Steady Mortal Path: Starting from Obtaining the Golden Core Inheritance

That night, the moon was bright and the stars were few.

Li Family Village in Dafang Township is a small island rich in spiritual energy.

Boiling water bubbled in the copper pot, surrounded by a table full of delicious delicacies.

Two elegantly dressed pseudo-Dan cultivators clinked glasses and drank together, surrounded by beautiful women, completely at ease.

"Brother, the resource accounts for the first half of the year have been prepared, but Master has postponed his inspection for a long time. What should we do?"

"No problem. All the production resources are properly stored, and the accounts are sealed and preserved. As long as these are done, the two of us brothers can rest easy here."

Under the moonlight, the two fake cultivators hummed a little tune, drunk, until late into the night, when one of them activated his magical artifact and staggered away from the place.

……

Dawn.

A clear bird pierced the silence of the night.

The exceptionally handsome Xunfeng Crow flapped its wings and flew into the Li clan's territory in Dafang Township without any hesitation.

A powerful and profound demonic energy spread out, its majestic aura instantly startling the cultivators in the nearby clan territories.

On the back of the crow, a man and a woman stood side by side.

The man was gentle and warm, dressed in white, and exuded tranquility and detachment.

The young girl, dressed in a pink palace dress, was slender and graceful, her face veiled by a light gauze, exuding an ethereal aura.

The two were like a match made in heaven.

"A third-tier great demon!"

"Jindan Zhenren!"

On the island, the young man, who had been drunk and disheveled, stared in shock and astonishment at the giant monstrous bird in the sky.

The low-level cultivators serving nearby were already terrified by the demonic power released by Xunfeng Crow, staggering and trembling as they knelt on the ground.

"Who are you, and why have you appeared on my 'Clear Spring Island'?"

Lin Changsheng spoke coldly, his stern gaze falling upon him.

A unique aura of elixir power belonging to a Golden Core cultivator poured down at this moment.

With just his aura, he suppressed the breathing of the fake Core Formation cultivator below, causing a fine layer of sweat to seep from his forehead.

"Replying to the True Man, my master, True Man Yu Huai, because True Man Li of the Golden Core Realm disappeared without cause, specially assigned me to come here to support the Li family in order to help their clan's development."

The fake Golden Core cultivator was so frightened by the scene before him that his mind went blank. He didn't even understand the meaning behind the words of the Golden Core cultivator, and subconsciously introduced himself and his background.

As he spoke, his mind gradually began to process what he was saying.

This Golden Core cultivator just seemed to say that this place is his island?

This left him with many doubts.

He had heard about it from the Li family when he first settled on the island.

This island was originally the place where a second-level alchemist surnamed Lin cultivated.

The reason why this alchemist Lin was able to reside in a third-tier dojo was because he kept two Golden Core demons under his tutelage.

Before this, I had never heard of this island having a third owner.

Suddenly, the fake Core Formation cultivator felt a chill run down his spine. Could this person be...?

A sudden sense of panic rose within him for no apparent reason.

As a disciple of Master Yu Huai, he vaguely knew about the matter between his master and that alchemist Lin back then.

If this person is indeed the same Lin Danshi from back then, then he probably wouldn't have a good end today.

After a few breaths of silence, the fake Core Formation cultivator suddenly unleashed his magical power, and at the same time, a blue escape talisman appeared in his hand. He turned around and prepared to fly away from this place.

"Hmph, you've made such a mess of my sacred temple, and you still dare to dream of escaping?"

A cold snort came from behind.

Immediately, Lin Changsheng flicked his sleeve and waved his hand, and a lifelike puppet spirit child appeared, chasing after the fleeing pseudo-core cultivator.

A dozen or so breaths later, a powerful aura erupted from the distance.

Before long, the puppet spirit child, holding a storage bag, hopped and skipped back to Lin Changsheng like a playful child.

"This person has defiled the place where I once stayed, so I have punished him. Take this as a warning and do not provoke me again."

A voice imbued with the aura of a Golden Core cultivator emanated from 'Clear Spring Island' and echoed throughout the entire Li clan territory.

Meanwhile, another fake Core Formation cultivator was already trembling with fear. The moment he heard the telepathic message and realized that the Golden Core cultivator did not intend to kill him all, he no longer cared about anything else and immediately activated his magic weapon to escape.

Besides, some of the younger members of the clan were completely unfamiliar with this sudden appearance of a Golden Core cultivator, and were both surprised and afraid.

Some of the older members of the tribe, gazing at the extraordinary Xunfeng Crow, felt tears welling up in their eyes.

"It's Master Lin Dan!"

"Master Lin has returned after advancing to the Golden Core stage!"

Who is Master Lin Dan?

The entire Li family was instantly in an uproar.

Many older clansmen were excitedly recounting stories about 'Qingquan Island' and Master Lin Dan to their younger relatives.

The waters are hundreds of miles away from the Li clan's territory.

Lu Xun activated the Water Control Technique and secretly made contact with the people in the clan's territory.

"What? Senior Lin has returned?"

"Not only have you advanced to the Golden Core Realm, but you've also settled down on 'Clear Spring Island,' where you used to live?"

Upon hearing the report from his clansmen, Lu Xun was greatly shocked. He was overjoyed, but also somewhat incredulous.

……

On Qingquan Island.

"I never imagined that Fellow Daoist Lin had such a grudge with Elder Yu Huai and Elder Green Snake."

A thoughtful look appeared in Shen Wenyao's bright eyes, and then she said quietly:

"These two not only have the cultivation of the late Golden Core stage, but they have also become sect elders. If Fellow Daoist Lin wants to take revenge, I'm afraid it will be a bit troublesome."

"Unless you are confident in dealing with the two, it is best not to show hostility, so as not to arouse their suspicion."

"Fellow Daoist Lin, why don't you lie low for now and wait for the right opportunity? When Wen Yao advances to the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, the two of us can join forces and find a way to separate them and defeat them one by one. There might be a chance."

Shen Wenyao frowned slightly, and after a moment gave her advice.

As the young master of Linglong Pavilion, and having been imprisoned by True Lord Ziyang for many years, Shen Wenyao was able to escape from under the True Lord's nose. She was no ordinary pretty face.

However, his serious expression made Lin Changsheng unable to help but laugh.

"Why is Fellow Daoist Lin laughing? Is it because Wen Yao said something inappropriate?"

Shen Wenyao looked up, a hint of doubt in her eyes.

"That's not it. It's just that seeing Fairy Shen plotting and scheming for me like this, I inexplicably thought of a scene of 'colluding in evil'."

Lin Changsheng smiled, looking relaxed.

In truth, he didn't care too much about Master Yu Huai and Master Qing She.

If it weren't for Guigu Zhenjun keeping the two under his control, Lin Changsheng would have long wanted to find an opportunity to kill them.

"What collusion! So Wen Yao is so despicable in Fellow Daoist Lin's eyes!"

Shen Wenyao gave Lin Changsheng a reproachful look with her alluring eyes.

As the two chatted and laughed, they arrived outside Qingquan Island.

A middle-aged woman, accompanied by Lu Xun and a group of high-ranking members of the Li family, had arrived nearby and were respectfully paying their respects outside.

Looking at the barrier that had been opened outside Qingquan Island, and the faint pressure of the Golden Core cultivator emanating from it, Qu Jiao's weathered face revealed excitement.

"The Li family of Dafang Township congratulates Master Lin on his advancement to the Golden Core stage!"

"On behalf of the Li clan, I respectfully welcome Master Lin back to his homeland!"

As they spoke, members of the Li clan bowed and greeted each other, making it appear extremely solemn.

If this continues, readers will stop supporting the book, the data will be even worse, I can forget about receiving gifts, and I'll be accused of not being able to continue writing and wanting to abandon the project. It's really terrible~)
