Long Road to Stardom

Chapter 178 Eavesdropping

This is at least three major realms higher than her.

For a cultivator with such a high level of cultivation, his alchemy skills are really too poor!

Before, she didn't believe that a cultivator who had no talent for alchemy would be able to become proficient one day as long as he persisted.

Now she believes it!

Another possibility is that this old man is carrying something that hides his cultivation level, making it difficult for people to see his cultivation level.

The occasional aura that the old man revealed made her feel that it was not the case.

"How strange! Everyone is out, how come she still didn't hear any sound!"

Lin Xing took small steps to a corner not far in front, leaned against it, and listened carefully. Then he heard a faint voice coming over, "Senior Mo, please don't make things difficult for me. The alchemy room on the fourth floor really can't stand you blowing up the furnace again..."

"Why call me senior? Call me Master Mo Dan!" the old man said with a slightly indignant voice.

"Yes, yes, yes..."

"Senior Master Mo Dan!"

"You kid, I barely even ask you to call me Master Mo Dan, and you insist on adding the word 'senior'. Do you look down on my alchemy skills?"

The old man stared at the young man in front of him, as if he would not leave unless the young man called him Master Mo Dan.

"Since the seniors have said so, I will speak frankly."

"Senior's alchemy skills are really not that good!"

"What did you say!"

The old man seemed to be hit in a sore spot, and his aura suddenly burst out, but he still restrained himself a lot, only slightly targeting the young man in front of him.

The young man in front of him locked onto this sudden momentum, his blood and qi surging uncontrollably, a trace of blood quietly slipped from the corner of his mouth. Even under such pressure, he kept his lips tightly closed, and never called out, "Master Mo Dan!"

"You are so stubborn, boy!"

"That's all, that's all..."

"Since you are Master Song's disciple, I will let you go today."

The old man put away his aura and said helplessly.

"Thank you, Senior Mo!"

When the old man heard this, his anger was immediately aroused again. He stared at the young man in front of him as if waiting for an explanation from him.

Chi Yang was under pressure and remained silent without explaining, which made the old man even more angry.

Looking at the young man in front of him, he couldn't do anything. He looked around, as if looking for something to vent his anger.

Suddenly, he seemed to see something interesting, and with a slight movement of his feet, he came directly behind Lin Xing.

Lin Xing had no idea about this and was wondering why there was no sound after so much time had passed.

If the position she was leaning on hadn't been fixed, she would have been squeezed out!

Suddenly a voice exploded in her ears, "Little girl, does this corner sound nice?"

Lin Xing blurted out subconsciously, "Of course, who doesn't like to eavesdrop?"

After she finished speaking, she realized something was wrong and turned around to find that the old man was behind her.

"It's over! It's over!"

"I was caught by myself!"

"What should I do next?"

At this moment, Lin Xing thought a lot about how to resolve the current predicament.

A voice pulled her back, "Little girl, why aren't you talking?"

Lin Xing tried his best to make his voice sound convincing and said, "Senior... Actually, I was feeling a little unwell just now, so I just wanted to find a place to lean on. I definitely didn't mean to eavesdrop."

After saying this, he didn't dare to look at the old man, but kept his head down and remained silent.

The old man looked at her nervous and embarrassed look, a sly smile appeared on his lips, and he pretended to be puzzled and said, "Oh? Really?"

"But why did I hear your laughter in front of me?"

"Senior, this is impossible, it's absolutely impossible..."

Lin Xing immediately retorted that he would never admit that he had laughed secretly.

The alchemy room is soundproof and sense-proof. As long as she refuses to admit it, this old man will not be able to do anything to her.

"Oh, maybe I'm old and heard it wrongly."

Just when she didn't know how to answer, footsteps were heard on the stairwell.

After a while, a group of people came to the fourth floor in a mighty manner.

Lin Xing was like the sound of nature. She wanted to take this opportunity to take the test to become a fourth-grade alchemist, and it just happened to be her turn.

Just as she raised her leg, she found that she could not move. She gritted her teeth and said to the old man in front of her, "Senior. Senior.. It's my turn to take the test. I'll be right back."

"Don't be anxious, little girl. I see that you have good alchemy skills. I still have a spiritual herb that I just didn't finish refining. You can use this spiritual herb to refine a pill for this assessment."

"Here, take it, this is the recipe..."

"Senior, this is against the rules. I dare not..." Lin Xing said weakly using this excuse.

"It's okay. I can still make the decision for you on this little matter."

"You said so! Chi Yang."

At this time, an alchemist appeared beside Lin Xing.

At first glance, four words flashed through her mind, "gentle and elegant."

He seemed easy to talk to, and Lin Xing looked at him with a pleading look.

But his words directly made Lin Xing's plan fail.

"Just follow what Senior Mo said!"

"What!" Lin Xing couldn't believe what he heard.

"Isn't it said that gentle men are easier to talk to? Why is it that they are of no use to her?"

Lin Xing suddenly felt like crying but had no tears.

When the old man saw Lin Xing's expression, he felt relieved. Then he gave the little girl in front of him a heavy blow, "Little girl, you don't have to choose which alchemy room to stay in. The one I stayed in just now is good. No one will definitely compete with you..."

Lin Xing refused to accept this and said in a desperate struggle, "Senior, that alchemy room doesn't even have an alchemy furnace, how can we make pills?"

"Little girl, don't tell me that you don't have an alchemy furnace. I, an old man, don't believe it."

"Senior, I have an alchemy furnace, but its grade is a bit low and I can't refine fourth-grade pills." Lin Xing said truthfully.

He added in his mind, "There is also an alchemy furnace that cannot be shown to the public."

"What does the quality of an alchemy furnace have to do with the quality of the pills it refines? If your alchemy skills are good enough, how can you be defeated by an alchemy furnace?"

"I, old man, am very optimistic about you. Go and take the test quickly, otherwise time will be gone in a short while." Upon hearing this, the old man gave earnest advice.

Lin Xing was in disbelief when he heard this. How could this old man say so many lies? A good alchemy furnace is related to the success rate of the elixir.

"Hey..."

Unfortunately, one has to bow his head when under someone's roof. Lin Xing shrugged his head and walked towards the alchemy room with a sigh as he took every step. In his hand, he held the spiritual herbs and the recipe given by the old man.

The alchemists who had just come up to the fourth floor from downstairs didn't dare to say a word, for fear of being targeted by this old monster Mo.
