Chapter 75: Chapter 70: I am willing to be a concubine for my master!_3

After all, they had been traveling for the past two days and hadn’t really rested.

Although they couldn’t be considered extremely tired, they still needed to recover their mental spirit through sleep.

After a short nap, Lu Changsheng saw that Lu Miaoge was still in the Talisman Room, feeling somewhat bored, so he found something to do and went upstairs.

He wanted to check on the talisman-making skills of Li Shi and Wang Wu and planned to give them some guidance on talisman crafting.

He possessed the Second Rank talisman-making skill given by the system, so his foundational knowledge in talismans was incredibly solid.

It was definitely not comparable to those who relied on their self-study and understanding.

Not to mention guiding two talisman apprentices,

even his own grandmother, the Fourth Elder of the Lu Family, a First Grade top-level talisman master, could receive a pointer or two from him.

“Second Master!”

“Second Master!”

In the upstairs workroom, Li Shi and Wang Wu, who were making talisman paper, immediately brightened up when they saw Lu Changsheng coming over, stopped their work and called out sweetly.

Their voices involuntarily softened a few degrees more than usual.

“I’ve come to see how you are progressing with your talisman-making, to give you some guidance.”

Lu Changsheng said aloud.

Both women were rather good-looking, not incredibly beautiful, but they could definitely be considered pretty.

After all, they were the descendants of cultivators, so the genetic aspect was generally not bad.

However, he didn’t have any particular thoughts about the two women in front of him.

Although he did want to find a woman with a Spiritual Root to have children,

it was not to the extent of asking any woman he met to bear his children.

Moreover, he had just arrived at the shop and hadn’t done much; it wouldn’t look good if he started making moves on an apprentice.

It would not only affect Lu Miaoge and the Fourth Elder’s impression of him,

but his reputation, which had just started to improve in the Lu Family, would be ruined again.

It was unnecessary and not worth it.

“Thank you, Second Master.”

“Second Master, please have a seat.”

The two women looked at Lu Changsheng, said in their sweet voices, and prepared the chair and brewed the tea.

“What talismans have you learned so far?”

Lu Changsheng waved his hand and asked.

Immediately, the two women started to list the talismans they knew.

They had been at the Spiritual Talisman Shop for five or six years and had mastered about a dozen to twenty basic talismans.

This was also because, as apprentices, they had to create profits for the shop, so they needed to learn a variety of different talismans.

Although basic talismans didn’t make much money, as a Spiritual Talisman Shop, it was necessary to have a sufficient variety of talismans.

“Okay, show me the talismans you have been practicing lately by drawing them for me.”

Lu Changsheng nodded and instructed.

Both women immediately took out their talisman brushes, talisman paper, and spirit ink to start the talisman-making process.

“Pfft!”

At this moment, Li Shi, while halfway through the drawing, failed, and the talisman paper emitted blue smoke.

She became somewhat flustered and stuttered to Lu Changsheng: “Second Master, I’m sorry, I—I got a bit nervous.”

She was normally very cheerful, but in front of Lu Changsheng, she couldn’t help but feel a touch of nervousness.

“What’s there to be nervous about? I’m not some flood or beast, and I certainly don’t eat people. If you fail, just continue, that’s all.”

Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but smile and waved his hand.

Upon hearing Lu Changsheng’s comforting words and seeing his smile, a blush spread across Li Shi’s pretty face,

making it hard for her to breathe, and her heart raced.

There were many handsome men in the world,

but how many were handsome, came from a good family background, and were also a middle-grade talisman master?

At least Li Shi hardly ever came across such men in her daily life, so Lu Changsheng’s smile made her heart flutter more than usual, and her nervousness intensified.

“Why is your face turning red like a teapot?”

Lu Changsheng saw that her face was red, with a lovestruck expression, and was momentarily at a loss for words.

“I haven’t even done anything, and you’re already like this?”

“Unknowingly, has my charm become so great?”

Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.

He also suddenly realized that he was no longer his former self.

Not only was he handsome, but he was also wealthy and accomplished at a young age.

Hmph, such a mundane woman!

Lu Changsheng restrained his smile, his expression indifferent, and he said evenly, “Continue.”

At that moment, he vaguely understood why Lu Miaoge didn’t like to smile and always had an aloof, otherworldly demeanor.

This was the trouble of being good-looking.

“Yes, Second Master.”

Li Shi, hearing these words, quickly nodded, immediately focused her mind, not daring to look too much at Lu Changsheng, and started to draw talismans again.

Lu Changsheng could tell that the two women had a solid foundation in basic talismans.

They were almost ready to try drawing lower-grade talismans.

However, he had no immediate plans to teach the two women how to do so.

Once they started learning to draw lower-grade talismans, most of their time and energy would be consumed in that endeavor.

This would undoubtedly interfere with their current work.

Better to have the two women continue to lay the foundation until they were completely solid, and then try lower-grade talismans.

Soon after, Lu Changsheng, with a detached manner, gave the two women pointers on talisman-making.

The two apprentices felt that this Second Master explained things more thoroughly and understandably than the senior master, proving extremely beneficial to them.

“That’s enough, practice more on your own during your free time.”

“Wait a while longer, and if you perform well, I’ll teach you lower-grade talismans.”

After drawing them a proverbial carrot, Lu Changsheng left the second floor.

He could clearly sense that, despite his indifferent demeanor, he couldn’t deter the two women’s enthusiasm at all.

He estimated that with just a wave of his hand, the two apprentices would take the initiative to come forward.

Yet, he still had no such intentions.

It was still the same reasoning as before, it wasn’t necessary and the cost wouldn’t be worth the benefit.

“Speaking of which, does this count as peach blossom luck?”

Lu Changsheng suddenly thought.

“Thank you, Second Master!”

“Thank you, Second Master!”

The two women, hearing his words, were overwhelmed with joy, and their eyes seemed to brim with tears as they looked at Lu Changsheng.

Handsome, from a good family, and a Middle-Grade Talisman Master, he was the man of their dreams.

“If only I could marry the Second Master,” Li Shi murmured after Lu Changsheng’s retreating figure had disappeared.

“You silly girl, smitten much? Is your heart aflutter?” Wang Wu teased.

“With the Second Master being so handsome and speaking so kindly, and also as a Middle-Grade Talisman Master, don’t you like him?” Li Shi said defiantly in response to Wang Wu’s teasing.

“Of course I like him, but what good is liking him? We’re not worthy of the Second Master. I’d even be content to marry him as a concubine,” Wang Wu said with the same conviction.

Li Shi felt a bit disheartened upon hearing this.

In the Cultivation World where men outnumbered women, young female cultivators were highly prized.

People like them naturally had suitors, and many came knocking to propose.

But they both had some talent in talisman-making and a future as Elementary Talisman Masters loomed.

Once they became Talisman Masters, even if only Elementary, they could expect to marry into a respectable household.

But now, before Lu Changsheng, the thought of marriage made them feel inferior.
