Steady Mortal Path: Starting from Obtaining the Golden Core Inheritance

Gong Family, Herb Garden

Lin Changsheng carefully put away the 'Heavenly Sand Fruit', then used the spirit stones to check again to make sure nothing was missing. He was about to leave gracefully.

Suddenly sensing something, he looked in the direction of the Gong family's territory.

Just now, he faintly sensed a strong fluctuation of magical power.

Immediately following was a muffled clap of thunder.

Lin Changsheng remained calm and showed no surprise.

That third-tier lightning talisman came from his hands.

Although it's only a third-tier low-grade product.

However, it took me more than half a year to finally manage to draw a few third-tier spell symbols.

Lin Changsheng glanced at the tightly closed wooden house, then summoned his flying boat magic artifact and left the Gong family's medicine garden.

At the same time, a slightly weak aura was rapidly approaching the direction of the herb garden.

This speed of flight is far greater than that of an ordinary late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.

"Gong Wanliang was only slightly injured and still retains his fighting strength!"

Lin Changsheng sensed this aura immediately and was surprised.

I originally thought that with Master Wang fighting to the death, plus the help of third-tier magic talismans, we would be able to overcome this challenge.

Even if this patriarch of the Gong family doesn't die on the spot, he will be severely injured.

In retrospect, it is highly likely that Gong Wanliang gained some opportunities during his cooperation with the Nangong family.

Master Wang is old and frail, and his strength is no longer sufficient.

With one advancing and the other retreating, the two were both at the Pseudo-Core stage, but their strengths differed greatly.

Lin Changsheng remained calm and unhurriedly took out a near-third-tier escape talisman from his storage bag and affixed it to the flying boat artifact below.

The flying boat, which had been flying steadily, suddenly accelerated several times, streaking across the sky at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye, leaving a long trail of pale green.

Behind them, Gong Wanliang's breath followed closely, and the two moved at similar speeds.

Lin Changsheng changed direction several times along the way, shaking off Gong Wanliang.

But before long, the latter's aura would reappear behind him, seemingly locking him firmly in place.

Lin Changsheng understood this perfectly.

Gong Wanliang determined that he accurately located himself by tracing the divine consciousness mark on the 'Heavenly Sand Fruit'.

Soon after, the spiritual energy within the escape talisman was exhausted, and the speed of the flying boat magic artifact under Lin Changsheng's feet returned to normal.

The aura behind them quickly drew closer.

"You dare to take advantage of the chaos and rob my Gong family's medicinal herb garden? Today you'll regret this!"

A couple hundred feet behind them, Gong Wanliang, with a gloomy expression, caught up.

At this moment, Gong Wanliang was in a terrible state. His once luxurious clothes were charred black, with tattered strips of fabric fluttering about, making him look like a beggar.

The exposed skin was also charred and dry, and many parts of it still emitted a strong smell of burnt meat.

But his gaze was fixed on the thug in front of him, as if he wanted to devour him alive.

Approaching the formidable enemy, Lin Changsheng remained calm, and another escape talisman appeared in his hand.

"Boy, leave half of what you obtained from the herb garden, and I, this immortal, will let you leave safely!"

Seeing that the thug had produced another escape talisman, Gong Wanliang cursed inwardly, but immediately began to feign advice.

To everyone's surprise, the thug opposite him was not only unmoved by what he said, but instead smiled faintly and threw a second-tier magic talisman behind him!

Several spells came flying at us!

Gong Wanliang gritted his teeth in anger and immediately activated his magic power to summon a protective magic shield to easily deal with the situation.

However, their speed inevitably slowed down, and the thug who used the escape talisman widened the distance again!

"Boy, once I capture you, I will skin you alive and crush your bones!"

The distance that had been painstakingly shortened was widened again.

Gong Wanliang was furious.

He could clearly sense that the wretched brat, whose cultivation was only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, was able to keep escaping by relying on high-level escape talismans.

If I were at my peak, how could I allow my opponent to be so relaxed?

It's all that old guy's fault. Before he died, he somehow managed to get a third-tier lightning talisman.

If he hadn't activated the 'quasi-third-tier' defensive spell in time, which negated most of the damage from the lightning spell, he would probably have been seriously injured at least this time.

Seeing his opponent's figure gradually disappear into the distance, Gong Wanliang had no choice but to suppress his injuries and continue to use his magic power to chase after him.

This chase lasted for a full half-day.

After exhausting another escape talisman, Lin Changsheng began to sense Gong Wanliang's aura behind him.

The latter still refused to give up, but Alma's speed was much slower than it had been half a day earlier.

He is roughly equivalent to a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.

After a battle with fellow cultivator Master Wang, they continued their flight for most of the day without stopping.

Even a pseudo-core cultivator eventually reaches a point of weakness.

Lin Changsheng stopped consuming the escape talisman and maintained his normal escape speed.

In this battle of attrition, the advantages of Changchun Gong are perfectly demonstrated.

The body's magical power recovers quickly and endlessly, requiring very little consumption to maintain flight.

As Gong Wanliang's figure drew closer from behind, Lin Changsheng took out his spirit crossbow and continuously used his magic power to condense arrows to attack.

"Hmph, keep flying. Why don't you use your teleportation talisman anymore?"

Seeing that the other party no longer took out new escape talismans, but instead used magical artifacts to harass him, Gong Wanliang's depressed mood instantly improved a lot.

He knew that the opponent's escape talisman had finally run out!

"Boy, just surrender obediently! Since you like the things in the herb garden so much, I'll grind you to dust and scatter your ashes in the garden as fertilizer later!"

'Whoosh! '

Soon, when the distance between the two closed to fifty or sixty feet.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Gong Wanliang waved his sleeve, and a jet-black iron chain magic weapon flew out from it, accompanied by the sound of metal chains clashing, and shot towards Lin Changsheng's back!

Even from several meters away, you could feel the chill emanating from that sinister black chain!

"A third-tier magic weapon!"

Although Lin Changsheng had his back to Gong Wanliang, he could see and perceive everything behind him.

The black chain artifact was about to get close and bind him completely in the next moment!

Lin Changsheng immediately summoned a gleaming curved sword magic weapon and met the black chain flying from behind head-on.

At the same time, he quickly took out several defensive talismans and activated them, forming a defensive shield around his body.

'Ding! '

'Ding! '

'Ding! '

Behind me came a soft, loud clanging sound of metal clashing.

In just over ten breaths, the second-tier curved blade that Lin Changsheng had summoned had developed several nicks and chips on its blade.

It was a third-tier magic artifact, activated by a pseudo-core cultivator.

Whether it's the quality of the magical artifacts or the power of the magic, it's far beyond what Foundation Establishment cultivators can compare to.

In his haste, Lin Changsheng activated two more magical artifacts.

But they couldn't even last ten breaths before being shot down one after another.

Finally, under Gong Wanliang's control, the black chain artifact, like a delicate black snake, slammed down on Lin Changsheng's protective magic shield.

The defensive talisman in his hand shattered instantly, and the protective magic shield around him crumbled.

Lin Changsheng's figure also fell from the sky due to this impact.

"With such limited skills, it's a shame to waste those escape talismans."

Gong Wanliang stood with his hands behind his back and followed closely behind as he descended from the sky.

For some reason, he felt a sense of disgust looking at the thug in front of him.

He immediately waved his hand to activate the black chain, intending to strangle the opposition to the Party.

Just then, a sudden change occurred!

A sudden, violent gust of wind arose around Gong Wanliang!

"This is...no good!"

Gong Wanliang's expression changed drastically, and he froze in place.
