Steady Mortal Path: Starting from Obtaining the Golden Core Inheritance

Lin Changsheng, with a slightly cold expression, received the people from the Haolian Chamber of Commerce who had come to visit.

This time, it wasn't Hao Lianchunqiao who came, but a young man in the mid-stage of Qi Condensation.

Upon meeting Lin Changsheng, he respectfully handed over an envelope.

"Master Lin, our Chamber of Commerce will be holding an auction in half a month, and we would like to extend our invitation to Master Lin to participate."

Upon learning the purpose of their visit, Lin Changsheng realized that he had been overthinking things out of a guilty conscience.

As his cultivation improved and the reputation of 'Lin's Medical Talisman' for its honesty and integrity spread, he had already established himself in Thousand Crane Immortal City and was no longer the unknown newcomer he once was.

These large chambers of commerce are concerned about their reputation, so even if they want to suppress us, they won't do it too obviously.

Accept the invitation and see the visitors off.

Lin Changsheng returned to the house.

In addition to the invitation, a letter from Hao Lianchunqiao was also sent.

The letter began by congratulating Lin Changsheng on his prosperous business and abundant wealth, but did not mention anything else.

They then explained that there would be some well-located booths during the auction to display special items.

He hoped that Lin Changsheng would create some high-end, exquisite, and special talismans, so that if he was lucky, he could make a small profit.

At the same time, it will enhance its reputation in Thousand Crane Immortal City.

"Is this Fellow Daoist Hao Lian really so kind?"

Lin Changsheng read the letter carefully twice from beginning to end, but he still had some doubts.

But what Hao Lianchunqiao said was indeed quite beneficial to him.

Lin Changsheng silently noted down the date of the auction, planning to go and take a look.

After years of making talismans and practicing medicine, Lin Changsheng has accumulated considerable wealth. While he wouldn't dare say he's comparable to some large families, he is far more wealthy than ordinary Qi Condensation cultivators.

Based on the current progress of cultivation, it is expected that he will be able to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm within the next twenty years!

Since it is unlikely that they would venture out to seek opportunities, the auctions of major merchant guilds are the best way to collect Foundation Establishment spiritual items.

……

Over the next few days, Lin Changsheng spent his time in the house organizing some of his finest magical talismans.

Currently, his actual talisman-making skills are sufficient to create second-tier low-grade talismans.

Its power is roughly equivalent to that of a senior Foundation Establishment cultivator casting a spell.

This is also the limit that Lin Changsheng can currently activate the talisman.

Second-tier spell runes are extremely powerful, but have a higher activation threshold.

Not only does it require a spiritual strength commensurate with the Foundation Establishment stage, but it also requires pure mana.

Under normal circumstances, only cultivators who have reached the peak of the tenth level of Qi Condensation can barely activate a 'quasi-second-tier' talisman.

However, Lin Changsheng received the memory inheritance of 'Heavenly Poison True Man' from a young age, which honed his energy and gave him a naturally strong divine sense.

His spiritual sense is now slightly inferior to that of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, but slightly higher than that of an ordinary Qi Condensation level 10 cultivator.

In addition, the "Eternal Spring of the Withered Tree" technique has a refined and unique magical power, making it not difficult to activate a second-tier low-grade magic talisman.

Therefore, Lin Changsheng had already drawn a complete set of second-tier low-grade magic talismans for himself.

These include functions such as attack, defense, escape, control, and breaking restrictions.

With this set of talismans in hand, Lin Changsheng was confident that he could easily escape even if he encountered an ordinary early Foundation Establishment cultivator.

……

That day, Lin Changsheng was drawing talismans for the auction a few days later when he suddenly felt the restrictions outside the house being activated.

With a slight distraction, the talisman pen in his hand trembled slightly, and a fluctuating magical power emanated from the talisman paper on the table—a sign that the talisman-making was about to fail.

Fortunately, Lin Changsheng calmed himself down and stabilized his breathing in time, managing to pull the talisman-making attempt back from the brink of failure.

After a short while, a pattern containing a pale purple, violent aura appeared on the talisman paper.

The 'Lightning Strike Talisman' is a second-tier special spell talisman. Although it has some minor flaws, it does not affect its normal use.

Lin Changsheng accepted the talisman with satisfaction and then scanned the courtyard with his divine sense through the outside of the house.

However, they discovered that besides Tian Fu, there was also a strange young man with a slightly uneasy expression.

"Tian Fu always knows what's important and what's not. He would never disturb himself while practicing his skills or making talismans unless it was something important."

Lin Changsheng, puzzled, opened the door and came out.

"Uncle Lin, there are some important matters that need to be reported in person, so I had no choice but to interrupt your seclusion."

Tian Fu observed that although Uncle Lin's expression was normal, he could tell from some details he had observed over the years that Uncle Lin was probably at a critical point in making talismans or cultivating.

His face showed a hint of unease and frustration.

"It's alright, go ahead and tell me."

Lin Changsheng spoke gently and reassuringly, without blaming him in the slightest.

Tian Fu breathed a sigh of relief.

The young man beside him observed Lin Changsheng's tone and expression...

These past few days, the Lai Gaoyi couple, who live next door, have been out on business, and there is no one else in the entire courtyard.

Tian Fu stepped forward and whispered a few words in Lin Changsheng's ear.

Then, under Lin Changsheng's slightly surprised gaze, he said to the young man behind him, "Brother Su Qin, this is the Lin Fu Master you wanted to see. You can take out that thing you mentioned without worry, right?"

Upon hearing this, the slightly thin young man in front of him sized up the gentle and refined man in white, and after a moment of struggle in his eyes, he finally seemed to have made up his mind.

"I've heard that Master Lin is an upright and righteous person, and seeing him today confirms it. I, Su Qin, have a second-tier talisman master's inheritance that I wish to offer to Master Lin, which can be considered a blessing for the rogue cultivators of our Thousand Crane Immortal City."

As he spoke, the young man named Su Qin carefully took out an exquisite jade slip from his bosom, presented it with both hands, and treated it as a precious treasure.

Just as Lin Changsheng was feeling surprised, he suddenly sensed a faint sense of threat.

This threatening aura originated from within the young Su Qin.

Lin Changsheng was surprised, but he silently circulated his internal energy and carefully sensed the sensation.

Under his keen perception, Lin Changsheng was surprised to discover that the young man actually possessed a wisp of incomplete divine consciousness.

Although this wisp of divine consciousness was incomplete and weak, it could instantly unleash power equivalent to that of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

"This child possesses a hidden destiny!"

Lin Changsheng instantly understood.

This young man must have obtained the inheritance of a senior through some unknown opportunity, but it is inherently very dangerous for a rogue cultivator with no background to possess such a treasure.

Perhaps he had learned of his reputation for being kind to others and offered up the legacy of a second-tier talisman master to find a foothold in Thousand Crane Immortal City.

After all, the path of cultivation is not something you can just find a wild mountain, dig out a cave, and start cultivating in peace.

Spiritual veins, resources, treasures, cultivation techniques, and background are all indispensable.

The Su Qin before me is somewhat similar to the way I did back then when I joined Wu Fushi's school in Huangling Market.

"Oh? We've never met before, just strangers passing by. And you're offering a second-tier talisman master's inheritance on our first meeting? If this second-tier inheritance is genuine, does Fellow Daoist Su know its value?"

Lin Changsheng was wary, but outwardly he appeared interested and did not rush to take the jade slip.
