Steady Mortal Path: Starting from Obtaining the Golden Core Inheritance

Before long, a slender humanoid puppet flashed out of the cave.

He handed a pair of butterfly wings, each about half a person's height and radiating a seven-colored halo, to Lin Changsheng.

Lin Changsheng's eyes lit up with surprise and delight.

These colorful 'butterfly wings' are very thin and light, like cicada wings.

It is very light, and you can hardly feel its weight.

Upon closer inspection, it contained a faint demonic power, as well as a pure wood-attribute aura.

"Tier 4 material, Seven-Colored King Butterfly Wings!"

Lin Changsheng couldn't help but sigh inwardly. This was the treasure that the Green Wood King Butterfly had mentioned—the butterfly wings of a fourth-order transformed demon king, and they were extremely compatible with his magical attributes!

This was also the only thing that the Aoki King Butterfly carried when the demon infant left its body before its physical body was destroyed.

It is also an extremely rare material for crafting flying magical artifacts.

"It's a pity that these 'butterfly wings' are made of fourth-tier materials. Only by finding a fourth-tier or higher weapon refiner can their maximum effect be brought out."

Lin Changsheng felt helpless.

Let alone a Foundation Establishment cultivator like him, even if he advanced to the Golden Core stage, he wouldn't dare to openly take out a fourth-tier material.

Unless one is a powerful Golden Core cultivator like 'Heavenly Poison Master', perhaps they wouldn't be afraid of others coveting their possessions.

Moreover, the Seven-Colored King Butterfly Wings are too easily recognizable. Once they appear in the public eye, they will surely cause a great uproar. At that time, the Nascent Soul True Monarch of Shangqing Palace will most likely guess that he is related to the Green Wood King Butterfly.

"Ugh."

Lin Changsheng sighed deeply.

Having treasures he couldn't use left him feeling melancholy.

……

"What?! That guy Hei Xuan actually volunteered to join forces with human cultivators?!"

Just then, Aoki Ocho's shocked and angry voice came from not far away.

Within the miniature demon infant, an aura of power befitting a fourth-tier demon king couldn't help but leak out and sweep outwards.

But Aoki King Butterfly quickly realized what was happening and hurriedly concealed her aura.

"It was... Hei Xuan who betrayed us... and injured me..."

The third-tier black bear demon in front of him actually opened its mouth and let out a deep voice.

A third-tier demon's intelligence is no less than that of a human, so imitating human speech is not difficult for it.

However, this black bear demon didn't seem to imitate much in normal times, and when he spoke, he stuttered and could barely express his meaning.

Lin Changsheng also got the gist of it.

It seems that one of the great demons under the command of the Aoki King Butterfly betrayed them, suddenly turning against humanity at a crucial moment.

It seems to be referring to the black water serpent that submitted to the Nascent Soul True Lord of Shangqing Palace.

"Boy, I know your magic should have healing properties. Quickly help me expel the snake venom from the big one's body!"

The demonic infant of the Azure Wood King Butterfly turned its gaze to Lin Changsheng beside it and said in a somewhat stiff tone.

Lin Changsheng didn't care much about this.

After a period of contact, he had figured out the personality of this Aoki King Butterfly.

Having grown up in the Wanfeng Mountains, she had never had any contact with humans, which is why she is so genuine and straightforward.

They have absolutely no understanding of the intricacies of human relationships.

Due to the limitations of its bloodline species, the Green Wood Demon Butterfly is not good at fighting and is considered to be at the bottom among demon beasts of the same level.

It wasn't until he advanced to the late stage of the third tier that he was barely able to protect himself among the powerful demons of the Wanfeng Mountains.

It wasn't until it advanced to the fourth-tier Great Demon that it called itself 'Azure Wood King Butterfly' and used the power of a fourth-tier Demon King to suppress other third-tier Great Demons into submission.

Before Lin Changsheng could speak, he saw the Green Wood King Butterfly gently beckon the Seven-Colored King Butterfly Wings in his hand, summoning the wings back to its front.

Under the control of the Azure King Butterfly, the seven-colored 'butterfly wings' shrank rapidly and then flew into the demon infant's body and disappeared.

"Senior Aoki, didn't we agree to give this item..."

Lin Changsheng felt his hand go empty, and as he watched the seven-colored 'butterfly wings' turn into colorful light and fly away, he couldn't help but frown slightly.

But before he could finish speaking, Aoki King Butterfly coldly interrupted him: "Hmph, I promised to lend you my butterfly wings, and I will not go back on my word. Once the agreed time has passed, I will leave with the 'butterfly wings'!"

"However, this wing contains my fourth-order demonic power. Without my help, how could you, a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator, possibly control it?"

At this point, the demonic infant of the Azure Wood King Butterfly chuckled and said with a hint of sarcasm.

"If Senior Aoki is willing to lend a helping hand, that would be wonderful!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Changsheng was overjoyed, completely ignoring the sarcasm in the other party's words. He only realized that the Green Wood King Butterfly could actually help him control these 'butterfly wings'!

But if you think about it carefully, it’s normal.

These fourth-order butterfly wings were originally part of the other party's physical body and were connected to the mind of the demon infant.

As the master, activating a part of one's own body is effortless.

At that time, I will be able to obtain the right to use these 'Seven-Colored King Butterfly Wings'!

A Tier 4 Flying Treasure!

This is an opportunity that even the 'Heavenly Poison Master' has never obtained!

Even if he couldn't fully utilize the effects of a fourth-tier treasure with his current cultivation level, it was still an absolute life-saving 'artifact' for Lin Changsheng!

This was the first time in his nearly eighty years of cultivating immortality that he had obtained a treasure that surpassed the 'Heavenly Poison True Man's' memories in terms of rank.

This also means that Lin Changsheng has gradually forged his own path from a newcomer who needed to draw on the memories and experiences of 'Tian Du Zhenren' in every aspect.

As his cultivation level continues to rise, the memories and experiences of 'Heavenly Poison True Man' will only become less and less helpful to him.

With Qingmu Wangdie's promise, Lin Changsheng took the initiative to examine the body of this third-tier black bear demon.

Meanwhile, under the soothing touch of the Azure Wood King Butterfly, the great black bear demon understood that the weak human in front of him was there to heal his wounds.

Lin Changsheng activated a wisp of Changchun Gong power and carefully examined its injuries.

"What a powerful poison!"

Soon after, Lin Changsheng was slightly moved, glanced at the black bear demon in front of him, and was amazed.

It turned out that the condition inside this black bear demon was already so precarious.

Its internal organs were almost entirely enveloped and attached by a dark aura.

This toxin is extremely insidious, almost completely combined with the demonic power of the Black Bear Demon.

So much so that the more one tries to circulate demonic power to alleviate the toxins in the body, the faster the toxins will dissipate.

Now, the Black Bear Demon's blood is almost entirely filled with this toxin.

"It was discovered too late. If it had been a month or two earlier, perhaps..."

Lin Changsheng withdrew his magic power, then hesitated to speak.

This poisonous gas was clearly at the late stage of the third rank. Even with Lin Changsheng's special Changchun Gong technique, he could only slowly expel it.

Compared to the speed at which the toxins are spreading, this is a drop in the ocean.

Besides, even if the toxins in the black bear's body could be completely removed, what difference would it make?

The Wanfeng Mountains are no longer what they used to be; they are no longer a paradise for monsters.

The fourth-tier spiritual veins will eventually be controlled by humans, leaving no place for demonic beasts to stand.

“Boy, if you heal Big Guy’s wounds, I will persuade it to pretend to serve you as its master and become your guardian spirit beast. During this time, it can be driven by you. When the date we agree on arrives, I will take it with me and leave.”

Suddenly, the demonic infant of the Azure Wood King Butterfly made a suggestion to Lin Changsheng.

Clearly, although the opponent is not strong in combat among monsters of the same level, it is skilled in spiritual sense and mental power, and its intelligence is higher than that of ordinary monsters.

In her opinion, it was an incredible stroke of luck for a lowly human cultivator like Lin Changsheng to suddenly acquire a third-tier demon as his spirit beast.

This means that in the future, even Golden Core cultivators among humans will not be able to easily threaten him.

But the result was beyond her expectations.

Faced with such a great temptation, the human boy did not readily agree as she had expected.
