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

When Lu Changsheng walked out of Wanbao Pavilion, he looked at the crowded streets and let out a breath.

After working for most of the day, he finally cleaned up the belongings of the Five Fiends of the Kou family.

A total of 4,110 spirit stones were sold.

It was almost the same as he had estimated at the time.

What if all the top-grade magic weapons, flying knives, high-grade magic weapons, shields, elixirs, talismans, materials and other miscellaneous things that I kept for myself were sold out.

There are seven thousand spirit stones anyway.

However, it is troublesome to produce the elixirs, talismans, and materials.

Lu Changsheng could use these things himself, so he was too lazy to use them.

Naturally, all these spirit stones were spent by Lu Changsheng.

All used to purchase materials to build second-level puppets.

However, the cost of creating a second-level puppet is really high.

After asking about the prices of various materials, Lu Changsheng had a rough idea of ​​the cost of the second-order puppet.

Basically starting from three thousand spirit stones.

As for the upper limit, it's hard to say.

Because things like puppets are different from refining elixirs, refining weapons, and making talismans.

There are many kinds of puppets.

They are roughly divided into combat puppets, auxiliary puppets, and special puppets.

In appearance, there are humanoid puppets and animal-shaped puppets.

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

Different puppets consume different materials and time.

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

Due to limited financial resources, limited time, and limited environment, Lu Changsheng did not worry about that much.

Just ignore the large puppets and giant puppets.

Prepare to build a second-level small humanoid puppet costing three thousand spirit stones.

After all, he wanted the puppet mainly for self-defense.

If you encounter an accident, there is one more method.

This small puppet's combat power is almost equivalent to the initial stage of foundation building, which is enough for him.

However, due to the purchase of top-quality magical tools, talismans, and talisman materials, the spiritual stones on his body were not enough.

Not all the materials to build this puppet have been gathered yet.

There are still about five hundred spiritual stones missing.

Lu Changsheng was not in a hurry.

That's it for now.

First, I drew the second-level talisman I purchased.

By then I will almost have enough money to gather the remaining materials.

Anyway, now that he has gathered the materials, he doesn't have so much time and energy to build the puppet.

Just like the two puppet materials I purchased before, I haven't had time to complete them yet.

Not to mention creating a second-level puppet.

Lu Changsheng walked on the street and did not go home directly.

Instead, he found an inn.

He checked the room to see if he was being followed or left any marks.

Although big stores like Qingyun Chamber of Commerce and Wanbao Pavilion would not do such a thing.

But again, be careful.

After confirming that there was no problem, Lu Changsheng changed his appearance, put on a set of clothes, walked out of the inn, and left Jiulongfang City.

After walking around the city and destroying all the clothes and temporary identity tags, he returned to Jiulongfang City.

After arriving at the Lingfu Shop, the shopkeeper Zhang Shan saw Lu Changsheng and reported to him the affairs of the store in the past few days.

He also told Lu Changsheng that Baiyulou sent someone over three days ago to give him time to go there.

Hearing this, Lu Changsheng knew immediately.

The two maids he had purchased at Baiyu Tower had arrived.

"okay, I get it."

Lu Changsheng nodded.

There is no rush to go to Baiyu Tower.

Just go to Baiyu Tower within one month after receiving the notice.

"call!"

After walking up to the third floor of the store and sitting down on a chair, Lu Changchang took a deep breath.

Only at this moment did the tense mind completely relax.

Then he took out the Jasper Bamboo wine from his storage bag and poured himself a glass.

Today's back-and-forth cleaning business made him nervous throughout the whole process, as if he was carrying a heavy burden.

They were all a little exhausted mentally.

Therefore, Lu Changsheng did not directly try to draw the second-level talisman.

Now I am a little tired and in a bad state. If the drawing fails, I will feel a little distressed.

After all, the cost of second-level talismans is indeed a bit high.

Thinking that other talisman masters had to burn money like this in order to practice, Lu Changsheng also understood why the profits of talismans were so high.

Because there is a lot of money to burn, if the profit is not high, who will do it?

After drinking two glasses of Jasper Bamboo wine and resting for a while, Lu Changsheng took out the red brilliance talisman pen he purchased and began to draw high-grade talismans.

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

Also get used to this new talisman pen.

"It is indeed a top-quality talisman pen. When drawing talismans, the spiritual power flows obviously more."

"Even if the spiritual power is slightly disordered, causing it to become too scattered, it can help to calm it down."

After drawing two high-grade talismans and experiencing the effect of this top-grade talisman, Lu Changsheng nodded in approval.

But this is just a side effect of the talisman pen.

The main effect of the best talisman pen is that it can withstand the surge of spiritual ink and spiritual power, and can better outline the talisman lines on the talisman paper.

Like a mid-grade magic weapon, a talisman pen, no matter how high the talisman-making skills are, it cannot be used to draw second-level talismans.

Night falls.

Lu Changsheng returned to his residence.

I asked Xiaoqing and the others about the situation at home these days.

Except for the birth of his forty-second child, nothing much happened these days.

Lu Changsheng nodded slightly, looked at the child, had a meal, and went to bed early.

The next day, Lu Changsheng came to the Talisman Room of Ling Talisman Shop full of energy.

Get ready to start drawing the second level talisman.

After laying out the lavender animal skin talisman paper, Lu Changsheng took out the scarlet talisman pen and sucked the spiritual ink mixed with the blood of the monster into the tip of the pen.

Then the spiritual energy in the body surged into the palm of the hand, and then penetrated into the talisman pen and tip of the pen.

Under the flow of spiritual power, a faint red light emerged from the pen barrel.

The tip of the pen also emits a purple gleam.

Immediately, Lu Changsheng looked serious and began to draw the second-level talisman with full concentration.

The drawing process is very slow.

The rune strokes look silky and smooth, but each step seems a little laborious.

Beads of sweat broke out on Lu Changsheng's forehead.

Time passed little by little.

Finally, Lu Changsheng outlined the last stroke of the symbol.

In an instant, the talisman lines on the entire talisman paper were connected end to end, with purple current surging, and flames filling the edge of the talisman paper, emitting a terrifying spiritual pressure.

Within a moment, the spiritual pressure dissipated and the talisman lines solidified.

The second-level low-grade talisman, the thunder and fire talisman, is done!

“It worked the first time, so it’s not bad.”

Lu Changsheng looked at the Thunder Fire Talisman with a look of satisfaction on his face and gently wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Although drawing the second-level talisman would not drain him of time, it would still consume a lot of energy.

Most of his mental and spiritual energy was consumed, and his whole life felt exhausted.

"The second-level low-grade talisman is as powerful as a strike in the early stage of foundation building."

"However, with my current strength, I cannot activate too many talismans of this level at the same time."

"You have to be careful in guiding and controlling, otherwise, if you are not careful, you may hurt yourself."

Lu Changsheng held this thunder and fire talisman in his hand with a look of joy on his face.

The second-level low-grade talisman corresponds to a blow in the early stage of foundation building.

If used properly, it can even threaten monks in the foundation building stage.

However, the higher the grade of the talisman, the greater the control over the mind and spiritual power.

This is why Lu Changsheng uses dozens of first-level low-grade and mid-grade talismans.

But even now, only five or six high-grade talismans can be used at one time.

As for the best talismans, I can only use two or three at most.

Saving is one thing.

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

The defensive auxiliary talisman is okay.

Like attacking a talisman, if you hit it too hard and fail to guide and control it well, the power of the talisman will leak out, and you may even hurt yourself.

This is also a shortcoming of Fu Lu.

Otherwise, the world of cultivating immortals would be the world of Talisman Masters.

Whenever you meet someone and have a fight, dozens or hundreds of talismans will be thrown out to see who can withstand it.

Or a monk in the early or middle stage of Qi refining can hold a bunch of second-level and third-level talismans. Who can withstand it?

Now that Lu Changsheng is in the advanced stage of Qi refining, even if he is given a third-level talisman, he cannot control its use.

If you are not careful, the power of the talisman will leak out and explode, which may hurt yourself.

This is also one of the reasons why talismans are of high value.

While it is very powerful, even if you are only at the initial stage of Qi refining, you can still use it and exert some of its power without hurting yourself.

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

After recovering 70% to 80% of his spiritual power, he got up and went out, preparing to go to the White Jade Tower.

A quarter of an hour later.

Lu Changsheng came to Baiyu Tower.

The maid in the red dress told him that Feng Jiuniang was busy.

Arrange him in a private room, make tea and let him wait for a while.

Not long after, there was a crisp sound of high-heeled footsteps, accompanied by a knock on the door.

"Enter."

Lu Changsheng said.

The door opened, and a beautiful woman in a black gauze mist skirt walked into the room.

"Master Lu, I've kept you waiting for a long time."

Feng Jiuniang had a gentle and charming smile on her face and saluted Lu Changsheng.

The temperament is elegant and dignified, but the beautiful black silk legs exposed on the side of the skirt are extremely charming and alluring.

"Manager Feng, I received news that the two maids I ordered before have arrived."

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

"Master Lu, please wait a moment. I've already asked someone to bring you here."

Feng Jiuniang said softly.

Then he walked to the table, raised his green-white jade fingers, leaned over slightly, held the teapot and poured tea for Lu Changsheng.

Then she twisted her plump buttocks and sat on the chair next to her with an elegant and seductive posture. Her legs were crossed habitually, and a black phoenix-and-gold-patterned high-heeled shoe peeked out from under the black mist skirt.

Lu Changsheng couldn't help but secretly sigh, this White Jade Tower manager was so charming to the core, every move he made seemed to be teasing.

He, Lu, has experienced hundreds of battles, and feels tempting every time he looks at it, not to mention other people.

It's a pity that this thing can only be looked at but not eaten.

After a while.

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

A man in his mid-twenties.

The face was not painted with makeup and looked a little hard. The slender willow eyebrows were as sharp as a green edge, and the eyes were not numb and lifeless, but a little cold.

She was dressed in a red dress, with a graceful figure and long black hair hanging on her back like a ponytail, exuding the temperament of a chivalrous woman.

It can be seen from her tall and slender figure, as straight as a spear, that this woman has martial arts skills.

Maybe she really is a chivalrous woman.

The other woman is sixteen years old.

She has waist-length black hair and wears a long white fringed skirt.

She has a beautiful face, fair skin, and a well-developed figure.

If you look down from her perspective, you obviously can't see the small white embroidered shoes under her skirt.

When I walked into the room, there was a look of resentment on my face, and I felt pity for him.

"Master Lu, these are the maids you purchased, Jiang Louyue and Yu Yao."

Feng Jiuniang introduced Lu Changsheng in a charming voice, and then said to the two women, "I haven't met Mr. Lu yet."

There was an undoubted majesty in his voice.

"I've met Mr. Lu."

The two women immediately saluted Lu Changsheng Yingying.

The eyes looking at Lu Changsheng also had a little bit of strange color in them.

After all, the man in front of him, Mr. Lu, was handsome, tall and straight, with a gentle temperament.

Wearing a green bamboo leaf robe, one feels like a spring breeze just looking at it.

Even feel good about it.

I feel that the young man in front of me is a good man and a handsome young man at first glance.

"You two girls are willing to become my maids."

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

He also saw the looks in the eyes of the two women.

He was all too familiar with this look.

As long as under the care of someone like him, Lu, it won't take long for the two women to regain their vitality and feel that their lives are colorful.

"The little girl is willing, Yao'er is willing."

The two women responded immediately.

"Okay, Manager Feng, I'm quite satisfied."

When Lu Changsheng saw this, he chuckled and nodded.

Suddenly I thought of the ‘Old Man Crying from Heaven’ who originally created the Immortal Posture Technique.

If he came to a place like Baiyu Tower, he would never ask the other party if he was willing, right?

Afterwards, Lu Changsheng made a complete contract with Feng Jiuniang and paid the remaining amount of spiritual stones.

"Master Lu, you have consumed more than a thousand spirit stones in my Baiyu Tower. From now on, you will be a member customer of our Baiyu Tower."

"In the future, if you come to buy a maid, you can waive the deposit. If you don't like it, you won't lose anything."

"And every once in a while, our Baiyulou will have a group of high-quality maids specially provided for members to choose from."

"If Mr. Lu is interested, I will send someone to notify you when the time comes."

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

"oh?"

When Lu Changsheng heard this, he raised his eyebrows.

I didn’t expect Baiyulou to have such a thing as membership.

He doesn't care about waiving the deposit.

I'm just somewhat interested in this high-class maid exclusively for members.

"If I continue to consume, will there be a premium membership or something?"

Lu Changsheng took the white jade token and looked at it twice.

One side is engraved with the pattern of the White Jade Tower, and the other side is written with the word "land". It must have been customized long ago.

"We at Baiyulou do have multiple levels of membership, in order to provide better services to every customer."

Feng Jiuniang smiled softly.

"Okay, in the future, you can send someone to the Lu Family Spirit Talisman Shop to notify me if there are such high-quality maids available only for members."

Lu Changsheng pondered slightly.

Originally, he wanted to take it easy and stop coming to Baiyulou to buy maids for the time being.

After all, there are so many maids now.

If I buy another maid, I really have to move.

And if you spend too much money on Baiyulou, the Lu family will probably be suspicious.

However, you can learn a little bit about this kind of thing, but you don’t necessarily have to buy it.

If there is something really good, you can look at it again when the time comes.

"Okay, no problem~ Mr. Lu, walk slowly."

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

"Lou Yue, have you ever practiced martial arts?"

Walking on the road, Lu Changsheng looked at Jiang Louyue, who looked beside him with a somewhat heroic look, and asked.

"Reporting to the young master, Lou Yue practiced martial arts when he was young. Later, he came into contact with immortality and embarked on the path of cultivating immortality."

Jiang Louyue replied respectfully.

She quickly adapted to her identity.

After all, under Bai Yulou's training, they can only hope to find a good master.

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

"How is your martial arts strength?"

Lu Changsheng continued to ask.

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

Now Lu Ping'an and others are almost old.

You are ready to practice martial arts.

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

But now Li Feiyu's situation was clear to him.

In order to leave the Lu family, I have to run around for life all day long, and I usually don't have this time at all.

If he approached Li Feiyu, he would definitely agree.

But it will delay the other party's time and if you give money, the other party will refuse.

And I do have a lot of children. If I really want to teach them, one or two people may not be able to teach them.

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

"According to secular classification, my martial arts strength is at the level of an innate master."

Jiang Louyue said.

"Well, can you teach children to practice martial arts?"

Lu Changsheng asked.

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

For example, many of the maids he bought at Baiyulou were good at martial arts.

But it would be a bit difficult for them to teach.

"I haven't been taught it, but I can try it."

Jiang Louyue said this.

"OK."

Lu Changsheng nodded.

I thought that I could take Jiang Louyue back to Qingzhu Mountain to have a look.

If that doesn't work, just go to the secular world and pay a so-called martial arts master to teach your children.

Money can make the world go round.

He still didn't believe that he couldn't hire a secular martial arts teacher despite spending money.

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

Nowadays, it is common for the ladies in the courtyard to see Lu Changsheng buying maids.

Moreover, it is impossible for them to say anything about this kind of thing, and they are not qualified to say anything.

Six days later.

Inside the Talisman Shop.

Lu Changsheng held a spiritual pattern carving knife in his hand and traced it on the chest of a metal humanoid puppet that was the same height as himself.

Every time the spirit pattern carving knife falls, it leaves a graceful curve on the puppet's body.

a long time.

"Phew, it's finally done."

Lu Changsheng stopped, looked at the puppet in front of him, and nodded with satisfaction.

This is naturally not the second-level puppet he wants to create.

But it is a first-order middle-grade puppet.

He bought the materials before and made a little bit every day when he had nothing to do, so he has only finished building it now.

Lu Changsheng used the Puppet Control Technique to control the spiritual hub on the chest of the puppet in front of him and control it.

Then his mind moved slightly.

Suddenly, the metal puppet took a step forward.

Take another step back.

Jump to the left.

Sometimes to the left, sometimes to the right, jumping and flipping.

Under the control of Lu Changsheng, this seemingly heavy metal puppet became extremely flexible.

A puppet like this can do all the actions that ordinary people can do.

He can even do things that ordinary people cannot do.

Later, Lu Changsheng took out the Qingyan Sword from his storage bag.

The sword was unsheathed, a cold light flashed, and it slashed at the puppet.

"Clang!" A sound sounded, and sparks flew everywhere.

But this sword only left a white mark on the puppet's chest.

"not bad."

Lu Changsheng nodded slightly.

In addition to being made of metal, this puppet is also engraved with solid spiritual patterns and magic circles.

It can defeat the spells and mid-level flying sword attacks in the middle stage of Qi refining.

Moreover, the spiritual hub on the puppet's chest can store spiritual energy, allowing both arms to release fireball and frost spells.

However, if you use fireball and frost spells at most three times, the stored spiritual energy will be exhausted.

"The only drawback is that a person's mind is limited and he cannot control too many puppets while being distracted."

"With my current level of cultivation in the late stage of Qi refining, I can only control two or three puppets until I die."

Lu Changsheng looked at the puppet in front of him and thought to himself.

The puppets of the first and second levels have no independent consciousness.

It must be controlled with the Puppet Control Technique.

Just like controlling a magic weapon.

But when facing the enemy, if you have to control the magic weapon, use the talisman, and control the puppet, the burden is also very heavy, and you can't use your full strength at all.

"The profession of puppet is unpopular, and it's not without reason."

Lu Changsheng shook his head and said.

If this is the case, it would be enough to create a few puppets yourself.

It’s useless if there are too many, as you won’t be able to create the sea of ​​puppets you imagined.

"If I break through the foundation building and gain divine consciousness, I will be able to control multiple puppets at once, right?"

"And I heard that in the world of cultivating immortals, there are also techniques for cultivating spiritual consciousness."

Lu Changsheng narrowed his eyes slightly and thought to himself.
