Long Road to Stardom

Chapter 263 Immortal Gate Conference

Lin Xing is very confident in the talismans he made. At first glance, they look much more powerful than those sold around.

She just didn't believe that there was no one with vision.

What she did just now attracted the attention of many monks, and she actually sold a few tickets.

“It paid off.”

As for the remaining unsold items, she decided to come again tomorrow.

She was sure that the person who bought it today would definitely come back to buy it again after using it.

Just as she was about to close her stall, the young monk came over again.

"Fellow Daoist, I need two first-order, low-grade 'Wood Release Talismans'."

After the young monk finished speaking, he took out two low-grade spirit stones from his bosom and handed them over.

"Sorry, the first-grade low-quality 'Wood Release Talisman' has been sold out. I still have a first-grade medium-quality 'Wood Release Talisman' here, which only costs five low-quality spirit stones."

"If you want it, buy it. If not, I'll close the stall." Lin Xing said bluntly.

The young cultivator watched Lin Xing put away the talismans. There were clearly still two first-grade low-grade "Wood Escape Talismans" in it, but he lied and said he had sold them all.

"You...you are deliberately not selling it to me." The young monk reacted at this moment and his face changed again and again.

"Yes, I did it on purpose."

Lin Xing spoke bluntly without refutation.

After saying that, he stood up and prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute, I bought that first-grade, mid-quality 'Wood Release Talisman'."

The young monk took out three lower-grade spirit stones from his arms with some pain, and handed them to Lin Xing together with the two in his hand.

Seeing this, Lin Xing took the spirit stone without saying a word, took out a first-grade mid-grade 'Wood Escape Talisman' and handed it over.

After the young monk got the talisman, he left in a hurry.

"It seems like he has encountered a difficult situation." Lin Xing guessed as he watched the young monk's departing back.

He then put it out of his mind and returned to his rented room to practice.

After practicing for a while, she stopped.

She took out a piece of wood and a knife from her storage bag and started carving.

The piece of wood already has the faint outline of a person, but the facial features have not been carved yet, so it is impossible to tell who it is.

She missed her senior brother only two days after leaving him.

"I don't know what he is doing now. Will he think of her?"

Lin Xing poured all his emotions into the knife, carving it carefully.

After a while, she put the things away and began to practice seriously.

Although the spiritual energy in Zhongnan Valley was richer, it only increased slightly by the time of cultivation near noon the next day.

"It will take a long time to break through the foundation-building stage."

It is not convenient for her to use the 'rain-making technique' to improve her cultivation where she lives now, so this is the only way for now.

Lin Xing took out some food from his storage bag. After eating, he brought the talismans that he had not sold yesterday and once again came to the open space where he had set up his stall in Zhongnan Valley.

Before she put it on the table, the cultivator who had bought the talisman yesterday came up to her as soon as he saw Lin Xing and asked, "Daoyou, do you still have the low-grade 'Fire Bomb Talisman' you bought yesterday?"

Lin Xing also recognized that this person was one of the monks who bought her talismans yesterday. She now had only nine talismans left, and the low-grade "Fire Bomb Talisman" was not among them.

"No more, but I have a mid-grade 'Fire Bomb Talisman'. Do you want it? You can take it away with just six low-grade spirit stones."

After Lin Xing finished speaking, seeing that he didn't move, he prepared to leave.

"I bought it."

When she heard this, she stopped, took out the first-grade intermediate-quality "Fire Bomb Talisman" and handed it to the man.

The cultivator took a look at the talisman in Lin Xing's hand, and without saying a word, he took out six low-grade spirit stones and bought them.

"It seems that if she can sell all the talismans today, she will have spiritual stones to buy some herbs to make pills."

Lin Xing thought with some happiness.

Sure enough, not long after she put the talismans on display, the remaining eight talismans were quickly sold out.

I spent four spirit stones and earned thirty-two, which is quite a profit.

With the prices in this world, I should be able to buy some low-level spiritual herbs.

Lin Xing closed his stall and went directly to the stall selling spiritual herbs.

After going around several stalls selling spiritual herbs, I couldn't find even one that was more than twenty years old.

Finally, she bought some spiritual herbs that could be used to make the "Bigu Pill".

The age of these spiritual herbs is no more than ten years, and they are basically around five or six years old.

She originally wanted to buy spiritual herbs for refining elixirs to improve her magical powers, but she never expected that the herbs were less than ten years old and were ridiculously expensive.

The spiritual stones in hand were simply not enough to buy it. The only option was to buy the spiritual herbs for refining the "Bigu Pill".

Even so, she doubted whether this spiritual herb could be used to refine the medicine. After all, it was of such a low age that its medicinal effect would definitely not be enough.

In order to make a living, Lin Xing spent three low-grade spirit stones to buy thirty blank talisman papers before returning to his room.

After twenty days of hard work, Lin Xing finally saved up more than three hundred low-grade spirit stones.

Because he frequently sold talismans, even though he had never sold even a top-grade talisman, he was still targeted.

Fortunately, no one in Zhongnan Valley dared to take action yet, but that may not be the case after we get out.

During this period, there was also a group of independent cultivators headed by a person who had reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, who wanted to recruit others to work together in the Zhongnan Valley.

Lin Xing refused on the spot.

She would rather be alone, as she has so many secrets that she doesn't want anyone to know.

This made the cultivator who had reached the great perfection of Qi training bear a grudge against him.

Lin Xing had no feelings about this, and even if he knew it, it wouldn't matter.

As long as the cultivator is not at the Foundation Establishment stage or above, any Qi Refining stage cultivator who dares to cause trouble to her will end up with nothing in return.

More and more monks came to Zhongnan Valley, which made her realize that something was wrong.

How could there be so many monks gathering at such an ordinary exchange meeting, with very few of them over the age of thirty?

After asking around a bit, she finally found out.

It turned out that the Immortal Sect Conference held by the eight major sects every ten years had arrived in this world again.

The main reason turned out to be because of the 'Foundation Building Pill'.

As the spiritual energy in this world is becoming increasingly thin, the spiritual herbs used to refine the "Foundation Building Pill" have long been extinct and can only be obtained in some forbidden areas and secret realms.

The secret realms are controlled by these eight major sects.

Some independent cultivators, families, and forces simply have no channels to obtain the "Foundation Building Pill".

It was fine at the beginning, but conflicts arose over time. From time to time, monks who could not get the Foundation Establishment Pill would form teams to intercept and kill the low-level disciples of the eight major sects.

In order to prevent this situation from escalating, the top leaders of the eight major sects discussed and launched such an Immortal Sect Conference.

The Immortal Gate Conference selects people in the form of a competition. As long as you can make it into the top ten of the Immortal Gate Conference, you can become a disciple of one of the eight major sects, and after entering, you can also obtain a foundation-building pill.

In this way, the conflict between the two can be eliminated. The qualifications of the cultivators who can make it into the top ten will not be too bad, and the eight major sects will not suffer a loss if they are accepted as disciples, and the "Foundation Building Pill" will not be lost outside. It is simply a good thing that has the best of both worlds.
