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

Chapter 49: Difficulty in building foundation and limited resources

When Xiao Bei returned to the cave, Bei Li immediately came to greet him, her face full of worry: "Brother Xiao Bei, are you okay? Did those bad guys bully you?"

"It's okay, they're just a bunch of minions, nothing to worry about." Xiao Bei rubbed Bei Li's hair, his tone was relaxed, but there was a barely perceptible solemnity between his brows.

It was indeed effortless to deal with that group of minnows, but the real challenge had just begun.

After reaching the foundation-building stage, his realm was still unstable and he urgently needed a large amount of special spiritual materials to consolidate it.

He needs "Sky Star Grass", "Earth Vein Root", "Mysterious Ice Crystal"...

These are rare treasures in the world of immortal cultivation.

Thinking of this, Xiao Bei couldn't wait to rush to the sect's resource library, ready to plunder it.

However, when he excitedly pushed open the door of the warehouse, he saw a heartbreaking scene - empty shelves, a few sparse low-level spiritual herbs, where were the treasures he needed?

"Oh my god! What's going on?!" Xiao Bei couldn't help but swear.

This resource library is cleaner than his face!

He worked so hard to kill monsters and level up, and finally reached the foundation-building stage, but in the end he didn't even have the resources to consolidate his realm. How could he accept this?

Xiao Bei suppressed the anger in his heart, found the deacon in charge of the resource library, and explained his needs.

The deacon wiped the sweat from his forehead and hesitantly said, "Xiao... Senior Brother Xiao, these spiritual materials you need... are really... too precious. We don't have that much in stock in the warehouse..."

"No? I remember that our sect just got a large number of treasures from the ancient ruins some time ago? Where did they go?" Xiao Bei's tone was cold and his eyes were as sharp as a knife.

The deacon trembled with fear and quickly explained, "Those treasures... have all been distributed to other elders and disciples... and... and you also got quite a few before..."

"What I got before were for the purpose of impacting the foundation building. What I need now are spiritual materials to consolidate my realm. Can they be the same?" Xiao Bei argued, but he felt something was wrong in his heart.

He always felt that someone was deliberately targeting him behind this incident.

When the news came out, some elders and disciples jumped out and began to openly oppose Xiao Bei's request for more resources.

"This kid Xiao Bei is too greedy! He just got so many treasures, and now he wants more? The sect's resources don't belong to him!" A sarcastic voice sounded.

"That's right! It's just building the foundation, why does it require so many precious spiritual materials? I think he just wants to keep it for himself!" Another sarcastic voice echoed.

Xiao Bei sneered, "Embezzlement? I need to embezzle it? Where were you when I made great contributions to the sect? Where were you when I risked my life to explore the ruins?"

The two sides are on the verge of a conflict...

At this moment, an old and majestic voice sounded...

enough!

"

Elder Hong, a man of high moral character and prestige, one of the three great men of the sect, slowly approached and, like a magic needle that stabilized the sea, instantly calmed the quarrel that was about to break out.

"It is a blessing for our sect that Xiao Bei succeeded in establishing his foundation. Now is the critical moment when we need resources to consolidate our realm. What is your intention in obstructing him?" Elder Hong's voice was not loud, but it carried unquestionable majesty.

The opponents were suddenly speechless, shrinking their necks and daring not to say another word.

Although they were jealous of the resources Xiao Bei had obtained, Elder Hong's prestige was not something they could challenge.

"Xiao Bei, you can choose the spiritual materials you need at the sect's spiritual material market first." Elder Hong turned to look at Xiao Bei, his tone much softer. "Foundation building is not easy. Don't delay your cultivation due to lack of resources."

Xiao Bei was overjoyed and quickly bowed to express his gratitude: "Thank you, Elder Hong!" Now, those opponents could only grit their teeth secretly, but they could do nothing.

With the support of Elder Hong, Xiao Bei has a smooth journey in the spiritual materials market.

He immediately fell in love with a spiritual herb that emitted a faint golden light - the "Nine Yang Golden Lotus". This was the main ingredient for refining the top-level elixir for the Foundation Establishment Period, the "Golden Lotus Pill", and was priceless!

"I want this Nine Yang Golden Lotus!" Xiao Bei said without hesitation.

"Wait!" A cold voice suddenly sounded.

A man wearing a black robe and a strange mask on his face walked out and stood in front of Xiao Bei.

"I've got my eye on this Nine Yang Golden Lotus. I'll double the amount of spirit stones you offer me!"

Xiao Bei frowned slightly. He recognized this outfit. It was the logo of the Black Evil Organization!

"Haha, the highest bidder wins, that's the rule." The man in black robe sneered, his tone full of provocation.

"Fifty thousand spirit stones!" Xiao Bei directly shouted out a high price.

"One hundred thousand!" The man in black robe was unwilling to be outdone.

"One hundred and fifty thousand!"

"Two hundred thousand!"

The price soared, and everyone around was stunned.

"Three hundred thousand!" Xiao Bei gritted his teeth and shouted out his bottom line.

The black-robed man seemed to hesitate for a moment, then smiled sinisterly, "Three hundred and ten thousand!"

Xiao Bei sneered in his heart, "If that's the case..." Xiao Bei raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a playful smile, "Then I will..."

“…I won’t buy it.” Xiao Bei shrugged and said with a relaxed look.

The man in black robe was stunned, obviously not expecting Xiao Bei to give up suddenly.

He originally wanted to continue raising the price, exhaust Xiao Bei's resources, and prevent him from building his foundation, but he didn't expect Xiao Bei not to be fooled.

"Are you kidding me?" The man in black robe said in a cold tone, and his eyes under the mask exuded cold murderous intent.

"What if I'm playing tricks on you?" Xiao Bei sneered, "You think you can play tricks on me with your little tricks? Go home and practice for a few more years!"

"Looking for death!" The man in black robe shouted angrily, and several minions behind him immediately surrounded him. Each of them looked ferocious and exuded the aura of a late stage Qi Refining.

"Oh, I'm so scared!" Xiao Bei patted his chest pretending to be afraid, but the next second, his figure disappeared like a ghost.

"Where are the people?" The minions were confused. Before they could react, they felt a gust of wind coming.

"Whirlwind Kick!" Xiao Bei's voice came from behind them.

Bang bang bang!

With a few dull thuds, the minions were kicked out like sandbags, falling heavily to the ground, wailing incessantly.

Everyone around was stunned. When did Xiao Bei become so strong?

"Foundation Establishment Stage? Impossible!" the black-robed man exclaimed. He clearly remembered that Xiao Bei had just established his foundation. How could he possibly possess such powerful strength?

Xiao Bei slowly walked up to the black-robed man, a wicked smile on his face, "Do you want to know why? Unfortunately, you won't have the chance to find out."

He stretched out his hand and waved it gently. A golden light flashed, and the man in black robe didn't even have time to scream before he turned into a ball of black mist and disappeared without a trace.

The people around were silent, all shocked by Xiao Bei's thundering methods.

Only then did they realize that Xiao Bei was no longer the menial disciple who was bullied by others, but had grown into a truly strong man!

Xiao Bei turned and walked towards the counter, pointing at the Nine Yang Golden Lotus, and said lightly: "I want to buy this Nine Yang Golden Lotus at the original price. Is there any problem?"

The guy behind the counter turned pale with fear and shook his head quickly, "No... no problem!"

After paying the spirit stones, Xiao Bei took the Nine Yang Golden Lotus and turned to leave.

He walked to the door and suddenly stopped. He turned to look at the shivering butler beside him and said in a cold tone, "There are some things that it's better not to let me know the truth, otherwise..." He paused, a cold light flashed in his eyes, "You will bear the consequences at your own risk."

Bei Li held the fragrant tea in her hand, looking at Xiao Bei with starry eyes, a face full of admiration: "Brother Xiao Bei, you are so awesome! A great cultivator like you is simply my idol!" Xiao Bei took the spiritual tea, took a sip, feeling the fragrance of the tea wafting between his lips and teeth, but in his mind he was thinking about the next plan.

Although Elder Hong's support solved the urgent problem, the Nine Yang Golden Lotus was only a small part of the spiritual materials needed to build the foundation, and it was still far from enough.

"System, release the next task!" Xiao Bei muttered in his heart.

"Ding! Triggering the task: Collect 'Earth Vein Roots' and 'Mysterious Ice Crystals'. Task rewards: Advanced Foundation Building Pills*3, Experience Points +." The system's cold prompt sounded.

"Earth vein roots, black ice crystals..." Xiao Bei muttered to himself. These two things, one grows deep underground, and the other is hidden in the glacier for thousands of years. Neither of them is easy to get.

It seems that I have to go to the "Valley of Ten Thousand Monsters".

In the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, monsters are rampant and dangers are lurking on all sides, but it also contains countless natural treasures, such as earth vein roots and black ice crystals, which may be found there.

Just as Xiao Bei was thinking, a black shadow appeared silently outside the resource library.

The black shadow hid in the dark, observing Xiao Bei's every move, with a cold smile on his lips.

"Xiao Bei, do you think you can escape from my clutches? Humph, the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons will be your burial place!" The black shadow was none other than the leader of the Black Evil Organization - Night Owl.

He got the news that Xiao Bei was about to go to the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, so he set up a net in advance, preparing to wipe out Xiao Bei completely.

Night Owl took out a black jade talisman and muttered something. The jade talisman emitted a strange light and then turned into a black bat and flew into the night sky.

"Hehe, this time, I want to see how you die!" Night Owl laughed sinisterly.

After returning to the cave, Xiao Bei told Bei Li about his trip to the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons.

"Valley of Ten Thousand Demons? I heard it's very dangerous! Brother Xiao Bei, can I go with you?" Bei Li blinked her big eyes, looking expectant.

Xiao Bei ruffled Bei Li's hair and said with a smile, "Of course, with you here, my safety factor will be greatly improved."

Bei Li smiled sweetly and hugged Xiao Bei's arm tightly, "Brother Xiao Bei, don't worry, I will protect you!"

Xiao Bei felt warm in his heart when he saw Bei Li's serious expression.

He knew that although Beili was not very strong, her care and support for him were his greatest motivation.

"Let's go!" Xiao Bei gave an order, and the two of them took off on their swords and flew towards the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons.

Behind them, in an inconspicuous corner, a pair of cold eyes were staring at them intently, with a strange smile on the corner of his mouth...

"Oh, the show is about to begin."
