Chapter 171 Xiao Bei's strength rises sharply, and his glory and fame spread
What Xiao Bei took out from the storage bag was not a weapon, but a pile of spirit stones emitting a bright luster.
"This is my most precious treasure. I had been planning to keep it for breaking through the Nascent Soul stage, but it seems I can't care about that now." He smiled bitterly, but there was a determined light in his eyes.
"Xiaohuo, Beili, help me protect the law!"
After saying that, Xiao Bei sat cross-legged, quickly formed seals with his hands, and madly absorbed the spiritual energy in the spirit stone into his body.
The rich spiritual energy formed a huge vortex around him, emitting a buzzing sound.
Xiaohuo and Beili stood guard nervously by the side, not daring to breathe.
Bei Li would glance at Xiao Bei from time to time, his eyes full of worry, and he would mutter softly, "This guy is always working so hard..."
As time passed, Xiao Bei's aura became stronger and stronger.
The spiritual power in his body was like a surging river, constantly impacting the meridian barriers.
"Crack!" With a crisp sound, Xiao Bei broke through the middle stage of Jindan!
However, he did not stop and continued to absorb the spiritual energy from the spirit stone.
"Crack! Crack!" The continuous sound of breakthroughs rang out, like spring thunder, deafening.
Late stage of elixir formation!
The peak of Jindan!
The aura from Xiao Bei erupted like a volcano, and the surrounding trees were blown to and fro by this powerful force.
Xiaohuo and Beili were both frightened by this momentum and retreated repeatedly.
"This... this is too fast!" Xiaohuo widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief.
"The boss is simply a monster!" Although Beili was also shocked, he was more delighted.
"I knew this guy wouldn't let me down!" She clenched her fists tightly, her eyes gleaming with excitement.
Xiao Bei slowly opened his eyes, and two rays of light shot out, cutting through the void like sharp swords.
He felt the surging spiritual power in his body and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Finally... I've reached the peak of Jindan..." He stood up and stretched his muscles, making crackling sounds.
"Next..." He looked into the distance, his eyes filled with confidence and fighting spirit, "It's time to go meet those demon bastards!"
"Boss, wait for me!" Xiaohuo hurriedly followed.
Beili also followed Xiao Bei closely, her eyes full of admiration and love.
"This time, I want to fight with you!" she said in a firm tone.
Xiao Bei turned his head and looked at her, a hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes, "Okay." He stretched out his hand and held Bei Li's hand tightly.
Suddenly, the earth began to shake violently. In the distant sky, a black vortex spun faster and faster, and a suffocating pressure descended from the sky...
Xiao Bei looked up at the sky and his expression became solemn.
"Here it comes..." He muttered to himself, and his hand holding Beili tightened unconsciously.
The news that Xiao Bei had broken through to the peak of the Jindan stage swept across the entire world of immortal cultivation like a hurricane.
Those forces that had previously disdained or even ridiculed Xiao Bei and his small group have now changed their attitudes faster than turning the pages of a book.
The several small sects that had previously clamored to teach Xiao Bei a lesson were now terrified, fearing that Xiao Bei would take revenge on them later.
What's worse, some people even sent generous gifts directly, saying it was a "small token of appreciation", but in fact they were just trying to curry favor with the upper hand.
"Boss, look, this is the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum sent by the Qingfeng Sect, saying it's to congratulate you on your breakthrough." Xiaohuo said to Xiao Bei excitedly, holding an exquisite wooden box.
Xiao Bei glanced at it and said lightly: "Ten thousand year old Ganoderma lucidum? That's it? Are you sending away beggars?" He thought to himself: When I was just a small servant, these guys were arrogant. Now that they know I'm powerful, they rush to curry favor with me. They are really fence-sitters!
When Beili saw Xiao Bei's greatly increased strength, her eyes were full of stars, she was simply the ultimate form of a fangirl.
After Xiao Bei came out of confinement, she pounced on him and hugged him tightly, wishing she could hang on him completely.
"Xiao Bei, you are so awesome! You are my idol!" She said as she rubbed Xiao Bei's chest, feeling the powerful aura from him.
Xiao Bei felt a little embarrassed by Bei Li's sudden enthusiasm. He gently pushed her away and said, "Keep a low profile, just basic operations, basic operations." Although he said this, he was still happy in his heart. After all, who doesn't like to be admired?
"Hmph, you say one thing and mean another!" Beili glared at him coquettishly, then hung back like a koala.
"Ahem," Xiao Huo coughed awkwardly twice, "Boss, what should we do next?"
Xiao Bei touched his chin, a gleam in his eyes, "What's next..." He paused, a mysterious smile curled up at the corner of his mouth, "Have you heard of the Immortal Cultivation Conference?"
"Immortal Cultivation Conference?" Xiaohuo and Beili asked in unison.
"That's right, it's the annual immortal cultivation event where heroes from all walks of life gather together to display their strength and exchange experiences..." Xiao Bei paused deliberately, then said meaningfully, "It's time to let some people see what true strength is!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a melodious bell sound came from afar, echoing in the valley...
The Immortal Cultivation Conference was packed with people, gongs and drums were blaring, firecrackers were blasting, red flags were waving, and there were huge crowds of people...
Ahem, it’s a conspiracy.
In short, it was so lively!
All kinds of gods (in fact, most of them have not yet become gods) come to show their faces, compete with each other in strength, and by the way, go on blind dates and find a Taoist partner or something.
Xiao Bei made a low-key appearance with Bei Li and Xiao Huo.
She said she wanted to be low-key, but Beili was too clingy. She kept chirping all the way like a happy little sparrow, so it was hard for her to be low-key.
"Xiao Bei, look at that guy in red. Is he the one who tried to steal your spirit stones last time?"
"Xiao Bei, look at that guy flying with a sword over there, his posture is so handsome!"
"Xiao Bei, look..."
Xiao Bei held his forehead helplessly: "Beili, can you be quiet for a while? If someone doesn't know me, they would think I'm your bodyguard!"
Bei Li stuck out her tongue: "Isn't this too exciting? This is my first time attending such a grand Immortal Cultivation Conference!"
The meeting began with a few elders giving speeches, which were full of formalities and made Xiao Bei feel drowsy.
Finally, the competition phase came and Xiao Bei felt refreshed.
This competition takes the form of a ring match.
Masters of the same level fight against each other, and the winner advances.
Xiao Bei signed up for the Jindan stage competition. He wanted to see how strong the Jindan stage cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation were.
In the first match, the opponent was a burly man holding a huge axe and looking very aggressive.
Xiao Bei smiled slightly and didn't draw his sword at all. He just waved his hand lightly, and an invisible force knocked the strong man off the ring.
"Instant kill! It's an instant kill!" The audience exclaimed.
In the second match, the opponent was a delicate woman who was good at using illusions.
Xiao Bei pretended to be tricked and let the woman do whatever she wanted.
Just when the woman was feeling smug and thought she had won, Xiao Bei suddenly curled his lips and said, "Little sister, your illusion is too low-level." Before he finished speaking, the woman found herself in an illusion and could not move.
The third game, the fourth game...
Xiao Bei defeated all the enemies along the way and won easily as if he was cutting melons and vegetables.
His name spread like a virus and became the most dazzling presence at the Immortal Cultivation Conference.
"Xiao Bei, you are so awesome!" Bei Li jumped up excitedly and hugged Xiao Bei and gave him a kiss.
Xiaohuo was stunned watching from the side, secretly sighing in his heart: The boss is worthy of being the boss, this is so awesome!
At this moment, an old man in a purple robe slowly walked up to Xiao Bei, his eyes gleaming, "Your strength is extraordinary, I admire you. I wonder if you are interested in joining my Zixiao Sect?"
Before Xiao Bei could speak, another voice was heard: "What is the Zixiao Sect? My friend, joining my Tianjian Sect is the right way!" The speaker was an old woman with flowing white hair, holding a snow-white long sword, with an imposing aura.
More and more sect elders gathered around and extended olive branches to Xiao Bei.
Xiao Bei looked around, a playful smile on his face...
"Xiao Bei appreciates the kindness of the seniors..."
Xiao Bei smiled slightly and bowed, saying: "I appreciate the kindness of all the seniors. But I am used to living a free and unrestrained life and don't like being bound by constraints, so I have no plans to join any sect for the time being." As soon as he said this, the elders around him suddenly wilted like eggplants hit by frost.
However, they did not dare to force it. After all, Xiao Bei's current strength was enough to compete with some veteran strongmen, and no one wanted to offend this young man with unlimited potential.
Xiao Bei's strong rise also made his small group "Northern Territory" famous.
Those forces that had previously looked down on them have now changed their attitudes. Some gave gifts, some tried to get close to them, and they wanted to worship Xiao Bei.
The territory of the North also expanded several times, and resources continued to pour in, even faster than a money printing machine.
Xiaohuo, the boy, also rose to prominence, holding the spirit stone and laughing foolishly all day, muttering to himself, "I'm rich, I'm rich!"
Bei Li, as always, stuck to Xiao Bei like a little tail, never leaving his side.
"Xiao Bei, you are so awesome! Who in the entire cultivation world doesn't know your name now?" She looked at Xiao Bei with admiration, and little stars were almost popping out of her eyes.
Xiao Bei felt a little embarrassed by her gaze and scratched his head: "Keep a low profile, it's just basic operation."
However, a big tree attracts the wind, and Xiao Bei's rise also attracted the attention of some mysterious forces.
One night, Xiao Bei was practicing when he suddenly felt a powerful aura approaching.
He suddenly opened his eyes, and a hint of vigilance flashed in them.
"Who?"
A man in black appeared in front of him silently, his voice hoarse and low: "Xiao Bei, someone wants to see you." The man in black handed Xiao Bei a black token with a strange symbol engraved on it.
"Take this. Three days from now at midnight, go to the depths of the Sunset Forest and someone will pick you up." After saying that, the man in black disappeared into the night, as if he had never appeared.
Xiao Bei looked at the token in his hand with a frown.
The aura of this token made him feel very uneasy. This aura was both strange and familiar, as if he had felt it somewhere before...
He turned his head to look at Beili who was sleeping soundly, and a complicated look flashed in his eyes.
"It seems that there are some things that I have to face..." He put the token away, stood up and walked to the window, looking at the dark night sky, muttering to himself: "Sunset Forest... Who could be waiting for me?"
Three days later, deep in the Sunset Forest, a huge altar stood in the center, surrounded by countless strange-shaped stone pillars, and the air was filled with a strange atmosphere.
Xiao Bei followed the instructions of the man in black and came to the center of the altar.
Suddenly, the runes on the altar began to flicker, and a dazzling light shot up into the sky, enveloping Xiao Bei...
"This is..." Xiao Bei felt a powerful force sucking him into an unknown space...
"Beili..."
