Long Road to Stardom

"Sister Lin Xing, I didn't expect that you'd still care so much about the sect's affairs after leaving it for so long."

"Why don't you come with me to meet the Third Elder!"

Lin Xing quickly shook his head and said, "I won't go to see the Third Elder. I will be returning to Dan City soon."

"I asked someone to refine the True Source Pill and promised to do something. I naturally cannot go back on my word. Let's talk about meeting the Third Elder later!"

"Sister Lin Xing, you wouldn't agree to any unreasonable request, would you?" Lei Hongyu asked anxiously when he heard this.

"Of course not. I just served as the bodyguard for that alchemist for ten years. Don't think too much about it."

"So simple?"

"Sister Lin Xing, you must have been deceived!"

"Do I have to lie to you about this? That person is my best friend, but he did suffer a loss in this matter. I will spend time looking for the natural treasures that can be used to refine the 'longevity pill' for him."

"Sister Lin Xing, I feel relieved when you say that, but this should not be your business alone. I will report the truth to the Third Elder."

"I'm sure the Third Elder will come up with a lot of good stuff. Then, I'll come to Dan City to find you."

"Actually, that's not necessary. You don't need to let the Third Elder know that it was me who brought the 'True Origin Pill'."

"Sister Lin Xing, it's too late for you to say this now. I have already told the Third Elder."

"Sister Lin Xing, I know what you are worried about, but it has been so long since the incident happened. If the 'True Source Pill' you brought can really wake up Senior Brother, no one in the sect will say anything when you return."

"The Third Elder specifically asked me to tell you not to feel any burden."

"Okay, I see."

"After all this, you don't have to stand here any longer. Hurry up and take the True Source Pill back."

"Sister Lin Xing, what about you?"

"I?"

"Of course I will go back to Dancheng after finishing the dishes on the table. I can't let you down." Lin Xing said happily while staring at the dishes on the table.

"Okay, then I'll leave for a while. Sister Lin Xing, eat slowly. I'll come back to you after I deliver the pills."

After saying this, Lei Hongyu left the restaurant, looking back every few steps.

After Lei Hongyu left, Lin Xing picked up the chopsticks on the table and began to taste the dishes.

"Lei Hongyu is absolutely right. The food here tastes really good. Every bite is so delicious that I want to swallow my tongue."

After eating for a long time, she noticed that there was a pot of wine on the table.

Lin Xing gently pulled out the cork, and an intoxicating aroma of wine spread out, as if it could penetrate her nostrils and reach deep into her soul.

After smelling the aroma of the wine for a while, she picked up the wine jug and poured it into the cup. The color of the wine in the glass was like crystal amber, which was intoxicating.

When the spirit wine touches the tip of the tongue, a warm current begins to spread in the mouth. This spirit wine does not have a trace of spiciness, but is more of a mixture of sweetness and mellowness. This taste seems to be able to pass through the tip of the tongue and touch the depths of the soul, making people experience an unprecedented pleasure and satisfaction.

After drinking this cup of spiritual wine, Lin Xing felt that his body seemed to be injected with endless power, and his soul seemed to be sublimated.

"What a drink!"

Even Lin Xing, who had not drunk spiritual wine many times, couldn't help but sigh.

Presumably, this must be the 'Hun Meng', one of the three spiritual wines of 'Qionghua Tower'. Compared with the other two, this spiritual wine is more popular among female cultivators.

Now that he had eaten and drunk, Lin Xing packed up the rest and prepared to leave.

Thinking of Zhizhi and Xiaobai, she ordered some more dishes and two other kinds of spirit wine. Even when she was paying the spirit stones, she felt a pang in her heart.

When leaving the restaurant, Lin Xing saw a familiar figure. He was stunned for a moment and then walked past him.

"Why is he here?"

Lin Xing thought as he walked, but couldn't figure out why. He didn't dwell on it and just pretended he didn't see it.

When she thinks about what she did, she still feels a little humble.

After leaving the restaurant, Lin Xing got on a carriage and headed towards the north gate.

Lei Hongyu brought the 'True Origin Pill' back to the inn where he lived and gave it to the third elder.

The third elder took the pill with some emotion. He didn't expect that although Feng'er had a cold personality, he was quite popular in the sect. Even after being in a coma for so many years, there were still so many fellow disciples running around for him.

However, Feng'er's injuries had worsened during his absence. Although they were under control for the time being, if he wanted to recover, the alchemist who made the 'True Source Pill' would have to reduce his lifespan by at least 500 years.

I have visited many alchemists before, but no one was willing to make it. Now, it will cost me 500 years of my life to make the "True Source Pill", and no alchemist will do it.

But after all, this is the 'True Source Pill' that my fellow disciples brought back after much hard work, so I have to give it a try.

The third elder came to the cave where Chu Lingfeng lived with a glimmer of hope.

Lei Hongyu also wanted to know whether the eldest senior brother would wake up after taking the "True Source Pill", so he followed the third elder to the cave where the eldest senior brother lived.

Inside the cave, there were several fellow disciples guarding the eldest brother.

As soon as he saw the third elder coming, he quickly stood up, bowed, and stepped aside.

The third elder walked to Chu Lingfeng's side and poured out the "Zhenyuan Pill" in the porcelain bottle in his hand.

The 'True Source Pill' emitted a soft golden light in the Third Elder's hand, which was different from any 'True Source Pill' he had seen before.

"Is this the 'True Origin Pill'?" The third elder's pupils shrank slightly, and he muttered to himself in disbelief.

Lei Hongyu heard what the Third Elder said and asked hurriedly, "Third Elder, is there anything wrong with this 'True Origin Pill'?"

"There's nothing wrong with it, it's just a little too good."

"You don't even know about the pills you brought." The third elder asked in return.

“Third Elder, although I brought this elixir, I also got it from Sister Lin Xing.”

"Lin Xing?"

"Isn't this the fellow disciple Feng Er asked me to protect?"

The Third Elder thought to himself, but he did not say it out loud. Instead, he said to Lei Hongyu beside him, "Hongyu, go and bring Junior Sister Lin Xing over. I want to see her."

When Lei Hongyu heard this, he quickly responded, "Third Elder, I will go find Sister Lin Xing right away."

After saying that, he left the cave and walked towards the "Qionghua Tower".

The Third Elder saw that the person had left, and without any further hesitation, he gave the 'True Origin Pill' in his hand to Chu Lingfeng for him to eat.

As soon as the 'True Source Pill' entered Chu Lingfeng's body, it instantly dissolved, turning into strands of golden threads that followed the meridians and drilled into the source in Chu Lingfeng's dantian.

Chu Lingfeng's originally pale face became visibly rosy.

The third elder watched quietly from the side and said with a look of relief, "It seems that Feng'er should be able to wake up this time."

When the disciples nearby heard this, they were also delighted. However, before they could be happy for long, a powerful death energy suddenly erupted from Chu Lingfeng's body, trying to take back control of the origin in Chu Lingfeng's body.
