Long Road to Stardom

Suddenly, a voice came from my ear, "Lin Xing, six years old, dual spiritual roots of fire and wood."

She opened her eyes with surprise, realizing that she actually had spiritual roots. She was so excited and laughing that people thought she was crazy.

After a while, Lin Xing's excited heart slowly calmed down. Following the instructions of the blue-robed man, he came to the middle position and stood next to the white-robed man.

There were three children beside her, all of whom looked older than her. They should be the children who were tested earlier to have spiritual roots.

Not long after I walked behind the man in white robe, I heard two voices coming at the same time.

"Lei Hongyu, eight years old, mutant thunder spirit root."

"Chen Ming, fifteen years old, five spiritual roots of gold, wood, water, fire and earth."

It’s Brother Chen and Lei Hongyu. It seems the three of them can be together again. I just don’t know which kind of spiritual roots is better in this world of cultivating immortals.

When Lin Xing saw Brother Chen and Lei Hongyu approaching, she quickly greeted them. She thought that there were many people watching around and she should be quiet. Otherwise, if she angered these people and they didn't take her to practice Taoism, all her efforts would be in vain.

As the night slowly fell, fewer and fewer children came to take the test. During this time, a man in a blue robe gave each of them some food so that they wouldn't starve. It seemed that he was very thoughtful.

After waiting for a while, the sky became completely dark, no children came to take the test, and the crowd around gradually dispersed.

The man in white robes just waved his hand, and everything placed on the square disappeared. Lin Xing was surprised. This cultivation of immortals was really incredible. He had only imagined it in novels before, but it felt so magical when he actually saw it.

In addition to the three of them, there were five other children whose spiritual roots were tested that day, and most of them had three or four spiritual roots.

Unexpectedly, among hundreds of thousands of people, there are only a few who have spiritual roots. She instantly stopped caring about whether her spiritual roots were good or not. It was already a great luck to have spiritual roots.

The man in the white robe took away all the things and said to the group of children in front of him, "Go back and say goodbye to your family tonight. Gather here tomorrow morning to send you to the sect to learn immortal arts."

After saying this, the man in white robe gave each child a purse containing ten taels of gold. It seemed to be compensation for their families, as they didn't know when they would be able to come back and see each other again.

After watching the man in white robe leave, the three of them walked back to the ruined temple together.

I felt a little envious when I saw other children being picked up by their parents.

Along the way, the three of them didn't speak, and no one knew what they were thinking. When they returned to the ruined temple, this state was immediately broken.

The three of them smiled at each other and talked for a long time. They were really sleepy so they went to their beds to sleep, waiting for tomorrow to come.

Lin Xing got up early in the morning to pack her things. Although there was not much to pack, she was excited. She woke up after only a short sleep last night and was extremely excited. In order not to wake them up, she waited for a long time before getting out of bed to pack her things.

After a while, the two woke up and found it unbelievable that Lin Xing got up earlier than them.

Seeing this, the two of them hurriedly got up, washed, ate the breakfast prepared by Lin Xing, packed some clothes, and went together to the square in front of the palace where the test took place yesterday.

As we approached the square, we saw someone waiting there from afar.

When they got there, they realized that they were the only three people left who hadn't arrived yet.

When the man in white robe saw that everyone was present, he waved his hand and a boat appeared on the ground. It was originally only a small boat, but it kept getting bigger and bigger. It looked like it could hold more than 30 people. There were many chairs in the middle. There were some patterns and grooves carved on the bow of the boat, and no one knew what it was used for.

Seeing the man in white robe flying to the bow and then lifting all the children into the boat, Lin Xing couldn't hide the surprise on his face.

She found a seat and sat down. Brother Chen and Lei Hongyu also sat beside her. Seeing this, the other children also found a seat in the boat and sat down.

Then a few men in blue robes sat not far behind them, and then the ship slowly rose into the sky. The ship was wrapped in a light cover, and no wind could be felt while sitting inside. It seemed that the light cover was designed to prevent them from being blown by the wind or something. It was quite thoughtful.

The spacecraft flew in the sky for nearly half a month before reaching its destination.

During this period, Lin Xing learned that the sect he was going to was the number one sect in Qingfeng Continent, the Xuanyue Sect, which had more than 130,000 disciples. This time, there was a second test of the immortal path to the sect, which would show a person's qualifications.

In the Qingfeng Continent, spiritual roots are not the only selection criterion. Although the great war between immortals and demons 60,000 years ago affected this continent, there are still many resources and techniques left. They pay more attention to qualifications, and spiritual roots are only the entry standard.

The place where they lived before was just a country under the jurisdiction of the sect. The white-robed man in the lead was the national master of Yueling Kingdom, but they were not allowed to address him as the national master. Instead, they were asked to call him Senior Brother Kong. After all, since they had joined the sect, they were fellow disciples.

They followed Senior Brother Kong to a venue at the foot of a mountain in the sect. The venue was so large that it could accommodate thousands of people. On the way here, they met many people like Senior Brother Kong, who came here with several children.

There is a staircase in front of the venue, which seems to be the "road to immortality" or "road to self-examination" as they call it.

Lin Xing hung the jade token given by Senior Brother Kong around his waist, and then waited at the venue like the other children.

A bell rang, and the children in front walked onto the "Road to Immortality" one after another, and Lin Xing followed closely behind.

I heard that this 'road to immortality' has 10,000 steps. If you climb less than 3,000 steps, you can only be a registered disciple. If you climb between 3,000 and 6,000 steps, you are an outer disciple. If you climb above 6,000 steps, you are an inner disciple. If you climb 10,000 steps, you will be accepted as a personal disciple.

No one reached the summit ten years ago, and no one knew if anyone would succeed this time. Lin Xing couldn't count on that. It was good enough for him to enter the inner sect, where he could enjoy a year of training for free, and all resources during this period would be provided by the sect.

Outer disciples practice for free for half a year, and registered disciples practice for three months. Once the time is up, they have to fight for future practice resources on their own.

However, the sect still distributes a certain amount of resources every month.

A direct disciple is given forty cultivation pills and fifty low-grade spirit stones per month.

Inner disciples are given thirty cultivation pills and thirty low-grade spirit stones per month.

Outer disciples are given twenty cultivation pills and twenty low-grade spirit stones per month.

Registered disciples are given ten cultivation pills and ten low-grade spirit stones per month.

Such a gap prompted Lin Xing to decide that he had to climb more than 6,000 steps even if he had to.

Lin Xing looked at his own arms and legs and did not rush up. Instead, he adjusted his rhythm according to his breathing and walked up slowly. Unknowingly, he surpassed many people.
