Long Road to Stardom

If Wen Zishu hadn't reminded her just now, she would have definitely fallen flat on her face.

"As expected, one should not be too arrogant."

Although this 'Purple Yang Furnace' required such a powerful spiritual sense, which really shocked her heart, she quickly adjusted herself and did not show any abnormality, otherwise she would have made a fool of herself.

She won't give these people a chance.

An hour later, Lin Xing had refined the pill.

When the lid of the alchemy furnace was opened, everyone's eyes stared over.

"Seventeen perfect, top-grade pills!"

Someone immediately exclaimed and spoke out.

"Fifth Elder, my alchemy skills are pretty good. I should be qualified to participate in the Alchemist Conference. I would like to borrow this 'Purple Sun Furnace' for the time being."

"Wait a minute, Master Sudan's alchemy skills are indeed qualified to participate in the Alchemist Conference, but we still have to test his age. If he is over 200 years old, that would be bad."

"Fifth Elder, don't go too far." After hearing this, Wen Zishu immediately stood up to defend him.

"Zishu, it's okay."

"Since the Fifth Elder asked for it, let's just do it. This will save us from having to find excuses later. It will be quite troublesome."

"But I feel uncomfortable being targeted by the Fifth Elder. I may not have the free time to attend the Alchemist Conference. I would like to make one more small request. I wonder if Master Wen can agree to it."

"Master Sultan, please speak."

"I want to go into the 'Baicao Forest'!"

"Master Sultan, this 'Hundred Herb Forest' requires a special bloodline to enter. Are you sure you want to make this request? If you can't get in, the Wen family won't pay for it again."

"Master Wen, I know all of this, and I will definitely not have any complaints when the time comes."

"That's fine. If Master Sudan can get into the top ten in the Alchemy Master Conference, I will definitely let Master Sudan have a try when we enter the Hundred Herb Forest."

"Thank you, Master Wen, for your help."

"Some people just don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is. They want to get a little bit of everything."

A monk next to the fifth elder said sarcastically.

She didn't indulge him, and immediately retorted, "Don't worry about that."

"Hmph... you really don't know what I'm talking about."

Lin Xing smiled without saying anything, turned to the Fifth Elder and said, "Fifth Elder, please come in!"

The fifth elder took out a ten-foot-tall crystal stone from his storage ring and placed it not far in front of Lin Xing.

Lin Xing walked forward and touched the crystal stone. Soon her age and spiritual roots were revealed.

Just as the crystal was about to reveal her realm, she pulled her hand back and said with a complaining look on her face, "Really? How come my spiritual roots are revealed?"

"Fifth Elder, you said you wanted to test my age, but you didn't say you wanted to test my spiritual roots as well. You have to compensate me for my losses."

"Fifth Elder, please don't leave..."

Before Lin Xing could finish his words, the Fifth Elder disappeared from the spot. The people who followed him felt ashamed and followed him away.

"Why run so fast? She didn't even get any spirit stones."

Wen Zishu quickly tugged at the corner of Lin Xing's clothes and whispered, "Sister Su Qing, please stop talking. My father is still here."

"That's right, then ask your father for some compensation. I didn't come to visit the Wen family today to get bullied."

"Master Wen, what do you think?"

"Heh. Master Sudan is right, but the 'Purple Sun Furnace' is not enough to ask Master Sudan for help."

"Master Wen, you mean to give me this 'Purple Sun Furnace' as a gift, rather than borrowing it for a period of time."

"Yes, Master Sultan can rest assured now!"

"Thank you, Master Wen. I will do my best at the Alchemist Conference."

"That's good. Take this as a token of the Wen family's participation in the Alchemist Conference. I have things to deal with, so I'll leave first. Let Zishu accompany you to visit the Wen family."

The head of the Wen family gave the token to Lin Xing and then left the reception room.

After a while, everyone in the reception room had left, leaving only Lin Xing and Wen Zishu.

Seeing that everyone had left, Lin Xing put away the "Zi Yang Stove" in the reception room.

"Congratulations to Sister Su Qing for obtaining an alchemy furnace."

"Zishu, this thing belongs to your family. It was given away by someone. Why are you so happy?"

"Sister Su Qing, you took it. Of course I am happy for you. Besides, this furnace has been covered in dust in the Wen family for a long time. It is not a bad thing that someone can finally control it."

"Zishu, when you put it that way, I feel like I've suffered a huge loss."

Wen Zishu scratched his head and did not answer Lin Xing's question. Instead, he changed the subject and said, "Sister Su Qing, let me take you around."

"If anything gets better, take me to see your sister."

Lin Xing had no interest in visiting the Wen family. Instead, he would rather go and see how Banyan was doing.

"Okay, I guess my sister will be fine after seeing Sister Su Qing."

"Lead the way quickly."

After a while, the two came to a yard.

Wen Zishu took out a jade token and shone it on the rune on the gate.

Soon, a maid opened the gate and led the two in.

The entrance to the courtyard is a bluestone path with bamboos planted on both sides.

The first thing she saw when she walked in was an exquisite pavilion with a wind chime hanging on each of the four corners. A breeze blew and the wind chimes began to ring.

The courtyard is surrounded by various exotic flowers and plants, which are beautiful beyond words.

The attic where Wen Banyan lives is located in the center of this courtyard.

The maid brought the two to the door of the attic and then retreated.

Wen Zishu glanced at Lin Xing, then took a few steps forward and gently knocked on the attic door.

After waiting for a while, the door slowly opened.

"Sister, I'm here to see you."

"Look, who else is coming."

"Who is it, Brother Lu Qing?"

Wen Banyan pushed Wen Zishu away, looked behind him, and saw Lin Xing with a smile on his face.

The two looked at each other, and Lin Xing spoke first, "Banyan, did you miss me?"

"What are you doing here, to laugh at me?"

After Wen Banyan finished speaking, the door closed with a bang.

Wen Zishu was stunned for a moment before he reacted. He knocked on the door again and shouted, "Sister, what are you doing?"

"Take her away from me, I don't want to see her, go away..." Wen Banyan yelled hysterically.

Although Lin Xing didn't know why Banyan didn't want to see her, since she had been driven away, she would not stay and make things boring for herself, so she turned around and left the Wen family.

Wen Zishu hurriedly chased after him, but was still a step too late. Lin Xing had already disappeared from the Wen family.

"What is this!"

Lin Xing felt even more depressed. He walked on the street with his head down in silence, and his back looked extremely lonely.

Because she was so absorbed in her thoughts, she didn't notice that there was someone following her steps.

After a long time, she finally regained her composure.

At this moment, she noticed a person beside her, turned around and said in surprise, "It's you!"
