Long Road to Stardom

Lin Xing decided to go to the Alchemy Hall to take on some alchemy tasks to solve the shortage of her own elixirs. She is now a foundation-building cultivator with spiritual awareness. With spiritual awareness, alchemy should be easier than before.

The seniors in the Hall of Affairs were a little surprised to see that the disciple in front of them was already in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment just now choosing a cave dwelling, but it was fleeting and Lin Xing did not notice it.

He then took out a map and asked Lin Xing to choose a cave to live in on the hillside of Danfeng Mountain.

Lin Xing looked carefully at the marks on the map. The red ones indicated that someone had chosen it, and the green ones indicated that no one had chosen it yet.

After thinking for a while, she chose a place above her current residence, took the cave token, and immediately returned to her residence to pack her things.

When she was almost at her residence, she saw a young girl waving at her frantically outside her residence from afar.

Lin Xing came to the girl soon.

"I'll wait until you come back."

When Mu Xiaoxiao saw Lin Xing in front of her, she couldn't wait to complain to her, "I've been here several times this year, and every time I came, I saw a sign outside your door saying 'Practicing in seclusion'. I came again today and called for a long time but you weren't there. I was about to go back, but you just happened to come back."

Lin Xing looked puzzled, "You have come to me so many times, is there something wrong?"

Mu Xiaoxiao waved her hand and said, "I have arranged to go to the Dark Forest with a few people to complete the sect mission. I came to ask if you want to go with me so that I can look after you."

"Can't a sect mission be completed by one person?" As soon as the words came out, Lin Xing felt that he had asked a stupid question.

Mu Xiaoxiao looked at the person in front of her who was two years younger than her. She didn't think it was strange for her to ask this question. Seeing her confused expression, she explained, "You don't know this, right? There are basically herbs guarding the monsters. Some tasks require monster corpses, and some require herbs. So it's normal for several people to do tasks together. If you contribute a lot, you can ask others for help, right?"

After hearing what she said, Lin Xing nodded, "That's right."

Seeing her suddenly enlightened look, Mu Xiaoxiao decided to take better care of her younger companion. "I'm going to the Dark Forest to pick spiritual herbs in a couple of days. Do you want to come with me?"

Lin Xing shook his head and said, "I just came back from the Hall of Affairs and was preparing to pack up and move to another place. I still have a lot of things to do, so I can't go with you."

Mu Xiaoxiao was a little confused when she heard this, "Can we change the location of where we live at will? How come I don't know this?"

Lin Xing was just about to say...

"Hey, you have established your foundation!" Mu Xiaoxiao exclaimed. She was shocked to see that the person in front of her, who was younger than her, had already established his foundation.

Lin Xing looked at the dazed girl in front of him and waved his hand in front of her face.

Mu Xiaoxiao came back to his senses and said seriously, "When I come back from the Dark Forest this time, I will save enough contribution points to exchange for the Foundation Establishment Pill. Then I will also go into seclusion to break through the Foundation Establishment."

After hearing this, Lin Xing seemed to feel that he had hit the girl in front of him, so he took out two bottles of pills from his storage bag and handed them to her, saying, "These are the pills I didn't use up when I was building my foundation. I'll give them to you since there's still a little left."

She didn't dare to say that she had built her foundation naturally. Since the elixirs in the Qi Refining Stage had little effect on her now, she just considered it as a favor.

Mu Xiaoxiao took the pill and felt a little touched. She looked into Lin Xing's eyes and said, "Lin Xing, I will not let you down. I will definitely succeed in building my foundation."

"..."

Suddenly, a hug came over him. Lin Xing had the inertia to slap the person away. Then a voice rang in his ears, "I'll go back and make preparations. And thank you for the pill. I'll return it to you when I can refine it."

Lin Xing was about to say something when the girl let go of her and turned away. She swallowed the words she was about to say, turned around, swiped her identity token at the door, and returned to her residence.

She tidied up the things in the room, put them in order, and looked again to make sure nothing was left behind. Then she went to the open space outside the door and put away all the wooden stakes. The herbs in the spiritual field that had reached their prime were also placed in boxes. Many herbs that were not yet ripe were carefully transplanted out and planted in new places.

The spiritual field was very small and it was ready in a short time.

Since I established my foundation and gained spiritual awareness, everything I do has become much easier.

After leaving the residence, Lin Xing looked back deeply, then turned around and left without looking back.

Afterwards, she went to the Hall of Things again to return the token of her previous residence, and then came to a mountain wall according to the markings on the map.

Lin Xing took out his newly acquired token and shone it towards the mountain wall. The mountain wall slowly dissipated like water ripples, revealing a man-made passage. The top of the passage was inlaid with many moonstones according to a certain pattern.

Walk through the passage and come to a cave.

In this cave, the spiritual energy is very abundant. When I was outside just now, I didn’t feel it at all. There is such rich spiritual energy, more than twice as much as in my previous residence.

Lin Xing looked around the cave. It was obviously man-made. The walls of the cave were inlaid with moonstones of different colors, arranged in a very regular pattern.

On one side of the cave, there is a small pool, not big but very deep. Abundant spiritual energy emanates from the water. Could it be the legendary spiritual spring? Could this be the grand project of the First Sect?

Lin Xing released his spiritual sense to cover the entire cave. The space inside the cave was quite large. There was a spiritual plant area, a living room, a training room, a spiritual beast garden, and an alchemy room. Although it was not big, it had everything you need.

She found that there was nothing in the cave except some daily necessities, and it was obvious that no one had ever lived there.

Lin Xing put his things in order, and the place looked a little more like someone was living there. He then carefully transplanted the spiritual herb seedlings to the spiritual planting area and used some spiritual spring water to irrigate them. The herbs that had wilted instantly became lively again.

After transplanting the spiritual herbs, she found that two-thirds of the spaces were still empty, so she took out spiritual herb seeds and scattered them in the unplanted spaces.

After working for a while, I looked at the cave and it finally looked like someone was living there.

Walking into the Spirit Beast Garden, Lin Xing suddenly thought of the monster eggs he had obtained in the 'Dark Forest'.

After rummaging through the storage bag for a while, he found the monster egg. He took out the monster egg and dripped a drop of blood on it. The blood was absorbed the moment it fell, so it must not be a rotten monster egg.

After Lin Xing placed the monster eggs, he left the spirit beast garden and went to the living room.

Looking around, there was a bed in the living room, a cabinet next to the bed for placing things, and a wooden pillow on the bed.

Lin Xing picked up the wooden pillow and stroked it gently with his hand. The wooden pillow was exquisitely carved on the surface and felt slightly cool to the touch. He didn't know what kind of wood it was made of, but it made him feel calm and focused.

Lin Xing put the wooden pillow back on the bed and lay down on it. She hadn't had a good sleep for a long time. Not long after she lay down, she fell into a deep sleep.
