Long Road to Stardom

I wanted to let these monks finish the job, but I didn't expect them to run away one by one.

Lin Xing sighed, but his hands moved quickly to clean up the things left by the evil cultivators in the city, collected the useful things, and burned all the dead bodies.

About an hour later, she had finally cleaned up everything, and the mortals in the city gradually woke up.

Seeing this, Lin Xing left directly to outside the city in order to avoid trouble.

After checking several locations, I didn't see anything special and started to feel confused.

"Could it be that my judgment was wrong?"

Just as I was about to go to the next place, I suddenly heard a small cry for help coming from the place I had explored before.

Lin Xing immediately rushed to the place where the cry for help came from.

As soon as she arrived at the place, she noticed a flash of evil spirit passing by. When she tried to look for the trace, she found nothing. Could it be related to these two people?

Lin Xing's alarm bells immediately rang, and he observed silently.

"Grandpa, Grandpa, wake up..."

I saw a little girl less than ten years old hugging an old man, begging God in tears, hoping that her grandfather would wake up.

The old man seemed to notice the little girl's cry, and his fingers moved slightly. After a while, she woke up slowly.

"Grandpa, you woke up..."

"Dear granddaughter, grandpa is fine, don't cry." After saying this, he tried to raise his hand to wipe the tears from the little girl's face, but he couldn't touch her.

Lin Xing watched all this coldly from behind. After observing for a while, he realized that these two people were indeed not evil cultivators in disguise. A stream of life energy shot out from between his fingers and entered the old man's body.

The old man, who looked like he didn't have much time left, looked visibly better with this life energy. Some black hair actually grew on his gray hair, and the wrinkles on his face became much lighter.

The old man was also surprised at the changes in his body. Before, he could clearly feel that he didn't have much time left, but now he felt that it would not be a problem for him to live another ten or twenty years.

Soon his question was answered, as a woman appeared beside him.

After taking a look at him, he immediately lowered his head, hugged his granddaughter tightly, knelt on the ground, and said tremblingly, "Thank you fairy for saving my life."

Although the little girl didn't understand why her grandfather did this, she still imitated her grandfather's actions and said in a baby voice, "Thank you, fairy, for saving my life."

"Hmm...? You have seen other monks before."

"Reporting to the fairy, I went to 'Jingyang City' more than 60 years ago and happened to meet the fairy who was recruiting disciples. I was fortunate to see him once."

"It's a pity that I am not blessed enough and don't have the spiritual roots that the immortals talked about." The old man said, his tone full of regret.

"'Jingyang City'? The city previously controlled by the evil cultivator seems to be called 'Jingyang City'."

Lin Xing's expression froze, and he continued to ask, "Then why are you here, and how did you get injured?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the old man cried and begged, "Fairy, please save our village!"

"Tell me more about it!"

"Originally, our village has always lived in peace and harmony, but in recent months, a child has disappeared every few days."

"We searched every corner of the village but still couldn't find any news. The villagers then organized people to search for them in the 'Sophora japonica forest' on the mountain, but they never came out after entering the 'Sophora japonica forest'."

"I have been outside the 'Locust Tree Forest' for three days and I haven't seen them. My son is also inside. I was a little worried, so I ran in to look for them."

"But I don't know what happened. As soon as I entered the 'Acacia Forest', my body kept moving inside uncontrollably, and my consciousness gradually became blurred. When I woke up, I saw the fairy standing by the side."

After listening to this, Lin Xing pondered for a moment and then asked, "Where is the 'Acacia forest' you mentioned?"

"Fairy, you are not far behind me." The old man said hurriedly.

Lin Xing looked over there and said, "Are you sure you're in the right location?"

"Fairy, I dare not lie to you. Our village has lived here for generations and we are very familiar with the surrounding environment. It is impossible for us to recognize the wrong place."

"But I don't think there's anything unusual about that location. Stand up and see if the location you're talking about is correct."

Upon hearing this, the old man slowly stood up, still keeping his head down, not daring to look at the fairy in front of him any longer.

He turned around and then raised his head.

"This...this...how come the 'Acacia Forest' disappeared?"

The old man cried out in surprise, and quickly knelt down and said, "Fairy, I really don't know why the 'Acacia Forest' suddenly disappeared. I really didn't lie to you."

As if remembering something, the old man suddenly stood up and walked to the big tree next to him, pointed at a mark on it and said, "Look, fairy, this is the mark I made when I was a kid playing here. The 'Acacia forest' is not far from this tree."

"I really don't know why the 'Acacia Forest' suddenly disappeared. If you don't believe me, just ask someone in our village and you will know that I am not lying to you."

The old man wanted to say something again, but a voice rang in his ear, "I'll trust you once. If you dare to lie to me, the consequences will not be something you can bear."

After Lin Xing finished speaking, he placed a restriction on the old man and his granddaughter, which would allow them to die with just a thought.

Although there is a high chance that they are not evil cultivators in disguise, the methods used in the world of immortal cultivation are endless, so we still have to be on guard.

The old man had no complaints about this, but rather felt fortunate.

The immortals he saw in Jingyang City when he was a child were not as kind as this fairy. At that time, a man accidentally touched a corner of the immortal's clothes and was flung away, with his meridians broken and he became a disabled person. Although he did not die, it was more painful than death.

It is really sad to see such a promising young man ruined.

The family behind the young man had influence throughout the entire Jingyang City, but they dared not speak out and had to swallow the loss. After all, any random immortal could destroy their entire family.

The old man was immersed in his thoughts when suddenly a voice came, "Take your granddaughter back. I will come to find you when I come out."

When the old man heard this, he came to his senses, bowed deeply in the direction of Lin Xing, and then took his granddaughter towards the village.

After watching them leave, Lin Xing walked towards the place the old man mentioned.

As soon as I stepped in, the originally lush and green forest turned into a gloomy locust tree.

Lin Xing was already accustomed to this kind of scene, and his face looked calm. However, this locust tree could actually block the scanning of spiritual consciousness. No wonder he hadn't noticed this place before, and this place actually formed a natural formation.

If she hadn't been here, she really wouldn't have noticed it at all.
