Long Road to Stardom

After settling his spirit pet, Lin Xing went to the washroom and took a bath, only then did he manage to pull himself together.

Although Xiaobai had helped her stabilize her essence, she still couldn't muster up the energy for a while.

In fact, in this situation, it would be best to meditate for a few days to recover, but the injuries on the eldest brother's body could not wait, so Lin Xing gave up the idea.

While taking a bath, Lin Xing noticed that his hair had changed color. He quickly checked his appearance and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he had not aged.

She thought it was because she had taken the "Fixing Beauty Pill" that her appearance did not change, but extracting so much essence at once still hurt her foundation, and there was still a slight change in her appearance.

However, the change was not obvious, his hair just turned yellow, and Lin Xing quickly accepted this reality.

"Just think of it as a change of color, a change of mood."

Lin Xing comforted herself in her heart. At the same time, she hoped that her senior brother would wake up after taking the "True Source Pill". Then she would not feel such a heavy sense of guilt and they would be even.

After taking a bath, Lin Xing changed his clothes. His appearance did not become like Su Qing, but he slightly changed his original appearance to make himself look more ordinary.

Before, she had been interacting with Lei Hongyu with this appearance.

After leaving the cave, Lin Xing thought about it and took out a mask from the storage ring and put it on before heading towards the teleportation array of Dan City.

During this period, she went through five portals and crossed the 'Blood Moon Valley' before arriving at 'Tianyuan City'.

'Tianyuan City' is indeed the largest city in Zhongzhou, and its huge scale amazes Lin Xing again and again.

Walking into the city, she found that 'Tianyuan City' was more prosperous than Dan City, and there were countless cultivators coming and going.

After walking a short distance, she met many cultivators with higher realms than hers. Not to mention the Nascent Soul cultivators, she could see one every few steps. Even the coachman driving the carriage had the Golden Core cultivation level. As for the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment cultivators, she had not seen any so far.

Since flying is prohibited in Tianyuan City just like in Dan City, and the city is so large, the business of horse-drawn carriages that use monster beasts to pull people is booming.

Lin Xing also chose a carriage and headed to the largest restaurant in the central area of ​​Tianyuan City.

It took half an hour to get to the restaurant by carriage, so you can imagine how big this "Tianyuan City" is.

When they arrived at the place, they paid the driver spirit stones and went straight into the restaurant.

In fact, Lin Xing was shocked when she saw the restaurant for the first time, but she didn't dare to look at it for too long, for fear of arousing greed in her heart.

As she entered the restaurant, she was stunned by the tables and chairs in the lobby that were carved from rare woods.

She quickly looked away, which made her even more depressed.

I repeated in my mind several times, "Treat money like dirt, treat money like dirt..."

Now, Lin Xing didn't dare to look around, as she really couldn't help but search the restaurant for things.

Arriving at the third floor, Lin Xing knocked on the door of a private room on the third floor.

Soon, a familiar person came into her sight. It was Lei Hongyu.

Lei Hongyu opened the door and saw a female cultivator wearing a mask. He asked uncertainly, "Sister Lin Xing, is that you?"

"It's me." Lin Xing responded after taking off his mask.

"Sister Lin Xing, why are you wearing a mask? And what happened to your hair? Why did it become like this? I almost didn't recognize you just now."

"Let's talk inside the private room. It's inconvenient to talk outside." Lin Xing vaguely sensed a gaze looking over here, and said in a voice transmission.

When Lei Hongyu heard Lin Xing's voice transmission, he instantly understood. He slightly turned his body to let Lin Xing's sister come in.

A woman in the corridor on the fifth floor said to her son, "Chen'er, what are you looking at? You are so engrossed."

"Nothing, just taking a look." Gu Chen came back to his senses and replied in a somewhat dull voice.

"Chen'er, I know you don't agree with the sect's decision this time, but this matter concerns the sect's development for nearly a thousand years in the future, and it is beyond your temper."

"When you meet the Dongfang family later, you have to be nicer and don't act like this."

"I understand, mother." Gu Chen responded silently.

He really didn't expect that in order to facilitate this marriage, the sect gave her mother a 'longevity pill' that could extend her life by a hundred years, just to let his mother persuade him and make this happen.

In fact, there is really no need to do so. He did not grow up with his mother, and his mother was not of high status, so it was difficult for her to see him. There was no feeling at all, and his impression of her had long been vague.

The main reason for coming here this time was the persuasion of the sect’s grand elder, who was also his grandfather.

His grandfather was the sect's grand elder and naturally cared a lot about the sect's development, so he just went with the flow and made the people in the sect think they had something to hold against him.

However, he was not the only one that the Dongfang family wanted to see this time. Many forces wanted to curry favor with them, and they all brought their own proud sons of the sect. It was not easy for him to stand out from them. What's more, there was already someone living in his heart, so naturally he was not interested in this and just went through the motions.

Many forces knew that the Dongfang family's eldest daughter was not talented, and the eldest son was born not long ago, so it would take some time to train him.

In fact, the Dongfang family's eldest daughter has good talent among ordinary sects, but when compared with the heirs of the other three families, there is a big gap.

This is also why the Dongfang family is eager to find a gifted son to form a Taoist partner with the Dongfang family's legitimate daughter. With this identity, they will allocate the resources for training the Dongfang legitimate daughter to this gifted son, allowing him to stand on his own until the Dongfang family's legitimate son grows up.

To put it nicely, this situation is a marriage of arrangement, to put it bluntly, how is it different from being a son-in-law? Anyway, he has never heard of any of the chosen ones by the four major families living long, and none of them returning to their original power. There must be something unknown in between.

As soon as Lin Xing entered the private room, he was attracted by the food on the table.

She swallowed her saliva, but still managed to look away and said to Lei Hongyu, "Lei Hongyu, why did you order so many dishes? Isn't the situation over there urgent? Why do you still have the mind to eat in the restaurant?"

"Sister Lin Xing, I knew you would say that."

"In fact, when you came to Tianyuan City, the Third Elder also returned to Tianyuan City. Although he did not bring back the True Source Pill, the Third Elder's presence prevented the injury on Senior Brother from getting worse."

"I just asked you to come to 'Qionghua Tower'. I want to treat you to a good meal while you are in 'Tianyuan City'."

"I've been to Qionghua Tower with the Third Elder before and have eaten the dishes here. I thought that Sister Lin Xing would definitely like them, so I ordered this table."

"Sister Lin Xing, if you don't like it, I'll have it removed right away."

"Lei Hongyu, that's not what I meant. I know you have good intentions, but the injury on Senior Brother's body is an unstable factor after all. It's better for him to wake up as soon as possible."

"This is the 'True Origin Pill' that I asked someone to refine. Give it to the Third Elder and let the Senior Brother take it first."
