Long Road to Stardom

Upon hearing this, Xu Yingzong said with a wry smile, "I heard someone was selling high-level elixirs in the market, so I wanted to come and buy some."

When Lin Xing heard this, he recalled that he had not heard anyone selling high-level elixirs in the market today. He was afraid that he might not have noticed it, so he looked at Senior Brother Xu and said, "Senior Brother Xu, let's go in and take a look, otherwise it might be gone in a while."

After hearing this, Xu Yingzong nodded immediately and went to the stall area in the market town.

Lin Xing followed her brother all the way to a stall. When she saw this location, she was confused. Wasn't this the place where she had just set up her stall? She asked in confusion, "Brother Xu, are you sure this is the place where the pills are sold?"

Xu Yingzong nodded, looking extremely disappointed.

Lin Xing looked at Senior Brother Xu and quickly said to him in comfort, "Senior Brother Xu, no one is selling pills here. We can go to the store to buy them."

Xu Yingzong shook his head. "Junior sister, you don't know that because of this sect competition, the elixirs in the shops have long been monopolized by others. If you don't have any connections, don't even think about buying elixirs. It's especially difficult for us registered disciples to buy elixirs."

After hearing this, Lin Xing realized that it seemed that there were connections everywhere.

"Brother Xu, have you ever thought about buying spiritual herbs for the alchemist to make pills?"

"Junior sister, I don't know any alchemists in the sect, and my own alchemy skills are barely enough to make some pills for the Qi Refining Stage. If you want to find an alchemist who can make pills for the Foundation Establishment Stage, they won't even pay attention to us, their registered disciples, let alone make pills for you."

When Lin Xing heard this, he didn't know how to answer, so he asked softly, "Brother Xu, what kind of elixir do you want to buy?"

Xu Yingzong looked at his junior sister who was concerned about him, and felt a little comforted, "Little junior sister, let's go back to the sect first."

Along the way, Lin Xing learned the whole story from Senior Brother Xu.

Senior Brother Xu and a senior brother who entered the sect together supported each other all the way up. In order to prepare for the sect competition, they wanted to improve their strength and prepared to explore a cave. They thought that they could go together, but they didn't expect that they couldn't even break the restriction at the entrance of the cave. As time was tight, they had to find two independent people to break the restriction of the cave together. The distribution had been agreed upon, but at the last minute, they were ambushed by the two men.

However, they were also cautious and did not succeed in the sneak attack. However, because of his relatively low cultivation level, he was targeted by the two men. His senior brother was seriously injured in trying to save him, and he fell all the way from the middle stage of foundation building to the initial stage of foundation building. It was estimated that in a few days, he would not even be able to maintain his cultivation level of foundation building.

They could only recover with a 'Foundation Building Pill' or a 'Jingle Nourishing Pill'. As menial disciples, they had few resources to begin with, and for the sake of that cave, they had used up all their savings over the years.

This time, I went to the market to buy pills mainly to stabilize my brother's injuries and prevent them from getting worse, and then make money to buy "Foundation Building Pills" or "Jingle Nourishing Pills".

"Senior Brother Xu, why don't you use your contribution points to exchange for a foundation-building pill?"

Xu Yingzong looked at the puzzled junior sister in front of him and said, "Little junior sister, you don't know that everyone in the sect only has one chance to exchange for the 'Foundation Building Pill'.

They had already exchanged it when they had achieved great perfection in Qi training, and it could not be exchanged again. They wanted to find other people to exchange it with other things, but who would joke about their own future?

The 'Runjing Pill' can be exchanged for it but it requires 2,000 contribution points. His current contribution is only over 400. It is unknown how long it will take for him to accumulate 2,000 points. His senior brother cannot wait that long either.

After saying this, Xu Yingzong looked very sad, which made Lin Xing feel a little uncomfortable.

I don't know how many dirty things I encountered in the 'Dark Forest' before. It's rare to see a trace of sincerity in Senior Brother Xu. What's more, Senior Brother Xu has done me a favor. I still have two 'Foundation Building Pills' on me.

In order to not burden Senior Brother Xu, Lin Xing said, "Senior Brother Xu, I have a foundation-building pill on me. You can exchange something with me, or buy it from me with spirit stones."

When Xu Yingzong heard this, he said with surprise, "Junior Sister, you really have the 'Foundation Building Pill'."

Lin Xing thought that Senior Brother Xu didn't believe him, so he took out a porcelain bottle and handed it to him.

Xu Yingzong took the porcelain bottle, opened the bottle cap and took a look, his face full of joy, "It really is the Foundation Establishment Pill, Brother can be saved."

Then he looked at the junior sister beside him and said gratefully, "Junior sister, I don't have enough spirit stones to buy the 'Foundation Building Pill'. This is a jade slip I got in the cave. I know it's not worth a 'Foundation Building Pill', but I can swear to my inner demon that I will never forget to return it when I have enough spirit stones in the future."

Lin Xing took the jade slip and probed inside with his consciousness. He found that the restriction had not been broken, so he put it away and said to Senior Brother Xu, "Senior Brother Xu, there is no need to swear an oath to your inner demon. I believe in you. I can now refine the elixir required for the foundation-building period. If Senior Brother Xu needs to refine any elixir, you must come to me for it."

Lin Xing thought of something else, took out two bottles of pills and handed them to Senior Brother Xu, saying, "Senior Brother Xu, since you owe me one 'Foundation Building Pill', you can owe me these two bottles of pills for now. These two bottles are the pills I have recently refined. You can pay me back when you have spirit stones in the future."

Xu Yingzong took the pill. He had suffered a lot in this period of time. Lin Xing's action moved him deeply. He swore in his heart that if his junior sister had any problems in the future, he would go through fire and water to help her.

Lin Xing looked at his senior brother who was motionless, and quickly waved his hand in front of his eyes, "Senior brother, what's wrong with you?"

Xu Yingzong came back to his senses and said, "Junior sister, I'm fine. Thank you."

"Senior Brother Xu, this is nothing. I am now an alchemist who can refine elixirs for the Foundation Establishment Stage." Lin Xing answered proudly.

"By the way, Senior Brother Xu, why don't you go back quickly? After all, your senior brother's injury cannot be cured immediately."

After hearing this, Xu Yingzong did not bother to argue any further. He thanked Lin Xing again before flying to his residence.

Lin Xing looked at his senior brother who had already gone far away, and controlled the flying spiritual tool to come to the Alchemy Hall to collect some spiritual herbs for refining the Foundation Establishment Period. Just like before, as long as he handed in a certain number of pills, the rest would be his.

After leaving the Alchemy Hall and returning to the cave, Lin Xing took a look at the monster egg, which still showed no signs of hatching. He went to the Alchemy Room to prepare to refine the elixir.

In the next period of time, Lin Xing plans to refine one hundred copies of the first-grade elixir "Peiyuan Dan" to improve his cultivation. Previously, the success rate of the first-grade elixir was around six levels.

Now that she has established her foundation and has spiritual awareness, the success rate of refining pills will surely be much higher. If she can increase the success rate of the 100 materials in front of her by more than 80%, she will be ready to refine second-grade pills.
