Long Road to Stardom

Lin Xing took the jade slip of "Star Art" from the bookshelf and placed it on his forehead. With the previous experience, his head didn't hurt so much this time. Soon, all the information about this set of exercises appeared in his mind.

From Qi Refining, Building Foundation, Golden Elixir, Nascent Soul, Transformation of the Spirit, Cave Void, Tribulation, to Mahayana, but now she can only look through the practice formulas before Qi Refining.

After Lin Xing finished all this, he put the jade slip back on the bookshelf, then flipped through other bookshelves and selected two more books on martial arts.

After carefully looking through it for a long time, she chose a book called "Spiritual Scriptures". Through practicing this method, she can speed up the absorption of spiritual energy and widen the meridians in her body, allowing the meridians in her body to store more spiritual power.

The jade slip also notes: "This technique is extremely difficult to practice. It is not recommended to practice without a strong will. Otherwise, not only will you fail to practice successfully, but it will also affect your own cultivation."

When Lin Xing saw this, she instinctively wanted to put it back on the bookshelf, but when she thought about the fact that her chosen main practice, 'Star Art', required natural foundation building, she felt a feeling in her heart that urged her to practice this 'Spiritual Scripture'.

Based on her inner thoughts, she decided to practice the "Ling Jing Jue" and placed the jade slip between her eyebrows. Instantly, all the information about the "Ling Jing Jue" technique appeared in her mind. However, she could only see the first level. This technique had to be practiced every time she reached a certain stage, and each time was more painful than the last.

When Lin Xing saw this, she immediately had a bad feeling in her heart, but since she had already made her choice, she could only bite the bullet and go on.

She also chose a book called 'Qingmu Jue' according to her own spiritual roots. This method can communicate with plants to attack, and the vitality cultivated is not only effective in healing, but also can help understand the properties of herbs. This is entirely in preparation for her future alchemy.

She followed suit and placed the jade slip of "Qing Mu Jue" between her eyebrows. Another book of exercises appeared in her mind, but she could only open the first level. She couldn't see the rest until she reached a certain level of practice.

Lin Xing chose the martial arts and did not stay for long. After bidding farewell to the old man, he came to a place not far away. Here were the immortal cranes raised by the sect, which were specially used for new disciples.

She rode a crane to the Hall of Things at the foot of Danfeng Mountain.

Walking into the Hall of Affairs, there were several children about her age inside. Lin Xing came to a counter and took out a jade token to state her purpose.

A middle-aged man inside took out a map and handed it to Lin Xing. Lin Xing looked at the marks on the map. Red meant that the place was already inhabited, and green meant that no one had lived there yet.

Lin Xing marked a more remote location and handed it to the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man took the map, and soon took out a brownish-green wooden sign and handed it to Lin Xing. Lin Xing took the sign, saluted, and walked towards the location on the map.

The residences for newly-initiated disciples were all at the foot of the mountain, not far from the Hall of Affairs, but she chose a more remote location, and it took her a long time to walk to the place she chose.

According to the method in the "Sect Manual", Lin Xing shone the wooden sign towards a rune in front of the door. The gate opened instantly and the layout inside appeared before her eyes.

Inside the courtyard gate was a room made of bamboo. In front of the room were two spiritual fields. Although they were not big, they still surprised Lin Xing greatly.

There is a bamboo forest outside the yard, and a stream beside the bamboo forest, which will make it much more convenient to get water in the future.

Walking inside, Lin Xing closed the courtyard door and shone the wooden sign on the rune behind the door. The residence was covered by a barrier. The "Sect Manual" wrote that this barrier could resist the consciousness below the Nascent Soul stage. If someone trespassed, the restriction at the door would trigger an attack on the trespassing disciple. It seemed quite safe.

Lin Xing went straight to the bamboo house, where there was a bed, a table, four chairs, a teapot and some fruits on the table. There was only a pillow and a quilt on the bed.

There is a screen on the left side of the house, and behind the screen there is a vaguely visible wooden barrel, probably used for bathing.

The right side is much simpler, with only a simple cushion, which should be the place for practicing.

Lin Xing put his things away and went to bed to rest. He thought that he had already slept for a whole day and wondered if others had started practicing.

He immediately felt that he had no time to waste, so he got up from the bed and sat cross-legged on the cushion.

Lin Xing closed his eyes and flipped through the introductory formula of the 'Star Art' in his mind.

If you want to practice, you must first sense the spiritual power around you, guide the spiritual power into your body, and then circulate the meridians for a circle before you are complete.

Lin Xing sat cross-legged on the cushion, carefully sensing the spiritual energy in the air.

She sat cross-legged on the cushion for half a day without feeling anything. She looked out the window and saw that the sky was getting darker and her stomach was growling.

She had no choice but to stand up and prepare to find something to eat. Her legs were a little stiff after sitting cross-legged for so long, so she lay flat on the ground for a moment. After her legs regained feeling, she stood up and sat on a chair next to the table. She reached out to eat the fruit on the table.

As soon as she took a bite, Lin Xing noticed something different. This fruit tasted better than any other fruit she had ever eaten. Could it be the "spiritual fruit" that others talked about?

Lin Xing felt full after eating one. He instinctively wanted to eat the second one, but then he thought about it and put it back. There were only a few spiritual fruits, so he had to eat them sparingly.

After eating and drinking, she returned to the cushion and sat cross-legged, continuing to feel the spiritual energy around her.

After a long time, Lin Xing still couldn't figure it out. What went wrong? Was he really that bad, or did he have too many distracting thoughts?

Lin Xing forced himself not to think about messy things. The more he did so, the more he thought about it.

It seems that I am really bad and can't even cause the entry into the body. I opened my eyes and looked at the stars in the sky through the window. I don't know if the old lady is watching her from above. I unconsciously recalled the past and it kept replaying in my mind.

Lin Xing was unaware that his entire body was enveloped in moonlight, and the spiritual energy around him became active.

It was a long time before she noticed this situation. She quickly closed her eyes and felt the spiritual energy around her. There seemed to be many more light spots of different colors in the dark air. She touched the blue light spot next to her and it floated away.

She tried to touch the red light spots again, and the light spots went straight into her body. Seeing this, Lin Xing hurriedly guided the red light spots into her body according to the mantra. More and more red light spots entered her body, and the surrounding green light spots were also attracted and ran directly into her body.

After reaching a certain level, Lin Xing felt a warm current in her body, and she guided this warm current to circulate through the meridians throughout her body.

After running his meridians for a circle, Lin Xing opened his eyes and it was already dawn. He checked his body and found that he had successfully drawn Qi into his body and reached the first level of Qi Refining.
