Traveling through the world of immortal cultivation: My system is amazing
Chapter 58: Exploring the Border, Suspicions Begin
When Xiao Bei stepped into the border town, a bleak atmosphere hit him in the face. The air was filled with tension, making him feel more uncomfortable than if he had eaten an expired spiritual fruit.
"This atmosphere is even gloomier than my stepmother's face." He couldn't help but complain.
The townspeople looked at him with vigilance, as if they were looking at a plague god.
"Hey, hey, hey, do I look like a demon cultivator? Do you have to be so wary of me?" Xiao Bei thought to himself.
He tried to ask the residents about the situation, but everyone kept silent, their mouths tightly closed like clam shells.
Xiao Bei felt like he had punched cotton and felt extremely frustrated.
The investigation was making little progress, and Xiao Bei felt anxious, as if he was being scratched by a hundred claws.
"This feeling is even more unbearable than when I was pursuing Beili." He rubbed his eyebrows, feeling overwhelmed.
At the same time, Senior Brother Lin was exaggerating his report to Elder Bai: "Elder, I saw Xiao Bei interacting with several suspicious people. They were acting furtively. There must be something fishy going on!"
Elder Bai frowned. He was already suspicious, so he believed what Senior Brother Lin said about 70%.
"Xiao Bei... Humph, I hope I'm worrying too much." A gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and he decided to secretly monitor Xiao Bei's every move.
Xiao Bei was at a loss when he suddenly felt a chill on his back, as if something was staring at him.
"Could it be... that I'm being followed?" He turned around suddenly, but found nothing.
"Is it an illusion?" Xiao Bei shook his head and continued to inquire about news in the small town.
However, his every move was seen by Elder Bai.
"Xiao Bei, you'd better not let me down..." Elder Bai muttered to himself with a cold look in his eyes.
As night fell, Xiao Bei walked into a blacksmith shop, intending to repair his sword.
The sound of blacksmithing, "ding ding dang dang...", broke the tranquility of the town.
Xiao Bei walked closer and saw a burly blacksmith sweating profusely as he forged weapons.
"Boss, can you help me repair my sword?" Xiao Bei asked.
The blacksmith raised his head, glanced at Xiao Bei, then lowered his head to continue forging iron, and said in a muffled voice: "Repairing the sword? Repairing what sword?"
"An ordinary sword?" The blacksmith suddenly stopped his work, raised his head, and looked at Xiao Bei with a strange look, "Young man, are you sure... you are holding an ordinary sword?" Xiao Bei took out his sword, looking puzzled: "Yes, an ordinary sword, what's wrong?" This sword is unremarkable. Apart from being able to peel apples very quickly, it has no special functions.
Blacksmith Zhang narrowed his eyes, took a closer look, and sniffed it. His expression suddenly changed: "This... this sword... has demonic energy!"
Xiao Bei's heart skipped a beat, feeling even more uncomfortable than eating expired spiritual fruit.
"Holy crap! No way! I bought this sword through legitimate channels, honest and trustworthy!"
Blacksmith Zhang lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "Young man, you look kind, so I'll tell you a secret. Things have been uneasy in this town lately. There are demonic cultivators lurking around..." He paused, then added, "Go to that barren mountain to the west. It's filled with gloomy energy. I suspect the demonic cultivators' lair is there."
When Xiao Bei heard this, he immediately became energetic and more excited than if he had been injected with chicken blood.
"Thanks, buddy! I'll treat you to some spiritual fruit later!" He grabbed his sword and rushed out like an arrow. His speed was even faster than that of a rabbit.
The barren mountains to the west were indeed filled with gloomy winds and a spooky aura, even scarier than the look in his ex-girlfriend's eyes.
Xiao Bei sneaked in cautiously, moving through the woods like a nimble monkey.
Suddenly, he noticed a few sneaky figures in front of him, chanting something around an altar.
"Demon cultivators!" Xiao Bei recognized them at a glance. These minions were dressed more raggedly than beggars, and their magic spells were fancy. They looked unreliable at first glance.
The minions also discovered Xiao Bei and immediately launched an attack.
All kinds of strange and bizarre spells came towards Xiao Bei as if they were free.
Xiao Bei did not dare to be careless and quickly used the Foundation Establishment spell to counterattack.
For a moment, sand and rocks flew everywhere, trees fell down, and the scene was more lively than a vegetable market.
When the surrounding residents saw this scene, they were so scared that they pissed their pants and ran away.
Seeing that Xiao Bei was difficult to deal with, the minions wanted to slip away.
Xiao Bei sneered: "Want to run? No way!" He used his skills and chased after them like a gust of wind. In no time, he beat the minions to a pulp, making them cry for their parents.
Xiao Bei searched out some items used by demon cultivators from them, and one of the black tokens caught his attention.
There was a strange symbol engraved on the token, emitting a faint demonic aura.
"What is this?" Xiao Bei examined the token carefully. Suddenly, he felt someone behind him...
"North, what are you doing?"
Beili suddenly appeared, hugged Xiao Bei, and hung on him like a koala.
"Bei, you scared me to death! Wuuuuu..." She cried like a pear blossom in the rain, her voice smaller than a mosquito, but filled with deep worry.
Xiao Bei's heart softened instantly, even softer than before.
"Silly girl, I'm fine, aren't I? Look how worried you are. If someone didn't know, they would think I sold you out!" He patted Beili's back gently, his tone so gentle that water could drip out.
When the residents around saw this scene, they all smiled like "I've been knocked down!" Some even whispered, "What a talented man and beautiful woman, a match made in heaven!" "This young man is so lucky to have such a beautiful wife!"
Xiao Bei brought the confiscated magic items to Elder Bai's residence, ready to report the situation.
He placed the token and other items in front of Elder Bai and described the battle process with the demon cultivator in vivid detail. He was so passionate that saliva was flying everywhere.
However, Senior Brother Lin said sarcastically, "Elder, who knows if he directed and acted out all this himself? Maybe he did it on purpose to win credit!"
Elder Bai already had doubts about Xiao Bei, and after hearing what Senior Brother Lin said, he became even more suspicious.
His face darkened, darker than the bottom of a pot, and he said coldly: "Xiao Bei, I'll keep these things for now. You are not allowed to go anywhere for the time being. Wait for the investigation!"
Xiao Bei suddenly felt more disgusted than eating a fly, and almost vomited blood.
"Elder, I am wronged! Even more wronged than Dou E!" He tried to explain, but Elder Bai didn't listen at all and simply had someone "invite" him out.
Xiao Bei returned to his residence and stomped his feet in anger.
"This Senior Brother Lin is even stinkier and harder than the stones in the toilet! One day, I will teach him a lesson!" He clenched his fists, a fierce look in his eyes.
Bei Li hugged him distressedly and comforted him softly: "Bei, don't be angry, I believe you! The clear will be clear, and the turbid will be turbid!"
Xiao Bei took a deep breath and tried to calm down.
He knew that now was not the time to act impulsively and he had to find a way to prove his innocence first.
He took out the system panel and began to analyze the seized magic items...
"The symbol on this token...why does it look familiar?" he muttered to himself, frowning.
Xiao Bei fiddled with the system panel, his fingers sliding rapidly across the screen, muttering to himself: "Analyze! Analyze! Analyze it for me!" The system was worthy of being the protagonist's standard golden finger. After a flash of light, lines of mysterious text appeared on the screen.
"Holy shit! This amount of information is bigger than my ex-girlfriend's shopping cart!" Xiao Bei widened his eyes and took a breath.
It turns out that there is a shocking secret hidden in these magic items - Mo Yan is planning to use a forbidden drug called "Blood Demon Pill" to improve his own cultivation, and then lead the magic army to attack the world of immortality!
"My goodness, this Mo Yan's ambition is even bigger than my mother-in-law's!" Xiao Bei couldn't help but complain.
He realized that if he could expose this conspiracy, he could prove his innocence and make a great contribution!
It makes me feel good just thinking about it, it’s even more comfortable than taking a tonic pill!
However, he is now restricted by Elder Bai and cannot move an inch. What should he do?
"Do you want me to use my bone-shrinking skills to slip out through the window?" Xiao Bei touched his chin and fell into deep thought.
Just then, Beili walked in with a bowl of steaming spiritual rice porridge.
"Bei, have some porridge. Don't starve." Her gentle voice was more beautiful than the song of a lark.
Xiao Bei took the spiritual rice porridge and felt warm in his heart, which was more comfortable than basking in the sun in winter.
"My Beili is still the best!" He was so moved that he hugged Beili and kissed her hard.
Suddenly, an idea struck him, faster than the Flash.
"Got it!" A cunning light flashed in his eyes, smarter than a fox.
"Beili, do me a favor..." He whispered a few words into Beili's ear.
After hearing this, Beili's eyes widened as big as bells. "Is this... is this possible?"
"Don't worry! There will be absolutely no problem!" Xiao Bei patted his chest confidently, which was harder than diamond.
Beili hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.
"Okay, for you, I'll fight!" She took a deep breath, her eyes firm, stronger than steel.
In the dead of night, outside Elder Bai's residence, a stealthy figure, more agile than a mouse, was quietly approaching...
