A mortal, starting with the Heavenly Bottle!

After the Miaoyin Sect, several other sects from Tianxing City arrived. These sects were all quite well-known, otherwise they wouldn't have received Lin Fan's invitation.

Their purposes for coming were basically the same: first, to congratulate Lin Fan on his successful formation of the Golden Core; second, to hope to befriend Lin Fan, and ideally, for him to become a guest elder of their sect.

Every year, they would also give Lin Fan a considerable amount of spirit stones as an offering.

However, Lin Fan did not agree to any of these offers, but he did make a deal with them.

At the same time, he also asked the Core Formation stage cultivators who came to him for advice on refining natal magic treasures.

Then there's the matter of materials, which is of utmost importance to Lin Fan right now.

The news that Lin Fan, a rogue cultivator, had successfully formed his core in less than a century also spread extremely quickly.

After all, the last rogue cultivator to successfully form his core in less than a century was called the Heavenly Mirror Master.

After all, the status of rogue cultivators in the cultivation world is not very high, and being able to establish a foundation is already an extremely fortunate opportunity.

Generally speaking, once a rogue cultivator successfully establishes their foundation, they will choose to join a sect, becoming a disciple or a minor manager, thus gaining a certain status and access to cultivation resources.

As for rogue cultivators at the Core Formation stage, they are extremely rare, and it often takes more than a hundred years for them to have any hope of successfully forming their Core.

In the past thousand years, Lin Fan is the only Core Formation cultivator who has successfully formed his core in less than a century.

It's easy to imagine how big a sensation it caused.

Of course, this was something Lin Fan did intentionally.

It was precisely for this reason that more and more sects and cultivators began to visit Lin Fan, and Lin Fan basically accepted all of them, including those from sects, gangs, and rogue cultivators who had reached the Core Formation stage.

I also learned a lot from them about their experience in crafting natal magic weapons, and even obtained several books on weapon crafting.

However, this was not a gift from anyone, but obtained through a transaction using a thousand-year-old spiritual herb from Han Li.

Although the Chaotic Star Sea has demon cores, which can replace spiritual medicines, they are not easy to obtain.

Therefore, this kind of thousand-year-old spiritual medicine is quite rare in the Chaotic Star Sea.

Even for Core Formation stage cultivators, obtaining it is often not an easy task.

It's just that its value is slightly lower than that of Tiannan, but not by much.

……

"These past few days, so many powerful cultivators have come to visit Brother Lin. Is there something going on?"

Xin Ruyin said with some concern inside the cave.

The main reason is that some sects and forces, having not received an invitation from Lin Fan, are trying to get their hands on him.

Moreover, Xin Ruyin also felt that more and more powerful cultivators were inviting Lin Fan, and she always felt that some of them had ill intentions and wanted to get something from Lin Fan.

After all, anyone who isn't a fool can guess that a rogue cultivator, especially one who was once unknown, must have had a great opportunity to successfully form his core in less than a hundred years.

However, Lin Fan politely declined all invitations from cultivators and powerful forces, and now he stays in his cave to cultivate and study weapon crafting techniques.

If there are any materials needed, we will ask someone to buy them for us, at most we will pay a little extra for the delivery fee.

Lin Fan was very concerned about his safety, and Xin Ruyin could naturally see that.

But I just don't understand why Lin Fan would deliberately expose the fact that he had formed his core in less than a hundred years. This was clearly asking for trouble.

"Indeed, some forces have ill intentions. In the past period, no fewer than ten sects have wanted me to become an elder in their sect, and others have wanted me to participate in some trade fairs and auctions. Without exception, they all want me to leave the cave. Perhaps they really have good intentions and want to befriend me, but I feel that they mostly want me to leave the cave so that they can take action against me."

"Then why did Brother Lin reveal that he formed his core in less than a hundred years? Could it be that you have some other purpose?"

After hearing Lin Fan's words, Xin Ruyin frowned deeply, clearly puzzled.

"Because I want to go to a power that can satisfy me, but unfortunately none of the ones that have come these past few days have satisfied me. It's really a pity; I feel that my achievement of forming the Core Formation in less than a hundred years is not attractive enough."

Lin Fan explained with a smile, and his explanation made Xin Ruyin's brows relax a bit.

"So, Brother Lin, what kind of faction do you wish to join?"

"I want to join the Star Palace, but unfortunately, they haven't sent anyone to invite me yet. They're probably still investigating. They won't invite me to join them unless they have a clear understanding of my situation. As for why I want to join the Star Palace, it's naturally because of them. They are the number one power in the Chaotic Star Sea, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call them an official power. Joining them would be like having a powerful backer."

"Ordinary sect cultivators won't easily harm us, and we can also gain the attention of the Star Palace. Most importantly, I want to see if there's any way within the Star Palace to resolve your Dragon Roar Body. If there is, perhaps I can help you resolve this Dragon Roar Body when I advance to the Nascent Soul stage."

Lin Fan's words moved Xin Ruyin even more, and her gaze towards him became more complex.

"Thank you, Brother Lin. I really didn't know..."

"Alright, no need for thanks. If you really want to express your gratitude, how about you make me a few more sets of formations? We're sure to be in trouble soon, so these formations are essential if we want to strengthen ourselves quickly."

Lin Fan said with a smile.

"I understand. I will do my best to create more formations for Brother Lin these next few days. But Brother Lin, you still need to be careful."

Xin Ruyin immediately agreed to the conditions Lin Fan proposed.

"That's good, then I can rest assured. By the way, how's Junior Brother Han doing lately? He'll need at least ten or twenty years of worldly experience."

Lin Fan then inquired about Han Li's situation.

"I had Xiaomei check on him a few days ago, and she said that Brother Han is doing quite well now. He's already a well-known doctor in that area, and he's saved many people."

Upon hearing Lin Fan's question about Han Li, Xin Ruyin recounted in detail the information she had gathered beforehand.

Just as the two were having a pleasant conversation, a streak of fire shot out from outside the cave, completely ignoring the restrictions inside, and arrived right in front of Lin Fan.

It didn't transform into a talisman; instead, a voice rang out directly from within.

"Senior Lin, my young master requests your presence."
