Steady Mortal Path: Starting from Obtaining the Golden Core Inheritance

"I wonder what Xiao'e will think when she receives the letter."

Lin Changsheng had absolutely no confidence in persuading Xiao'e.

People are never static. After coming into contact with the Qinglan Sect, a vast platform, I have seen a much wider world of cultivation.

Lin Xiurong, the genius disciple of Qinglan Sect, is no longer the obedient Xiao'e she once was.

"Fine, if you don't agree, then pay for this spirit bamboo with spirit stones."

Lin Changsheng made up his mind.

I'm not the type to pester someone relentlessly; contacting Xiao'e repeatedly would only annoy her.

In the days that followed, at the request of the He family's higher-ups, Lin Changsheng began to rush to make various magical talismans.

Especially unique talismans like the Rejuvenation Talisman and the Qi Restoration Talisman.

However, this would inevitably delay Lin Changsheng's cultivation to some extent.

The He family readily offered corresponding compensation.

In addition to being counted as family contributions, the extra talismans that were hastily made were also rewarded with a considerable amount of cultivation resources such as spirit rice, spirit stones, and pills.

Lin Changsheng also took the opportunity to ask for a batch of materials such as talisman paper and spirit ink for drawing high-grade talismans.

Upon hearing this news, the clan chief's face showed a mixture of astonishment and surprise.

The fact that he needs materials for high-grade talismans indicates that Lin Changsheng is preparing to attempt to become a first-tier high-grade talisman master.

Over the years, Lin Changsheng has always been calm and composed, never greedy for credit or rash.

Since they were able to speak up, it means they must have some confidence.

The clan leader immediately decided that he would help Lin Changsheng, even if it came at a cost.

The family is currently in dire straits, and a first-tier high-grade talisman master would be of great help.

Because of his innate talent of "Heaven rewards diligence," Lin Changsheng persisted in cultivating his internal energy without ever daring to stop.

In order to complete the talisman-making task, I have to drastically reduce my rest time.

Lin Changsheng worked almost non-stop, day and night to finish the project.

In three months, they barely managed to make up for the lack of magical symbols from the first half of the year.

Of course, making talismans is extremely energy-consuming. The side effects of working so hard for so long left Lin Changsheng exhausted and dizzy all day.

I had originally planned to draw a high-grade magic talisman soon, but given the current situation, that seems unlikely.

We can only postpone it for now.

When he had some free time, Lin Changsheng examined himself.

His previous experience of being ambushed made him realize that he still lacked the means to protect himself.

So he used the family's accumulated contributions over the years to exchange for two magical artifacts from the He family.

Tier 1, Medium Grade 'White Phosphorus Soft Armor'.

It's worn close to the skin on a daily basis, feels almost weightless, but offers good defensive capabilities, making it a decent piece of protective gear.

A first-tier superior-grade flying magic weapon, the 'Willow Leaf Shuttle'.

The Willow Leaf Shuttle is currently the highest-level magical artifact that the He family can exchange for through contributions.

Upon learning that Lin Changsheng wanted to exchange for this item, the He family patriarch offered some words of persuasion.

Although this willow leaf shuttle is of high quality and flies extremely fast, it also consumes a terrifying amount of mana, and the user must have at least the cultivation level of the late stage of Qi Condensation.

But Lin Changsheng remained unmoved, determined to exchange for the item.

Recalling the previous attack, the clan leader knew that this Lin Fu Master was afraid and wanted to exchange for a life-saving item to feel at ease.

So they stopped trying to stop them.

However, the willow leaf shuttle is not yet finished. The He family needs to contact the weapon refiner they have been cooperating with for several months to start crafting and refining it.

Lin Changsheng was slightly disappointed to learn that there was no stock available.

But having already received the clan chief's promise, they could only wait patiently.

Anyway, things haven't been peaceful around the He family in recent years, and Lin Changsheng doesn't plan to go out. He can wait a few months.

Life then returned to normal.

Lin Changsheng practiced the "Evergreen Tree Technique" every day without fail, and his magical power steadily increased.

In his spare time, he would draw talismans every day.

How much to make depends entirely on my mood.

Then he instructed He Yun on talisman making and cultivation, and also took time to feed the Crimson Centipede and take care of the Bull Demon.

Life was ordinary, but fulfilling.

With the arrival of the materials for crafting the superior-grade talisman from the He family, Lin Changsheng attempted to create a superior-grade talisman.

First-grade high-level spell runes are obscure and complex, several times more difficult than mid-grade spell runes.

But Lin Changsheng has an advantage that others don't.

The memory and experience inherited from 'Tian Du Zhenren', and the talent of [Heaven Rewards Diligence].

No matter how complicated it is, as long as you put in the effort and practice diligently, you will gradually accumulate experience.

However, every time he went into seclusion for a period of time, Lin Changsheng would keep track of correspondence with the outside world.

However, they never received a letter from the Qinglan Sect.

Unexpectedly, he received news that Xu Qinghuan had remarried.

Now that the He family is dwindling in talent, Xu Qinghuan took a concubine to help the family expand and gained the support of the clan.

Lin Changsheng arrived early that morning to offer his congratulations.

Xu Qinghuan is nearly thirty years old, and this time he is marrying a young woman of seventeen or eighteen.

The girl was from a collateral branch of the He family and was a mortal without spiritual roots.

She was born with a beautiful and charming appearance, with captivating eyes that could steal one's heart. Her features bore a slight resemblance to Xiao'e from back then.

Congratulations on the addition of another beautiful wife.

Lin Changsheng took out three 'Rejuvenation Charms' as a congratulatory gift.

"Brother Lin, my concubine has a younger sister at home, who is also very beautiful. If you just ask, I'll help you find a match."

Xu Qinghuan, dressed in a very festive manner and reeking of alcohol, approached.

"I'm busy making talismans and cultivating every day, where would I find the time for romance? I'm not worthy of having a sister like you."

Lin Changsheng smiled and declined.

Besides Lin Changsheng, most of the other independent cultivators who joined the He family back then came to offer their congratulations.

However, several familiar faces were missing.

He Liangcai told us that the missing people had died in the competition with the Chen family of Huangling.

If those people hadn't joined the He family back then, and had just drifted aimlessly as rogue cultivators in Huangling Market, they might still be alive and well today.

If you take someone's money, you must be loyal to them.

Those who enjoy the spiritual veins and cultivation resources provided by the He family must also bear the responsibility of maintaining the peace and stability of the family.

Lin Changsheng remained expressionless, but sighed inwardly.

……

After Xu Qinghuan's wedding, Lin Changsheng returned to his residence.

He spends his days explaining complex concepts in simple terms and diligently cultivating his skills.

The situation with the Chen family in Huangling made him feel somewhat threatened.

Especially since a couple surnamed Xie were also thinking about him.

Lin Changsheng decided to use elixirs to enhance his cultivation and accelerate his progress.

He originally planned to advance to the late stage of Qi Condensation on his own, and then use pills after his cultivation progress slowed down.

Because regardless of the grade of the elixir, taking a large amount in a short period of time will lead to a certain degree of 'drug resistance'.

At the same time, some erysipelas will accumulate, which will affect one's potential to some extent and will require time to dilute and resolve.

However, with the He family facing internal and external troubles, Lin Changsheng decided to raise his cultivation to the late stage of Qi Condensation ahead of schedule, so that he would have a little bit of self-protection.

Lin Changsheng has accumulated quite a few pills that can enhance cultivation over the years.

After explaining some matters to He Yun, he began his formal seclusion.

Each retreat lasts approximately one to three months.

There would always be a few days in between when I would stop taking the pills and relax my mind and body.

Two years have passed in the blink of an eye.
