

Xiao Bei took a deep breath and looked at Sun Bo with a firm gaze, "It's a deal!"

Sun Bo nodded and ordered people to bring tools and herbs.

He pointed to the most seriously ill purple magnolia in the medicine garden and said, "This is it. It will convince you."

Xiao Bei walked to the purple magnolia, a gleam in his eyes.

"Let's get started..." he whispered, a hint of excitement and anticipation in his tone.

He picked up the hoe...

Xiao Bei picked up the hoe and without any hesitation, he skillfully dug up the soil around the diseased plants to allow the roots to breathe.

His smooth and flowing operation left the surrounding disciples stunned.

"Oh my god, this kid is really good!" someone couldn't help but exclaimed.

Lin Hu watched from the side, his teeth itching, cursing inwardly: "Pretend! Keep pretending! I wonder how long you can keep pretending!"

Xiao Bei seemed not to hear the discussions around him. He carefully cleaned the rotten parts of the roots of the purple magnolia, and then irrigated it with the special medicine provided by the system.

This potion was his reward for completing the novice mission and had extremely strong bactericidal and repairing effects.

After doing all this, Xiao Bei adjusted the pH of the soil according to the growth habits of the purple magnolia.

While he was operating, he did not forget to explain some planting techniques to Uncle Sun, who nodded repeatedly with admiration in his eyes.

"Not bad, not bad! You are really a planting genius!"

Seeing the leaves of the purple magnolia gradually regaining their luster, Lin Hu became anxious like an ant on a hot pan.

He rushed forward, pointed at Xiao Bei's nose and cursed: "You must have cheated! This is impossible! How could Zi Yulan recover so quickly?"

Xiao Bei sneered: "Cheating? Which eye of yours saw me cheating? Come and punish me if you have the guts!"

Lin Hu was speechless. How could he know anything about planting? He only knew how to bully others by taking advantage of his power.

Sun Bo couldn't stand it any longer. He scolded, "Lin Hu, shut up! I've seen Xiao Bei's abilities clearly. From today on, he'll stay at the medicine garden and work!"

"What?!" Lin Hu's eyes widened, looking at Sun Bo in disbelief, "Sun Bo, you..."

Sun Bo ignored Lin Hu's protests. He smiled and said to Xiao Bei, "Xiao Bei, from now on, just follow me and work hard. The spiritual herbs in the medicine garden will be handed over to you!"

Xiao Bei was secretly delighted, but pretended to be flattered on the surface: "Thank you, Uncle Sun! I will definitely not let you down!"

"Wait!" A cold voice was heard. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Old Zhao walking towards them with a gloomy face.
