Chapter 203: Chapter 111: Yin Yang Harmony Technique! Foundation Establishment!_2
 

Lu Changsheng’s expectations had risen accordingly.

He wished the mother of his child would have a better Spiritual Root.

If he were to go to White Jade Tower to buy a maid again, he would buy one with a Middle Grade Spiritual Root.

Now, a Lower Grade Spiritual Root really didn’t inspire much interest in him.

After returning home, Lu Changsheng took out the Second Rank Puppet from his Storage Bag in his room.

With a pinch of his fingers executing a Spiritual Art, he removed the Heart Protecting Mirror from the puppet.

He took out the ten Lower Grade Spirit Stones inside and replaced them with the ten Middle Grade Spirit Stones he had exchanged for.

“This is much more reliable!”

Lu Changsheng looked at the Metal Puppet in front of him and nodded in satisfaction.

With the support of ten Middle Grade Spirit Stones, this Second Rank Puppet could now tussle with a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator for a bit longer.

Otherwise, according to his previous estimation, after the five javelins on the puppet’s back were launched, the stored Spiritual Power would be almost depleted.

….

A little over a month later.

On the second floor of the Spiritual Talisman Shop.

Lu Changsheng held a talisman pen and smoothly completed a Superior Grade Talisman.

“Changsheng, you’ve already surpassed me in Talisman Making,”

“At this rate, I estimate that in four or five years, you’ll be able to try your hand at crafting Supreme Talismans and become a Top-Level First Grade Talisman Master.”

Lu Miaoge, dressed in white surpassing snow, with a beautiful face, smiled as she watched Lu Changsheng finish making the talisman.

In the past, she would feel somewhat frustrated watching Lu Changsheng’s rapid progress in the Talisman Path.

But as Lu Changsheng caught up with her with his swift improvements, she gradually came to terms with it.

After all, she was never one to be fiercely competitive by nature.

Seeing Lu Changsheng’s progress made her happy for him.

“It’s also thanks to Sister Miaoge for looking after the shop this past year that I’ve been able to focus on the Talisman Path in the tranquility of Qingzhu Mountain and make such rapid progress,”

Lu Changsheng said with a smile.

After all, the Fourth Elder had entrusted him to manage the shop.

But previously, he had handed the shop over to Lu Miaoge on the pretext of spending time at home with his wives and children.

“However, my current Cultivation Level is still too low, and I can only craft relatively simple Superior Grade Talismans.”

“To go further and craft more complex Superior Grade Talismans, I must break through to the Sixth Level of Energy Refinement.”

“As for Supreme Talismans, I guess I’ll have to wait until I reach the Seventh Level of Energy Refinement to try practicing them.”

“But with my Ninth Grade Spiritual Root, I don’t know when I’ll be able to break through to that level, so even if my Skills on the Talisman Path improve, it’s pointless.”

Lu Changsheng then continued with a wry smile.

He didn’t want to demoralize this young lady too much on the topic of Talisman Path.

“As long as you spend more time on your Cultivation and reach the Sixth Level, you can apply for a High Rank Breakthrough Elixir from the Family.”

“Then you’ll be able to break through to the Seventh Level very quickly,”

Lu Miaoge said, biting her lip gently, trying to comfort him.

She also felt it a pity for Lu Changsheng’s Spiritual Root Talent.

Such a great talent for Talisman Making, yet held back by his Spiritual Root.

“Thank you, Sister Miaoge, I will certainly work hard on Cultivation,”

Lu Changsheng nodded slightly.

“Master, Young Master Bai has arrived,”

At that moment, Shopkeeper Zhang Shan came to report.

“Just say I’m not here,”

“From now on, whenever this Young Master Bai comes, you’re to say I’m not here,”

Lu Miaoge said, furrowing her brows slightly, upon hearing this.

“Yes, Master,”

Zhang Shan nodded.

“Sister Miaoge, why not just tell this Young Master Bai outright to save him from pestering you like this?”

Lu Changsheng asked upon hearing this.

He had been around long enough to know what this Young Master Bai was all about.

This Young Master Bai came from the Bai Family at White Bird Lake.

The Bai Family had always had a good relationship with the Lu Family of Qingzhu Mountain, with numerous marriages between the two.

Not long ago, the Bai Family had made an overture to the Lu Family about an arranged marriage.

They wanted Young Master Bai to marry Lu Miaoge.

With a Fifth Grade Spiritual Root and being a Superior Grade Talisman Master, the Lu Family naturally did not want her to marry off.

But given the Lu Family’s current circumstances, it was difficult for them to outright refuse the Bai Family’s proposal without causing offense.

So they tactfully conveyed that the matter was for Lu Miaoge to decide.

If she was willing, it could be settled.

Subsequently, Young Master Bai came to Nine Dragons Market, starting to pursue Lu Miaoge.

“I’ve already told him explicitly before that I am devoted to my practice and not considering romance,”

Lu Miaoge said softly.

“Devoted to my practice and not considering romance,”

“Sister Miaoge, do you really think this way, or is this just an excuse to reject Young Master Bai?”

Lu Changsheng asked, raising his eyebrows curiously as he casually asked.

“In the Cultivation World, where fortunes change rapidly, only as a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator can one truly stand firm.”

“If I want to attempt Foundation Establishment, I can’t allow myself to be distracted by romance,”

Lu Miaoge replied with a light press of her lips, voicing her determination with a gentle but firm voice.

“That means you haven’t completely ruled out the possibility.”

“If you were to consider it, what would be your requirements for a Dao Companion?”

Lu Changsheng chuckled lightly, inquiring in a casual tone.

His relationship with Lu Miaoge was quite good by now, so this kind of conversation did not hold too much taboo for them.

“I have not given it much thought yet,”

Lu Miaoge said, her eyes lowered, speaking softly.

“I believe that with your potential, Sister Miaoge, you will definitely be able to succeed in Foundation Establishment,”

Lu Changsheng said, not pursuing the topic further.

“Foundation Establishment, it’s easier said than done,”

Lu Miaoge shook her head slightly.

As someone born into the Cultivation Family of the Lu Family, she knew very well how difficult it was to reach Foundation Establishment.

Otherwise, aside from the Lu Family Ancestor, no new Foundation Establishment Cultivator would’ve emerged in the family.

Without access to a Foundation Establishment Elixir, even if one reaches the peak of Energy Refinement with the appropriate age and possesses Foundation Establishment Spirit Objects, the probability of successfully establishing the foundation is at most thirty percent.

Then Lu Miaoge looked at Lu Changsheng and said, “If you become a Second Rank Talisman Master, there might still be hope for you to achieve Foundation Establishment in the future.”
