Steady Mortal Path: Starting from Obtaining the Golden Core Inheritance

A month later.

A man and a woman flew into the Changchun Peak Dojo.

It just so happened that He Jincheng and his wife ran into them.

"This is the Changchun Peak Dojo. May I ask what brings you two fellow Daoists here?"

Sensing the magical power emanating from the two individuals, which was several times stronger than his own, He Jincheng was amazed, but still calmly asked without showing any emotion.

His wife, Lu Yihan, stood quietly beside him, her gaze fixed on the newcomer with a hint of curiosity.

The woman before me was dressed in a white, flowing gown, exuding an immaculate classical aura; she was breathtakingly beautiful.

The man was slightly behind the woman by half a body length, subtly indicating that the woman was in control.

The two Foundation Establishment cultivators, a man and a woman, did not appear to be a Daoist couple.

"Hmm, this fellow Daoist looks unfamiliar. He seems to be a newly promoted Foundation Establishment cultivator. But what brings you to Brother Lin's Daoist temple?"

The girl, with a classical air about her, asked with a hint of curiosity in her eyes.

The two people who came were Nangong Qingtan and Nangong Yue.

Then Nangong Yue took the initiative to introduce himself.

"So you are two fellow Daoists from the Nangong family. I am He Jincheng, from the Xidan He family. I have come here specifically to visit my elders and have been staying here for more than half a year."

Upon hearing the identities of the two individuals, He Jincheng became much more polite in his speech.

This is the instinctive reaction of cultivators from small families when they encounter someone from a powerful force.

Even though they are both Foundation Establishment cultivators.

However, He Jincheng had only recently entered the Foundation Establishment stage and his mindset had not yet fully changed.

Both Nangong Qingtan and Nangong Yue have been Foundation Establishment cultivators for many years and are considered veteran Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Therefore, He Jincheng inevitably felt somewhat restrained when facing these two people.

"So it turns out he was a descendant of Brother Lin's clan back then."

Nangong Qingtan's clear eyes held a hint of curiosity.

Lin Changsheng, as an outsider cultivator, settled down and established his foundation in Thousand Crane Immortal City, and also rented a Daoist temple.

His background will naturally be investigated by the Nangong family.

Therefore, Nangong Qingtan also knew about Lin Changsheng's past.

On the contrary, Lu Yihan seemed to have discovered something, her eyes slightly gossipy as she glanced at Nangong Qingtan's beautiful face.

She had just clearly heard this stunningly beautiful Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Nangong family address him as "Brother Lin"!

However, her husband and the two people opposite her were all Foundation Establishment cultivators at the moment, and as a Qi Condensation cultivator, it was not appropriate for her to interrupt.

……

Before long, Lin Changsheng invited the two into the reception room.

"The presence of you two fellow Daoists is truly an honor to my humble abode."

Lin Changsheng smiled and brewed some spiritual tea for the two of them.

"Fellow Daoist Lin is too kind. It is my honor to be able to drink the spiritual tea from Changchun Peak."

Nangong Yue accepted the spirit tea with both hands and thanked him politely.

His attitude towards Lin Changsheng was better than before.

As a member of the Nangong family, he held a low status and often did tedious errands.

To outsiders, he was of high status, a representative of the Nangong family.

In reality, the truly high-ranking direct descendants of the Nangong family do not need to take on specific clan affairs.

Simply by being affiliated with various industries, one can reap a substantial share of resource dividends every year.

The young lady beside him, Nangong Qingtan, was just like that.

Nangong Yue's change in attitude towards Lin Changsheng was also due to Nangong Qingtan.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, the Wanfeng Mountains may not be peaceful for some time to come. Please stay at your Daoist temple and try not to stray too far."

Nangong Yue took the initiative to explain the purpose of their visit.

"Is the Wanfeng Mountains not peaceful?"

"Could it be related to that demonic beast that advanced to the fourth rank?"

"I wonder what kind of demonic beast that is? Would the Nangong family be so kind as to reveal it?"

Lin Changsheng's heart skipped a beat, and he asked.

Since the day the demon beast successfully transcended its tribulation, not only in Thousand Crane Immortal City, but even in the entire cultivation world of Yue Kingdom, everyone knows that a new demon king has emerged in the Ten Thousand Peaks Mountain Range.

There had been much speculation about who would ultimately claim the fourth-order spiritual vein in this area, but with the birth of the fourth-order demon king, it seemed that the matter had been settled.

Unless that Nascent Soul ancestor from Shangqing Palace intervenes.

Otherwise, in the entire cultivation world of Yue Kingdom, no one else would be qualified to covet a fourth-order spiritual vein.

"Our Nangong family has not yet made this public. We would appreciate it if Fellow Daoist Lin could..."

Nangong Yue was carefully choosing his words when he was interrupted by Nangong Qingtan.

"That was a rare fourth-tier 'Azure Wood Demon Butterfly'."

"The Azure Wood Demon Butterfly?"

Upon hearing the name, Lin Changsheng carefully recalled it.

However, when he searched the memories of 'True Man of Heavenly Poison', he found no record of this kind of monster.

A question arose in my mind.

Although 'Heavenly Poison Master' is not a cultivator who focuses on beast taming.

However, after more than four hundred years of experience, they have gained some understanding of some powerful demonic beasts.

The only thing that sounded completely unfamiliar was the 'Azure Wood Demon Butterfly'.

“That’s right, that transformed demon king is the ‘Azure Wood Demon Butterfly’. According to the records of my Nangong family, it is very difficult for this ‘Azure Wood Demon Butterfly’ to grow to the mid-to-late stage of the first tier. Its bloodline potential is limited, and it has no offensive capabilities. It has disappeared from the cultivation world of Yue Kingdom for many years.”

"It is extremely rare for a 'Green Wood King Butterfly' of the fourth-order demon king level to be born in the Wanfeng Mountains. Therefore, according to the elders of our clan, there is likely some kind of opportunity in the Wanfeng Mountains."

This time, Nangong Qingtan did not keep it a secret and directly revealed the information about the demon king in the Wanfeng Mountains to Lin Changsheng.

Hearing this, Nangong Yue, who had been constantly giving Nangong Qingtan meaningful glances, gave a wry smile, then quietly sat down to sip his tea and said nothing more.

……

Watching Nangong Qingtan and the other person gradually disappear into the distance, Lin Changsheng withdrew his gaze.

He then gazed at the distant Wanfeng Mountains, lost in thought for a long time.

The Wanfeng Mountains have now become a forbidden area for ordinary human cultivators.

Even without explicit prohibition from the Nangong family, ordinary people would not dare to trespass.

A fourth-tier demon king resides here!

“Uncle Lin, I’ve bothered you long enough. I’ve come today to say goodbye.”

He Jincheng, accompanied by Lu Yihan, resigned from his post with Lin Changsheng.

Originally, He Jincheng had just entered the Foundation Establishment stage and his realm was not yet fully stable. He wanted to shamelessly stay at Uncle Lin's dojo for a while longer.

In this way, one can not only enjoy a top-tier second-order spiritual vein, but also receive guidance from a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator and a senior talisman master in cultivation and talisman making.

In addition, even He Jincheng, who was usually honest and simple, sensed that things were not peaceful around the Wanfeng Mountains.

Although his cultivation level is not high, he is now at least a Foundation Establishment cultivator. Staying at the Changchun Peak Dojo can help Uncle Lin to some extent.

But his wife, Lu Yihan, advised him to leave Changchun Peak as soon as possible.

There are three reasons.

Firstly, He Jincheng has just entered the Foundation Establishment stage and needs to find a place to quietly cultivate and consolidate his realm. Changchun Peak is not a place to stay for long.

Secondly, Uncle Lin was able to occupy such a large Daoist temple here all by himself back then, so he was naturally no ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator. He may have already planned for some turmoil, and the fact that the couple stayed here would only be a hindrance.

Thirdly, during their short stay at Changchun Peak, the couple gained a deeper understanding of Uncle Lin's deeds. He had a good relationship with Nangong Qingtan of the Nangong family and also had close cooperation with the Fengling Chamber of Commerce. In addition, he had extensive connections through his years of business dealing in talismans, so he was unlikely to be in any danger.

He Jincheng always respected his wife's ideas, and even if he didn't understand their deeper meaning at the moment, he would still follow them first.

"Yes, it's good to go back. You've just entered the Foundation Establishment stage, so try not to fight with others for a while and focus on consolidating your own realm."

Upon learning the purpose of He Jincheng and his wife's visit, Lin Changsheng did not try to stop them, but instead offered some words of advice.

Since Nangong Qingtan brought the news, he has begun to plan for the future.

Even if He Jincheng doesn't say goodbye, he will bring it up in a few days.
