Steady Mortal Path: Starting from Obtaining the Golden Core Inheritance

"Hehe, I know you are a filial child, but if you stay in the He family, you can still be taken care of. If you come with me, you will really become a rogue cultivator, wandering aimlessly. I will not be leaving for a while, so you should go back and think it over carefully."

Seeing Tian Fu's sincere gaze, Lin Changsheng softened his expression and spoke gently.

After driving the two away, Lin Changsheng returned to his room and took out a map of the cultivation world in Yue Kingdom to study it carefully.

The southern part of the entire Yue Kingdom territory was occupied by the Yue Kingdom's leader, 'Shangqing Palace', which could be considered to have occupied half of the country.

The southern part of Yue Kingdom is also a core region of the cultivation world.

Various spiritual veins, minerals, spiritual plants, and other resources account for nearly two-thirds of the entire cultivation world in the Yue Kingdom.

The Qinglan Sect's sphere of influence is located in the heart of the Yue Kingdom, in the central-eastern part.

Lin Changsheng stared at the map for a long time, then turned his attention to the territory of the Nangong family.

He pondered it in his heart.

The Nangong family is located in the northwestern part of Yue Kingdom. Compared with other forces, the number of local cultivators is considered to be in the middle to lower range. It is adjacent to Chiyan Valley in the east and Shangqing Palace in the south.

It's definitely a good place to go.

Although it is located in the prosperous Shangqing Palace area, with abundant resources, it is more suitable for cultivators to develop.

But that doesn't stop everyone else from having the same idea!

The southern part of Yue Kingdom gathers far more than two-thirds of all the cultivators in the entire Yue Kingdom!

Only with such a large base of cultivators can more high-level cultivators be born. This is also the fundamental reason why Shangqing Palace has always been far ahead and dominated the cultivation world of Yue Kingdom.

Competition in the south is too fierce, the pressure is too great, and the proportion of high-level cultivators is higher, which severely exploits low-level cultivators. It is too competitive and does not conform to Lin Changsheng's low-key, steady, and sustainable development philosophy.

In comparison, the Northwest region where the Nangong family is located is relatively sparsely populated and weaker, making it the most suitable place for Lin Changsheng's current development.

With this in mind, Lin Chang finally decided to go and investigate in person.

……

Half a month later.

Having made all the necessary preparations, Lin Changsheng left the He family and headed west.

He did not disturb the He family members during this trip; even Tian Fu and He Yun were unaware of it.

Lin Changsheng's courtyard was already remote and not considered part of the He family's core area, so naturally there was no family formation protecting it.

With his current abilities, it wouldn't be difficult for him to evade a few mid-stage Qi Condensation clansmen on patrol.

After flying more than ten miles away from the He family, Lin Changsheng used the technique of 'disguise and bone shrinking' to shorten his height by a few centimeters. His appearance also changed from the previous handsome and gentle one to a fierce and menacing look, exuding an aura that kept strangers at bay.

Lin Changsheng looked at his current 'appearance' and nodded in satisfaction.

Putting your original appearance next to your current 'fierce' look makes the former seem much easier to bully.

After changing his appearance, Lin Changsheng then urged the willow leaf shuttle to fly away. Whenever his magic power was consumed by more than one-third, he would immediately find a place to land and meditate to recover.

Always retain more than half of your magical power within your body to prevent any unexpected accidents.

And so, several days passed peacefully.

But as soon as he arrived at the territory of the Nangong family, Lin Changsheng, who was flying away, was suddenly struck by lightning and thunder. In the short time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the sky turned pitch black.

In the blink of an eye, thunder and rain poured down, and soon the temperature plummeted, followed by hailstones the size of pigeon eggs.

"We've actually encountered such a natural disaster..."

Frustrated, Lin Changsheng had no choice but to take out a first-grade high-level defensive talisman and activate it. Braving the hailstorm, he landed crookedly and quickly found a dilapidated temple built against the mountain.

With his first-tier, low-grade body refinement cultivation, he was not afraid of hail, but if he were unlucky enough to be struck by lightning, that would not be fun.

During the low-altitude flight, Lin Changsheng saw the fields of ordinary people below being destroyed and their houses collapsing and being destroyed.

In the distance, the helpless screams of women and girls could be faintly heard, but they were quickly drowned out by the 'whoosh' of the hail falling from the sky...

Lin Changsheng felt slightly annoyed.

They landed and entered the dilapidated temple.

He had already checked before coming in, and there were actually about a dozen mortal auras inside.

Interestingly, among these mortals, there were also two cultivators whose auras were hidden.

Lin Changsheng pushed open the door and entered; a faint firelight flickered inside the temple.

The temple was mostly filled with ordinary people dressed in hemp clothes and carrying farm tools. They looked like they were working in the fields and had come inside to take shelter after being hit by hail.

These people huddled together, their eyes filled with fear, worry, and despair…

The other young couple were dressed in tight-fitting clothes, with swords beside them, looking like wandering knights.

Despite carefully concealing their presence, they seemed to be intentionally hiding their identities.

But Lin Changsheng realized that both of them were cultivators with magical powers.

The men are at the fourth level of Qi Condensation, and the women are at the third level.

However, the woman seemed to be in poor condition at the moment. Her internal energy was unstable, and her face was bluish, indicating that she had been poisoned.

With Lin Changsheng's level of a mid-grade first-class physician, he quickly assessed the woman's condition.

"Hey, you blockhead, move aside a bit, give me some room!"

Lin Changsheng, with a fierce look on his face, casually pointed to a farmer sitting on dry straw and said domineeringly.

Upon seeing this, the farmer looked frightened and timidly moved to the side.

Lin Changsheng didn't stand on ceremony. He carried a gleaming gold-backed nine-ringed saber and swaggered over to sit down.

"Brother, I never imagined that there could be such a despicable person among ordinary people. I want to teach that villain a lesson."

The oval-faced girl with a bluish complexion frowned slightly upon seeing this and whispered to the man beside her.

"Hush, we're being hunted by those cultivators. If this hailstorm hadn't come so suddenly, our fate would be uncertain. It's best not to cause any trouble at this critical moment..."

The man whispered some words of advice to the girl, then took out some dried meat from his bag and distributed it to the surrounding farmers.

Everyone expressed their gratitude in unison.

"Hey, you idiot, let me have some of the meat in your bag!"

At this moment, Lin Changsheng glared fiercely at the man again.

"you!"

Upon hearing Lin Changsheng's words, the oval-faced girl's face regained some color, and her almond-shaped eyes were filled with anger.

"Oh, this little girl is quite pretty, but she looks sickly. I'm afraid she can't withstand my rough treatment. What bad luck."

Lin Changsheng said sarcastically.

"Brother, my younger sister is being immature, please forgive her."

The young man also took a deep breath before tearing off a piece of dried meat with a friendly smile and saying...

"Who's your big brother? Don't try to get close to me."

Lin Changsheng cursed and swore, then suddenly snatched the cloth bag from the man's hand, grabbed most of a piece of dried meat, and began to eat it heartily.

The man's face initially showed anger, but when he saw the jerky in the thug's hand, he suddenly felt a chill and quickly retreated to the girl's side.

"Brother, this person is too arrogant. He must be used to bullying men and women. I must rid the people of this scourge."

Upon seeing this, the girl's almond-shaped eyes revealed disgust, and she immediately made a hand seal, preparing to cast a spell.

"No, little sister!"

The man grabbed the girl, his expression grave.
