Long Road to Stardom

After being comforted by Zhizhi, Lin Xing stopped worrying about the matter and adjusted his state to prepare for the Alchemist Conference in two days.

Two days later.

"There are so many people...Master." Zhizhi sat on Lin Xing's shoulder and said with his mouth wide open.

"This Alchemist Conference is a major event in Alchemy City, so naturally there are a lot of people. What's so strange about this?"

Lin Xing looked at the bustling Dan City and said with some familiarity.

She talked to Zhizhi along the way, but they were not communicating in their minds. From time to time, someone looked over and looked at Zhizhi with inquiring eyes, wondering how a mouse could speak human words.

As they got closer to the place, more and more people came. Lin Xing could not bear so many people's gazes. He ignored Zhizhi's resentful look and put it into the spirit beast ring to look after Xiaobai who was sleeping inside.

Xiaobai has been in a deep sleep ever since he came back from the 'Demon Sealing Cave'. There is nothing wrong with his body. He is probably in the same category as 'Zhizhi'. When he wakes up, his cultivation level will probably have broken through.

Lin Xing truly envied this method of breaking through cultivation.

Soon, she arrived at the place where the Alchemist Conference was held. The scene could be described as crowded.

When she thought about refining the elixir in front of so many people, she suddenly felt very pressured.

I took a few deep breaths to calm myself down.

As one of the eight major alchemy families in Dancheng, the Wen family's location is quite good and can be seen at a glance.

Seeing this, Lin Xing took off his mask and walked over there.

The head of the Wen family saw Lin Xing coming from afar and immediately arranged for Wen Zishu to come out to pick him up. Seeing that his son was unmoved, the head of the Wen family suppressed his doubts and arranged for the housekeeper nearby to pick up Lin Xing.

As soon as she arrived, she saw Wen Zishu and Wen Banyan were there, but they looked at her like strangers and didn't even look at her.

Although she was prepared, Lin Xing felt a little bitter in her heart, but she soon got relieved and pretended not to know them.

Everyone present noticed this change, and the happiest one was the Fifth Elder.

If the Alchemist Conference was not about to begin, he would have wanted to have a good talk with Lin Xing to see if he could win her over. Then his chances of running for the position of Patriarch would be much greater.

The Fifth Elder thought happily, but Lin Xing just wanted to have nothing to do with the Wen family after the Alchemist Conference.

After listening to the precautions of this Alchemist Conference from the head of the Wen family, Lin Xing got up and left when he saw that the conference was about to begin, and went to the competition venue of this Alchemist Conference.

There is a stone tablet at the entrance which is used to check bone age. Every alchemist participating in the Alchemist Conference must pass through this stone tablet before entering. If the age is over 200 years old, the stone tablet will emit a white light to block it.

Lin Xing walked past the stone tablet without any reaction. He handed in the token given by the Wen family and was unexpectedly arranged to the center of the competition venue.

"The center is the center, why move it higher? Are you afraid that others can't see it?" Lin Xing sighed to the sky, feeling depressed.

"It seems like I'm really going to be treated like a monkey this time."

But she didn't know that the Alchemist Conference in Dancheng used to be a competition among some of the noble families in Dancheng, and it evolved into this later, so naturally there were some special treatments.

However, this special treatment is simply a shackle for Lin Xing.

Lin Xing came to his seat with a look of despair on his face, and consoled himself in his heart, "It's good to be in a high position, the view is really broad."

She arrived early, so many seats around were still empty.

As time went by, more and more people came to the side seats, and they were all familiar faces.

When they saw Lin Xing occupying the Wen family's position, although they were mentally prepared, they still felt some pressure.

Especially when I saw her squinting her eyes and smiling and saying hello, I felt even more stressed.

This was the first time that Lin Xing had seen so many alchemists. She roughly counted the alchemists participating in the Alchemist Conference and estimated that there were about a thousand or so.

However, no one came to the seat on Lin Xing's left. When it was almost time to start, she thought no one would come, but unexpectedly they arrived on time.

"She's really good-looking, and looks cool and noble. Unfortunately, the ambition in her eyes slightly ruins her beauty."

As soon as Bai Zeyu arrived, he noticed someone was staring at him. Finally, he couldn't help but turn his head and saw a smiling face greeting him.

This person was naturally Lin Xing. She didn't feel embarrassed at all about being caught by herself, and greeted him with a smile on her face.

"There's nothing I can do about it. Beautiful things always make people want to look at them more unconsciously."

If the Alchemist Conference hadn't started and she hadn't heard that the second prize was the 'Xuanyin Holy Flower', she would have wanted to look at it a little longer.

At this moment, Lin Xing only had eyes for the 'Xuanyin Holy Flower', which was one of the things needed in the secret method of resurrecting Xiaoxiao.

"She will definitely get the second place in the Alchemist Conference."

Lin Xing suddenly became full of fighting spirit, and her whole aura changed. The alchemist next to her instantly felt her change, and the pressure on her became greater.

Bai Zeyu looked excited, as if he had met his match.

His family had mentioned to him before that this guy would be the biggest dark horse in this Alchemist Conference. When he met him for the first time just now, he didn't take it seriously. Now it seems that this guy is quite good at pretending.

After listening to the rules and prizes of this Alchemist Conference, the first round of pill recipes were drawn soon.

In fact, what Lin Xing didn’t understand the most was why such a large-scale alchemy competition had to start from the lowest level of elixirs. Isn’t this a pure waste of time?

But what can she do? This competition is not organized by her, so she can only follow the rules.

Soon, the spiritual herbs needed for refining the first round of pills were distributed.

There is no pill recipe in it. The alchemists who come to the competition have to guess the pill to be refined from these spiritual herbs.

The spiritual herbs prepared for each alchemist are the same. If you guess wrong about the elixir to be refined, it basically means that the alchemy has failed.

The first round only has first-grade elixirs, and those who participate must be at least second-grade alchemists. Lin Xing doesn’t think anyone will make a mistake.

After the spiritual herbs were distributed, there was a huge incense burner in the center with a stick of incense lit for half an hour. The participating alchemists were placed around the incense burner, and Lin Xing was one of the ones closest to it.

As soon as the word "start" was spoken, someone immediately opened the storage bag, took out the spiritual herbs inside and began to look at them.

Lin Xing glanced at it curiously and was about to pick up the spiritual herb on the table next to him.

At this time, a burning air came from the left.

"Strange, she actually feels a little hot?"

Lin Xing immediately turned her head and looked over, her jaw dropped in shock.

"Is this a strange fire?"

"And it is the 'Blue Flame Glaze' that is most suitable for alchemy."

The first time he saw the strange fire, Lin Xing's eyes never left the sight of the strange fire.
