Chapter 115

Dealing with Energy Refinement Late Stage cultivators, it also has a certain effect.

After buying things, Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but shake his head and sigh; he really was someone who spent every Spirit Stone he had.

He simply couldn’t save any Spirit Stone.

But this was also the situation for most cultivators.

Most cultivators thought, ‘If my neighbour stores grain, I store guns; my neighbour is my grain store.’

If you have Spirit Stones and don’t use them, not using them to enhance your strength, in the end, you might just end up benefiting others, so not many people save money or resources.

In the following days, Lu Changsheng’s daily routine was cultivation, Talisman Making, going to work, and coming home to make babies.

With half a month of effort, as a key focus of Lu Changsheng’s care, Guan Xin, who possessed a Spiritual Root, successfully became pregnant.

After Guan Xin became pregnant, for the remaining nine maids, Lu Changsheng was actually quite casual.

If they got pregnant, they got pregnant, if not, it didn’t matter.

However, with such matters, as long as nothing happened, getting pregnant was just a matter of time.

A little over a month later, two of Lu Changsheng’s maids, Ye Lian and Cang Lan, became pregnant.

“Haitang and Bai He have been arranged as housekeepers, who have to work on daily tasks, so they better not get pregnant.”

“But this way, won’t the remaining five maids become pregnant in two or three months at most?”

“When that time comes, do I have to buy another batch of maids? What does this make me, a breeding boar…?”

Lu Changsheng heaved a deep sigh.

Deep down, he still felt somewhat uneasy and burdened by this sort of thing.

Feeling it was purely for the sake of procreation, without any emotional connection, seemed too much like a stud horse, which wasn’t quite right.

“No, the women in the White Jade Tower are already in a bitter lot; what I’m doing is rescuing them from their misery, which is better than creating a seven-story pagoda!”

“Moreover, I am doing this for cultivation, for becoming an immortal, for the Great Dao, so whether I’m seen as a stud horse or not, even if misunderstood by others, as long as my conscience is clear, that’s all that matters!”

Lu Changsheng took a deep breath, his eyes showing a determined look toward his cultivation.

Another month or so passed by.

Maids Hong Mian, Zi Mei, and Xue Shao became pregnant.

Lu Changsheng planned, once the remaining two women became pregnant, to make another trip to the White Jade Tower.

By then, he would also have saved a bit of extra money.

He could see if there were any unfortunate ones with a Spiritual Root.

One day, after Lu Changsheng arrived at the Spiritual Talisman Shop, Lu Miaoge spoke to him.

“Changsheng, now that you’re familiar with the shop, you can manage things on your own,” she said.

“I’m planning to stop coming here after this month ends, and I’ll just stay in the big courtyard in the Eastern District. If you have any problems, you can send messages or come find me.”

Lu Miaoge said.

She had previously discussed this with Lu Changsheng, telling him that once he was familiar and adapted, she would no longer come.

“Alright, Sister Miaoge, don’t worry, I’ll take care of the shop,” Lu Changsheng said, nodding in agreement.

He had been at the Spiritual Talisman Shop for over half a year now.

In this half year, he had completely understood and grasped the situation of the shop.

There were no issues in managing it.

And in the past two months, Lu Miaoge had completely let go of the reins and stopped managing affairs.

She only came by to be available in case Lu Changsheng had any questions.

So, last month, Lu Changsheng had set up a partnership with Zi Wu Xu.

He would directly bring over a hundred lower-grade talismans and thirty middle-grade talismans to the shop each month for purchase.

As for the price, Lu Changsheng did not take much advantage of the shop, opting for a uniform 30% discount.

This was mainly to avoid the unnecessary trouble and risk of disguising himself and running around every now and then.

As for the Superior Grade Talismans and Supreme Talismans, Lu Changsheng hadn’t sold any at the shop for the time being.

He planned to consider selling a few Superior Grade Talismans at the shop after some time.

Two days later.

Shopkeeper Zhang Shan handed the goods and the list over to Lu Changsheng for inspection and spot checking.

Now without Lu Miaoge, it took Lu Changsheng a full three days to finish inspecting all the goods.

“I feel if I were to inspect these by myself, it really takes too much time and energy,” he said.

Lu Changsheng let out a long sigh, feeling a bit dizzy.

When Lu Miaoge was around, it wasn’t too bad; with a man and a woman working together, the workload was easier to bear.

But now, inspecting the goods on his own was unbearably tedious and annoying.

“Gao He is also a Middle Grade Talisman Master, maybe I should ask him to come over and help every month?”

Lu Changsheng suddenly remembered his neighbor, Gao He.

Usually Gao He would come over to chat when he had nothing to do, inviting him over for tea.

After interacting for so long, Lu Changsheng thought highly of Gao He.

So he thought, why not ask Gao He to come and help out for a few days each month.

Of course, he wouldn’t let him work for nothing; he would just ask if Gao He wanted to earn some extra money.

“Tonight, after I go back, I will ask Gao He,” he decided.

Lu Changsheng made up his mind, planning to ask him later.

This sort of thing wasn’t something to be embarrassed about.

Night fell.

After returning home and having dinner, Lu Changsheng took a short walk and then knocked on his neighbor Gao He’s door.

Gao He was teaching his daughter Gao Xiaoya how to make talismans, and his normally amiable, plump face was somewhat twisted and distorted at the moment.

“Uncle Lu!”

“Dad, Uncle Lu is here. You guys talk; I’ll go make some tea for you!”

When Gao Xiaoya saw Lu Changsheng, her eyes immediately brightened, and she quickly got up to make tea, looking relieved.

She had absolutely no interest in talisman making and also had no talent for it.

However, Gao He wanted his daughter to master the skill, no matter if she was talented or not; he planned to make it happen, even if it meant spending money.

“Brother Lu, do you have something on your mind?”

Gao He gave a wry smile at his daughter’s behavior and then asked.

Usually, it was mostly him inviting Lu Changsheng over, as Lu Changsheng seldom sought him out for a chat.

So seeing Lu Changsheng come over, he guessed that there must be something up.

“It’s not any big deal,”

Lu Changsheng immediately explained his situation.

And he offered to pay ten Spirit Stones for a day’s work.

For a Middle Grade Talisman Master, this price was already quite good.

“Since Brother Lu trusts me, I’m more than happy to help,”

Gao He slapped his chest and said with a beaming smile.

“Alright then, I’ll be counting on you, Brother Gao, when the time comes.”

Having finished, Lu Changsheng chatted with Gao He for a bit more and then prepared to leave.

Gao Xiaoya, who had prepared the tea, saw that Lu Changsheng was about to leave.

She immediately called out, “Hey, Uncle Lu, won’t you sit for a while and have a cup of tea before you go?”

“No, I still have things to do,”

Lu Changsheng immediately gestured with his hand and headed out.

He had no interest in meddling in their father-daughter affairs.

As soon as he stepped out of the door, Lu Changsheng heard Gao Xiaoya’s loud, wailing voice and couldn’t help but shake his head and smile wryly.

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

The remaining two maids, Qing He and Shuixian, also became pregnant.

Lu Changsheng arranged for Haitang and Bai He to take care of the daily chores.

The other seven maids all became pregnant within just over four months.

There was also a month when Lu Changsheng had been away at Qingzhu Mountain and not returned.

Just as Lu Changsheng was planning to visit White Jade Tower one of these days.

A system notification suddenly sounded in his mind.
