Zan Xing (The Hairpin Star)

Chapter 1 : Time Travel (1)

In late summer, the heat had not yet dissipated, and the sun on Dusu Mountain was blazing hot above people's heads.

The mountain road on Dusu Mountain was steep, with towering rocks. Between the two cliffs, a stream flowed from top to bottom. The splashing stream water hit the green rocks and danced into tiny water droplets.

A line of carriages and horses stopped under the shade of trees near the stream; people and horses were taking water from the stream to cool off. This was the carriage of the Wang family of Yuecheng. They were on their way to the Taiyan Sect, a major sect in Duzhou, to select disciples.

The Taiyan Sect was one of the major sects in Duzhou. In the selection competition held every ten years, the best from all the cities in Duzhou would gather here to show their magical powers, just to stand out in the selection competition and embark on the path of cultivation.

Wang Shao, the young master of Yue City, was sitting in the carriage to cool off. He was seventeen years old this year and had reached the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, only one step away from the third stage of Foundation Establishment. There were still dozens of days before the selection competition at Gufeng Mountain. In these dozens of days, as long as he used spiritual medicine and elixirs every day to nourish himself and practiced continuously, he might be able to enter the late stage of Foundation Establishment before the selection competition begins.

Wang Shao was the hope of the entire Yue City.

Yue City was a small border town. On the map of Duzhou, the existence of this city could not even be seen. There had been no cultivator who could successfully enter the Golden Core stage in the city for many years.

Wang Shao was refining Qi at the age of ten and building his foundation at the age of twelve. It took him five years to progress from the first level of Foundation Establishment to the second level. If he could successfully break through this time, he would be the first genius in Yue City to enter the late stage of Foundation Establishment before the age of eighteen. If he could successfully enter the Taiyan Sect and become a disciple of the Taiyan Sect, the people of the entire Yue City would be proud of him.

Therefore, all the spiritual stones, spiritual medicines and elixirs in the entire Yue City were offered as tribute to this genius.

Next to Wang Shao, there was also a beautiful girl in green. This was Wang Shao's fiancee, Yang Zan Xing, the eldest daughter of the Yang family in Yue City. This time, she accompanied Wang Shao to the Taiyan Sect selection competition. Miss Yang had little interest in cultivating immortals. She was about the same age as Wang Shao, but she was only at the early stage of Qi Refining. For women in Yue City, it was better to marry a cultivator husband than to practice hard, so that they could be proud of it, had no worries about food and clothing, and be respected.

"A Shao, have some tea," Miss Yang smiled and held a cup of tea to Wang Shao's lips.

Wang Shao's eyes fell on the other side, and he stood up and said, "I'll go out for a while."

He flicked his sleeves and got off the carriage. Miss Yang looked at the direction he was going, and her beautiful face suddenly showed a bit of ferocity. She gritted her teeth and said, "That vixen!"

The maid Hong Su came up and asked worriedly, "Miss, the young master is not going to take that woman in, right?"

"She's dreaming!"
