Long Road to Stardom

The old man saw that the fairy's expression had relaxed a lot, and the stone in his heart fell.

After playing with the stone for a while, Lin Xing looked at the old man and said, "Besides checking your granddaughter's spiritual roots, you can tell me any other requests you have, as long as I can do it."

"Thank you for your kindness, fairy. This is my only request, nothing else." The old man responded, suppressing all the thoughts in his mind.

"You are honest. I will naturally satisfy your small request."

After Lin Xing finished speaking, he took out a test ball and said to the little girl in front of him, "Little girl, put your hand on it."

The little girl looked at her grandfather, then at the fairy in front of her, and then put her hand on the test ball.

After a long while, the test ball didn't react at all. The old man felt very sorry, but he still pulled himself together and said to the fairy in front of him, "Thank you for your help, I will take my granddaughter back now."

After the old man finished speaking, he took his granddaughter to bid farewell to the fairy and left.

The little girl felt very sad when she saw her grandfather's disappointed face. She broke free from her grandfather's hand, ran to Lin Xing, knelt down and asked crisply, "Fairy sister, is it really impossible to cultivate immortality without spiritual roots?"

Looking at the little girl's hopeful eyes, although she couldn't bear it, she still said honestly, "At least in my understanding, you can't practice without spiritual roots, but this world is so big, maybe there are many things we don't know."

"Thank you, Fairy Sister, I understand."

The little girl bowed sincerely to the fairy in front of her, then she stood up and took her grandfather, who had hurried over and looked a little flustered, away.

"Wait a minute."

"Since I took something passed down from your ancestors, I should give you something in return, otherwise I will feel bad."

"Here, these are two jade pendants. Wearing them on your body will ensure you good health and a long life."

"Also, this is a cultivation technique. I'll give you a test ball as well. If your descendants detect someone with spiritual roots, they can use this technique to practice."

The old man looked at the fairy in front of him with some disbelief. After receiving an affirmative look, he tremblingly took the thing in the fairy's hand.

I wanted to kneel down to express my gratitude, but I found that my knees could not bend. Then I heard the fairy in front of me whisper, "It's just that each of us takes what we need. There's no need to do this."

"It's getting dark now, you should go back quickly."

"Also, don't tell anyone about what happened today. You should know that a man is innocent but guilty of possessing a treasure."

"If possible, I suggest you move to another place."

"Thank you for the suggestion, fairy. I will consider it."

After saying this, he thought about the attitude of the villagers towards him these days, and immediately decided to leave this place and live somewhere else, but he was also very regretful in his heart. This was the place where his ancestors had lived for generations, and he was reluctant to leave, but for the sake of future generations, he had to do so.

The old man's thoughts drifted away and when he looked over again, he found that the fairy in front of him had already left and disappeared. The box containing the stone was still on the ground, and there was a bottle of elixir in the box.

Picking up the box on the ground, he seemed to touch something, and a voice came into his ears, "This is a bottle of 'Qi Yang Pills'. As long as you still have a breath, take one pill and you will be safe."

The old man was somewhat moved. He clenched the medicine bottle in his hand, pulled his granddaughter to kneel down, and bowed deeply towards the place where the immortal left. Then he stood up, packed up his things, and walked towards home holding his granddaughter's hand.

Lin Xing didn't want to give away the pills at first, but later she saw that their attitudes were to her liking, so she took out the bottle of pills from her storage ring.

Inside was the semi-finished pills left over from her failed attempt at refining medicine. There was nothing wrong with giving them away.

Their bodies could not withstand the medicinal power of better pills, and this bottle was just suitable for mortals to use, so they kept it.

On this day, she was flying aimlessly on the road as usual looking for the place where monks gathered. Suddenly, she found that there were monks sweeping with their spiritual sense. Fortunately, their strength was much lower than hers, and she had restrained her breath before, so no one noticed her presence.

Under normal circumstances, she would definitely not come forward, but after searching for a few days without any clues, she decided to follow this person to find his destination.

When she found the person, she saw that there were several of them. After seeing their faces clearly, she was a little surprised.

"This is not the group she met in 'Jingyang City' before. They seem to be from the 'Red Moon Sect'."

Seeing where they were heading, Lin Xing knew they were heading towards "Jingyang City".

Lin Xing followed behind slowly. From their conversation, he learned that this group of people had originally returned to the Red Moon Sect, but later remembered that they had not completed the sect mission and turned back.

When we found the monks stationed in Jingyang City, we learned that all the things left by the evil cultivators had been cleared out, and we couldn't find any of them to complete the mission.

For a moment, they were all speechless. Although they didn't want to admit it, a big reason was that Nangong Qingcheng saw them leaving and turned back to deal with these things.

I just didn’t know whether Nangong Qingcheng had heard the conversation I had before I left, and I felt very uneasy.

Zhou Yushan was filled with deep regret. If he had known earlier, he would have stayed to deal with the aftermath. Not only would he have been able to complete the sect's mission, he might have been able to get the support of Nangong Qingcheng.

But it's too late to regret now. Nangong Qingcheng has probably left long ago. Is it possible that she will still stay here?

When Lin Xing heard these words, she didn't know whether to cry or laugh. Although she was not Nangong Qingcheng, the person they were looking for from their words was her, but she was not Nangong Qingcheng.

However, Wang Manrou, who was surrounded by them, had always suspected that the female cultivator was not Nangong Qingcheng, but no one believed her.

Especially when she saw the mortals in Jingyang City building a "Goddess Temple", she was furious. She pushed Jiang Xi who had been protecting her and said, "Brother Jiang, can you trust what I say?"

Jiang Xi was startled awake by the push, and looked at Wang Manrou with concern, "Junior sister, what's wrong with you? Who bullied you?"

Wang Manrou became even angrier when she heard this, and said a little aggrievedly, "Senior Brother Jiang, why don't you even listen to what I say?"

Seeing his junior sister like this, Jiang Xi suddenly felt a little overwhelmed and explained, "Junior sister, don't be like this. I just felt that someone was following us all the way, so I didn't pay attention to what you said."

"Brother didn't mean it."

When Wang Manrou heard this, she put away her aggrieved expression and asked seriously, "Brother Jiang, are you sure?"
