Steady Mortal Path: Starting from Obtaining the Golden Core Inheritance

Having temporarily escaped Wu Fushi's control, Lin Changsheng was in a good mood.

Although he had offended the other party, Lin Changsheng was not afraid of what Wu Fushi would do to him in the future, since Xi Danhe's family would be backing him up.

Although this person is a cultivator at the eighth level of Qi Condensation, he is stingy, petty, narrow-minded, and timid.

He had not violated the other party's fundamental interests, so there was no need for him to offend the Xi Danhe family in order to retaliate against him.

Even though the He family is now in decline, it is not something that a rogue cultivator can easily offend.

……

at night.

Lin Changsheng, who was practicing the "Eternal Spring of Withered Tree" technique, suddenly opened his eyes.

After getting dressed, I quietly left Huanglingfang Market.

Fifty or sixty miles away from the market town, there is an ordinary mountain forest.

It looks ordinary and unremarkable.

But its interior is a completely different world.

According to Xu Qinghuan, this place is a gathering place for independent cultivators.

In these gathering places of independent cultivators, trade transactions are often held.

The rule is to only judge the quality of things, not their origin.

Even items whose origins are unclear and which are difficult to sell in Huanglingfang Market can be sold here.

Within a radius of several hundred miles around Huanglingfang Market, there are five or six such places where independent cultivators exchange ideas.

This gathering place has a relatively good reputation compared to the others.

The owner of the settlement strictly controls the killing and looting activities in the surrounding area.

This is also why Lin Changsheng chose to come here.

I am about to go to the He family to make talismans for worship.

Although he could enjoy a good cultivation environment, his every move as an outsider would be closely watched by the He family.

Before that, he wanted to convert his accumulated resources over the past few years into various resources and increase the means of protection.

Several dozen feet away, Lin Changsheng cast the basic spell 'Spiritual Eye Technique', his eyes shining brightly and full of spirit.

Soon, they discovered some subtle fluctuations of spiritual energy in the forest.

During this time, several figures appeared in the vicinity, walking hurriedly.

Some are lithe and petite; some walk with a steady gait, broad-shouldered and muscular; some move slowly and unsteadily…

These people walked into the forest with practiced ease, took out a token of the same type, and then their figures slowly disappeared.

While Lin Changsheng was silently observing, he suddenly sensed an unfamiliar presence behind him.

"This fellow Daoist looks unfamiliar. Is this your first time here?"

Turning around, I saw a burly man at the sixth level of Qi Condensation behind me, looking scrutinizing me. He seemed to be the manager of this place.

"Indeed, this is my first time here, and I was just worried about not having anyone to introduce me, so I hesitated for a moment."

Before coming, Lin Changsheng specially wore a night suit over his outer clothes.

At the same time, a technique called "disguise and bone shrinking" was found in the memories of "Tian Du Zhenren".

At this moment, Lin Changsheng appears as a middle-aged or elderly man around fifty years old.

If someone familiar with this appearance were to see it, they would be speechless with astonishment.

This middle-aged man was actually Lin Changsheng in disguise, based on his memory of the 'Heavenly Poison Master'.

"I see."

The burly man softened his tone slightly.

"To enter the formation, you need to rent a token, which costs three spirit stones."

"I don't know your name, friend. I'll make a note of it and then issue the token."

Sensing that Lin Changsheng only had the third level of Qi Condensation cultivation, the burly man neither underestimated him nor paid him much attention.

He's over fifty and his cultivation is still stuck at the early stage of Qi Condensation. His life is basically over, so there's no need to worry about him posing a threat to this place.

"My name is Han Erniu, a rogue cultivator."

Lin Changsheng smiled and cupped his hands in greeting, while taking out three spirit stones from his pocket.

"Fellow Daoist Han, this is your restriction token. With this, you are free to enter the formation to trade."

After receiving the spirit stone, the burly man handed over the token.

……

With the token, Lin Changsheng successfully broke through the barrier and entered.

In an instant, the mountains and forests blurred, and a manor suddenly appeared.

The scene before him astonished Lin Changsheng. There were already thirty or forty people gathered there.

Most of these people are at the early or middle stage of Qi Condensation.

About six or seven of them wore cloaks and masks to conceal their identities and create an air of mystery.

Before long, the trade fair officially began.

The process is simple.

First, the local manager presents a list of items, which is then passed around for everyone to read.

The list is diverse, including elixirs, magical artifacts, and some low-level spiritual items.

Each item is marked with a price; if you find something you like, you can buy it first.

Then it was time for the cultivators present to trade freely.

Each person can take turns displaying the items they are selling or exchanging.

Before leaving, if you have enough spirit stones, you can buy the remaining items on the list.

Soon, Lin Changsheng also received a list, which detailed the names of various items.

"The first-grade elixir, the Bigu Pill, can keep you full for ten days with just one pill. It costs five spirit stones per bottle."

"A first-tier Qi Condensation Pill, which can enhance cultivation, is priced at ten spirit stones per pill."

"A low-grade first-tier attack magic weapon, 200 spirit stones each."

"Characters of various attributes..."

"Various raw materials, semi-finished materials..."

It must be said that although the items are not high-end, they can basically meet the needs of cultivators in the early and middle stages of Qi Condensation.

The materials that Lin Changsheng was interested in, such as spirit ink, talisman brushes, and talisman paper, were all readily available.

Looking up and glancing at everyone in the room, I saw that they were all carefully looking at the list, each with a different expression.

Many people have already started registering to buy items on the spot.

Lin Changsheng did not make a move.

He didn't have many spirit stones, so he had to sell the talismans he had saved up in order to buy other things.

There were quite a few people present who were as unmoved as Lin Changsheng, and they were all clearly thinking the same thing.

Not long after, free trade began.

Some people who had been holding back for a long time rushed to speak.

"I recently hunted a nearly intact Tier 1 Grey Boar, and received spirit stones..."

"I have a low-grade first-tier 'Breakthrough Pill,' along with spirit stones or other cultivation-enhancing pills..."

"One serving of nourishing elixir can nourish unborn monster eggs and accelerate their hatching..."

The items these cultivators possessed were all quite ordinary, except for the 'Breakthrough Pill,' which piqued Lin Changsheng's interest.

As the name suggests, the first-tier 'Breakthrough Pill' is effective in helping Qi Condensation cultivators break through bottlenecks.

However, this kind of pill has a drawback: it is only most effective the first time it is taken at the same cultivation level, and the effect is halved the second time, and so on.

Even so, it is still a necessary pill for these Qi Condensation cultivators in the early and middle stages.

There are quite a few people who are eyeing this 'breakthrough pill'.

Upon seeing this, Lin Changsheng abandoned any thought of competing for it.

Soon, it was my turn.

"Han has twenty low-grade Tier 1 spell talismans of various attributes and five mid-grade Tier 1 spell talismans. The quantity is limited, and the price is favorable."

Lin Changsheng glanced at the crowd and spoke calmly.

As soon as he finished speaking, he could clearly feel that many people's eyes were focused on him.

In fact, Lin Changsheng had accumulated more than just these talismans, but if he were to take them all out at once, it would be inconsistent with his cultivation level and would easily arouse envy.

Soon, people took the initiative to come up and talk to him about the price.

A first-tier, low-grade spell talisman, priced at two spirit stones.

A first-tier, mid-grade spell talisman, priced at five spirit stones.

All are slightly below normal market prices.

"I'll take all five mid-grade first-tier spell talismans."

Then, a young man with a scholarly air, holding a folding fan, smiled and said.

"If this fellow Daoist has any other first-tier mid-grade magic talismans, they can be traded together, and the price can be discussed at our discretion."

"I'm sorry, this is all I could get this time. If you need it urgently, I'll bring more next time we trade."

Lin Changsheng responded neither humbly nor arrogantly.

At the same time, they also sensed that the other party had a cultivation level of the fifth level of Qi Condensation.

"Then I'll have to trouble Fellow Daoist Han."

The young scholar said with some disappointment.

Before long, Lin Changsheng had sold all the magic talismans in his hand, which were exchanged for sixty-five spirit stones.
