Chapter 93 Hit the screws on the assembly line!

Chapter 93 Hit the screws on the assembly line!

“Well, kinda?”

When Lu Changsheng heard this system beep, he was instantly delighted.

In the boring and uneventful life he leads every day, only giving birth to a baby and the system lottery can make some waves in his heart.

“Is it true that for every ten children I have in the future, the system will come along with a share of the money?”

Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but think in his heart.

“System, I want a lottery!”

He didn’t speculate too much.

After all, this stuff is more speculation than anticipation.

As soon as there is expectation, there is disappointment.

Looking at the lottery disk floating in front of him, Lu Changsheng’s mind moved slightly, “Start the lottery!”

Immediately, the raffle disk began to flow with golden light.

Under Lu Changsheng’s watchful eye, the golden light eventually stopped at ‘skill’.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for acquiring the second-order puppet skill!

[Reward has been issued to the system space, the host can check at any time]

A golem-like ball of light emerged from the Grand Carousel, accompanied by a system voice.

“Second-order puppetry skills?”

Lu Changsheng raised an eyebrow when he saw his lottery skill this time.

Puppetry was one of the colder arts among the hundred arts of Immortal Cultivation.

Although it was not as good as the four major types of formation, alchemy, artifacts, and talismans.

But it’s a pretty good craft, relatively speaking.

Life can’t be bad if you learn to live it.

Or rather, if one learns any of the hundred arts of Immortal Cultivation and becomes proficient in them, none of them will be bad.

Even the most spiritual plant, butcher, medicinal food, breeding and other skills, as long as the craft is good, do a good job, life days will become sweeter and sweeter.

Lu Changsheng’s mind moved slightly as he looked at the light cluster in the system space.

[Second Order Puppet Technique: After using it, you can directly comprehend the second order full-grade puppet technique and the corresponding puppet book].

“Sure enough, just like the talisman making I obtained before, I directly obtained a second-order full-grade puppet skill, which means that at the highest, I can refine puppets comparable to those at the peak of Foundation Establishment.”

“With this puppet skill, in the future, I’ll not only be able to rune sea tactics, I’ll also be able to conduct puppet sea tactics!”

“If I have a few second-order puppets on me, then my safety will be guaranteed in the future!”

Lu Changsheng looked at the above instructions and nodded slightly, satisfied.

He still felt good about the craft, quite liked it, and it suited him.

Or rather, for all the hundred arts of Immortal Cultivation, Lu Changsheng felt good.

After all, there’s no such thing as too much skill!

Being more crafty is not a bad thing.

Even if you can’t use it yourself for the time being, you can teach it to your children and pass it on to others in the future when you build your family.

Lu Changsheng had thought about it a long time ago.

If he had established a cultivation family, he would still be the same as he is now.

Do not fight, do not fight, make connections, and make money.

The entire family relied on a single craft to make money and cultivate in peace.

Immediately.

Lu Changsheng put the second-order puppet techniques within the system space to use.

In an instant, a wave of intellectual information poured into his mind out of nowhere.

The Puppets for the First Time

The Complete Book of Basic Puppets

The Complete Book of First Order Puppets

The Complete Book of Second Order Puppets

“I build puppets with my bare hands.

How the Puppet Was Created

“My Thing with the Golem.

Ryoko.

A bunch of information about puppet-related knowledge flooded into Lu Changsheng’s mind.

For the identification of the materials used to make the golem.

How to take the skeletons of demonic beasts, ferocious beasts, and create puppets.

Formation inscriptions for puppets, spirit pivots and spirit controls, and so on.

“Whew!”

“Worthy of being a system, even if I’ve already experienced it once before, this feeling still feels mysterious.”

Lu grew to exhale and looked at his hands.

Not only was there a bunch more puppet-related knowledge in his mind.

It felt like I had been making, assembling, polishing, and refining puppets for decades with these hands, too.

If he had a bunch of materials right now, he would be able to perform an unarmed puppet building on the spot.

“However, this puppet skill doesn’t seem to be as good as I thought it would be.”

Lu Changsheng frowned slightly after absorbing the Second Order Puppet Technique.

According to what he knew in his head about puppet making.

Found a couple of big problems with making puppets.

Time consuming!

Costs money!

Even if he had second-order puppet skills and was a second-order puppet master!

With readily available materials, it would take two or three days, or even longer, to build an ordinary first-order lower-grade puppet.

As for a first-order mid-grade puppet, it would take at least seven or eight days, or even ten days and half a month.

As for the first-order upper-grade puppets, it would take even longer, basically starting at ten days and half a month.

Normally, he had to cultivate, make talismans, and accompany his concubines and make babies, Lu Changsheng clearly knew that he didn’t have so much time and energy to build puppets in bulk.

Moreover, the costly materials needed to make puppets were high.

Lu Changsheng made a preliminary estimate.

An ordinary first-order lower-grade puppet would cost twenty to thirty spirit stones just for the cost of the materials.

He wasn’t sure of the exact price of an inferior puppet though.

However, it was also roughly known that a lower-grade puppet would not cost more than a hundred spirit stones.

In other words, making a puppet and working on it for three or four days would only end up with three or four times the profit.

This is a disgrace compared to the talisman!

“No wonder there is a chain of contempt between craftsmen, formation, alchemy, refining, and talismans, the mainstream four arts look down on the other crafts.”

“Puppets are considered okay among the hundred arts of Immortal Cultivation, but compared to a relatively easy and profitable craft like talisman making, the gap comes out all of a sudden.”

“Not to mention that in the mainstream four arts of cultivation, talismans are still at the bottom of the list.”

Lu Changsheng shook his head with emotion.

At once, he felt that this second-rank puppet skill was a bit of a chicken rib for his current situation.

First of all, there’s no way to use this skill to make money.

Relying on the manufacture of puppets to make money, where compared to making talismans to make money to easy, come to fast.

Then the time and material costs of manufacturing are too high.

It made the sea of puppets tactics he had originally imagined instantly give up.

He couldn’t afford to play much with even a first-order lower-grade puppet.

As for him wanting to create second-order puppets, there was no need to think about it.

It’s not that there’s no way to build it, it’s simply that there’s no money.

The material cost of a second-order puppet was not very clear to Lu Changsheng.

However, his initial estimation was that it must be at least a few thousand spirit stones.

“It’s too hard!”

Lu Changsheng sighed deeply.

It feels like money is simply needed everywhere on this path of cultivation.

He needed money now to save the suffering female cultivator who was stranded in the White Jade House.

Money was also needed to purchase a First Order Extreme Talisman Pen, buy Second Order Talisman Making Materials, and draw Second Order Talismans.

There wasn’t enough money in itself, and it was very much in need of money, so where was the money left to buy materials and create second-order puppets.

“Alas, one is limited after all.”

“It would be too hard to do everything and leave yourself alone to do everything.”

“There simply isn’t that much time and energy, so it’s no wonder that many craftsmen choose to join a side.”

Lu Changsheng shook his head with emotion.

It was also understandable why many people would choose to join a side of the force.

Because there are so many conveniences to joining the forces.

Just like himself in the Lu family, he also ate a lot of family conveniences.

However, the problem was that the second-order talisman-making on his body, as well as his current second-order puppet, could not be manifested.

There’s no way to quickly turn it into a resource.

And also now he was not strong enough, he did not dare to reveal his second-order skills.

Otherwise, what if he was reduced to a toolman who made talismans for eight hours a day.

“Eh, wait, the art of puppetry, as difficult as it is, it’s mostly difficult in its complexity.”

“Not only do you have to be able to polish the materials, build the parts yourself, refine the parts, assemble and assemble them, but you also have to inscribe the puppet with spirit pattern formations and so on.”

“It’s naturally difficult for one person to master all of this, but these steps can be completely divided up for different people to do.”

Lu Changsheng digested the puppet knowledge in his mind.

Suddenly feeling that this puppet manufacturing was a bit similar to the assembly plant where he had played screws in the assembly line in his past life, he couldn’t help but give birth to an idea.

“Wouldn’t it be easier if a person just mastered one of them.”

“I’m totally looking for a group of somewhat talented apprentices to teach the puppet’s parts, parts, and assembling and assembling to different people separately.”

“Then inscribe the puppet’s most central spirit pattern formation and teach it to someone who is trustworthy, so wouldn’t it be possible to streamline the puppet.”

“As long as the puppets are pipelined and the volume comes up, won’t it be simple to make money?”

“After all, things like talisman making, even if it’s highly profitable, it’s ultimately only one person, where it’s comparable to an assembly line product.”

Lu Changsheng secretly said in his heart.

This idea of one place, the more Lu Changsheng thought about it, the more feasible he felt.

Things like making talismans could only be drawn by oneself.

But with second-order puppetry skills, as a second-order puppet master he realized that puppets could be completely divided up.

The craft of puppetry is difficult in its complexity.

Not only did he have to build the one part component of the refining puppet and assemble it, he also had to inscribe the puppet with spirit pattern formations.

You even have to know the art of organism, human mechanics, physics, mechanical construction and a whole lot more.

But divide that up, industrialize it, and let different people do it, and the bar comes down all of a sudden.

There is every hope that it will become an assembly line industry.

“If I can think of such things, others should be able to think of them, right?”

“Forget it, this is a bit distant for me right now anyway, it’s better to wait until I have the strength in the future before considering it.”

Lu Changsheng shook his head, suppressing the thoughts he had just had.

If he wanted to create a puppet manufacturing industry, how could he not start implementing it until he had some strength?

Now there is no money and no strength, or honestly rely on the production of talismans to make money, give birth to a baby to develop.

Seeing that it was almost evening outside, Lu Changsheng walked out of the Spirit Symbol Shop.

Prepare to go buy some materials for making puppets.

This stuff is costly for what it is, but since it has a craft, how about getting your hands dirty and building two of them for fun.

If you can’t, you can use it as a toy for your child when the time comes.

Lu Changsheng didn’t go over to the scattered cultivator bazaar to purchase materials.

It was a round trip, and it was going to be dark before I could finish my own stroll.

Half a quarter of an hour later.

Lu Changsheng arrived at the Green Cloud Chamber of Commerce.

This was a store opened by the Qing Yun Sect itself, with seven floors, very luxurious.

Inside, pills, magic weapons, techniques, heavenly materials and treasures, and so on are all for sale, and things are guaranteed.

Lu Changsheng came to the Green Cloud Chamber of Commerce and purchased the materials to build a first-order lower-grade puppet and a first-order middle-grade puppet.

He also bought some spiritual materials for cultivating the Hundred Refinement Treasure Body Skill.

Although the Hundred Refinement Treasure Body Technique had the Black Dragon Dharma Bead, one’s own cultivation also progressed at a rapid pace.

However, Lu Changsheng would also take out half an hour every day to cultivate the Hundred Refinement Treasure Body Technique.

In the end, Lu Changsheng bought everything he wanted, spending two hundred and thirty-six spirit stones.

Adding to the woes of his already poor family.

The day of traveling to the White Jade House will be postponed again.

After leaving the Green Cloud Chamber of Commerce, Lu Changsheng passed by a ‘Thousand Machine Pavilion’ that sold puppets.

Went in and inquired about the price of the golem.

The shopkeeper told him that different puppets have different efficacy and functions, and even the same grade has a price difference.

Then spoke to him about the approximate price of the golem.

A first-order lower-grade puppet, priced at roughly seventy to eighty spirit stones.

A first-order mid-grade puppet, priced at roughly three hundred spirit stones.

A first-order upper-grade puppet, priced at roughly one thousand hundred spirit stones.

A first-rank extreme quality puppet, priced at roughly three thousand spirit stones.

After hearing the price, Lu Changsheng excused himself and left.

It wasn’t that the price was too high, he was supposed to find out how much the golem would fetch.

For this price, Lu Changsheng could only say that the puppet thing, making money was natural.

But compared to talismans, it’s only a bit of fortunate money earned.

Of course, if the other side was the assembly line process he envisioned, that was a different story.

After buying the materials, Lu Changsheng didn’t return to the Spirit Symbol Shop and went straight home.

After all, there was a baby born at home today, so naturally I had to go back early to check on it.

After returning home, Lu Changsheng visited his newborn child and carried him to the courtyard to sit idly.

It was okay to sit in the yard with a child in his arms and enjoy the peace and quiet, and it was also a kind of relaxation for Lu Changsheng.

Provided, of course, that the child doesn’t cry.

After sitting quietly for a while, Lily came over to report to Lu Changsheng that Xia Long from next door was visiting.

Hearing this, Lu Changsheng immediately got up, gave the child to Lily to hold, and went to greet him with a smile.

This next door neighbor is a big customer of his.

Every few months, they would come to him to buy talismans, and the purchase would be top-grade talismans.

It was also considered a more stable channel for selling talismans.

“Fellow Daoist Xia, are you preparing to go exploring again?”

Lu Changsheng came to the hall, saw Xia Long, and spoke out.

He remembered that the other man had only returned most of a month ago.

“Yes, I’m also fifty years old now, if I don’t put up a fight, I won’t have a chance.”

“Not to mention the fact that there is a pair of children at home who will also have to start practicing.”

Charon sighed and said so.

Lu Changsheng knew that when he said that if he didn’t put up a fight, he wouldn’t have a chance, he was referring to Foundation Establishment.

There has been a saying circulating in the Immortal Cultivation world.

The final boundary for cultivators who wanted to impact the Foundation Establishment was sixty years old.

After the age of sixty, the body starts to decline and go downhill.

Not only will the probability of building a foundation drop, but the risk will also become greater.

After all, something like building a foundation was no joke.

Once you fail to build the foundation, you will be lightly injured and your cultivation will regress.

If it is heavy, the meridians will be damaged, and you will become an invalid, and you may even directly fall.

“What talisman does Fellow Daoist Xia want this time?”

Lu Changsheng didn’t chat much in this regard and asked directly.

“Does Fellow Daoist Lu have a Thunder Drawing Talisman, a Golden Light Shield Talisman, a Manna Talisman, and a Hundred Mile Transportation Talisman on him?”

Charon inquired.

“These several kinds of talismans Mister Lu has put a few on his body, I don’t know how many of each Fellow Daoist Xia needs.”

Lu Changsheng said without moving.

“Can there be two or three lightning-inducing talismans?”

Charon inquired.

“There just happen to be three of them, if fellow Daoist Xia needs them, I can sell you all of them, I just happen to have to restock my store next month.”

Lu Changsheng said so.

That’s naturally false.

The talismans he sold to Xia Long were talismans drawn for himself and kept on his body for protection.

Among them, there were more than a hundred top-grade talismans.

Almost fifty talismans of the very best quality.

One of the reasons why there were only so many talismans, and why they didn’t draw more, was that they usually had limited time.

The other thing was that he didn’t currently have a safe sales channel for these talismans other than for his own defense.

With the cost of materials again, he can’t afford to stock up on too much.

“Then thank you, Fellow Daoist Lu, besides the three Thunder Drawing Talismans, I’ll take one of each of the other three talismans.”

Charon opened his mouth.

“Fellow Daoist Xia purchased so many talismans this time, could it be that the place he’s going to is more dangerous.”

“I also have a Thunder Light Talisman of my own evening on me, if Fellow Daoist Xia wants it, I can sell it to you as well.”

Lu Changsheng thought that he was short of money nowadays, and he had traded with Xia Long as a neighbor for so long.

It was felt that one or two extreme talismans could be sold to the other party.

After all, he did have a Thunder Light Talisman given by the Fourth Elder on him, to put it mildly.

“Hmm? Fellow Daoist Lu actually still has extreme talismans, I wonder what price Fellow Daoist Lu is selling them for!”

When Xia Long heard this, he immediately looked happy.

“This was also given to me by my elders at home for self-defense, if you need it, Fellow Daoist Xia, consider it as me selling the extremely high quality talismans that will be sold in the store next month in advance.”

“For the price, it will be the same as the store price, two hundred and twenty spirit stones.”

Lu Changsheng said so.

“Alright, then thank you, Fellow Daoist Lu.”

Xia Long immediately arched his hand.

In the Nine Dragons Market, the very best talismans weren’t that easy to buy.

When I heard it was available, I was naturally willing to buy it.

“Fellow Daoist Xia is polite.”

Lu Changsheng took out seven talismans from his storage pouch, then said, “A total of four hundred and ninety Spirit Stones, Fellow Daoist Xia will just give four hundred and fifty Spirit Stones.”

He usually traded with Charon and would give a discounted price.

This was one of the reasons why the other party was fixated on coming to him to buy talismans.

Not only is the channel stable, the quality of the talisman is guaranteed, and the price is relatively favorable.

“Good, thank you, Fellow Daoist Lu.”

Charon was cool with it too.

He took out four hundred and fifty spirit stones from his storage pouch, then excused himself and left.

Lu Changsheng sent it out the door, and then with a beautiful face, he hummed softly, “It’s true that the talisman is the king ah, what garbage puppet masters, dogs don’t do tui!”

These seven talismans, six top-grade talismans cost almost fifteen spirit stones.

As for the Extreme Talisman Thunder Light Talisman, the cost was only seven spirit stones.

A total of twenty-two Spirit Stones cost, selling four hundred and fifty Spirit Stones, a full twenty times more profit!

It’s not at all comparable by building puppets.

“We can make a trip to the White Jade House tomorrow.”

Lu Changsheng looked at the hot spirit stone and said in his heart.

He also still had over two hundred spirit stones on him, and with these four hundred and fifty, he could find one or two high quality female cultivators.

At the same time, in his heart, he hoped that this Daoist Xia would be able to return safely.

Otherwise, he’d have one less big stable customer.

The next day, Lu Changsheng arrived at the White Jade House with a spirit stone in his pocket.

With a light touch, he spent five hundred and eighty spirit stones and purchased two maids.

One Ninth Grade Spiritual Root and one Eighth Grade Spiritual Root.

They are all poor people of superior looks and stature, so that one can see them as if they were pitiful.

Lu Changsheng couldn’t stand to see such a pitiful person.

Originally, he could have purchased a seventh-grade spirit root with the spirit stones on him.

However, Lu Changsheng thought about it and thought it would be better to purchase two of them.

That means quality as well as quantity!

As before, it’s still the same old story, and you need to wait for the White Jade House to notify you.

“Alas, this White Jade Mansion is really a gold selling cave, next time you have money, it’s better to purchase the materials for the second-order talismans first.”

Lu Changsheng walked out of the White Jade Building, sighed, and shook his head.

In the blink of an eye, another half a month had passed.

Lu Changsheng’s forty-first child was born.

And at this time, Lu Changsheng was ready to make a trip home on his own.

This was because the Lu Family’s Spirit Measuring Ceremony was still about ten days away from opening.

The four of them, Lu Pingan, Lu Wuyou, Lu Wuyu, and Lu Xiluo, were going to attend.

Even though the results were already known in their hearts, the four children who participated in the Spirit Detection Ceremony this time did not have spirit roots.

But at least it was the first time his child had participated in the Spirit Measuring Ceremony.

He, as a father, had to go back to see it too.

“There won’t be another accident if I go back alone this time, will there?”

Lu Changsheng walked on the road and said in his heart.

Just in case he was too dashing around the marketplace and was being watched or something.

He even changed his face on this trip out.

It transformed into a young man with a dark, plain face.
