Chapter 114

The pale-faced youth’s face and skin revealed dark red demon patterns.

“Indeed, in less than a year’s time, you’ve cultivated the Demonic Technique to completion,”

Just at that moment, a young man dressed in a black robe, with an exceptionally handsome face, walked out of the void.

He looked at the pale-faced youth and revealed a satisfied smile.

Then, with a wave of his hand, he and the pale-faced youth disappeared from the platform.

Four days after Qu Zhenzhen gave birth, Lu Miaoge also returned to Qingzhu Mountain.

She made an agreement with Lu Changsheng to depart for the Nine Dragons Market in three days.

In the following days, Lu Changsheng discussed with his wives and concubines, and ultimately decided to let them stay on Qingzhu Mountain.

It wasn’t just that traveling back and forth was inconvenient.

There were so many children at home in need of care, he couldn’t bear to leave them.

In the more than a month he spent at home, Lu Changsheng didn’t slack off, but made every effort to impregnate two of his wives.

With these two children, he now had thirty-four in total.

However, when he thought about how his twenty-ninth and thirtieth children were still nearly three months from being born, Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but sigh.

He felt that he had been somewhat negligent during that time, to have such a long gap.

Three days later.

Lu Changsheng rode the Iron Feather Eagle with Lu Miaoge as they set out for the Nine Dragons Market.

Before their departure, the Fourth Elder gave him three protective talismans.

Two Thunder Summoning Talismans and one Thunder Talisman.

Lu Changsheng had told the Fourth Elder that he had been forced to use the two talismans when he encountered a Robber Cultivator before.

Even though Lu Changsheng now had nine Supreme Talismans in his Storage Bag,

he naturally accepted the Fourth Elder’s kindness with a delighted and grateful expression.

Their journey to the Nine Dragons Market was very smooth, with no unexpected incidents.

This made Lu Changsheng inquire whether Lu Miaoge had encountered any unexpected dangers or Robber Cultivators during her years of traveling back and forth to the market.

Lu Miaoge said that in three years, she had only encountered a Robber Cultivator once.

Hearing this, Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but shake his head, wondering if he was just unlucky or if he looked like easy prey.

After returning home, Lu Changsheng learned from a casual conversation with Little Qing.

That the family next door to his left had moved away about half a month after he returned to Qingzhu Mountain.

This led Lu Changsheng to secretly wonder if his assassination attempt had anything to do with this neighbor.

After all, based on suspicions related to the allure spell, the two Robber Cultivators who tried to cut him down certainly had accomplices in Nine Dragons Market.

Moreover, when he previously visited this neighbor, he sensed a murderous aura on the person, making them unapproachable.

And the fact that they moved away just half a month after he left was too coincidental.

However, since the neighbor had moved away, whether they were involved or not, Lu Changsheng couldn’t confirm and only became more cautious.

Subsequently, Lu Changsheng used disguises to carefully dispose of some stolen goods.

He sold the Magic Artifacts of the two Robber Cultivators, keeping only a Middle Grade Magical Shield and one Flying Artifact for himself.

The other seven Lower Grade Magical Instruments, four Middle Grade Magical Instruments, and one Flying Artifact were all sold.

These Magic Artifacts fetched a total of nine hundred and eight Spirit Stones.

The Magical Robe and Magical Shoes were somewhat damaged, severely discounted, and since he was dealing with a shop’s buyback, the prices were low.

Otherwise, if he had set up a stall to sell them himself, he could have earned a few dozen more Spirit Stones.

As for the Elixir Medicines, Talismans, and various other items on the two Robber Cultivators, they were not easy to sell.

Lu Changsheng used what he could and stored the rest for later.

Previously, he had acquired three hundred and sixty-two Spirit Stones from the two Robber Cultivators.

Now, keeping the Magical Shield and Flying Artifact, he had sold items for nine hundred and eight Spirit Stones, and Lu Changsheng was very satisfied with this haul.

He began to feel that the two Robber Cultivators weren’t so detestable after all.

While selling the Magic Artifacts, he also casually sold over a hundred Middle and Lower Grade Talismans.

He earned two hundred and eleven Spirit Stones.

Looking at the substantial sum of Spirit Stones on him, Lu Changsheng didn’t hesitate to spend six hundred and thirty-four Spirit Stones to purchase a Superior Grade Soft Magic Armor.

This Soft Magic Armor had seven major effects: size adjustment, spell immunity, invisibility, cleanliness, dust repelling, evil warding, and body protection.

What Lu Changsheng appreciated the most were the spell immunity and body protection effects.

This spell immunity wasn’t literally immunity to all spells; it could mainly ignore most early-stage Qi Refinement spells,

and alleviate some of the damage from Middle Stage Qi Refinement spells.

The body protection effect didn’t need much explanation.

In times of danger, it could passively trigger a Body-Protecting Technique capable of blocking a single strike from a Ninth Level Energy Refinement cultivator.

It was primarily for these two effects that Lu Changsheng was willing to spend so many Spirit Stones on this Magic Artifact.

He then spent two hundred and nineteen Spirit Stones to buy a Middle Grade Magic Belt.

This Magic Belt had two main effects: storage and body protection.

What Lu Changsheng was mostly interested in was the body protection.

After all, the previous assassination attempt made Lu Changsheng particularly fond of Magic Artifacts that offered protective techniques.

He had Talismans and Talisman Treasures for offense; he just needed to focus on boosting his defense now.

After acquiring two Magic Artifacts, considering the issue of the Robber Cultivators’ accomplices, Lu Changsheng saw the need for increased defenses.

So he spent another five hundred Spirit Stones to purchase a set of Formation equipment to install in his yard.

It was a First Grade Middle Grade Formation known as the Five Element Formation, which provided offensive, defensive, and trapping effects.

It was capable of dealing with Middle-Stage Qi Refinement Cultivators without issue.
