Long Road to Stardom

Chapter 260: Sand Array

That day, Lin Xing and his senior brother were sitting in the lobby of the inn eating.

After a while, a young cultivator at the sixth level of Qi Refining came in and sat down in a corner.

Lin Xing's eyes flashed, and then he continued to eat the food on the table with his head down.

After a while, another cultivator came who looked about the same age as the previous one, but his realm was a little higher, at the eighth level of Qi Refining Stage.

"Brother Chen, you are here, please sit down."

After saying this, the man set up a soundproof enclosure and then continued the conversation.

Lin Xing's realm was three levels higher than his, so he could barely hear some of what was said.

After they left, she and her senior brother returned to the room.

"Xing'er, did you find something?"

After his junior sister set up the barrier, Chu Lingfeng began to ask.

"Well, I heard them mention a place called Zhongnan Valley from time to time, where there seemed to be many immortal cultivators gathered."

"It's a pity they didn't say where this place is."

"But we have been at the border for more than a year and have never heard of any valley."

Lin Xing directly told what he knew.

Chu Lingfeng was silent for a moment before he slowly said, "Xing'er, do you want to go there?"

"Ling Feng, do you know that place?"

Lin Xing said with surprise in his eyes.

“I don’t know if it’s there.”

"It is rumored that local people get lost every time they go there and end up back where they started without realizing it."

"That place is very remote, and there are often sandstorms. Few people go there, so not many people know about it."

"I also saw it in a file after I took over the border."

Chu Lingfeng thought about it and decided to say it out loud.

"Junior sister has been with him for more than a year, and he is already very content. He also realizes that he can't stay in this world for much longer."

"It's a good opportunity to let her leave."

Looking at his junior sister in front of him, Chu Lingfeng was reluctant to leave, but he continued to speak, "Xing'er, that place is twenty miles away from here."

"But if I go, I may never come back here. What will you do?" Lin Xing blurted out what was in his heart.

Suddenly realizing something was wrong, he continued, "I just think the people here have a hard time. I want to stay for a while and improve the environment here before leaving."

Although Chu Lingfeng was happy about what she said, he didn't show it at all. He clenched his palms where Lin Xing couldn't see and said, "Xing'er, just go. I will wait for you at the border."

"Okay, I see."

"But I have to take you back to Guanshi City first."

It was supposed to be a happy thing, but now she was not in the mood and responded in a bland tone.

Knowing that there was something wrong with his current state, he quickly recited the "Heart Purification Mantra" twice in his mind before suppressing it.

Before leaving here, she did not forget to take a rainy day and directly broke through to the tenth level of Qi Refining.

Although the rain was a bit sudden, with so many cultivators coming and going, who could guess who made the rain?

It's just a rain, nothing special.

Three days later, they returned to Guanshi City.

Lin Xing stayed in Guanshi City for another two days and left at night.

In the end, she didn't break the window paper. She had a knot in her heart and really couldn't do it.

"I'll ask you again when I come back, Senior Brother."

......

Since the eldest senior brother was not around, Lin Xing traveled for a whole day to get to this place.

Suddenly a strong wind blew, and dust filled the sky. Lin Xing immediately released a stream of spiritual energy, and a shield instantly protected her entire body.

"Low realm means trouble."

Lin Xing spat out a mouthful of sand and said depressedly.

After walking for a while, she felt a little strange because she hadn't passed through the 'sand maze' and hadn't met any monks.

Her realm has become lower, but she shouldn't have lost the knowledge she learned about formations!

Suddenly a figure appeared in front of him, and Lin Xing was slightly stunned.

With such strong wind and sand, the person who would appear here at this time must not be a local citizen. She used the gaze technique to take a look and found that he was indeed a cultivator.

The young man in the distance seemed to notice that someone was looking at him, so he turned around and looked over.

When he saw Lin Xing, a look of surprise appeared on his face and he walked over quickly.

"My fellow Taoist, you are also going to Zhongnan Valley, right?"

"My name is Wen Xinghuai from the Wen family of Wanxi Mountain. I don't know what your name is."

It's rare to meet a cultivator, Wen Xinghuai asked impatiently.

"I am just a casual cultivator, my surname is Lin and my given name is Feng."

Lin Xing responded indifferently. At this time, he also saw the man's appearance clearly. He was actually a teenager of about fifteen years old. His appearance could only be considered handsome. In the world of immortal cultivation, this kind of appearance was really very common, but his skin was quite white.

The look in his eyes is too innocent. It's obvious that he has never been out of the house and doesn't know how dangerous the world of cultivation is.

Looking at his whole body, it was covered with sand and dust, and it was obvious that he did not have the spiritual power to continue to activate the shield.

Even so, he dared to come to him so carelessly and even told him about his family background.

"Oh, it's Fellow Daoist Lin. I would like to go to Zhongnan Valley with you. Are you willing?" the young man asked in a familiar tone.

Lin Xing just wanted to know some things about the immortal cultivation world on this continent, so he agreed directly. Such a simple cultivator is rare, so he could try to get some advice from him.

"Of course, let's go together now!" Lin Xing pretended to think for a moment and agreed.

"Friend Lin, I have an unwelcome request."

"I have been in this 'sand array' for two days and two nights. Now my spiritual power is exhausted. Can I borrow your spiritual shield?" The young man said with anticipation and embarrassment in his eyes.

When Lin Xing heard the boy's request, there was no surprise on his face.

He glanced at him, and the next second, a stream of spiritual power popped out from his hand, and a shield protected the boy's whole body.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, thank you so much!" the young man said excitedly.

You know, he has been trapped in this 'sand maze' for a long time and has eaten a lot of sand.

Lin Xing smiled and responded, "It's just a small favor, don't take it to heart."

After a while, he asked, "Friend Wen, is this your first time going out?"

"Friend Lin has figured it out!"

"This is indeed my first time going out, and I didn't expect to be trapped by this formation."

"I see that Fellow Daoist Lin looks relaxed inside this formation. I think he should be able to get out!"

This boy looks quite innocent. She hasn't even tried to trick him, but he's trying to trick her.

Lin Xing sighed inwardly before speaking, "Of course, follow me!"

"Then I would like to thank you, Brother Lin." The young man said with a look of surprise on his face.

Lin Xing glanced at the young man and felt speechless. Fortunately, he met her, otherwise he would probably have been killed by someone else the first time he went out.
