Steady Mortal Path: Starting from Obtaining the Golden Core Inheritance

"Thank you for troubling Sister Qingzhi again."

At the Changchun Peak Dojo, Lu Yihan smiled and thanked her maid Qingzhi.

The couple then returned to their guest room.

"I never expected Uncle Lin to be so generous. He not only provided a training ground for me to cultivate, but also provided Foundation Establishment Pills, such a highly sought-after Foundation Establishment spiritual item, free of charge."

"Before we came, we were so suspicious of Uncle Lin; that shows a rather narrow-minded perspective."

“Madam, whether or not we can achieve Foundation Establishment in the future, we should both take good care of Uncle Lin.”

He Jincheng's eyes shone with excitement, and then he spoke to his wife with a solemn expression.

"Uncle Lin has already done his best as an elder by helping to collect Foundation Establishment materials and using his connections to have someone refine Foundation Establishment Pills. However, it seems a bit unreasonable for him to give these pills to my husband for free."

The problem of foundation-building resources that had troubled the couple for so long was finally solved. Although Lu Yihan was happy, she had some doubts in her heart.

After getting to know him for a while, she gradually came to understand Uncle Lin. He seemed easygoing and indifferent, but he was a very principled person.

However, his act of giving away the pills for free is clearly not in line with Uncle Lin's usual style.

He couldn't help but recall what Uncle Lin had said when he presented the pills.

"The road is treacherous, and it's too conspicuous for you two to be carrying Foundation Establishment Pills. Focus on your Foundation Establishment here, and then return to the He family. As for your father, don't worry too much. He's always been quick-witted and doesn't seem destined for a short life. I suspect he's facing other opportunities and is currently unable to leave..."

Lu Yihan's expression suddenly changed, and she looked at He Jincheng: "Husband, quickly let me see the cultivation resources that Uncle Lin gave to us along with the pills."

Although he didn't know what the lady was planning, He Jincheng still cooperated and took out the storage bag that Uncle Lin had given him earlier.

"Huh, this is a top-grade first-tier 'breakthrough pill'! If I had obtained it earlier, I wouldn't have been stuck at the ninth level of Qi Condensation for so long back then..."

"A first-grade superior talisman pen. It looks to be of good quality, but unfortunately we bought it several years ago, so it's not very useful to me now."

He Jincheng looked through the contents of the storage bag and said with a simple sigh, "Uncle Lin really put a lot of thought into this. If I, as his nephew, had visited Uncle Lin earlier, these resources would have saved me ten years of detours."

Lu Yihan's eyes flickered, as if she had seen something.

Uncle Lin would never give away such useless things to his nephew, given his usual way of doing things.

Many of the seemingly useless resources here were once essential needs of my husband.

It is clear that these resources were not randomly pieced together, but rather prepared with great care, and the husband's situation was well understood.

"My husband, it seems that Father and Uncle Lin have a good relationship."

Lu Yihan looked relaxed and smiled faintly at He Jincheng.

He Jincheng said honestly, "Of course. If our relationship were just so-so, Uncle Lin would never have supported me like this. Even if I achieve Foundation Establishment in the future, I cannot neglect the connections between Changchun Peak and my elders, lest I feel disheartened."

Lu Yihan smiled gently and said softly, "Yes, it's all up to my husband..."

……

Two months later.

Changchun Peak Dojo sits atop a verdant lake.

A black and white figure kept circling around.

The carp beneath the surface swam leisurely and contentedly.

"Woo-woo!"

"Woo-woo!"

The Snow Demon Wolf stared at the fish swimming below, drool dripping from the corner of its mouth.

Before long, a tremendous amount of demonic power surged within it.

Suddenly, it exhaled a breath of azure cold air, which invaded the entire lake surface.

In the blink of an eye, the once emerald green lake was covered with a thick layer of ice.

"Woo-woo!"

Excitement gleamed in the Snow Demon Wolf's clear black and white eyes!

It leaped onto the ice, raised its forelimbs and gently stepped on it, causing an ice pillar to rise from the lake.

Through the ice, you can still vaguely see the flower carp frozen inside!

The snow wolf's eyes widened, and saliva involuntarily dripped from its mouth.

"You rascal, when you're craving something, you go out hunting yourself instead of thinking about messing with my spirit fish all day long."

At that moment, a calm voice came from behind.

With a gentle, spring-like breeze, the chill on the entire lake gradually dissipated, and the ice thawed.

Startled, the carp plunged back into the water and darted to the bottom of the lake with a 'whoosh'.

"Woo-woo!"

Looking at the refined young man in white before her, the Snow Demon Wolf excitedly swayed its tail from side to side, affectionately rubbing against the young man's trouser leg, displaying a fawning and ingratiating expression.

"I'll let you off this time, but you can't mess with my spirit fish again."

Lin Changsheng looked at the Snow Demon Wolf, who was acting like a spoiled child, and said in an annoyed tone.

He then took out a wooden box, grabbed a handful of charred and burnt pills, and sprinkled them into the water.

A few breaths later, the carp in the water finally surfaced again, ignoring the presence of the snow wolf on the shore, and sucked all the scattered pills into its mouth.

These were all discarded pills produced by Lin Changsheng in his spare time after he tried to refine pills.

There was too much residual erysipelas in it, so it could not be taken.

Lin Changsheng simply picked some of them out and used them as fish food to feed the carp in the lake.

Fish have short intestines, so they only perform basic digestion of various foods before excreting them.

Therefore, using these discarded cinnabar to feed carp is not a waste.

At this moment, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within the Changchun Peak training ground suddenly stirred and gathered above the guest room where He Jincheng was.

"It seems that Jincheng has broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage."

Lin Changsheng felt the pressure of spiritual energy not far away, but his gaze remained calm.

"Woo-woo!"

After being reprimanded by its master, the snow wolf, whose two front paws were rapidly digging for spiritual herbs, sensed something, looked up and howled, then continued to plunder the spiritual field.

……

Soon after, amidst the surging spiritual energy of heaven and earth, a fluctuation of magical power resembling that of a Foundation Establishment cultivator arose.

"It's done!"

Inside the guest room, He Jincheng gradually stopped exercising, and a happy expression appeared on his honest face.

Six months ago, he was still worried about raising resources for foundation building and even felt lost.

But after arriving at Changchun Peak, Uncle Lin, an old friend of my father's, not only provided guidance in terms of experience and high-quality spiritual veins, but also offered the Foundation Establishment Pill, which is something that cultivators in the late stage of Qi Condensation dream of.

Such generous treatment is comparable to that of disciples from major sects.

In addition, his foundation was already quite good, so his advancement to Foundation Establishment was a natural progression.

"Congratulations, my husband, on fulfilling your long-cherished wish and successfully advancing to the Foundation Establishment Realm!"

Lu Yihan offered her congratulations with a smile, genuinely happy for her husband.

"My lady, I owe my success today to your planning over the years. We are husband and wife, and I will certainly seek out opportunities for you to establish your foundation in the future!"

He Jincheng pulled Lu Yihan into his arms, his honest face filled with deep affection.

“Husband, Uncle Lin must have sensed it too. Let’s tell Uncle Lin this news quickly.”

The sudden intimacy made Lu Yihan blush, and she whispered a reminder.

So the two left the room and flew to the main peak.

……

Just then, the sky in the direction of the Wanfeng Mountains suddenly became extremely gloomy.

A chilling aura of spiritual power swept outwards.

On the mountainside, the snow wolf suddenly froze on the spot, and the spirit ginseng it was carrying in its mouth fell to the ground with a 'thud'.

In the lush forest of spirit trees, the Crimson Centipede stirred restlessly, its ferocious head gazing into the depths of the Wanfeng Mountains.

A blue afterimage flew in a panic to the Changchun Peak Dojo, and then revealed its true form, which was a magnificent second-tier Xunfeng Crow!

Xun Fengya's dark, sharp eyes were filled with coldness as he coldly stared at He Jincheng and his wife in front of him.

A powerful aura of demonic energy posed a great threat to He Jincheng, who had just entered the Foundation Establishment stage!

In just a dozen or so breaths, the once cloudless sky became covered with dark clouds, with faint purple thunder rumbling in the distance.

"Could this be... the Nascent Soul Tribulation?"

Inside the cave, Lin Changsheng showed a rare look of shock and subconsciously looked towards the Wanfeng Mountain Range.
