Chapter 79: I, Lu Changsheng, am a full-time craftsman!

After moving, Lu Changsheng cast a spell to give the house and courtyard a simple cleaning.

“This house only has a simple soundproofing formation. It seems I’ll have to buy a few small formations later.”

Lu Changsheng looked at the courtyard and thought to himself.

Although Nine Dragons Market has good security, it can’t compare to living in Green Bamboo Valley, in the Lu family’s mansion in the Eastern District.

He still had to be careful and take some precautions.

Otherwise, if he wasn’t home, and only his wives and concubines were there, what would happen if they encountered danger?

Moreover, these small formations could be taken and reused after moving in the future.

The next day, before going to work, Lu Changsheng gave twenty spirit stones to Xiaoqing.

He asked her to buy some spirit rice, spirit vegetables, and spirit materials to keep at home.

Now that he had Xiaoqing, this spirit chef, he should eat better, naturally.

At the same time, he asked Xiaoqing to prepare lunch for two and deliver it to the spirit talisman shop.

On the way to the spirit talisman shop, Lu Changsheng saw a formation shop and went in to inquire about the prices of small formations, formation tools, and formation disks.

“For formation tools, they all come with a set of formation flags, formation disks, and formation eyes. It also depends on how large an area you need to cover,”

The shopkeeper of the formation shop introduced.

Afterward, Lu Changsheng asked how much a formation tool for a four- or five-hundred-square-meter courtyard would cost.

“There are many types of formations. For this size, the most common first-order low-grade formation, the Small Bewilderment Formation, costs one hundred and eighty spirit stones. As for some more powerful formations, it’s not just a matter of having formation tools, you also need a formation master to set up the formation and inscribe the formation patterns.”

The shopkeeper also recognized Lu Changsheng, so he said a little more and told him some knowledge about formations.

Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but click his tongue in his heart upon hearing this.

Just a set of ordinary first-order low-grade formation tools to cover four hundred square meters cost one hundred and eighty spirit stones.

A complete set of first-order mid-grade formation tools cost four or five hundred spirit stones.

As for a complete set of first-order high-grade formation tools, the price was basically over a thousand spirit stones.

Moreover, high-difficulty formations were even more expensive because they also included the cost of the formation master’s services.

“Sure enough, compared to formation masters, alchemists, and artifact refiners, talisman masters are still a bit lacking.”

“I wonder if I can draw formation techniques in the future? If I can draw formation techniques and become a formation master, I won’t have to worry about someone stealing my home after I settle down.”

Lu Changsheng chatted with the shopkeeper for a while, then shook his head and left.

He didn’t have any money now, and couldn’t even afford a first-order low-grade formation tool.

Moreover, in his opinion, the effect of first-order low-grade formation tools was actually just average.

At noon, Xiaoqing came to deliver food with a food box.

Lu Miaoge revealed a bit of a smile on her face when she learned that there was also a portion for her.

Lu Changsheng naturally prepared two portions, one for this young lady.

Through so much time together, Lu Changsheng also knew that this young lady also had a bit of a foodie attribute and usually loved to eat.

It was a pity that he himself didn’t have any culinary skills.

Nor did he intend to rely on making some food, using a roasted chicken to conquer her stomach, and then conquer her heart.

Unless one day he won spirit cooking skills in a lottery.

After eating, Lu Miaoge also offered to give Lu Changsheng spirit stones as food expenses.

Lu Changsheng naturally didn’t want this.

But unable to resist Lu Miaoge, he finally accepted twelve spirit stones a month as a token gesture.

Night fell.

That day, when Lu Changsheng returned home from work, Xiaoqing told him.

In the afternoon, a family from next door came to visit.

And sent three talismans, saying that they would be neighbors from now on and should interact and take care of each other.

Hearing this, Lu Changsheng was a little surprised.

He didn’t expect this neighbor to be so enthusiastic.

He took the talismans from Xiaoqing’s hand and looked at them. All three talismans were low-grade talismans.

“Offering talismans as a gift, could this neighbor be a talisman master?”

Lu Changsheng thought to himself.

Thinking that a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor, relying on parents at home and friends when going out, he would be living here for quite a while.

This neighbor took the initiative to visit, presumably he was a relatively easy person to get along with, so he could get to know him.

Moreover, having good relations with the surrounding neighbors would not be a bad thing.

At least he would know what kind of people the neighbors were.

Immediately, Lu Changsheng also took a basket of fruit, took out two gift boxes, filled them with a few talismans, and went to return the visit.

“Knock, knock, knock!”

Lu Changsheng came to the small courtyard next door on the right and knocked on the door.

After a while, the door opened with a ‘creak’.

“This uncle, who are you looking for?”

The one who opened the door was an eleven- or twelve-year-old little loli with chubby cheeks, two buns tied with ribbons on her head, and wearing a moon-white ruqun.

The little loli looked very cute, her long eyelashes fluttering, her eyes clear and bright as she looked at Lu Changsheng and said crisply.

“I’m the neighbor who just moved in next door, I’m here to visit, is your parent at home?”

Lu Changsheng looked at the little loli, a smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.

“Neighbor next door?”

The little loli heard this, tilted her little head, and then shouted crisply into the house: “Dad, it’s the uncle who moved in next door!”

Afterward, a middle-aged man in his thirties, with a kind face and a slightly plump figure, walked out of the house.

“Lu has just moved next door, and heard that fellow Daoist came to visit today, so I also came to get acquainted.”

Lu Changsheng handed out the fruit basket in his hand and said politely.

“So it’s fellow Daoist Lu, I am Gao He, please come in, please come in.”

The middle-aged man said with a smile, making a welcoming gesture, giving people a feeling of harmony brings wealth.

This courtyard was a separated courtyard, only about a hundred square meters, not as large as Lu Changsheng’s home.

However, Lu Changsheng also looked at it. This family only had Gao He and a daughter, as well as two servants, so this size was enough.

Immediately, during the chat between the two, Lu Changsheng learned that the latter was a mid-grade talisman master, working as a talisman master in a spirit talisman shop.

And Gao He learned that Lu Changsheng was the owner of the Qingzhu Lu Clan spirit talisman shop, and was also a bit more enthusiastic.

He said that there would be opportunities for business dealings in the future.

Afterward, the two also exchanged some experiences in talisman making.

Through the exchange process, Lu Changsheng also roughly knew that Gao He belonged to the middle stage of mid-grade talisman masters, and there was still a certain distance from becoming a high-grade talisman master.

After leaving Gao He’s house, Lu Changsheng also went to visit the courtyard opposite.

The one who opened the door was an old man, the old servant of the family.

After hearing Lu Changsheng’s intention, he said that his master was not at home and would only return after Xu hour every day.

Hearing this, Lu Changsheng said he was disturbing them and would visit next time.

Then he knocked on the left side, preparing to visit.

“You are?”

The one who opened the door was a woman of about thirty years old, with a gentle face and a plump figure.

Her skin was as white as snow, her eyebrows were like emerald feathers, her nose was like distant mountains, her vermilion lips were like flowers, and her black hair was tied into a bun.

Wearing a light blue dress, her slender waist was tightly bound by a cloud belt, revealing her proud figure with curves in all the right places, a faint gentle smile hanging between her lips, her whole person exuding a unique charm belonging to a mature woman.

“I am Lu Changsheng, the neighbor who just moved here, so I have come to visit presumptuously.”

Lu Changsheng’s expression was gentle, he smiled and cupped his hands, handing out a gift box containing talismans.

It contained three low-grade talismans and one mid-grade talisman.

After all, there was no need for the small gift for visiting someone to be too valuable.

“So it’s fellow Daoist Lu, please come in, fellow Daoist.”

The woman heard this, invited Lu Changsheng into the courtyard, poured tea and water, and also called out her husband to receive him.

Her husband was a man in his forties, with a tall and burly figure.

This man was completely different from the amiable Gao He, and was somewhat taciturn.

On his body, Lu Changsheng could even feel a bit of fierce aura, feeling that this person was not easy to approach.

Immediately, after a brief chat, Lu Changsheng bid farewell and left, saying that if they wanted to buy talismans in the future, they could look for him.

And the other party also introduced himself, surnamed Zhao, and made a living by hunting demon beasts.

If Lu Changsheng wanted to buy demon beast meat in the future, he could look for him.

After visiting the three families on the left and right, Lu Changsheng also returned to his residence.

After taking a bath, he called Xiaoqing and the two maids to work hard for immortality!

The next day.

Lu Changsheng was just about to go out when he heard a knock on the door.

After opening the door, he saw a middle-aged man with a slender figure and a refined and handsome appearance.

It was his neighbor across the street. Yesterday, he heard that Lu Changsheng had come to visit. Just now, he heard movement here, thinking that he was at home, so he came to visit.

The other party recognized him and knew that he was the new owner of the Lu family spirit talisman shop.

Under the other party’s self-introduction, Lu Changsheng learned that the other party was the owner of the Jade Cuisine Hall that he had remembered several times.

Perhaps because he was a businessman, the owner of this Jade Cuisine Hall was also very amiable.

He said that they should interact more in the future, and eating at the Jade Cuisine Hall would be directly discounted.

Lu Changsheng also belonged to the type of person who was easy to talk to if others were easy to talk to.

After exchanging pleasantries with the other party, he left.

He thought to himself that these three neighbors next to him, except for the one on the left who seemed a bit fierce, these two families were not bad.

Time flew by quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was approaching the end of the month again.

Zhang Shan brought the goods and lists that had been brought in this month for Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge to inspect.

It took them two days to complete the inspection of the goods.

During the process, some defective and flawed products were still found, but not many.

This made Lu Changsheng ask Lu Miaoge why the suppliers that the shop was looking for were not long-term partners.

Why were there always defective and flawed products inside each time?

Faced with this question, Lu Miaoge only said that although they were long-term cooperative partners, only some were long-term and fixed.

Because there would be changes during the period, it was necessary to find new cooperative supply partners.

Hearing this, Lu Changsheng also nodded.

He knew that the Lu family’s supply was not completely stable.

Therefore, in terms of quality, this situation was simply unavoidable.

Thinking that Lu Miaoge would not be here in two months.

At that time, he would have to spend three or four days each month to inspect the goods, and Lu Changsheng also had a headache.

After all, this thing was really boring and exhausting.

After giving the confirmed list after inspection to Zhang Shan, Lu Changsheng also agreed with Lu Miaoge to return to Green Bamboo Mountain in two days.

Two days later, Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge rode the Iron Feather Eagle back to Green Bamboo Mountain.

Xiaoqing was naturally left in Nine Dragons Market and could not follow him back and forth.

When he returned to Nine Dragons Market, he would also have to bring Guan Xin over, and it would not be convenient for too many people.

The two returned to Green Bamboo Mountain safely all the way.

After returning home, Lu Changsheng also learned that his twenty-fifth child had been born.

Moreover, on the third day after his return, his twenty-sixth child was also born.

There were no unexpected surprises.

Neither of these two children had spiritual roots.

Lu Changsheng was very calm about this.

There was still a month left, and Lu Miaoyun was also about to give birth.

Lu Changsheng had some expectations and valued the child in Lu Miaoyun’s womb.

He even thought to himself, should he just stay in Green Bamboo Mountain this month, wait for Lu Miaoyun to give birth, and see the child born before leaving.

However, considering that after Lu Miaoyun gives birth, the next month will be Qu Zhenzhen’s child being born.

He couldn’t possibly wait for Lu Miaoyun and not wait for Qu Zhenzhen, right?

In such matters, one should worry not about scarcity, but about inequality.

But if he waited for both of them, he felt like he wouldn’t need to go out at all.

In the end, Lu Changsheng decided to spend these few days accompanying them properly.

Then, he would estimate the time and plan to go home early when the time came, staying at home for a few more days.

This could also be considered a special privilege for his wives.

During these three days at home, Lu Changsheng still spent his time with his wives, concubines, and children, not doing much cultivation or talisman making.

This time, when he went to listen to the Fourth Elder’s teachings on talismans, the Fourth Elder also directly handed over to Lu Changsheng the talismans for the monthly restock of the shop.

There weren’t many talismans, a total of three top-grade talismans, thirty high-grade talismans, and thirty mid-grade talismans.

The latest novels can be found on 69shu.com!

This made Lu Changsheng think to himself, could it be that the Fourth Elder only draws one high-grade talisman and one mid-grade talisman every day?

However, he also remembered that the Lu family also had several shops in other market cities, and the Fourth Elder probably had to provide some talismans as well.

In the blink of an eye, three days passed, and Lu Changsheng returned to Nine Dragons Market City with Lu Miaoge.

Seeing that Lu Changsheng had brought Guan Xin along again, Lu Miaoge sighed slightly.

After all, just last month, she had told Lu Changsheng that cultivation and strength were fundamental.

Lu Changsheng had responded with a firm expression at the time.

But how long has it been? He not only bought a maid in Nine Dragons Market City, but also brought a maid from home.

However, she wasn’t a talkative person.

She would only mention such things once and wouldn’t bring them up a second time.

After returning to Nine Dragons Market City, Lu Changsheng used the house deed to obtain a free residence identity plate for Guan Xin and settled her down.

He told her to talk to Xiaoqing if she had any problems.

Xiaoqing was now mainly in charge here.

In the following time, Lu Changsheng began his comfortable life of daily cultivation, talisman making, baby making, and going to and from work.

During this period, Gao He came over to visit and chat, seeking Lu Changsheng to exchange talisman Dao insights.

Lu Changsheng was naturally polite to someone as amiable as Gao He, and he drank tea and chatted with him for most of an hour, making Gao He feel greatly benefited.

Ten days later.

Lu Changsheng learned that Xiaoqing was pregnant.

He was very happy about this.

After all, Xiaoqing also had a ninth-grade spiritual root, and there was a high probability of giving birth to a child with a spiritual root.

However, afterwards, a faint sense of worry arose in his heart.

He usually had Xiaoqing do everything for him.

Now that Xiaoqing was pregnant, it wouldn’t be good to let her keep busy.

Thinking that as soon as someone around him was able to do things, they would soon become pregnant and unable to work.

In this way, there would never be someone around who could stably do things.

“I have to find someone to specialize in doing things, to be the steward of this courtyard.”

Lu Changsheng thought to himself.

He couldn’t help but think of the beast-eared girls in White Jade Tower.

These beast-eared girls were cultivated by White Jade Tower with special methods and secret techniques, and they were unable to reproduce.

If he bought one back to act as a steward, it seemed like it would be good.

However, these beast-eared girls were quite expensive.

They basically cost dozens of spirit stones, easily reaching hundreds of spirit stones.

To find one that suited his heart, it would probably cost hundreds of spirit stones.

In Lu Changsheng’s view, it was too wasteful to spend hundreds of spirit stones to buy a beast-eared girl.

What’s more, he was currently in dire need of spirit stones.

“That’s not right, I’m not a breeding machine, it’s not like every woman in my courtyard has to get pregnant, I can just arrange for two maids to do things and not let them get pregnant.”

Lu Changsheng came back to his senses and was a little speechless at his own thoughts, feeling like he had fallen into a mental trap from having babies every day.

As a cultivator, he might not be able to make a woman get pregnant for sure.

But he could still prevent a woman from getting pregnant.

Thinking that he still had seven maids in White Jade Tower that hadn’t been sent over, they would probably arrive in a few days.

Lu Changsheng planned to pick two from them to specialize in managing affairs.

The next day.

Gao He came over again to chat with Lu Changsheng, exchanging insights on the talisman Dao.

This made Lu Changsheng shake his head secretly.

In his opinion, as neighbors, this kind of thing should only be discussed occasionally.

If they really talked about it, there wasn’t much to talk about in this regard.

Mainly because the two were not on the same level at all.

For him to exchange talisman Dao insights with Gao He was like a professor discussing elementary school homework with an elementary school student.

However, he also knew that this was because he had shown great insight in talismans during the previous two chats.

Gao He had gained something in the talisman Dao, which was why he was like this.

This time, he also paid a little attention, making himself appear relatively ordinary.

One was to avoid Gao He from frequently coming to him to exchange talisman Dao insights.

The other was also that he was a mid-grade talisman master to the outside world, and he couldn’t show too much.

During the chat, Lu Changsheng also asked Gao He about the operating model of the spirit talisman shop he was in, and his usual work content.

To see if there was anything he could learn from.

Gao He didn’t hide anything about this and told the truth.

The spirit talisman shop he was in charge of had a similar operating model to the Lu family’s spirit talisman shop.

It was just that in terms of supply, quality control, and talismans, it was not as good as the Lu family’s spirit talisman shop.

Lu Changsheng nodded slightly, understanding roughly.

In fact, whether it was a spirit talisman shop, a pill shop, a magic tool shop, or a formation shop, etc., related shops.

As long as you have the strength, your business won’t be bad, you will definitely be able to make it!

Like the Lu family’s spirit talisman shop, in addition to the reputation of the Green Bamboo Lu family, the core competitiveness was the Fourth Elder’s three top-grade talismans and thirty high-grade talismans.

“As long as I keep drawing lottery, maybe I can become a full-time craftsman.”

“When the time comes, I can cultivate my children in this direction, or cultivate more craftsmen, so that not only can I ensure the family’s stable income, but the children don’t have to go out to fight and kill, earning resources through desperate efforts.”

“After all, what I seek is stability, everything stable, surpasses everything else.”

Lu Changsheng thought about his future path again.

Three days later.

A servant from White Jade Tower came over, saying that the maids Lu Changsheng had purchased had been delivered.

Hearing this, Lu Changsheng went to White Jade Tower with the servant.

It was still the charming and alluring Feng Jiuniang who received him.

Every time he saw this Feng Jiuniang, Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but sigh, a rare beauty!

“Young Master Lu, are you satisfied?”

Feng Jiuniang led the seven maids up and asked Lu Changsheng.

Lu Changsheng didn’t continue to use the name Han Li, but said his real name.

After all, he had only subconsciously borrowed a fake name at the time.

Moreover, he also knew that this White Jade Tower manager obviously knew his true identity, and there was no need to hide it anymore, otherwise it would be strange to hear Young Master Han every time, and he would have to explain it to the purchased maids afterwards.

“No problem.”

Lu Changsheng looked at the seven charming and beautiful maids in front of him, and nodded.

These seven maids were not only superior in appearance and figure.

And some of them had martial arts skills and had practiced the Alluring Maiden Yuan Cultivation Technique.

Otherwise, if they were just ordinary maids, it would have been impossible for him to spend one hundred and sixteen spirit stones to buy nine maids.

In White Jade Tower, perfectly interpreting that you get what you pay for!

After paying the subsequent spirit stones, Lu Changsheng took the seven women’s spirit contracts, left White Jade Tower, and returned to his residence.

Following behind with such seven charming maids, Lu Changsheng’s walking on the street was simply a full rate of return.

“Whose young master is this, bringing seven charming young ladies with him when he goes out.”

“I don’t recognize him, probably the young master of some family.”

“It seems to be the new owner of the Green Bamboo Lu family’s spirit talisman shop?”

“This life is my dream.”

“Hmph, just mortal women, I can have as many of these women as I want!”

“Looking at their appearance, figure, and temperament, they are not ordinary secular women.”

“I just saw him come out of White Jade Tower, he should have bought them at White Jade Tower.”

“Rich, that’s great!”

“Greedy for female beauty and enjoyment, how can you cultivate immortals in this situation!”

“That’s right, this is just a degenerate behavior.”

Passersby on the road looked at Lu Changsheng, some were envious and jealous, some spoke disdainfully, and some looked at Lu Changsheng, revealing strange colors.

Many women also looked at Lu Changsheng sideways, and seeing his handsome face, slender and tall figure, and calm and gentle temperament, their eyes gleamed, revealing a heartfelt expression.

Even, there were several female cultivators who directly mustered up the courage to step forward and chat with Lu Changsheng.

Asking if he was married and if he had any intention of taking a wife.

Faced with this kind of approach, although Lu Changsheng was a little tempted, he refused them all.

He said that he was already married and currently had no intention of taking a wife, but he could consider taking concubines and maids.

Not only was he himself very cautious about taking a wife.

But also because he had some concerns about the Lu family.

In his opinion, it was okay for him to take a few concubines and buy some maids to serve him.

If he kept marrying wives, where would he put Lu Miaoyun and the Lu family?

After all, it had not been a year since he married Lu Miaoyun.

Immediately, Lu Changsheng took the seven women and quickly returned to his residence.

“It seems that in the future, when buying maids at White Jade Tower, I either have to bring them back in batches, or directly have White Jade Tower send them to my home.”

“Otherwise, this situation is a bit conspicuous, not only does it feel like being watched like a monkey, but it may even be targeted as a fat sheep.”

After returning home, Lu Changsheng thought to himself.

He didn’t feel the slightest bit of pretense from the envious eyes and chats of the passersby on the road.

Instead, he felt uneasy, worried about being targeted.

Xiaoqing, Shao Yuyao, and Guan Xin didn’t know what to say for a while when they saw their young master bring back seven charming maids from outside again.

But thinking of Lu Changsheng’s abundant energy at night, they were relieved.

Knowing that these seven people would all be pregnant sooner or later.

“From now on, you will be called Ye Lian, you will be called Hongmian, you will be called Zimei, you will be called Canglan…”

At this time, Lu Changsheng named the seven new maids.

The previous two maids were named Haitang and Baihe by him, so he thought of unifying the names.

“Yes, Master!”

These maids were all very sensible.

That night.

Lu Changsheng also began to understand and experience the famous instruments that Lu Miaocheng had once mentioned.
