Steady Mortal Path: Starting from Obtaining the Golden Core Inheritance

In addition, Lin Changsheng also received a surprising piece of news from Guigu Zhenjun.

The latter also had a similar experience to Lin Changsheng, having been besieged by cultivators from the 'Nine Cauldrons Sect'.

Although Guigu Zhenjun did not specify the details, his sigh mixed with a hint of lingering fear showed that the outcome was extremely tragic.

"Even the Supreme Elder is having trouble dealing with this. Could it be that the Nine Cauldrons Sect has dispatched multiple True Monarchs, or even late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators?"

Lin Changsheng took the matter of the Spirit Cauldron and the Nine Cauldrons Sect very seriously and wanted to get more information from Ghost Valley True Monarch so that he could prepare a response in advance.

Guigu Zhenjun naturally saw through Lin Changsheng's intentions.

However, he did not reveal much, only stating frankly:

"Although Elder Lin is different from ordinary Golden Core cultivators, as long as he has not advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, his cultivation level will always be a weakness. The affairs of the Eastern Region are still too far away for him."

"Moreover, I, the True Lord, have been rooted in the Gunzhou region for many years. Even if cultivators from the Nine Cauldrons Sect travel a long way to come, they may not be able to get what they want. Elder Lin only needs to improve his cultivation as soon as possible. Only by advancing to the Nascent Soul stage can he provide more assistance in dealing with the crisis of the Nine Cauldrons Sect in the future."

Guigu Zhenjun remained silent about what happened back then, speaking with an air of nonchalance.

"The Nascent Soul realm is too difficult. To be honest, even now, I have not made halfway to the Nascent Soul Spiritual Object, and I have no confidence in this realm at all."

Lin Changsheng sighed softly and shook his head modestly.

In fact, with the help of practicing the Everlasting Spring Technique and his special talent, and after years of accumulation, Lin Changsheng's cultivation progress is now on par with some exceptionally talented geniuses.

In the Eastern Regions that the Reincarnation Saint King once traveled, there were records of top sects cultivating cultivators at the 'seed' level, with some even advancing to the Nascent Soul realm before the age of two hundred.

However, Lin Changsheng's cultivation method is special, and his vitality is far superior to others. At present, he is almost not limited by age, nor does he have any anxiety about lifespan. He can maintain a steady accumulation and make progress without deliberately chasing the pace.

"This is precisely why I sought out Elder Lin."

"Not long ago, news spread within the Sea Clan about the rare treasure 'Seven Treasures Lotus Platform.' This item has a significant auxiliary effect on the breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage. Elder Lin might be able to obtain it to increase the chances of advancement."

Guigu Zhenjun stared at Lin Changsheng with a half-smile on his face.

"Although the Seven Treasures Lotus Platform has the miraculous effect of assisting in the formation of the Nascent Soul, the Blood Extreme Demon Palace has already made the news public in a big way, and True Monarch Blood Shadow values ​​it even more. Moreover, this treasure is located in the forbidden area of ​​the Sea Clan. My cultivation is too meager to dare to covet it."

Lin Changsheng seemed oblivious to Guigu Zhenjun's implication and spoke calmly.

Seemingly calm on the surface, Lin Changsheng secretly guessed that perhaps Ghost Valley True Monarch knew the wonderful uses of the 'Seven Treasures Lotus Platform', which was why he had the same idea as Blood Shadow True Monarch.

If that's the case, Lin Changsheng will have to temporarily abandon his idea about the 'Seven Treasures Lotus Platform'.

He was unwilling to provoke either Blood Shadow True Monarch, Ghost Valley True Monarch, or the Sea Clan Forbidden Domain.

"Hehe, although the Seven Treasures Lotus Platform can help with advancing to the Nascent Soul stage, that is not its true function. This treasure is of great use to me, and even if I cannot obtain it, I must not let it fall into the hands of that old guy Blood Shadow."

"This is the lotus seed that comes with the Seven Treasures Lotus Platform. I found it on a sea creature cultivator. It is a rare wood-attribute spiritual object and it is a perfect match for Elder Lin's cultivation method."

Guigu Zhenjun feigned mystery, and after a flash of dark light, a 'fruit' the size of a bowl appeared in his hand, shimmering with a faint green light.

Although there was a magical aura surrounding it, Lin Changsheng could still sense a clear, woody fragrance emanating from the 'fruit,' which complemented his own aura and felt very familiar.

The Seven Treasures Lotus Platform has the effect of assisting in the formation of the Nascent Soul, and its accompanying lotus seeds also promote the breakthrough to the Nascent Soul realm.

"Companion lotus seeds?"

Lin Changsheng looked surprised, and thought to himself that the other party indeed knew the further uses of the 'Seven Treasures Lotus Platform'.

"This companion lotus seed is round and plump, full of vitality. It should have been separated from the Seven Treasures Lotus Platform mother plant for a relatively short time. In addition, not long ago, that old fellow Blood Shadow also unexpectedly obtained a lotus seed from the forbidden area of ​​the sea race. Therefore, I, the True Monarch, judge that the legendary 'Seven Treasures Lotus Platform' may very well exist among the sea race."

Guigu Zhenjun held up the lustrous 'fruit' in his hand and then said:

"Blood Shadow True Monarch also knew this secret, so he took advantage of the auction to summon Nascent Soul True Monarchs from all over the world, attracting the attention of the Sea Clan's powerful figures from the front, while secretly forming an elite Golden Core team to secretly go to the Sea Clan's forbidden area to search for the Seven Treasures Lotus Platform."

"So that's what they were planning."

Lin Changsheng looked thoughtful, not surprised by Blood Shadow True Monarch's actions.

Nascent Soul level cultivators all possess their own unique identifiers and auras.

Even if one deliberately hides, once one ventures into the forbidden area of ​​the sea race, one is likely to be detected by the powerful sea race members.

On the contrary, Golden Core cultivators tend to attract less attention.

As long as they make a big show of force and attract the attention of the fourth-level sea race experts, this elite team of Golden Core cultivators might actually be able to launch a surprise attack without the intervention of the fourth-level sea race experts.

After Guigu Zhenjun got to the point, Lin Changsheng was able to sense the implied meaning in his words.

As a Nascent Soul True Monarch with considerable strength far exceeding that of ordinary early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, his every move is closely watched by the powerful members of the Sea Clan.

Infiltrating the forbidden area of ​​the sea creatures undetected is virtually impossible.

Therefore, they could only follow the example of Blood Shadow True Monarch and find a reliable Golden Core cultivator to infiltrate and gather information.

However, in Lin Changsheng's view, even if he risked obtaining the treasure from the forbidden area of ​​the sea tribe, the Seven Treasures Lotus Platform would undoubtedly be a hot potato for him. In order to plan for the Nascent Soul stage, it was not worth provoking the Ghost Valley True Monarch and the Blood Shadow True Monarch.

"Elder Lin possesses the Spirit Cauldron of the Supreme Wood, and his willingness to approach us now must indicate that he has the confidence to protect himself in front of a Nascent Soul True Monarch. Elder Lin may wish to consider this carefully. In fact, you only need to enter the Sea Clan's Forbidden Zone and find out the location of the 'Seven Treasures Lotus Platform,' and I, True Monarch, will handle the rest."

"Regardless of whether the matter succeeds or not, the accompanying lotus seeds will be paid in advance. If the Seven Treasures Lotus Platform can be obtained, I promise to provide a fourth-level Daoist temple unconditionally in the future, and I can also lend this treasure to Elder Lin to help him break through to the Nascent Soul realm."

Before Lin Changsheng could refuse, Guigu Zhenjun took the initiative to make the suggestion, seemingly with great sincerity.

……

The territory of the Guigu Sect.

Green Fairy City.

Nestled between water and desert, this celestial city possesses both the vibrant beauty of shimmering water and the mysterious grandeur of a desert climate. Its scale has expanded nearly three times since its original form, making it one of the few large celestial cities in Gunzhou.

On this day, a group of people dressed in the robes of Ghost Valley Sect cultivators gathered in a certain place within the Immortal City.

"Junior Brother He, I heard from the other junior brothers and sisters on the peak that when you helped them sell this year's spiritual plants, you secretly lowered the prices and took a kickback. Is this true?"

A tall, beautiful woman in the late Foundation Establishment stage, dressed in the robes of a second-generation disciple, had a hint of displeasure in her eyes and spoke with a questioning tone.

“You are also an ‘old-timer’ of Mingling Peak. It’s not enough that you’ve been using your position to amass wealth. Now you’re even targeting your fellow disciples. That’s really going too far. If what my fellow disciples say is true, I would appreciate it if you could return the excess spirit stones.”

Looking at the slick-looking middle-aged man in front of her, Xiang Minjun felt disgusted by his behavior and spoke to him without any politeness.

"Hehe, you people from Qingluan Peak are really united. Even for such a trivial matter, you have to trouble Senior Sister Xiang to make a special trip."

"Very well, since Senior Sister has spoken, Junior Brother has nothing more to say..."

He Dawei sighed helplessly, taking in the indignant gaze before him. He snorted coldly and said reluctantly.

Who could blame them when Xiang Minjun is the current senior disciple of Mingling Peak and a direct disciple of Qingluan Zhenren?

Master Zhang Meng went away to train years ago and never returned. With the resources of Qingluan Peak and Mingling Peak being integrated, the disciples were divided into two factions.

While Master Qingluan was in charge, he treated everyone equally. However, as the senior disciple of Mingling Peak and a direct disciple of Master Qingluan, Xiang Minjun naturally felt closer to the original disciples of Qingluan Peak.

The disciples of the Old Netherworld Peak were often targeted and suppressed.

Suddenly, a spirit pigeon bearing the insignia of Mingling Peak descended from the sky, carrying a letter in its beak.

He Dawei took the letter curiously, his narrow eyes squinting as he read its contents.

Before long, the middle-aged man with squinting eyes began to breathe rapidly, his hand holding the letter trembled slightly, and his eyes revealed an undisguised excitement.

"Haha, Xiang Minjun, let me tell you, helping my fellow disciples in the peak sell spiritual plants requires using the resources and channels of my chamber of commerce, as well as expending manpower and energy. I should take the kickback. Even if you complain to the peak, I, He Dawei, am not afraid!"

He Dawei's tone was inexplicably excited, a stark contrast to his usual submissiveness towards Xiang Minjun. His attitude was incredibly firm, and he seemed to have a sense of triumph.
