Steady Mortal Path: Starting from Obtaining the Golden Core Inheritance

After traveling for more than ten days, the group of seven finally arrived safely at the territory of the 'Nangong Family'.

Three days ago, on the way, they also witnessed two groups of mid-stage Qi Condensation cultivators fighting each other.

However, Lin Changsheng and his group were merely passing through, and with a late-stage Qi Condensation cultivator present, they naturally remained at peace.

Originally, at the pace of the He sisters, it would have only taken four or five days.

The airship was too slow, which caused a delay.

Watching the two sisters' graceful figures as they flew away, Lin Changsheng felt envious of the shuttle-shaped magical artifact.

Thinking that I might consider buying one when I have more money in the future.

Before long, He Zhizhou led Lin Changsheng and the others to the foot of a scenic mountain range.

Looking into the distance, a few miles away, there appears to be a bustling town built against the mountain.

Lin Changsheng and the others stopped there and waited patiently.

In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, several young people dressed in the same clothes descended from the sky.

They appear to be the guards of the Nangong family.

"The Nangong family is just ahead. Unauthorized personnel should not trespass."

Upon arrival, several young men looked at Lin Changsheng and his group with some wariness.

When his gaze swept over the two He sisters, he lingered for a moment, a look of amazement in his eyes.

The man who led the group looked to be under thirty years old and had a cultivation level of the fifth level of Qi Condensation.

Although their cultivation levels were generally lower than Lin Changsheng and the others, they spoke with a firm tone and full of confidence.

"Hehe, fellow Daoists from the Nangong family, we are all members of the Xi Danhe family, and we have come to offer our birthday greetings to True Person Nangong."

Elder He Zhizhou chuckled and began to explain.

"The Xi Dan He family? I don't think I've ever heard of them..."

The leading man muttered to himself for a while, then looked the group over again before reluctantly turning his gaze away from the He sisters. He then took out a list and began searching.

"Found it... The Xi Danhe family does exist... Did they bring their visiting card?"

After scrolling to the very end, the man made a mark on the list and asked a question without even looking up.

"Naturally there is."

He Zhizhou didn't mind the other party's dismissive attitude and smiled as he took out the He family's visiting card and handed it over.

"The birthday banquet will begin in ten days. You've arrived too early. You can stay here for now. Please come with me."

After accepting the visiting card, the leading man lazily led the way.

The bustling crowd in the town consisted mostly of collateral relatives of the Nangong family.

Among them were also some outsiders who came seeking refuge after hearing about its reputation.

Among these people were low-level cultivators with magical powers, as well as ordinary mortals who were unable to cultivate.

Yet they can live together naturally and harmoniously.

He Zhizhou caught up with the silent Nangong family guards and secretly slipped them a small cloth bag.

Once he could see what was inside, the guard beamed with joy.

"This... Fellow Daoist He is too kind."

The Nangong family guards did not hesitate and skillfully put away the cloth bag.

"We come from remote areas and are unfamiliar with the rules of the Nangong family. We would appreciate your guidance, fellow Daoist."

Elder He Zhizhou also had a smile on his face.

"Of course, of course. Most of the people living here are members of the Nangong family, both direct descendants and distant relatives. To entertain guests who have come from afar, the town has recently acquired quite a few treasures. If you have the funds, you can take a look around; you might find something you like."

At this point, the guard lowered his voice and then reminded everyone, "Fighting is prohibited here. Regardless of who is right or wrong, both sides will be severely punished if caught."

"I see. Fellow Daoist, please rest assured, we are all law-abiding people and would never do anything wrong."

He Zhizhou responded with a smile.

"Tch." The guard scoffed, his expression dismissive: "Everyone who comes to the Nangong family claims to be law-abiding. Anyway, remember this: if you dare to break the rules, you'll bear the consequences."

After leading Lin Changsheng and his group to a small courtyard reserved for guests and explaining the local rules, the guard left behind a token that could temporarily control the restrictions around the courtyard before taking his leave.

Lin Changsheng sensed it for a moment and realized that the spiritual energy here was even richer than that in the He family's courtyard.

He thought to himself, "As expected of a third-tier spiritual vein, even in its peripheral areas, it far surpasses the He family's second-tier spiritual vein."

"What a family the Nangong is! Even a mere guard speaks with such confidence."

As the Nangong family guards left, He Yong couldn't help but sigh.

"Who is that True Person Nangong? He is one of the most skilled Core Formation True Persons in the cultivation world of Yue Kingdom, and he achieved great fame more than a hundred years ago. With such an ancestor protecting them, the Nangong family members are naturally a bit arrogant. We are here to offer our birthday greetings, so let's not cause any trouble."

Elder He Zhizhou stroked his white beard and gave instructions to everyone.

With their housing problem solved, everyone became interested in the Nangong family's market town.

Judging from what the guard said earlier, with a large number of cultivators gathering this time, the Nangong family also took the opportunity to release a lot of treasures for sale in the market, intending to make a big profit.

Once settled, Lin Changsheng became somewhat curious and wandered around the town's market area.

Because of Master Nangong's birthday, people from all walks of life in the Yue Kingdom's cultivation world gathered here, making it a lively and bustling place.

Everyone followed the rules, and things went smoothly.

The Nangong family is famous for controlling insects and beasts, and half of the items they sell are related to this.

Among them are the eggs or cubs of some strange insects and beasts.

It even has all the necessary methods for raising and breeding animals.

Lin Changsheng was overwhelmed by the variety of treasures, which broadened his horizons and filled him with wonder.

After being introduced to the products by the Nangong family's sales guide, they were very tempted and even wanted to buy some powerful monsters after they grew up.

But in the end, he managed to hold back.

I simply bought some feed suitable for the Red-crowned Centipede.

Even so, it still cost a considerable amount.

Cultivating a mid-grade first-order spirit insect consumed more resources than Lin Changsheng himself needed for daily cultivation.

The cost of training will likely be even greater when it advances to the first-tier superior grade.

But if you give up halfway, all the previous expenses will be wasted.

In the end, it all comes down to me being too poor.

Having spent all his spirit stones, Lin Changsheng simply returned to his courtyard and shut himself in, preferring to stay out of sight and sound.

Two days later, Elder He knocked on Lin Changsheng's door and explained his purpose.

It turns out that the You family from Luochuan arrived yesterday.

After a day of rest, I took the initiative to visit them.

There are mainly two things.

One was that the two companies intended to exchange the methods for making the 'Rejuvenation Talisman' and the 'Qi Recovery Talisman'.

Therefore, it is inevitable that each family will make talismans and offer sacrifices.

In addition, the You family and the He family are related by marriage, and He Wanying's future Daoist partner will be on this trip.

This provides a good opportunity for the two young people to get to know each other.

When Lin Changsheng arrived, he immediately saw a handsome man and a beautiful woman together, seemingly having a pleasant conversation.

He Wanying wore a blue dress, looking noble, elegant, gentle, and graceful. She would occasionally cover her mouth and giggle, looking stunningly beautiful.

The man from the You family was named You Fenghai. He had a handsome and resolute face and was around thirty years old, in the prime of his life.

With a cultivation level of the ninth level of Qi Condensation, he has already surpassed 99% of Qi Condensation cultivators.

They looked like a perfect match.

"This must be the talisman master of the He family. In recent years, Master Lin's reputation has been growing, but I didn't expect him to be so young."

At this moment, among the You family members, an elegant woman with dark hair looked at Lin Changsheng with bright eyes and said with some interest.

Although Lin Changsheng had been secluded at home for many years, he guessed that the elegant and composed woman in front of him was the talisman-making master Xin, who was as famous as his cheap master and was the talisman-making master of the You family in Luochuan.
