Long Road to Stardom

"Sister Lin Xing, you are amazing. Even after being away from the sect for such a long time, your strength growth rate seems to have not slowed down at all."

"I don't like to hear that. We entered the sect together, and now you are in the middle stage of the Spiritualization Stage, while I am still in the Nascent Soul Stage."

When Lin Xing thought of this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"Sister Lin Xing, don't underestimate yourself. The fact that you were able to rescue me from those people is enough to prove your extraordinaryness."

"OK OK."

"Let's not flatter each other."

"Now that you have fully recovered, it is time to leave 'Barren Rock Slope'."

Lin Xing thought for a moment and suggested.

"Well, I've been out for so long, the sect must be very worried."

"I have to go back quickly and report this matter to the sect."

Speaking of the sect, Lin Xing couldn't help but ask.

"Lei Hongyu, what is the current situation of the sect?"

Lei Hongyu did not directly answer Lin Xing's question, but asked, "Sister Lin Xing, you have been away from the sect for so long, have you never thought about going back?"

"Can I still go back?"

There was a trace of confusion in Lin Xing's eyes, and he spoke softly.

"Of course you can. Actually, someone helped you save the situation back then, but I couldn't find you and didn't have the chance to tell you."

"Lei Hongyu, are you telling the truth?"

"I remember that I didn't know any important people in the sect. How could someone protect me?"

"I don't know about this, but I heard from the disciples in the sect that it was the Third Elder who made the move."

"Third Elder?"

When Lin Xing heard this, she became even more confused. She had indeed met the Third Elder several times, but they had never spoken a word. How could he protect her when she had committed such a serious crime?

Something seemed to flash through her mind, but she didn't catch it, so she asked quickly, "Lei Hongyu, I want to know if anything else happened during the time when the Third Elder came forward to protect me?"

"It seems that there is nothing else, but there is a happy event. I wonder if it counts as such?"

Lei Hongyu thought about it and said uncertainly.

"Happy event, what happy event?"

"The sect's eldest brother wants to form a Taoist couple with a disciple from the Nangong family in Zhongzhou."

When Lin Xing heard this, he was momentarily distracted.

Lei Hongyu looked at the silent Lin Xing and asked with concern, "Sister Lin Xing, what's wrong with you?"

"No. Nothing... This is a good thing."

"It is indeed a good thing, but since the eldest brother came back from the ancient battlefield, he has been in a coma. If the eldest brother does not wake up before the Penglai Island Heaven and Earth Competition Ranking opens, this matter will be invalidated."

"How could this happen? Doesn't the sect have any elixir that can help Senior Brother recover?"

Lin Xing asked with some confusion.

"Originally there were some, but the elixir was taken away by the head of Danfeng and left the sect."

"What did you say? The leader of Danfeng is seeking revenge against the Third Elder."

Lei Hongyu also guessed so in his mind and nodded in response.

"It turns out that I am the culprit." Lin Xing said somewhat distraught.

"Sister Lin Xing, don't be like this, maybe that's not the case."

"Lei Hongyu, please stop comforting me."

"Can you tell me what kind of elixir does the eldest brother need?"

“I want to do my best.”

Lin Xing asked, trying to muster up some energy.

Lei Hongyu glanced at Lin Xing and knew that she was now full of remorse for him, so he said truthfully, "Sister Lin Xing, have you ever heard of the 'True Source Pill'?"

"Of course. I remember that the True Origin Pill is a sixth-grade pill. It's not very rare. The sect should have a lot of it in stock. How could the head of Danfeng take it all away?"

"Even if there isn't, there are several alchemists above the sixth rank in the sect. How could there not be 'True Origin Pill'?"

Lin Xing's tone was full of confusion and doubt.

"If it was an ordinary 'True Origin Pill', that would be true. However, the 'True Origin Pill' required for Senior Brother's situation would take at least three hundred years of an alchemist's life. Naturally, no alchemist would be willing to refine it."

"I showed up here this time because I heard that the head of Danfeng had appeared here before. I wanted to take back the 'True Source Pill' from her, but I didn't expect to be ambushed by the people of Wanjian Sect. If it weren't for you, Sister Lin Xing, I'm afraid I would have died."

Lei Hongyu sighed when he thought about it.

When Lin Xing heard Lei Hongyu's story, he immediately realized that this was a conspiracy. In order to verify his guess, he asked Lei Hongyu, "Lei Hongyu, have any disciples in the sect been ambushed before?"

"Sister Lin Xing, now that you mention it, it really happened once."

"Do you still remember Duan Wenlin, a disciple of the sect?"

"Of course I remember. When I was in the sect, I often heard people mention him. It seemed that there was another genius who was as famous as my eldest brother."

"Sister Lin Xing, you know a lot, but he has become a useless person now, and it was also caused by the ambush of the disciples of the Wanjian Sect."

"Now that we know the murderer, won't the sect start a fight with the Wanjian Sect?"

Lin Xing said anxiously.

Lei Hongyu took a deep breath, his expression becoming more solemn, "Sister Lin Xing, you don't know that although we know that the Wanjian Sect did it, we don't have enough evidence to prove it."

"Moreover, there have always been frictions between our sect and the Wanjian Sect. If we don't have solid evidence, they will be bitten back and accused of being framed by the sect."

"What's more, the Wanjian Sect is the second largest sect in Qingfeng Continent, second only to us in strength. If a conflict really occurs, the result will probably be a lose-lose situation for both sides."

"In fact, there is one more thing. I also heard it from Master. The Wanjian Sect seems to have hooked up with the Dongfang family in Zhongzhou. This is also the main reason why the sect suppressed this matter."

"But didn't the sect also get in touch with the Nangong family of Zhongzhou?"

"Sister Lin Xing, if you want the Nangong family to intervene, the prerequisite is that the eldest brother can wake up."

Lin Xing was silent after hearing this. She understood what Lei Hongyu meant, and also understood the sect’s difficulties.

However, the anger and self-blame in her heart became even stronger.

Lin Xing was silent for a long time, clenched his hands, raised his head and looked at Lei Hongyu, and said in a deep voice, "Lei Hongyu, I always feel that so many things happened at the same time, there must be a reason for them to do this, do you know if there is anything particularly important happening recently."

"Yes, Sister Lin Xing, your words reminded me of this."

A gleam of light flashed in Lei Hongyu's eyes, as if he had thought of something important. "There is indeed a big event about to happen recently. This event not only concerns the future of the sect, but may also affect the power structure of the entire Qingfeng Continent."

"What's the matter?" Lin Xing asked immediately.

Lei Hongyu took a deep breath and said slowly, "Sister Lin Xing, it's the Penglai Island Heaven and Earth Competition Ranking that I mentioned before."
