Steady Mortal Path: Starting from Obtaining the Golden Core Inheritance

"Six-winged spirit fish..."

"Improve the quality of the spiritual veins..."

Lin Changsheng was slightly moved.

At the same time, I searched for the 'Reincarnation Saint King's' thousand-year memories and looked for information about the six-winged spirit fish, but found nothing.

After all, the time he had inherited the memories of the 'Saint of Reincarnation' was still short, and with a large amount of fragmented memories accumulating, Lin Changsheng could only digest them in general terms. Some things that he had a vague impression of were almost impossible to find.

Of course, this is also due to the fact that human cultivators lack knowledge about sea creatures.

However, according to Jiao Li, if she truly has the ability to improve the quality of spiritual veins, then the value of such a special spiritual body must be extremely high.

Even in the entire cultivation world, any treasures related to improving the quality of spiritual veins are extremely rare and all are very valuable.

After all, high-quality spiritual veins are of utmost importance to cultivators, and to a certain extent, they can even influence the upper limit of their cultivation.

Without a suitable spiritual vein and cultivation ground, one's cultivation level cannot continue to improve.

For example, in this world, although it is vast and has many continents, it is limited by high-level spiritual veins. Being able to cultivate to the late Nascent Soul stage is considered to be the pinnacle of this world.

Further up, fifth-order spiritual veins are scarce, making it difficult even for powerful late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators to find an opportunity for advancement.

"Keeping this six-winged spirit fish by your side may be risky, but in the long run, it may come in handy."

Lin Changsheng had some vague ideas about the special effects of the Jiao Li.

Just as Jiao Li said, Lin Changsheng sensed a divine sense imprint within her body that was no weaker than that left by a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. It must have been that mid-stage fourth-tier sea race expert.

Lin Changsheng had two special memories and experiences to rely on. In his opinion, this wisp of divine sense imprint was not sophisticated, and was even a little rough. It was clear that the fourth-level sea race expert was not proficient in restriction techniques, but only had the advantage of a strong and crude divine sense.

Moreover, leaving such a divine imprint will also have some influence on the divine sense of that fourth-tier sea race expert.

The fact that the other party was willing to sacrifice their own spiritual energy to use such a method shows how much they valued Jiao Li.

Lin Changsheng was only a little over two hundred years old when he reached the late stage of the Golden Core realm. As his cultivation level improved, he would eventually face the problem of spiritual veins.

Leaving Jiao Li behind is a way to have a backup plan and prevent future problems.

As for the fact that the Jiao Li can only enhance the restrictions on spiritual veins within water areas, it's not a big problem for Lin Changsheng.

Water nourishes wood, and his main cultivation technique, "Evergreen Wood Technique," is a wood-attribute technique. In an environment rich in water-attribute energy, it also has a slight promoting effect on wood attributes, at least it won't have the opposite effect due to conflicting attributes.

However, if this woman is kept by our side, the sea race's powerful divine consciousness imprint within her body needs to be removed as soon as possible.

Otherwise, although this method cannot control Jiao Li, it is like a guiding light in the dark, constantly being monitored by the latter.

"Since you are not of the merfolk race and yearn for the human world, I can find a way to expel the divine consciousness from your body, so that you can completely break free from the merfolk race. Are you willing?"

After a brief inquiry, Lin Changsheng gained a preliminary understanding of Jiao Li's experiences and personality.

She was a 'six-winged spirit fish', but she fell into the hands of the merfolk in her childhood and lost her freedom ever since.

The Merfolk clan used her special talent to slowly enhance the clan's spiritual veins. To prevent this from being discovered by rival sea races, only a very few high-ranking members of the Merfolk clan were qualified to know about it, and ordinary Merfolk were not allowed to have any contact with her.

Therefore, although Jiao Li has lived for hundreds of years, her mind is pure and simple, no different from that of a child.

"Human child... are you telling the truth!?"

Lin Changsheng's words first surprised Jiao Li, then her face showed an expression of unbelievable joy.

……

the next period of time.

Lin Changsheng made an agreement with Jiao Li that he would not excessively restrict her movements and would even allow her to move around in the human immortal city, but on the condition that she learn human behavior and habits, get rid of her demon beast habits, and completely obey Lin Changsheng's words. When she goes out, Hu Xiaoli must accompany her.

At the same time, Lin Changsheng also taught Jiao Li the method of 'disguise and bone shrinking'.

Combined with her special ability to conceal her aura, unless one encounters a Nascent Soul True Monarch, even a late-stage Golden Core cultivator would find it difficult to discern Jiao Li's true identity.

On this day, in the Daocheng Mountains.

The crow of Xunfeng let out a clear cry, its handsome figure circling in mid-air.

"Big eagle, you're amazing! You fly so fast!"

On its back was a beautifully sculpted human girl. Despite feeling the biting wind, she showed no discomfort. Instead, she excitedly waved her hands, her eyes sparkling with life. The two little pigtails on her head added to her playful charm as she swayed restlessly.

Perhaps reflecting her true psychological age, Jiao Li, after using the "Disguise and Shrink" technique, sheds her alien features and appears as a human girl.

"Aww~ Waaaaah~~"

The snow wolf howled urgently from below, its body pacing anxiously left and right, its clear black and white eyes fixed on the girl above, as if calling out to her incessantly.

"Hmph, you stinky white wolf! Last time I just plucked some of your fur, and you threw me off you! You stingy little devil, I'm never playing with you again!"

Seeing the Snow Demon Wolf calling out incessantly below, Jiao Li, who had transformed into a little girl, had a hint of smugness in her bright eyes, but she patiently spoke with a cold face.

However, unable to resist the Snow Demon Wolf's constant flattery, Jiao Li finally succumbed to the allure of its soft white fur. Her little face was full of smugness as she mercifully said, "Seeing how pitiful you are, I'll forgive you for now."

Before long, a strange scene appeared in the mountains.

A naive and adorable little girl rode on the back of a sturdy snow wolf, her chubby arms carrying a wind crow bigger than herself, frolicking in the mountains and fields, filling the air with innocent and joyful laughter.

"White Wolf, as long as you become my mount every day from now on, I'll use the 'Snail Shell' magic weapon to take care of that giant centipede that bullied you back then!"

Jiao Li looked excited and started making grand promises to the snow demon wolf beneath her.

"The innate supernatural power of the 'Six-Winged Spirit Fish' clan is that even when they are not in the water, they can make other demonic beasts feel close to them."

Lin Changsheng stood atop the mountain, gazing into the distance, and spoke calmly.

The next day.

Combining his experience as the 'Saint King of Reincarnation', Lin Changsheng used his own early-stage Nascent Soul consciousness to help Jiao Li remove the divine consciousness imprint from her body.

Because the opponent's spiritual level far exceeds that of the early Nascent Soul stage, it would take at least several months to completely expel it.

At the same time, the aura of a Golden Core cultivator descended upon the outer perimeter of the training ground.

A short while later, Hu Xiaoli brought news.

"Senior Lin, Elder Jin Mengqiao from the Xuanmiao Chamber of Commerce has come to visit."

Hu Xiaoli became increasingly respectful.

At first, when she followed Senior Lin, she secretly harbored some unrealistic fantasies, thinking that this Golden Core senior was the type who liked her petite and dependent type.

But as time went by and she learned more about Senior Lin, she finally let go of her illusions and just wanted to do her best to fulfill her duties.

Even though she was only a maid, her status was greatly elevated in the merchant guild, the sect, and the immortal city.

Occasionally, when she goes out to buy things, she encounters some Foundation Establishment cultivators who greet her very politely.

Even Jin Mengqiao, a high-ranking member of the Chamber of Commerce at the Golden Core Elder level, took the initiative to visit Senior Lin.

The value of Lin's work continues to rise.

……

"Elder Jin Mengqiao?"

"I wonder what kind of expression this woman will have when she sees me in person."

Lin Changsheng's expression was strange, and a hint of wicked amusement arose in his heart.

With his divine sense, he had already discovered Jin Mengqiao, who was currently outside the dojo.

Back then, this woman looked down on his status as a Foundation Establishment cultivator. After cooperating with him, she no longer found him useful and discarded him like trash.

While it wouldn't be accurate to call them "discarding their usefulness after they've served their purpose," they showed no mercy whatsoever, and even profited a considerable amount of spirit stones from Lin Changsheng while he was purchasing materials to refine the 'Golden Core'.

After advancing to the Golden Core stage, Lin Changsheng, using his identity as Elder Zhang Meng of the Ghost Valley Sect, swindled her out of a lot of resources as compensation.

But now that he sees her again as 'Lin Fu Master', and this woman has taken the initiative to come to his door, he is quite curious about her reaction.
