This matter is not about scarcity, but about uneven distribution.
If everyone waits, I feel like there’s no need for me to go out at all.
In the end, Lu Changsheng decided to spend the next few days in close companionship.
Then, estimating the time, he planned to come home early and stay a few extra days.
It could also be considered a special privilege for his wife.
During these three days at home, Lu Changsheng still spent time with his wives and daughters, hardly cultivating or making talismans.
This time, going to listen to the Fourth Elder’s talisman instruction, the Fourth Elder also handed over the talismans for the monthly shop restocking directly to Lu Changsheng.
The number of talismans wasn’t large, consisting of three Supreme Talismans, thirty Superior Grade Talismans, and thirty Middle Grade Talismans.
This made Lu Changsheng secretly wonder if the Fourth Elder drew only one Superior Grade and one Middle Grade Talisman each day?
However, he also remembered that the Lu Family had several shops in other marketplaces, and the Fourth Elder probably needed to supply a portion of the talismans there as well.
In the blink of an eye, three days passed, and Lu Changsheng took Lu Miaoge back to Nine Dragons Market.
Seeing Lu Changsheng return with Guan Xin, Lu Miaoge sighed softly.
After all, just last month, she had told Lu Changsheng that cultivation level and strength are fundamental.
Lu Changsheng at that time also firmly agreed.
But it hadn’t been long since then, and not only did he buy a maid at Nine Dragons Market, but he also brought another maid from home.
Nevertheless, she wasn’t one to talk too much.
Once she had said something, it was enough, and she wouldn’t bring it up a second time.
After returning to Nine Dragons Market, Lu Changsheng used the housing deed to issue Guan Xin a free residency card and settled her in comfortably.
He instructed her to communicate with Xiao Qing about anything she needed.
Now in this place, Xiao Qing was mainly in charge.
In the time that followed, Lu Changsheng resumed his comfortable life of daily cultivation, talisman making, childbearing, and going to and from work.
During this period, Gao He came over to chat and exchange insights on the Talisman Path with Lu Changsheng.
For someone as amiable as Gao He, Lu Changsheng was naturally polite, chatting over tea for half an hour and enriching Gao He’s understanding considerably.
Ten days later.
Lu Changsheng learned that Xiao Qing was pregnant.
He was extremely joyful at this news.
After all, Xiao Qing possessed a Ninth Grade Spiritual Root, which greatly increased the chances of having a child with a Spiritual Root.
But then, a faint worry emerged in his heart.
Whenever there was something to be done, he had always relied on Xiao Qing.
Now that Xiao Qing was pregnant, it wasn’t good to have her bustling about anymore.
Thinking that anybody capable of working by his side would soon be pregnant and unable to work,
he realized that he would never have someone stable by his side to handle tasks.
“I need to find someone, specifically to do the work, to be the steward of this courtyard,” Lu Changsheng thought to himself.
His mind suddenly turned to the beast-eared girls of White Jade Tower.
These beast-eared girls were cultivated by White Jade Tower through special methods and secret techniques, rendering them barren.
Purchasing one as a steward seemed like a good idea.
However, these beast-eared girls were quite expensive.
They typically cost several tens of Spirit Stones, easily exceeding a hundred Spirit Stones.
A suitable one for his liking would no doubt cost over a hundred Spirit Stones.
To spend over a hundred Spirit Stones on a beast-eared girl seemed too wasteful to Lu Changsheng.
Especially since he was in urgent need of Spirit Stones at the moment.
“No, that’s not right; I’m not a stud horse, nor is it that women in my yard must become pregnant. If I arrange for two maids specifically to do the work and ensure they don’t become pregnant, that should do,” Lu Changsheng came back to his senses, somewhat speechless at his previous thoughts, feeling that he had fallen into a mental trap thinking about childbearing day after day.
As a cultivator, he might not be able to guarantee that a woman would become pregnant.
But ensuring that a woman doesn’t become pregnant was still within his capabilities.
Remembering that he still had seven maids at White Jade Tower yet to be sent to him, he anticipated they would arrive soon.
Lu Changsheng decided to pick two of them to be in charge of household affairs when they arrived.
The next day.
Gao He came over again to chat and exchange insights on the Talisman Path with Lu Changsheng.
This made Lu Changsheng shake his head in amusement.
In his opinion, as neighbors, this sort of thing should just be an occasional conversation.
If they really wanted to talk, there wasn’t much to talk about in this area.
Mainly because the two were not on the same level.
Discussing the Talisman Path with Gao He was like a professor discussing elementary school homework with a grade school student.
However, he also knew that it was his own insightful performances during their past conversations that had led to Gao He’s improvements in the Talisman Path, which is why he kept coming back.
This time, Lu Changsheng was careful to appear comparatively more ordinary.
One reason was to discourage Gao He from constantly coming to him to talk about the Talisman Path,
and another was that he couldn’t show off too much since he was outwardly just a Middle Grade Talisman Master.
In the course of their chat, Lu Changsheng also inquired about the business model and daily operations of Gao He’s Spiritual Talisman Shop,
to see if there was anything he could learn for himself.
Gao He didn’t conceal anything and shared the truth.
The Spiritual Talisman Shop he presided over was quite similar in business model to the Lu Family’s Spiritual Talisman Shop,
only lacking in supply, quality control, and variety of talismans compared to the Lu Family’s shop.
Lu Changsheng nodded slightly, gaining a basic understanding.
In fact, whether it’s a Spirit Talisman Shop, an Elixir Medicines Shop, a Magic Artifact Shop, or a Formation Shop, etc.,
as long as you have the strength, your business won’t do poorly; it can certainly thrive!
For the Lu Family’s Spiritual Talisman Shop, in addition to the renown of Qing Zhu and the Lu Family, the core competitive power lies in the Fourth Elder’s three Supreme Talismans and thirty Superior Grade Talismans.
“As long as I keep up the prize draws, maybe I can become a full-time craftsman,”
“By then, I can train my children in this direction or cultivate more craftsmen, ensuring not only a stable income for the family but also sparing my children from having to fight to the death outside to earn resources.”
