Chapter 72: Seeing Second Miss Again, Brother Cheng Takes You to Read Books and Sip Tea!

After Lu Changsheng came down from the second floor, he went to the first floor and checked out the items for sale in the store.

See if there’s anything you want.

He also wanted to buy a magic weapon talisman pen, and some extremely high quality talisman paper and extremely high quality spirit ink on this trip out.

When he was at the third level of Qi Refining, Lu Changsheng had attempted to draw top-grade talismans.

However, it was limited by the cultivation level and the talisman making tools, resulting in a low rate of success.

Only a dozen or so were drawn to keep on hand for accidents.

After breaking through the fourth level of Qi Refinement not long ago, he tried to draw a top-grade talisman again, and it was still a bit difficult.

Only a few simpler top-grade talismans could be drawn.

And the rate of success is almost only 40-50%.

For other talisman masters, this rate of talisman formation was already very okay.

But in Lu Changsheng’s opinion, it was still a bit short.

So thinking, buy a better magic weapon talisman pen, and then buy some superb talisman paper, spirit ink.

In this way, not only would the rate of talisman formation be increased, but for some of the more difficult top-grade talismans, he would also have the certainty to draw them.

It’s one thing if the talisman is sold or not when the time comes.

At least put a few more top-grade talismans on your body and feel a little more secure.

Otherwise, what if this Nine Dragons Market and Green Bamboo Mountain go back and forth and encounter accidents?

Lu Changsheng looked up the items for sale in the store.

Most of the talismans for sale were mainly lower grade talismans.

Then there were basic and mid-grade talismans, as well as a small number of top-grade talismans.

In addition to spirit talismans, the store not only had talisman pens, talisman paper, and spirit ink, but also some related raw materials, as well as talisman-related books.

He then looked at the prices of the magic weapon talisman pens, the extremely high grade talisman paper and the extremely high grade spirit ink in the counter of the talisman making tools.

Lower-grade magic weapon talisman brush, seventy spirit stones.

Medium-grade magic weapon talisman brush, two hundred spirit stones.

Top-grade magic weapon talisman pen, six hundred spirit stones.

Extreme talisman paper, with different qualities, is categorized into fine and good.

Fine, fifty spirit stones in a pile of ten.

Good quality, thirty spirit stones in a pile of ten.

Extremely high quality spirit ink, there are also different qualities, categorized into fine and good quality.

Fine products, fifty spirit stones a box.

Good quality, thirty spirit stones a box.

“That’s expensive.”

Lu Changsheng looked at the price tag on it and couldn’t help but smack his lips slightly.

He had felt, before, that he was quite rich.

But when I looked at the prices on it, I realized that I was poor, exceptionally poor.

With the spirit stones on his body, there wasn’t much left after buying a mid-grade magic weapon talisman pen.

“For me at the moment only, a mid-grade magic weapon talisman pen is enough.”

“And unlike ordinary talisman pens, magic weapon talisman pens are very durable and can be used thousands of times without worrying too much about breakage.”

Lu Changsheng stroked his chin, intending to purchase a mid-grade magic weapon talisman pen.

After all, it’s a thing that lasts a long time when you buy it.

As for the price of the talisman paper and spirit ink, it was okay in his opinion, it wasn’t that expensive.

After all, a top-grade talisman was able to sell for thirty to fifty spirit stones.

The very best talismans, on the other hand, could be sold for more than two hundred spirit stones!

But being able to sell at these prices is also because of the threshold, the difficulty here.

Like the Fourth Elder, as a first rank top talisman master, he only sold three extremely high quality talismans every month, also because the failure rate was too high.

Deducting the cost of time spent and the cost of materials, there is only a limited amount that can be earned.

Not everyone was as hung as Lu Changsheng, making talismans was like eating and drinking water.

“There’s no hurry first, I’m mainly using my spirit stones to purchase the materials for the Hundred Refinement Treasure Body Technique, so let’s go over to Southwest Street tomorrow.”

“Let’s see if there are any materials suitable for the Hundred Refined Treasure Body Skill, and also see if we can sell some talismans for money.”

Lu Changsheng secretly said in his heart.

Immediately, he asked the shopkeeper, Zhang Shan, how much the cost price of magic weapon talisman pens, extremely high quality talisman paper, and spirit ink like these.

Zhang Shan did not hide this and said truthfully.

The entry price of a lower-grade magic weapon talisman pen was forty-three spirit stones.

The entry price of a mid-grade magic weapon talisman pen was one hundred and thirty-nine spirit stones, and the entry price of a top-grade magic weapon talisman pen was five hundred spirit stones.

Because the Lu family didn’t have a refiner, this was also imported from other places to sell.

As for the talisman paper and spirit ink, the high-quality products were homemade by the Lu family, and the good products had homemade, but also looking to provide materials to find someone to make them, and Zhang Shan was not sure about the cost.

After hearing the words, Lu Changsheng nodded, intending that if he wanted to buy a magic talisman pen at that time, he could take one directly at the store at cost.

He then asked some questions about the store’s daily revenue, sales, what talismans sold well, and the prices, quantities, and so on, of talismans acquired from other places.

Because Lu Changsheng had an idea in his mind.

If the store was to be under his sole responsibility to take care of it in the future, would he be able to get rid of all the talismans on his body through this store.

Zhang Shan replied truthfully to all these questions, allowing Lu Changsheng to gain a certain understanding of this spirit talisman store.

Knowing the business of this spirit talisman store, it was considered a good business in the Nine Dragons Square Market, and could have a revenue of thousands of spirit stones every month.

“It seems that this Spirit Talisman Shop of the Lu Family is doing even better business than I thought.”

After Lu Changsheng heard this information, he couldn’t help but say in his heart.

After chatting with Zhang Shan for a while, Lu Changsheng didn’t continue to ask more questions.

When he returned to the lounge on the third floor, he saw that Lu Miaogao was still inside the talisman room, so he began to meditate and cultivate.

Almost near dusk, Lu Miaogao came out of the talisman room.

Tell Lu Changsheng that he can usually go back at this point.

Although there was no curfew in the Nine Dragons Square Market, the people would be much colder at night.

After all, cultivators have to practice and rest too.

And Li Shi Wang Dance lived in the store and was able to help watch over it.

Afterward, Lu Miaogao led Lu Changsheng to the Lu Family Compound in the Eastern District.

It’s also a short walk to the East End Lu Family Compound from here.

The two of them walked rather quickly, and it was almost half a bell.

This compound of the Lu family covered an area of almost two thousand square feet.

It was naturally small compared to the Green Bamboo Valley’s residence.

However, in terms of the Nine Dragons Square City where every inch of gold was used, this courtyard was already considered large.

Lu Changsheng curiously inquired Lu Miaogao how many spirit stones were needed for such a large compound.

Lu Miaogao is also not sure of the exact price.

Just say that a compound like this one is basically rented from three to five years.

As for the price, it ranged from tens to hundreds of spirit stones a year.

Hearing this made Lu Changsheng unable to stop smacking his lips.

A year’s rent would cost tens or hundreds of spirit stones, so wouldn’t it cost thousands of spirit stones to buy?

Sure enough, it’s not easy to buy a house no matter where you are.

Arriving at the compound, Lu Miaogao asked the housekeeper in the courtyard if the Second Elder was at home.

Now that he had brought Lu Changsheng over, he naturally had to meet this Second Elder of the Lu Family.

The housekeeper indicated that the Second Elder was resting in the backyard and brought the two of them to pay their respects to the Second Elder.

Not long after, Lu Changsheng met this Second Elder of the Lu Family.

He had white hair, but his face was very rosy and glossy like a baby’s.

The tall body was wearing a green-colored robe, with a jasper bamboo staff in his hand, giving people a sense of oppression without anger.

This Second Elder was in charge of the Lu Family’s business and had been away for a long time, this was the first time Lu Changsheng had met him.

“Second Elder!”

“Second Grandpa!”

Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaogao arched their hands in unison towards the Second Elder.

The Second Elder nodded and got up to look at Lu Changsheng, revealing a few smiles as he said, “You’re Changsheng, aren’t you? At such an age, you’re already a mid-grade talisman master, that’s very good.”

“In the future, in this Nine Dragons Market, you can come directly to me for anything.”

The Second Elder’s broad palm, patted Lu Changsheng’s shoulder and said so.

“Yes, Second Elder.”

Lu Changsheng responded respectfully.

The Second Elder then asked the butler to arrange room accommodations for Lu Changsheng.

At the same time, he said that he would set up a banquet in the evening to receive him, so that he could get to know the other children of the Lu family and have more contacts and exchanges in general.

To these words, Lu Changsheng naturally responded respectfully.

Knowing that he was now integrated into the Lu family, these interpersonal interactions and human relationships were hard to avoid.

Immediately, the butler arranged a side yard for him.

The courtyard wasn’t big, only a hundred square feet or so, a bit smaller than the courtyard he had at the Green Bamboo Villa.

With the simple array effect of sound insulation and spirit gathering, the aura was inferior to that within the Green Bamboo Valley, but it was quite a bit better than the Green Bamboo Villa.

At night, a servant came to inform Lu Changsheng to attend the dinner.

Lu Changsheng nodded and came to the lobby.

“Hmm?”

Lu Changsheng had just arrived at the lobby and saw that apart from the Second Elder, Lu Miaogao, there were also two Lu Family Stewards who were of the same generation as Lu Yuanding, as well as five Lu Family children.

His gaze, however, instantly landed on a, stunningly beautiful woman standing with Lu Miaogue.

The woman a white crane embroidered dress, tight dress perfectly outlined the curves of the front and back, through the dress are her wonderful body at a glance.

But seeing the hem of her skirt cut open, one could see that on her straight and slender legs, she was wearing a pair of white silk stockings with thin, cicada-like wings, making the rounded jade legs, which were originally white and smooth, a little more noble and holy temptation.

The tiny jade feet wrapped in white stockings stepped on a pair of light silver high heels with a flowing cloud pattern, setting off the shapely figure, even taller and more colorful.

This woman was none other than the second young miss who had once been on a blind date with Lu Changsheng, Lu Miaohuan.

Lu Changsheng didn’t expect that this second young lady would actually be in this Nine Dragons Market.

And this second lady actually went from black silk to white.

I have to say, Miss Two has a really good body.

The legs, in particular, were perfectly proportioned, one point more was fat, one point less was thin, straight and round.

Both black and white silk gave a stunning and seductive look on her.

“Hmph!”

Lu Miaohuan also saw Lu Changsheng, and when she saw the latter’s gaze fall on her, she directly grunted with an icy expression and turned her head to look away.

Lu Changsheng just laughed a little and treated it as if he didn’t see it.

Knowing that this second young lady still holds a grudge.

That’s normal.

The matter of the two people’s matchmaking was only half a year in the past, he himself rejected this second young lady and turned around to marry Lu Miaoyun, with this second young lady’s high and proud young lady’s nature, how could he forget and not hold a grudge.

If it wasn’t for the Second Elder hosting a banquet to receive the guests, this Second Miss probably wouldn’t even see herself, where could she have a good face.

However, seeing Lu Miaogue and Lu Miaohuan, a pair of sisters with similar looks and figures, standing side by side, made Lu Changsheng’s mind unable to help but think what would happen if Missy was also dressed like this.

Or maybe the sisters are white and black.

Lu Changsheng didn’t dare to think too much and immediately suppressed the intention in his heart.

This stuff is too exciting to think about.

If the family head Lu Yuanding knew that he hit his two daughters idea, he was afraid that he would not split himself with a sword.

“Second Elder.”

He arched his hand towards the Second Elder and saluted.

“Everlasting, let me introduce you.”

The second elder naturally saw Lu Miaohuan’s little behavior, but didn’t say anything.

Knowing a little bit about Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaohuan’s little feud.

At first it was this matter, Lu Yuanding saw his daughter at home irritable, so she came to the Nine Dragons Market, looking for something to do, but also scattered.

Immediately, under the second elder’s introduction, Lu Changsheng got acquainted with these two Lu Family Stewards, as well as with the other four Lu Family children.

These people were able to work in the Nine Dragons Market, and their status was not low in the Lu Family, belonging to the future senior management.

Except for Lu Miaohuan, who didn’t give Lu Changsheng a good face because of his grudge, the other few people seemed to be very enthusiastic.

After all, there is no such thing as love or hate without a reason.

Lu Changsheng had an easy-going personality, never offended anyone, and was a mid-grade talisman master, so they were naturally willing to make friends.

Especially for them, they all knew something about Lu Changsheng’s talent in making talismans, and the family had been letting Lu Changsheng completely integrate into the Lu family, so naturally, they would think even more about making good friends with Lu Changsheng, and it was impossible for them to do things that would offend people.

Just like this, Lu Changsheng also counted acquaintances with a few people.

Wine and food, the crowd left the scene, a young man called Lu Miaocheng, riding on Lu Changsheng shoulders, said with a self acquaintance, “Changsheng, you this first time to go out, as a host, sincere brother I will take you to read a book and taste tea tomorrow.”

“Reading a book and sipping tea?”

Lu Changsheng froze.

“That’s right, this teahouse is very good, there are many famous teas, books of all kinds of categories, especially yesterday, a batch of new teas and new books just came in, definitely won’t let you down.”

Lu Miaocheng said meaningfully.

“Brother Makoto, this reading and sipping tea of yours, is it proper?”

Lu Changsheng vaguely heard something wrong and asked in a somewhat odd tone.

Lu Miaocheng looked to the side and lowered his voice, “Don’t worry, I can take you to the serious? Tomorrow together, I’ll take you up?”

Lu Changsheng was slightly silent.

Sure enough, I hadn’t guessed, it wasn’t proper reading and sipping tea.

I’m your brother-in-law at least!

What kind of great-uncle takes his brother-in-law to get a better understanding of this area?

Besides, I just came to Nine Dragons Place and you’re telling me this, isn’t it not a good idea to take me to a place like this.

Or is that what I am in your mind?

Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but wonder in his heart, then said, “Brother Cheng, I’m not such a person to go to such a place.”

“How can you increase your experience if you don’t see more of the world out here? This is also a kind of experience.”

“There is a way, beauty such as tea must be tasted slowly, red face such as a book to be read carefully, this reading books and sipping tea, see is the world, taste is a hundred flavors of life, is the best way to increase the experience of life.”

“Don’t worry, I will definitely not tell Clan Sister Miao Yun about this.”

Lu Miaocheng said so.

Lu Changsheng: “…”

Nima, going to a green house is actually said to be so refreshing.

Lu Changsheng didn’t think that the Lu family actually had this kind of talent.

However, he actually felt that the other party was right, it made a bit of sense, and it was a way to see the world and increase his experience.

When a man goes out, he has to see more of the world, right?

“Next time.”

Lu Changsheng said after a moment of contemplation.

Although he wanted to experience and gain insights, but this just coming to the Nine Dragons Market and doing this kind of thing made him feel a little guilty in his heart.

And since business was important, he was planning to go to the street of scattered stalls tomorrow to stroll around and take a look.

“Alright, if you want to go one day, you can look for Brother Cheng me, I’m familiar with this part of the Nine Dragons Square City.”

Seeing Lu Changsheng like this, Lu Miaocheng patted Lu Changsheng’s shoulder and said, also feeling a bit bored.

He had heard of Lu Changsheng’s reputation and thought that he would be able to find a confidant, a fellow traveler, but it turned out that he didn’t expect the latter to actually refuse.

“Okay, thanks Makoto.”

Lu Changsheng nodded and returned to his room residence, meditating and cultivating for two hours before lying down to sleep.

But lying in bed, how can some can not sleep, always feel that something is missing.

“Ugh, it’s all a bit uncomfortable being alone all of a sudden.”

Lu Changsheng sighed slightly.

He was used to sleeping with his wife and concubines in his arms every night, and this sudden sleeping alone made him all a bit uncomfortable and feel unsettled.

Immediately, he got up, took out the talisman making tools from his storage bag, and began to draw talismans.

After drawing three medium grade talismans, he felt his mind and spirit feel more than a little tired, took out the White Jade Hundred Flowers Wine and took a sip, then lay down on the bed and gradually fell into sleep.

The next day, Lu Changsheng woke up, and after a simple morning meal, he went to find Lu Miaogue for companionship and headed to the Spiritual Symbol Shop.

In the process, Lu Miaohuan was seen again.

But the latter was not at all kind to him.

Originally, he was still chatting and talking with his own sister Lu Miaogao, and when he saw him coming, he immediately gave an icy cold hum, his face full of dislike.

“Huanhuan she’s just this nature, there’s really no malice, don’t you mind.”

With a few apologies on her face, Lu Miaogao spoke out.

Last night, Lu Miaohuan even came to her to ask why Lu Changsheng had come to the Nine Dragons Market.

She didn’t hide it either, and told her sister Lu Miaohuan about the Fourth Elder wanting to hand over the store to Lu Changsheng to take care of.

After hearing this, Lu Miaohuan, although the words for Lu Changsheng all sorts of cold words, thinking that he will also take care of the store, how it must be.

But knowing her sister’s character well, she knew.

The more this happened, the more it showed that his sister cared about Lu Changsheng.

If Lu Miaohuan didn’t care about Lu Changsheng, she wouldn’t be like this at all, acting like this.

She couldn’t help but sigh slightly at the thought.

If Lu Changsheng was just an average common Immortal Cultivator, this kind of thing, his own sister might have gradually forgotten about it after a while and not put it on her mind.

But the problem was that Lu Changsheng was not an ordinary Immortal Cultivator.

Not only was he handsome, but he was also gifted in the rune path and rode it to the top.

Over time, one would become a First Order Upper Grade Rune Master, a First Order Top Rune Master, or even a Second Order Rune Master.

Now, Lu Changsheng had come to the Nine Dragons Market to meet his sister again.

This situation would make his sister keep this matter in her mind, remembering Lu Changsheng, and would gradually form a subtle yet dangerous emotion.

But she didn’t know how to persuade this sister of hers in the face of such things.

Because Lu Miaohuan also didn’t like to listen to her preaching, and would even be rebellious.

“It’s fine, the second young miss has a forthright personality, why would I care.”

“Besides, I do blame myself for this.”

Lu Changsheng said with a slight shake of his head.

He didn’t care much about Lu Miaohuan’s attitude.

After all, he did cajole the other person to say a whole lot of nice things when he was on the first blind date.

As a result, in the end, the other person should accept the offer, but he or she refused, whoever would be a little upset.

Not to mention Lu Miaohuan’s high-minded and proud young lady nature.

Moreover, Lu Changsheng felt that he also had a bit of a Yan Dog tendency.

It will be relatively quite a bit more forgiving for good-looking women.

The two of them chatted idly as they walked, and when they arrived at the entrance of the Spiritual Symbol Shop, Lu Changsheng indicated to Lu Miaoge that if there was nothing else to do today, he would go out for a stroll.

Hearing this, Lu Miaogao was silent for a moment before saying, “You usually spend less time with Miaocheng, don’t follow him to some immodest places.”

When Lu Changsheng heard this, he was first stunned and a bit confused, then he couldn’t help but lie down in his heart.

“Crap, how bad must this Makoto brother’s reputation be!”

Yesterday Lu Miaocheng just tapped his shoulder and said a few words to himself.

As a result, when she said she wanted to go out for a stroll today, Lu Miaogue assumed that she wanted to go with Lu Miaocheng to read books and sip tea.

This made Lu Changsheng not know what to say for a while.

Even had the illusion of going to the hook to hear about being caught by his wife.

“Sister Miaoge, Brother Makoto called out to me yesterday to read a book and sip tea, but I refused outright.”

“I just thought I’d take a casual stroll over to Southwest Street to see the casual market.”

Lu Changsheng immediately opened his mouth and said, directly setting aside his relationship with Lu Miaocheng.

He really didn’t think that the latter’s reputation could be so bad.

“Okay, I’ve got the store, go ahead.”

“Why don’t you let Li Shi, or Wang Dance take you for a stroll, they are very familiar with the inside of the marketplace.”

Lu Miaogao didn’t say much, nodded slightly and said this.

“No, I’ll just walk around and hang out.”

Lu Changsheng waved his hand, indicating that there was no need.

He still remembered clearly the way Li Shi Wang Dance looked at him yesterday.

So do not really want to touch too much, otherwise it is all going to make the employees do not want to work.

“Good, you remember to come back before dark, do you have a messenger talisman on you, if you get lost, you can send me a message.”

“There are also many guides within the marketplace, specializing in giving introductions to the marketplace and guiding the stores, so you can find a guide if you want to go buy something.”

Lu Miaogao’s voice was soft, as if she was an elder, and she instructed Lu Changsheng.

Lu Changsheng felt that the Lu Miaogao in front of him was suddenly a bit Fourth Elderized.

Treat yourself like an untouched child.

You know, he’s the father of thirty children.

However, he also knew that Lu Miaogao was treating himself like a younger brother or something.

“Okay, don’t worry about it, Sister Miaoge.”

Lu Changsheng smiled and waved his hand and said.

In his heart, he felt that if Lu Miaogang really treated himself as a younger brother, then it would be a little more difficult to make this relationship go sour.
