Steady Mortal Path: Starting from Obtaining the Golden Core Inheritance

According to Xu Qinghuan, when mortals cultivate magical power and enter the Qi Condensation stage, divine consciousness will be born in their Niwan Palace.

Not only can it introspect itself, but it can also extend its reach to grasp the surrounding movements; no matter how small or insignificant something is, it cannot escape the observation of divine sense.

Lin Changsheng also developed a divine consciousness.

Within the Niwan Palace where his divine consciousness was born.

A dark, ancient-looking scroll of paper floats in the air.

The scroll was mostly empty, with only a few brightly colored words appearing on the first line.

【God rewards those who work hard】

For some reason, Lin Changsheng felt a subtle resonance with these four colorful characters.

On the surface of the black paper roll, there is also a small, translucent, pale purple figure.

The small figure was slowly dissipating, scattering wisps of purple light in all directions.

Lin Changsheng's consciousness also transformed into a small humanoid phantom, cautiously reaching out to touch a wisp of purple light in front of him.

A torrent of memories, not belonging to oneself, violently flooded into the mind like a burst dam.

Lin Changsheng could only passively accept the influx of these memories.

In a daze, I actually witnessed the experience of a late-stage Core Formation cultivator!

However, this late-stage Core Formation cultivator's life was far too long, lasting over four hundred years.

Even a quick, cursory glance would be extremely difficult for Lin Changsheng's fragile consciousness to bear.

Lin Changsheng had no choice but to review memories from certain specific periods.

"It seems that the dreams I've been experiencing all this time are influenced by this Core Formation cultivator..."

Lin Changsheng thought to himself.

This Core Formation cultivator's real name is Han Erniu. He was born into a secular martial arts family and possesses the talent of "Heaven Rewards Diligence" thanks to a black scroll he obtained in his childhood.

At the age of twenty-six, he became a military officer in the imperial court.

When he was ordered to suppress bandits for the imperial court, he encountered an elderly, low-ranking cultivator who had fallen into secular life.

Han Erniu used worldly martial arts to kill the old cultivator and thus gained a chance to become an immortal.

Although I've been involved in cultivation for over thirty years.

However, thanks to his talent of "Heaven rewards diligence," Han Erniu steadily improved his skills in learning various immortal arts. In addition, he possessed a mid-grade spiritual root, so his cultivation speed was not slow.

He progressed steadily and surely, eventually becoming a Golden Elixir True Person at the age of over two hundred.

Furthermore, with his superb poison skills and ability to create various highly poisonous talismans, he earned the title of 'Heavenly Poison Master' in the cultivation world.

Unfortunately, this reputation wasn't very good, which made Han Erniu many enemies in the local cultivation community.

Ultimately, within the ruins of an ancient cultivator, in a struggle for a Nascent Soul artifact, he poisoned over a dozen cultivators of the same level, shocking everyone and drawing the attention of Nascent Soul cultivators. He ultimately perished…

Take back your consciousness.

Lin Changsheng rubbed his slightly swollen eyebrows and eyes, feeling a surge of joy in his heart.

No wonder he rarely encountered bottlenecks after diligently practicing martial arts after obtaining them in his dream.

It turns out it was all thanks to this talent of "Heaven rewards diligence"!

After the 'Heavenly Poison Master' perished, the black scroll inexplicably became his possession.

The talent of 'Heaven rewards diligence'!

It also includes the life story of a late-stage Core Formation cultivator!

For Lin Changsheng, who had just begun cultivating immortality, this was an immense fortune!

It includes various common knowledge about the cultivation world, problems encountered in cultivation, experiences and insights, as well as various cultivation methods and secret techniques that a Core Formation cultivator has encountered over four hundred years...

There are countless.

It's like a giant treasure trove of memories!

With these innate advantages, Lin Changsheng now only lacks abundant cultivation resources and a stable cultivation environment.

In the memories of 'Heavenly Poison Master', Lin Changsheng compiled several good cultivation techniques.

"The 'Netherworld Poison Manual' is a high-level unorthodox poison technique. It uses various evil and poisonous miasmas from the cultivation world to refine the extremely poisonous 'Netherworld Pearl,' capable of killing all things. After mastering it, one's combat power far surpasses that of cultivators of the same level. This is also the reason why 'Heavenly Poison Master' has astonishing combat power and is virtually unmatched among cultivators of the same level..."

"The Purple Sun Technique is a righteous and peaceful orthodox cultivation method that can offset the side effects of cultivating the Netherworld Poison Scripture to a certain extent. However, because its rank is slightly lower, it cannot completely offset the effects of the Netherworld Poison Scripture."

"The 'Eternal Spring of Withered Wood' is a high-level wood-attribute cultivation technique. It excels at cultivating inner energy, producing a long-lasting, gentle, and inexhaustible flow of magical power. It offers additional advantages in both cultivation speed and breaking through bottlenecks, and may replace the 'Purple Sun Technique' to assist in cultivating the 'Netherworld Poison Scripture,' but it is not adept at combat..."

……

Lin Changsheng was torn between these different cultivation methods.

In the memory of 'True Poison Master', these cultivation techniques were undoubtedly extremely precious. For a Core Formation cultivator to value them so highly, they were naturally incomparable to the common goods circulating in the market.

However, after much deliberation, Lin Changsheng decided to abandon his plan to follow the old path of "Heavenly Poison Master".

The "Netherworld Poison Codex" is indeed extraordinary, and can even bridge the gap in cultivation aptitude to a certain extent. Compared with traditional cultivation, it can be said to have opened up a new path.

However, there are still considerable hidden dangers.

This hidden danger first appeared in the mid-stage of the Core Formation realm of 'Heavenly Poison True Man'.

But by then it would be too late. The rogue cultivator 'Heavenly Poison True Man' could not possibly abandon this technique and switch to something else. Doing so would be tantamount to cutting off his own path to immortality, becoming just another ordinary cultivator among those who had reached the Core Formation stage, with no possibility of further advancement.

So they tried every means to remedy the situation and found the Ziyang Gong to practice in order to counteract the side effects of the Mingling Poison Scripture.

It was indeed effective at first, but in the later stages of the Core Formation, the Ziyang Skill gradually lost its effectiveness, and the side effects of its toxic effects began to appear.

At this point, 'True Man of Heavenly Poison' was in a difficult situation and could only try his best to maintain the status quo, and make other plans after condensing his Nascent Soul.

As for the "Everlasting Spring Technique of Withered Trees," it was obtained by "True Man of Heavenly Poison" from the ruins of an ancient cultivator. After a cursory glance, he was delighted to find that this technique seemed to offer hope for solving his own problems.

The only regret is that 'True Poison Master' only managed to obtain the cultivation technique, which allows him to cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage.

The other part of the accompanying cultivation techniques and secret arts, as well as the corresponding methods for crafting magical artifacts and treasures, have all been lost.

After much deliberation, Lin Changsheng finally decided to cultivate the wood-attribute technique, "The Everlasting Spring of Withered Wood".

Although he also coveted the "Netherworld Poison Manual," the hidden dangers associated with its poisonous techniques made Lin Changsheng keep his distance.

Even if the "Eternal Spring of the Withered Tree" technique loses its accompanying secret techniques and other protective methods, the power of this technique will be greatly reduced.

But its advantages of increasing cultivation speed and breaking through bottlenecks alone are enough to make people's hearts flutter.

I am now twenty-one years old and have only just begun to cultivate magical power, barely taking the first step in cultivation.

I'm considered to have started relatively late.

If one cannot improve their cultivation level as soon as possible, they will most likely remain stuck at the Qi Condensation stage for the rest of their lives.

In the memories of 'True Man of Heavenly Poison', he had not yet had time to cultivate this technique after obtaining it, but based on his experience, he vaguely felt that this technique seemed to be extraordinary.

This kind of awareness cannot be faked.

This cultivation method must have something special to be so highly praised by a Core Formation cultivator.
