Steady Mortal Path: Starting from Obtaining the Golden Core Inheritance

"This woman's injuries appear serious, but they are nothing to a late-stage Qi Condensation cultivator. Her visit and actions are quite suspicious. If it were a lecherous person with insufficient self-control, they would probably have already been tempted. Could it be that, after He Wanying, this woman was also sent by the He family to approach and win me over?"

After seeing Huang Yingying off, Lin Changsheng frowned and thought to himself…

in the courtyard.

"Little Fuzi, you rascal, tell me honestly what you just saw?"

In the courtyard, He Yun stood with one hand on her hip and the other grabbing Tian Fu's ear, questioning him fiercely.

"Yun girl, are you sick in the head? I was just sleeping, I didn't even know that lady came in!"

Tian Fu retorted, his neck stiff and his face flushed.

"You little rascal, I'm going to tell Uncle Lin...you've gone astray!"

Hearing Tian Fu's words, He Yun stomped her foot in anger, shook off his hand, and was about to go find Lin Changsheng.

"Hehe, you little girl Yun is worried about your position in front of Uncle Lin, so you like to do these little tricks on purpose."

Tian Fu wasn't afraid at all. He made a face and quickly ran into his room, saying smugly through the window.

……

Two months later, Lin Changsheng ended his seclusion with regret.

It still feels a bit lacking in the later stages of impact condensation.

Upon exiting the house, He Yun and Tian Fu were waiting for them outside.

This is a habit that the two of them have developed in recent years under Tian Fu's influence.

Whenever Lin Changsheng finished a period of seclusion, the two would always take the initiative to meet and ask if there were any plans.

After checking and instructing the two on their progress in making talismans and their cultivation as usual, Lin Changsheng kept Tian Fu behind for questioning.

"Tian Fu, is there still no news from your grandfather, Fellow Daoist Tian?"

If you count the time, many years have passed. Even if that Fellow Daoist Tian didn't succeed in establishing his foundation back then, he should have brought back news by now.

It cannot be ruled out that Fellow Daoist Tian is attempting to establish his foundation at the age of one hundred, which would be too risky, and he might suffer serious injuries and even die if he fails.

Or perhaps they encounter some unexpected event, such as being sought revenge by enemies or suffering misfortune.

For a lone cultivator without any background, being at the bottom of the cultivation world, anything can happen.

"Uncle Lin, Grandpa might not be coming back..."

When Lin Changsheng asked him about it, Tian Fu's eyes were red, and he spoke softly.

"Tell me in detail what happened."

Lin Changsheng glanced at Tian Fu, whose face was full of sorrow, and guessed that what happened back then might not be so simple.

"Uncle Lin, my grandfather had a fortuitous encounter on the outskirts of an ancient cultivator's cave. He invited a few friends to explore it further, and entrusted me to this care to prevent any unforeseen circumstances..."

While shedding tears, Tian Fu recounted everything that had happened back then.

It turns out that back then, Fellow Daoist Tian accidentally discovered the ruins of an ancient cultivator and obtained some opportunities in the surrounding area.

This is the origin of Lin Changsheng's medical lineage.

Because one person's abilities are limited, Daoist Natian told this secret to several other friends, and they agreed to explore the ruins together.

To prevent any accidents from happening within the ruins, this Daoist Tian made many inquiries and found Lin Changsheng, who was compatible with the medical lineage and had a good reputation, and entrusted him to his grandson.

Upon learning of this, Lin Changsheng suddenly understood, and felt both amused and exasperated.

It seems that Fellow Daoist Natian still doesn't trust himself.

The so-called attempt to break through to the Foundation Establishment realm was nothing more than a way to 'intimidate' oneself.

If he were to mistreat Tian Fu, he would have to worry that a Foundation Establishment cultivator might return at any time to cause trouble.

A moment later, Tian Fu ran into the house, rummaged around for a bit, and came out holding a crumpled, simple map. He carefully handed it to Lin Changsheng.

"Grandpa said if he didn't return within a year, I should give the map to Uncle Lin to obtain resources, but I wanted to stay by Uncle Lin's side, so I never mentioned it..."

Tian Fu hesitated, and said somewhat guiltily.

Lin Changsheng took the map, his eyes scanning the locations marked by hand, and a wave of emotion washed over him.

According to the map, it was indeed a site of Buddhist ruins, located approximately on the northern border of the Yue Kingdom.

On the map, there is also a mark left by Daoist Tian, ​​suggesting that there may be a wisp of earth vein energy within the ruins!

That's a Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object that's on par with Foundation Establishment Pills, used to assist in the breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment realm!

Despite the difficulties, Daoist Tian was willing to take some risks to go and explore.

"Tian Fu, if the ruins on this map really exist, they are indeed very valuable. Are you sure you want to give this map to me?"

Lin Changsheng folded the map and looked at the anxious Tian Fu in front of him with great interest.

Tian Fu was young and of average talent, but he was clever and quick-witted, and his thoughtfulness and service made Lin Changsheng very satisfied.

It's only natural to conceal the fact that these ruins exist.

“Uncle Lin, I’ve grown up by your side ever since Grandpa passed away. This map was originally meant for you. I planned to take it out someday when you asked me to leave…”

Tian Fu raised his head, his face streaked with tears, and looked at Lin Changsheng with sincere eyes.

"Alright, I'll accept this picture for now. You'll stay by my side as an apprentice from now on. Although I'm not as skilled as your grandfather, I can still protect you."

Seeing that Tian Fu was unwilling to leave, Lin Changsheng thought for a moment and then readily agreed.

Regardless of whether the ruins are real or fake, Lin Changsheng will naturally not verify them in the short term, keeping it as a backup plan.

When you advance to the tenth level of Qi Condensation and begin your attempt to break through to the Foundation Establishment realm, if you fail to gather enough Foundation Establishment spiritual items and find yourself in a desperate situation, then it's not too late to risk going out and explore.

The value of earth vein energy lies in the fact that, in addition to aiding in the breakthrough of Foundation Establishment, it is also an indispensable material for refining some exquisite magical artifacts.

In comparison, the Foundation Establishment Pill, a pill specifically formulated for those attempting to establish their foundation, is far more effective.

In addition to rewarding Tian Fu, who voluntarily provided information about the ruins, Lin Changsheng also selected a decent cultivation technique from the memories of 'True Poison Master' and taught it to him.

Tian Fu and He Yun were different, even though they both served under him.

The latter belonged to the Xi Danhe family, while the former was truly one of their own.

……

In the following days, Lin Changsheng did not immediately go into seclusion.

Instead, he took the opportunity to relax for two days, draw some talismans, check the specific strength of the Crimson Centipede that had advanced to the late stage of the first rank, relax his mind and body, and do whatever he wanted.

Upon learning that Lin Changsheng had emerged from seclusion, his friend Xu Qinghuan immediately dropped everything and rushed back from the market.

That very afternoon, they couldn't wait to visit him with their children.

"Niece He Jiayu greets Uncle Lin!"

"Nephew He Jiabao kowtows to Uncle Lin!"

Xu Qinghuan's two children are now six or seven years old. They have inherited their parents' excellent genes and are as beautiful as orchids and jade trees, and as lovely as the bright moon in their arms.

With such a formal visit, Lin Changsheng, as an elder, naturally couldn't be stingy.

Even though he was short of spirit stones, he still gave ten spirit stones to his nephew and niece respectively.

After exchanging pleasantries, Lin Changsheng learned that Xu Qinghuan had sent her eldest son, 'Xu Xian,' who had no spiritual roots, back to the mortal world to fulfill his filial duties to his elderly elders.

It can be considered another form of 'returning to one's roots'.

Lin Changsheng vaguely remembered that Xu Qinghuan was quite wealthy in his secular family. The eldest son, who carried his father's dream of cultivating immortality, was named 'Xu Xian'. However, he had no spiritual roots. It was not a bad result that he was sent to the secular world to live a life of wealth and honor.

As for Xu Qinghuan's visit, it was to have her two children become Lin Changsheng's apprentices and learn the art of talisman making.

Xu Qinghuan, a longtime friend, knew all too well how valuable the art of talisman making was.
