Steady Mortal Path: Starting from Obtaining the Golden Core Inheritance

Half a day later, Nangong Yue left Changchun Peak.

Lin Changsheng also went out to search for a method to control swarms of spirit insects in Qianhe Market.

Back in his cave, Lin Changsheng took out the jade box containing the bright silver insects.

Once opened, a dozen or so shimmering silver larvae were lazily crawling inside.

There were also seven or eight larvae, whose limbs had become stiff and whose bodies had lost their luster.

"Dead again!"

Seeing this, Lin Changsheng felt a great sense of regret.

After examining the stiff larvae repeatedly and confirming that they were completely lifeless, they were removed.

Lin Changsheng activated the power of the Withered Wood Everlasting Technique, gently enveloping the remaining dozen or so larvae and continuously nourishing them with his magical energy.

Over the past two weeks, more than forty silver worms have died one after another, leaving only a dozen or so larvae stubbornly surviving.

As Lin Changsheng continued to gently nourish the larvae with his own magical power, he gradually began to erase the traces of the former owner that remained in the larvae's bodies.

And these surviving silver worms gradually adapted to the new magical aura.

Perhaps it won't be long before these larvae fully adapt to the power of the Everlasting Spring Technique and are freed from the influence of their original owner's death.

Three months have passed in a flash.

Nourished by Lin Changsheng's special Everlasting Spring Technique, five Bright Silver Insects eventually survived.

However, it is still affected by the death of its former owner, so its potential is not high and its growth is slow.

Lin Changsheng didn't care much about this.

The most important factor in raising these magical insects is the breed.

As long as Bright Silver Bug can survive, even if the first generation has poor potential.

They can also be bred to produce strong offspring through methods such as reproduction, selection, and breeding.

Unless they are extremely unlucky, all five surviving silver worms are either female or male and are unable to reproduce.

That just means I'm truly not meant to be with this insect.

……

While raising the larvae, Lin Changsheng was most concerned about the situation in the Wanfeng Mountains.

Starting half a month ago, another large tide of beasts surged out of the mountains, including some second-tier demonic beasts.

The Taoist temple, located near the Wanfeng Mountains, was inevitably affected again.

Changchun Peak is guarded by three great demonic beasts, and naturally, it welcomes all wild demonic beasts that come to the mountain range.

Low-level demonic beasts almost all turned into nourishment for the 'Blood Illusion Mushroom'.

Lin Changsheng also gained a lot of demon cores as a result.

With Du Yue stationed at the adjacent Ping'an Peak, there shouldn't be any major problems.

On the other side, Xue Ningshuang on Miaoyin Peak had not yet recovered and was unable to cope with the sudden beast tide.

The Nangong family sold a trained early-stage second-tier demonic beast to Miaoyin Peak at a low price.

Subsequently, Xue Ningshuang purchased a 'quasi-second-tier' puppet made from the leftover materials from Lin Changsheng.

With the help of the mountain-protecting formation, they were able to barely survive the beast tide.

Lin Changsheng also paid close attention to the situation of the neighboring dojos, and secretly sent out Xunfeng Crows to patrol several times, killing the second-tier demonic beasts near the three dojos.

If they encounter a late-stage second-tier demonic beast, the Crimson Centipede will naturally step in.

In short, although the area is often disturbed by beast tides, it rarely faces threats from high-level demonic beasts.

……

This day.

Lin Changsheng used many damaged first-tier demon cores to practice, refining some pills to enhance demonic power, which he then fed to the carp in the lake.

Suddenly, I had a feeling and subconsciously looked in the direction of the Wanfeng Mountains.

In the distance, an extremely pure aura seemed to erupt.

Before Lin Changsheng could investigate further, the aura suddenly vanished into thin air.

Just as he was investigating without success and continued feeding the carp, his divine sense faintly detected a peculiar movement.

"Hmm? What was that noise?"

Suddenly, Lin Changsheng felt a strange, thrilling sensation.

He couldn't help but become wary, his sharp eyes scanning his surroundings.

The next moment, Lin Changsheng's attention fell on the spiritual tree among the many spiritual trees, the one that resonated with his mind.

For some reason, when he turned his gaze to the spirit tree, he felt a chilling sense of crisis.

"No, it's dangerous!"

Lin Changsheng was shocked, and the hairs on his body stood on end!

This fear is a feeling that far exceeds what one can cope with with one's current means.

It was also like a fear from the depths of one's soul!

"Get out of here!"

Lin Changsheng's first reaction was to flee the dojo.

He forced himself to calm down and casually tossed all the pills in his hand into the lake.

The first-tier demon beast, the Flower Carp, frolicked joyfully in the water, devouring the food in large gulps.

Lin Changsheng had no interest in appreciating the scenery at the moment, and seemingly casually turned to leave.

"The little fellow has a keen sense of perception, but his acting is terrible. Now that he has discovered my location, why is he in such a hurry to leave?"

From the spirit tree behind Lin Changsheng, a green shadow floated out, transforming like a ghost into a palm-sized girl with a pair of semi-circular wings on her back.

Upon closer inspection, the girl also had two slender antennae on her head, making her seem different from humans.

The tiny butterfly-winged girl appeared and hovered quietly in mid-air, staring coldly at Lin Changsheng, her words conveying a sense of indifference towards life.

"Nascent Soul? No, it's a Demon Infant!"

Lin Changsheng's heart pounded wildly, and a rare look of horror appeared on his face.

Looking at the demonic infant in the shape of a butterfly, Lin Changsheng immediately guessed its identity.

This is actually the demon infant of that fourth-order transformed demon king in the Wanfeng Mountains!

Only when one reaches the Nascent Soul realm or the fourth-order demon beast realm will the golden core within the body give birth to a Nascent Soul or a demon infant.

Even if the physical body collapses, it can still survive in an alternative way by having its nascent soul leave the body.

It can even directly possess or seize the body of lower-level cultivators.

"Boy, I originally intended to hide and recover for a few more days, but I didn't expect you to see through my plan. Well, you can only blame your bad luck!"

The butterfly-winged girl spoke coldly, then suddenly transformed into a blurry green light and 'whoosh' entered Lin Changsheng's body.

boom!

Lin Changsheng felt a sudden tremor in his mind, and a needle-like pain pierced his consciousness.

It felt as if his entire sea of ​​consciousness was about to collapse in an instant.

The next moment, Lin Changsheng's vision went black, he felt dizzy and lightheaded, and fell backward into the lake.

In his dazed state, he realized that the demonic infant wanted to possess his body!

And so, an overwhelming and irresistible force penetrated his body, easily shattering his own will.

Lin Changsheng felt his consciousness plummeting into an endless abyss, sinking deeper and deeper, until he completely lost control of himself.

After an unknown amount of time, a cool, pure essence of memory flowed into Lin Changsheng's consciousness.

This caused Lin Changsheng's consciousness, which had been trapped in an endless abyss, to awaken once again.

"Is this the memory source of 'Heavenly Poison True Man'?"

Lin Changsheng suddenly woke up.

He completely integrated the memories of 'Heavenly Poison True Man' in his sea of ​​consciousness, and the strength of his divine sense increased greatly once again!

When I opened my eyes, I found myself floating quietly in the lake.

Beside him was a spotted carp that kept poking his body with its head.

"So the possession was an illusion. As expected of a fourth-tier transformed demon king, the illusionary attack launched by his divine sense is so realistic!"

Lin Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief, and then a shimmering, crystalline talisman appeared on his chest, quickly condensing into a solid cyan light shield around his body.
