Long Road to Stardom

Lin Xing thought with some satisfaction, but it was all thanks to her superb alchemy skills. If it were any other alchemist, the success rate wouldn't be so high.

Unfortunately, she was not clear about her own alchemy level and thought that other alchemists' alchemy level was similar to hers.

This situation was still her own fault. She had never communicated with other alchemists and had been concentrating on making pills.

After completing a jade slip, Lin Xing put it aside.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, twenty days have passed, and Lin Xing has finally completed all the alchemy tasks he has accepted.

In a corner of the alchemy room, it is hard to ignore the stacked jade slips.

There were a total of 231 jade slips, the most common of which were for refining elixirs for breakthroughs, followed by elixirs for improving cultivation, and there were also some elixir recipes that she had never seen before.

Although she had never refined it before, she still managed to refine it.

The time she almost failed was because "Zhizhi" suddenly broke in and distracted her for a moment, but she quickly adjusted herself and refined that furnace of pills. The yield was reduced by half and the quality was a little low, but it barely met the requirements on the jade slip.

During this period, she also saw the legendary friend of "Squeaky", who turned out to be a treasure-hunting mouse. The only difference was that its fur was a different color from other treasure-hunting mice. It was snow-white all over, and no one knew how it mutated.

The treasure-hunting rat didn't have an owner yet, and Lin Xing wanted to keep it as a pet the first time he saw it. However, when he asked for its opinion, the treasure-hunting rat directly rejected him.

Lin Xing was not annoyed and just went with the flow.

It was these two little guys who bumped into the alchemy room and saw her making pills, and then refused to leave.

Fortunately, they were just playing nearby and didn't disturb her, so she just let them be.

It was during this period of time that it ate a lot of her medicinal pills, but since it was her spiritual pet, what could she do?

"Of course I spoil you."

As for the treasure-hunting rat, it would sooner or later be won over by the elixir and be accepted as her spiritual pet.

While thinking, Lin Xing collected the jade slips piled aside.

After tidying up his appearance and putting on a mask, he left the cave and prepared to go to the exchange.

As soon as I walked out of the cave, an anxious voice came over, "Master, wait for me, I want to go out and play too."

"'Squeak', I'm not going out to play. You stay home and play with Xiaobai for a while. I'll come back and bring you something delicious to eat."

"No. I just want to go out and play."

After saying "squeak", the next moment, she climbed onto Lin Xing's shoulder and sat on it.

Then he shouted towards the cave, "Xiaobai, come out quickly, let's go out and play together."

After a while, a white shadow instantly climbed onto Lin Xing's other shoulder.

Lin Xing looked at the two little guys in silence. In the end, his persuasion failed, so he could only accept his fate and take them out.

At first the two little guys were relatively quiet, but once they got into the city, they started chattering non-stop, making Lin Xing's head buzz and even pulling out a lot of her hair.

Lin Xing tried to stop him, but he became more excited.

Fortunately, when we arrived at the exchange, the two little guys finally calmed down.

But when she arrived at the exchange, her hair was already a mess.

Along the way, if she hadn't been wearing a mask and her facial expression couldn't be seen, she would have turned around and returned to the cave.

After entering the exchange, Lin Xing walked to the counter where he had received the task and shouted, "Manager Zhou, I'm here to hand over the task."

Shopkeeper Zhou was resting with his eyes closed when he was suddenly woken up. When he opened his eyes, he saw a female cultivator with a messy hairstyle standing in front of the counter.

After a pause, he smiled faintly, and said after a while, "Bring out the contract you signed for the mission so I can see it."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xing took out a parchment scroll from his storage ring and handed it over.

Shopkeeper Zhou took it and looked at it, then said in astonishment, "Are you the alchemist who accepted 231 alchemy tasks 20 days ago?"

"Is there something wrong, Shopkeeper Zhou?"

"Nothing wrong, just curious."

"Since you have finished refining it, take out the jade slip and hand it over."

As soon as Shopkeeper Zhou finished speaking, the counter was instantly filled with jade slips that Lin Xing took out.

Shopkeeper Zhou picked up the jade slips and checked them one by one. He found that there were no mistakes or omissions, and they were even better than expected. He directly took out the spirit stone and handed it to Lin Xing.

Lin Xing took the spirit stones, glanced at them and found that there were 100 extra top-grade spirit stones. He was about to return them when he heard Shopkeeper Zhou say, "The pills you made are really good. A few extra spirit stones are nothing. I'm sure those monks who issued the alchemy tasks would like you to collect more spirit stones and make more."

Then he continued, "I have a batch of alchemy tasks that have just been released. Are you interested in taking a look?"

Lin Xing thought about it and since there were still eight days left before the auction, he nodded in agreement.

Upon seeing this, Shopkeeper Zhou immediately took out the jade slip and placed it on the counter. The jade slip that had been handed over earlier had already been put away by him.

Lin Xing thought that having at most twenty jade slips would be good enough, but he didn't expect there were more than a hundred.

If she took them all, she would definitely not have time to attend the auction, so she picked out some jade slips with high prices and lower requirements, about thirty in total.

Shopkeeper Zhou didn't say much when he saw this. He put away the other jade slips, took out a parchment scroll, and signed a new contract.

Seeing Lin Xing drop a drop of blood on the parchment scroll, he put it away.

As for the reason for doing this, of course it is because they are afraid that the cultivator who accepted the mission will escape with the spiritual herbs inside. This drop of essence blood is used to track down the escaped cultivator.

After doing all this, Lin Xing turned and left.

Seeing that Lin Xing was about to leave the exchange, Shopkeeper Zhou couldn't help but ask, "What is the name of this alchemist?"

Lin Xing paused for a moment, then uttered two words, "Su Qing."

After saying that, the man left the exchange.

"What a familiar name!"

Shopkeeper Zhou couldn't remember who it was for a moment, but there were so many monks in the exchange, and soon a monk not far away solved his doubts.

After the monk finished speaking, he also reacted.

"Isn't this Su Qing the most talked about person among the cultivators in Dan City recently?"

When many cultivators heard this, they also thought of this person, an alchemist who could advance to the seventh level at any time!

Immediately, a monk chased after him and wanted to make friends with him.

Lin Xing left the exchange. Because the two little guys on her shoulders made her hair a mess, she was stared at wherever she went, even more so at the exchange. She felt like a performing monkey. People kept glancing at her from time to time, making her feel uncomfortable.

Fortunately, the two little guys did not run around and stayed obediently on her shoulders.

Lin Xing originally wanted to buy some things before returning to the cave, but now she gave up the idea.

Wait until she sends these two little guys back to the cave, then come out to buy them!
