Long Road to Stardom

Chapter 217: Secret elixir?

Not long after his apprentice woke up, the Nangong family sent people over to discuss some cooperation after Penglai Island. The prerequisite was to form a Taoist couple with Nangong Qingcheng, a direct disciple of the Nangong family. This was also what Feng'er had promised him before.

He naturally believed that his disciple would never do what she promised, but he was afraid that this female disciple would have inappropriate thoughts.

After the Third Elder hinted at it, he found out that Lin Xing really did not have such thoughts about his disciple, and he finally felt relieved.

I used to feel a little bit regretful that the place in Penglai Island was given to this female disciple, but now I think it is not a loss at all.

After all, Feng'er's injuries were indeed cured by the 'True Source Pill' she brought, so it was worth it in exchange for a place.

This time, Penglai Island’s main hope lies in Feng’er, and he does not have much hope for the other disciples.

In this way, the third elder asked a question and Lin Xing answered it.

After a while, Lin Xing was allowed to go back and rest.

Facing the Third Elder alone, Lin Xing would be lying if he said he wasn't nervous. After he came out, he realized that his clothes were already soaked with sweat.

The Third Elder's words and expressions all told her not to have any improper thoughts about the Senior Brother, and he almost said it out loud.

It would be a lie to say that I wasn't tempted, but when I heard Lei Hongyu mention that the senior brother was going to form a Taoist couple with someone, my heart was already suppressed at that time. At most, I just admired the senior brother's handsome face.

However, the six months she spent with the senior brother often gave her the illusion that something was wrong. Fortunately, she had always stayed true to herself and had not taken even a single step forward. Now that the Third Elder had mentioned it, she did not feel bad.

Lin Xing was walking and thinking along the way when a cry of surprise rang out, "Sister Lin Xing..."

Looking up, she saw Lei Hongyu walking towards her from afar, and soon he came to her.

"Sister Lin Xing, how come you suddenly become so beautiful after just not seeing you for a while?" Lei Hongyu said with amazement in his eyes.

"I took a secret pill and became like this." Lin Xing said jokingly.

"really?"

"Sister Lin Xing, do you have any more? Give me one, too. I want to be as handsome as my brother." Lei Hongyu looked at Lin Xing with some anticipation.

Lin Xing was speechless for a while, and then he said, "What I took was a secret medicine, just one pill. If you want it, wait until I develop it one day, and then I'll give it to you first."

"what..."

"Sister Lin Xing, when will you start researching?"

Lei Hongyu asked impatiently.

"Lei Hongyu, do you have a favorite female cultivator? Otherwise, why would you eat this? Besides, you look pretty good, just a little bit worse than Senior Brother. There's no need to be so obsessed with appearance."

Lin Xing's tone was filled with gossip, and he spoke earnestly and consolingly.

Lei Hongyu seemed to be touched by what he said. He lowered his head and then looked up at Lin Xing again. He repeated this several times before he said, "Sister Lin Xing, I do have someone I like, but now she has become so beautiful that I feel I am not worthy of her."

"Who is it? Do I know him?" Lin Xing asked with a gossipy look in his eyes.

“That’s it..that’s it…”

Just as Lei Hongyu was about to speak, a voice interrupted their conversation.

"Brother Lei, Master is looking for you."

When they heard this, they turned around at the same time and found that the eldest brother was behind them without them knowing.

Lei Hongyu could only swallow back what he wanted to say to Lin Xing, and responded to the senior brother, "Senior brother, I understand. I'll go right away."

"Sister Lin Xing, I will go meet the third elder first." Lei Hongyu did not forget to say this to Lin Xing before walking towards the third elder's residence.

Lei Hongyu was not there, and the Third Elder had warned him not to have too much contact with the eldest senior brother. Lin Xing felt a little embarrassed when he saw the eldest senior brother, and the two of them were silent for a long time.

Finally, it was Lin Xing who broke the awkwardness and said with a smile, "Big Brother, we have been traveling together for several days and I am a little tired. I will go back and rest first. You should also go to bed early."

After saying that, she left without waiting for Chu Lingfeng to answer.

Chu Lingfeng's eyes were full of confusion. They had clearly just returned from Dan City not long ago, so how come they became so unfamiliar in such a short period of time? Could it be because of that Junior Brother Lei just now?

Before he could think further, the Third Elder interrupted him with a voice transmission.

He looked at Lin Xing's departing back until he disappeared, then walked towards his master's residence.

As soon as they entered the cave, the third elder asked, "Feng'er, were you the one who asked Lei Hongyu to come and find your master?"

"Yes, Master."

Chu Lingfeng responded without any excuses.

"Feng'er, I am a little disappointed in you. There are still four years until the opening of Penglai Island. I hope you can focus on this and put other things aside for now."

"Don't forget what you promised me. If you want to go back on your word now, where will this put our sect? You must think carefully about this."

"Don't forget the Wanjian Sect who has been watching closely from the sidelines." The third elder said earnestly.

"Master, you don't have to worry. I have never forgotten it, and I will not joke about the development of the sect." Chu Lingfeng suppressed his emotions and said in a deep voice.

"That's good. Before Penglai Island opens, you should stay in your cave and improve your strength."

"Yes, Master."

At this time, Lin Xing took the token given by the third elder and opened the door to his residence in Tianyuan City.

As expected of the first city in Central Continent, this was probably the most luxurious residence she had ever seen. Although it did not look very eye-catching, every item in it would be worth a lot of money if sold. The concentration of spiritual energy in the cave was comparable to that of the spirit gathering array she used.

In four years, Penglai Island will be opened.

She needs to improve her strength during this period of time.

Due to the reason of his martial arts, Lin Xing has been unable to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, and now he is unable to break through.

To be on the Penglai Island Earth List, one must be at the Nascent Soul Stage, while to be on the Penglai Island Heaven List, one must be at the Spirit Transformation Stage. If she were to break through to the Spirit Transformation Stage, she would definitely not have the chance to go to Penglai Island this time.

The three elders had already given her a place on the Penglai Island Local Ranking very reluctantly, and it was only because of the "True Source Pill" she offered that she had this opportunity.

The prerequisite is that the disciple who originally held this position had an accident, so it was her turn.

Otherwise, her offering of the 'True Source Pill' would be useless, and she would only be compensated in other ways.

When Lin Xing thought of this, he didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

Regardless, she is now one of the candidates with a spot.

Now I should think carefully about how to improve my own strength.
