Long Road to Stardom

Every time a monk robs someone, he will conceal his appearance, figure, and aura, which is slightly similar to her current outfit. This is also one of the reasons why the monks in 'Changyuan Town' are afraid.

Because Changyuan Town had been robbed many times, the original garrisoner here was only a cultivator in the late Jindan stage, who later gradually became a cultivator in the middle Yuanying stage.

With the presence of a mid-Nascent Soul cultivator, there had not been any robberies for a long time.

However, in the previous robberies, the monks only robbed shops, and many monks followed behind and picked up a lot of good things, which meant that there were quite a lot of monks in a relatively remote town.

More monks meant more business opportunities and spirit stones to be earned, so shop owners were reluctant to leave. However, they also learned to be smart and did not put expensive items in this town, so they earned a lot of spirit stones, enough to make up for what had been robbed before. In this way, a closed loop was formed, creating such a town.

Not long after, the shop owner came hurriedly with a pile of booklets.

"Well, she didn't express herself clearly. It seems that the shopkeeper brought all the jade slips that recorded the sales in the past!"

Looking at the pile of jade slips, Lin Xing's mouth twitched, and he glanced at the shopkeeper coldly, frightening the shopkeeper standing in front of him so much that he broke out in a cold sweat and said hurriedly, "Senior, the jade slips that record everything about our shop in Changyuan Town are all here, and there is absolutely no deception."

Lin Xing suddenly felt very tired and asked the shopkeeper not to disturb him.

When the shopkeeper heard this, he retreated immediately.

"This... Is she so scary? She runs faster than a rabbit." Lin Xing was very puzzled.

But it’s good that no one is watching, so I don’t have to be so serious.

Lin Xing leaned back in his chair, picked up a jade slip and placed it between his eyebrows.

After a while, she went over the contents of the jade slip in her mind.

I wonder if the shopkeeper deliberately mixed in some jade slips that recorded what happened in Changyuan Town.

She finally understood why the monks here had behaved so strangely along the way.

After reading the jade slip, she knew she couldn't stay there any longer, so she stood up and disappeared right back to the inn. She took back the formation plates and flags used to set up the formation, and removed the restrictions in the room one by one.

After packing up everything, Lin Xing didn't stay for long and left Changyuan Town directly without even returning the spirit stones.

Not long after she left, the mid-Nascent Soul cultivator stationed in Changyuan Town finally showed up, but when he arrived, the place was already empty.

……

"Master, something terrible has happened. The situation has changed. A cultivator who has reached the late Nascent Soul stage and reached the Great Perfection has arrived in Changyuan Town."

"What did you say…"

"Do you know the origin of that monk, or is he just passing by 'Changyuan Town'?"

"Master, according to the report from the brothers who are staying in Changyuan Town, the Nascent Soul Master seems to have been invited to be a guest by the military officials stationed in Changyuan Town."

"It seems that this operation can only be put on hold for the time being." An old man who looked to be in his seventies said helplessly.

"Master, you absolutely cannot do this. Your injuries cannot be delayed any longer."

"The escort of this 'Xuan Yin Holy Flower' to 'Changyuan Town' is our only chance to take action."

"An opportunity to take action?"

"There is a Nascent Soul cultivator there now. Even if all of us sacrifice our lives, we still cannot get that sacred flower back. So we shouldn't die in vain."

"Let's just leave it at that. Don't mention it again." After the old man in his seventies said this, he seemed to be deflated and looked much older, but his eyes were full of unwillingness.

"Master, what can we do now?"

"Go and bring me the treasures and spirit stones you have acquired over the years. I am going to visit an alchemist."

"Master, your injury can be healed by more than just the 'Xuan Yin Holy Flower'. What is your purpose in seeking the alchemist?"

"The 'Xuan Yin Holy Flower' is the reward for the top three in this Alchemist Conference. Since we can't get the 'Xuan Yin Holy Flower', we can only take another path."

"Master, how can you be sure that this alchemist can enter the top three? What if he fails..."

Ma Cheng did not continue speaking. The old man in his seventies knew what he meant when he heard this. However, when he met this alchemist, he was already a sixth-grade alchemist. Now, a hundred years have passed, and he has probably become a seventh-grade alchemist.

"I will make my own decision. Go and prepare. I will be leaving soon."

"Master...there's no need to take everything away. Isn't the price too high?"

"The price is high? Maybe people don't even value these things."

Ma Cheng wanted to say something but was interrupted by the old man, "Go and get ready. I don't want to say it for the third time. Do you know that?"

"Yes, Master." Ma Cheng said, and quickly retreated.

Only then did he realize how inappropriate what he said was, and he even dared to question his master's decision.

The master has become much gentler since he was injured, and now it seems that there has been no change, he just hasn't shown it.

He almost made a big mistake and nearly lost his life.

You know, before the master was injured, he was a well-known robbery cultivator. Countless disciples died at his hands, and he almost became one of them.

Since there were too many enemies, the master must have had to control his temper and stay dormant, so they, the disciples, lived in peace for a long time.

"He thought that the master's personality had changed over the years. In fact, he was afraid that his enemies would find out that his strength had dropped and kill him!"

The old man in his seventies looked at his disciple's departing back, a cold light flashed in his eyes and then disappeared in a flash, and no one knew what he was thinking in his heart.

Unexpectedly, Lin Xing's sudden appearance saved Changyuan Town from being robbed, but it was still taken advantage of.

Lin Xing, who had left long ago, had no idea about this. If he knew, he would probably be very upset.

In a canyon, a young girl was kicking the stones under her feet with her head down, as if she was venting her anger. From time to time, she could be heard cursing and complaining.

"What the hell? I just didn't suppress my cultivation and was almost mistaken for a robbing cultivator."

"She was really wronged. She got into trouble for no reason."

After this lesson, Lin Xing also understood that in some remote towns, having too high a cultivation level is not a good thing and being too high-profile is not a good thing, while having too low a cultivation level makes it easy to be targeted. Now it is just right for her to suppress it to the late Jindan stage.

"Look, she was invited to join a group of treasure-hunting monks even when she was walking on the street."

After asking indirectly, she found out that this treasure hunting team was actually caused by her in "Changyuan Town", which made her speechless for a while. She had to say that people's imagination was really strong enough.

There are many treasure hunting teams like this.

Lin Xing became angrier and angrier. Just as he was about to continue kicking the stone to vent his anger, a voice came over, "Su Qing, this stone irritated you, so you treat it like this."

Lin Xing then came back to his senses and said, "Ah, I just thought this stone was uglier than the others, so I kicked it a few times to beautify it."

"Su Qing, we are here to look for treasure, not to play with stones, can you please be serious?"

"Okay. Okay. Okay..."

"I will listen to you. I will listen to you carefully."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Xing turned around and trampled on the flowers that were blooming next to him.

"Su Qing..."

Seeing this, Wen Banyan roared in frustration.

When Lin Xing heard the roar, his hands trembled and the petals in his hands fell down.

Seeing Wen Banyan's murderous expression, he pretended not to see it, laughed it off, and said to himself, "It seems that there is no sign of treasure appearing here."

"Banyan, I'll go look somewhere else."

After saying that, he ran away quickly.
