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

Upon arriving at the fifth underground level, Chen An witnessed a magical beast devouring its own kind. Within seconds of swallowing it, the beast's aura surged dramatically.

She suspected that this was also the reason why the demonic cultivators liked to eat people.

Seeing this, Mu Jingtai casually finished off the monster in front of him.

Chen An stepped forward and took out the demon core, which was actually the size of an egg.

There were still more than ten hours until the mission ended, so Chen An wasn't in a hurry.

She looked at Mu Jingtai and said seriously, "Senior brother, since we're down here, why don't we make a big profit and kill more fifth-tier magical beasts? In the last three hours, we'll go down and see if we can beat the sixth-tier ones. If we can, we'll kill a few, then take a look at the biggest one at the bottom and leave."

Wu Siyue naturally agreed. Since he couldn't beat them anyway, it would be easier for Mu Jingtai to protect him.

"Ok."

Chen An pressed his advantage: "If you don't mind, I can keep the magic cores for you for now."

Mu Jingtai recalled the scene of Chen An laughing earlier, glanced at her with some confusion, and still handed the bag containing the magic cores to Chen An.

If Chen An wants it, then he can give it all to her. After all, he, as her senior brother, has never given her a gift before.

"Wait, I don't want to. You don't seem to have good intentions." Wu Siyue had just refused when he met Chen An's sharp gaze.

"Here you go, but you have to give it back to me."

Chen An patted him on the back and said righteously, "Don't worry, I'll definitely pay you back."

Mu Jingtai truly lived up to his reputation as the sect's number one fighter. He was the one killing in front, and if there hadn't been so few magical beasts, Chen An and Wu Siyue wouldn't have even had time to collect the magic cores.

With four or five hours left, Mu Jingtai prepared to rest and recuperate before going to have a good fight with a monster of similar strength.

Chen An silently counted the magic cores she had collected; there were a whopping 30,000. After she took 10,000 from Wu Siyue, she was overjoyed; she had struck it rich again.

Ten thousand pieces would cover fifty square meters, while fifty thousand pieces would multiply that to over two thousand square meters. Most of the items from the secret realm would still be there, and there definitely wouldn't be enough room for them all.

Couldn't the storage space in this world be expanded?

"Ugh, it's so annoying, why can't I install it?"

Mu Jingtai glanced at Chen An and handed over the only storage ring he possessed, saying, "One thousand square meters."

His own belongings occupied thirty or forty square meters. Although it wasn't much, the quality of the items was very high, and some of them were even something that Chen An envied.

When Wu Siyue heard that it was a thousand square meters, it refreshed his understanding of storage rings. He had never seen or even heard of such a large space.

Following Mu Jingtai, the three arrived at the sixth floor, which was extremely quiet, so quiet it was unsettling.

Just as Chen An took a step, a sixth-tier magical beast pounced on her.

Mu Jingtai flashed to Chen An's side and blocked the monster's attack.

This monster has gained sentience and knows how to dodge Mu Jingtai's attacks.

[It is recommended to abandon the sixth underground level, as the monsters on this level are particularly prone to devouring each other, and it would take at least two cultivators at the Two Elements Realm to deal with just one monster.]

"Here, pack it up."

Chen An took the apple-sized magic core that Wu Siyue had picked up and chuckled softly.

Excuse me, I have to go now.

The system fled in disarray, and Chen An laughed even more heartily.

Mu Jingtai complained, "I've heard before that spirit beasts follow their masters, and now I can truly feel it. Fugui really does resemble you."

"Thank you for praising Fugui."

Chen An continued walking forward.

Tired from walking, they each took a sip of wine and instantly felt relaxed again.

In three hours, across the entire sixth floor, they only saw this one. Near the end, they looked for the seventh-tier one but couldn't find it, so they left.

As soon as he came out, Chen An saw Fu Gui preparing to sell beast cores. He went up, picked up Fu Gui, and left. The shopkeeper frowned and snorted coldly.

After carrying Fugui to the side, Chen An immediately began to negotiate, "Give it to me, and I'll give you three times the amount."

Fu Gui nodded. Chen An had kept his word, so it had no doubts. It handed its storage bag to Chen An, which was filled with the magic cores of fourth-tier magical beasts. There were more than 10,000 of these walnut-sized items.

After giving Fugui a thumbs-up, Fugui jumped over and attracted the tank.

It's unclear how the two spirit beasts communicated, but Tank also handed over his storage bag, which only contained a little over a hundred coins. However, Chen An was already very gratified that Fu Gui was willing to share some with Tank.

"Alright, alright, I'll give you three times as well."

Mu Jingtai glanced at Chen An, who was acting suspiciously in the distance, and inquired about the prices. He found that the magic core of a sixth-tier magical beast could be bought for 5,000 high-grade spirit stones, a fifth-tier one for 100, and a fourth-tier one for 30.

There are only one hundred mid-grade spirit stones for the third tier, one hundred low-grade spirit stones for the second tier, and only fifty low-grade spirit stones for the next tier.

"Then give me three times the amount."

Chen An turned his head and saw the person in charge of the underground palace.

"Stop joking around, what are you doing here?"

The person in charge smiled and said, "Just taking a look around," before leaving.

Chen An used his mind-reading ability without hesitation. Impressive! He's now planning to marry his daughter to Mu Jingtai.

These three senior brothers are really popular. Chen An put away the two spirit beasts' belongings, and the system reacted.

Please claim your tenfold reward within three days.

"understood."

Chen An excitedly rubbed his hands together and walked over to Mu Jingtai and Wu Siyue.

The stall owner sat in a recliner, and his servant was in charge of buying the magic cores.

Chen An stepped forward, shielding the stall owner from the sunlight.

The stall owner opened his eyes. "He's the one who can open pulses. Go find him."

He pointed to the servant beside him as he spoke.

Chen An was speechless: "I sold it for my friend."

"Hmm, what kind of friend?"

"Me," Mu Jingtai said clearly as he stood next to Chen An.

An aura belonging to the Yin-Yang Realm, carrying the scent of a high-level magic core, wafted over. The stall owner sprang to his feet, bowed politely, and asked, "How many do you have?"

Chen An rolled his eyes: "You money-grubbing bastard, how much do you want?"

The stall owner shook his head, a shrewd glint in his eyes: "Then naturally, the more the better."

"Are you accepting 150,000 fifth-tier spirit beasts?"

The fan fell to the ground, and the stall owner shouted, "How much? How much do you want?"

"I'm not lying to you, can you accept it?"

"Come with me, come with me."

Following the stall owner, the three arrived at a small town more than ten miles away. The town had few residents, mostly wealthy families whose homes were used for making underground palaces.

The stall owner was beaming with joy, while Mu Jingtai and Wu Siyue hesitated, as they clearly remembered that there shouldn't have been so many.

Chen An didn't want to get away with it like this, but the storage space was only so big. If she took ten times the amount, one-tenth would overflow, and she would have to free up another twenty percent to store spirit stones. What could she do?

The stall owner's house was far more luxurious than his small stall, and he led the three of them straight to the warehouse.

"We also want other grades, so please head out."

“You said it yourself,” Chen An replied.

The stall owner hesitated for a long time before speaking: "This young man is at the Two Elements Realm. Aren't you afraid I'll renege on my debt? How about this, you take out your goods, and I'll pay you then."

The three of them weren't afraid that he would renege on his debt. Although the person with the highest cultivation level here wasn't the stall owner, he was just a middle-aged man who had reached the Great Perfection of Core Formation.

Chen An silently murmured to himself, "Succulents."

[Do you want to claim the 10x reward?]

"receive."

As soon as he finished speaking, more than 50,000 magic cores scattered from Chen An's storage ring. There were so many that they completely submerged the three of them at their ankles.

Mu Jingtai really couldn't tell whether his junior sister was smart or stupid, and he said with a pained expression, "Junior sister, don't throw it directly next time."

Chen An coughed awkwardly twice, thinking to himself that he should buy more storage items to avoid this happening again next time.

The stall owner didn't understand her operation either, but after all, he was a businessman. As long as he could make money, he didn't care what she said.

He summoned more than fifty people, all of whom were Foundation Establishment cultivators. They collected the demon cores very quickly, finishing counting them in less than half an incense stick's time: 53,673.

Chen An nodded in satisfaction and took out another 100,000 coins from his storage bag.

This time, unlike before, when things were under control, Chen An took out a fixed number: 100,000 coins, not one more, not one less.

"Then I won't order any more. There are a total of 153,673 fifth-tier beast cores."

Chen An nodded and sold all of Wu Siyue's and his own fourth-tier beast cores.

"Forty-six thousand and seventy-two fourth-tier beast cores."

After selling those, Chen An took out Fu Gui and Flying Fish Crocodile, and sold 30% of each of them first.

"30,000 fourth-tier beast cores."

The stall owner swallowed hard. The spirit stones he paid for these beast cores were almost all the wealth accumulated by his ancestors over a dozen generations, while the three people in front of him had earned that much in just one day. Heaven is so unfair!

The empty space was once again filled with spirit stones, and Chen An left with a full fortune.
