Steady Mortal Path: Starting from Obtaining the Golden Core Inheritance

Inside the cave at Changchun Peak.

Lin Changsheng met with He Jincheng and his wife.

"Nephew Jincheng, together with his wife Madam Lu, pays his respects to Uncle Lin."

"These are some special medicinal herbs from the Yihan family. Please accept them, Uncle Lin."

He Jincheng bowed respectfully, performing the junior's rites, and presented a storage bag with both hands.

Lu Yihan, standing beside him, also looked like a little bird clinging to him, kneeling and bowing with He Jincheng, her face full of respect.

But he was completely shocked by the white-clad boy in front of him, who looked to be eighteen or nineteen years old.

Uncle Lin looks so young!

She even looks much younger than herself and her husband!

……

During his short stay at Changchun Peak, Lin Changsheng did not meet with him immediately.

The honest and simple-minded He Jincheng didn't think much of it. Instead, he used the rich spiritual energy of the place to strengthen and consolidate his cultivation.

Looking at the magnificent Changchun Peak Dojo, Lu Yihan couldn't help but secretly speculate.

Could it be that this Uncle Lin looks down on his poor relatives who have come from afar and is deliberately leaving the couple hanging?

Until yesterday, a powerful demonic aura suddenly emanated from the cave.

Only then did the two realize that it was actually the second-tier spirit insect raised by Uncle Lin that had broken through its cultivation level!

Uncle Lin himself has been protecting the spirit insects during this time.

Lin Changsheng accepted the storage bag from He Jincheng with a faint smile on his face.

With a gentle sweep of his divine sense, he became intimately familiar with the items within.

In addition to some raw materials used for making talismans, there are also many rare spiritual herbs.

Some of the spiritual herbs even reached the second-tier quality.

Clearly, these items were specially prepared based on Lin Changsheng's identity as a talisman master and physician.

"You two are very thoughtful."

Lin Changsheng smiled warmly, waved his hand, and released a gentle magical force to lift the two of them up.

The maids Qingzhi and Lanhua walked over gracefully, having prepared spiritual tea and wine to entertain the guests.

"Thank you, sisters."

Lu Yihan politely thanked Qingzhi and Lanhua.

I have the utmost respect for you.

He did not treat the two women as ordinary maids.

After spending a few days at the Changchun Peak Dojo, Lu Yihan discovered that the entire dojo only had these two twin maids, and there were no Daoist partners or concubines of Uncle Lin.

She was also a shrewd person. Based on Tian Fu's polite attitude towards the two women, she vaguely guessed that although the two women appeared to be maids, they were very likely to play the role of concubines.

……

Next, Lin Changsheng asked about Xi Dan, the He family, and what had happened to He Jincheng over the years.

At first, He Jincheng was still somewhat reserved.

After all, he had a connection with this Uncle Lin and they had occasionally exchanged letters over the years.

However, when actually facing a Foundation Establishment Master whom one has never met before, a little nervousness is inevitable.

However, Lin Changsheng's easygoing and refined demeanor, completely unlike the airs of other Foundation Establishment cultivators he usually encountered, gradually put He Jincheng at ease.

In recent decades, with his father missing, He Jincheng has been left to shoulder the burden of managing the family affairs, which has left him overwhelmed.

Fortunately, his wife, Lu Yihan, was very clever and became a capable assistant to He Jincheng.

In the past ten years or so, thanks to the talisman-making experience left by Lin Changsheng, He Jincheng mastered the art of talisman making and was able to create first-tier high-quality talismans.

But his best skill, the one that can reliably earn spirit stones, is still the first-tier high-grade magic talisman.

He became the most skilled talisman master in the Xi Danhe family after Tong Fushi left.

However, the Xi Danhe family is now in the hands of He Liangcai, who was Xu Qinghuan's mortal enemy back then.

Although they wouldn't go so far as to take action against Xu Qinghuan's descendants or eliminate dissidents.

However, no resources will be allocated to support it.

Helpless, He Jincheng had no choice but to suspend his talisman business and go out with his wife to seek an opportunity to establish his foundation.

Hearing her husband say this, Lu Yihan blushed slightly and looked embarrassed.

Originally, in order to avoid misunderstanding by Uncle Lin, the couple claimed that they had prepared Foundation Establishment Pills at home. Their current trip to seek Foundation Establishment Spiritual Objects was just an extra layer of insurance, to be prepared for any eventuality.

Now, her husband, with his straightforward personality, has told her the truth, contradicting their previous statements.

"Has there been any news of your father in recent years?"

Lin Changsheng took a sip of the spiritual tea, seemingly unconcerned.

"Father left home years ago and we haven't heard from him since. He once said he would never come back until he reached the Foundation Establishment stage, and he even left a will long ago."

When Xu Qinghuan was mentioned, He Jincheng's eyes revealed longing and worry.

As a son, he knows best what kind of person his father is.

In this life, I was able to advance to the tenth level of Qi Condensation through unorthodox methods, but my potential has been exhausted.

If they leave the Xi Danhe family, they will be no different from ordinary rogue cultivators, and their chances of advancing to the Foundation Establishment stage will be slim.

"It was truly remarkable that your father was able to establish himself in the He family as a low-level rogue cultivator and create such cultivation conditions for your descendants."

Lin Changsheng looked at He Jincheng, who had an honest and simple face, and suddenly sighed.

"Uncle Lin is right. I will definitely cultivate diligently and live up to my father's years of careful nurturing."

He Jincheng nodded seriously and said firmly.

……

"Jincheng, although Thousand Crane Immortal City is prosperous, the situation has been turbulent in recent years, and the prices of various resources that can enhance cultivation have skyrocketed. Foundation Establishment Pills are even more rare and hard to come by. If you can't find them, what will you do?"

Lin Changsheng asked casually.

"Uncle Lin, if we can't find a solution, I'd like to go to the Shangqing Palace in the south to search again. If I still find nothing, I'll have to rely on myself to try and break through to the Foundation Establishment stage..."

He Jincheng sounded somewhat confused.

He was originally confident that as a senior first-tier talisman master, as long as he was willing to put in the effort to go out and search, he would always be able to gain something.

Just like Uncle Lin in front of us, he left the Xi Danhe family when he was in the late stage of Qi Condensation. He settled down in Thousand Crane Immortal City with the skills of a first-level talisman master and achieved Foundation Establishment many years later.

However, as time went on, he discovered that treasures like the Foundation Establishment Pill could not be obtained simply by putting in effort.

My wife and I have been searching for many years, but so far we have found nothing.

Gradually, he lost faith in finding the Foundation Establishment Pill.

“If you don’t mind, you can stay at the Changchun Peak Dojo for a while to gather opportunities for Foundation Establishment. I might be able to help you try.”

“I have a very good relationship with Brother Qinghuan. Now that he is not here, I, as an elder, naturally cannot stand idly by.”

Lin Changsheng suddenly said.

"Uncle Lin is willing to help?!"

He Jincheng was slightly taken aback. His face first lit up with joy, but he seemed to have some concerns.

"Thank you so much, Uncle Lin, for your help. Whether it succeeds or not, my husband and I will always remember your kindness!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yihan's eyes lit up, and she reacted quickly, expressing her gratitude with delight.

Before coming here, Lu Yihan had secretly visited the He family and several people who had been in contact with Lin Changsheng, without her husband's knowledge.

Inquire about Uncle Lin's personality and preferences.

Although she didn't specifically go to ask for help, deep down, Lu Yihan still hoped to get this elder she had never met to lend a hand.

It concerned the important matter of Foundation Establishment. Even though her husband was stubborn and unwilling to squander the friendship between Uncle Lin and her father, Lu Yihan did not care.

If we can persuade Uncle Lin to take action, the chances of a Foundation Establishment cultivator personally planning a Foundation Establishment Pill are not small.

Even if it costs some of the friendship between elders, it's well worth it.

With her husband's aptitude, the probability of him successfully advancing to the Foundation Establishment realm after obtaining the Foundation Establishment Pill is extremely high.

We will make amends and show respect to Uncle Lin in the future.

Even if his father were still alive, given his doting on Jincheng, he would probably personally go to Uncle Lin for help.

"You are a good niece-in-law. It is a blessing for Jincheng to have you by his side."

Lin Changsheng smiled warmly and offered a compliment.

He naturally saw through his niece-in-law's little scheme, but he didn't point it out.

He Jincheng's nephew is kind-hearted and highly perceptive, but he did not inherit any of Xu Qinghuan's personality. He is naive and inexperienced in the ways of the world, and is not suitable for the cultivation world.

Lu Yihan is a clever and far-sighted woman who perfectly complements He Jincheng's shortcomings.

"These are some spiritual items for refining mana, stabilizing your realm, and assisting in Foundation Establishment. Please accept them for now. I will then compile my insights on breaking through to the Foundation Establishment realm and keep an eye out for information on Foundation Establishment Pills on the market."

Lin Changsheng said calmly.

These items were originally entrusted by Xu Qinghuan to be given to Jincheng.

Perhaps Xu Qinghuan had some concerns and was reluctant to reveal herself, so she wanted to use Lin Changsheng's name to give him the pill.

Lin Changsheng naturally did not reveal Xu Qinghuan's existence.

It's just that fathers, even after not seeing their children for many years, still have a deep concern for them.

"A gift from an elder should not be refused. Husband, why don't you quickly thank Uncle Lin?"

"Thank you, Uncle Lin."

At the wife's prompting, the two, with delighted expressions, thanked Lin Changsheng together.

The couple looked at each other, as if a long-standing weight had been lifted from their hearts.

With Uncle Lin willing to help, He Jincheng's chances of advancing to the Foundation Establishment stage have increased even further.
