Chapter 480 - 255: The Fate of Another Profound Celestial Withered Leaf

But there’s no need to take unnecessary risks, after all, the Profound Celestial Spirit Root is already with me.

At worst, I can just spend more time cultivating it; eventually, I’ll cultivate the second, third, or even more.

Moreover, right now, the priority is to enhance the Spirit Root and Golden Core. Only then can I keep up and hopefully reach the Nascent Soul; that is the most crucial goal.

"I’ve memorized this person’s mana aura."

Thinking of this, Lin Chang’an gave the person a subtle glance.

"Mr. Lin, this Gold Attribute Tier Three Middle Grade Demon Core was obtained by my Long Family with great effort back then."

Long Changqing displayed a humble smile, seeming to be a younger member not highly regarded in the Long Family.

Having figured it out, Lin Chang’an looked at the Demon Core and immediately showed a satisfied smile.

The strong man from the Long Family, upon seeing this, also smiled and turned to look at Liu Ruyu and Xu Lingfeng.

After all, Lin Chang’an is now an Honored Guest Elder of the Profound Sound Pavilion, which means some misunderstandings between the Long Family and the Profound Sound Pavilion.

"Mr. Lin!"

Secretly, Liu Ruyu and Xu Lingfeng communicated with Lin Chang’an, and then all three of them smiled and nodded to the Long Family.

The Long Family also smiled, feeling that although losing a Tier Three Middle Grade Demon Core was a bit costly, it was worth it to put the matter behind them.

"Come, come, three fellow Daoists, please."

Then the Long Family hosted a banquet, and for a while, both sides enjoyed pleasant conversations and established several collaborative business dealings.

In addition, the Long Family specially arranged for Long Changqing, this junior member, to respectfully entertain everyone, presenting Long Changqing as if he will be responsible for certain family industries in the future.

It was a good opportunity to learn about the Profound Sound Pavilion.

This aligns with common logic; after all, in a strong family, those with good talent should focus on cultivation, while those with slightly lesser talent should be exposed to family businesses early on, which is reasonable.

Only Lin Chang’an, seeing this scene, sighed to himself about how cautious the Long Family has become.

As for the Demon Core transaction, not a word was mentioned.

And Lin Chang’an also realized it clearly, both sides tacitly understood the matter regarding the Spirit Ship was settled.

Yet, in his heart, he thought: "It’s great that past matters are laughed off, including the Phoenix Cry Bird taking the blame."

It just so happens he still needs the Long Family to draw the attention of the Profound Yin Divine Sect and Li Huo Palace.

A banquet, the Long Family and the Profound Sound Pavilion enjoyed happy conversations.

The banquet dispersed.

Inside the Long Family’s hall, the three Core Formation cultivators sat together, their smiles quickly fading.

"Damn it, when our Long Family was strong, what was he, the Profound Sound Pavilion’s cheap servant!"

"Enough, tumultuous times, what we need to do now is stabilize the current situation and give the family more time."

Ultimately, the three of them looked at Long Changqing, who is now the Long Family’s most hopeful new generation for forming a core.

"Changqing, how are your preparations?"

Long Changqing faced the three elders with a determined look and cupped his hands, saying:

"Changqing will not let the family’s nurturing go to waste; after core formation, I will switch to this Ancient Cultivation Technique."

"Good!"

The three of them exchanged glances and revealed serious expressions.

And as Long Changqing’s eyes grew resolute, he thought of his genius younger brother, feeling a mix of emotions in his heart.

If it weren’t for that genius brother getting into trouble, he wouldn’t have become the first Core Formation Seed.

"Brother, rest assured, the family still has me, and the Long Family will not decline!"

...

Meanwhile, Lin Chang’an, transforming into Escape Light to return, felt quite satisfied.

The resources for the Spirit Supplement Pill have nearly been collected, only missing a Water Attribute Tier Three Middle Grade Demon Core.

Also, on this trip to the Long Family, he unexpectedly discovered another whereabouts of the Profound Celestial Immortal Vine Withered Leaves, so overall, this visit to the Long Family was worthwhile.

"I’ve already memorized this person’s mana aura; given the opportunity, I might be able to acquire this item."

With eyes flickering, Lin Chang’an couldn’t help but think about the current situation, with the Long Family on the decline and watched by many forces.

Having the new generation form a core may not be that easy.
