Steady Mortal Path: Starting from Obtaining the Golden Core Inheritance

With Lin Changsheng's return, the burden on He Yun and Tian Fu's shoulders has become heavier.

The mundane tasks of instructing He Yun on talisman making, such as crafting talisman paper and spiritual ink, naturally fell to Tian Fu.

As he grew older, Tian Fu took the tasks assigned by Lin Changsheng more and more seriously.

She was extremely thoughtful in handling various matters in the courtyard, even better than He Yun, who had been by Lin Changsheng's side for many years.

This made the little girl very jealous, and she was always finding fault with Tian Fu.

"Hehe, Yun girl, with Uncle Lin by my side, I'll send you back to the He family sooner or later..."

Tian Fu always gloated to He Yun.

"Little Fuzi, you're asking for it!"

He Yun gritted her teeth in anger.

……

In addition, Lin Changsheng seized the time to study the drawing of the 'Breaking the Restriction Talisman'.

I don't know if it's because I created a 'quasi-second-tier' spirit beast talisman.

Lin Changsheng's talisman-making skills have improved significantly. He originally thought it would take some time to draw the 'Breaking the Restriction Talisman', but he completed it in less than two months.

During this period, He Wanying visited once, her purpose naturally being to discuss the treatment of Liu Zifeng.

Lin Changsheng used the excuse that he was busy making talismans to avoid going over.

Actually, Lin Changsheng wasn't exactly lying.

After becoming a first-tier talisman master, the He family's senior management unanimously decided to improve Lin Changsheng's treatment.

However, the number of symbols required for creation also increases accordingly.

Lin Changsheng spends a third of his time each month making talismans.

In addition, he practiced his martial arts daily, studied medical traditions, and promised Lin Xiurong and Zhang Xiucai the magic talisman.

In the secluded courtyard of the Xi Danhe family, Lin Changsheng leads a busy and fulfilling life every day.

Over time, they have both made significant progress in talisman-making skills and the inheritance of medical knowledge.

The only problem is that his cultivation progress is somewhat slow.

The He family's spiritual vein is only a second-grade low-level vein, and Lin Changsheng's villa is not located in the central area.

The actual cultivation speed is equivalent to a first-grade high-level spiritual vein.

Its effect on helping to break through the later stage of Qi Condensation is not very significant.

Lin Changsheng had originally planned to break through to the seventh level of Qi Condensation on his own, so that when he broke through to the tenth level of Qi Condensation in the future, he could take the high-grade breakthrough pill without the effect of drug resistance.

That seems unrealistic now.

……

Six months later, He Wanying visited again, hoping that Lin Changsheng would help treat Liu Zifeng.

This time, Lin Changsheng said that he has been studying the inheritance of medical knowledge and has come up with a more reliable method.

However, the prerequisite is that nine 'silver needle magic weapons' need to be crafted.

Using magical artifacts as a medium to transfer magical power into the other person's body makes the effect more significant.

This time, Lin Changsheng was telling the truth as well.

If one has the 'silver needle magic tool' from the medical lineage, and the special magic power of the 'Eternal Spring of Withered Tree', one's medical skill level can approach that of a first-class superior.

He Wanying did not insist on this, but gave Lin Changsheng a meaningful look before leaving.

Lin Changsheng felt deeply troubled and sighed inwardly.

Although his cultivation level was not high, he had the memories inherited from the 'Heavenly Poison True Man'.

Their vision and knowledge far surpass those of ordinary cultivators.

When that fellow Daoist Liu Zifeng sought medical help, he not only concealed his condition, but Lin Changsheng also vaguely sensed that the cultivation method he practiced did not seem to be the orthodox path.

This made Lin Changsheng uneasy.

How could He Wanying be involved with a Foundation Establishment cultivator like this...?

Fortunately, he was just a doctor, so even if he refused to treat the patient, this senior Liu Zifeng wouldn't go so far as to storm the He family and cause him trouble.

After all, the Xi Dan He family also has Foundation Establishment cultivators guarding it.

Let's hide for a few years first.

……

one year later.

Lin Changsheng is thirty-eight years old.

His magical power is solid and stable, and his cultivation at the mid-stage of Qi Condensation is complete. He can break through to the late-stage of Qi Condensation at any time.

Upon reaching this level, Lin Changsheng realized that the so-called bottleneck of the late stage of Qi Condensation was not as solid as he had expected.

As the appointed day approached, Lin Changsheng wrote a letter to the Qinglan Sect, setting the meeting place at a low hill a dozen miles away from the Xi Danhe family's territory.

"Congratulations, Brother Lin, on your progress in cultivation. It seems you will soon advance to the seventh level of Qi Condensation."

As soon as Zhang Xiucai landed, he noticed that Lin Changsheng's cultivation had improved considerably compared to a year ago, and congratulated him.

"It's not that easy. Brother Shangwen, you overestimate me."

Lin Changsheng smiled modestly.

Lin Xiurong was delayed by other matters during this meeting and asked Zhang Xiucai to pass on her message.

If Lin Changsheng can create a 'banning talisman' and give it to Zhang Xiucai to take back, the previous agreement will be valid.

If I fail to produce it as promised, then the method for making the barrier-breaking talisman should be given as a gift to my old friend.

Upon hearing this, Lin Changsheng nodded.

Without bothering to find out why Lin Xiurong hadn't come, he simply took out a handful of talismans and pulled out three of them.

Three 'forbidden-breaking talismans'.

One of them reached the 'near Tier 2' quality!

This is the second time Lin Changsheng has drawn a second-tier spell talisman, following the 'Spirit Beast Talisman'.

"Brother Lin really made it?"

A look of surprise flashed across Zhang Xiucai's eyes.

He valued Lin Changsheng's talisman-making skills even more.

Second-tier spell runes, even if they are only 'quasi-second-tier'.

That also touches upon the scope of the Foundation Establishment stage.

If Lin Changsheng puts in extra effort and spares no expense to create a second-tier attack talisman, it would be equivalent to a spell attack cast by a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and would definitely be a powerful weapon against ordinary Qi Condensation cultivators!

With this in mind, Zhang Xiucai decided that he and Brother Lin should further deepen their cooperation in the future.

After taking the three 'barrier-breaking talismans' and putting them away separately, Zhang Xiucai took the magic talisman from Lin Changsheng.

Ten high-grade spell talismans and three fine spell talismans.

This was something the two of them had agreed upon.

In addition, Lin Changsheng solemnly took out three special talismans and a list.

"Brother Shangwen, I've heard that the 'Mirror Mist Forbidden Land' is fraught with danger. These three special spells are a token of my appreciation. If used at the right time, their effects are no less than those of a first-tier high-quality spell." Lin Changsheng took out the list separately and asked, "I hope that during your training, Brother Shangwen can collect the items on this list. I will reward you handsomely."

Zhang Xiucai took the list and glanced at it. He found that it listed unfamiliar medicinal herb names and descriptions of their appearance, and realized that these were all items used by doctors.

After frowning slightly, he wanted to persuade Lin Changsheng to focus on making talismans, but he opened his mouth and didn't say anything. Instead, he agreed.

Zhang Xiucai still believed that his friend was always methodical and logical, and did not seem like someone who couldn't distinguish between priorities.

Some things should be left unsaid; excessive interference is counterproductive.

Before leaving, Zhang Xiucai left Lin Changsheng a 'Demon Marrow Pill' that he had exchanged at the Qinglan Sect.

It is a breakthrough pill specifically for spirit insects and demonic beasts. After taking it, there is a chance to break through to the late stage of the first rank.

This pill is considered payment for asking Lin Changsheng to make the talisman.

Lin Changsheng gladly accepted it.

After seeing Zhang Xiucai off, Lin Changsheng immediately returned to the He family's estate.

For the next period of time, he closed his doors to visitors and entered a state of seclusion.

Prior to this, he had already instructed He Yun to report to the clan's higher-ups, suspend the production of talismans, and focus all her efforts on breaking through to the late stage of Qi Condensation.

The He family's top executives were very supportive and cooperated fully.

Not long after, He Wanying visited again and found a sign hanging on the gate that read "No Visitors Allowed".

The entire courtyard was enveloped by a layer of isolation and restriction.

He Wanying paused for a moment, pursed her lips, and then leaped away.
