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

Chapter 208: Materials destroyed, dilemma looms

Xiao Bei pulled Bei Li out of the cabin, and a burnt smell hit their noses.

There was chaos on the deck, with thick smoke and several fires still burning.

"What's going on?!" Xiao Bei grabbed a disciple who was fleeing in panic and asked sternly.

"Xiao... Senior Brother Xiao! Our... our materials... have all been burned!" The disciple pointed tremblingly at a corner of the cabin, where originally there were piles of spiritual herbs and minerals, but now there was only ashes left.

Xiao Bei's heart sank, and a surge of anger rushed to his head. "Who did this?!"

“Yes… yes…” the disciple hesitated, his eyes flickering, “It seems… it seems to be the First Elder and the Second Elder…”

The First Elder and the Second Elder are the representatives who suppress Forces A and B.

Xiao Bei sneered, "It's them! It seems they are determined to stop us from attending the event!" He clenched his fists, a fierce look flashing in his eyes, "Li'er, let's go!"

Xiao Bei and Bei Li quickly left the chaotic flying boat and headed straight for the nearest material supplier.

However, after visiting several stores, I received the same response: "Sorry, Senior Brother Xiao, our materials are all... sold out."

These suppliers avoided eye contact, stammered, and were obviously lying.

Xiao Bei knew very well that they were threatened by the oppressive forces and did not dare to provide him with information.

"It seems that they really spent a lot of money!" Xiao Bei was even more angry, but he could do nothing.

Time is running out and the event is about to begin. If they can't find alternative materials, they will miss this opportunity.

"Brother Xiao Bei, what should we do now?" Bei Li asked worriedly, her little hands tightly clutching Xiao Bei's sleeves.

Xiao Bei took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

"Don't worry, Li'er, I will definitely find a way!"

At this moment, a familiar figure appeared in his sight—Xiao Ning, his ally.

"Xiao Ning!" Xiao Bei shouted hurriedly, "You've come just in time!"

Xiao Ning walked over quickly, and seeing Xiao Bei's anxious expression, he quickly asked, "Brother Xiao, what happened?"

"All our materials have been destroyed!" Xiao Bei said through gritted teeth, "Those suppliers have also been threatened by them and are unwilling to provide us with materials!"

Xiao Ning was immediately furious when he heard this. "How unreasonable! They're going too far!" He slammed the table and said, "Brother Xiao, let's go and confront them!"

Xiao Bei grabbed him and said, "Wait..."

"Reckless courage won't solve the problem," Xiao Bei shook his head, his eyes gleaming with wisdom. "Alerting the enemy will only make them more vigilant. We have to find another way."

Xiao Ning was immediately deflated when he heard this. "Then what do you say we should do? We can't just sit there and watch this grand event go by like this, right? This is a golden opportunity for us to turn things around!"

"Opportunities always come to those who are prepared," Xiao Bei said with a confident smile on his face, "The mountain man has his own clever plan."

"A great idea? What great idea? Brother Xiao, please stop keeping us in suspense!" Xiao Ning was so anxious that he kept jumping up and down.

Xiao Bei pretended to smile mysteriously, "The secret cannot be revealed, just follow me!"

Xiao Bei took Xiao Ning, avoiding everyone's sight, and came to a desolate abandoned place.

There is no grass growing here, and the spiritual energy is very thin. It has long been regarded as a forbidden area by people in the world of immortal cultivation.

"Brother Xiao, why did you bring me here? There's no one here, how could there be any treasures here?" Xiao Ning looked confused.

"Treasure? There are treasures everywhere!" Xiao Bei squatted down, picked up an inconspicuous black stone, and weighed it in his hand. "Look, this is..."

Xiao Bei combined the knowledge of modern geology with the principles of refining equipment in the world of immortal cultivation, and explained it incessantly, leaving Xiao Ning stunned.

"So, these seemingly ordinary stones, after special treatment, can become excellent materials for refining magical instruments?" A hint of excitement flashed in Xiao Ning's eyes.

"That's right!" Xiao Bei snapped his fingers. "Although the quality is not as good as those high-level spiritual ores, it's enough for this event!"

Xiao Bei and Xiao Ning immediately started collecting these special stones.

Although the process was difficult, both of them were full of energy when thinking about the upcoming event.

At this moment, Bei Li suddenly exclaimed: "Brother Xiao Bei, look!"

Xiao Bei looked up and saw a black shadow flying rapidly in the distant sky...

"Oh no, it's them!" Beili's little hand tightly grasped Xiao Bei's, her eyes firm: "Brother Xiao Bei, don't worry, no matter what happens, Li'er will face it with you!" Xiao Bei held Beili's hand with his backhand, and a warm current surged in his heart.

My wife is so supportive, I must stand up for her!

Suddenly, a familiar system prompt sounded in Xiao Bei's mind: "Ding! It is detected that the host is in trouble, so a hidden task is started - to explore the lost mineral veins! Task reward: a large amount of rare materials!" Xiao Bei was secretly happy in his heart. This system always provides warmth at critical moments!

He remained calm on the surface and continued to carry the stones with Xiao Ning.

"Brother Xiao, do you think these broken stones can really work? Why do I feel so uneasy?" Xiao Ning muttered as he moved the stones.

Xiao Bei patted his shoulder in a pretentious manner: "Brother, you're being too narrow-minded! This isn't just a broken stone, it's a treasure! Let me tell you, this is called—low-key luxury with substance, understand?"

"I don't understand." Xiao Ning looked confused.

Xiao Bei chuckled: "That's right, you don't understand! Follow me and you'll have a good time!"

Suddenly, the system prompt sounded again: "Warning! The lost mine is located in an extremely cold place, the environment is extremely harsh, and it is guarded by ancient ferocious beasts. Danger level: five stars! Please proceed with caution!"

Xiao Bei took a breath, five stars?

This system is really shocking!

However, wealth and honor are achieved through risk!

What's more, my wife is by my side, so I have to show my boyfriend power!

"Xiao Ning, take these stones back first. I still have some things to deal with." Xiao Bei said calmly.

"What's the matter? You're so mysterious." Xiao Ning looked suspicious.

"Children, don't ask about men's affairs!" Xiao Bei blinked mysteriously.

After watching Xiao Ning leave, Xiao Bei turned to look at Bei Li, only to find that Bei Li was looking at him with a smirk on his face.

"Brother Xiao Bei, what are you secretly doing again?" Bei Li blinked his eyes with an expression that said "I know everything".

Xiao Bei touched his nose awkwardly: "Hehe, Li'er, you are so smart! You are worthy of being my wife!"

"Stop talking nonsense! Tell the truth!" Beili hit him lightly.

Xiao Bei had no choice but to tell her about the system task and the lost mineral vein.

"A five-star danger level? Are you crazy? You want to go to such a dangerous place!" Bei Li became anxious when he heard it.

"Li'er, don't worry, I'll be fine! I promise you, I will come back safely!" Xiao Bei looked into Bei Li's eyes seriously with a firm tone.

Beili was silent for a moment, then raised his head with a firm look: "Okay, I'll go with you!"

Xiao Bei was deeply moved and hugged Bei Li tightly.

"Let's go!" Xiao Bei took Bei Li's hand and walked towards the snowy and extremely cold land in the distance...

"Wait!" Beili suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Bei asked puzzledly.

Beili pointed ahead and said in a serious tone, "There..." Xiao Bei and Beili walked hand in hand towards the snowy and extremely cold land. Their backs looked particularly determined in the setting sun.

"Lier, are you cold?" Xiao Bei asked with concern.

"I'm not cold. My heart is warm with you by my side." Beili smiled sweetly and snuggled up to Xiao Bei.

The system prompt sounded again: "Warning! High-energy warning ahead! Suppressive forces have set up an ambush here!"

Xiao Bei's heart trembled. It seemed that these two guys were still lingering around!

But, you want to trick me?

There are no doors!

A sly smile appeared on Xiao Bei's lips.

"Li'er, there is danger ahead. Wait for me here. I'll be back soon." Xiao Bei gently touched Bei Li's head.

"No! I want to go with you!" Beili pouted, looking unhappy.

"Be good and listen to me. I will be back soon." Xiao Bei coaxed softly.

"Hmph! If you dare to leave me, I will... I will never talk to you again!" Beili stomped his feet and threatened.

"Okay, okay, I'll take you with me, okay?" Xiao Bei shook his head helplessly. There was really nothing he could do with this girl.

Xiao Bei held Bei Li's little hand and walked forward carefully.

Suddenly, there was a sound of breaking air from the front, and dozens of black shadows flew from all directions, surrounding Xiao Bei and Bei Li.

"Xiao Bei, you've finally been caught!" Suppressing Force A said with a sinister smile, "This time, I wonder where you can run!"

"Haha, you think you can stop me with just a bunch of you?" Xiao Bei sneered, with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

"Hmph! Stop showing off your verbal skills! Today I'll let you see how powerful we are!" Suppressing Force B shouted angrily and took the lead in launching an attack.

Xiao Bei was not in a hurry. He summoned his flying sword, which turned into a stream of light and moved freely among the crowd with Bei Li.

Sometimes he used sharp sword moves, sometimes he displayed strange body movements, toying with his enemies at the touch of a button.

"Xiao Bei, you...you cheated!" Suppressing Force A roared in frustration.

"All's fair in war, do you understand?" Xiao Bei laughed loudly, his figure flashed, and disappeared in the vast snowfield.

Suppressing forces A and B looked at each other in dismay, stamping their feet in anger. "Damn it! He got away!"

Xiao Bei brought Bei Li to a hidden cave and then heaved a sigh of relief.

"Huh, I finally got rid of them."

"Brother Xiao Bei, you are so awesome!" Bei Li looked at Xiao Bei with admiration, with little stars twinkling in her eyes.

"Hehe, it's no big deal!" Xiao Bei raised his eyebrows proudly.

After taking a short rest in the cave, Xiao Bei found the hidden source of materials according to the guidance of the system.

Although the quantity is not large, I finally got some results.

"System, are these materials enough?" Xiao Bei asked in his heart.

"Ding! Insufficient materials, more work is needed!" The system's cold reminder sounded.

Xiao Bei looked at the materials in his hand with a frown.

"It seems that I need to find a way to get more materials..."

Bei Li walked to Xiao Bei and gently held his hand: "Brother Xiao Bei, don't worry, we can do it!"

Xiao Bei looked at Bei Li's determined eyes, and his heart was filled with strength. "Li'er, thank you..."

Suddenly, a strange noise came from outside the cave, "Who's there?!"
