Steady Mortal Path: Starting from Obtaining the Golden Core Inheritance

"Hehe, Fellow Daoist Lin, could it be that you wish to subdue some Bright Silver Insects and attempt to cultivate them?"

Nangong Yue, who was standing to the side, saw through Lin Changsheng's thoughts and said with a smile.

As he spoke, a hint of shock appeared in his eyes as he looked at Lin Changsheng, who appeared to be a gentle and refined man.

I couldn't help but recall the time when Lin Changsheng first entered the Foundation Establishment stage and rented the Changchun Peak Dojo from me.

Unexpectedly, in just thirty or forty years, the opponent has grown to this level, almost single-handedly annihilating such a troublesome insect cultivator.

Furthermore, his hand strength is comparable to that of a late-stage Foundation Establishment puppet or demon beast.

No wonder Miss Nangong Qingtan is so fond of him.

However, considering that Lin Changsheng was a highly skilled talisman master, and was all alone without a partner or children to tie him down, it seemed quite reasonable for him to accumulate a large amount of resources and forcefully create high-level demonic beasts and puppets.

"Unfortunately, these silver insects were restricted by their master using secret techniques and fed with his own magic power and flesh. Once their master dies, they will not be able to survive on their own."

Lin Changsheng sighed, seemingly quite knowledgeable about these bright silver insects.

"It's good that Fellow Daoist Lin understands. If these strange insects could be cultivated so easily, wouldn't the cultivation world be overrun with them long ago? If these insect cultivators weren't willing, they wouldn't be allowed to leave the cultivation world."

Nangong Yue seemed to have long since come to terms with this.

Lin Changsheng then stepped forward, took the storage bag from the black-robed man, and put it away.

Seeing this, Nangong Yue turned a blind eye and said nothing more.

Normally, when outsiders invade a local peak master's territory, any items they obtain should be taken back by the Nangong family as evidence.

Then it is converted into equivalent resource compensation.

However, Nangong Yue clearly gave Lin Changsheng face and did not mention the matter.

I sensed that Du Yue was in good health before Miaoyin Peak.

They were currently besieging two other cultivators along with four members of the Nangong family.

Lin Changsheng and Nangong Yue did not rush to help, but instead went to the secret room.

Xue Ningshuang is in a very bad state right now.

I seem to have been mentally disturbed and am somewhat disoriented.

Not only was her internal energy extremely disordered, but bruises and bluish-purple marks were also left on her delicate, fair skin.

Lin Changsheng keenly sensed that there was more than one special aura emanating from a man.

His internal magical energy was severely depleted, as if it had been drained away.

This situation only occurs in some female cultivators who are used as furnaces for cultivation.

Clearly, Xue Ningshuang suffered a lot during this period.

Upon seeing this, Nangong Yue's eyes blazed with anger!

Xue Ningshuang is a Foundation Establishment cultivator with more seniority than Lin Changsheng. She has known Nangong Yue for many years, so the two have some friendship.

Lin Changsheng silently covered the woman with clothes.

Even the slightest touch to her body was enough to make her instinctively flinch away, like a frightened bird.

But Lin Changsheng still forcibly grabbed the woman's wrist and began to examine her.

As a pale green magical energy flowed into her body, the balanced and peaceful aura reassured Xue Ningshuang, and she stopped resisting.

But soon, Lin Changsheng frowned slightly.

Xue Ningshuang's internal condition can only be described as a complete mess.

In a short period of time, a variety of drugs were taken, and the side effects were almost as severe as those of highly toxic substances.

The depletion of magical power has led to instability in his cultivation level. If he does not consolidate his power in time, he is very likely to fall back to the early stage of Foundation Establishment.

The strangest thing is that, at the location of this woman's heart meridian, lie dozens of 'insect eggs' that gleam with silver light.

These insect eggs have a shimmering silver sheen on their surface and contain the breath of life within.

As the heart continued to beat, strands of magical power and essence slowly nourished these 'insect eggs'.

That man in black robes was actually using Xue Ningshuang as a 'container' to raise demonic insects!

Just as Lin Changsheng was investigating, the dozens of insect eggs inside Xue Ningshuang's body suddenly stirred and erupted with a frenzied aura.

Xue Ningshuang looked pained and fainted.

"Oops!"

Lin Changsheng's expression changed slightly.

Although he was not skilled in insect control.

But I still have some knowledge.

This method allows the insect eggs to be placed in the monk's chest.

In addition to absorbing heart's blood and magical power to achieve a nourishing effect.

Typically, after the spirit insect hatches, it begins to devour the cultivator's internal organs before finally emerging from the body.

Unless controlled by the master of the demon insect, it cannot be easily driven away by external forces.

"Oh no! That insect cultivator actually planted insect eggs inside Fellow Daoist Xue's body. Once the eggs hatch, it will be the time of Fellow Daoist Xue's death. Now that the insect cultivator is dead, no one can control these bright silver insects."

Nangong Yue sighed.

As a member of the Nangong family, he naturally understood this insidious method of raising livestock.

While Lin Changsheng used his magic to heal Xue Ningshuang's injuries, he also kept a close eye on the insect eggs.

Without the control of the man in black robes, these silver insects, once hatched, will likely only instinctively gnaw on the internal organs of their host.

Before long, it will lose its vitality due to the loss of its master's magical nourishment.

If the process of consuming her is slow, perhaps Xue Ningshuang's life can be saved.

‘Crack! ’

‘Crack! ’

A faint cracking sound could be heard.

One by one, tiny, bright silver worms, each the size of a grain of rice, hatched.

Lin Changsheng focused his attention and slowly channeled his magic power to nourish Xue Ningshuang's internal organs.

After hatching, these silvery insects instinctively devoured their own eggshells, and then, driven by hunger, prepared to gnaw on their internal organs.

But suddenly, as if drawn by something, they all crawled in the same direction.

"Huh, these silver insects are reacting to my Everlasting Spring Kung Fu?"

Lin Changsheng was surprised to find that these bright silver insects had actually given up eating his internal organs and were crawling towards the place where he had transferred his magic power.

Seeing this, Lin Changsheng decisively increased his mana output and urged his mana to envelop the dozens of bright silver insects.

Sure enough, these tiny, bright silver worms, no bigger than grains of rice, greedily absorbed the aura of the Everlasting Spring Technique, showing no interest whatsoever in the surrounding flesh and blood.

Before long, under Lin Changsheng's magical enticement, these bright silver insects burst out from between Xue Ningshuang's fair arms, leaving behind bloody holes.

Instead, a small cluster of silvery-white insects appeared in Lin Changsheng's palm, greedily absorbing the pure wood-attribute energy.

After a short while, all the bright silver insects around were dead, but these dozens of small insects remained full of life.

“I understand. These bright silver insects belong to the beetle family. They naturally like to live in spirit trees. Although they have a varied diet, their favorite food is the tender branches of high-grade spirit trees.”

"Fellow Daoist Lin cultivates a wood-attribute technique, and the aura of that technique perfectly matches his diet, thus attracting these larvae."

Nangong Yue pondered for a moment, then suddenly realized and said...
