After all, when it comes to lending money, one must be prepared for the possibility that the other party won’t repay it.

Lu Miaocheng also managed a shop, but his monthly earnings were not much.

“Last time at Spring Abundance Building, there was a female cultivator I particularly liked, so I’ve spent all my spirit stones recently, which is why I’ve come to borrow some from you,” he said.

“Changsheng, let me tell you, the women of Spring Abundance Building are not only stunning in appearance but also can offer you the ultimate pleasure, incomparable to ordinary maids and concubines…”

Lu Miaocheng continued, his handsome face breaking into a smile that seemed somewhat lecherous at that moment.

Lu Changsheng had also heard of this Spring Abundance Building.

He knew it was a brothel in the marketplace.

All the workers there were celestial maidens skilled in the art of love.

So the prices were also extremely high.

A single experience could cost several spirit stones, or even dozens.

Lu Miaocheng had probably been frequenting the place lately.

It was normal for him to have spent all his spirit stones.

After all, such places were truly gold sinks.

No matter how many spirit stones you had, they wouldn’t last if you went there every day.

“Cousin, I’ve almost spent all my spirit stones these days, and I’ve just bought a maid, so I don’t have many left,” Lu Changsheng said with a look of difficulty, and then took out twenty spirit stones.

He was, after all, a member of a prominent family; there were frequent interactions where they would see each other.

These past days, he had received many greetings from him.

Although it was always invitations to read or appreciate tea, there was a certain camaraderie, so it was difficult to outright refuse.

If the other party really didn’t repay, then he would consider the twenty spirit stones as lost to the water.

“Good brother, thank you!”

“I will repay you once I have spirit stones, and then I’ll take you to experience Spring Abundance Building properly!”

Lu Miaocheng said, smiling as he took the spirit stones and then turned and left.

“Sigh,”

Watching Lu Miaocheng’s departing figure, Lu Changsheng shook his head.

“This Cousin, despite being a Qi Refinement fifth layer cultivator, has come to borrow spirit stones from me because of his frequent visits to the brothel that have left him haggard.”

“Places like that, better to avoid them if possible. With that money, wouldn’t it be better to take a few concubines or buy some maids? Doesn’t that sound nice?”

“No, that’s not right, am I, Lu, someone who lusts for pleasure and brief romantic encounters? Even if I take wives and concubines, it’s for the Great Dao, for long life and clear sight!”

Lu Changsheng mused to himself, his eyes bright with determination, and his posture a bit more erect.

Shortly afterward, he strode upright, accompanied by Lu Miaoge, to work.

Arriving at the Spiritual Talisman Shop, Lu Changsheng proceeded as usual to draft a few middle-grade talismans.

He had come to Nine Dragons Market to manage the shop, but the monthly tasks given by the Lu Family for drawing talismans were still ongoing and needed to be completed on time.

However, Lu Changsheng didn’t want to give up on this task himself either.

After all, not only did he earn spirit stones from it, but he also got to keep all the extra materials for himself—a lucrative deal!

At noon, Lu Changsheng invited Lu Miaoge to eat at Jade Meal Hall.

Though slightly expensive, the food really was delicious.

Treating oneself to a meal there every so often was not bad.

Yet, during the several trips Lu Miaoge and Lu Changsheng had made to Jade Meal Hall, Lu Miaoge had not let Lu Changsheng pay, suggesting they take turns covering the bill.

Lu Changsheng didn’t mind and certainly wasn’t about to fight to pay.

Qing Zhu Lu’s Spiritual Talisman Shop.

Inside the Talisman Room.

“Hmm, could there be defects even in premium talisman paper?”

After finishing a superior-grade talisman, the Dungeon Talisman, Lu Changsheng looked surprised.

He had almost failed in creating this talisman just now.

The reason was simple.

There was a tiny flaw on the talisman paper that almost caused his talisman-making to fail.

Subsequently, Lu Changsheng checked the remaining dozen or so sheets of paper, all of which were fine.

It was only the one he had just worked on that had a small defect.

Seeing this, Lu Changsheng didn’t pay it much mind or take it to heart.

After all, finding a minor defect in a stack of talismans could still be considered acceptable.

After a short rest, Lu Changsheng thought that it had been almost a month since he came to Nine Dragons Market.

In a few days, after inspecting the monthly inventory, he would be able to return home.

“I should buy some gifts to take back since I’m returning soon.”

He then gave Lu Miaoge a heads up and went out to buy gifts for his wives and children.

That night,

Lu Changsheng’s eyes were slightly narrowed as he lay back in the bath.

After a while, Shao Yuyao’s head emerged from the water, covering her mouth, coughing softly.

Lu Changsheng gestured with his hand, using the Object Manipulating Technique to pour a cup of tea from the teapot on the side table, which landed in his hand.

He handed it to the maid in front of him, speaking softly, “There’s really no need… to swallow it.”

“It’s fine, young master…”

Shao Yuyao took a sip of tea and spoke softly, her eyes downcast.

Her clear eyes no longer had the numbness they had before.

Through their interactions over these days, she had come to understand that her young master was a decent person.

Especially yesterday.

The woman who had always looked at her young master with disdain had given her a couple of pointers.

She said that apart from being desirous of women, her master was decent regarding females.

As long as she behaved well, apart from bearing children, she would not be mistreated.

Spiritual Talisman Shop.

“Boss, here is this month’s stock.”

“Including four hundred ninety-six basic talismans, eight hundred fifty-one lower-grade talismans, three hundred eighty-eight middle-grade talismans, ordinary talisman paper…”

Zhang Shan handed over a list and five storage bags to Lu Miaoge to inspect.

Lu Miaoge nodded and then went to the third floor, calling Lu Changsheng over to help check the inventory.

Of course, they couldn’t possibly check all these goods.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t know when they would finish.
