A mortal, starting with the Heavenly Bottle!

After exchanging a few more words, Lin Fan said goodbye and left.

Before leaving, let Han Li think it over carefully about whether or not he should bring Qingwu into the world of cultivation.

"As expected of Old Devil Han, his luck is truly amazing."

After leaving, Lin Fan took out the demon core of the Golden Beast, his face full of joy and envy.

He was extremely envious of Han Li's luck.

Fortunately, this thing eventually became his. Now he only needs to refine the demon core of this Golden Beast to successfully advance to the mid-stage of Core Formation.

But if the improvement is this fast, it will definitely attract attention, and then there will be more trouble.

Even if his techniques for concealing his aura and hiding his cultivation level are very powerful, it is still difficult to deceive a Nascent Soul stage cultivator.

Therefore, it is not suitable to break through at the moment, and it would be better to wait until the mid-stage of Core Formation.

Further refinement and breakthrough will allow you to directly reach the late stage of Core Formation.

Although doing this might cause one's true essence and magical power to become unstable later, as long as one properly secludes oneself to temper it, there shouldn't be any problems.

After all, the further you go in the cultivation of immortality, the harder it gets!

The process from the early to the middle stage of Core Formation is definitely much easier than the process from the middle to the late stage.

Moreover, the required elixirs and cultivation resources will be much less.

With this in mind, Lin Fan decided to put it aside for now and refine the Golden Beast's demon core after breaking through to the mid-stage.

As for his preparation to return to Kuixing Island, it's because there's still one thing he hasn't done.

It's time to go back; the timing is about right.

……

Lin Fan did not tell anyone about his return to Kui Xing Island.

Neither Xin Ruyin nor Han Li informed them.

He returned quietly by himself to avoid attracting any trouble.

Because his current status is different from before; he is now a well-known figure in Tianxing City, and even the entire Chaotic Star Sea.

Although he can't leave in a grand manner, there are quite a few forces in the current chaotic Star Sea that want him dead.

Whether they are righteous or demonic, or those who have a grudge against Xinggong, they probably all want to take his life.

In this situation, it is natural to keep a low profile.

……

The distance from Tianxing City to Kuixing Island isn't exactly short, but it's nothing for a Core Formation stage cultivator.

Moreover, Lin Fan didn't rely on himself; instead, he rented a second-tier flying demon beast.

Although their speed is not as fast as that of a Core Formation cultivator, it surpasses that of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

This would greatly conserve his true essence and magical power, and he would also have enough time to rest and study weapon crafting techniques on the way.

After all, he was going to personally refine his natal magic weapon.

There can be absolutely no mistakes, so I have to study the crafting process myself.

……

After returning to the waters around Kui Xing Island, Lin Fan breathed a sigh of relief and immediately returned the rented monsters to the Merchant Alliance.

Immediately afterwards, they went to an important place called Xiaohuan Island.

This is where the Gold-Eating Insects reside. According to the previous plan, the Gold-Eating Insects should have already emerged by now.

These gold-devouring insects are valuable, and they will be of great use both now and in the future.

It is also a powerful weapon for eliminating strong enemies, but only if it can be cultivated to maturity.

It needs to be cultivated to at least a semi-mature stage; right now it's just a larva and doesn't have much use yet.

But for Lin Fan now, this is not a difficult thing.

He had previously prepared the food that the spirit insects liked in his cave on Xiaohuan Island.

Now it's time to reap the rewards.

When he arrived at the cave on this small island, he was able to see the large silver ball that the Gold-Eating Insect larva had transformed into.

It was hanging on a tree branch. The silver ball was not very big, only about the size of a head, and it emitted an eerie silver glow, which was very eye-catching.

Upon seeing the silver sphere, Lin Fan instinctively recalled relevant records.

"Gold-Eating Insect: A gregarious spirit insect, ranked twelfth. It is adept at devouring metals and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. It is extremely ferocious and impervious to water and fire. Its weakness is that it can be trapped by jade and stone objects, and it is mutually restraining among spider-like spirit insects..."

After confirming that there were no errors in the records, Lin Fan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

And immediately, all of these gold-devouring insects were identified as owners.

Next, he needs to properly cultivate these gold-eating insects.

This is the most important thing right now, and we absolutely cannot afford any problems.

After successfully recognizing the master, Lin Fan finally felt a little relieved.

Then, he completely destroyed the makeshift cave he had set up, leaving no trace behind.

After resolving the issue of the Gold-Eating Insects, Lin Fan did not return to Tianxing City immediately, but instead went to Tiandu Street.

This wasn't his first time here, so he was quite familiar with the place and went straight in.

They hadn't walked for long when they arrived at the location of the Six-Linked Palace, a place they knew very well.

The reason they were able to do it so quickly was not only because they were familiar with it, but also because the Six-Hall Connection was located in the center of the entire Tiandu Street.

Although he didn't have high hopes, he still wanted to see if the Six Connected Halls on Kui Xing Island had the Ten Thousand Year Jade he needed. Even if not, he could buy some other materials.

Anyway, he's currently learning the art of weapon crafting, and he needs quite a lot of materials.

After all, this natal magic weapon cannot be forged in one go; it requires learning the art of weapon forging to a certain extent.

For example, he is now able to successfully forge top-tier magical artifacts, and the success rate is quite high, about 60%.

If he were a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he could already be considered a master of weapon crafting.

But for Lin Fan right now, it's still not enough.

Therefore, he needs more materials to learn the crafting process, hoping to refine his natal magic weapon in one go.

Therefore, he planned to purchase some materials in this six-sectioned hall.

The material prices here are cheaper than in Tianxing City.

There's no way around it; Tianxing City is equivalent to the capital city in my previous life, so prices are naturally higher than in other places.

Although Lin Fan was not short of spirit stones, he knew that he should save them when necessary.

"Senior, is there anything you need to buy?"

Just as Lin Fan was about to step into one of the shops in the Six-Linked Palace, a pleasant voice rang in his ears.

Following the sound, two beautiful and charming young women came into view. Not only were they good-looking, but they were also dressed in a very sexy and daring way.

Not only were her snow-white arms exposed, but her smooth calves were also visible. Most importantly, she wasn't wearing shoes or socks, and her delicate, petite feet made it hard not to take a second look.

Upon seeing this, Lin Fan thought of two women.

"Are you Yuan Yao and Yan Li?"

After taking a quick look, Lin Fan asked the question.
