Steady Mortal Path: Starting from Obtaining the Golden Core Inheritance

Since he didn't have a storage bag, Lin Changsheng simply hung a small cloth bag of spirit stones on his waist; it was quite heavy.

Free trade continues.

It must be said that these low-level Qi Condensation cultivators were quite pathetic.

Except for a very few individuals, it is rare for a single transaction to exceed fifty spirit stones.

"It seems that the most valuable thing in this transaction is that Breakthrough Pill."

Lin Changsheng thought to himself.

Then he quietly became an observer, showing no intention of intervening again.

More than half an hour later, the trade fair was almost over. Lin Changsheng went to the management office and, according to the items on the list, reported some of the materials needed to make talismans.

A first-grade low-level talisman brush, along with some spirit ink and talisman paper.

It cost a total of fifty spirit stones.

Lin Changsheng felt a pang of sympathy.

The spirit stones I had just received hadn't even been warmed up before most of them dissipated.

However, as he mastered the talisman-making techniques from the memories of "True Poison Master Tiandu", he was able to integrate them into his understanding.

The discarded talisman brushes that Master Wu had left were no longer sufficient for Lin Changsheng's needs.

He urgently needs to replace his talisman brush with better materials in order to create some special talismans.

The transaction is complete, and the purpose of this trip has been achieved.

Lin Changsheng was about to leave early when he suddenly saw a young man selling items and his heart skipped a beat.

If I remember correctly, this person seemed to have a nutrient-rich liquid in his hand to nourish beast eggs and insect larvae.

Thinking of the 'Crimson Centipede Eggs' he had obtained from Zhang Xiucai, Lin Changsheng stepped forward to inquire about the price.

The young man was initially disappointed, thinking he would leave empty-handed.

When someone came up to ask the price, his face lit up with joy.

After some haggling, the transaction was completed for twenty spirit stones.

"Fellow Daoist, please go back and try it. If my nourishing elixir is useless, you can come to me at the next trade fair to get your spirit stones back."

The young man happily put away the spirit stones and made a confident promise.

……

As the transaction neared its end, people gradually left.

Lin Changsheng quickly left the place, trying his best not to travel with other people along the way.

After running for two or three miles, he took out a 'lightness talisman' and stuck it on his leg.

It was as light as a wisp of smoke in an instant.

With a light touch of his toes, his figure transformed into a black shadow and appeared more than ten feet away.

In a few leaps, they disappeared into the mountains and forests.

Before long, a young man with a scholarly air suddenly appeared in the place.

"The speed suddenly increased, did it detect me?"

The bookish young man looked surprised, then made a hand seal, his movements becoming even faster.

They chased after the direction in which Lin Changsheng disappeared.

Before long, the young scholar holding a folding fan arrived at a dense forest.

"Fellow Daoist Han, there is no need to panic. I have important matters to discuss with you. Please show yourself."

"I have some knowledge of tracking techniques and know that you are hiding here. I assure you that I have no ill intentions."

The sound echoed through the woods, but the surroundings remained quiet. The young scholar's eyes gleamed as he carefully surveyed his surroundings.

"You followed me here without cause. Are you unaware that this violates the rules of free trade?"

A cold snort came from behind a thick tree trunk.

Lin Changsheng emerged from behind the tree trunk, his face grim.

His eyes held a hint of wariness.

"My name is Han Qingshan. I urgently need mid-grade first-tier talismans. Today, I saw that Fellow Daoist Han not only possesses a large number of talismans but has also purchased talisman-making materials. In my haste, I stopped you..."

"If Fellow Daoist Han has any extra mid-grade first-tier spell talismans, Qingshan is willing to purchase them at a high price. The spell talismans from the previous transaction can also be used to make up the price difference for Fellow Daoist."

Seemingly afraid that Lin Changsheng would misunderstand, the young scholar quickly spoke up to explain.

"Is it expensive...?"

"To be honest, Fellow Daoist Qingshan, I still have some mid-grade first-tier magic talismans. I wonder how you wish to acquire them?"

"If the price is right, considering we both share the same surname, Han, it wouldn't hurt to concede a little."

Lin Changsheng seemed tempted by the price, and his words showed some hesitation.

The wariness in his eyes disappeared, and he reached into his robes and rummaged around.

While rummaging through his clothes, he leaped down from the tree trunk, seemingly completely unprepared.

"Fellow Daoist, you really do have more goods!"

"One first-grade mid-level spell talisman costs seven spirit stones. I will also pay you ten spirit stones to make up for the difference between the five spell talismans I bought from you earlier."

Upon seeing this, the young scholar's face lit up with delight, and he couldn't help but step forward, speaking in a hearty tone.

He reached out and touched the small cloth bag hanging at his waist.

At this moment, the two were less than a few feet apart, and their eyes looked at each other at the same time!

'call out! ’

Lin Changsheng suddenly reached into his robes and pulled out an inconspicuous gray paper talisman, which flew out with the force of the movement!

As a small amount of magical power was transferred in, a dark light shone on the surface of the paper talisman.

It made a muffled 'thud' sound.

In an instant, a cloud of gray mist erupted, enveloping the scholar Han Qingshan!

At the same time, a flash of silver light appeared on the storage bag at Han Qingshan's waist.

A gleaming silver gear-shaped wheel flew out from it.

The light shone brightly, and the aura was sharp and intimidating!

"You surnamed Han, you ambushed me!"

"Aaaaaah... What kind of spell is this?!"

The silver, serrated flywheel had just been unleashed, but it hadn't been activated yet.

A hissing sound came from within the gray fog.

Immediately following was Han Qingshan's heart-wrenching screams, which continued unabated.

The silver flywheel also lost its momentum and fell to the ground with a 'thud,' embedding itself in the soil.

The screams continued for about ten breaths before gradually fading away.

Lin Changsheng's attention was focused on the silver flywheel not far away.

"A mid-grade first-tier magic weapon!"

"Good heavens, he really is a Tribulation Cultivator!"

'Luckily, I struck first with a sneak attack, otherwise it would have been quite troublesome.'

Lin Changsheng was glad he had predicted it.

Who would be a kind soul to follow you around after a transaction is completed?

After a short while, like drinking a cup of tea.

As the gray fog dissipated, Lin Changsheng saw Han Qingshan's miserable state.

The person was completely corroded by the poisonous fog, leaving only a pool of flesh and blood, and most of the bones inside the body had melted away, making them completely unrecognizable as human.

"Tsk tsk, this Bone-Corroding Talisman is truly powerful. Without any defense, even a mid-stage Qi Condensation cultivator would be completely powerless to resist."

Lin Changsheng approached, carefully picked up the silver flying wheel, and then conjured a ball of water to rinse the small cloth bag at the other person's waist.

Before he got into cultivation, Lin Changsheng had killed many bandits and wild beasts on his way to Huangling Market.

Therefore, killing a cultivator at the fifth level of Qi Condensation was not a problem for him.

After collecting his spoils, Lin Changsheng casually activated a small flame, burning away all traces at the scene.

More than ten miles away from the scene of the incident.

Lin Changsheng took out a 'Concealing Breath Talisman' and stuck it on his body.

He crouched down and hid in the bushes, then opened the small cloth bag to check.

Storage bags are unique storage treasures for cultivators, and even the cheapest one is equivalent to the price of a magic artifact.

Han Qingshan's storage bag was of low quality, contained few items, and lacked any security measures such as restrictions.

Besides some commonly used clothes, there were only seven first-grade mid-level magic talismans, twelve or thirteen low-grade magic talismans, more than ten spirit stones, and two books on cultivation techniques and spells.

"This guy is really poor, no wonder he has to become a traitor."

Looking at the few items in the storage bag, Lin Changsheng sighed in disappointment.

He then took out the brand-new silver flying wheel magic artifact.
