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

Chapter 4: First visit to the medicine garden, many challenges

The man in black was Lin Hu.

He smiled sinisterly, like a poisonous snake lurking in the dark: "Boy, you have taken my place. This medicine garden is not a place you can come to whenever you want!" Before he finished speaking, Lin Hu suddenly attacked. A black shadow flashed by and went straight to Xiao Bei's face!

Xiao Bei was prepared and dodged the attack with a quick move.

He was secretly shocked. Lin Hu's attack was ruthless and he was obviously a martial artist.

It seems that he had been keeping a low profile in the menial work area before, hiding his strength.

"With this little ability, you still want to sneak attack me?" Xiao Bei sneered and took a defensive posture.

Lin Hu missed his attack, but he was not angry. Instead, he became more excited: "You have some skills! Then let me see how capable you are!"

The two men fought back and forth at the entrance of the medicine garden, punching and kicking each other, and the dust was flying everywhere.

Finally, Sun Bo came over after hearing the noise and scolded the two men.

"How shameless! Fighting at the entrance of the medicine garden, do you want to kill all the herbs?!" Sun Bo puffed his beard and glared angrily.

When Lin Hu saw Sun Bo coming, he immediately put on an aggrieved expression: "Sun Bo, this guy took my position and even attacked me. You have to take care of this for me!"

Xiao Bei rolled his eyes. This Lin Hu was really a dramatic actor, and he was a master at confusing right and wrong.

Although Sun Bo was old-fashioned, he was not confused. He could tell at a glance that it was Lin Hu who provoked him first.

He snorted coldly, "Lin Hu, stop pretending to be pitiful! Xiao Bei was personally arranged by Manager Zhao to enter the medicine garden. What qualifications do you have to question him? If you're not convinced, go find Manager Zhao and argue with him!"

Seeing that his attempt to stir up trouble failed, Lin Hu had to shut up in disappointment.

Sun Bo glared at Lin Hu, then turned to Xiao Bei and said, "Boy, you just entered the medicine garden. I have a task for you. Go and tidy up that overgrown medicinal field and ensure the survival rate of the herbs. Remember, you must complete it within today!"

Xiao Bei took a look at the overgrown medicinal field and groaned inwardly.

This medicinal field is quite large, and the weeds grow more lushly than the herbs. It is not an easy task to clean it up within a day.

But he did not complain, instead he readily agreed: "Uncle Sun, don't worry, I will definitely complete the task!"

Xiao Bei thought to himself: System, my journey to becoming an immortal begins from this medicinal field!

He opened the system interface and searched for knowledge about herbs.

The system quickly gave a detailed answer, including the characteristics of various herbs, their growing environment, planting methods, and so on.

With the help of the system, Xiao Bei's work efficiency has been greatly improved.

He skillfully removed weeds, trimmed branches and leaves, fertilized and watered the plants. Every move he made was professional and efficient.

The other errand disciples around were secretly surprised to see Xiao Bei's skillful movements.

This guy doesn't look like a newbie!

Xiao Bei was working furiously, completely unaware that Lin Hu was hiding in the shadows, staring at him coldly...

"Hmph, kid, I wonder how long you can keep your complacency..." Lin Hu showed a sinister smile on his face and walked silently into the depths of the medicine garden...

Lin Hu smiled sinisterly and slipped into the depths of the medicine garden, pulling out a bulging cloth bag from his arms.

What's inside is not some treasure, but some carefully selected weed seeds - the kind that grows extremely fast and has strong vitality.

"Hehe, little guy, you want to fight with me? You're still too young!" Lin Hu spread these "evil spirits" evenly in the medicinal field that Xiao Bei had just prepared, just like sprinkling pepper.

After doing all this, he clapped his hands, hummed a little tune, hid behind a big tree, and prepared to watch the show.

Time passed minute by minute, the sun set, and the golden afterglow filled the medicinal garden.

Sun Bo walked slowly over with his hands behind his back, ready to check Xiao Bei's work results.

"Well, not bad..." Sun Bo was quite satisfied at first. After all, the surface of the medicine field looked clean and tidy.

But when he got closer and took a look, his expression changed instantly.

"What's going on?! Why are there so many weeds growing again?!" Sun Bo's voice was like thunder, making Xiao Bei's eardrums buzz.

He hurried over to take a look and was stunned.

In the originally clean medicinal field, dense weeds appeared again at some point. Although they were still very small, with their terrifying growth rate, it would not take long for them to occupy the land again.

"This...this..." Xiao Bei was also confused. He had clearly cleaned it up! Could it be...

Sun Bo shook his head in disappointment. "Young man, you need to be careful and thorough in your work. With your perfunctory attitude, how can you become a qualified Medicine Garden disciple?"

Xiao Bei opened his mouth, wanting to explain, but didn't know where to start.

Could it be that someone deliberately framed him?

But he has no evidence.

At this moment, Lin Hu, who was hiding in the dark, couldn't help laughing out loud, "Puchi". Although he covered his mouth in time, the subtle sound was still caught by Xiao Bei.

He turned his head suddenly, his eyes as sharp as torches, staring at the big tree where Lin Hu was hiding... "Come out!"

Xiao Bei took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart.

He knew that now was not the time to be impulsive.

Instead of arguing, let the facts speak for themselves.

"Uncle Sun, these weeds are clearly new and evenly distributed, like they were sown by humans." Xiao Bei pointed at the medicinal field and said calmly, "If I'm not mistaken, someone is deliberately framing me."

Sun Bo frowned, half believing and half doubting: "Man-made? But there are usually few people coming to this deep part of the medicine garden. Who would do this?"

"Uncle Sun, take a close look at these weed seeds. They're still very fresh, obviously they were sown not long ago." Xiao Bei paused and turned his gaze towards the entrance to the medicine garden. "Also, look at the footprints at the entrance. Don't they look very similar to Lin Hu's shoes?"

Sun Bo followed Xiao Bei's gaze and saw that there were several clear footprints at the entrance of the medicine garden, which matched the style of Lin Hu's shoes.

He was shocked. Could it really be Lin Hu's doing?

"Go, call Lin Hu to me!" Sun Bo gave an order, and immediately a errand disciple ran to summon Lin Hu.

After a while, Lin Hu was brought before Sun Bo.

He pretended to be calm and innocent: "Uncle Sun, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"Lin Hu, tell me the truth, did you sow these weeds?" Sun Bo asked sternly.

Lin Hu's eyes flickered as he flatly denied it: "Uncle Sun, please don't wrongly accuse a good person! How could I do such a thing?"

"There's evidence and witnesses, and you still dare to quibble!" Xiao Bei snorted coldly, "Do you think you did it without anyone noticing? I've noticed you a long time ago!"

Sun Bo sent someone to check Lin Hu's shoes and found that the soles were stained with mud and weed seeds, which were exactly the same as the weed seeds in the medicinal field.

The evidence was irrefutable and Lin Hu could no longer deny it.

"Lin Hu, you disappoint me so much!" Sun Bo was so angry that his beard stood up. "As a menial disciple, you don't strive for progress. Instead, you harbor evil intentions and frame your fellow disciples. Your crime is simply unforgivable!"

Lin Hu's face turned pale, he knew that he was in trouble this time.

He knelt on the ground and begged bitterly: "Uncle Sun, I was wrong! Please give me another chance!"

"Opportunities aren't something you beg for, you earn them yourself." Xiao Bei looked at Lin Hu coldly, "People like you don't deserve to stay in the medicine garden!"

Sun Bo pondered for a moment and finally made a decision: "Lin Hu, considering this is your first offense, I will punish you this time..."

Before Sun Bo finished speaking, a strange sound suddenly came from the depths of the medicine garden...

"Then...what is that?!"

Sun Bo's words came to an abrupt end. A strange sound came from the depths of the medicine garden, as if something was approaching quickly.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a ball of black fog rolling in, bringing with it a suffocating feeling of oppression.

"What the hell! What the hell is that?!" a errand disciple exclaimed.

"Demon beast? No way, how could there be a monster beast in the medicine garden?" Another disciple turned pale with fear.

Xiao Bei's heart trembled. This aura was definitely not that of an ordinary beast!

He immediately started a system scan, trying to find out the true identity of the black fog.

"Ding! Unknown energy fluctuations detected, danger level: high!" The system's cold prompt sound made Xiao Bei's heart sink.

The black fog was getting closer and closer, and everyone finally saw its true appearance - a huge spider, its body was pitch black, and its eight eyes were flashing with a green light, which was creepy.

"A giant poisonous spider! It's a second-level monster!" Sun Bo's face changed drastically. This thing was not something that these rookies in the Qi Refining Stage could deal with.

The giant poisonous spider roared, opened its bloody mouth, and sprayed out a ball of venom directly towards Xiao Bei and others.

"Get out of the way!" Sun Bo shouted and dodged first.

The other errand disciples also dodged, but a few unlucky ones were splashed by the venom and fell to the ground instantly, wailing in pain.

Xiao Bei was quick-witted and quick-handed. He grabbed the two disciples beside him and avoided the venom attack.

"Oh my god, this thing is too poisonous!" said a disciple with lingering fear.

"Stop talking nonsense and run!" Xiao Bei shouted and pulled the two of them towards the entrance of the medicine garden.

The giant poisonous spider chased after them relentlessly, its huge body rushing around and crushing the herbs in the medicine field into pieces.

"This...this medicinal field..." Sun Bo looked at the destroyed medicinal field with heartache, wanting to cry but without tears.

Xiao Bei ran while thinking about countermeasures. Fighting head-on would definitely not work, he could only outsmart them.

"System, is there any way to deal with this thing?" Xiao Bei asked in his heart.

"Ding! It is recommended to use the 'Flame Talisman'."

Xiao Bei's eyes lit up, Flame Talisman!

This was the reward he got for completing a task before, and it came in handy.

He quickly took out the Flame Talisman from his storage bag, silently chanted a spell, and activated it.

"Go!" Xiao Bei threw the flame talisman at the giant poisonous spider.

The flame talisman turned into a beam of fire and hit the giant poisonous spider, causing a raging flame to erupt instantly.

"Ah!" The giant poisonous spider let out a scream and was in great pain from being burned by the flames.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xiao Bei and others escaped from the medicine garden.

Sun Bo looked at the charred corpse of the giant poisonous spider and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thanks to you, Xiao Bei." Sun Bo looked at Xiao Bei gratefully. "If it weren't for you, we would probably all be dead here today."

"Uncle Sun, you're too kind." Xiao Bei smiled modestly.

"To reward your heroic performance, I'll give you this 'Spirit Gathering Pill'." Sun Bo took out an exquisite jade bottle from his arms and handed it to Xiao Bei.

"Thank you, Uncle Sun!" Xiao Bei took the jade bottle and was overjoyed.

The Soul Gathering Pill is a top-quality low-level elixir that can help cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage quickly improve their cultivation.

The other errand disciples looked at the jade bottle in Xiao Bei's hand with envy.

"This kid is so lucky!"

"Hmph, it's just better luck, what's so great about that?" Lin Hu said sourly from the side.

Xiao Bei ignored Lin Hu's sour words. In the medicine garden, there were more challenges waiting for him...

"Uncle Sun, look..." a errand disciple pointed to the depths of the medicine garden, his voice trembling.

Sun Bo looked in the direction of his finger, his expression suddenly changed, "This... this is..."
