Steady Mortal Path: Starting from Obtaining the Golden Core Inheritance

A year ago, the Nangong family sealed off access to the core area of ​​the Wanfeng Mountains.

Ordinary independent cultivators can only enter the outer perimeter of the Wanfeng Mountains.

Today, members of the Nangong family patrol the Wanfeng Mountains day and night, and anyone found trespassing is immediately and strictly expelled.

Lin Changsheng and the other peak masters of the local dojos also added new provisions to the lease agreements for their dojos.

Those who rent a temple locally can have most of their rental fees reduced, but they must assist the Nangong family in entering the Wanfeng Mountains to eliminate monsters on a regular basis, and must complete a certain number of eliminations each year.

Due to years of seclusion and cultivation, Lin Changsheng has accumulated a considerable number of cleanup missions.

During his secluded cultivation, Nangong Yue had visited him many times to urge him to continue. Only after Lin Changsheng wrote a letter to Nangong Qingtan was he able to safely enter seclusion.

However, the number of monsters that need to be eliminated each year continues to accumulate and has not been reduced to zero.

The entire Nangong family, including Nangong Qingtan, is constantly exterminating the demonic beasts in the Wanfeng Mountains. As a user of the spiritual veins, he naturally cannot stand aside.

……

half a month later.

Lin Changsheng left the Changchun Peak Dojo and activated his flying boat magic artifact to cross the outer perimeter of the Wanfeng Mountain Range.

To enter the interior of the mountains, one needs a token specially made by the Nangong family.

Each Foundation Establishment cultivator who carries out a cleanup mission receives this token.

After verifying his identity, Lin Changsheng charged straight in, targeting and killing monsters of the second rank or higher.

Having broken through to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, the range he could perceive in the mountains and forests became much wider.

It can easily and accurately locate the aura of various second-tier demonic beasts.

This saved him the trouble of searching for the monsters, saving him a lot of time in clearing them out.

In less than a month, with the help of the Crimson Centipede and the Wind Crow, Lin Changsheng exceeded his target in the extermination mission.

Within a radius of several thousand miles, almost all the second-tier demonic beasts were wiped out by him.

During this time, Lin Changsheng also took the initiative to sense the situation deep within the Wanfeng Mountains out of curiosity.

The result was that with just a rough sense, they detected the auras of more than ten 'quasi-third-tier' demonic beasts, as well as three or four real third-tier demonic beasts.

There was even a terrifying aura among them that sent chills down his spine; even from a great distance, it still made him feel uneasy.

"That's at least a peak third-tier demonic beast, and its strength is even above that of True Person Nangong!"

Lin Changsheng's expression changed slightly, his heart filled with unease.

Suddenly, the entire Wanfeng Mountain Range seemed unsafe, so he quickly took his spoils and fled far away.

Even after leaving the Wanfeng Mountains and returning to Changchun Peak, I still felt lingering fear.

No wonder that over the years, the Nangong family has only focused on eliminating the surrounding monsters, without truly controlling the spiritual veins within the Wanfeng Mountains.

It turns out that a powerful demon at the peak of the third tier was entrenched here!

Judging solely from its aura, this demonic beast is almost comparable to the 'Heavenly Poison True Man' at his peak.

Given the current strength of the Nangong family, it would be difficult to drive them away.

"I hope the Nangong family can maintain the current situation. Although this place is somewhat chaotic, the Daoist temple is close to a fourth-order spiritual vein. The quality of the spiritual vein has improved slightly and has reached the second-order high-grade, which is enough for me to cultivate to the late stage of Foundation Establishment."

Lin Changsheng prayed in his heart.

He was unwilling to give up the Changchun Peak Dojo unless absolutely necessary.

He has spent decades in seclusion here, and has almost become accustomed to life here.

If one were to leave rashly, it would take at least several years to find a suitable training ground of equal quality.

In the cultivation world, there are many cultivators who initially had a smooth path of cultivation, but after changing their cultivation location, everything went wrong, and various misfortunes followed one after another, causing their cultivation level to stagnate.

Therefore, when one's own level of understanding is steadily improving, it is better to remain still than to act rashly.

……

On this day, a strange yet powerful aura descended upon Changchun Peak.

The radiance faded, revealing a man in his thirties who appeared distinguished, elegantly dressed, and with a somewhat unrestrained air.

"Senior, this is the private training ground of Changchun Peak. You are not allowed to enter without the invitation of my master!"

Halfway up the mountain, Qingzhi, a maidservant, was grooming the Snow Demon Wolf. Qingshan gave her a slight bow and spoke politely.

The snow wolf, who was comfortably enjoying its grooming, was suddenly interrupted and began to whimper unhappily.

"Your master certainly knows how to enjoy life, having such a large place all to himself, and being accompanied by beautiful maids. It's truly enviable."

The carefree middle-aged man casually looked around and then said in a nonchalant tone, "Go and tell your master that an old friend has come to visit, and that he should come out to greet him personally!"

“This… my master is currently in seclusion. If you are truly an old friend of my master, please leave your name or a token. My master will visit you when he emerges from seclusion.”

The maid Qingzhi was unsure what to do when the man claimed to be an old friend of her master.

Upon careful reflection, I realized that I had been following my master for over thirty years, but I had never seen this person before.

"Sister Qingzhi, this senior is indeed Uncle Lin's good friend. I'll go and ask Uncle Lin for permission."

At this moment, a beam of light descended from within the peak, revealing Tian Fu's figure.

"Senior Xu, it's been many years! Congratulations on your achievement of Foundation Establishment! I will go and inform Uncle Lin right away. Please wait here for a moment."

Tian Fu smiled and performed the junior's greeting with a respectful attitude.

The man who suddenly appeared in front of them was none other than Xu Qinghuan, Uncle Lin's childhood friend from the Xi Danhe family back then!

Having followed Uncle Lin since childhood, Tian Fu naturally recognized him.

They also knew that Xu Qinghuan seemed to have been missing for many years, and even his descendants in the Xi Danhe family did not know his whereabouts.

Unexpectedly, Xu Qinghuan appeared at Changchun Peak today as a Foundation Establishment cultivator!

Despite his respectful demeanor and words, Tian Fu showed no intention of opening the barrier to invite Xu Qinghuan in.

Instead, he swayed and flew towards the main peak of Changchun Peak.

"You've been apart for so many years, you're not even calling me 'Uncle' anymore?"

Xu Qinghuan laughed and scolded, then, watching the other person's departing figure, suddenly realized: "You brat, you just left your elders standing outside like that!"
