"Damn it, thirteen days of this month have flown by, and I've only finished one quest—and even that was a random quest from Taibai Jinxing," Shen Bing couldn't help grumbling.
The pressure was crushing!
It wasn't that Shen Bing hadn't tried hard enough. These quests really were difficult.
Although the Gate to the Immortal Realm offered plenty of quests every day, very few were suitable for him.
Over the past few days, he had tried several quests he thought he might be able to complete. Without exception, every attempt had ended in failure.
For example, he had tried helping Li Tieguai find a treasure called Ten-Thousand-Year Blood Coral on the seabed of the East China Sea. Finding something should have been simple enough, right? Just like when he went to Iceflame Island to find Illusory Rainbow Immortal Crystal—hadn't he finished that with ease?
But this time, things had gone completely against his expectations. Within minutes of reaching the seabed, Shen Bing had died in spectacular fashion.
He had suffocated from lack of oxygen.
It all came down to his lack of strength. Although he had now acquired that damned cultivation system, the thing was nothing but a trap.
Other people could meditate and absorb heaven and earth spiritual qi. No matter how poor they were, their strength would still gradually increase.
But him? If he wanted more spiritual qi, he could only rely on external sources to force it into his body, such as eating spirit fruits or Immortal Pills.
With his meager resources, how could he bear to buy those things? He could only hope the seeds he had planted on Illusory Void Island would flower and bear fruit soon—uh, perhaps he should first hope they would sprout.
