Chapter 97: It’s time for children to practice martial arts

Lu Changsheng exhaled lightly as he looked at the crowded streets as he walked out of the Wanbao Pavilion.

After most of a busy day, Kou’s five murderous things were finally cleaned up by him.

A total of four thousand one hundred and ten spirit stones were sold.

It was about what he had just estimated at the time.

If you sell all of your own top-grade magic weapon flying daggers, top-grade magic weapon shields, as well as pills, talismans, materials, and other miscellaneous things, then you will be able to sell them all.

How can there be seven thousand spirit stones.

But pills, talismans, and materials come out troublesome.

Lu Changsheng used these things himself, so he didn’t bother to produce them.

And the spirit stones from these were naturally spent by Lu Changsheng without a single one left.

All of it was used to buy the materials to build a second-order puppet.

The cost of building a second-order golem was really high, though.

After Lu Changsheng inquired about the prices of various materials, he had a rough perception in his mind about the cost of a second-order puppet.

Basic three thousand spirit stones onwards.

As for the cap, it’s hard to say.

Because things like puppets were not the same as alchemy, weaponry, or talisman making.

There are many kinds of puppets.

Roughly divided into, combat puppets, auxiliary puppets, and special puppets.

In shape, there are humanoid golems and animaloid golems.

In terms of size, there are small golems, large golems, and giant golems.

The materials consumed by different puppets and the time taken varied greatly.

A giant puppet was able to consume several times, or even dozens of times, the materials of a small puppet.

Due to limited financial resources, limited time, and limited circumstances, Lu Changsheng didn’t think about it that much.

Skip the large golems and giant golems straight away.

Preparing to first build a, second-order small humanoid puppet costing at three thousand spirit stones.

After all, he wanted the puppet mainly for defense.

One more means if you get into an accident.

This kind of small puppet, with a battle power almost corresponding to the early stage of Foundation Establishment, was enough for him to use.

However, due to the purchase of the extreme magic weapon talisman pen and talisman materials, he didn’t have enough spirit stones on him.

Haven’t gotten together all the materials to build this golem yet.

There was still a shortfall of five hundred or so spirit stones.

Lu Changsheng was in no hurry.

That’s it for now for preparation.

First, he drew the purchased second-order talisman.

By then there was almost enough money to be able to get the rest of the materials together.

Anyway, he didn’t have so much time and energy to build the puppet now that he had gathered the materials.

Just like the two golem materials purchased earlier, neither of them had had time to finish building them yet.

Not to mention building a second-order puppet.

Lu Changsheng walked down the street without going straight home.

Instead, he found an inn.

Checked around the room to see if he had been followed and left a mark.

Although the Qingyun Chamber of Commerce, the Wanbao Pavilion, such a big store, will not do this kind of thing.

But still, it’s right to be careful.

After making sure that there were no problems, Lu Changsheng changed his appearance and put on a set of attire, walked out of the inn and left the Nine Dragons Market.

He turned around outside the marketplace and destroyed both his clothes and temporary identity plate before reentering the Nine Dragons Marketplace.

Upon arriving at the Spirit Symbol Shop, Zhang Shan, the shopkeeper, saw Lu Changsheng and reported with him about the affairs within the store in the past few days.

And he told Lu Changsheng that three days ago, White Jade House had sent someone over and asked him to come over sometime.

Hearing this, Lu Changsheng immediately knew.

It was the two maids that he had purchased from the White Jade House earlier that had arrived.

“Good.”

Lu Changsheng nodded.

Nor was there any hurry to head to the White Jade House.

Just go to White Jade House within one month of receiving the notice.

“Whew!”

After walking up to the third floor of the store and sitting down in a side chair, Lu Chang let out a long breath.

It was only at this moment that the tightly tensed mind completely loosened up.

He then took out the Jasper Bamboo Wine from his storage bag and poured himself a cup.

This back and forth of cleaning up the sale today had kept him tense and burdened the entire time.

It’s all a bit mind-numbing.

Therefore, Lu Changsheng didn’t directly attempt to draw a second-order talisman either.

Now that the mind is a little tired and in bad shape, it would be a little heartbreaking in case the drawing fails.

After all, the cost of second-order talismans was indeed a bit high.

Thinking about how other talisman masters could only burn money like this in order to practice, Lu Changsheng understood why talismans were so profitable.

Because it burns a lot of money, and if it’s not profitable, who does it.

After sipping two cups of Jasper Bamboo Wine and resting for a while, Lu Changsheng took out the Red Radiance Talisman Brush that he had purchased and began to draw top-grade talismans.

This trip has consumed a lot of talismans and needs to be replenished.

Get used to this new rune pen too.

“It’s worthy of being an Extreme Talisman Brush, the spiritual energy clearly flows more when drawing talismans.”

“Even the slightest disturbance in spiritual energy that causes it to be too scattered is able to help calm it down.”

After drawing two top-grade talismans and experiencing the effect of this extreme talisman, Lu Changsheng nodded his head in praise.

But that’s just a side effect of the rune pen.

The main effect of the Extreme Talisman Brush was to be able to withstand the surge of spiritual ink as well as spiritual energy, and better outline the talisman lines on the talisman paper.

Like a mid-grade magic artifact talisman pen, even if one’s talisman-making skills were high, there was no way to use it to draw second-order talismans.

Nightfall.

Lu Changsheng returned to his residence.

Asked Qing and the girls how things were going at home in the past few days.

Not much had happened in those days, except for the birth of his forty-second child.

Lu Changsheng nodded slightly and went to check on the child, then had a meal before resting and going to bed early.

The next day, Lu Changsheng came to the talisman room of the Spirit Talisman Shop in high spirits.

Prepare to start drawing second-order talismans.

Laying out the mauve colored beast skin talisman paper, Lu Changsheng took out his Red Radiance Talisman Pen and inhaled the spirit ink formulated from the blood of demonic beasts into the tip of the pen.

The palm of the hand to which the spiritual energy in the body then surged, then penetrated to the talismanic pen in the hand, the tip of the pen.

The quill had a faint reddish-colored glow surfacing under the flow of spiritual energy.

And the tip of the pen emits a purple luster.

Immediately afterward, Lu Changsheng began to draw second-order talismans with a serious face and full concentration.

The drawing process is very slow.

The rune line strokes look silky smooth, but each step seems a bit of a struggle.

It made beads of sweat break out on Lu Changsheng’s forehead.

Little by little, time passes.

Finally, Lu Changsheng outlined the last rune line.

In an instant, the runic lines on the entire runic paper were connected head to tail, with purple currents surging, and flames even filled the edges of the runic paper, emitting a terrifying spiritual pressure.

In a few moments, however, the spiritual pressure dissipated and the rune line solidified.

Second Order Lower Grade Talisman, Thunder and Fire Talisman, complete!

“Not bad for a one-time success.”

Lu Changsheng looked at this Thunder Fire Talisman, a look of satisfaction appeared on his face as he gently wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Drawing second-order talismans didn’t cause him to be drained, but it consumed a lot.

His heart, mind and spirit power were all consumed by half, and a feeling of exhaustion arose in his entire being.

“A second-order lower-grade talisman, with a power comparable to a strike at the early stage of Foundation Establishment.”

“But with this level of talisman, with my strength today, there’s no way I can inspire too many of them at the same time.”

“One must also be careful in guiding the control, otherwise, if one is not careful, one may even injure oneself.”

Lu Changsheng held this kind of Thunder Fire Talisman in his hands, his face showing delight.

A second-order lower-grade talisman, corresponding to a strike at the early stage of Foundation Establishment.

If used properly, it could even threaten Foundation Stage cultivators.

However, the higher the talisman grade, the higher the control of the mind and spirit power.

This was why, for the first rank lower and middle grade talismans, Lu Changsheng was using dozens of them.

But the top-grade talismans, even now, were only used five or six at a time.

As for the extremely high quality talismans, at most two or three of them would be used.

Saving is one aspect.

The main reason, too, was that the higher the grade of the talisman, the higher the requirements for its use.

The Defense Aid Talisman is okay.

Like attack talismans, if there were too many of them at once and they were not guided and controlled properly, the talisman power leaked out, and they might even injure themselves.

That counts as one of the drawbacks of the talisman.

Otherwise, the Immortal Cultivation World would be the world of talisman masters.

As long as they meet people, when they fight, they throw out dozens or hundreds of talismans, who can stand it.

Or a cultivator in the early or middle stages of Qi Refining can take a bunch of second-order and third-order talismans, who can stand up to them?

Now that Lu Changsheng was in the late stage of Qi Refining, even if he was given a third-order talisman, he had no way of controlling its use.

If one was not careful, the power of the talisman leaked out and erupted, it might injure himself.

This is one of the reasons why runes are so valuable.

While powerful, even with only an early Qi refining cultivation level, one could use it and exert some of its power without injuring themselves.

Lu Changsheng put away the Thunder Fire Talisman and went to the rest room and began to meditate and rest.

After recovering seventy to eighty percent of his spiritual energy, he got up and went out, preparing to make a trip to the White Jade House.

A quarter of an hour later.

Lu Changsheng came to the White Jade Building.

The red-skirted maid told him that Feng Jiuniang was having a problem.

Arranging him in an elegant room, he made tea and asked him to wait a little.

It wasn’t long before the sound of crisp, high-heeled footsteps came, accompanied by a knock on the door.

“Enter.”

Lu Changsheng said.

The door to the room opened and the beautiful woman in a black veil and fog dress walked into the room.

“Mr. Lu, I’ve kept you waiting.”

Feng Jiuniang, with a lightly ripe and soft smile on her face, bowed towards Lu Changsheng.

The temperament is elegant and dignified, but the black silk legs exposed on the side of the skirt hemline are seductive and alluring to the extreme.

“Steward Feng, I received word that the two maids I booked earlier have arrived.”

Lu Changsheng looked at the charming and attractive beauty in front of him and said with a smile.

“Please wait a moment, Mr. Lu, I’ve already had someone bring it over.”

Feng Jiuniang said softly.

She then walked over to the table, cocked her green onion white jade fingers, bent down slightly, and pinched the teapot to pour tea for Lu Changsheng.

Then twisting her plump, beautiful buttocks, she sat down in a nearby chair with an elegant and seductive posture, her legs folded up out of habit so that a black phoenix bird and gold-printed high-heeled shoe was picked out from under the hem of her black misty skirt.

Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but sigh in his heart, this White Jade House Steward, simply charming to the bone, every move seemed to be teasing.

He, Lu, had been through many battles and felt tantalized every time he looked at it, not to mention others.

Unfortunately, this stuff, you can only look at it, not eat it.

A few moments later.

A woman in a red dress came with two women with beautiful faces.

A twenty-four or twenty-five year old.

The face is not powdered, slightly rigid, thin willow eyebrows sharp as a green blade, the eyes have nothing numb and dead, but with a bit of coldness.

She was dressed in a strong red dress, her body posture was elegant, and her long black hair was hanging at her back shaped like a ponytail, revealing a chivalrous woman’s temperament.

It could be seen through her tall, slender, straight-as-a-gun stance that this woman had a martial arts path in her body.

Maybe even a chivalrous woman.

The other woman was sixteen years old.

A head of black waist-length hair and a long white fringed dress.

She has a beautiful face, fair skin, and an extremely well-developed body.

If she stood at her angle and looked down, she obviously couldn’t see the tiny white embroidered shoes under her skirt.

As he walked into the room, a sultry look passed over his brow, and I felt sorry for him.

“Mr. Lu, this is the maid you purchased, Jiang Lou Yue, Yu Yao.”

Feng Jiuniang introduced Lu Changsheng in a charming voice, then said towards the two women, “I haven’t met Mr. Lu yet.”

There was an undeniable majesty in his voice.

“Greetings, Mr. Lu.”

The two women immediately bowed to Lu Changsheng.

The eyes that looked at Lu Changsheng also carried a bit of color in them.

After all, the Lu Changsha in front of him was handsome, with a straight posture and a warm temperament.

Dressed in a green-colored bamboo leaf vestment, he gave people a feeling of spring breeze just by looking at him.

Even heartfelt.

I feel that the youth in front of me is a good man, a fluttering gentleman at first glance.

“Two girls, would you like to become my lord’s maids.”

Lu Changsheng also stood up, standing with his hands behind his back, and said with a smile.

He could also see the godly glances in the eyes of the two women.

He was more than familiar with that kind of eye gaze.

As long as under his Lu’s care, it won’t take long for the two women to rejuvenate and feel colorful in their lives.

“The little woman is willing, Yao’er is willing.”

The two women immediately responded.

“Okay, Steward Wind, I’m quite satisfied.”

Seeing this, Lu Changsheng let out a light laugh and nodded.

Suddenly, he thought of the ”Heavenly Crying Elder” who created the Immortal Stance Technique in the first place.

This is if he came to a place like White Jade House, I’m afraid he could never ask the other party if they were willing, right?

Subsequently, Lu Changsheng and Feng Jiuniang fully contracted and paid the final amount of spirit stones.

“Mr. Lu, you have accumulated over a thousand spirit stones in my White Jade Building, you are a member customer of our White Jade Building in the future.”

“In the future, if you come over to purchase a maid, the deposit can be waived, and if you don’t fall in love with her, you don’t have anything to lose.”

“And every once in a while, our White Jade Mansion will also have a batch of top-quality maids that are specially provided for members to shop for.”

“If Mr. Lu is interested, my concubine will also send someone to inform you at that time.”

At this time, Feng Jiuniang also took out a white jade token and handed it to Lu Changsheng, saying so.

“Oh?”

Lu Changsheng raised an eyebrow when he heard this.

I didn’t realize there was such a thing as a member at White Jade House.

He didn’t care about waiving the deposit or anything.

Just a little interested in this members-only upper class maid.

“Say, isn’t there a premium membership or something if you keep spending?”

Lu Changsheng took the white jade token and sized it up twice.

One side was carved with the pattern of the White Jade Building, and the other side had the character Lu written on it, so I guess it had been customized a long time ago.

“We do have multiple levels of membership at White Jade House, as well as to give better service to each customer.”

Feng Jiuniang said with a soft smile.

“Alright, in the future, if there are such members-only superior attendants, you can send someone to the Lu Family Spirit Talisman Shop to inform me.”

Lu Changsheng murmured slightly.

Originally, he was thinking of slowing down and not coming to White Jade House to buy a maid for the time being.

After all, there are so many maids of honor these days.

If we buy any more maids, we really need to move.

And spending too much money on the White Jade House would probably make the Lu family side suspicious.

But it’s the kind of thing you can learn a little bit about, and you don’t necessarily have to buy it.

If there are really good ones, you can watch them again then.

“Okay, no problem~ Take care, Mr. Lu.”

Feng Jiuniang smiled softly and sent Lu Changsheng out of the White Jade Building.

“Lou Yue, have you practiced martial arts?”

Walking on the road, Lu Changsheng looked to his side, and Jiang Lou Yue, who had a few heroic eyebrows, inquired.

“Reporting back to the Prince, Lou Yue had practiced martial arts at a young age, and only after that did she embark on the path of Immortal Cultivation because of her contact with the Immortal Fate.”

Jiang Lou Yue respectfully returned.

She quickly adapted to her identity.

After all, under the tutelage of Bai Yu Lou, they could only expect to find a good master.

Now that Lu Changsheng seemed to be a good master, she naturally had to correct her attitude.

“What is your martial arts strength?”

Lu Changsheng continued to inquire.

His idea of letting children without spiritual roots practice martial arts and creating a martial arts family in the secular world had never changed.

Now Lu Pingan and the others were almost of age.

You can get ready for martial arts practice.

At first, he was thinking of asking Li Feiyu to teach.

But now Knight Fei Yu’s situation was clear to himself.

In order to leave the Lu family and run around all day for a living, there was usually no such time.

If he approached Knight Fei Yu, the other party would definitely respond.

But delaying the other person, while giving money, the other person will push back.

And it’s true that he has a bit too many children, so if he really wants to teach them, one or two people are afraid that he won’t be able to do it.

So he thought that he could also get a few more people to teach his children martial arts.

“According to the secular division, the slave girl’s martial arts strength is at the stage of Innate Master.”

Jiang Lou Yue said.

“Well, can you teach a child martial arts?”

Lu Changsheng inquired.

Having practiced martial arts and teaching people to practice martial arts are two different things.

For example, quite a few of the maids he had previously bought at the White Jade House knew martial arts.

But it’s a little harder to get them to teach.

“Not taught, but a slave could try.”

Jiang Lou Yue said so.

“OK.”

Lu Changsheng nodded.

It was thought that when the time came, Jiang Lou Yue could be brought back to the Green Bamboo Mountain to have a look.

If it was not possible, one would go directly to the secular world and pay a so-called martial arts master to teach one’s child.

Money makes the world go round.

He still didn’t believe that he couldn’t hire a secular martial arts teacher after spending a fortune on it.

After bringing the two girls home, Lu Changsheng asked Lily to arrange a place to stay and talk to them about the situation.

The women in the courtyard were now quite accustomed to Lu Changsheng’s purchase of maids.

And it’s not like they’re in a position to say anything about this kind of thing, they’re not in a position to say anything.

Six days later.

Inside the Spirit Talisman Shop.

Lu Changsheng held a spirit pattern carving knife in his hand and outlined it on the chest of the metal humanoid puppet in front of him that was as tall as he was.

Each time the spirit pattern carving knife fell, it left a graceful curve on the puppet’s body.

Ryoko.

“Whew, it’s finally done.”

Lu Changsheng stopped his hand and looked at the puppet in front of him, nodding in satisfaction.

This was naturally not the second-order puppet he was going to build.

Instead, it was a first-order mid-grade golem.

He had purchased the materials before and got a little bit every day when he had nothing else to do, so he hadn’t finished building it until now.

Lu Changsheng used the Puppet Control Skill to control the Spiritual Pivot at the chest of the puppet in front of him.

Then the mind moved slightly.

At that moment, the metal golem took a step forward.

Another step back.

A jump to the left.

Suddenly to the left, suddenly to the right, jumping and flipping.

Under Lu Changsheng’s control, the seemingly bulky metal puppet was incredibly flexible.

A puppet like this one was capable of all the movements that a regular person could do.

It can even do things that normal people can’t do.

Afterward, Lu Changsheng took out the Green Face Sword from his storage bag.

The sword was sheathed in a flash of cold light and slashed at the golem.

“Clang!” There was a loud bang and sparks flew everywhere.

However, this sword only left a white mark on the puppet’s chest.

“Not bad.”

Lu Changsheng nodded slightly.

In addition to the metal materials used to build this puppet, he had also inscribed sturdy spirit patterns and spell formations.

It was able to harden the spells and mid-grade flying sword attacks of the middle stage of Qi Refining.

And the puppet’s chest aura pivot could store aura, allowing both arms to release fireball and frost spells.

However, for the Fireball and Frost spells, they could be used up to three times before the stored aura was depleted.

“The only drawback is that one’s mind is limited, and there’s no way to control too many puppets in a distracted manner.”

“With my current cultivation at the late stage of Qi Refining, I can only control two or three puppets at the end of the day.”

Lu Changsheng looked at the puppet in front of him and said in his heart.

A first-order, second-order puppet has no sense of autonomy.

It had to be manipulated in conjunction with the Puppet Control Technique.

It’s like harnessing a magic weapon.

However, when fighting against the enemy, if one had to harness magic weapons and use talismans, and if one had to manipulate puppets, the burden would be so great that one would not be able to exert one’s full strength at all.

“It’s not for nothing that the profession of puppetry is cold.”

Lu Changsheng shook his head and said.

It felt like that would be enough to build a few puppets of your own.

There’s no use if there’s too much of it, no way to make a sea of puppets as you imagine.

“If I break through Foundation Establishment and give birth to Divine Sense, then I will be able to manipulate multiple puppets at once, right?”

“And I’ve heard that in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, there are also techniques for cultivating divine sense .”

Lu Changsheng’s eyes narrowed slightly as he said in his heart.
