Steady Mortal Path: Starting from Obtaining the Golden Core Inheritance

in the house.

Lin Changsheng sat cross-legged in meditation, without practicing his internal energy.

Instead, he closed his eyes to rest, immersing his consciousness in the life memories of 'Heavenly Poison Master'.

For Lin Changsheng, the memories of a Nascent Soul stage cultivator spanning over four hundred years were a precious treasure.

It includes not only the various martial arts techniques and secret skills, but also the experience in talisman making.

More importantly, it's about the experience and insights gained from spiritual practice.

After several months, Lin Changsheng had a clear and vivid understanding of the process and experience of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Referencing the experience of 'Tian Du Zhenren' attempting to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage back then.

Benchmark against your own past performance and identify areas for improvement.

Each time he circulated his cultivation technique, the magical energy within his body, which was approaching perfection, showed faint signs of merging.

Deep within his consciousness, the words "Heaven rewards diligence" faintly emitted a strange luster, making Lin Changsheng's magical power increasingly solid.

Lin Changsheng had a vague feeling.

Even without using Foundation Establishment Pills, with his almost flawless foundation, the probability of successfully establishing his foundation is over 50%!

Furthermore, the probability of such success will slowly increase with diligent practice and the passage of time.

[Heaven rewards diligence] Talent seems to optimize one's magical power and cultivation aptitude invisibly.

……

Time flies, and life is fleeting.

In the Wanfeng Mountains, a young man in white robes landed on a low hilltop.

In front of him was a second-tier demonic python that had recently died.

Lin Changsheng waved his hand, sending out a stream of emerald green magic power that enveloped a demon core, which fell into his hand.

A black and white figure pounced on the remaining part of the serpent's body.

The Snow Demon Wolf cubs from back then, under Lin Changsheng's care, have successfully grown to the early stage of the first tier.

At the same time, another dark figure descended from the sky; it was a mutated raven at the late stage of the first tier.

Now, this mutated jackdaw is gradually growing pale blue feathers starting from the top of its head, which is very similar to the 'Wind Crow' in Lin Changsheng's memory.

Before long, crimson demonic power surged from the ground, and the enormous figure of the Crimson Centipede leaped out, swaggering over to snatch the corpse of the demonic python and devour it.

The snow wolf and the mutated crow were instantly alarmed, immediately abandoning their meal and fleeing in panic.

Both the mutated crow and the snow wolf showed great fear when faced with the ferocious insect, the Crimson Centipede.

That year, Lin Changsheng turned sixty.

For the past six months or so, he has spent almost all of his time in the Wanfeng Mountains.

During this period, Lin Changsheng's body refinement realm broke through to the peak of the first level.

The Wanfeng Mountains are rich in wood-attribute energy, which is more in line with his wood-attribute cultivation techniques.

Being there brought him joy.

Gain experience and insights from the memories of 'Tian Du Zhenren'.

Training in the Wanfeng Mountains.

By practicing what they preach, they perfectly stabilized their own realm and magical power.

The unity of knowledge and action.

Lin Changsheng's energy and spirit reached an unprecedented peak.

At this point, Lin Changsheng collected the demonic insect spirit pets and urged the willow leaf shuttle to leave the Wanfeng Mountains.

……

He has entered seclusion again.

Lin Changsheng circulated his internal energy.

The magical power within the body is showing signs of gradually changing from a gaseous state to a misty state.

It is very viscous.

At the tenth level of Qi Condensation, a cultivator's own magical power is already sufficient, and they cannot advance any further.

To break through to the Foundation Establishment realm, one must essentially gather the body's magical power in the dantian.

Compression, purification, and condensation into wisps of mist are considered to have met the standards for Foundation Establishment.

Improve the quality of your magical power, thereby enabling your body to contain more spiritual energy from heaven and earth.

However, the process of compressing and purifying magical power is the ultimate test of a cultivator's affinity with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

That is, spiritual root aptitude.

For those with poor aptitude, the condensation process is much more difficult and less efficient.

The function of Foundation Building Pills and Cleansing Pills, these kinds of spiritual items for Foundation Building, is to provide assistance in the process of condensing magical power.

This is why Foundation Establishment spiritual items are so sought after among Qi Condensation cultivators.

Lin Changsheng swallowed a Foundation Building Pill, and a powerful medicinal force spread through his abdomen.

He closed his eyes and focused all his energy on circulating the "Eternal Spring of Withered Trees" technique, continuously refining the magical power within his body and transforming it into a misty state.

……

a few days later.

A slight disturbance suddenly appeared in the sky above the No. 6 courtyard of Class A.

For some unknown reason, the rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth around them became extremely joyful, slowly gathering together to form a visible, misty ocean of spiritual energy.

Those who rent small courtyards of Grade A nearby are mostly Qi Condensation Peak cultivators who are trying to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

They are extremely sensitive to abnormal changes in the spiritual energy of the surrounding world.

They all went out and headed towards the place where spiritual energy gathered.

"This level of spiritual energy fluctuation suggests that some fellow cultivator is attempting to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage!"

"Indeed, the ability to attract the gathering of spiritual energy from heaven and earth means that it has most likely successfully passed the stage of condensing magical power."

"It seems that it won't be long before Thousand Crane Immortal City gains a new Foundation Establishment cultivator."

Before long, nearby cultivators gathered outside Courtyard No. 6, Grade A, and watched from a distance.

Tian Fu, Li Suxin, and Su Qin were waiting outside the courtyard early in the morning.

The three people had different expressions on their faces.

Anticipation, worry, curiosity…

"Master, how is Uncle Lin's progress in Foundation Establishment? Is it likely to be successful?"

Su Qin looked around for a moment, then muttered to himself.

With his level of cultivation, he could only sense the changes in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but he did not know the specific situation of Lin Changsheng.

"It's almost over. The most difficult part of condensing mana has been over. Now all you need to do is keep your mind stable and not be disturbed by inner demons. Foundation Establishment will be successful."

An old voice came to my ear.

The people nearby ignored him, and only Su Qin could hear it.

"Uncle Lin has always been calm and composed, so his Foundation Establishment should be secure."

A hint of longing appeared on Su Qin's resolute face.

"Strange, this person's cultivation method is quite interesting. Although he is over sixty years old, he is still full of vitality, like a man in his prime, with no signs of decline. His foundation is very solid, unlike the mainstream methods in the current cultivation world, but rather has the style of ancient times."

In my mind, I heard an old voice talking to itself.

"Ancient traditions? Could it be that Uncle Lin has obtained a legacy from an ancient cultivator?"

Su Qin looked astonished.

"Hehe, ancient traditions may not be suitable for today's mainstream. As time goes by, various cultivation techniques and secret arts in the cultivation world are constantly being improved and new skills are constantly being introduced. With the changing times, most of the ancient traditions have been eliminated. Even if this little talisman master is lucky enough to enter the Foundation Establishment stage, he will most likely stop at the early stage of Foundation Establishment in his lifetime."

The aged voice spoke with certainty and composure.

……

Half a day later.

The spiritual energy above the courtyard was gradually absorbed away.

The fluctuations in spiritual energy are returning to normal.

Suddenly, a powerful spiritual pressure rose into the air.

A gap slowly appeared in the thick clouds in the sky.

A beam of light, shimmering with a faint seven-colored glow, shone down from the clouds.

In an instant, the white cloud, illuminated by the seven-colored glow, transformed into a cluster of auspicious seven-colored clouds.

"This...could it be the legendary...foundation-building glow?"

In Su Qin's mind, the aged voice carried a rare hint of surprise.

"Master, what is the Foundation Establishment Glow?"

Su Qin looked puzzled.

"Legend has it that in ancient times, some ascetic practitioners pursued the perfect foundation of the Dao. Once this method is successful, it will cause strange phenomena in the heavens and earth within a radius of ten miles, and even auspicious signs such as the glow of the foundation-building clouds."

"From then on, both his magical power and combat strength far surpassed those of ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators. Although this little talisman master was not as exaggerated as the records described, he was able to trigger such a scene, so he must indeed be extraordinary."

"In that case, you should continue to find a way to stay by this little talisman master's side. When chaos breaks out, you will be able to get some protection."

The voice in my mind gradually faded away.

……

inside the house.

As Lin Changsheng sat cross-legged in meditation, an invisible surge of magical power coursed through his body.

His white clothes moved and rustled even without wind.

The next moment, Lin Changsheng suddenly opened his eyes.

A vibrant green light burst forth from his eyes, which gradually faded after a dozen breaths.

"Finally, I've successfully established my foundation..."

Lin Changsheng's face lit up with joy.

He felt the wisp of misty magic within his body, which, though much smaller, was now more powerful, durable, and full of vitality.

Lin Changsheng seemed to have an urge to let out a long howl to vent his emotions.

This is a kind of physical and mental pleasure brought about by the advancement of life levels.

Even with Lin Changsheng's detached state of mind, he couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.
