Steady Mortal Path: Starting from Obtaining the Golden Core Inheritance

a few days later.

Suddenly, a burst of demonic power erupted from the courtyard where Lin Changsheng was.

In an instant, birds and insects scattered within a radius of a hundred feet.

This demonic power came and went quickly.

Lin Changsheng, who was cultivating, was startled by this sudden surge of demonic power.

Then, as if he had just thought of something, a look of joy appeared on his face.

The next moment, a figure dressed in white appeared in the courtyard.

Lin Changsheng lightly touched the ground with his toes.

A few breaths later, a crimson figure burst forth from the ground, its speed so great that it almost became a blur.

In an instant, he appeared in front of Lin Changsheng.

It was a 'Crimson Centipede' that was over five feet long!

Unlike usual, this time the Crimson Centipede did not beg for food at Lin Changsheng's feet.

Instead, it kept a distance of more than ten feet from its master, hesitating to move forward.

His demonic aura was unmistakable, and he was not much weaker than Lin Changsheng, a cultivator at the fifth level of Qi Condensation.

Clearly, after fully digesting the 'green plum fruit', the Crimson Centipede successfully grew to the middle grade of the first rank, equivalent to the mid-stage of Qi Condensation for a human cultivator.

As its strength and size increased, the ferocious insect's intelligence also increased significantly, making it somewhat resistant to its master's summons.

"Uncle Lin, how did this centipede grow so big!"

Hearing the commotion, the little girl He Yun came to the courtyard and was frightened when she saw the Crimson Centipede, which was already taller than her.

"Don't worry, just step outside the courtyard and don't let anyone in to disturb you unless you give the order."

Lin Changsheng offered gentle words of comfort, and then gave instructions.

After He Yun left the courtyard, he took out a blood-red 'Spirit Feeding Pill' and placed it in his hand.

This feed contains many food-attracting ingredients, making it extremely tempting to the insects.

It can also stimulate the spirit insect to overdraw its talent, thus accelerating its growth to some extent.

This is also an important reason why the Red-crowned Centipede has been able to grow to this size in just a few years.

Upon smelling the 'Spirit Feeding Pill', the Crimson Centipede hesitated noticeably, wanting to go forward and ask for it as usual.

But it always remained wary of its former owner.

Upon seeing this, Lin Changsheng immediately threw the 'Spirit Feeding Pill' on the ground.

Seeing this, the Crimson Centipede no longer hesitated and instantly darted out to swallow the red pill in one gulp.

Then, as usual, it planned to burrow underground.

But at that moment, a magical talisman in Lin Changsheng's hand was instantly activated.

Suddenly, several sharp spikes formed from the soil protruded from the flat ground, sending the Crimson Centipede flying into the air.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Changsheng activated another spell talisman in his hand.

Dozens of slender green vines suddenly sprouted from the ground in the courtyard, tightly binding the Crimson Centipede like flexible tentacles.

No matter how much the Crimson Centipede struggled, it was to no avail.

Even if a few vines break off, many more will quickly grow back.

This type of red centipede is venomous, likes to burrow underground, and excels at surprise attacks.

Now that we're trapped, we're not much of a threat.

Then, Lin Changsheng, who was already prepared, took out a white jade tablet.

He forced a drop of blood from his fingertip onto the jade tablet, then channeled his pure magical power into it.

With the blessing of magic, the blood gradually seeped into it, adding a few streaks of blood red to the originally pure white jade pendant.

As Lin Changsheng continued to cast spells, the jade tablet in front of him flew out of his hand and hovered in the air, constantly moving closer to the Crimson Centipede.

The ferocious insect seemed to sense something, becoming extremely uneasy and struggling frantically.

There were faint signs that it was breaking free from the green vines.

Lin Changsheng frowned when he saw that the insect was not behaving properly.

He immediately tapped the storage bag lightly, and a silver light shot out!

It was clearly a 'silver wheel magic artifact' of extraordinary quality!

Then, Lin Changsheng made a hand seal and unceremoniously activated his magic weapon to strike the top of the Crimson Centipede's head.

With a muffled thud, the Crimson Centipede was knocked unconscious.

The next moment, the jade pendant was placed on the head of the Crimson Centipede, and its blood-red light shone brightly...

A short while later, Lin Changsheng withdrew his magic seal.

He waved and put the jade pendant back into his hand.

Upon closer inspection, a small, lifelike centipede sculpture had appeared on the originally white and reddish jade plaque.

This is precisely the "Spirit Binding Technique," a forced spirit control method from the Nangong family.

In the future, this token will allow you to control the actions of the Crimson Centipede.

Whether it's the 'Spirit-Feeding Pill' that induces the birth of demonic beasts, or this method of forcibly controlling spirits, both will affect the potential of demonic beasts.

However, this Crimson Centipede already lacked potential, and Lin Changsheng didn't expect it to grow into a second-tier demon beast, so he naturally didn't need to worry about overdrawing its potential.

……

In the days that followed, Lin Changsheng, who never participated in the affairs of the He family, went to Elder He Zhizhou and took on the task of taking care of the bull demon.

Elder He believed that Lin Changsheng was collecting the blood of the bull demon to refine spiritual ink.

He also specifically reminded the bull demon that it had a deep bond with the ancestor and that it should not be intentionally harmed.

Lin Changsheng naturally complied with this.

Every few days, I would prepare some fresh tender grass shoots, mix them with some spirit rice, grind them up, and feed them to the bull demon.

Every two weeks, they can also receive a 'Rejuvenation Talisman' from Elder He to alleviate the bull demon's injuries.

During this time, Lin Changsheng also tried and was surprised to find that by using the magic power of his "Evergreen Tree Technique" to transfer into the bull demon's body, he could actually alleviate the injuries slightly.

Its ever-flowing magical power is comparable to the effect of a 'Rejuvenation Talisman'.

In this way, the bull demon gradually became close to Lin Changsheng.

Its massive body usually roams around the perimeter of the courtyard.

When He Yun was bored, she would bravely wipe the bull demon's body.

……

Inside the room, Lin Changsheng froze in mid-air, holding the talisman brush, looking at the self-destructing talismans on the table, and sighed in his heart.

"This is the sixteenth failure in three months. It seems that even a first-grade high-quality talisman paper cannot meet the requirements for forming a talisman."

Seeing that only a few high-grade first-tier talismans remained, Lin Changsheng decided not to continue trying.

Feeling somewhat depressed, I walked out of the house.

This time, he originally planned to draw a special talisman called 'Spirit Beast Talisman'.

Also inherited from the memories of 'Tian Du Zhenren'.

It's quite difficult for Lin Changsheng right now; it's considered a 'quasi-second-tier' spell.

'Spirit Beast Talisman': Absorbs the divine soul of a demon beast into the talisman paper and preserves it in a special way. After being activated with magic power, it can summon the divine soul of the demon beast and unleash 80% of its original strength.

However, not only is the drawing method of this kind of magic symbol complicated, but the conditions for its use are also very demanding.

During the process of absorbing divine souls, the cooperation of demonic beasts is also required.

Lin Changsheng knew that the bull demon, the ancestor of the He family, was quite intelligent and didn't have much time left.

Even with the healing talisman and his own magical power, he still couldn't be cured.

He wanted to try to persuade the bull demon to cooperate with him in refining the 'Spirit Beast Talisman' in his last moments.

If it succeeds, then I will essentially have a bodyguard who is at the late stage of Qi Condensation.

Unexpectedly, his relationship with the bull demon has become increasingly close, but he still cannot draw the most crucial 'spirit beast talisman'.
