Chapter 261: The six-winged golden silkworm has advanced to a higher level, and it’s up to you, father!

The Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range was vast and boundless.

Deep within the mountain range, territories were divided and occupied by various demon kings.

Among them was a bottomless and unfathomable Evil Water Pond.

Although called a ‘pond,’ it was more like a deep abyss, a stretch of darkness with immeasurable depth.

A Twin-Headed Poisonous Serpent appeared in this Evil Water Pond at some unknown time.

Subsequently, the Evil Water Pond was also called ‘Poison Dragon Pool’.

At this very moment.

“Lord Poison Dragon!”

A middle-aged man dressed in a black brocade robe arrived before the unfathomable Poison Dragon Pool, took out a verdant water pearl, and respectfully bowed.

“Splash, splash—”

The water of the abyss surged and splashed, and two ferocious heads, each several dozen feet in size, emerged from the water.

Its body was enormous, its scales were cyan-black, and half of its body coiled in the pool, exuding a terrifying and oppressive aura.

Two lantern-sized, emerald green eyes stared at the black-robed man, and a sonorous, hoarse voice came from its mouth: “Human, you have done well. This is your reward!”

As it spoke, a tall corpse, over five meters in height, was thrown out.

This was a humanoid corpse with muscles all over its body like coiling dragons.

However, the corpse’s head was that of an ox, with two jet-black horns on its head, and its legs were like ox hooves, exuding a thick aura.

“A Savage Ox!”

When Xiahou Wuwo saw the corpse, his scarlet eyes revealed a look of surprise.

He immediately bowed to the Twin-Headed Serpent before him and said, “Thank you for your grace, Lord!”

“Human, as long as you do well next, this king will not fail to reward you!”

The Twin-Headed Serpent’s pupils flickered with a ghostly green light, its voice hoarse and sonorous, like the clashing of metal, very eerie.

“Yes, Lord, if there is anything you need, just ask!”

Xiahou Wuwo said so.

“Next, this king will notify you!”

The Twin-Headed Serpent said so.

Then its huge body sank into the pool.

“With this third-order Savage Ox demon corpse, I can refine the ‘Profound Fiend Corpse’. Qingyun Sect, sooner or later, I will make you pay for your blood debt.”

Xiahou Wuwo looked at the corpse in front of him, his eyes full of hatred.

Green Lake Mountain, Puppet Workshop.

“Father, this War Puppet No. 1 has been modified according to your requirements.”

“The arms are engraved with Giant Strength Inscriptions, with a maximum of three thousand pounds of force; the legs are engraved with Speed and Gravity Inscriptions, ensuring stability while maintaining speed; internal spiritual power gathers, blessing the three major rune arrays…”

“Whether equipped with knives, spears, bows, arrows, or shields, all can be done. As you said, simple adjustments can be made, and accessories can be purchased for self-assembly and disassembly.”

Lu Xianzhi looked at the humanoid metal puppet in front of him and introduced it to Lu Changsheng.

Half a year ago, after becoming proficient with the Eagle, Beast, and Humanoid basic puppets, Lu Changsheng had him continue to manufacture three new types of puppets.

War Puppet No. 1, Beast Puppet No. 1, and Bird No. 1.

These were also the three puppets that Lu Changsheng was preparing to put on the market.

However, these three puppets were all mid-tier first-order puppets, with a certain technical content, and mass production was not easy.

During this time, Lu Changsheng also made several optimizations and adjustments based on the actual situation.

Especially War Puppet No. 1.

This puppet combines offense and defense, capable of close combat and long-range attacks, and its manufacturing difficulty is very complex.

In order to achieve mass production, a lot of time was wasted.

“Well, let me see.”

Lu Changsheng looked at the puppet in front of him, then opened the heart-protecting mirror to check the internal inscriptions.

These inscriptions were obviously from the hands of the Golden Armor Bean Soldiers and were very standard.

Immediately, he controlled the puppet’s spiritual pivot through the puppet control technique corresponding to this puppet, and took control.

Forward, backward, jump, flip…

After a brief demonstration, Lu Changsheng had the metal puppet punch himself, and then punched the metal puppet.

The puppet retreated repeatedly, and a concave fist mark appeared on its chest.

However, after stabilizing its retreating steps, the puppet was still able to move.

After a series of tests, the metal puppet was already uneven and unsightly, but Lu Changsheng’s face showed a satisfied smile.

He looked at Lu Xianzhi and nodded, “Now that War Puppet No. 1 can be mass-produced, how long will it take to produce one, and what is the profit?”

“Father, the workshop is currently divided into three production lines. If the War Puppet production line is in full production, it can produce about one puppet every ten days. Including materials and labor, the cost is roughly 180 spirit stones.”

“Currently on the market, the price of mid-tier puppets is between 240 and 300 spirit stones. If our family wants to open up the market, we can only offer low prices in the early stage.”

“Moreover, Father, you mean that our family will not operate on its own for the time being. If we supply goods to the outside world, the price is estimated to be only 200 spirit stones.”

Lu Xianzhi said respectfully.

“The profit is so low, it’s not even as good as a sweatshop.”

Lu Changsheng frowned upon hearing this.

Although he had long known that puppets themselves were sweatshops, earning a little hard-earned money.

But the profit was too low in his opinion.

You know, the time he spent teaching Lu Xianzhi and others on weekdays, and spent in the workshop, would have made a lot more profit if it was used to refine pills and make talismans.

“Father, when the number of people increases and the proficiency comes up, this cost can continue to decrease.”

“Moreover, in terms of material procurement, the main material currently used is Black Tungsten Steel. If mass production begins and a large amount is purchased, the price can also be reduced by 10% to 30%.”

“Besides, after our family’s puppet sales and reputation are established, the price can also be raised.”

“However, this child believes that since the family has a shop, we can first open a shop in Red Leaf Valley Market to establish a reputation.”

Lu Xianzhi said, seeing his father’s contemplation, he roughly understood his father’s thoughts.

In his opinion, a profit of twenty spirit stones per puppet was already very good.

Currently, the workshop has three production lines, which can produce about eight to ten puppets a month.

Which is equivalent to one or two hundred spirit stones, and more than two thousand spirit stones a year.

Moreover, this income can gradually increase.

“Okay, let’s do it according to your ideas in this regard.”

Lu Changsheng said with a chuckle upon hearing this.

He also understood that this kind of thing cannot be measured by his own consumption habits.

An industrial income of two thousand spirit stones a year is already very good for a Foundation Establishment family.

Moreover, this puppet workshop is only in its initial stage.

When the reputation is established, the income will naturally increase.

He patted his son on the shoulder and said, “If there are any problems, you can go to the family’s concubines, Ping’an, Quan Zhen, and discuss them.”

“As for opening a puppet shop in Red Leaf Valley Market, that’s fine. You select two sensible apprentices to go over.”

Lu Changsheng said so.

After speaking, he added, “By the way, Xianzhi, you remember to uniformly mark all puppets with the words ‘Green Lake Mountain Lu Family’.”

Puppets are reproducible.

These three puppets were designed by him based on the current puppet market in the cultivation world.

If other family puppet masters see that his puppets are good, they may copy and produce them.

So at this time, you can consider a brand effect.

Just like the Red Blood Carp of Green Lake Mountain, the talisman paper of Green Bamboo Mountain, the Centipede Wine of Centipede Ridge, and the spirit birds of Hundred Birds Lake, all have a certain reputation.

“Yes, Father!”

Lu Xianzhi’s face immediately showed joy when he heard this, and he responded with cupped hands.

He knew that his ninth-grade spiritual root was not talented, and he had no great ability, and he had no hope of building a foundation in this life.

So he put most of his time and energy on puppets, wanting to make some achievements in other aspects.

In the past two years, he has devoted his mind to the workshop, thinking about making the workshop profitable as soon as possible.

Now, Lu Changsheng finally agreed to mass-produce the family’s puppets and put them on the market, which also made him excited and excited.

After visiting the puppet workshop, Lu Changsheng came to his talisman workshop and wine workshop to inspect.

There was no change in the talisman workshop.

By doing OEM for Green Bamboo Mountain, you can earn two or three hundred spirit stones a year, which is just for fun.

The wine workshop is still okay.

It can stably brew ‘White Jade Wine’ and ‘Spirit Mulberry Wine’, and is gradually starting to make a profit.

After the Green Water Rice was harvested, Lu Changsheng also spent some time using ‘Green Water Rice’ as the main ingredient to develop a wine called ‘Green Lake Wine’.

It has the effect of nourishing the body and increasing the power of water-based techniques.

It’s just that the workshop’s mass production of this wine is not effective.

And the family’s Green Water Rice is limited, so Lu Changsheng dismissed the idea of mass production.

However, after spending a lot of time researching and developing, Lu Changsheng used ‘Green Blood Carp’ as the main ingredient to develop a ‘Green Carp Wine’, and is currently preparing to put it on the market to see how it goes.

“Hmm?”

Just then, Lu Changsheng felt a restless aura coming from his spirit pet bag.

He sensed it slightly, and joy immediately appeared in his eyes.

He immediately instructed his son, Lu Quanzhen, and his nephew, Hong Xuanji, with a few words, then transformed into a stream of light and returned to the Hall of Longevity.

Arriving at his cave, Lu Changsheng opened the spirit pet bag.

There appeared a two-inch-long, golden silkworm with thin wings on its back.

Its entire body flowed with golden light, exuding a violent and bloodthirsty aura.

Lu Changsheng looked at the Six-Winged Golden Silkworm in front of him and took out two gourds from his storage bag.

They were filled with spirit blood, and he took out a white jade bowl to pour the spirit blood into it.

Then, he said to the Six-Winged Golden Silkworm, “Begin!”

Fourteen years had passed, and under his care, the Six-Winged Golden Silkworm was finally about to advance from its larval stage to its juvenile stage.

Advancing from Tier 1 to Tier 2!

Although it was still very far from the mature stage of growing its second pair of wings.

But in Lu Changsheng’s opinion, it was already very good.

The newest novels are first published on 69shu.com!

After all, this was his first Tier 2 spirit pet that he was going to cultivate.

For example, his first pet beast, the Nine Nether Mastiff, was still in the late stage of Tier 1.

“Hiss hiss hiss—”

Hearing Lu Changsheng’s words, the Six-Winged Golden Silkworm immediately devoured the spirit blood in the white jade bowl quickly.

“Boom!”

At the same time, a violent and fierce aura surged from the Six-Winged Golden Silkworm’s body, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

However, most demon race advancements relied on their physical bodies and bloodlines, so the demand for the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was not significant.

Seeing that the Six-Winged Golden Silkworm had finished drinking the spirit blood in the jade bowl in a short while, Lu Changsheng was not stingy and continued to pour out the spirit blood from the gourd, letting it eat its fill.

And so, time passed bit by bit.

Half an hour later, the aura on the Six-Winged Golden Silkworm suddenly soared, and its entire body shone with golden light.

Lu Changsheng watched quietly from the side, and seeing that the Six-Winged Golden Silkworm still wanted to devour spirit blood, he continued to pour out the spirit blood from the gourd.

It was fortunate that he disliked trouble and had directly bought six gourds of demon beast blood when he was outside.

Otherwise, if the Six-Winged Golden Silkworm suddenly wanted to advance, he would not have been prepared.

After the aura of the Six-Winged Golden Silkworm continued to surge for a long time, the golden light around it gradually formed a silkworm cocoon, enveloping the Six-Winged Golden Silkworm within.

“Could it be molting in the cocoon?”

Lu Changsheng looked at the golden silkworm cocoon the size of a fist in front of him, tinged with a bit of bloody light, and raised his eyebrows slightly.

He did not move the silkworm cocoon, but simply filled the nearby area with spirit blood, preventing the Six-Winged Golden Silkworm from needing to replenish it.

“Alas, when I met Xiao Chan and Nangong Mili before, I was so busy saving people that I forgot about the Six-Winged Golden Silkworm.”

Lu Changsheng thought of Meng Xiaochun when he returned from Nine Heavens Immortal City.

But at that time, he only remembered saving people and forgot to inquire about the Six-Winged Golden Silkworm.

If the other party knew about the Six-Winged Golden Silkworm, or could give him some advice through her understanding of Gu insects, it might be helpful to the growth of the Six-Winged Golden Silkworm.

Thinking of Meng Xiaochun, Lu Changsheng also thought of Nangong Mili, thinking of his daughter Nangong Yaoyao.

He wondered what the situation of this daughter was now, and how her life was.

This daughter had grown up in the Demon Sect since she was a child, would she develop some kind of demonic female personality.

Thinking of Nangong Mili and Meng Xiaochun, Lu Changsheng felt that this possibility was very high.

“Alas.”

Lu Changsheng felt worried when he thought of his daughter being like a demonic woman of the Demon Sect in the future.

He glanced at the Six-Winged Golden Silkworm and walked out of the cave.

He dispelled the sorrow in his heart by helping Ling Zixiao and Xiao Xiyue cultivate.

A month later.

Hall of Longevity, inside the cave.

“Condense!”

Lu Changsheng circulated the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Technique, and golden treasure light flowed through his palm.

Under the condensation of mana, the Hundred Horse Floating Pagoda Lock began to assimilate with his palm bit by bit.

After spending three days, the entire magic treasure merged into Lu Changsheng’s hand bones, causing a chain pattern with a phantom of a yin horse to appear on the back of his hand.

“Not bad, Demonic Dao magic treasures are similar, there is not much impact.”

After Lu Changsheng finished condensing the Hundred Horse Floating Pagoda Lock, he moved his palm slightly and nodded slightly.

He knew that the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Technique mainly absorbed the origin of the magic treasure, and would not be affected by the effect of the magic treasure.

Unless he used the ‘Treasure Bone Technique’ to nourish the treasure bones with the magic treasure.

However, now that he had so many methods, Lu Changsheng did not intend to waste the origin of the magic treasure to nourish the treasure bones, a life-saving method.

After looking at the Six-Winged Golden Silkworm still in the cocoon, Lu Changsheng walked out of the Hall of Longevity and came to the Lu family mansion.

“Husband…”

Qu Zhenzhen called out to Lu Changsheng with a aggrieved expression as soon as she saw him.

“Zhenzhen, what’s wrong?”

Lu Changsheng immediately asked with concern when he saw his little wife’s expression.

Qu Zhenzhen had a naive and lively personality, and she would not take anything to heart. She had always been carefree and happy.

Suddenly seeing her like this, Lu Changsheng thought something had happened.

“Husband, talk to Quanzhen…”

Qu Zhenzhen complained to Lu Changsheng, saying that her son Lu Quanzhen was not obedient at all.

Before, she saw that Lu Yun had taken concubines, and Lu Miaoyun was still arranging marriage for her son, so she naturally cared about her son in this regard.

After all, Lu Quanzhen was a year older than Lu Yun.

She went to talk to Lu Quanzhen about this matter, and Lu Quanzhen agreed at first.

As a result, so much time had passed without any movement, and then she politely rejected all her arrangements, and now she was hiding from her, making her very aggrieved.

“Cough cough, cultivators generally marry later, and Quanzhen is not very old.”

Lu Changsheng said so after hearing this.

He knew his son Lu Quanzhen’s personality. He had his own ideas and goals, and he attached great importance to cultivation. He had no idea of starting a family at all.

So as a father, he generally would not do things that urged marriage.

“But marriage does not affect cultivation, Sister Yun listens to everything Xiaoyun says, but Quanzhen does not listen to me at all, and now he is hiding from me.”

Qu Zhenzhen said very aggrieved.

“Cough cough, don’t be sad, I will talk to Quanzhen later and ask him what he thinks.”

Lu Changsheng didn’t know what to say for a while.

Compared to Lu Quanzhen, his son Lu Yun lacked some ideas and listened to Lu Miaoyun very much.

This was also the difference in personality between Lu Miaoyun and Qu Zhenzhen.

Lu Miaoyun was usually very strict in terms of disciplining her children.

And Qu Zhenzhen, after so many years, was still a bit like a child who had not grown up.

Compared to Lu Quanzhen, she was more like a child.

Moreover, Lu Changsheng seriously suspected that Lu Quanzhen’s agreement that Qu Zhenzhen said was actually because he was forced to agree by her nagging.

After all, this son had always reported good news and not bad news when he was training in the secular world.

He was afraid that Qu Zhenzhen would know that he had suffered any damage, and she would nag him for a long time.

“Yes, yes.”

Qu Zhenzhen nodded happily after hearing this.

Although her son was rebellious and disobedient, she still believed in Lu Changsheng’s words.

Moreover, she knew that her son had always listened to her husband’s words.

Then she also talked about her daughter Lu Yuzhen.

This daughter was not young either, and she could also consider marriage.

“Yuzhen is in Lake Mountain Town, let’s go see her later and ask her what she thinks.”

Lu Changsheng said gently.

After chatting with his wife Qu Zhenzhen for a while, Lu Changsheng also cared about his son Lu Pingan’s progress in the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Technique.

Seeing that his cultivation was still in the introductory stage, Lu Changsheng gave him some pointers and then told him to continue to cultivate well.

Thinking of encouraging his son, he took out the Black Dragon Dharma Pearl and gave it to Lu Pingan.

He said that after he was proficient in the technique, he could teach him how to refine the treasure into his body and use this magic treasure to cultivate.

“Dad, you gave this magic treasure to me, what about you, don’t you want to use it?”

Lu Pingan was shocked when he heard that he was condensing the magic treasure into his body and saw that Lu Changsheng had actually given him a magic treasure.

Although he was only a Qi Refining cultivator, he also knew what a magic treasure meant.

“It’s okay, it’s fine for my father to be casual.”

Lu Changsheng looked relieved and waved his hand.

“Thank you, Father!”

Lu Pingan said respectfully with a moved face.

He made up his mind that he must not let his father down.

In the blink of an eye, ten days passed.

On this day, Lu Changsheng received a message that the Old Ancestor of the Zheng family in Centipede Ridge had passed away!
