Transmigrating into a book and receiving a system, cannon fodder rises to power by stepping on schem

After walking around, Chen An roughly understood how this place was formed.

At the very bottom is a seventh-tier magical beast, and everything above it is formed from its demonic energy.

A dozen powerful cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage once captured it and studied it for more than half a year, discovering that the demonic energy within its body was inexhaustible.

The other monsters couldn't survive once their heads were cut off, but this one was different; even if it was blown to pieces, it could still piece itself back together.

In order to prevent it from wreaking havoc on the world, a great deal of effort was spent to imprison the seventh-tier magical beast here.

Fortunately, the magical beasts have magic cores, so there's no need to worry about them becoming more and more numerous and breaking out of the dungeon, where many people would want to hunt them down.

Today is a sunny day, the day when the demonic energy of magical beasts is at its weakest, and many cultivators have rushed here hoping to make a fortune.

Chen An and his two companions were lucky to have encountered such a day.

While strolling around, Chen An noticed a brother and sister who looked to be around twenty years old.

The younger sister spoke first: "Brother, let's each kill one and leave. If I encounter any danger, you go first."

"You won't be in any danger, I'll protect you," the brother said with a smile, ruffling his sister's hair.

Chen An used her spiritual power to check the cultivation levels of the two people, and found that they were both ordinary people. She thought to herself that they might be short of money at home, but she did not intend to give them money directly.

If fate allows, we will surely meet in the underground palace. If they encounter danger then, it will not be too late to rescue them.

"My wine is two spirit stones more expensive than others, but its quality is absolutely unmatched. In addition to snow water and magic cores, I've also added frost dew from medicinal herbs. Those who want to buy it can try it first."

Hearing the shouts, the three of them went over.

A woman in her thirties was leading two teenagers. The woman was at the Great Perfection of Core Formation, and the two children had reached the first stage of Foundation Establishment.

Wu Siyue took the wine the woman offered him, took a big gulp, and felt refreshed all over. In particular, the clarity in his mind made him shiver.

He couldn't help but exclaim, "What excellent wine!"

Everyone looked at Wu Siyue, then at Mu Jingtai beside him. Someone accompanied by a cultivator at the Two Elements Realm was definitely a discerning person.

The woman's wine was sold out, and Chen An and his two companions were pushed aside.

After everyone left, the three of them went to look at other stalls. The woman in front of them brought out three wine jars, smiled and handed them over, saying, "These are for you. Thank you so much for today. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to sell any of my wine."

Chen An glanced at the two children beside him, took out two high-grade pills that were beneficial for Foundation Establishment, and handed them over.

The woman quickly waved her hand in refusal. Chen An hugged a jar of wine to his arms, turned around and left, as did the other two.

It wasn't that Chen An was generous, but rather that this woman was too calculating, and Chen An noticed her. She actually planned to exchange three jars of wine for a master.

The ground began to shake. With Mu Jingtai leading the way, the three of them didn't need to queue and were called to the front by the manager.

"This young man has an extraordinary bearing; he must be a disciple of a sect. He doesn't look like a rogue cultivator."

Mu Jingtai returned the greeting: "Emperor Zhaoning, Mu Jingtai."

The middle-aged woman in charge said in a low voice, "That's right, this place is not open to disciples from other sects."

After looking around, she asked again, "Are you disciples of the sect?"

Chen An shook his head and said with a smile, "No, his extraordinary bearing is innate." He then slipped a high-grade spirit stone to the steward.

The steward put away the spirit stones and winked at Chen An, "Then let's go in."

The three of them were the first to descend into the underground palace. It was pitch black inside, filled with demonic energy. After making a hand seal, everything in front of them became clear. The first floor was full of monsters that ordinary people could kill. It was really a waste of their talents to fight this one.

However, the three were really curious about magic cores, so they killed one and cut open its head. Inside, there was indeed a magic core the size of a grain of rice.

After using magic to retrieve it, the demonic energy was so weak it was almost nonexistent. Even a small fly is still a piece of meat, so Chen An put the demonic core away.

Fortunately, Fu Gui can consume a large amount of magic cores every day; otherwise, after killing enough magical beasts, there would probably be nowhere to put these ten times the amount of magic cores.

I hadn't walked far when I heard a familiar voice behind me.

“You are the child bride that my Liu family bought. Whether you live or die, it should be up to me to decide. My mother is senile. She raised you and now she wants to let you go. Dream on. If you don’t marry me, you’ll die.”

Chen An's pupils contracted slightly. The brother and sister had such a relationship. Just as the monster was about to bite the girl to death, Mu Jingtai intervened.

Bang!

The monster's head shattered, and its body crashed into the older brother.

After getting up, still shaken, the girl wanted to express her gratitude, but found that her savior was no longer beside her.

She mustered her courage, pried open the monster's head, took out the core, and ran outside as fast as she could, disappearing in one breath.

The three of them successfully descended to the second floor. The magic cores inside the heads of the monsters here were indeed larger than grains of rice, but the amount of demonic energy was only a tiny bit.

After reaching the fourth floor in one go, Mu Jingtai planned to let the other two gain some experience by following behind them without making a move.

Chen An and Wu Siyue scoffed at his approach. Since he was leading the way, why did they have to put in all the effort themselves?

Fourth-tier magical beasts are equivalent to cultivators at the Core Formation stage. When Chen An fights them, he has to use divine power. Combining his spiritual power with his cultivation, he can easily defeat two or three of them.

As Chen An fought, his divine power combined with his own. Looking at Chen An's back, Wu Siyue vaguely felt that Chen An was much stronger than himself.

While he was distracted, a monster pounced on him, and he didn't have time to dodge.

After the sound of a blade slicing through flesh rang out, Chen An's disdainful voice came: "You've already condensed your core, do I still need to worry about you?"

Wu Siyue cleared his throat: "No need, no need." He thought to himself that he needed to work harder, or he would never be able to hold his head high again.

Mu Jingtai, who was standing to the side, had long seen that Wu Siyue was no match for Chen An, but he did not expose him and always regarded him as the second strongest fighter.

After dealing with another wave, Mu Jingtai finally took pity on the two and decided to lead them to the lower two levels.

Chen An laughed wildly a few times, thinking that he would help everyone pack it first, and when the time came, he would return it to them after receiving ten times the amount. He believed they would not object.

Wu Siyue looked at Chen An in confusion. Although he could go down there and get some of Mu Jingtai's magic cores, there was no need to be so happy.

Mu Jingtai felt even more strongly that although his junior sister was intelligent, she was indeed mentally unstable.

"Fugui, Tank, let's go play downstairs."

The two spirit beasts didn't respond, and when she turned around to look for them, they were both gone.

Chen An sighed and released his mental energy to search, seeing the two fighting fiercely in the distance.

Fu Gui rode on the back of the tank, while dozens of monsters fled in panic. As soon as they saw the two of them coming, they acted as if they had seen something dirty, and their feet seemed to fly.

Even with his speed, Fu Gui could always manage to kick a few targets. After kicking one, Tank would then deliver a meatball attack, easily obtaining the magic core.

After releasing his divine sense, Mu Jingtai also witnessed this scene and exclaimed, "This is too cruel."

Wu Siyue couldn't see it, but he always felt that the two of them perceived the outside world differently: "Chen An, do you know how to refine pills?"

Chen An withdrew his mental energy. "I wouldn't call it knowing how; I've only succeeded with one method."

"Don't be modest. So that's why you're so rich. Turns out you made your money from alchemy." Wu Siyue looked incredulous.

Chen An was too lazy to explain. He thought that if he could, he could. Anyway, his mental strength was not bad. If he wanted any pills, he would definitely succeed after refining them a few more times.
