When system cheat becomes rampant!-Chapter 540 - 405
Chapter 540: 405
“Five Pieces of Stone, such a blunt name. Could there really be just five rocks?”
Xiang Beifei weighed the two tiles in his hands, feeling puzzled. If that was the case, where were the remaining three tiles?
Besides, what was so special about these tiles?
He held one tile in each hand. Upon first glance, the tiles seemed ordinary, except they were extremely hard. Xiang Beifei had tried bending them last time, using various methods, but had not managed to break them.
Back then, he was only at the Meridian Opening stage, but now, with his God Refining mid-stage cultivation, he tried again and still couldn’t break them. Their hardness exceeded his imagination.
He knocked the two tiles together.
Thud!
A dull sound echoed from the black tiles, and following their collision, a golden pattern emerged covering the entirety of both tiles!
The golden pattern flashed and disappeared before Xiang Beifei could make out what it was.
“Eh?”
He knocked the tiles together again, and the golden pattern reappeared. This time he saw it clearly; the pattern was on the tiles. If observed closely, one could see that the pattern was continuous where the two tiles touched.
Just from the pattern, it was hard to say what it resembled—possibly some sort of feathered pattern or maybe clouds, but since the golden pattern wasn’t comprehensive, it was hard to be certain.
He brought the two tiles together from different angles and discovered that no matter from which position they touched, the golden pattern remained unchanged.
Clearly, to see the complete pattern clearly, he first needed to gather the rest of the tiles.
“Five Pieces of Stone, that’s even more arbitrary than the name I picked for Erha!”
Xiang Beifei had a multitude of questions in his mind. He didn’t understand how the stone bound in his Spirit Gathering Book was just like the tile that came out of his grandfather’s system.
Obviously, this wasn’t an item from the system since the tile had no system fluctuations and was immune to the system’s abilities and spiritual power—this much was certain.
So, all Xiang Beifei could guess was that his grandfather must have obtained this tile from somewhere and stored it in his system space. Only, something unexpected happened that day, causing the tile to fall out and hit him on the head.
Beyond that, Xiang Beifei couldn’t think of any other reasonable explanation.
“Such hard material is indeed quite rare,” Xiang Beifei remarked.
“Roar! Roar!”
The Wooden Kirin jumped up and down beside him, not believing this outcome, thinking it could definitely break the tile.
“Then you try it and see if you can handle it.”
Xiang Beifei tossed the tile to the Wooden Kirin.
Eager to test itself, the Wooden Kirin swiftly grabbed the tile and, unable to wait, bit and scratched at the tile as its potent spiritual power blasted out, greeting the tile with all it had.
However, the tile remained completely calm, uncracked and unshaken, untouched by Erha’s antics and not even losing the black dust from its surface.
“Roar! Roar!”
The Wooden Kirin grew even more frustrated and increased its efforts, harshly mangling it.
Xiang Beifei just watched the Wooden Kirin struggling foolishly with the tile, his mouth twitching. This tile, after all, was something only a mid-stage God Refining seal could suppress, a level higher than this fool, so how could it be easily damaged?
He casually tossed the other piece toward it: “Here, scratch both. There’s a golden pattern too.”
The second tile traced an arc in the air, quickly striking the first tile, and then—
Thud!
The golden pattern flowed again from where the two tiles collided, but before the Wooden Kirin could react, the pattern suddenly spread from the tile, reaching its hooves and then up its body!
“Roar—”
The Wooden Kirin hadn’t finished bellowing when it suddenly rolled its eyes back and collapsed with a thud!
“Eh?”
Xiang Beifei looked in surprise at the foolish creature sprawled on the ground, tongue lolling and eyes rolling, because a gold pattern like a dense spider web had clearly appeared on its blue body.
For some reason, its entire spiritual power had quieted down, as if it were bound and unable to move, visibly unconscious.
Yet the two tiles were still maintaining the collision position, one corner resting on the other tile as if standing independently, without falling over, suspended in mid-air.
“This is weird.”
Xiang Beifei bent down and took the colliding tiles out of the foolish creature’s embrace, picking up one while the Wooden Kirin still embraced the other. As soon as the tiles separated, the golden pattern quickly faded from the Wooden Kirin’s body.
“—Roar!”
The Wooden Kirin suddenly opened its eyes wide, confused as it got up, finishing the cry it hadn’t completed before, and looked at the tile in its embrace, seemingly unaware of why it had suddenly passed out.
“You seem to have a thick hide; let me try again.”
Xiang Beifei tossed the tile he was holding back into the arms of the Wooden Kirin.
Thud!
The tiles collided again, and the golden pattern reappeared. Before the Wooden Kirin could manage to throw the tile away, it rolled its eyes back again and collapsed!
Its whole body was once again trapped in the golden pattern!
“Impressive!”
Xiang Beifei’s eyes lit up.
This was a true weapon of mass destruction! He had no idea the tile was this effective.
You should know the Wooden Kirin might be a bit dim-witted, but initially, it had devoured the spiritual power crystals of seven early-stage God Refining seals before it escaped. It’s different from other constellations; while others break their seals, it swallows spiritual power crystals and then strengthens itself to break the seal.
Last time, as soon as it broke free, it was able to exchange blows with Ye Changfeng, who was at the mid-stage of God Refining! Recently, Xiang Beifei had thrown it some spiritual power crystals from the God Refining stage that he couldn’t use himself, making it even stronger than when it had first emerged!
However, facing this brick, it rolled its eyes back from a single “thud”?
“These Five Pieces of Stone seem to be not entirely useless, I need to study them a bit,” Xiang Beifei suddenly became interested and picked up the brick that was standing upright.
The golden patterns quickly dissipated from the Wooden Kirin’s body, and by then, the Wooden Kirin had already recovered.
This brick is toxic!
It desperately swung its hooves trying to throw the brick away, and then Xiang Beifei hit it again with another brick on top of the one in its embrace!
Thud!
The Wooden Kirin rolled its eyes and fell down again!
This time Xiang Beifei took both bricks away, and once the bricks were removed from the Wooden Kirin’s body, the golden patterns on its body also vanished, but the golden patterns on the bricks were still there.
The Wooden Kirin then opened its eyes. It roared twice in a “woe is me” manner and ran off, clearly terrified by the brick, and disappeared in a flash.
“Hold on, cooperate with my research.”
Xiang Beifei took a step forward and instantly appeared above the Wooden Kirin running in the sky on his flying sword. His speed was much faster than the silly creature. Just as the Wooden Kirin looked up, Xiang Beifei gently placed the two joined bricks on the Wooden Kirin’s horn.
Thud!
This time there wasn’t even a hit, just a muffled sound, and then golden patterns fell onto the Wooden Kirin, it rolled its eyes back and lost consciousness, plummeting from the sky.

The strangest part was that the two bricks, sticking like glue, also firmly adhered to the body of the Wooden Kirin and it crashed into the ground with a “boom,” creating a large pit.
Yet such a huge tremor did not shake the bricks loose at all; it was as if whoever they fell on, they stuck to.
“Goodness! This thing is effective.”
Xiang Beifei picked up the bricks, and the Wooden Kirin, doubtful and wary, immediately sprung up again. Its thick skin protected it from harm when falling from a hundred meters, but it was definitely scared by these two bricks and ran off again.
“Why are you running! Let me study a bit! You have thick skin anyway!”
“Wow! Wow!” the Wooden Kirin cursed loudly.
“I’ll give you a spiritual power crystal from the late stage of Meridian Opening as a compensation!”
“Wow! Wow!” the Wooden Kirin bargained.
“But I don’t have any from the mid-stage of God Refining left; you’ve swallowed them all!”
“Wow! Wow!”
“No way, that piece of Xuanguang Armor from the early stage of God Refining is meant for Kong Xiuwen!”
“Wow! Wow!”
“That one is reserved for Lu Zhiwei, you silly creature!”
Xiang Beifei flung his hand—
Thud!
The Wooden Kirin rolled its eyes back and fell again.
“How nice it would be if you just cooperated with me instead of running.”
Xiang Beifei looked at the bricks sticking to the back of the Wooden Kirin’s mane. Strangely, the mane of the Wooden Kirin was very graceful and soft, flopping down under pressure, but when he placed the two bricks on the mane, they didn’t push the hairs down but lightly stood on the tips, but even just that caused the golden patterns to incapacitate the Wooden Kirin.
“But why doesn’t it affect me when I touch them?”
Xiang Beifei didn’t quite understand. Normally, after he unlocked a constellation, he would use his own cultivation technique to imprint it, which allowed him to control the powers within the constellation. But so far, he had not imprinted one of the bricks because spiritual power was ineffective on it.
That is to say, these two bricks still didn’t belong to him.
Yet he had been chasing the Wooden Kirin around with these two bricks all this while, “thudding” Erha several times, but they didn’t trouble him.
Xiang Beifei looked at the Wooden Kirin lying on the ground rolling its eyes and looked around, noticing a golden kite flying towards him in the sky, and waved at it.
The golden kite, initially searching for prey in the sky, lit up with excitement in its sharp little eyes upon seeing Xiang Beifei waving.
This human had no spiritual power fluctuations, looked white and tender, and seemed delicious!
It screeched sharply and dived towards Xiang Beifei, ready to turn this ignorant human into its lunch.
It had just dived down when it felt a gust of wind surging past, propelling it even faster as if riding the wind.
Heaven helps me too!
The golden kite was still rejoicing when it realized that as it dived towards the human, something violently yanked it, and it suddenly couldn’t move, caught by surprise!
“Come, let’s experiment happily together.”
Xiang Beifei grabbed the neck of the golden kite and then tossed it towards the two bricks.
The golden kite hadn’t even had time to react before it crashed onto the Wooden Kirin, attempting to spread its wings to fly away, only to find a golden pattern quickly spreading towards it from the Wooden Kirin.
Then “thud”!
It rolled its eyes back and fell down.
“Huh? It’s contagious?”
Xiang Beifei was very surprised.
