Long Road to Stardom

The old man watched the immortal return to the house with a respectful look on his face until he disappeared from sight. Then he walked out of the house and called some villagers to come and take the food away.

Although the immortals only tasted a little of the food, they still felt it was a great honor that the immortals were willing to eat the food they prepared. It was getting late now, so they would distribute the food equally to everyone in the village tomorrow so that everyone could get a taste of the immortal spirit.

After moving all the things away, the old man carefully closed the door and gave a few instructions to the villagers before slowly walking towards his home, with an expression of joy that he could not hide on his face.

Lin Xing was inside the house and had a clear view of the situation outside. He smiled helplessly, set up a simple barrier, and sat cross-legged on the bed to meditate and restore his spiritual power.

Time flies, and three days passed in a flash. Half of the spiritual power in the body was restored.

However, the main purpose of staying here is to observe whether there is any other situation in the 'Sophora japonica forest'.

Three days had passed, and there had indeed been no movement from the 'Sophora japonica forest'. She felt relieved and thought it was time to leave.

When Lin Xing walked out of the room, he saw the old man and the people from the whole village waiting outside.

As soon as she appeared, everyone knelt down and shouted in unison, "Thank you for saving our lives, fairy. Please accept our greetings."

After saying this, they all bowed down in unison.

This was the first time that Lin Xing encountered such a situation. He had an indescribable strange feeling in his heart, but this feeling seemed to be quite good. In order to prevent them from doing something that would make him uncomfortable, he cleared his throat and changed the subject, saying, "While everyone in your village is here, we can test whether you have spiritual roots. What do you think?"

As soon as the voice fell, the scene fell silent for a while, but soon there was a mixed sound of surprise and joy, and everyone knelt down on the ground and shouted loudly, "Thank you, fairy."

Lin Xing felt like he was shooting himself in the foot. He forced a smile and said, "Time is running out. Everyone line up and come in teams of five for the test."

After saying this, he turned back into the house without waiting for the villagers' answer, and with a wave of his hand, he laid out the things needed for the test.

Soon someone came in to test it. Lin Xing briefly explained the operation and sat aside watching the villagers come for the test.

An hour later, everyone in the village, big and small, was tested, but unfortunately no one had spiritual roots.

She was not surprised by this result. On the contrary, some villagers could not accept it and only calmed down after being scolded by the old man.

But she still heard a mumbling voice, "There are so many people but no one is here. Could someone have done something wrong?"

Lin Xing's face turned cold and he looked over coldly. The man suddenly felt a huge pressure and fell to his knees with a puff. Blood kept flowing from his mouth and his eyes were full of fear.

The old man cried out inwardly that this was not good, and quickly knelt on the ground to beg for mercy. The other villagers also knelt on the ground and echoed, "We beg the fairy to spare his life."

Lin Xing turned a deaf ear to him, played with a strand of her hair and chuckled, "Am I too easy to talk to, and made you forget yourself?"

In an instant, everyone fell silent and looked at the fairy in front of them with trepidation.

"Ah…"

Lin Xing chuckled and stood up, glancing at everyone. The weather was like the coldest time of the year, making people feel freezing cold.

"You have done pretty well these days, so I will spare your lives this time. If you do this next time, I won't be so nice to you."

"As for doing something, do you think I need to do that?"

After Lin Xing finished speaking, he picked up one of the test balls on the table. After a while, two bright lights, one red and one green, flashed out of the test ball, which was very beautiful.

She was also a little puzzled. Why was the light displayed by the test ball much brighter than when it was first tested? Logically, there should not be any changes.

Lin Xing suppressed the doubts in his heart, put away the things, and disappeared in front of everyone without even looking at them again.

After she left, the people kneeling down were filled with regret. As for the injured man, everyone seemed to act in unison and left the place without even a glance at him.

After a few more days, the villagers became more and more resentful and simply drove the man out of the village, leaving the others to fend for themselves, without noticing the man's resentful eyes at all.

Lin Xing was completely unaware of this. She only gave them a light punishment and a stern warning to teach them a lesson so that they would not be confused when they met other cultivators in the future, which would be really a way to seek death.

After leaving the village, she once again went to the nearby "Acacia Forest" to investigate. Indeed, she did not find anything. She was about to leave this place to look for the land where the monks of this continent lived, but she was stopped by a voice, "Fairy, wait."

Lin Xing turned around and saw the two people who had met the grandfather and grandson outside the "Sophora japonica forest" and asked curiously, "Why are you here?"

The old man pulled his granddaughter and said with a wry smile, "Since I returned to the village, the villagers saw that I had become younger and thought that I had benefited from the fairy, so their attitude towards us became much worse."

"The fairy lives in the village, and we are not allowed to get close to her. We are afraid that we might steal whatever the fairy bestows upon us."

"I have no choice but to bring my granddaughter here every day during the day to try my luck and hope to see the fairy again."

"I never thought that I would really wait for the fairy."

After the old man said this, he couldn't help feeling a little excited.

Lin Xing had never expected that a casual burst of his life energy would change the living conditions of others, and he felt somewhat guilty about it.

No wonder the books I've read often mentioned that monks cannot interfere too much in worldly affairs because the impact would be too great. Only those who have no hope of a breakthrough would want to come to the world to enjoy themselves.

But thinking about the behavior of those villagers just now, she looked at the old man in front of her with some displeasure and asked, "Now that we have met, what do you want from me?"

The old man looked at the fairy with a bad face, and was a little hesitant about whether to say it out loud. But when he saw his granddaughter, he mustered up the courage and said, "In addition to thanking the fairy for saving my life in person, I also want to ask the fairy to see if my granddaughter has the qualifications to cultivate immortality."

"I am willing to present something passed down from my ancestors to the fairy."

After saying this, he opened the bag on his back, revealing a square box inside. The old man picked up the box and respectfully handed it to the immortal in front of him.

Lin Xing took the box and opened it, and saw that there was a fist-sized stone inside.

When she picked up the stone in the box, she noticed that this stone was a bit heavier than normal stones, but the surface was too dark for her to tell what it was.

A ray of spiritual fire popped out, and the stone was not damaged at all, except that the dark surface became a little lighter.

Lin Xing's face showed joy, he felt that he had picked up a treasure again, and he became friendly to the grandfather and grandson.
