Steady Mortal Path: Starting from Obtaining the Golden Core Inheritance

On Mingling Peak.

After the leader of the alliance finished speaking, the others remained silent.

Across from him, a cryptic smile appeared on the young and handsome face of Guigu Zhenjun.

"I presume that Fellow Daoist Wan's purpose in seeking Nascent Soul Pills is for this person?"

Guigu Zhenjun shifted his gaze, landing on the Golden Core cultivator beside Alliance Leader Wan.

In fact, Lin Changsheng had noticed this person a long time ago.

Although both were at the late Golden Core stage, this person's magical power was significantly inferior to Lin Changsheng's.

However, his cultivation method seemed somewhat special, bearing a six or seven-tenths resemblance to that of Alliance Leader Wan beside him, clearly indicating that they shared the same lineage.

"Junior Wan Hao from the Loose Cultivator Alliance greets Senior Guigu."

"Greetings, Master Lin and Fairy Shen."

The man, who identified himself as Wan Hao, stepped forward to greet him.

The difference was that when facing Guigu Zhenjun, his tone and demeanor were humble.

In front of Shen Wenyao, he deliberately presented himself as refined and extraordinary.

Wan Hao couldn't hide his pride when he mentioned his surname.

After all, from childhood to adulthood, under the care of his Nascent Soul True Monarch elders, his cultivation path has been almost smooth sailing, and he gets along very well with fellow cultivators or seniors.

Almost no one dared to plot or scheme against him, a descendant of a True Lord.

"Indeed, Hao'er is the most promising person among the clansmen of this alliance leader to advance to the Nascent Soul stage. If he delays for a while, even if he gathers the necessary materials for Nascent Soul formation in the future, he may miss the best age for Nascent Soul formation."

Alliance Leader Wan's gaze was deep as he fixed his eyes on Lin Changsheng before making a promise:

"If Alchemist Lin is willing to part with a Nascent Soul Pill, you may come to the Loose Cultivator Alliance to seek my help if you encounter any difficulties in the cultivation world of this region in the future."

Upon hearing this, Wan Hao, who was standing next to the Alliance Leader, couldn't help but glance at him sideways.

While Nascent Soul Pills are indeed precious, they ultimately only play a supporting role in the process of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage.

Moreover, it was a flawed pill.

In fact, Wan Mengzhu, being his aunt and a Nascent Soul True Monarch of considerable strength, had collected a genuine Nascent Soul Pill among the many Nascent Soul spiritual items for him.

Now, I have just learned that Master Lin of the Ghost Valley Sect has refined a Nascent Soul Pill, and I want to ask for one as a backup.

Before coming here, Wan Hao had also investigated some information about this Lin Dan master.

Apart from being favored by Master Guigu in his early years, he had no other background.

Her only advantage was perhaps her excellent appearance and temperament, which won her the favor of Fairy Shen.

For a Golden Core cultivator with no background, achieving the late-stage Golden Core realm through hard work is already extremely difficult. Ultimately, they lack the necessary foundation to break through to the Nascent Soul realm.

Having followed a True Monarch like Alliance Leader Wan since childhood, he was no stranger to high-level cultivators in the cultivation world.

He knew that the Nascent Soul realm was the realm of a ruler of a region, and those who could achieve such a realm were all people with profound backgrounds.

Therefore, this alchemist Lin, with only a flawed Nascent Soul Pill, was simply not capable of achieving Nascent Soul, nor was he worthy of his aunt's promise.

"Hehe, Fellow Daoist Wan is a bit impatient. Since you are looking to purchase surplus pills, you should wait until Elder Lin of my sect breaks through his cultivation level before making a decision."

Guigu Zhenjun smiled faintly and spoke slowly and deliberately.

When attempting to break through to the Nascent Soul realm, the effects of the 'Nascent Soul Pill,' a spiritual item that assists in the formation of the Nascent Soul, can actually be used in combination.

However, after taking more than two pills consecutively, its auxiliary effects will be greatly reduced, and it will be accompanied by great risks.

Of course, if one can achieve the Nascent Soul realm through this, the hidden dangers left over from the breakthrough are nothing, and only a dozen years of recuperation are needed.

However, if the breakthrough fails, the cultivator will have to endure the pain of the golden core shattering. Coupled with the aftereffects of taking too many pills during the breakthrough, it will undoubtedly be adding insult to injury, and there is even a risk of death.

Even so, most Golden Core cultivators, when they have enough spiritual resources, will still choose to go all out to advance to the Nascent Soul realm!

“Fellow Daoist Guigu, I have previously emphasized that this trip is a personal visit to Master Lin and has nothing to do with your sect.”

"Hao'er has been supported by me, the Alliance Leader, for many years. Anyone who causes him to waste his years and delay his advancement is an enemy who obstructs his path."

"Fellow Daoist Guigu still has conflicts with that old sea turtle. In such a sensitive period, it is best not to interfere in the affairs of this Alliance Leader."

The leader of the alliance looked less pleased and his voice turned slightly cold.

As he spoke, his gaze swept over Lin Changsheng, seemingly implying something and carrying a veiled threat.

"Friend Wan, you have such an arrogant tone! Your faction of the Loose Cultivator Alliance is far beyond Gunzhou, yet you dare to come here and threaten us!"

"Since I, the True Lord, dare to establish a sect, I must have my own means of securing my place in the world. Alliance Leader Wan, would you perhaps like to give it a try?"

Guigu Zhenjun's expression was unfriendly, and he said in a deep voice.

As he spoke, he flicked his wrist, and a dark, gloomy aura surged within him, as if it were about to burst forth at any moment.

This gloomy and malevolent aura caused the wind and clouds to surge within a hundred feet. The many disciples of the Netherworld Peak below were all affected by it, their faces turning pale and feeling deeply uncomfortable.

"Wait a minute."

"What Senior Wan said concerns the 'Nascent Soul Pill' and is related to my future cultivation level. Could you grant me a few days to consider it?"

Lin Changsheng stopped him in time, and after a moment's thought, said...

……

Three days later.

A nascent soul aura flew off from Mingling Peak in a high-profile manner.

Almost in the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the clouds.

Hundreds of miles away, under the protection of the Alliance Leader's Nascent Soul power, the fierce winds that swept them away at high speed had no effect on the two of them.

“Aunt, is it inappropriate to make such a promise to Alchemist Lin just for a flawed Nascent Soul Pill?”

"After all... my aunt came to buy it as a Nascent Soul True Monarch. That Alchemist Lin is outwardly friendly, but he probably already harbors resentment. If he were to advance to the Nascent Soul stage by chance, I'm afraid..."

Wan Hao was puzzled and hesitated to speak.

Although he didn't believe that the alchemist Lin could successfully advance to the Nascent Soul stage.

But one thing is certain: after this incident, the other party will definitely hold a grudge against the aunt and niece.

However, the clan aunt promised to help protect him while he was breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, preventing the sea tribes or other forces in Gunzhou from launching a sneak attack.

"It's alright. Breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage is no easy task. I will protect him during the process. I only need to intervene at the crucial moment to cut off his chance of advancement."

"That guy Guigu has been acting arrogantly these past few years, relying on his own tricks. Not only does he have a grudge against the Blood Shadow True Monarch of the Blood Extreme Demon Palace, but now he has also offended that mysterious old turtle of the sea tribe. I'm afraid he won't be able to keep jumping around for long."

"At that time, Lin Danshi will fail to break through to the Nascent Soul stage and lose the backing of Guigu. With a little effort, he can be won over to our Loose Cultivator Alliance."

"To win over a fourth-tier alchemist in the late Golden Core stage, whose skills are exceptional and who is easy to control, is not a bad idea."

The Alliance Leader seemed to have planned this all along, speaking naturally.

……

Within a few days, the news had spread throughout the cultivation world of Gunzhou.

The leader of the Loose Cultivator Alliance went to the Ghost Valley Sect and, in front of the Ghost Valley True Monarch, took a newly refined 'Nascent Soul Pill' from Elder Lin of the sect.

Inside the Blood Demon Palace.

"Losing a 'Nascent Soul Pill', plus the impact on my mental state."

"It seems that it will be difficult for the Ghost Valley Sect to produce a second Nascent Soul cultivator in the short term, so there is no need to target this person anymore."

A thin young man with gloomy eyes and a blood-red glow on his face murmured.
