Steady Mortal Path: Starting from Obtaining the Golden Core Inheritance

Swish!

A faint sound came from the spell symbol.

A bluish-green chill spread out, instantly condensing into tiny ice crystals upon contact with the air.

It's freezing cold.

Illuminated by the flames below, they resembled dazzling red crystals.

Madam Xie, standing in the heart of the cold air, had already been invaded by the cold and turned into a human-shaped ice sculpture.

His own magical power immediately weakened.

'Ice Freezing Talisman' is a special ice-attribute spell that, once activated, can instantly freeze all living things within a radius of several feet.

Even a cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Condensation would not be able to escape unscathed from the chilling aura emanating from this talisman.

However, Lin Changsheng was not completely at ease because of this.

Sensing the fluctuations in Madam Xie's magical power, although they were rapidly weakening, she still retained a breath of life.

Lin Changsheng looked at the ice sculpture a dozen feet away and marveled at the tenacity of the ninth level of Qi Condensation cultivator. After a moment's deliberation, a stack of spell talismans appeared in his hand, and he summoned the silver wheel magic weapon.

A silver light streaked across the sky, accompanied by more than ten colorful talismans, pouring towards the frozen Madam Xie!

Lin Changsheng originally intended to kill Madam Xie in one blow, but an unexpected change occurred at this moment!

A cloud of pinkish-white smoke emanated from Madam Xie's ice sculpture, spreading outwards.

The power of the various magical symbols was greatly reduced after they came into contact with the miasma.

Even the silver wheel magic artifact became dull and sluggish after being shrouded.

This miasma seems to have the effect of hindering the use of ritual implements.

This scene caused Lin Changsheng's expression to change instantly. Without hesitation, he recalled the Silver Wheel magic weapon and turned to flee in the opposite direction.

With the help of the 'Wind Control Talisman', Lin Changsheng took out the near-first-tier 'Lightness Talisman' to escape, and combined it with the 'Lightness Skill' movement technique from the secular world, resulting in an extremely fast burst of speed.

With one step, one can traverse three to five zhang (approximately 10-15 meters).

In the blink of an eye, they were already a hundred feet away.

Within a dozen or so breaths, Lin Changsheng's figure burst out of the sea of ​​fire.

In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Lin Changsheng had run several miles away.

Behind them, the forest was ablaze with fire, and only a few wisps of black smoke could be faintly seen on the horizon.

At this point, Lin Tajiu dared not be careless.

As soon as the Wind Control Talisman expired, I immediately replaced it with another one.

The Bone-Eating Talisman and the Ice-Freezing Talisman are among the most powerful talismans in Lin Changsheng's possession.

Even a surprise attack couldn't kill Madam Xie. Now that the enemy is on guard, repeating the same trick will likely be ineffective.

It's still unknown how long the Ice Condensation Talisman can trap the opponent; for now, the only option is to escape as quickly as possible.

During the run, Lin Changsheng changed direction several times and constantly sensed the movement around him.

Once it is discovered that Madam Xie shows signs of catching up, we should consider using the life-saving secret techniques from the memories of 'Heavenly Poison Master'.

These secret techniques are similar to those He Zhizhou used before, but they are methods of overdrawing potential to stimulate speed.

With Lin Changsheng's current cultivation level, using this technique, his escape speed is fast enough to protect himself among Qi Condensation cultivators.

The price paid was extremely heavy; for at least the next few years, he would have to rest and recuperate, unable to improve his cultivation level in the slightest.

This would greatly delay one's own cultivation.

Lin Changsheng was unwilling to use this method unless absolutely necessary.

As time went on, his fears ultimately did not come true.

In half a day, we changed directions several times.

Lin Changsheng had already run over a hundred miles away and arrived at a secular, ordinary town.

Lin Changsheng felt a little more at ease after not sensing Madam Xie's presence.

Fearing that the other party might not be able to find him and thus lay an ambush on his return journey, Lin Changsheng did not return directly to Xi Danhe's house, but instead chose to travel in the opposite direction.

As dusk approached, he decided to suppress his magical aura and enter the town, finding an inn to settle down and observe the situation.

……

On the other side, Lin Changsheng hadn't been gone long.

Suddenly, cracks appeared inside the ice sculpture frozen by the Ice Condensation Talisman, and then it shattered inch by inch, with ice shards falling off.

Encased in ice, the once elegantly dressed Madam Xie now looked utterly disheveled.

His once magnificent clothes were now tattered and barely covered his body, corroded by the poisonous miasma of the Bone-Corroding Talisman.

Her entire body was a bloody mess, and her once charming face had become hideous and grotesque due to the corrosive poison. A small section of her arm had completely necrotized under the chilling influence of the Ice Condensation Talisman.

"Ahhh... the He family's talisman master... I'll remember you!"

Madam Xie's voice was deep and somber. In her other intact hand was a pink bracelet that was constantly releasing pink miasma.

Clearly, this bracelet played a significant role in their escape from danger.

……

After settling down and resting for a day in the secular town, Lin Changsheng bought a fine horse, changed his clothes, and rode away.

This time, Lin Changsheng still did not go directly back to Xi Danhe's house.

Having been ambushed by the Chen family of Huangling, the He family would certainly not remain silent after learning the news.

Whether it was to avoid falling into the Chen family's ambush or to avoid the conflict between the two families, Lin Changsheng decided to observe the current situation further.

Just as he was settling down in the secular town, Lin Changsheng suddenly remembered that he also had family in the secular world.

He took out a map of the cultivation world in Yue Kingdom and, relying on his vague memory, found the three small characters 'Longshan County' among the densely packed small characters.

The journey, with its frequent stops, was a rare moment of relaxation for Lin Changsheng, who had been cultivating day and night for many years.

Traveling at this leisurely pace, it took Lin Changsheng three months to return to Longshan County.

Relying on his memories from that time, Lin Changsheng arrives at 'Lin Family Village', the place where he was born in this life.

Decades have passed, and this mountain village remains much the same as it was back then, except that the old locust tree at the village entrance has become a bit thicker, and it is not much different from what I remember.

With his intention to remain hidden, these ordinary mortals naturally could not discover the traces of Lin Changsheng, a cultivator.

In an old thatched hut, Lin Changsheng secretly met his parents, who were nearly sixty years old.

The eldest son, Lin Dazhuang, and the second son, Lin Erdan, are both married and have established their own households in the village.

Miss Li Manting was not lying; the Li family of Longshan County had taken good care of the Lin family in recent years.

The family never lacked food or clothing, and even in bad years, the Li family in the county town would send someone to deliver their stored grain.

My younger sister, Lin Cui, married a scholar from the county a couple of years ago through an introduction from the Li family.

In short, everything was fine at home. Lin Changsheng observed quietly for several days and never heard his family mention his name, "Lin San Gou," the third son.

A few days later, Lin Changsheng sneaked into the Li family's residence in the county town.

In Longshan County, the Li family has prospered in recent years. Old Master Li is over sixty years old but still in good health and has taken nine concubines.

At an age when he should have been enjoying his retirement, he somehow remained vigorous and had many children for the Li family.

A few days ago, his concubine gave birth to a son, and Master Li held a grand full-month celebration, which was attended by all the prominent figures in the county.

In the evening, Master Li, reeking of alcohol and with a flushed face, entered the room of one of his concubines.

Upon entering, one sees the young girl, barely out of her teens, fast asleep on the bed.

But sitting at the table was a young man in white who looked to be under twenty.

"Mr. Li is over fifty years old, yet his virility remains undiminished; truly admirable..."

The boy was looking at him with a mocking expression.

"Young friend, what brings you here so late at night?"

Looking at the young man in the room, Master Li quickly regained his composure after a brief moment of panic.

"It seems that the elixirs brought by Miss Li are quite effective. Master Li is truly enjoying himself."

Lin Changsheng spoke calmly with a faint smile on his face.

"You are... Brother Lin?"

Upon hearing this, the nearly sixty-year-old Mr. Li was visibly shaken, his face filled with shock. After carefully examining the handsome and refined young man in white before him, he vaguely recognized him, his expression one of disbelief.
