Long Road to Stardom

This inn was much worse than the one she stayed in before, but she didn't need that many spirit stones, so she rented the cheapest room, which only cost five low-grade spirit stones a day. The spirit stones she had left were just enough for a year's rent.

Lin Xing came to the rented room, made some simple arrangements, and prepared to start refining pills. She was penniless now, and she relied on these spiritual herbs to refine pills to turn her life around.

After she sorted out all the spiritual herbs, she began her journey of refining pills, starting with the third-grade pills.

After practicing multitasking during the beast tide, Lin Xing directly took out both alchemy furnaces and started refining at the same time.

It was very easy for her to refine the elixir before, and now that she is in the Nascent Soul stage and her consciousness is even stronger, she only took three days to refine all the spiritual herbs for the third-grade elixir.

After recovering her spiritual power, she began to refine a fourth-grade elixir. Lin Xing put the pitch-black alchemy furnace back into the storage ring and took out the spiritual herbs for the fourth-grade elixir.

After carefully combing through the spiritual herbs, she began to refine them. A fourth-grade elixir was more difficult to make than a third-grade elixir, but it was not a problem for her now.

She also wanted to use two furnaces to refine pills at the same time, but the furnace she bought before could only refine third-grade pills at most, so she had to give up this idea.

Lin Xing spent ten days to refine the fourth-grade elixir without a single failure. As expected, the higher his cultivation level, the stronger his spiritual awareness became, the easier it was to refine the elixir, and his success rate also increased.

With a 100% success rate in refining fourth-grade elixirs, Lin Xing prepared to try refining fifth-grade elixirs.

She carefully took out the spiritual herbs for refining the fifth-grade elixir and placed them in place. The spiritual herbs for this fifth-grade elixir were not like the previous ones. Not only could many of them not be combed, but they also had to be matched with various auxiliary spiritual herbs to maintain a balance before the elixir could be refined.

Therefore, the spiritual herbs required to refine a fifth-grade elixir are more than twice as many as those required to refine a fourth-grade elixir. There must not be any mistakes in the order of the spiritual herbs, otherwise the elixir will be directly invalidated.

However, the price of a fifth-grade elixir is three times that of a fourth-grade elixir. As long as an elixir of the fifth grade or above appears, it will basically be bought immediately without hesitation.

Many alchemists are stuck in refining fifth-grade elixirs, and some alchemists cannot refine a single fifth-grade elixir in their entire lives.

Lin Xing didn’t know whether this situation would happen to her, but she was still very confident in herself.

After recovering the spiritual power in his body, Lin Xing took a deep breath and began to concentrate on refining the fifth-grade elixir.

One day later, Lin Xing succeeded in refining the first furnace, but only produced three low-grade pills.

There were indeed a few small mistakes during the process, but fortunately, the order of the spiritual herbs was not wrong. She used her powerful spiritual sense to force them back, and the characteristics of the alchemy furnace enabled her to succeed in refining the fifth-grade elixir for the first time.

Lin Xing was glad that he was already a Nascent Soul cultivator, otherwise he would have to control so many spiritual herbs and would fail in refining due to insufficient spiritual power in his body.

Presumably, those alchemists who were able to refine fifth-grade elixirs when they were in the golden elixir stage probably ate elixirs while refining them, otherwise it would be basically impossible to succeed.

The spiritual power in her body is much greater than that of ordinary cultivators, but although refining this fifth-grade elixir is not extremely difficult, it is not easy either.

After having this experience, the remaining batches of fifth-grade pills were all successfully refined. However, the success rate of each batch was basically only about eight pills, which was not very high. Moreover, there was not a single mid-grade pill, all of them were low-grade pills. Fortunately, there was no failure, so Lin Xing could barely accept it.

Lin Xing spent nearly a month exchanging all the spiritual herbs he bought for medicinal pills, but only five days had passed outside.

After simply tidying up the room, Lin Xing left the inn and headed towards the shop that specialized in selling medicinal pills.

During the short time on the way to the store, she heard all kinds of things about a Nascent Soul cultivator in "Lu City". She didn't expect that a cultivator would be so gossipy, but she always felt that the person he was talking about was unusually familiar.

When they were almost at the shop, Lin Xing suddenly realized why it felt so familiar. This was exactly how she had dressed before.

But she didn't do anything in the past five days, so how come people said she had a "Longyang fetish"?

She was puzzled and thought about the time when she bumped into that man five days ago. Could it be that she really had this habit?

Lin Xing's gossipy heart was instantly ignited. She wanted to run up to that person and ask him about it, but she didn't have the courage. If he knew that she had been pretending to be him, he would be in big trouble. She could only suppress her gossipy heart and didn't think it was strange that other cultivators were so gossipy!

Gu Chen was also a little overwhelmed by these rumors. Now he has to wear a mask whenever he goes out to avoid being recognized.

Otherwise, every time he went out, many male cultivators turned around and ran away when they saw him, and the female cultivators who used to flirt with him now glared at him. However, his cultivation level was there, and there were indeed a few male cultivators who came forward to recommend themselves. If "Lucheng" had not prohibited taking action, he would have chopped these people into pieces long ago, and he hated the person who dressed up as him even more.

Lin Xing came to "Bai Dan Pavilion". "Bai Dan Pavilion" and "Baicao Pavilion" next to it are the same company, but the business of the two sides is very different.

However, seeing that the counters in "Bai Dan Pavilion" were basically empty, Lin Xing could understand this situation.

It seems that the impact of the beast tide is quite large. After several years, the demand for elixirs still exceeds the supply.

The "Bai Dan Pavilion" has three floors, and each floor is guarded by a servant with foundation-building cultivation.

Lin Xing walked around the first floor of "Bai Dan Pavilion". The waiter sat in front of a counter without moving, without even raising his eyes.

She immediately wanted to leave the shop and find another one, but the shops selling elixirs along the way were basically in the same situation, and the shop she found was the most famous shop in Thunder Continent. She thought the situation wouldn't be much better if she went to other shops. Anyway, she was selling elixirs, not buying them, so she felt relieved immediately.

She had thought about setting up a stall to sell the pills, but this was not a place she was familiar with and it was inevitable that she would be targeted. The fifth-grade pills she had were something that all the Divine Transformation cultivators wanted, so it was necessary to find a store to cooperate with, which could at least reduce some potential dangers.

Lin Xing went straight to the waiter's counter and knocked a few times.

When Ma Fu came to his senses, he saw a Jindan monk staring at him at the counter in front of him. He stood up hurriedly and said, "Fairy, I am sorry for not welcoming you to our store. I hope you will forgive me for my poor hospitality."

"But you can see the current state of our store. There is not a single pill in the store. If you want to buy some, you can only look somewhere else."
