Long Road to Stardom

Lin Xing couldn't believe that the 'Blood Demon Grass' could be faked right under her nose. Something hiding in the dark wouldn't be so secretive and carry out sneak attacks.

Could it be that he was afraid that the Jindan cultivators would not be able to defeat so many people, so he kept attacking in secret and defeating them one by one?

Lin Xing thought carefully about what had happened along the way and felt that this possibility was very high.

However, now that there are only her and Lu Qing left, they will probably not be able to help but show up soon.

Sure enough, not long after, she noticed a slight fluctuation in the air. Lin Xing pretended not to know and prepared to get rid of this thing hiding in the dark at one go.

Soon, the skeleton suddenly appeared and attacked from behind.

Lin Xing had already pushed the 'Thunder Sword' in her hand to its limit, waiting for that thing to come over, but she forgot about Lu Qing who was standing beside her.

Lu Qing had been fighting for control of her body with the evil energy in her body. When she noticed the skeleton suddenly appearing behind Lin Xing, she instantly burst out with powerful strength and not only broke free from the lightning chain, but also pushed her away and blocked her in front of him, having to endure the heavy blow from the skeleton.

"Lu Qing..."

Lin Xing's eyes were bloodshot, and a strong sword energy gushed out from her hand. The skeleton seemed to have noticed it and disappeared on the spot, and no one knew where it hid next.

She was in no mood to follow him, so she quickly helped Lu Qing up and took out a pill to feed him.

The hand holding the pill was grabbed by Lu Qing, who looked at Lin Xing weakly and said, "It's... it's useless... Su Qing, don't waste this pill."

"Su Qing, I'm...I'm sorry. I've gotten you into trouble this time. Fortunately, I kept my promise to protect you."

“If you can get out alive, help me give this thing to Ban…Banyan, but don’t tell her it’s mine. Also, don’t let her know that I…I’m in trouble…”

"No, you have to deliver it yourself. I won't bring you any message. Take this pill quickly and you will get better."

"..."

Lin Xing was still talking, but Lu Qing in her arms had already died, and the hand holding her dropped down.

Her eyes were full of bitterness and her hands were clenched tightly, not knowing what she was thinking.

Seeing this, the skeleton hiding in the dark suddenly appeared behind Lin Xing, preparing to launch another sneak attack.

As soon as he appeared, he was hit by Lin Xing's "Five Thunder Palm". He screamed miserably and then disappeared.

This thing seemed to be able to move only in this area. She put down Lu Qing's body and used all her strength to activate the "Thunder Sword". In an instant, this area was covered by thunder and lightning.

The skeleton could no longer hide and appeared, rushing towards Lin Xing.

Lin Xing looked at the skeleton, his eyes full of coldness, and roared, "Go to hell!"

A strong sword energy gushed out from Lin Xing's hand and headed straight for the skeleton. This time the skeleton did not dodge and took the blow of the "Thunder Dragon Slash" head-on.

In an instant, the bones of the skull began to break slowly, and soon turned into a pile of ashes.

When Lin Xing saw this, there was no emotion in his eyes.

Suddenly, she felt a different scent in the air.

He immediately looked towards the location of Lu Qing's body and saw that the "Blood Demon Grass" had drilled into Lu Qing's body. Lu Qing, who was originally dead, actually came back to life.

But the person is no longer the same person. His appearance and figure have all changed, especially his blood-red eyes. His cultivation level is also rising steadily, until it stopped in the late Nascent Soul stage.

"Get out of this body!" Lin Xing said coldly, looking at the person occupying Lu Qing's body.

"Little girl, I have been planning for so long, and finally I have found a body that matches mine, so that I can leave this damn place. Do you know how long it took me?"

"A full ten thousand years..." the man suddenly said excitedly.

Lin Xing listened, but was unmoved. He pointed his sword at him and said word by word, "If you don't leave this body, then you will die!"

"Don't be so excited, little girl. I admit that I am not as strong as you now, but no one can stop me if I want to leave." After saying that, the whole person turned into a ball of blood mist and disappeared here.

Lin Xing chased after him and found that the previous entrance to the cave had been restored to its original state. At the entrance of the cave, the carved runes had been destroyed, which was obviously the work of the man just now.

She didn't stop for long and chased all the way up. After leaving the "Quicksand Waterfall", she couldn't find any trace of it.

Lin Xing used the art of cloning and chased in every direction, but still found nothing.

After searching for more than ten days, she still had no clues. The Alchemist Conference was only a few days away, so she had to return to Alchemy City first.

In an attic in a courtyard of the Wen family, Wen Banyan stared blankly at the shattered jade token in her hand. She remained in this position for more than half a dozen days without a trace of life in her eyes.

"She should hate him, but why is she so sad and painful when he dies?"

Wen Banyan closed her eyes in pain. The sadness that had been suppressed for so long finally burst out at this moment, and tears flowed down uncontrollably.

Wen Zishu, who had just entered the yard, heard his sister crying, and quickly came to the door, knocked on the door and shouted, "Sister, what's wrong with you?"

"Sister, open the door..."

"Sister, if you don't open the door, I will rush in..."

Wen Zishu had never heard her sister's voice so sad, and she felt a little flustered.

Wen Banyan didn't notice the hurried knocks on the door at all, she was already immersed in her own world.

In the end, Wen Zishu took a lot of effort to break the door open.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw her sister sobbing. He walked over and whispered, "Sister, what's wrong with you?"

Wen Banyan slowly came back to her senses after hearing Wen Zishu's voice. She turned around, hugged Wen Zishu and burst into tears, saying, "Zishu, can you take me to see Brother Lu? Something happened to him. Something happened to him..."

Wen Zishu listened for a long time before he understood what his sister said. He knew that her sister had deep feelings for Brother Lu Qing, and he was the same, because that was Brother Lu who had watched him grow up since he was a child.

In fact, he still didn't believe that Brother Lu was the murderer of Wen Ze. There must be some reason. He also wanted to meet Brother Lu and ask him face to face. However, everything had to wait until the Alchemist Conference was over. He could only persuade him and said, "Sister, what could have happened to Brother Lu? Don't think too much."

"Once the Alchemist Conference is over, we will go find him and ask him about it."

"Zishu, let's go now, okay? Brother Lu is in trouble, he is really in trouble..." Wen Banyan said, shaking his head desperately.

Wen Zishu grabbed Wen Banyan's arm and said, "Sister, please wake up. The Alchemist Conference will be held in two days. We can't leave the family now, and father won't allow it. Just be patient for two days."
