Chapter 98: Chapter 78: I, Lu Changsheng, a Full-Time Artisan!_2

However, Lu Changsheng did glance over and saw that the household consisted only of Gao He and his daughter, as well as two servants, which seemed enough for such a large residence.

While chatting, Lu Changsheng learned that the other party was a Middle Grade Talisman Master who sat in residence at a Spiritual Talisman Shop.

Once Gao He learned that Lu Changsheng was the owner of the Qing Zhu Lu Family’s Spiritual Talisman Shop, he became noticeably more enthusiastic.

He expressed that they could have business dealings in the future.

Subsequently, the two also exchanged insights on the art of talisman making.

Through the conversation, Lu Changsheng roughly concluded that Gao He was at the intermediate level among Middle Grade Talisman Masters, still some distance away from becoming a superior one.

After leaving Gao He’s home, Lu Changsheng also took the opportunity to visit the residence across the street.

The person who opened the door was an elderly man, a senior servant of the household.

Upon hearing Lu Changsheng’s intention, he indicated that his master was not in and would only return after the hour of Xu each day.

Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng apologized for the disturbance and said he would visit again another time.

Then, he knocked on the door on the left to pay a visit there.

“Who might you be?”

The door was opened by a softly featured lady in her thirties, plump yet graceful in figure.

Her skin was as white as snow, her eyebrows like emerald feathers, her nose like a distant mountain, and her lips were as rosy as blossoms, with her jet-black hair coiled up into a bun.

She was draped in a light blue dress, with a slim waist tightly cinched by a belt, revealing a proud and curvaceous body; a gentle smile graced her lips, emanating a mature charm unique to a beautiful matron.

“My name is Lu Changsheng, I’ve just moved in next door, so I’ve taken the liberty to come and introduce myself.”

Lu Changsheng, with a genial face and a smile, bowed slightly with his hands clasped and presented a gift box containing talismans.

Inside were three Low-Grade Talismans and one Middle Grade Talisman.

After all, a small gift for a new acquaintance need not be too valuable.

“So, it’s Daoist Lu. Please, come in.”

Upon hearing this, the matron invited Lu Changsheng into the courtyard, served tea and water, and called out her husband to greet him.

Her husband was a man in his forties, tall and brawny.

This man was entirely different from the genial Gao He, being somewhat taciturn.

In his presence, Lu Changsheng even sensed a somewhat fierce aura, feeling that this person was not easy to approach.

After a brief conversation, Lu Changsheng took his leave, mentioning he would be available for future talisman purchases.

The man introduced himself as Zhao, who made his living by hunting demon beasts.

He told Lu Changsheng that if he ever wished to buy demon beast meat, he could come to him.

After paying his visits to the three neighboring families to the left and right, Lu Changsheng returned to his own residence.

After a bath, he called upon Xiao Qing and two maids, determined to strive for immortality!

The next day.

Just as Lu Changsheng was preparing to leave, he heard a knock at the door.

Upon opening, he saw a man with a tall stature and a refined appearance of middle age.

It was his neighbor from across the way, who, having heard of Lu Changsheng’s visit yesterday and noticing some activity this morning, took the opportunity to return the visit while at home.

The neighbor knew him and was aware that he was the new owner of the Lu Family’s Spiritual Talisman Shop.

Through his self-introduction, Lu Changsheng realized that this was the owner of the Jade Meal Hall, whom he had noted several times before.

Probably a born businessman, the owner of the Jade Meal Hall was also very amicable.

He suggested they should interact more in the future, offering discounts whenever Lu Changsheng dined at the Jade Meal Hall.

Lu Changsheng, too, was the type of person who responded amiably when others spoke kindly to him.

After exchanging pleasantries with the man, he finally set off.

He thought to himself that among the three neighboring families, aside from the somewhat fierce family on the left, the others seemed rather nice.

Time flew, and before he knew it, the end of the month was almost upon him.

Zhang Shan brought the inventory and list of goods purchased during the month for Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge to spot check.

It took two days for the two of them to finish inspecting the goods.

As before, they found some defective and flawed items, but not too many.

This prompted Lu Changsheng to inquire if Lu Miaoge’s suppliers for the shop weren’t long-term partners, why there were always some defective and flawed items in every shipment.

Faced with this question, Lu Miaoge merely said that although they were long-term collaborators, only some were fixed and long-term.

There were sometimes changes, necessitating the search for new suppliers.

Hearing this, Lu Changsheng nodded in understanding.

He recognized that the Lu Family’s supply chain was not entirely stable.

Thus, quality issues like this were simply unavoidable.

Thinking ahead to two months from now, when Lu Miaoge would no longer be around to help, Lu Changsheng felt a headache coming on.

After all, inspecting goods was truly a tedious and grueling task.

Once they had completed their checks and handed the confirmed list to Zhang Shan, Lu Changsheng also agreed with Lu Miaoge to return to Qingzhu Mountain in two days’ time.

Two days later, Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge rode the Iron Feather Eagle back to Qingzhu Mountain.

Xiao Qing naturally stayed in Nine Dragons Market, as she could not be expected to follow him around.

When he was to return to Nine Dragons Market, he would bring Guan Xin with him too, and with more people, it would be inconvenient.

The two had a smooth journey back to Qingzhu Mountain.

Upon returning home, Lu Changsheng learned that his twenty-fifth child had been born.

And on the third day after his return, his twenty-sixth child was also born.

No unexpected surprises occurred.

Both children were born without a Spiritual Root.

Lu Changsheng took this fact in stride.

There was still a month’s time before Lu Miaoyun was due to give birth.

Lu Changsheng had some expectations and paid special attention to the child in Lu Miaoyun’s womb.

He even thought to himself that perhaps he should stay in Qingzhu Mountain this month to wait for Lu Miaoyun to give birth and see the child before leaving.

However, considering that a month after Lu Miaoyun’s delivery, it would be time for Qu Zhenzhen’s child to be born.

He couldn’t very well wait for one and not the other.
