Chapter 74: Sir, are you here to have fun?

After leaving Southwest Street, Lu Changsheng did not return directly.

Instead, he found an inn on a nearby street and spent a spirit stone to rent a room.

After arriving in the room, Lu Changsheng took out a middle-grade Purification Talisman from his storage bag and used it on himself.

Cultivators have many magical methods, including many that leave marks on others to track them.

This Purification Talisman can dispel and purify the marks on the body.

Seeing that the Purification Talisman had no effect on him, Lu Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew that he was not being tracked or marked.

After all, the last time he sold something at Oxhead Mountain, he was targeted as soon as he went down the mountain.

It’s better to be careful and cautious.

Lu Changsheng could also feel that the two years of comfortable life in the Lu family had diminished the feeling of walking on thin ice that he had when he first arrived.

So he constantly reminded himself to be prepared for danger in times of peace and to have a vigilant heart.

Otherwise, he might encounter danger or accidents at any time.

After resting in the room for half an hour, Lu Changsheng changed into a human skin mask and went out.

He still had a dark complexion and an ordinary appearance.

After all, looking ordinary makes it harder for people to remember him.

Walking out of the inn, Lu Changsheng returned to Southwest Street.

He spent so many spirit stones today, but didn’t earn a single one, so he naturally wouldn’t go back so quickly and planned to sell something to exchange for spirit stones.

Along the previous street, he continued to stroll around.

He had already bought so many spiritual materials for the Hundred Refinements Body Technique just now, enough for him to cultivate for a while, so he didn’t buy any more.

After all, he had to have some spirit stones on him in case of emergencies.

Then he saw a stall selling books.

He spent two spirit stones to buy a copy of “Dragon Locking Secret Technique” and “Jade Chamber Secrets”.

They taught how to enhance one’s ability in that area, and how to lock yang energy and blood energy to reduce loss during intercourse.

These were just ordinary bedroom techniques, not some kind of immortal cultivation technique or secret art.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t be this price.

In Lu Changsheng’s opinion, this kind of thing was just for fun.

If he really wanted dual cultivation secret techniques and methods, he would have to look to the system.

After strolling around for a while, Lu Changsheng came to the stall fee booth at the street entrance, paid a spirit stone, and prepared to set up his stall.

The cultivator at the fee booth gave him a wooden sign.

The wooden sign had a number on it, corresponding to a stall, and allowed him to set up a stall for three days.

After Lu Changsheng took the wooden sign, he found the corresponding street stall and sat down.

He took out a stack of talismans.

A total of thirty low-grade talismans and five middle-grade talismans.

When he was wandering around just now, he also observed the stalls selling talismans.

He knew that he couldn’t take out too many, otherwise it would easily attract the attention of others.

Afterwards, he put out the flying sword, flying knife, and bell that he had obtained from the three rogue cultivators at Oxhead Mountain.

He had the Azure Yan Sword and a lot of talismans, so he didn’t need these three magic tools, so he naturally chose to sell them for money.

As for the three storage bags he had obtained before, one was used to store sundries, and one was used to store talismans, so he wouldn’t sell them for the time being, maybe he would need them in the future.

After marking the prices of all the items, Lu Changsheng waited for business to come.

However, half an hour passed.

From time to time, people glanced at his stall, but most of them were not interested, and he only sold five or six talismans.

“The location of my stall is not good, it’s too far back.”

“Moreover, in a place like Nine Dragons Market, there are too many people selling talismans and magic tools, it’s too competitive, most people rely on their usual reputation and customers.”

“Although my price is a little lower than other stalls, it still can’t form a competitive advantage, unless I lower the price further.”

“But lowering it a little is useless, I must lower the price to a very low level, but in this way, it will obviously disrupt the market and easily be targeted.”

After selling for so long, but not selling a few items, Lu Changsheng felt a little impatient, got up, packed up his stall, and left.

He planned to go directly to see if there was anyone collecting talismans and magic tools.

It didn’t matter if the price was a little lower.

Otherwise, relying on setting up a stall, he didn’t know how long he would have to sell.

“I have thirty low-grade talismans and five middle-grade talismans, can you buy them?”

“No.”

“No.”

“No.”

“What price are you selling them for?”

After asking four stalls, a stall owner spoke.

“10% off what you are selling now.”

Lu Changsheng said.

“Too high, 50% off, I’ll take them all.”

The stall owner said.

“Then forget it, I might as well set up my own stall to sell them.”

Lu Changsheng turned around and left directly.

Damn, there has to be a limit to being black-hearted, how could he even say 50% off.

“Brother, 60% off.”

Seeing Lu Changsheng leaving, the stall owner immediately shouted.

“20% off.”

Lu Changsheng paused.

“How about this, let’s each take a step back, 30% off.”

The stall owner said.

Lu Changsheng pretended to be hesitant, and finally nodded and said: “Okay.”

He took out a stack of talismans and let the other party count them.

He suddenly felt a little guilty towards Hong Yi in his heart, he was selling talismans here for 30% off.

But he only gave Hong Yi a 20% discount.

“According to the market price, it’s a total of eighty spirit stones, 30% off, which is fifty-six spirit stones.”

The stall owner counted the talismans and quoted a price.

“Deal.”

After Lu Changsheng completed the transaction, he immediately left Southwest Street.

He changed his appearance again and found four spirit talisman shops to sell talismans.

Considering his identity and insufficient disguise skills, Lu Changsheng did not go to the large spirit talisman shops.

The ones he found were all relatively small spirit talisman shops.

The purchase price of talismans was about 30% off.

In this way, Lu Changsheng sold one hundred and forty-five low-grade talismans and sixty middle-grade talismans in five spirit talisman shops.

He earned a total of three hundred and sixty-six spirit stones.

After walking out of the last spirit talisman shop, Lu Changsheng did not continue to sell them.

The saying still held true, time was still long, and he needed to be careful and cautious in everything.

Having more than four hundred spirit stones on him was enough for him to use for a long time.

Moreover, he only had five human skin masks on him.

This wave had used them all up.

After walking out of the last spirit talisman shop, Lu Changsheng did not change his attire, and came to a magic tool shop next door to ask if they bought magic tools.

Hearing the other party say yes, Lu Changsheng took out three magic tools.

“Although these three magic tools look intact, they have obviously been used for a long time and have obvious flaws. It’s hard to say if they will be damaged during use.”

“If fellow cultivator wants to sell them, this shop is willing to buy them for thirty spirit stones each.”

The shopkeeper of the magic tool shop looked at Lu Changsheng’s three magic tools and then quoted a price.

“So black!”

Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but secretly say in his heart when he heard this.

He had played with these three magic tools.

It could only be said that the three rogue cultivators at Oxhead Mountain were very fond of their magic tools and none of them were damaged.

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say they were 90% new.

As a result, the other party only offered thirty spirit stones each.

“Then forget it, the minimum for the three is one hundred and twenty spirit stones.”

Lu Changsheng shook his head, quoted a psychological price, and pretended to leave.

“Too high, one hundred and twenty spirit stones is too high, one hundred spirit stones, I’ll take all three.”

Seeing this, the shopkeeper of the magic tool shop said.

One step, two steps, three steps… Seeing Lu Changsheng about to walk out the door, he said again: “One hundred and ten spirit stones, really the lowest price, you can ask other places, it’s also this price.”

But seeing that Lu Changsheng really left, he immediately went out and shouted: “One hundred and fifteen spirit stones.”

“Okay.”

Hearing this, Lu Changsheng felt that it was about the same and acceptable, and stopped.

He exchanged the three magic tools for one hundred and fifteen spirit stones.

“Huh?”

At this time, Lu Changsheng saw a pair of cyan boots in the shop, which matched his magic robe quite well.

He couldn’t help but point to the boots and asked: “Shopkeeper, what level of magic boots are these? What are the effects?”

“These boots are a middle-grade magic tool, made from the fur of the Wind Wolf demon beast, and have six major effects: size as desired, dust avoidance, self-effacement, lightness, wave treading, and wind control.”

The shopkeeper immediately introduced.

“Middle-grade magic tool?”

Lu Changsheng nodded slightly and asked: “Can I try them on?”

“Of course.”

The shopkeeper said with a smile.

He took the magic boots out of the cabinet and let Lu Changsheng try them on.

The boots were not heavy, very thin, soft, and lined with fine fluff.

Putting them on his feet, Lu Changsheng’s first feeling was that they were very comfortable and soft, as if they were nothing, and his whole person seemed to be much lighter.

This was the lightness effect of the boots.

It was equivalent to always having the effect of a lightness technique.

As for wave treading and wind control, when activated, they could respectively walk quickly on the water and be equivalent to adding a wind control technique.

“How much do these magic boots cost?”

Lu Changsheng asked.

He was quite satisfied with these boots.

Not only was the style and effect good, but they were also very comfortable to wear.

If he encountered anything in the future and needed to run away, he could also be much faster.

“This is also the first business of our shop today, the original price was two hundred and ten spirit stones, but since you have just done business with you, fellow cultivator, just give two hundred.”

The shopkeeper said.

“That’s too expensive. A normal middle-grade magic tool only costs about 150 spirit stones. Would you sell it for 140 spirit stones?”

Lu Changsheng directly countered.

Just now, he offered three magic tools, and the other party immediately quoted 30 spirit stones each.

Clearly, there was a lot of room for bargaining.

Moreover, aside from his past life’s experience buying things,

just from wandering around, he also knew that you had to be good at bargaining when buying things.

If you readily agree to whatever price they say, they might think you’re a sucker later.

“Too low. These magic boots are not only made of Azure Wind Wolf skin, but they also contain spirit silkworm silk. The weaving, dyeing, and embroidered formations on them are all very delicate.”

“If you want them, Fellow Daoist, the lowest is 195 spirit stones.”

The shopkeeper said a lot, re-quoting the price.

In the end, after haggling, Lu Changsheng bought the pair of magic boots for 160 spirit stones.

After buying the magic boots, Lu Changsheng looked around the store again.

Checking to see if there were any magic tools suitable for him.

He felt that he still had too few methods, so he needed more self-defense measures.

Subsequently, in the store, he spent 63 spirit stones and 210 spirit stones respectively to purchase a low-grade magic tool ‘Mask of a Thousand Faces’ and a middle-grade magic tool ‘Cold Jade Spirit Pendant’.

The Mask of a Thousand Faces, when attached to the face, can freely transform into another face.

As long as it’s not a late-stage Qi Refinement cultivator using spirit eye techniques, they wouldn’t be able to see through it.

With this magic tool mask, he wouldn’t have to buy those ordinary human skin masks anymore.

As for the Cold Jade Spirit Pendant, when worn on the body, it has the effects of clearing the mind, calming the spirit, restraining spiritual power, concealing aura, and shielding divine sense detection.

And in case of danger, it can passively generate a protective technique that can withstand a blow from a mid-stage Qi Refinement cultivator.

“Take care, Fellow Daoist.”

When sending Lu Changsheng out of the store, the shopkeeper was all smiles.

“Alas, this money is so easily spent.”

After walking out of the store, Lu Changsheng sighed.

Just now, he felt that he had a large sum of money and could use it for a long time.

But in the blink of an eye, the money he just made from selling talismans and magic tools was almost used up, and he only had a little over a hundred spirit stones left.

Not even enough money to buy a magic tool talisman brush.

“Money is meant to be spent. The money for upgrading equipment can’t be saved.”

“After another ten days or half a month, I’ll come over and sell another batch of talismans, and I’ll have money again.”

Lu Changsheng took a deep breath and ran to an inn to rent a room.

He used a purification talisman to check if he was being followed or marked.

After confirming that he wasn’t being followed, Lu Changsheng put the Mask of a Thousand Faces on his face, and with a slight thought, his face changed into Li Feiyu’s appearance.

“As expected of a magic tool, now I don’t need to disguise myself.”

Lu Changsheng looked at himself in the mirror, his face constantly changing, and nodded in satisfaction.

It’s a pity that this mask is only a low-grade magic tool.

The changed appearance can be seen through by late-stage Qi Refinement cultivators with spirit eye techniques.

But it doesn’t matter, he can just wear another layer of human skin mask then.

Anyway, as long as people can’t see his true face.

After all, what more can you ask for from a low-grade magic tool?

Lu Changsheng used the Mask of a Thousand Faces to transform into a common face and walked out of the inn.

Then he turned left and right, and in an alley, he restored his original appearance.

Dressed in an azure bamboo embroidered magic robe, wearing Azure Wind Boots, with a handsome face, he could be described as graceful and elegant.

Just as Lu Changsheng was about to walk out of the alley.

From a small courtyard next door, a charming woman just walked out, wearing only a pink thin gauze single garment, with a curvy figure, revealing her pink and white fragrant shoulders.

When she saw Lu Changsheng, her eyes lit up, and she smiled sweetly, saying gracefully, “Is this young master here for pleasure?”

Lu Changsheng looked puzzled.

“Since the young master is here, why not come in and experience it?”

“For only five spirit stones, this humble one can let the young master enjoy the ultimate pleasure.”

The woman said嬌聲, her eyes were charming, and she stretched out her white jade arms to pull Lu Changsheng.

Giving Lu Changsheng a slightly numb feeling as if he had been electrocuted.

Especially the woman’s body exuded an alluring fragrance like orchids and musk, full of charm, making people feel hot and want to indulge in the beauty before them.

At the same time, the Cold Jade Spirit Pendant worn on Lu Changsheng’s chest gave birth to a clear spiritual energy, which slightly suppressed his heat.

“Bewitchment!”

Lu Changsheng immediately became alert, knowing that the woman in front of him was using bewitchment on him.

He hurriedly took a step back and shook his head, saying, “Sorry, I’m just passing by.”

“Today, this humble one finds the young master very pleasing, for only two spirit stones, I can do as the young master wishes~”

The woman continued to speak, a beautiful and charming face showing a pitiful look.

Making people can’t help but feel pity and want to pamper and ravage her.

Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng repeatedly chanted Namo Amitabha in his heart, cupped his hands, and quickly left.

“Young master, at worst, this humble one won’t charge you spirit stones today~”

The woman continued to shout softly.

However, Lu Changsheng didn’t look back and had already quickly walked out of the alley, making the woman’s face a little ugly.

She cursed resentfully, “Hmph, you don’t know what’s good for you. So what if you’re handsome!”

Then she turned around and returned to the courtyard.

“Huff!”

Lu Changsheng walked out of the alley and exhaled a long breath.

There was no trace of reverie in his heart, only a feeling of danger.

“I thought I was battle-hardened, experienced, and my will was extremely firm, and I wouldn’t be easily affected by female lust, but I didn’t expect bewitchment to be so powerful.”

“The cultivation of this female cultivator just now should not be very high, only mid-stage or late-stage Qi Refinement, but in this situation, I was actually affected and bewitched.”

“If this is a cultivator with profound cultivation, or proficient in bewitchment, it’s simply impossible to guard against.”

Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but think to himself.

Although the woman just now had a good appearance and a very charming figure, it wasn’t enough to make him do anything.

But as soon as the other party approached, her words and actions made him feel hot and want to indulge in it.

“Strength, increasing strength is the key!”

Lu Changsheng took a deep breath and thought to himself.

If he really encounters powerful bewitchment or other unpredictable methods.

Even if he has a body full of talismans and a talisman treasure, he may not be able to use them.

“I can’t just walk around in this kind of alley in the future, who knows when I will encounter danger.”

Lu Changsheng shook his head and walked towards the spirit talisman shop.

Planning to stay away from this kind of deserted alley as much as possible in the future.

Although the security of Nine Dragons Market is good, it is impossible to have no danger at all.

Things more or less happen from time to time, and there may be evil cultivators or rogue cultivators in this kind of deserted alley.

On the way back to the spirit talisman shop, Lu Changsheng paused when he passed by ‘White Jade Tower’.

Then looking at the White Jade Tower in front of him, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he strode in.

After all, marrying wives and concubines and having children can’t stop.

This is the foundation for him to settle down in this world.

If spending money can buy a concubine with spiritual roots, then that would naturally be the best.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to find one on his own.

This difficulty is not just referring to the difficulty of marrying wives and concubines.

Lu Changsheng knew that with his current conditions, it really wasn’t a problem to marry a few more ‘fairies’ with spiritual roots.

But after marrying wives and concubines, letting them have children for him also takes time, energy, and emotion.

Now with so many wives and concubines, Lu Changsheng can already feel that his time and energy are limited, and it is impossible to take care of everyone.

If it can be solved with money, relatively speaking, he won’t have to invest so much emotion and energy in it.

The interior of White Jade Tower is very spacious, and the decoration is very elegant, with only simple elegant seats, and seven or eight young women in uniform red dresses standing there.

In the hall, there were also two young women in red dresses, explaining and introducing something to two immortal cultivators who looked like customers.

“What would this young master like to know? Are you looking to marry a wife or concubine, or buy a maid? How about this humble one introduce you?”

At this time, a woman in a red dress saw Lu Changsheng and said with a sweet smile as she stepped forward.

“Do you have concubines or maids with spiritual roots here?”

Lu Changsheng said directly.

The woman in the red dress was slightly stunned when she heard this.

Then she carefully looked at Lu Changsheng’s appearance and temperament, and after confirming that he was not joking, the smile on her face became even deeper.

Knowing that Lu Changsheng was a big customer, she quickly invited Lu Changsheng to the second floor.

The furnishings on the second floor were different from the hall downstairs, with many small rooms divided. The woman in the red dress led Lu Changsheng to a room and knocked on the door.

“Come in!”

A lazy and charming voice came from inside, captivating and soul-stirring, making people’s hearts tremble when they heard it.
