Steady Mortal Path: Starting from Obtaining the Golden Core Inheritance

After Tian Hulin left, Lin Changsheng gazed thoughtfully at the pale green jade slip in his hand.

Until the former left the Xi Danhe family and fled far away.

"Tian Fu, you will stay here with Yun'er. When you reach the third level of Qi Condensation, I will slowly pass on my medical skills to you. How much you learn depends on your own destiny."

"Yun'er, help him settle down first."

Lin Changsheng withdrew his gaze and turned to look at the somewhat helpless child in front of him, then gave instructions to He Yun who was standing to the side.

"Tian Fu, you're not as old as me, so I'll call you Little Fu from now on. Come with me."

The little girl said in a pretentious manner.

"Thank you, Sister Xiaoyun. Thank you, Uncle Lin."

Tian Fu was still immersed in the emotions of parting from his loved ones, and his voice lacked confidence, barely audible.

……

Lin Changsheng put away the jade slip containing the physician's legacy, but did not examine it immediately.

At the same time, he gently patted the storage bag, and a slender, willow-leaf-shaped magical artifact, emitting spiritual light, shot out from it and hovered in front of him.

He channeled his magic power and leaped upwards, unleashing a pure wood-attribute aura. His figure instantly soared into the air and disappeared into the distance.

Along the way, towering mountains and picturesque scenery swept past Lin Changsheng.

Many members of the He family looked up and saw the person flying away, and they were filled with envy. Then they smiled and greeted him.

More than a year ago, the top-grade magic weapon 'Willow Leaf Shuttle', which he had exchanged with family contributions, was successfully crafted and handed over to him. Lin Changsheng cherished it dearly.

He has realized his dream of 'flying freely', a dream he has cherished for two lifetimes.

However, despite the claim of free flight, ever since Lin Changsheng obtained this 'Willow Leaf Shuttle,' he has only occasionally flown around the He family's territory to satisfy his craving.

They have never left the family's territory.

The sky may appear calm and peaceful, but dangers lurk beneath.

The limit for cultivators in the Qi Condensation stage to fly is seven or eight hundred feet. Beyond that, dangerous strong winds appear, which can only be resisted by cultivators in the Foundation Establishment stage who activate their protective qi.

Therefore, the actual space available for Lin Changsheng to escape is very limited.

In the short time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Lin Changsheng arrived at the clan leader's usual cultivation place.

“Chief, these are the spell runes from recent times, including a special quality ‘Wood Thorn Rune’.”

Lin Changsheng handed over a bulging cloth bag.

"A special quality 'Wooden Thorn Charm'?"

"The strokes are full and vigorous, with a smooth and flowing magical energy fluctuation, showing the style of a master. It is comparable to a top-grade magic talisman!"

"It seems that Master Lin's talisman-making skills have improved quite a bit."

Clan Chief He Wenbin quickly took the bag and examined it, his gaze soon landing on the exquisite talisman.

"Clan leader, you flatter me. If it weren't for the high-quality talisman brushes and materials provided by the clan, I wouldn't have made such a breakthrough."

Lin Changsheng spoke humbly, cupping his hands in a respectful gesture.

His talisman-making skills had indeed improved considerably during this period, and he himself was quite satisfied with them.

This includes the memory inheritance of 'Heavenly Poison Master' and the talent of 'Heaven Rewards Diligence'.

This is also largely due to the large amount of rare materials provided by the He family at any cost.

Lin Changsheng kept this kindness in his heart.

"I wonder if Master Lin is currently able to attempt to create a high-grade talisman?"

Chief He was somewhat expectant.

For a family like the He family, the ability to create a first-grade high-quality talisman is especially important, even more so than that of a cultivator at the Great Perfection of Qi Condensation.

No matter how exquisite Lin Changsheng's talisman-making skills were, or how extraordinary the effects of the 'Rejuvenation Talisman' were, it was still ultimately a mid-grade talisman.

Therefore, the He family has spared no expense in training Lin Changsheng for many years in the hope of producing a first-tier high-grade talisman master from their own family.

"If production is carried out regardless of cost, the success rate is only about 10%, and it will still result in a loss."

Lin Changsheng thought for a moment, and under the other party's eager and expectant gaze, he said calmly.

"Not bad, not bad. It must have been difficult for Master Lin. It's normal that the success rate is low when you can only create a first-grade high-quality talisman at the sixth level of Qi Condensation. As your cultivation level increases in the future, the success rate will improve."

He Wenbin's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he said with delight, offering words of comfort.

Being able to create a first-tier superior talisman, even if the success rate is low and materials are lost, still qualifies one as a first-tier superior talisman master.

After many years, the He family has finally produced another first-grade high-level talisman master!

"If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now."

After handing over the talisman, Lin Changsheng took his leave as usual.

Unexpectedly, the clan chief stopped him this time.

"Master Lin, please wait."

After accepting the talisman, Clan Chief He Wenbin looked Lin Changsheng up and down with a smile, leaving Lin Changsheng completely bewildered.

"Master Lin always cultivates alone in seclusion, rarely interacting with the younger generation of the clan. This kind of closed-door cultivation will not be good for the long term. In the next few days, there will be a 'Alchemy Conference' initiated by alchemists in Qingmen Immortal City. Would Master Lin be willing to represent the He family to participate, and at the same time go out for a walk?"

Seeing Lin Changsheng's puzzled expression, He Wenbin smiled and explained.

"'Ondan Conference'?"

The clan chief's kind smile puzzled Lin Changsheng. He had never been involved in alchemy before, so he subconsciously declined, saying, "I have absolutely no interest in alchemy. Why doesn't the clan chief let Miss Wanying go?"

"Hehe, Yingying is proficient in alchemy, so she naturally wouldn't miss such a grand event. I just see that Master Lin's cultivation is currently at the sixth level of Qi Condensation, and he will inevitably have to worry about breaking through the bottleneck of the late stage of Qi Condensation in the future. You two can go together this time, and perhaps you can befriend some alchemist and seek out a mid-grade antidote. At the same time, you two are the most outstanding talents of the He family, and we should get closer to each other."

The clan chief looked over with a meaningful gaze.

Lin Changsheng was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized what was happening, and a strange look appeared on his face.

Is the clan leader planning to... match him up with He Wanying?

Then, I subconsciously recalled my speculation about He Wanying from back then.

First, He Yun's biological father died after getting engaged to He Wanying.

Later, You Haifeng of the You family married into the family, but was also ambushed and killed.

He Shan, who was known as one of the "Two Beauties of the He Family" along with this woman, passed away two years ago.

Lin Changsheng had a vague feeling that this woman seemed to be a natural nemesis to those close to her.

Even the three most gifted geniuses in the clan couldn't withstand it.

Now they're trying to match me with this woman...

Lin Changsheng couldn't help but shiver.

Although I remember He Wanying as gentle and elegant with exceptional beauty.

But sometimes, when it comes to superstition, it's better to believe it's true than not.

Lin Changsheng kept his distance from this Miss Wanying.

Not to mention there were two rogue cultivators at the ninth level of Qi Condensation outside, eyeing him covetously.

Before having sufficient means to protect themselves, even if the sky were to fall, they must never step out of the He family's territory.

"I had a sudden inspiration regarding talisman making today, and I was just about to go back and meditate for a while to carefully study it. At this critical moment, I really cannot be distracted by going out. Please forgive me, clan leader."

Making talismans and offering sacrifices is a skill that allows Lin Changsheng to earn a living. Although he is not arrogant because of his talent, he communicates with the He family on an equal footing and does not need to compromise.

"That's a real shame..."

He Wenbin's eyes showed regret at Lin Changsheng's polite refusal, but his expression quickly returned to normal, and he didn't mention anything about bringing the two together.
