Chapter 64: Li Feiyu’s hard work

Upon returning to Lu, Lu Changsheng spoke to his wives and concubines, including Lu Miaoyun and Qu Zhenzhen, about his upcoming trip to Nine Dragon Market.

His wives and concubines were a mix of joy and worry upon hearing this.

Their joy stemmed from Lu Changsheng being able to oversee the Family’s industries, which was a good thing and showed he was valued by the Lu Family.

Their worry was that Lu Changsheng would be away from Lu for a long time, and they were very reluctant to see him go.

“Nine Dragon Market isn’t far from Qingzhu Mountain, so I’ll be able to return once a month, just like Young Miss.”

“When Husband gets familiar with the place, I’ll take you all out to play too.”

Lu Changsheng said to his wives and concubines.

He had always found Qingzhu Valley a bit dull and boring.

His wives and concubines naturally felt the same.

So, he thought that if things were stable at Nine Dragon Market, he could bring a few wives and concubines over to stay and play, as a way to relax.

“Thank you, Husband.”

“Thank you, Husband.”

The women were also very happy to hear this.

“Husband, why don’t you take Xiao Qing with you then?”

“That way, someone will be there to take care of you.”

At this, Lu Miaoyun spoke up to Lu Changsheng.

“I’m a grown man, I don’t need anyone to take care of me.”

“Besides, you need Xiao Qing to serve you right now.”

Lu Changsheng waved his hand, indicating it wasn’t necessary.

“Mmm~ Husband~ just take Xiao Qing with you, please~”

“Since I can’t be by your side, let Xiao Qing accompany you, okay~”

Lu Miaoyun immediately bit her pink lips lightly with her pearly teeth, her pair of watery eyes looking at Lu Changsheng.

At the same time, she gently swayed Lu Changsheng’s arm, her voice soft, sweet, and cooing.

“Alright, alright, take her, take her, I’ll listen to you, Yun’er.”

Lu Changsheng had always been susceptible to soft words and not to harsh ones, so facing his wife’s cooing, he immediately responded with indulgence.

He guessed that Lu Miaoyun wanted him to take Xiao Qing not just for companionship, but also to have someone keep an eye on him.

To prevent him from philandering outside and bringing back a bunch of women.

However, Lu Changsheng didn’t mind and thought it was fine to bring Xiao Qing along.

There is a Dao that says it’s easy to go from frugality to luxury, but difficult to go from luxury to frugality.

He had been accustomed to being served all these years, and if he were to go to a different place without anyone to serve him, he would indeed feel unaccustomed.

Having someone he trusted by his side would also make things much more convenient.

Moreover, if he truly wanted to take a concubine, it wouldn’t matter whether Xiao Qing was by his side or not.

“But let Husband go over first and see what the situation is like before we talk about it; the situation there isn’t clear right now.”

Lu Changsheng pinched his delicate wife’s cheek and said.

After all, he was going there to do business.

If he brought a little maid without knowing anything about the situation, it would seem like he was going to enjoy himself, which wouldn’t leave a good impression.

“Mmm-hmm~”

Seeing her Husband agree, Lu Miaoyun immediately showed a sweet smile, with a hint of charming naivety.

She also knew that it was impossible to completely prevent her Husband from taking concubines or finding new women.

But as a woman and a wife, she couldn’t just stand by and do nothing.

That night.

Knowing that Lu Changsheng would be leaving Lu in a few days, his wives and concubines all served him with tenderness.

After half a year of cultivating the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Technique, nourishing meals, Spiritual Wine, and breaking through to the Lianqi Fourth Layer, Lu Changsheng’s combat strength had also significantly improved.

However, facing the persistent缠绕 of his wives and concubines, who took turns, Lu Changsheng still couldn’t hold out.

He even suspected that his wives and concubines were trying to tell him, through this method, not to philander outside once he went to Nine Dragon Market.

“When I go to Nine Dragon Market, I need to put more effort into cultivating the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Technique as soon as possible.”

“Otherwise, if I come Lu once a month, how will I be able to endure it? I won’t even have the face to take concubines or bring new women back.”

Lu Changsheng lay on the bed, secretly thinking to himself.

The next day.

Lu Changsheng suddenly remembered his Talisman transaction with Hong Yi.

Every three months, Hong Yi would send someone to trade Talismans, and the next transaction was about a month away.

If he went to Nine Dragon Market, he would likely not be at Lu then.

Immediately, Lu Changsheng informed Lu Miaoyun about the Talisman transaction and gave her thirty Talismans that he had already drawn.

He told her that if Hong Yi’s person arrived, she should go and complete the transaction.

It was just selling some Low Grade Talismans to a friend, so there was nothing to hide about it; it was fine if the Lu Family knew.

Moreover, Lu Changsheng felt that the Lu Family probably already knew about this matter concerning him.

Lu Miaoyun naturally agreed obediently to this matter, reassuring Lu Changsheng.

Afterward, Lu Changsheng went to Qingzhu Mountain Village, thinking of chatting with Li Feiyu and seeing how Li Feiyu was doing recently.

However, when he arrived at Li Feiyu’s Lu, Li Feiyu was not at Lu.

Li Feiyu’s wives and concubines told Lu Changsheng that Li Feiyu had gone farming.

Hearing this, Lu Changsheng was very surprised.

After chatting with Li Feiyu’s wives and concubines, he learned that.

A few months ago, after Li Feiyu got the hang of the Spiritual Butchering profession, he also mastered the skills of a spiritual plant cultivator, Minor Cloud Rain Art and Geng Metal Art, and took on a spiritual farmer’s job from Butler Fu.

Not only that, but sometimes Li Feiyu would also do the work of refining and extracting Materials.

Many Low Grade spiritual Materials, because they contain too many Impurities, cannot be used directly.

So, a job emerged, allowing cultivators to continuously refine the Materials with spiritual power, extracting the Impurities from them.

Hearing this, Lu Changsheng was speechless for a moment.

He couldn’t help but sigh, cultivation is difficult, and survival is even more difficult.

However, he also vaguely understood in his heart that Li Feiyu was working so hard not just to support his Family.

He was also preparing to leave the Lu Family in the future.

Otherwise, a single Spiritual Butchering job would be enough for Li Feiyu to support his Family.

It was nearly noon when Li Feiyu returned, covered in dust from his journey.

Although he was somewhat tired, his eyes were bright and full of spirit.

Before, in the Lu Family, his only concern was having children.

Now that he was no longer bound by having children, although it was hard work, there was at least a glimmer of hope in his life.

After all, what people fear most is not seeing hope.

“Changsheng, why are you here?”

Li Feiyu was a little surprised to see Lu Changsheng at his Lu.

“I just came to see how you were doing.”

Lu Changsheng smiled.

He then told Li Feiyu that he would be leaving the Lu Family for Nine Dragon Market in a while.

If Li Feiyu needed to buy anything in the future, he could buy it on his behalf.

Although Qingzhu Mountain Village had a Hundred Treasures Pavilion, in Lu Changsheng’s current view, the things that could be bought there were very limited.

In the Lu Family, precious items required an application and the expenditure of Family contribution points.

Li Feiyu naturally had nothing to buy.

He just told Lu Changsheng to be careful outside.

He told him some things to pay attention to when traveling outside.

Although Li Feiyu was talking about the Jianghu ways of the mortal world, these things were equally applicable in the Cultivation World.

Afterward, Lu Changsheng also told Li Feiyu that if he needed any help, he should just ask without hesitation.

Otherwise, if he kept working so hard and ruined his body in the Lu Family, that would be a real loss.

Hearing this, Li Feiyu somewhat awkwardly asked to borrow Spirit Stone.

He explained that while working as a Spiritual Butcher, he learned that the Lu Family raised a type of spiritual pig called Black Boar.

These Black Boars could be harvested in three years and sold for about fifty Spirit Stone each.

In the past six months, he had also figured out the breeding process and methods for these Black Boars and wanted to raise two himself.

However, a Black Boar cub cost six Spirit Stone, and he currently lacked sufficient starting capital, only having four idle Spirit Stone available.

Hearing this, Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but shake his head, thinking to himself that Li Feiyu was truly working hard.

Not only was he a Spiritual Butcher and a spiritual plant cultivator, but he was also preparing to raise two more spiritual pigs.

However, he also knew that given Li Feiyu’s current situation, if he wanted to cultivate, he had no other choice but to work hard and strive.

Immediately, he took out twenty Spirit Stone and lent them to Li Feiyu.

Currently, in the Lu Family, he received ten basic Spirit Stone every month.

He earned ten Spirit Stone for completing his Talismans tasks each month, and he would additionally submit three to five Talismans each time, which also amounted to about ten Spirit Stone.

And from Hong Yi, he could get over forty Spirit Stone every three months.

Therefore, his apparent income was quite considerable now.

He could also take out some Spirit Stone to help Li Feiyu.

However, Li Feiyu only borrowed ten.

He said that ten Spirit Stone was enough and that he would repay him after the spiritual rice in the spiritual field ripened.

Lu Changsheng didn’t say much about this; he knew Li Feiyu’s character.

Afterward, he ate a meal at Li Feiyu’s place, and the two drank some Spiritual Wine and chatted before he left.
