Chapter 118

The woman’s face, which had been filled with smiles just a moment ago, suddenly turned cold, and with a snort, she turned and left.

Seeing this, Yu Maocheng sighed to the heavens, knowing he had been caught in his own trap again.

He hurried after her, trying to appease: “My wife, my wife, listen to my explanation. My love for you is as clear as the sun and moon, how could I possibly entertain such thoughts? It was just a joke…”

When Lu Changsheng arrived at the White Jade Tower, the red-dressed girl who greeted him already remembered him.

She immediately approached with a beaming smile and led him to a room on the second floor.

“Master Lu, it’s been a long time. Jiuniang has truly missed you~”

In the room, dressed in a black phoenix bird misty silk long dress and oozing charm, the seductive Feng Jiuniang greeted Lu Changsheng with a demure smile.

“Heh, Manager Feng, I’ve come this time to buy a few more maids.”

“I wonder if the White Jade Tower currently has any Spiritual Root maids, preferably priced under three hundred Spirit Stones.”

Lu Changsheng’s gaze unconsciously swept over the fullness of her neckline and the plump thighs under her dress, then he spoke.

Every time he came to the White Jade Tower and saw this Feng Jiuniang, he couldn’t help but exclaim that this woman was charming to the bone.

This made him think, if she was just a manager at the Nine Dragons Market’s White Jade Tower,

how alluring the managers, or those higher up, in an Immortal City, or at the headquarters might be.

“Master Lu, please enjoy the tea; I will go see if there is an appropriate candidate for you,” Feng Jiuniang said with a soft, alluring smile, not minding Lu Changsheng’s gaze.

After pouring tea for Lu Changsheng and bending over, she swayed her slender waist and clicked out of the room.

Before long, Feng Jiuniang returned, placed two Jade Slips on the table, and said, “I’ve just checked, and currently, there are only two girls who meet Master Lu’s requirements. Please see if you are interested.”

“Alright.”

Lu Changsheng nodded, picked up a Jade Slip, and placed it on his forehead, sensing it with his spiritual mind.

Immediately, he saw a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl with delicate features, a petite and adorable figure.

Her cute face held a look of grievance and reluctance.

Without thinking, he knew this girl must have been like Shao Yuyao, ending up in the White Jade Tower due to various circumstances and reasons.

And so, he intended to rescue them.

Lu Changsheng picked up the second Jade Slip.

The image inside was of a twenty-seven or twenty-eight-year-old woman with attractive features and a shapely figure, but she appeared somewhat weak, with a hint of numbness in her eyes.

“What are the circumstances of these two maids, and what are their prices?”

With his experiences from the previous two times, Lu Changsheng was now quite experienced and asked directly.

“This woman has a Qi Refinement second level Cultivation Level and possesses a Ninth Grade Spiritual Root; she is priced at two hundred and ten Spirit Stones.”

“This woman has a Seventh Grade Spiritual Root but no cultivation level, and she is priced at three hundred Spirit Stones,” Feng Jiuniang pointed to the two Jade Slips and introduced.

“Why does she have a Seventh Grade Spiritual Root but no cultivation level? And isn’t the price for a Seventh Grade Spiritual Root more than this?”

Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng’s eyebrows rose, questioning her.

He had a general idea of the pricing for maids at the White Jade Tower.

A maid with a Seventh Grade Spiritual Root would normally cost at least five or six hundred Spirit Stones.

“This woman originally had a Qi Refinement fifth level Cultivation Level, but her Qi Ocean Core was damaged, resulting in the loss of her cultivation level, which is why she has no cultivation level.”

“And that is exactly why, despite having a Seventh Grade Spiritual Root, she only costs three hundred Spirit Stones,” explained Feng Jiuniang.

“I see,” said Lu Changsheng, nodding slightly.

No wonder when he had looked at her in the Jade Slip just now, she seemed somewhat fragile.

Presumably, her body was only beginning to recover and was still weak.

Looking at it this way, this young matron must have suffered much more than the young girl.

In that case, he decided to choose to rescue this young matron.

Without delay, Lu Changsheng spoke, “Please show me her detailed information, Manager Feng.”

Feng Jiuniang brought out the information about this maid.

Lu Changsheng scrutinized it closely.

The woman’s name was Xiao Yueru, thirty years old, much like Shao Yuyao, from a small Qi Refinement family.

Because her family was destroyed, she ended up at the White Jade Tower.

She had been injured in battle, damaging her Qi Ocean Core, resulting in the dissipation of her cultivation level, and she was unable to cultivate further.

There were no lingering side effects, she was capable of bearing children.

However, she was not a virgin and had given birth to a child before.

This should also be a factor in White Jade Tower’s assessment of the price.

“Alright, I’ll take her.”

After inspecting, Lu Changsheng stated directly.

Since he had come with the purpose of buying a maid, he didn’t have many scruples.

Moreover, she could be considered a decent woman.

She wasn’t like the celestial maidens from Drunk Immortal Pavilion or Spring Abundance Building, whose red lips had been tasted by thousands.

As for cultivation level, Lu Changsheng didn’t care at all.

What he valued was the woman’s Seventh Grade Spiritual Root.

If it weren’t for the fact that this woman’s Qi Ocean Core was damaged, based on the previous prices at White Jade Tower, a woman with a Seventh Grade Spiritual Root would normally cost at least five to six hundred Spirit Stones.

In Lu Changsheng’s opinion, for him, this was quite the bargain.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Changsheng paid a deposit of sixty Spirit Stones and waited for the person to be delivered.

He also spent fifty Spirit Stones to purchase four ordinary maids without Spiritual Roots.

Lu Changsheng asked White Jade Tower to send these four maids to his residence later on; he didn’t want to take them back with him.

Otherwise, it would be too conspicuous to walk down the street with them.

For such a small request, Feng Jiuniang readily agreed, indicating there was no problem.

Just as he was about to leave White Jade Tower, Lu Changsheng thought of something.

He asked Feng Jiuniang, “Manager Feng, does White Jade Tower have any women with a Spiritual Body?”

About Spiritual Bodies, he had only read some brief mentions in books before.

It was only because of the matter with the woman in the colorful dress that it occurred to him.

Considering White Jade Tower had such extensive connections, there might be women with Spiritual Bodies.

Feng Jiuniang seemed slightly startled upon hearing this.

Then she softly smiled coquettishly, “Of course we do.”

“Hm!?”

Lu Changsheng was somewhat surprised upon hearing this.

He hadn’t expected that within White Jade Tower, there would indeed be women with a Spiritual Body.

It seemed White Jade Tower was even more impressive than he had imagined.

Seeing Lu Changsheng’s surprise, Feng Jiuniang chuckled lightly and continued, “However, individuals with a Spiritual Body are extremely rare, one in ten thousand, and even White Jade Tower doesn’t see many of them.”

“Plus, even if there are any, they are generally thinking of finding a Dao Companion through White Jade Tower, hoping to marry a satisfactory gentleman.”

“If Young Master Lu is looking to spend Spirit Stones to buy a maid, I’m afraid he will be disappointed.”

“Even we at White Jade Tower don’t have many maids with a Spiritual Body, and many people come to us with reservations.”

“If Young Master Lu is interested, he can first pay a deposit, and when White Jade Tower finds someone with a Spiritual Body, we will notify him.”

With a charming smile on her face, Feng Jiuniang spoke unhurriedly.

“I was just asking casually.”

Hearing this, Lu Changsheng was not really disappointed, as he found this more normal.

Otherwise, if even women with Spiritual Bodies were being casually sold at White Jade Tower, their power would be quite terrifying.

He didn’t ask further.

Now, women bearing a Spiritual Body were a bit out of reach for him, not something he could contemplate at this stage.

If he happened to meet one, that would be more than good enough.

But to spend money at White Jade Tower to buy a maid with a Spiritual Body, that was out of the question.

With that money, he might as well buy a few maids with Middle Grade Spiritual Roots.

After all, the grade of the parents’ Spiritual Roots directly affects the potential of their children’s Spiritual Roots.

If both parents have Lower Grade Spiritual Roots, it is difficult to have children with Middle Grade Spiritual Roots.

If among the parents, one has a Middle Grade Spiritual Root, then the probability of their children having Middle Grade Spiritual Roots becomes much higher.

Immediately after, under Feng Jiuniang’s escort, Lu Changsheng left White Jade Tower.

“Hm?”

As Lu Changsheng was on his way back, he heard a commotion from a nearby shop; turning to look, he saw a familiar figure.
