Steady Mortal Path: Starting from Obtaining the Golden Core Inheritance

It was late at night, and the moon and stars were few.

After a hearty meal and drinks, the four men reeked of alcohol, their spiritual energy dissipating from their bodies.

This is the perfect time for the spirit wine to take effect.

Lin Changsheng took the opportunity to say goodbye and returned to his room to refine the spirit wine and consolidate his cultivation level.

Only after closing the door did I feel the burning gaze behind me gradually disappear.

It must be said that the woman named Lan Yingying's attire and demeanor today do match the image of her ideal partner.

Unfortunately, this woman was somewhat affected and pretentious, seemingly doing so deliberately to please him.

Furthermore, Lin Changsheng was very perceptive and sensed the mixed aura of many men on Lan Yingying, not just one.

Even among these scents, there was a subtle hint of Lai Gaoyi's aroma.

This is something that Na Siya probably doesn't even know.

Given Si Ya's previous identity as a prostitute, it's likely that her so-called good friend Lan Yingying is probably also a colleague.

Having lived in Thousand Crane Immortal City for several years, Lin Changsheng spent most of his time in seclusion cultivating, but he still knew a thing or two about the ins and outs of the place.

Women of the night like Si Ya and Lan Yingying, whose cultivation levels are not low, often have affairs with male cultivators, but they cannot just casually have sex with any man who comes along and spends some spirit stones.

These women typically only serve wealthy cultivators from powerful clans, or even Foundation Establishment cultivators…

Although they sell their bodies, they do not give up on themselves; on the contrary, they have the great principles in their hearts.

In order to cultivate oneself, one must strive and forge ahead.

In addition to receiving spirit stones, they would stay at the male cultivator's residence for a few days after each transaction to cultivate themselves; this was an unwritten rule in their industry.

Therefore, if a Foundation Establishment cultivator needs them, these women will rush to their aid.

After serving the Foundation Establishment Master to a satisfactory degree, one will have the opportunity to cultivate within the second-tier spiritual vein's training ground, which will greatly benefit oneself.

But such good opportunities are rare.

Most of the time, they would wait around the 'B' grade courtyards in the west of the city, looking for an opportunity.

If they encounter a suitable male cultivator, they can even live together without charging any spirit stones, just to enjoy the spiritual veins of a 'B' grade courtyard for free.

This woman has made careful preparations to get closer to me today; it seems she intends to team up with me.

This was largely due to the help of his neighbor, Siya.

Only by telling Lan Yingying about his personality and temperament can she accurately cater to her preferences.

Lin Changsheng knew perfectly well that what this woman valued was the cultivation environment of this 'B' grade courtyard, not his charm.

If he were to change his lodging to a 'C' grade courtyard, even if he begged her with spirit stones, she would refuse him without hesitation.

She wouldn't lower her worth for petty gains.

Although Lin Changsheng didn't view these women with prejudice, he kept his distance from them.

Getting involved with these women, especially these female cultivators with complicated social circles, will inevitably lead to trouble.

Outside the hospital.

"What a pity. This Master Lin was clearly somewhat tempted today, but he didn't give me any chance. It seems that he is truly a person who cultivates diligently."

Lan Yingying looked at the closed door, her soft voice tinged with regret.

"It seems my sister's time hasn't come yet. This Master Lin is always kind and gentle, not only is he a master of both medicine and talismans, but he also devotes himself to cultivation. In the past five years, he has never had any romantic relationships. He is truly an excellent candidate to be a Daoist partner..."

Si Ya's charming eyes also showed a hint of surprise, and she couldn't help but sigh.

Upon hearing his wife so openly praise other men, Lai Gaoyi's eyes revealed a hint of displeasure.

"Ya'er, tomorrow we need to deliver the refined magical artifacts to a few small families in the suburbs. I'm still refining some minerals and can't get away, so I'll have to trouble you to make the trip in the next few days."

Lai Gaoyi suddenly seemed to remember something and instructed his Daoist companion, Si Ya.

As he spoke, he subtly gave a hint to Lan Yingying beside him.

Looking at the girl's pure and lovely appearance today, Lai Gaoyi's eyes revealed a hint of passion.

But after meeting Lin Changsheng today, Lan Yingying's thoughts were filled with this gentle and kind young man. She suddenly recalled the figure of her childhood sweetheart when she first entered the world of cultivation many years ago, and completely ignored Lai Gaoyi's hints.

Upon seeing this, the latter looked towards Lin Changsheng's residence, a hint of sinister intent appearing in his eyes…

……

Lin Changsheng, who had just entered the house, was completely unaware of the conversation among the others. He simply entered a meditative state, refining and absorbing the remaining alcohol in his body to nourish his physical form.

In recent years, in addition to his rapid increase in magical power, Lin Changsheng has not relaxed his efforts in body training.

He usually makes talismans and practices medicine, and uses much of the resources he earns to buy rare and precious materials to nourish his body.

Lin Changsheng's body refinement realm is now approaching the mid-stage of the first level.

However, since his cultivation level has just advanced to the eighth level of Qi Condensation, he needs some time to stabilize it, so he has to postpone his breakthrough to the mid-stage of the first level of Body Refinement.

A few days later, once his cultivation had completely stabilized, Lin Changsheng left the city with his spirit beast pouch.

Just a few miles outside the city, Lin Changsheng took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention and quietly released the Crimson Centipede from the bag.

A faint fluctuation of demonic energy emanated from the earth and quickly disappeared underground.

Lin Changsheng then strolled around Thousand Crane Immortal City at a leisurely pace.

The Crimson Centipede is a demonic insect. Although its wild nature has been suppressed, it is not conducive to the insect's growth if it is constantly confined in the spirit beast pouch and cannot be released.

Therefore, every now and then, Lin Changsheng would take some time to come outside the city and let the Crimson Centipede out for some fresh air.

Unfortunately, Qi Condensation cultivators in Thousand Crane Immortal City can only rent small courtyards and are not yet qualified to have their own independent cultivation grounds.

To protect the spiritual veins, the courtyards within the city are protected by numerous complex arrays and restrictions, making them unsuitable for the Crimson Centipede to roam.

Fortunately, each time Lin Changsheng went out, he only let the Crimson Centipede go out on its own, and he himself would not stray far from Thousand Crane Immortal City, so there was not much risk.

Under Lin Changsheng's orders, the Crimson Centipede did not dare to harm human cultivators. Instead, it burrowed into the outer perimeter of the Wanfeng Mountains to catch some demonic insects and beasts for a meal.

After wandering around for most of the hour, Lin Changsheng casually strolled through a gathering of low-level cultivators outside the city.

Suddenly, he felt a strange movement coming from the token in his sleeve that controlled the Crimson Centipede.

Lin Changsheng sensed a suppressed emotion of anger.

"not good!"

Lin Changsheng immediately unleashed a powerful aura, and after patting his storage bag, the exquisite and small magic artifact, the Willow Leaf Shuttle, expanded in the wind, carrying its master away into the distance.

This sudden commotion astonished the group of low- to mid-level Qi Condensation cultivators nearby.

……

"Quick, it's over there!"

"Don't let that tiger escape!"

"It stole the 'jackdaw' that we had been hunting so hard."

Five or six young cultivators shouted excitedly.

The most powerful of the youths, at the sixth level of Qi Condensation, held a pair of fine iron gauntlets wrapped with a black metal wire.

The metal wire was taut and straight, with one end extending deep into the ground and moving at high speed.

"Although I couldn't see clearly what kind of demonic insect it was, judging from its proficiency in escape techniques, it must be extremely valuable!"

The cultivators said excitedly as they chased after them.

Only the young man at the sixth level of Qi Condensation felt the force transmitted through the black silk thread in his hand, and a hint of worry appeared on his face.
