Long Road to Stardom

"You are right, fellow Daoist, but there are so many coincidences, this is a bit unreasonable!" Qian Deyi looked at the female cultivator in front of him and asked back.

Lin Xing's tone paused, and then he said, "Daoyou, what you said makes sense."

She thought of the monk's appearance just now, and asked thoughtfully, "Just now I saw you looking like you were running for your life, but there was no one chasing you. So what happened ahead?"

"How do you know that no one is following us? You cannot use your spiritual sense at will in the ancient battlefield." Qian Deyi looked at Lin Xing inquiringly and asked.

Lin Xing's face turned cold, and he said unhappily, "I naturally have my own methods. Daoyou seems to have overstepped the mark."

Qian Deyi bowed and said apologetically, "I overstepped my bounds, but I know from you that I'm not being followed, so I can stay for a while and talk to you."

Lin Xing looked at the monk in front of him with an attentive look.

Qian Deyi didn't keep it a secret when he saw this. He opened his mouth slightly and said, "It's not a big deal. I just happened to run into a cultivator in the Fusion Stage who completely sucked out the spiritual energy of his companion, even his Nascent Soul and flesh and blood."

"I was also frightened, so I ran away in a panic."

After Qian Deyi finished speaking, he still felt nauseous when he recalled that scene. He suppressed the nausea in his heart and said to the female cultivator in front of him, "Daoyou, if you want to know other things, we can talk while walking. I'm not sure if that person has discovered me and caught up with me."

"Qian left first."

Just as Qian Deyi was about to leave, Lin Xing called out to him, "Fellow Daoist Qian, wait a moment. Can you tell me where that person is so I can get away from him?"

"And I see that the spiritual power in your body seems to be exhausted. I have just entered the ancient battlefield not long ago, and I have a lot of things on hand to restore the spiritual power in your body. If you are willing to tell me, I will give you this bottle of 'Resilience Pill' with both hands."

Qian Deyi's eyes lit up, and he retracted his outstretched foot. He said to Lin Xing with a smile, "Daoyou is really polite. Even if Daoyou didn't say it, I would have told you."

If she hadn't seen him about to run away, she would have believed what he said, but she didn't show any expression on her face. She smiled and said, "Daoyou is truly righteous. This bottle of 'Huiling Pill' is mine." After Lin Xing finished speaking, he threw the pill over.

Qian Deyi took the pill, paused and said, "That person is at the edge of the Yinfeng Forest, three thousand miles away in the southeast direction. Fellow Daoist, don't forget. Qian will go ahead."

"Fellow Daoist Qian, please take care. I'm sorry I can't see you off."

After the cultivator left the range of his spiritual awareness, Lin Xing used the "Shadow Splitting Technique" and saw an identical figure slowly appearing beside him.

Lin Xing controlled his clone to go in the direction the monk had just mentioned, then changed his own breath, attached a "hiding talisman", and when his body became transparent, he followed in the direction of the monk.

Just as she had guessed, the monk stopped after traveling about a thousand miles, and the panicked expression on his face no longer existed.

After waiting for a while, she saw the monk turn back.

Lin Xing saw it all.

She saw the man come to the place where she had stood before, holding a compass in his hand and seemed to be checking her location.

After waiting for a while, a look of joy appeared on his face. He put away the compass in his hand and flew towards the location of her clone.

Lin Xing also breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that this person would find her, so luckily she had kept a trick up her sleeve.

But now she wondered whether she should continue to follow him. This person was obviously trying to harm her and might have a backup plan.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Xing decided to stay where she was. She didn't want to put herself in danger.

She looked around and saw a relatively flat place not far away. She quickly came there, found a place to sit down, and concentrated on controlling the clone. Through the perspective of the shadow clone, she noticed that the previous monk was not far away from the shadow clone.

But this is not surprising. The shadow clone has only 50% of her strength at most, and its most important ability is to confuse people. Now she can only hope that this shadow clone can reach the location that person said and find out clearly.

Seeing that person getting closer and closer to her clone, the time of the "hiding talisman" she had previously attached to the shadow clone was about to expire. If she was discovered, she probably wouldn't be able to hold on. The shadow clone probably wasn't strong enough to withstand even one move.

"It would be great if the talisman could be transmitted over."

Lin Xing held his chin and thought about this possibility.

After thinking for a while, she decided to give it a try.

After setting up a simple defense array around her, she sat down cross-legged, took out the only 'Space Talisman' and activated it. The 'Space Talisman' slowly tore a hole not far behind the shadow clone.

Lin Xing immediately took out another 'Invisibility Talisman' and activated it, trying to fly out and pass through the hole in the 'Space Talisman'. However, in less than a breath, the hole in the 'Space Talisman' had healed, and the 'Invisibility Talisman' fell down without a target.

Taking the fallen 'Invisibility Talisman', Lin Xing adjusted his own state and began to gesture in the air with his fingers.

This was another type of rune, the 'Space Rune', that she had comprehended in the 'Forbidden Spirit Space'. She had drawn it before in the cave in the dense forest. But perhaps because of the lack of spiritual power in the ancient battlefield, she had never been able to draw it successfully on the rune paper.

But she did succeed several times in the void of the ancient battlefield, but her spiritual energy was severely depleted.

Lin Xing collected her thoughts and concentrated on gesturing in the air. After more than ten breaths, she was only a few strokes away from completing it, but her hands seemed to weigh a thousand pounds. Every stroke took up a lot of her strength. Her originally dry body was now soaked, and the sweat on her forehead dripped down like rain.

Suddenly, a blue light flashed, and a "space symbol" appeared at the position where Lin Xing gestured. The symbol of the "space symbol" turned into a blue light and slowly cut a hole at that position.

Lin Xing immediately transferred the "Hidden Talisman" through the hole and attached it to the shadow clone's body. The next second, the hole slowly healed.

This took only three breaths of time, which was two breaths longer than when she used the "space symbol" she had drawn herself.

But this consumed too much spiritual energy, draining away one-fifth of her spiritual energy.

While Lin Xing was recovering his spiritual power, he was watching the situation over there through his shadow clone.

Time passed slowly, and the shadow clone that was in front had been traveling for a long time and was actually overtaken by the cultivator in front. Fortunately, he sent the "Invisibility Talisman" over, otherwise he would have been discovered.

It’s better to fall behind now. Anyway, we are not too far away from that place, so we don’t have to check it out when we arrive at the location. It’s also a good choice to follow behind directly.
