Steady Mortal Path: Starting from Obtaining the Golden Core Inheritance

Half a month later, beside the main peak of Changchun Peak.

An unusual spiritual energy of heaven and earth gathered here, condensing and not dissipating.

Between the Changchun Peak dojo, several figures gazed into the distance, their expressions varied.

"Xiao Lin, do you see any signs that your master has successfully completed his Foundation Establishment?"

Master Hu's aged face held a complex expression as he gazed at the place where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth converged.

The middle-aged man beside him, Liang Kang, looked somewhat nervous, constantly rubbing his hands together, and remained silent.

"Master has taken a little too long to condense his magical power, and he hasn't completely converted it yet, so the outcome is still uncertain..."

Lin Changsheng explained to Hu Danshi with a calm expression.

He was aware of every blade of grass and every tree on Changchun Peak, and he knew everything about Wu Fushi's progress in breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

Apart from Lin Changsheng, Hu Danshi, Liang Kang, and a few others.

Qingzhi and Lanhua, the two girls, were also watching from the sidelines.

"We've argued all our lives, but I never expected him to finally take this step."

Hu Danshi's expression was complicated, and her tone was filled with envy.

Lin Changsheng glanced at Master Hu, who had aged considerably, and sighed inwardly.

Master Hu was older than Master Wu, and his lifespan was coming to an end. His bodily functions were declining significantly, making him look much older.

The attempt to establish a foundation is futile, with little hope of success.

If he fails to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth will backfire on him, and given his current condition, he might perish on the spot.

In addition, during his years of hard work in Thousand Crane Immortal City, Master Hu's fondness for young girls has not diminished. A few years ago, he had a child with a courtesan in the city, so he took that woman as a concubine.

Having a child late in life, he had something to worry about and was unwilling to gamble on that slim chance.

So he took out his savings accumulated over the years to support his old friend in building his foundation.

Wu Fushi, for many years, has remained aloof and stingy, never getting close to outsiders, fearing that others would scheme to seize his property.

Apart from Liang Kang, who had been by his side since childhood, he had no other close relatives.

With years of savings and recently, through introducing Lin Changsheng to the Fengling Chamber of Commerce, I obtained a Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object.

Besides the Foundation Establishment Pill, he collected almost all the other secondary Foundation Establishment spiritual items.

Before their own vitality completely declines, they are determined to give it their all.

Even before attempting to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, Master Wu had already prepared his will.

If he fails to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, 80% of his remaining assets will go to his old friend, Master Hu, to repay the Foundation Establishment spiritual items he previously provided; the remaining 20% ​​of his assets, as well as the complete first-order talisman-making inheritance, will be left to his disciple Liang Kang as a reward for his years of hard work.

Lin Changsheng frowned slightly as he looked at the spiritual cloud above his head, formed by the convergence of spiritual energy from heaven and earth.

Master Wu had spent too long condensing his magical power, and was somewhat exhausted.

Having experienced this scene, Lin Changsheng knew that the most crucial aspect of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment realm was the process of refining and transforming one's own magical power.

Go all out, the faster the better.

Slow down, and things will change.

Just as Lin Changsheng had predicted.

Half a day later, Master Wu Fu condensed his magical power to the final step.

But the cloud of spiritual energy above their heads showed signs of dissipating.

It was so obvious that, without Lin Changsheng needing to remind them, everyone knew that something had gone wrong during Wu Fushi's promotion process.

For a moment, the hearts of the people present sank.

Master Hu's face darkened, and there was a hint of worry on his face.

Although he was not determined to take that step, he placed his hopes on his longtime friend.

Liang Kang gazed at the dissipating cloud in the sky, his eyes filled with struggle and a hint of inner conflict.

Lin Changsheng's gaze was calm, and his expression was indifferent.

"Master, calm your mind and focus all your energy on refining your mana into a mist-like form. If you succeed in this step, the Foundation Establishment realm will be within reach. If you fail, all the Foundation Establishment resources you've painstakingly accumulated over the years will be wasted..."

Just as the spiritual clouds in the sky were about to dissipate, Lin Changsheng's calm voice echoed through the Changchun Peak mountain range.

These words were spoken in less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

The spiritual clouds above everyone's heads showed signs of solidifying again.

Before long, an astonishing aura suddenly burst forth, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth that had been gathering for a long time seemed to have an outlet, and was continuously drawn into Changchun Peak in a vortex.

"Foundation Establishment Realm, achieved!"

A unique pressure belonging to a Foundation Establishment cultivator spread out in all directions.

Seeing this, Lin Changsheng felt gratified.

Unexpectedly, Wu Fushi reversed the tide at the last moment and was able to successfully establish his foundation.

The probability of this happening is almost one in a hundred.

"Hahahaha... I never thought I, Old Wu, would have this day!"

Wu Fushi emerged from seclusion and appeared before the crowd.

At first glance, Wu Fushi, who originally looked like a middle-aged or elderly man in his fifties, now looked radiant and in his prime, just like when he first met Lin Changsheng.

As he spoke, Wu Fushi continued to emanate a powerful aura of magic, making Hu Danshi, Liang Kang, Qingzhi, and Lan Hua extremely uncomfortable.

This is because he has just advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage, and his control over his own magical power is insufficient; he cannot yet control his aura freely.

A gentle, ever-flowing aura immediately emanated from Lin Changsheng's body, dissolving Wu Fushi's aura.

Everyone's expressions returned to normal.

"Congratulations, Master, on your advancement to Foundation Establishment."

Lin Changsheng offered his congratulations with a faint smile.

Beside him, Master Hu Dan was suddenly overcome with tears.

Liang Kang looked astonished, his expression somewhat unnatural.

"Thank you all for this."

Master Wu took a deep breath and earnestly thanked Lin Changsheng and Master Hu.

Recalling the hardships and dangers he faced during his foundation-building phase, Master Wu couldn't help but show a hint of lingering fear on his face.

I thought I was well prepared, but when I actually started building my foundation, I realized how difficult this step was, almost to the point of despair.

Unexpectedly, just as he was about to fail, Lin Changsheng's voice seemed to possess a mysterious magic, and by sheer coincidence, it squeezed out his own potential, ultimately allowing him to successfully establish his foundation.

……

After successfully establishing his foundation, Wu Fushi stayed at Changchun Peak for a while to consolidate his magical power.

During this time, in addition to consolidating his cultivation level, Master Wu also inquired about renting a training ground from Lin Changsheng.

For Master Wu, this advancement to Foundation Establishment was like a dream come true.

Before this, he had never imagined that one day he would have his own cultivation ground.

Upon learning from Lin Changsheng about the exorbitant price of renting the dojo, Master Wu was immediately taken aback.

At this point, Lin Changsheng suggested that Wu Fushi join a faction.

In this way, not only will the problem of the cultivation site be solved, but one may also obtain a second-tier talisman-making inheritance.

"Second-tier rune-making inheritance..."

Wu Fushi looked at Lin Changsheng, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.

Lin Changsheng smiled and ignored it, appearing completely unperturbed.

"Hmph, there's no need for Fellow Daoist Lin to trouble himself with that."

Wu Fushi's mustache twitched slightly as he spoke in an annoyed tone.

Then, as if remembering something, he added, "I'm going to hold a small celebration for my Foundation Establishment in a month. I'll have Xiao Liang send out the invitations later."
