Steady Mortal Path: Starting from Obtaining the Golden Core Inheritance

Seeing this scene, Lin Changsheng felt a strange look in his eyes and glanced at the skinny monkey without leaving a trace.

The usually shrewd and cunning skinny monkey seemed indifferent to his wife Lü Yan's unusual behavior.

"Brother Lin looks quite young. Not only does he have the cultivation level of the late stage of Qi Condensation, but he also possesses such skills. He is truly a promising young man."

Lü Yan's voice was gentle and beautiful, a stark contrast to her initial conversation with the skinny monkey.

"I am now in my forties, but I am merely a physician who pays attention to health maintenance and is skilled in cultivating inner strength. Let's talk about the matter of renting the shop."

Although Lin Changsheng was puzzled, he remained outwardly calm and said...

"So Brother Lin is already forty years old! I believe Brother Lin is already familiar with my shop. Although the location is not very good, the rent is cheap, only one hundred and twenty spirit stones per month, so it is almost impossible to lose money. In addition, there is an attic on the second floor of the shop. As long as Brother Lin does not mind that the spiritual energy is a little thin, it can solve the problem of living."

Lu Yan was slightly taken aback, then stretched out a fair and delicate arm in front of Lin Changsheng and gently shook her soft and boneless fingers to start calculating the accounts.

A faint, delicate fragrance wafts towards you.

"Yan'er, Brother Lin is new here and doesn't have many spirit stones. Give him a discount; the shop is just sitting idle anyway."

Before Lin Changsheng could speak, the skinny monkey next to him took the initiative to speak up.

Finally, after being 'persuaded' by the skinny monkey, Lü Yan looked at Lin Changsheng with tenderness and agreed to spend one hundred spirit stones.

After Lin Changsheng agreed, he decided to lease the property for six months first.

Lü Yan immediately produced a 'lease agreement'. After Lin Changsheng signed and sealed it, both the skinny monkey and Lü Yan signed it together and paid 600 spirit stones before it became effective.

Afterwards, Lin Changsheng politely declined Lü Yan's warm invitation to stay and returned to the shop with Shouhou.

"I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Fellow Daoist Lin. My wife wasn't originally from this area. When we became Daoist partners, I was a bit soft-hearted and changed the deeds to joint ownership of both properties. Who knew that after she got to know the locals, she looked down on me..."

The skinny monkey looked bitter and said helplessly.

Lin Changsheng could only offer a comforting glance at the skinny monkey without saying anything more.

Although Lü Yan could not be considered a stunning beauty, she was still of above-average looks. Back then, the skinny monkey must have been lusting after her beauty.

As a female cultivator, the fact that she was willing to marry a skinny monkey with a hunched back and a hunched neck who had no skills meant that she had her eye on his property in Thousand Crane Immortal City.

One party is willing to give, and the other is willing to receive; Lin Changsheng has no desire to get involved.

After delivering Lin Changsheng to the shop, Skinny Monkey's mission for the day was complete.

As previously agreed, Lin Changsheng paid the thin monkey the remaining three spirit stones for the guide fee, as well as sixty spirit stones for the 'negotiation' fee.

……

Finally, I have a place of my own to settle down.

Although I lived in a detached house in the He family's house before, I was still living under someone else's roof and it wasn't as comfortable as living on my own land.

After seeing the skinny monkey off, Lin Changsheng closed the door and looked around the shop.

The space wasn't very large, and there was a faint smell of decaying wood in the air.

Lin Changsheng first checked the central hub of the isolation array within the shop. After confirming that everything was in order, he took out a spirit stone, placed it inside, and instantly activated it.

An invisible barrier enveloped the entire shop.

If an outsider accidentally touches the array, the central hub will send out an unusual warning.

Then Lin Changsheng used water-attribute magic to wash the entire interior of the shop.

Upon reaching the second-floor attic, Lin Changsheng continuously took out frequently used items that he had prepared in advance from his storage bag.

Finally, he took out paper and pen and sent letters to several of his friends, explaining that he now planned to settle down in Thousand Crane Immortal City.

At the same time, Lin Changsheng also sent a letter to Xi Danhe's family to resign.

It seems that after the He family acquired that child talisman master, they probably didn't care so much about him, a half-baked 'high-grade talisman master'.

After some consideration, Lin Changsheng sent a letter to Tian Fu, who had followed him for many years.

The message included an address and stated that the person planned to cultivate and develop in Qianhe Immortal City in the future. They persuaded Tian Fu to stay with the He family, promising to speak with Xu Qinghuan and He Liangcai and take care of him.

If the latter is willing, they can also take the initiative to seek them out.

This can also be considered a small test of Tian Fu's loyalty.

If the other party's will to follow is not strong enough, they might simply go with the flow and stay with the He family.

But if they travel a long way to find us, then they have passed this test and can be used as our own people.

Whether to stay or leave is entirely up to this child.

……

After settling in, Lin Changsheng prepared to proceed with his next plan.

Make a name for yourself in Thousand Crane Immortal City.

I learned from the skinny monkey that there is a rule for doing business in talismans here: you cannot own two shops within a thousand feet at the same time.

If such disruptive behavior occurs, it will be met with unanimous exclusion from peers, and even suppliers of talisman-making materials will unite to boycott it.

In addition, every talisman master or merchant who makes a living by selling talismans will use some special talismans to make their shop famous and attract customers.

Because the talismans in the shop are all commonplace, they are unlikely to attract customers' attention.

However, such special talisman inheritances are often very rare. If there is no memory inheritance, even someone like Lin Changsheng, who has served as a retainer in the Xi Danhe family for nearly twenty years, would only receive an ordinary inheritance.

Over the next two days, Lin Changsheng quietly observed several fellow vendors selling talismans in the northern part of the city and even bought a few talismans along the way.

After examining the items, he finally decided to temporarily use two types of first-tier mid-grade talismans, the 'Rejuvenation Talisman' and the 'Qi Recovery Talisman,' to open up the market for mid- and low-level Qi Condensation cultivators.

In fact, similar healing and recovery talismans, though rare, are sold in the northern part of the city.

However, the therapeutic effect is only about half that of Lin Changsheng's 'Rejuvenation Talisman'.

As for the mana-restoring talisman, it's not much different from the mana-restoring talisman. The only difference is in the crafting technique, which results in a slightly different effect.

Three days later.

In a secluded alley in the northern part of Qianhe Immortal City.

A small shop called 'Lin's Medical Talisman' quietly opened.

Occasionally, a monk in a hurry would pass by, only glancing at the secluded little shop with slight surprise.

Half a month after opening, Lin Changsheng had not sold a single magic talisman.

Even Lin Changsheng, who was full of confidence in his talismans, felt a little anxious.

On the twenty-ninth day after opening, a travel-worn young man appeared in the alley, looking as if he were searching for something.

"Uncle Lin, I've finally found you!"

This young man was none other than Tian Fu, who resolutely left the Xi Danhe family on the very day he received Lin Changsheng's letter.

"Why did you come in such a hurry, child..."

Seeing Tian Fu, who had lost a lot of weight but was crying tears of joy, Lin Changsheng was slightly moved.

……

"Uncle Lin, I'm going out! I heard there are quite a few cultivators setting up stalls in the eastern part of the city, I'm going to join the fun!"

The next morning, Tian Fu, carrying a wooden box full of talismans on his back, waved vigorously at Lin Changsheng before turning and running towards the east of the city…
