Steady Mortal Path: Starting from Obtaining the Golden Core Inheritance

Half a day later, Zhang Xiucai refused Lin Changsheng's offer to stay and took his leave.

He still had to prepare for the 'Mirror Mist Forbidden Land', and Lin Changsheng knew this perfectly well, so he didn't try to stop him.

"Brother Lin, Senior Sister Lin Xiurong asked me to pass on a message: she has now voluntarily entered a remote and harsh place within the sect to cultivate and temper her will. There is no need to take her words from back then to heart, and Master Qin Yue will not come looking for trouble for you, Brother Lin."

Before leaving, Zhang Xiucai carefully considered his words and mentioned it once.

Lin Changsheng nodded slightly upon hearing this, his expression not changing much. He simply clasped his hands and said, "The road ahead is long. I wish Brother Shangwen a fruitful trip to the forbidden area."

"The road ahead is long and arduous; may Brother Lin's journey to immortality be long and prosperous..."

……

On this day, neighbor Si Ya brought over a jar of fifty-year-old first-grade spirit wine.

"The life of a talisman master like Lin is truly boring. He spends all day cooped up in his room making talismans and cultivating. What's the point of living like that for tens of millions of years?"

Si Ya spoke in a charming and gentle tone, with an unintentional hint of provocation.

Ever since he rejected Lan Yingying last time, Si Ya has always mentioned her whenever they meet.

"Thank you for the wine, Fellow Daoist Si Ya. I have nothing of value to offer, so I will return the favor with these few magic talismans."

Lin Changsheng remained unmoved, speaking politely but without any romantic understanding.

Seeing Lin Changsheng's insistence on exchanging the spirit wine for the magic talisman, Si Ya looked at him with resentment and spat out, "What a blockhead."

After watching Si Ya leave, Lin Changsheng checked the spirit wine in the jar and, after confirming that there was no problem, put it into his storage bag.

After bidding against Lai Gaoyi at the auction that day, he refused Lai's request to privately purchase some of the Illusionary Heart Sand.

Although the two explained things clearly, their relationship was only superficially harmonious; in reality, they each harbored resentment.

Furthermore, Lai Gaoyi frequently tormented and abused his wife, Si Ya, late at night. This secret naturally could not be kept from their neighbor, Lin Changsheng.

He always felt that Lai Gaoyi was narrow-minded and twisted, and not suitable for close friendship.

……

A few days later, Lin Changsheng, who had been waiting for a long time, finally received a reply from the Nangong family.

The letter was written by Jiang Tian, ​​whom he had met once years ago.

In the letter, Jiang Tian was extremely warm and familiar with Lin Changsheng, and warmly welcomed him to Qianhe Immortal City after leaving Xi Danhe's family.

Lin Changsheng naturally did not believe this.

Back then, I was just a talisman maker from a small family, so naturally I couldn't catch the eye of Jiang Tian, ​​a disciple of a 'quasi-third-tier' weapon refiner.

Regardless, when Jiang Tian learned that he wanted to refine a 'quasi-second-tier' treasure, he immediately agreed and invited Lin Changsheng to the Nangong family to discuss it in person.

Jiang Tian himself is now a 'quasi-second-tier' weapon refiner, and has had the experience of successfully refining 'quasi-second-tier' magic weapons.

Of course, if the refining process is complicated and beyond his ability, he can ask his master for help.

Upon receiving the letter, Lin Changsheng was overjoyed.

If we could really get Jiang Tian's master to help, that would be the best outcome.

Lin Changsheng immediately picked up his pen and wrote back to Jiang Tian.

They agreed to make a formal visit in January.

During this time, Lin Changsheng accelerated his talisman-making process and produced a considerable number of first-tier high-grade talismans.

On this day, an elegant and charming woman of about twenty-six or twenty-seven years old arrived outside the courtyard of Fulin Garden, accompanied by a young girl.

"It's been years, Miss, how have you been..."

Lin Changsheng was somewhat surprised to see who had come.

Now, when we meet again, Miss Li Manting is dignified and quiet, no longer possessing the youthful beauty of her younger days, but with a more mature charm.

However, his cultivation level remained at the seventh level of Qi Condensation, and his magical power increased very little, just as Lin Changsheng had predicted back then.

"Xin'er greets Uncle Lin."

The young lady's daughter, Li Suxin, had grown into a graceful young woman. With delicate eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes, she was playful and cute, her eyes sparkling with a mischievous light. She obediently greeted Lin Changsheng.

"I never imagined Xin'er would grow up so much."

Lin Changsheng couldn't help but sigh.

He cultivated the "Eternal Spring of Withered Tree" and his appearance remained almost unchanged. Even after years of seclusion, he always looked young.

It is only when I reunite with old friends after many years, or meet old acquaintances or their descendants, that I truly feel the passage of time.

They gained a deeper appreciation for the extraordinary nature of the cultivation method they practiced, which enabled them to resist the erosion of time.

Withered trees flourish forever, evergreen...

"Xin'er has grown up, and her mother and uncle have grown old, but Uncle Lin has been able to continuously improve his cultivation. He's practically immortal. It's hard to believe that Uncle Lin is actually older than her mother and uncle..."

Li Suxin stared at Lin Changsheng with curiosity in her eyes.

Although Li Suxin was young, she had already reached the second level of Qi Condensation. She could faintly sense the vibrant energy emanating from her Uncle Lin, which was full of vitality and made her feel close to him.

They were completely unlike those cultivators who used anti-aging drugs and other means to maintain their youthful appearance.

“You are a lively and active girl who doesn’t like cultivation. If you could have half of your Uncle Lin’s tenacity, I would be satisfied.”

Li Manting's voice is gentle and full of affection.

"Miss, you flatter me. Xin'er is a clever and quick-witted girl, quite like you when you were young. She's very likable."

"Seeing an old friend again," Lin Changsheng said in a relaxed tone.

They then invited the mother and daughter into the courtyard.

On this occasion, Miss Li Manting came to visit, not only to catch up with old friends, but also to bring a gift.

It was one of the items originally intended to reward Lin Changsheng, the method for drawing the first-tier special spell talisman 'Purple Rain Talisman'.

“Young Miss, I did not fulfill my request back then, how can I accept such a generous gift?”

Lin Changsheng glanced at what Li Manting was holding and did not accept it.

"It's been so many years since we last met, Lin-ge'er has become quite distant, so formal. My daughter and I don't know how to make talismans, so keeping this is useless to us."

Seeing that Lin Changsheng was reluctant to accept it, the young lady spoke with a slightly reproachful tone, tinged with a hint of teasing.

Her expression seemed to have restored some of the girlishness she once possessed.

"Since Miss insists on giving it to me, I will accept it."

Unable to refuse, Lin Changsheng readily accepted the booklet.

The 'Purple Rain Talisman' is a first-tier wood-attribute special spell talisman with unique healing effects.

With Lin Changsheng's current skill in talisman making, he could roughly judge the effect of the talisman just by looking at the drawing process.

It far surpasses the 'Rejuvenation Talisman' of a mid-grade first rank, and even has some effect on Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Unlike Zhang Xiucai, Miss Li Manting was not in a hurry to leave after arriving in Qianhe Immortal City. Instead, she planned to stay for a few days and take her daughter Li Suxin to experience the prosperity of the place.

Lin Changsheng seemed to have a vague idea of ​​the young lady's purpose for this trip.

However, he did not specify this, but simply fulfilled his duty as a host by taking the mother and daughter on a tour of the immortal city.

At the same time, he asked Skinny Monkey to temporarily rent a small courtyard of Class C for the mother and daughter to stay in.

It was the fifth day.

"Xin'er, your Uncle Lin and I have important matters to discuss today. Go to Brother Tianfu's place. If it gets late, you can stay in the attic of Uncle Lin's shop for now..."

Today, Li Manting wore a gorgeous silk dress and dressed up specially. Her makeup was exquisite, and her slender figure exuded a unique fragrance.
