Chapter 88 - 75: Treasure Bone Technique, Your Maid Has Arrived!_1
Lu Changsheng noticed Lu Miaoge’s subtle actions.
He too sniffed gently.
Immediately, he detected a faint scent of sandalwood and a woman’s fragrance on himself.
It was left behind in the White Jade Tower while discussing matters with Feng Jiuniang.
“Miss wouldn’t think that I went to visit a brothel, right?”
Looking at Lu Miaoge’s expressionless and detached demeanor, Lu Changsheng didn’t know why, but he felt a slight pause in his heart.
A feeling of guilt unexpectedly arose.
But the next moment, thinking that he only went to the White Jade Tower to buy a maid, not to visit a brothel, what was there to feel guilty about?
“Sister Miaoge, I just passed by the White Jade Tower on my way back. Thinking of buying a maid, I went in to inquire about it,” he added.
“By the way, is the White Jade Tower reliable?”
Lu Changsheng found a topic to talk about, using it as a way to explain the fragrance on his body.
As for buying a maid, he had no intention of hiding it.
After all, it wasn’t something shameful; there was nothing to conceal.
Eventually, when the maid arrived, he would bring her back and keep her by his side, so it was better to inform Lu Miaoge now.
“The White Jade Tower?”
At that, Lu Miaoge was slightly taken aback, hearing a hint of explanation in Lu Changsheng’s words.
She said softly, “The White Jade Tower is almost everywhere in the marketplaces of Jiang Country, and I haven’t heard of any issues. Its reputation is quite good.”
“I’ve heard that the White Jade Tower not only has a presence in Jiang Country but also has influence in many countries within the Southern Wilderness Cultivation Realm, with a Nascent Soul True Monarch backing it!” Lu Miaoge remarked.
“They have influence in other countries, and a Nascent Soul True Monarch backing them?”
Lu Changsheng was surprised upon hearing this.
As someone who loved to read, he certainly understood that this world was vast beyond measure.
Jiang Country was but a small part of it.
His realm was called the ‘Southern Wilderness.’
In the Southern Wilderness, there were well over a hundred countries like Jiang Country.
Jiang Country had only one Nascent Soul True Monarch to guard it, ranking it as average among these countries.
However, the White Jade Tower’s ability to establish itself in multiple countries was certainly no small feat.
Most likely, there wasn’t just one Nascent Soul True Monarch behind it.
Indeed, one wouldn’t dare to conduct such business without some strength.
“Changsheng, for us cultivators, our cultivation level is fundamental,” she stated.
“Although your Spiritual Root Talent is average, you have an exceptional talent in the Talisman Path.”
“If you can become a Second Grade Talisman Master, there might be hope for you to achieve Foundation Establishment in the future,” Lu Miaoge spoke softly.
Through prolonged contact, she could tell that Lu Changsheng was not the type to be merely indulged in the pleasures of women.
He was very ambitious.
His marrying and taking concubines was due to his poor Spiritual Root, knowing that the path of immortality was out of reach.
Hence, through his family, he sought to continue his pursuit of immortality through his lineage.
“Sister Miaoge, I understand,” Lu Changsheng sincerely acknowledged, knowing that Lu Miaoge meant well, and he wouldn’t refute her words.
After all, what Lu Miaoge said was true.
In the Cultivation World, only one’s cultivation level and strength were fundamental!
Family heritage, lineage, leaving a mark in history, none of those mattered as much as one’s own cultivation and strength, one’s own longevity and becoming a legend!
“I take wives and concubines and sire children, all for the sake to become an immortal, to pursue longevity and become a legend in history!”
Lu Changsheng’s eyes glittered with depth and determination.
Seeing the firmness in Lu Changsheng’s eyes, Lu Miaoge thought he was taking her words to heart.
She couldn’t help but reveal a faint smile.
She had a rather favorable impression of Lu Changsheng.
A young man from a secular farming household, with only a Ninth Grade Spiritual Root, rejected by the Immortal Sects, sought to pursue immortality by joining the Lu Family as a son-in-law.
Yet, he rose step by step through the Talisman Path, reaching this point with the status of a son-in-law.
To her, that achievement had outdone many others.
After chatting for a while, Lu Changsheng headed to the resting room.
By now, this third-floor resting room had become his own room.
Inside the resting room, Lu Changsheng took out the ‘Magical Treasure fragment’ he had purchased at the marketplace.
“I wonder if this thing really is a fragment of a Magical Treasure,” he thought.
“If it is, then I’ve struck it rich!”
Lu Changsheng looked at the uneven black iron piece in his hand and mumbled to himself.
Without further ado, he began to refine the black iron block using the Sacrificial Refinement Technique of the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art.
If he succeeded in the refinement, it would confirm that the block was indeed a fragment of a Magical Treasure and could be integrated into his body as part of the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Technique.
“Tsk!”
As Lu Changsheng’s Mental Spirit surged with Spiritual Power, like an invisible flame, he started refining the black iron block before him.
Under the influence of his Mental Spirit, the black iron block revealed a faint dark glow.
As time passed, Lu Changsheng expended all of his Spiritual Power and exhaled deeply.
“Is this black iron piece actually a Magical Treasure fragment?”
“However, all the inscriptions within are destroyed, possessing no special effects. It must be just a fragment of some large Magical Treasure.”
“Nevertheless, it is sufficient. As long as I refine this Magical Treasure fragment and integrate it into my body, my Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Technique will progress rapidly!”
Lu Changsheng, looking at the black iron block before him, showed a weary yet surprised expression.
Through the refinement he just performed, he had confirmed that the black iron block was indeed a fragment of a Magical Treasure, albeit a thoroughly damaged one.
Inside, all enchantments and special effects were gone; it was simply a particularly hard material.
However, even in this damaged state, it wasn’t easy for him, a mere Fourth Level Energy Refinement weakling, to refine it and integrate it into his body.
Probably, it would take him the better part of a month to complete.
Lu Changsheng took out some jade bamboo wine, drank a sip, then took out a Spirit Stone and held it in his hand, starting to recover his Spiritual Power.
