Steady Mortal Path: Starting from Obtaining the Golden Core Inheritance

For the next few days, He Jincheng and his wife stayed at Changchun Peak.

Perhaps influenced by his father, He Jincheng held Lin Changsheng in high esteem.

He reported his talisman-making skills and current cultivation progress to Uncle Lin without reservation.

In terms of cultivation, although the two practiced different methods, Lin Changsheng's experience and knowledge far surpassed that of ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators, making him more than capable of guiding He Jincheng.

Especially in the art of talisman making, even a few words of guidance can greatly benefit He Jincheng.

Within just a few months, He Jincheng filled in the gaps in his knowledge and skills, and his cultivation level reached perfection.

His talisman-making skills have also made great strides, and many problems that had troubled him for years were easily solved with just a few words from Lin Changsheng.

Overjoyed, He Jincheng felt even more respectful towards Uncle Lin, who looked like a gentle young man.

He suddenly remembered that, according to family rumors, Uncle Lin was ostracized by Tong Fushi, who was more skilled, and had to leave the He family.

But now it seems that the truth may not be so.

Throughout the entire Changchun Peak training grounds, he saw only two second-tier demonic beasts.

A giant centipede that has lived by the lake for many years.

A somewhat unruly wolf.

It can be said that these two second-tier demonic beasts alone are enough to nearly destroy the Xi Danhe family.

It's hard to imagine that Uncle Lin left the He family alone back then, and in just a few decades, he has become a force no less powerful than the Xi Dan He family.

……

Unlike He Jincheng, who spent his days burying himself in cultivation and talisman making.

His wife, Lu Yihan, helped the two maids, Qingzhi and Lanhua, with some of the miscellaneous tasks on Changchun Peak.

With Lu Yihan's deliberate efforts to befriend them, she quickly became close with the two maids and they addressed each other as sisters.

After getting acquainted with the area for a few days, Lu Yihan came up with an idea and reorganized the spiritual fields of Changchun Peak, as well as various precious spiritual plants.

The layout is more orderly and rational, making the overall scenery of Changchun Peak more pleasant.

Lu Yihan even offered many suggestions on the business matters that Tian Fu usually handled, saving some unnecessary and cumbersome procedures, simplifying accounts, and saving time and effort.

Such efficiency left even Tian Fu in awe.

He even told Lin Changsheng on several occasions that Jin Cheng had married a good wife.

Lin Changsheng smiled calmly and didn't say anything more.

Tian Fu had followed him since childhood and was deeply trusted not because of his outstanding abilities, but because of his loyalty.

When something happens, his first instinct is almost always to think of Uncle Lin.

Even though Tian Fu had some minor flaws, such as liking to frequent brothels or using the Crimson Centipede to intimidate others, he never caused Changchun Peak any trouble.

After spending many years together, the uncle and nephew developed a deep bond.

Therefore, Tian Fu was not worried at all that his position at Changchun Peak would be shaken.

Lin Changsheng would not replace Tian Fu in his position simply because someone else is more capable.

……

During this period, Lin Changsheng went out several times, personally visiting various chambers of commerce in Thousand Crane Immortal City to collect materials for refining Foundation Establishment Pills.

Even with Lin Changsheng's status as a second-tier talisman master, he could only gather some common materials.

Finding a Primordial Spirit Ginseng, the main ingredient for refining Foundation Establishment Pills, in a short period of time would be quite difficult.

If this had happened twenty years ago, when the situation in Thousand Crane Immortal City was stable, there might have been some chance.

But nowadays, all the major powers are eager to use all the Foundation Establishment spiritual items they have accumulated to cultivate and develop their own forces.

Although Lin Changsheng was a second-tier talisman master, he was also a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator.

However, instead of using precious Foundation Establishment resources to befriend any faction, it would be more worthwhile to cultivate Foundation Establishment cultivators for one's own faction rather than refusing to settle in any other faction for so long.

For this reason, Lin Changsheng made several special trips.

Not long after returning, he went to visit Ma Changqing, the alchemist who had refined the breakthrough pills for his demon beasts back then.

……

"I heard a while ago that Master Lin was looking for a Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object for his nephew, and I didn't expect that Master Lin would actually find it."

Ma Changqing looked at the materials Lin Changsheng had brought and was greatly surprised.

In recent years, Foundation Establishment Spiritual Objects have become extremely rare.

As an alchemist, he hadn't had anyone come to him for years to refine Foundation Establishment Pills.

Unexpectedly, Lin Changsheng was able to produce the Hunyuan Spirit Ginseng!

"I was entrusted by my father back then, otherwise I wouldn't have rushed to this market and spent so much money to collect these Foundation Establishment spiritual items."

Lin Changsheng feigned a pained expression and said with a wry smile.

In fact, these Hunyuan Lingshen were all obtained from the Gong family's medicinal garden in Qingshanfang Market back then.

However, due to the scarcity of Foundation Establishment spiritual items in recent years, and since Lin Changsheng did not have an urgent need for them, he kept them in his possession.

Now, taking advantage of He Jincheng's situation, they pretended to go out to purchase the goods.

Anyway, once Jincheng reaches Foundation Establishment, outsiders won't know how many Foundation Establishment Pills he'll consume.

Even if someone comes to your door wanting to buy it, you can use this as an excuse to refuse.

To avoid some unnecessary trouble.

After a brief conversation and reminiscing, the two began to discuss the matter of alchemy.

The two had collaborated many years ago, and Master Ma Dan was introduced by Master Hu Dan.

Although the latter is no longer with us, it does not affect the trust between the two.

After the contract was formally signed, Ma Changqing entered the preparation stage.

Lin Changsheng stayed overnight at the Daoist temple, waiting for the Foundation Establishment Pill to be refined.

This time, Lin Changsheng clearly felt that Ma Danshi's skills had improved.

Just seven or eight days later, three perfectly round, genuine Foundation Building Pills, emitting a delicate fragrance, were handed to Lin Changsheng.

"Thank you for your trouble, Master Ma."

After Lin Changsheng checked and found nothing wrong, he looked satisfied and casually handed over a bulging storage bag.

This was the agreed-upon payment for the two of them.

"Master Lin, I have a favor to ask. If there are any surplus of these three Foundation Establishment Pills, and Master Lin intends to sell them, please send someone to inform me in advance."

Before leaving, Ma Changqing specifically spoke to Lin Changsheng.

“Alright, if my nephew Lin can successfully establish his foundation and has some left over, I will definitely inform Master Ma Dan first.”

Lin Changsheng thought for a moment and agreed.
