A mortal cultivating immortality can nurture spirit beasts.

Late at night, at Jingu Plain

When Lin He returned to his residence, Senior Sister Chen was already waiting there. Seeing that Lin He had returned safely, Senior Sister Chen finally felt relieved and rushed into Lin He's arms.

"You're back!"

"Didn't I tell you? Don't worry about me."

Lin He patted her on the shoulder and gestured for her to sit down. "Ancestor Linghu wants me to return to Huangfeng Valley."

"Why so suddenly? What exactly happened last night? I've only heard some rumors."

Lin He briefly recounted what had happened the previous night, and Senior Sister Chen was greatly astonished after listening.

"I never imagined so many things would happen in just one night."

"I killed more than a dozen Core Formation stage cultivators in Golden Drum Plain, which angered the six major sects of the Demonic Path. I don't want to stay in Golden Drum Plain any longer. That's why Ancestor Linghu knew this and sent me back."

Senior Sister Chen was very surprised to hear this. A Foundation Establishment cultivator had actually killed more than a dozen Core Formation cultivators. No one would believe it if this were said out loud, but it really happened.

"But you two had an agreement before, that if you didn't participate in the war, then what about the demonic path..."

"An agreement?" Lin He sneered. "The reason they made such an agreement was simply to kill me, but unexpectedly, they were killed by me instead. As for the agreement, you don't need to worry about it. Now that Ancestor Linghu has arrived, the final battle is no longer up to the Core Formation stage cultivators. It depends on how the Nascent Soul stage cultivators on both sides negotiate. That's not something I need to worry about."

Senior Sister Chen nodded, then asked, "What about me? Should I go back with you?"

"Of course," Lin He said, putting his arm around her shoulder. "If I leave, leaving you here alone, how can I feel at ease? I specifically asked the ancestor, and he said that our batch of Foundation Establishment cultivators will be transferred back to Huangfeng Valley in batches, and other Foundation Establishment cultivators will be sent there to take turns. You and I are among the first batch to return to the valley."

Senior Sister Chen felt much relieved, but then she thought of Dong Xuan'er and couldn't help but sigh, "I never imagined that Junior Sister Dong would actually be the daughter of a Nascent Soul cultivator from the demonic path. What a cruel twist of fate."

"Her current status is indeed not suitable for her to continue staying in Huangfeng Valley. Joining Hehuan Sect would be a good choice. With a father who is in the mid-Nascent Soul stage, her cultivation speed will be greatly accelerated."

Hearing Lin He say this, Senior Sister Chen suddenly said, "Actually, Junior Sister Dong is not wrong. If you go with her, the cultivation resources you can get will far exceed what you have now."

"Hehe, if I were to go to the Hehuan Sect, I would have to be subservient to others every day. Then there would be no point in talking about dignity and freedom. I would probably have to spend my whole life accompanying Junior Sister Dong day and night. That's not what I want."

"That's still better than you following that Fairy Nangong..." Senior Sister Chen blurted out, then realized something and quickly shut her mouth.

Seeing this, Lin He took a deep breath and said, "You...you knew everything!"

Senior Sister Chen nodded silently.

"Um, well... actually..."

Seeing Lin He's hesitant manner, Senior Sister Chen said, "You don't need to be like this. I don't mean to blame you. It's just that although I have a high status in the Chen family, I still have six older brothers above me. The cultivation resources I can get are limited, far less than those of Fairy Nangong. With her help, your chances of forming your core should be much higher."

"Oh, this..."

Lin He felt wronged upon hearing this. Senior Sister Chen actually treated him like a gigolo. He wanted to explain, but he didn't know how to say it.

"Forget it, being a kept man is fine, that can be used as an excuse."

Lin He could only think silently. Perhaps feeling a little guilty, Lin He tried his best tonight, and the two partied all night.

……

……

The next day,

Lin He didn't get up until the sun was high in the sky. Looking at his senior sister Chen, who was still fast asleep beside him, Lin He didn't wake her. After all, he had been partying all night and was quite tired.

Lin He walked out of his residence and happened to run into Li Huayuan and Yan Wu.

"Uncle-Master Li! Uncle-Master Yan!"

After exchanging greetings, Li Huayuan said with a delighted expression, "Nephew Lin, I really have to thank you this time!"

"Thank me?"

Lin He felt confused. Li Huayuan was very stingy. He had only managed to borrow the treasure because Hong Fu had taken the lead. He should be unhappy about it. Why was he thanking him?

Li Huayuan then explained, "Do you remember what Uncle Linghu said last night? He said the sect wanted to compensate us, so they specially selected us to attack Spirit Beast Mountain this time. Do you think I should thank you?"

"I see!"

Lin He immediately understood; attacking Spirit Beast Mountain was a lucrative opportunity.

Spirit Beast Mountain has developed for so many years, it must have a lot of rare spiritual herbs and natural treasures, and even a lot of rare spirit beasts, as well as experience in raising spirit beasts.

Li Huayuan and his group's trip to Spirit Beast Mountain will yield far more than just one ancient treasure; it can be considered a great opportunity.

Yan Wu, standing to the side, said with a frustrated expression, "I'm seriously injured and need to go back to the Giant Sword Sect to recuperate. I can't go to the Spirit Beast Mountain."

At this point, Yan Wu handed Jian Li's body to Lin He.

"If this person hadn't ambushed me, would I have missed such a great opportunity? Alas!"

Lin He could only offer a few words of comfort to the other party. At this moment, a bright-eyed, white-clad woman walked over; it was none other than Nangong Wan.

Li Huayuan and Yan Wu were quite sensible and quickly went to the side to wait.

"Thanks to you, I also have a spot in this attack on Spirit Beast Mountain."

With Li Huayuan and the others watching, Lin He didn't dare to go too far. He simply nodded and said...

"That's good. Oh, and you can take this."

Lin He took out a storage bag and handed it to her. Inside were the corpses of more than a dozen Core Formation stage cultivators.

Lin He killed thirteen Core Formation cultivators at Jingu Plain. Adding the corpses of Jian Li, the Li brothers, Old Monster Yan, and Meng Fan, there were exactly eighteen corpses.

Nangong Wan accepted the storage bag without ceremony, and reminded her, "You've caused quite a bit of trouble this time. You shouldn't leave Huangfeng Valley for the time being. Go into seclusion and cultivate, and try to advance as soon as possible."

Lin He nodded naturally. The two were reluctant to part for a while before finally saying goodbye. Nangong Wan then followed Li Huayuan and the others to the Spirit Beast Mountain.

Half a day later, Lin He, Senior Sister Chen, Liu Jing, Han Li and others gathered together. They were the first Foundation Establishment cultivators to return to Huangfeng Valley.

Han Li was also surprised to see Lin He. Lin He had killed thirteen Core Formation cultivators in a row last night. Such an event was too sensational to be kept secret and became the topic of conversation among the cultivators of the seven sects. Han Li had naturally heard about it as well.

While both are at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, Han Li is capable of killing late-Foundation Establishment cultivators, but he can only run away when encountering Core Formation cultivators.

But the fact that Lin He killed so many Core Formation stage cultivators was simply unbelievable. Compared to this, Han Li was still a little depressed.

Not only Han Li, but Liu Jing and others also had similar feelings.

Soon, a Core Formation cultivator surnamed Huang from Huangfeng Valley came over. He gave Lin He a deep look, then took out the Wind and Cloud Banner and carried everyone back to Huangfeng Valley.
