Steady Mortal Path: Starting from Obtaining the Golden Core Inheritance

Return to Thousand Crane Immortal City.

Lin Changsheng immediately instructed Tian Fu to buy a higher-quality spirit beast bag.

Used to house the Crimson Centipede that has advanced to the second tier.

The spirit beast pouch not only provides spiritual energy from heaven and earth for demon beasts, but also has the effect of concealing their aura.

As the strength of the demon beasts increases, the quality of the spirit beast pouches will not keep up, which will affect the efficiency of the demon beasts in absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and will also make it easy for them to leak their aura and be detected by other cultivators.

As for the original spirit beast pouch, it was used specifically to house the snow demon wolf cubs.

I haven't been home for a long time.

Thousand Crane Immortal City was as bustling as ever.

Lin Changsheng joined the crowd and walked towards 'Fulin Garden'.

Who would have thought that this seemingly young man in white would possess a second-tier demonic beast, a being comparable to a Foundation Establishment cultivator?

……

This was learned from Tian Fu's report.

Master Wu and Master Hu, the two old brothers, chose a location as their shop.

It's not far from Lin Changsheng's shop, but it's located closer to the main street.

It's called 'Fine Talisman Shop'.

It is said that the two argued over the order of the characters "Dan" and "Fu" on the plaque, and neither was willing to give in.

In the end, Hu Danshi agreed to pay more of the shop rent before Wu Fushi would concede.

"Uncle Lin, recently that skinny monkey has thought he's gotten on the good side of Master Wu and Master Hu, and he's asking for a rent increase for his shop."

Without letting personal feelings interfere, Tian Fu truthfully reported what had happened recently.

"It's alright. The rent on this street has gone up in the past few years. Fellow Daoist Hou has already done more than enough by maintaining the original rent for several years. Also, you can promote the 'Fine Pill Talisman Shop' appropriately, but don't let it affect our own reputation. You can decide this matter yourself."

Lin Changsheng didn't mind when he heard this and explained with a smile.

……

Back at Fulin Garden Courtyard.

Li Suxin is cleaning the yard.

During the time Lin Changsheng was away, he taught this woman the method of creating a barrier to enter the courtyard.

Every few days, Li Suxin would come to clean the house, and occasionally she would stop to cultivate.

The courtyards of Grade B are rich in spiritual energy, and even a short stay of a few days can be quite beneficial to a mid-stage Qi Condensation cultivator.

"Uncle Lin, these are all recent letters."

Li Suxin obediently took out a stack of letters and said in a clear voice.

Lin Changsheng nodded, took the letter, and suddenly glanced at his niece a couple more times.

"You took the 'Youth Preservation Pill'?"

Sensing a slight anomaly in the woman's magical power, Lin Changsheng asked curiously.

The Youth-Preserving Pill is a special elixir that, when taken regularly, can significantly slow down the aging process of a cultivator's appearance.

It is one of the few types of pills that cannot assist in cultivation, but are still very popular.

She was especially popular among female monks.

However, this elixir has a certain impact on one's magical power, especially in the first few days after taking it, which can cause one's magical power to become somewhat dissipated.

"Um…"

The girl was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and two blushes appeared on her face. She nodded shyly.

"You are still young, there is no need to rush to take this pill. You should focus your resources on improving your own cultivation level."

Lin Changsheng paused for a moment, then offered a reminder.

Li Suxin is the daughter of the eldest daughter and her own niece.

As an elder, Lin Changsheng felt that he should guide and urge his niece to focus on cultivation.

“Uncle Lin, this ‘Youth-Preserving Pill’ was brought over by the Merchant Guild on my mother’s behalf…”

Li Suxin was worried that Uncle Lin would misunderstand that she had wasted the spirit stones, so she timidly tried to explain.

He sighed inwardly, thinking that this Uncle Lin was indeed only interested in cultivation and knew nothing about women's feelings.

If you use the Youth Preservation Elixir as early as possible, you can freeze your appearance at the age of eighteen or nineteen.

In comparison, the slight delay in cultivation progress has little impact.

"Yes, if you don't have enough for your daily cultivation needs, go to Tian Fu for more."

Lin Changsheng nodded and stopped trying to persuade him.

Since it was a mother's heartfelt wish, he naturally wouldn't try to dissuade her.

Perhaps knowing that he might not be able to have children in the future, Lin Changsheng took better care of his niece, Li Suxin.

……

Back in the house, Lin Changsheng began to examine the recent letters.

The first thing that catches the eye is a line of neat handwriting—a letter from Su Xuyan.

"This woman actually left me a letter?"

Out of curiosity, Lin Changsheng opened the book and began reading.

It turned out that during the time he was protecting the Crimson Centipede as it advanced in its cultivation, Su Xuyan visited him twice, but both times she came up empty-handed.

Before returning to his master's sect at Shangqing Palace, he left a letter.

The message was simple, expressing gratitude to Lin Changsheng for his help.

She promised that if needed in the future, she could write to her at Shangqing Palace.

In addition, they hoped that Lin Changsheng would keep the previous transaction a secret.

The woman did not mention the details of the transaction in the letter.

But Lin Changsheng knew perfectly well what was going on.

The Primordial Spirit Ginseng, a spiritual substance capable of refining Foundation Establishment Pills, has always been strictly controlled by major powers.

Even if the other party didn't say it, Lin Changsheng wouldn't go around bragging that he possessed the Hunyuan Spirit Ginseng, such a treasure.

Finally, Su Xuyan mentioned in her letter that if she needed to find a trustworthy second-tier alchemist who could refine Foundation Establishment Pills in the future, she could help contact Nangong Qingtan.

Lin Changsheng closed the letter; he had a good impression of the woman.

Despite being a disciple of a major sect, he was humble and approachable, without being arrogant or looking down on independent cultivators.

If given the opportunity, try to cultivate a good relationship.

When I go to the area around Shangqing Palace in the future, I will have some acquaintances there.

I wonder what Su Xuyan's reaction would be if she knew that the magical beast's advancement artifact had ended up in her hands.

In truth, the one who gained the most opportunities during this trip to the Wanfeng Mountains was Lin Changsheng himself.

In addition to advancing the Crimson Centipede to the second tier.

They also obtained a Snow Demon Wolf cub.

That night in the cave, Lin Changsheng discovered a second-tier demon core inside the body of a second-tier snow demon wolf that had been killed.

Unfortunately, the remaining second-tier snow demon wolves all ended up inside Nangong Hongzhi's third-tier demon python.

The second letter came from the Qinglan Sect.

The content is an invitation from Scholar Zhang.

Scholar Zhang had been preparing for the recent trial in the 'Mirror Mist Forbidden Land' for many years.

Especially with the support of his good friend Lin Changsheng, who provided a full set of magical talismans, he gained a great opportunity.

They collected a lot of rare and precious materials, handed them over to the sect, and directly exchanged them for a Foundation Establishment Pill.

Having entered the 'Mirror Mist Forbidden Land' twice, Zhang Xiucai's magical power was tempered and became extremely solid.

After leaving the forbidden area, he went straight back to his sect to cultivate in seclusion, and within a few years he broke through to the peak of Qi Condensation.

After two years of consolidation, Zhang Xiucai attempted a breakthrough, which went very smoothly. A month ago, he officially entered the Foundation Establishment realm and became a true Foundation Establishment Master!

In addition to thanking Lin Changsheng for his strong support, the letter also invited him to the Qinglan Sect to participate in the Foundation Establishment Ceremony.

Furthermore, the letter subtly mentioned that there were other important matters to discuss.

"Foundation Building Realm!"

Lin Changsheng was somewhat taken aback, but also happy for his old friend.

The higher the latter's status in the Qinglan Sect, the greater the help it will be to their future cooperation.

Lin Changsheng was not surprised that Zhang Xiucai was able to advance to the Foundation Establishment stage.

He was in his prime, full of vitality and energy, and his cultivation progressed without much stagnation.

However, in just a few years, he advanced from the ninth level of Qi Condensation to the tenth level and successfully established his foundation.

It seems that my friend has another opportunity.

Lin Changsheng analyzed it to himself.
