Steady Mortal Path: Starting from Obtaining the Golden Core Inheritance

Having discovered that the silver beetle was weak against poison, Lin Changsheng changed all his supply methods to poison talismans.

Even the second-tier poisons that he had always kept on his person for self-defense were being used alternately.

In an instant, the area within a hundred feet of the two people was filled with poisonous fog.

Under the toxic gas, the vegetation turned red and withered, the ground was scorched black, and all life was cut off.

As the one who released the poison, Lin Changsheng was naturally prepared and had no fear of the poisonous gas.

For some reason, the man in black robes was also able to resist the poison to a certain extent; the magical energy within his body flickered, clearly indicating that he was resisting the poison.

However, these silver beetles were constantly oscillating between poisoning and recovery, and their vitality was rapidly declining.

Taking advantage of the situation, Lin Changsheng relentlessly pursued the enemy, activating various second-tier spell runes of different attributes one after another, coupled with the tireless bombardment from the puppet 'Four-Unlikes'.

Caught off guard, the man in black was accidentally grazed by the second-tier 'Heavenly Thunder Talisman', and a faint smell of burning emanated from his body.

Even so, he could only drag his heavily injured body and keep dodging the spiritual energy arrows shot out from the crossbow in Lin Changsheng's hand.

"It's a pity that the Crimson Centipede had to guard the 'life seed' of Changchun Peak, otherwise, with the help of this insect, it would have easily killed this person long ago."

Lin Changsheng thought to himself.

"Hehehe, you 'Thousand Insect Old Ghost' always boast about how powerful you are in the Foundation Establishment stage, how come you were humiliated by a mere early Foundation Establishment cultivator today?"

A weak, mocking laugh echoed through the night forest.

Before the words were finished, a light, black figure landed not far from the two of them.

The man was thin and pale, and his weak voice made him seem like someone who was terminally ill.

However, the magical aura emanating from him was extremely solid and profound, even stronger than that of the man in black robes, suggesting that he was not far from reaching the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

The man watched the two fight with a smile, seemingly mocking the man in black robes.

Faced with the sudden change, Lin Changsheng hurriedly recalled the 'Four-Unlikes', and the second-tier Xunfeng Crow also circled overhead, ready to pounce.

His expression was extremely solemn as he looked at the weak man who had suddenly appeared not far away. The man's vaguely familiar appearance shocked Lin Changsheng.

"Liu Zifeng!"

Lin Changsheng was deeply troubled.

This person was none other than the Foundation Establishment cultivator who had concealed his cultivation level and was invited by He Wanying to perform treatment in the secular world when he was serving as a talisman-making master in the Xi Dan He family.

Why is this person here?

"Hehe, what a coincidence. Speaking of which, I haven't properly thanked Master Lin for treating my injuries back then."

Liu Zifeng chuckled softly, his voice low and sinister.

“Hey Liu, this kid is a bit troublesome. He’s not an ordinary early Foundation Establishment cultivator. Quickly join forces with me to kill him.”

The man in black robes standing to the side, his words filled with apprehension towards Lin Changsheng, interrupted him.

"Hehe, Master Lin avoided me back then, which really worried me for a long time. Today, let me repay Master Lin properly."

With a sickly pleasure on his pale face, Liu Zifeng spoke each word carefully.

A powerful aura, tinged with a hint of death, erupted from Liu Zifeng, and a small black pagoda-shaped magical artifact, about an inch tall, appeared in his hand.

With the appearance of the 'black tower', a chilling aura filled the surroundings, forming gusts of cold wind that dispersed the remaining poisonous mist in the air.

'Waaaah...'

Inside that 'small black tower', a series of shrill screams suddenly emanated, as if from the deepest hell, sending chills down one's spine.

Before long, semi-transparent black ghosts flew out and floated above the 'black tower,' and in the blink of an eye, dozens or even hundreds of ghosts gathered.

Each of these Yin spirits possessed an aura no less than that of a late-stage cultivator.

Among them were even a few Yin spirits that had reached the second rank.

"A counterfeit magic weapon!"

Sensing the subtle threat emanating from the 'small black tower' in Liu Zifeng's hand, Lin Changsheng finally couldn't help but be somewhat moved.

On the other side, the black-robed man unleashed his last bit of magical power, channeling it into the bodies of these silver beetles, giving them a final burst of life, and a massive silver cloud of insects gathered once more.

Facing two equally formidable mid-Foundation Establishment cultivators at the same time.

Lin Changsheng dared not hold back and went all out.

A faint green aura of the Everlasting Spring Technique surged within his body, and at the same time, a golden talisman appeared in his hand.

On the talisman paper, there was a cone-shaped object about an inch long.

As a large amount of ever-flowing green energy was continuously poured into it, a sharp, metallic aura rippled out.

Before long, the golden talisman transformed into a diamond ring over two inches long, carrying a sharp and fierce aura.

"A talisman! This kid actually has such a treasure!"

The man in black robes spoke with shock, clearly recognizing the talisman.

At this moment, Lin Changsheng had already pushed the 'Vajra Bracelet' talisman to its limit. Enveloped in an incomparably sharp golden aura, the Vajra Bracelet shot towards the two opposite him!

'Zzzzz'

The evil spirits howled in agony as the golden aura wore them down.

In an instant, a large number of evil spirits and ghosts were affected by the aura of the 'Diamond Bracelet' and perished.

Even the extremely troublesome silver beetle was damaged by the sharp attacks of the Diamond Bracelet.

However, during this process, the golden aura of the Vajra Bracelet itself was also rapidly depleted, and its light gradually dimmed.

Although the Vajra Bracelet is quite powerful, it has not been made for long and has not been nurtured for long. At most, it can only exert a little over 10% of the power of a true magic weapon.

For a time, the three were locked in a stalemate, each testing their limits.

"Master Lin is quite skilled. It seems that he has been doing very well in Thousand Crane Immortal City after advancing to the Foundation Establishment stage. Once we capture Master Lin, we will definitely treat him well as an honored guest and make him our personal talisman maker."

Liu Zifeng gave a sinister smile, his voice weak and sounding exceptionally cruel.

As he said "explode," the 'small black tower' in his hand trembled, releasing a large amount of black mist that continuously nourished the remaining evil spirits.

Lin Changsheng remained silent, urging the Vajra Bracelet Treasure to fight against the two, while glancing sideways at Nangong Qingtan lying on the ground not far away.

The circling crow above sensed something and transformed into a sharp arrow, rushing over, grabbing Nangong Qingtan's delicate body, spreading its wings and flying high, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

During the standoff, Lin Changsheng produced another unassuming talisman in his hand.

He chuckled lightly at the two of them and then tore open the talisman.

"I'll be taking my leave now, please excuse me."

Before he finished speaking, a dazzling white light burst forth from the paper talisman in his hand, and Lin Changsheng, dressed in white, was swallowed up by the white light and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Minor Void-Breaking Talisman!"

Seeing Lin Changsheng suddenly disappear, Liu Zifeng and the man in black exclaimed in surprise at the same time!
