Chapter 89 - 75: Treasure Bone Technique, Your Maid Has Been Delivered!_2
Just like that, after cultivating until evening, Lu Miaoge knocked on the door, and then he left the room.
He left the Spiritual Talisman Shop with Lu Miaoge and returned to the Eastern District, to the Lu Family courtyard.
In the following days, Lu Changsheng devoted his time to talisman making, cultivation, and refining the black iron chunk.
He moved back and forth between the Lu Family courtyard and the Spiritual Talisman Shop.
Whenever there was an issue in the shop that required the owner’s intervention, Lu Miaoge would tell Lu Changsheng how to handle it and let him take care of it.
During this period, Lu Miaocheng also came to find Lu Changsheng several times.
He invited him to read or to enjoy some tea.
But Lu Changsheng declined every time.
One reason was that Lu Miaoge had told him to avoid associating too much with Lu Miaocheng, so he kept his distance.
Another was that he felt somewhat averse to this kind of place deep down.
Why not buy a few maids or take a few concubines, isn’t that nice?
In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.
At the Nine Dragons Marketplace, on the third floor of the Spiritual Talisman Shop.
Inside the resting room, Lu Changsheng looked at the black iron chunk floating before him, showing a delighted expression in his eyes.
After his half-month-long refining, this magical treasure fragment was finally fully refined by him and could be condensed into his body.
“Condense!”
Lu Changsheng spread open his chest, revealing his muscles marked with flowing lines.
Then he formed a spell with his hands and pointed toward the black iron chunk.
The black iron chunk slowly entered his chest, integrating bit by bit with it.
The Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art could refine the body into an unrivaled magical treasure in one go, or it could be trained gradually, part by part.
Therefore, the method of refining with the aid of magical treasures could also be applied to different parts of the body.
In the method of condensation, there are seven parts in the human body where magical treasures can be condensed into.
These parts are the skull, sternum, spine, and limbs—a total of seven parts.
Among them, the limbs pertain to the individual refinement of each part.
The sternum, spine, and skull can affect the entire body.
However, condensing into these three parts is much more dangerous.
Especially the skull, which involves the brain, is extremely perilous, and a single misstep could result in self-injury.
Luckily, having mastered the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art completely, Lu Changsheng had a fair amount of confidence in condensing into his sternum.
After some time.
The black iron chunk fully entered Lu Changsheng’s chest and was condensed into his sternum.
On his chest, one could faintly make out the uneven pattern of the black iron chunk.
“So ugly!”
Lu Changsheng looked at the pattern on his chest, resembling a birthmark tattoo, and pursed his lips in distaste.
“But ugliness aside, for the sake of cultivation, it’s a small price to pay.”
“With the assistance of this magical treasure fragment, I estimate that at most half a year, no, with my own daily cultivation, within three to four months, I could master the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art!”
Lu Changsheng quietly felt the effects brought about by the magical treasure fragment.
Now, the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art, like the Immortal Beauty Technique after foundation establishment with the five elements spiritual materials, was able to cultivate automatically, nourishing the whole body.
“This magical treasure fragment won’t support my cultivation for too long, at most only for one year.”
“But one year is enough, perhaps by that time, I’ll draw a magical treasure through the system!”
“With a magical treasure, if I can condense it into my body for cultivation, my Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art will truly progress at a rapid pace!”
Lu Changsheng’s eyes flickered as he murmured to himself.
“After making initial progress with the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art, I can also start to cultivate the ‘Baogu Method.’”
“Using the power of magical treasures to nurture the sternum, hand bones, leg bones, spinal bones, and skull, turning the human skeleton into treasure bones!”
“Once the treasure bones are formed, they’re like spirit talismans, and even in the Qi Refinement Realm, I could exert part of a magical treasure’s power!”
Lu Changsheng licked his lips in anticipation.
The Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art, being an Orthodox Level Cultivation Technique, naturally contained innumerable mysteries.
It had not only cultivation methods but also various supporting techniques like condensing magical treasures and the Baogu Method.
After finishing the refinement of the magical treasure fragment, Lu Changsheng noticed it was still early, and it had been quite some time since his last visit to Southwest Street.
He mentioned to Lu Miaoge that he was going out for a while.
Lu Miaoge did not ask too many questions or make further comments.
Once outside, just like he did before, Lu Changsheng changed his appearance and visited three spirit talisman shops, selling over a hundred low-grade talismans and more than thirty middle-grade talismans, earning a total of two hundred and fifty-nine spirit stones.
After each trip, Lu Changsheng would find an inn, change his appearance and clothes again.
He also made it a routine to check whether anyone was keeping tabs on him.
Under the effect of the Purification Talisman, there was no issue with him.
However, at this moment, one of the spirit stones he had just received began to emit strands of black smoke.
“Just for selling a few talismans, I’m being watched?”
“Little Talisman Hall, I’ve noted you!”
Lu Changsheng narrowed his eyes slightly as he watched the black smoke billowing out.
He hadn’t expected that just selling a few dozen talismans in one shop would attract attention.
“It might also be because I have sold talismans at this Little Talisman Hall before, and the shopkeeper saw through me this time.”
Lu Changsheng speculated in his mind.
After all, his ability to disguise wasn’t all that sophisticated.
And in the Nine Dragons Marketplace, everyone living off their wits had their own means, so it was plausible for someone to notice something odd.
“Looks like I’ll need to lay low for a while.”
Lu Changsheng slightly frowned, then took out another high-grade Purification Talisman.
He applied it to himself and everything in his Storage Bag, checking over the spirit stones to ensure there were no other issues.
Once he confirmed there were no problems, Lu Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief.
He planned not to sell talismans this way for the next month or two.
Otherwise, he might attract the attention of other interested parties.
He wasn’t just reading books for nothing; he knew that in the Cultivation World, there were many unique and various techniques.
