A mortal, starting with the Heavenly Bottle!

"Young Master!"

Upon hearing the words "Young Master," the two people in the cave exchanged a glance and blurted out the words simultaneously.

Compared to Lin Fan's calm expression, Xin Ruyin's face looked rather unpleasant.

Worry involuntarily welled up in both his eyes and his face.

Without a doubt, you could tell from that tone that the visitor had ill intentions.

"It's alright, I'll go out and see you staying in your cave. I also want to see which family's young master has come in person. It seems that my achievement of forming my core in less than a hundred years has already made me famous throughout the starry sea."

Seeing Xin Ruyin's worried expression, Lin Fan gently comforted her.

"But I have a feeling that the other party is probably jealous of Brother Lin and may be here to cause trouble. Brother Lin has not yet refined his natal magic weapon, and the other party is the young master of a powerful force. I'm afraid..."

Lin Fan's words of comfort did not improve Xin Ruyin's expression much; instead, they made her even more serious and worried, and she even voiced her guess.

"This young master is definitely up to no good, but you don't need to worry. I'm not someone to be trifled with either. Besides, have you ever seen me suffer a loss? Even if he is the young master of some powerful force, I haven't provoked him or offended him. At worst, we can all go into seclusion for a few decades or even a hundred years, and settle accounts with him after I advance to the Nascent Soul stage. Isn't that fine? So don't worry too much, just leave the rest to me."

After gently comforting him, Lin Fan got up and left his cave.

As soon as the restriction was broken and he left the cave, three figures appeared in front of Lin Fan.

These three figures consisted of one man and two women. The man was short and thin, with a face covered in black pockmarks, making him appear extremely ugly.

Both women were voluptuous and beautiful, wearing sleeveless short dresses, but they exuded a cold and sinister aura. Although they looked beautiful, they also made people shudder.

Most importantly, the two women were both at the Foundation Establishment stage, while the ugly young man was at the Core Formation stage.

When the young man saw Lin Fan come out on his own initiative, a slightly unsettling smile appeared on his incredibly ugly face.

"Fellow Daoist, do you know my identity, young master?"

"May I ask which faction's young master you are, fellow Daoist?"

Faced with the other party's proactive questioning, Lin Fan shook his head and asked back with a smile.

"I am Wu Chou of Ji Yin Island, you must have heard of me, fellow Daoist."

As he said this, the smile on the young man's face turned into one of arrogance.

"Extreme Yin Island!"

Upon hearing these three words, Lin Fan's expression changed instantly. He even worried that the teleportation array had been exposed, but upon closer inspection, it seemed unlikely.

Wu Chou didn't care about the change in Lin Fan's expression. Instead, he thought that Lin Fan was afraid of him, and he became even more smug.

"The main reason I've come here is that I've heard you successfully formed your core in less than a hundred years. Therefore, I wish to recruit you to join my Extreme Yin Island. Once our ancestor emerges from seclusion, with your talent, you might be able to become his disciple alongside me, becoming my junior brother. This would be an immense opportunity for you, so please don't miss it."

After saying this, Lin Fan's face showed surprise, but it only lasted for a moment.

Because he didn't expect that even the Extreme Yin Island would come to recruit him.

Judging from his appearance, he's already quite famous.

"Thank you for your kind words, Young Master Wu Chou. However, I am used to being alone and have no desire to join any faction. I hope you can understand. I have other matters to attend to, so I will not entertain you any longer. I am truly sorry."

Lin Fan cupped his hands in a gesture of refusal, and his refusal caused Wu Chou, whose face had been smug, to turn dark with anger.

This made his already dark complexion look even darker, like ink.

"Very well, very well. In all these years, no one has ever dared to refuse me so directly. Since you are unwilling to join my Extreme Yin Island, then you may die."

Wu Chou's threatening words startled Lin Fan. He hadn't expected this guy to be so arrogant and presumptuous.

They didn't take him, a Core Formation stage cultivator, seriously at all. They probably just thought he was a rogue cultivator, and one who hadn't even refined his own natal magic weapon, so he wasn't worth worrying about and posed a huge threat. They thought it was better to strike first, and at the same time, they might be able to obtain the opportunity from Lin Fan.

After all, anyone who isn't a fool wouldn't believe that a rogue cultivator could reach the Core Formation stage before the age of one hundred, relying solely on their cultivation talent; they must have had an incredible stroke of luck.

The reason this ugly man recruited him was most likely because of the opportunity he possessed.

His refusal gave Wu Chou a legitimate reason to take action immediately.

Anyway, Lin Fan doesn't have any powerful backing, so he's nothing to be afraid of.

Just as a jet-black gust of wind surged from Wu Chou's body, transforming into a tornado and heading towards Lin Fan.

Suddenly, a pure white light shot down from the clouds, instantly destroying the dark tornado.

Then, at the source of the light, a magnificent and luxurious palace, like a celestial palace, appeared. Inside the palace, a figure flew down and landed directly in front of Lin Fan.

The figure, surrounded by radiant light, was a kind-looking old man in white robes, exuding an air of Taoist immortality that made people feel at ease just by looking at him.

Without a doubt, this was an elder of the Holy Mountain, and his aura was extremely powerful, making people feel suffocated from the bottom of their hearts.

That's right, this is an elder in the Nascent Soul stage!

"Young Master Wu Chou, this is my Star Palace Sacred Mountain, not your Extreme Yin Island's place to act recklessly. I'm telling you, even the Extreme Yin Old Monster wouldn't dare to act presumptuously on my Star Palace Sacred Mountain. Who gave you the audacity?"

The white-robed elder of the Star Palace spoke in a very impolite tone, as if he didn't take Wu Chou, the young master of Jiyin Island, seriously at all.

Faced with such a Nascent Soul cultivator from the Star Palace, not only did Wu Chou, the young master of Jiyin Island, turn pale, but the two beautiful women in his arms also turned pale and trembled like two frightened little mice.

They were terrified of being implicated and killed by this Star Palace Elder.

Even if Elder Xinggong killed Wu Chou, the young master of Jiyin Island, Jiyin Old Monster probably wouldn't dare to say anything.

Because this Star Palace is the number one force in the entire Chaotic Star Sea, and it is also an official force.

"I apologize for my rudeness, Elder. I will take my leave now."

After saying this, Wu Chou was filled with resentment and left with his two concubines.

They were as if they were afraid of being wiped out if they were even a second late.
