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

The wrinkles on Uncle Sun's face were twisted into a ball, making him look like an old bitter gourd.

"This...what's going on?" He pointed to the depths of the medicine garden. The spiritual herbs there were once lush and green, but now they were withering at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if their vitality had been drained away.

A strange energy wave came from the depths, making people feel creepy.

The errand disciples around him all gasped, feeling lucky that they were not singled out to investigate.

This is not a good job at all, it's clearly a suicide mission!

"Xiao Bei," Sun Bo pondered for a moment, and finally named Xiao Bei, who was in the limelight recently, "You go and take a look."

The other errand disciples cast sympathetic glances at him, thinking that Xiao Bei had been lucky for a few days, but now he was probably in trouble.

"Uncle Sun, look..." Lin Hu's eyes rolled and he immediately jumped out, "This medicine garden is full of dangers. Letting Xiao Bei go alone would probably be dangerous! Why not let me go with him so I can take care of him."

Everyone was stunned. When did Lin Hu become so kind?

Are you planning something bad?

Xiao Bei glanced at Lin Hu with a half-smile, and sneered in his heart: I was just worried that I couldn't find a chance to deal with you, but you came to me yourself!

"Okay," Xiao Bei agreed readily, "I feel much more at ease with Senior Brother Lin accompanying me."

Lin Hu didn't expect Xiao Bei to agree so readily, and was a little confused.

He originally planned to find an opportunity to plot against Xiao Bei on the road, but now that Xiao Bei agreed so readily, he felt a little at a loss as to where to start.

"Then be careful," Sun Bo warned, "If anything goes wrong, come back immediately!"

"Don't worry, Uncle Sun!" Xiao Bei patted his chest, looking confident.

The two walked side by side into the depths of the medicine garden. As they went deeper, the strange energy fluctuations became stronger and stronger.

"Xiao Bei," Lin Hu said sinisterly, "Do you feel that the atmosphere here is a little off?"

Xiao Bei's mouth corners slightly raised: "Oh? What's wrong?"

Lin Hu's eyes rolled around, and he was about to speak when Xiao Bei suddenly grabbed his arm and pointed forward: "Brother Lin, look!"

As the two stepped into the depths of the medicine garden, a chilling breath hit them in the face, and the air around them seemed to freeze.

The withered spiritual herbs were lying here and there, as if their vitality had been forcibly sucked away by some force. A complex formation was carved on the ground, emitting a strange red light, like the eyes of a devil, which was chilling.

"What the hell, what the hell is this?" Xiao Bei widened his eyes in mock surprise, but secretly thought: This formation looks a bit like...

A cultivation version of the "Tesla coil"?

A hint of viciousness flashed in Lin Hu's eyes, and he approached Xiao Bei with pretended concern: "Be careful, Junior Brother Xiao, this formation looks very dangerous." As he said that, he suddenly raised his foot and kicked Xiao Bei hard in the back.

"That's it?" Xiao Bei sneered in his heart, having expected that Lin Hu would cheat.

He slightly turned sideways and easily avoided Lin Hu's attack.

Lin Hu kicked in the air, lost his balance, staggered a few steps, and fell into the formation.

"Ah——" a scream broke the silence of the medicine garden.

The red light in the formation suddenly surged, enveloping Lin Hu completely.

A powerful suction force came from the center of the formation. Lin Hu struggled desperately, but he seemed to be firmly grasped by an invisible big hand and could not move.

Xiao Bei crossed his arms across his chest, watching Lin Hu struggling in the formation at ease, a playful smile on his lips: "Brother Lin, have a safe journey. I won't see you off."

Lin Hu's face turned pale as he looked at Xiao Bei in horror: "Xiao Bei! You...you actually..."

Xiao Bei shrugged, looking innocent: "Brother Lin, this is not my fault, you fell in accidentally." He paused, a sly look flashing in his eyes, "But..."

Xiao Bei squatted down and looked at Lin Hu, who was howling like a ghost in the formation, with great interest, as if he was admiring a grasshopper trapped in a spider web.

"Tsk tsk tsk, this formation looks quite interesting."

He took out the multifunctional engineering shovel he brought from the modern era—this thing had become a must-have artifact for him at home and on the road since he traveled through time—and began to dig carefully along the lines of the formation.

"Xiao Bei! Help! I'm almost being sucked dry!" Lin Hu shouted at the top of his lungs, feeling that the spiritual energy in his body was being madly devoured by the formation.

Xiao Bei turned a deaf ear and hummed a little tune while studying the formation.

Although this formation looked intimidating, its operating principle gave him a sense of déjà vu.

A bit like……

A cultivation version of the "Tesla coil"?

"Could this thing be used for wireless charging?" Xiao Bei touched his chin and made a bold guess.

While observing the pattern of the formation, he adjusted the nodes of the formation with an engineering shovel.

As he operated, the red light in the formation gradually weakened and the suction force also became smaller.

"Huh? I actually guessed it right?" Xiao Bei's eyes lit up and he continued to adjust the nodes of the formation.

Suddenly, the red light in the formation flashed, and a stream of pure energy surged out from the center of the formation and directly poured into Xiao Bei's body.

"Oh shit!" Xiao Bei was shocked by the sudden impact of energy. He felt as if a warm current was rushing through his body. The originally blocked meridians were instantly unblocked, and an unprecedented sense of power surged into his heart.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for breaking through to the first level of Qi Refining!" The system's voice sounded at the right time and echoed in Xiao Bei's mind.

At the same time, the red light in the formation completely disappeared and the suction force stopped.

Lin Hu collapsed to the ground, his face pale and his whole body weak, as if he had been drained of energy.

Xiao Bei stood up, dusted himself off, and felt refreshed.

He lowered his head and looked at an ancient book that had appeared in his hand at some point. On the cover were written four large characters - "Secrets of Spiritual Herb Cultivation".

"Hehe, it seems like I've made a lot of money this time." Xiao Bei grinned and put the secret book in his arms.

He glanced at Lin Hu, who was lying on the ground dying, and said lightly: "Brother Lin, how do you feel? Do you want to do it again?"

Lin Hu raised his head with difficulty, his eyes filled with resentment...

Lin Hu lay on the ground like a puddle of mud for a long time before he trembled and climbed up. He pointed at Xiao Bei and said in a weak but resentful voice: "Xiao Bei! You...you watched someone die without helping!"

Xiao Bei had the expression of an old man on the subway looking at his phone. "Brother Lin, you're quite professional at scamming people, aren't you? You were the one who wanted to plot against me first, but now you're blaming me? Do you want me to help you recall the force and angle of your kick?"

At this time, Sun Bo and Zhao Lao hurried over with a group of miscellaneous disciples.

Seeing the mess deep in the medicine garden, Sun Bo's face suddenly darkened: "What's going on? What happened?"

Lin Hu saw Uncle Sun and felt like he had grabbed a lifeline. He complained with a sad face, "Uncle Sun, Xiao Bei...he almost killed me! This formation...is too dangerous!"

Xiao Bei shrugged, looking like "whatever you want".

He recounted the entire incident in detail, of course, omitting the parts about the system and modern knowledge, and simply said that he had cracked the formation by accident.

After hearing this, Sun Bo's face became even uglier.

He looked at Lin Hu, his eyes filled with disappointment. "Lin Hu, I'm very disappointed in you. As a senior brother, you don't set an example yourself. Instead, you harbor evil intentions and frame your fellow disciples. It's truly heartbreaking!"

Lin Hu's face turned pale, he was speechless and couldn't speak for a long time.

Elder Zhao snorted coldly, "Lin Hu, considering this is your first offense, I'll forgive you this time. But if you do it again, I won't let you off easily!"

Lin Hu lowered his head and didn't dare to refute, but his hatred for Xiao Bei became even stronger.

In the next few days, the news that Xiao Bei had broken through to the first level of Qi Refining spread like wildfire among the menial disciples.

Some people envy, some are jealous, and some are disdainful.

But no matter what, Xiao Bei's position in the medicine garden is completely stable.

He is no longer the menial disciple who is bullied by others, but a tough guy who has the power to protect himself and even fight back.

At night, Xiao Bei sat cross-legged on the bed, feeling the spiritual energy flowing in his body, with a smile on his lips.

The first level of Qi Refining is just the beginning.

He knew that in the world of cultivating immortals, the strong prey on the weak and only the fittest survive.

If you want to gain a foothold in this world, you must continue to become stronger.

He took out the book "Secrets of Spiritual Herb Cultivation" from his pocket and opened the first page in the moonlight.

"Blue Sky Yellow Spring Flower? Tsk tsk, this name sounds so domineering..." Xiao Bei touched his chin, his eyes flashing with excitement, "Looks like I have to find an opportunity to try it..."

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he raised his head abruptly, looked at the dark night sky outside the window, and muttered to himself: "I wonder...how is she now..."
