Chapter 130 - 88: Changsheng, Grandma will speak on Miaoyun’s behalf_3
In the blink of an eye, more than half a month had passed.
Lu Changsheng received news from White Jade Tower that the maid he had purchased, Xiao Yueru, had been delivered and asked him to come over for the inspection.
Immediately, Lu Changsheng went to White Jade Tower and looked over his new maid.
She had a dignified and pretty appearance, with black hair neatly done up, giving off a mature wife’s charm.
Her almond-shaped eyes were dull, but under her high nose bridge, her lips were plump; she would probably look very sweet if she smiled.
She wore a light blue dress that showcased her tall and slender figure, with a full and proud bust that almost burst through the fabric. Although she lacked elegance, she was very eye-catching, and her full hips were also shocking, heavy like honey peaches.
“Yueru has seen Young Master Lu.”
Xiao Yueru’s face was still somewhat pale and haggard, her voice soft and gentle, like a willow brushing against water.
“Miss Xiao, are you willing to be this young master’s maid?”
Lu Changsheng looked at Xiao Yueru before him and asked indifferently.
He, Lu someone, even if he spent money, never coerced anyone!
Xiao Yueru also knew her fate.
She couldn’t refuse such matters.
Moreover, the young man in front of her, from his looks and temperament, didn’t seem like a bad person.
She immediately showed a hint of a smile and bowed gracefully, “Yueru is willing to be the young master’s maid.”
Her smile was indeed sweet, like a delightful young girl, perfectly blending mature charm with the amorousness in her eyes and eyebrows.
“Alright, Manager Feng, I’m quite satisfied.”
Hearing this, Lu Changsheng also showed a faint smile and spoke to Feng Jiuniang.
After completing the transaction with Feng Jiuniang.
Holding onto Xiao Yueru’s Spiritual Contract, he took her home with him.
On the way, Lu Changsheng directly spoke to Xiao Yueru, saying the reason he bought a maid was to have children.
As long as she could give birth to several children, he would not mistreat her.
Regarding other things, he said nothing further, nor did he inquire about Xiao Yueru’s circumstances.
After all, having gone through White Jade Tower, these karmic matters were no longer his concern.
He also didn’t have the ability to help sort things out.
After speaking these words, Lu Changsheng suddenly felt a hint of trance.
He remembered, back when he was expelled by Qingyun Sect, Lu Yuanding appeared and talked about finding a son-in-law, having fifty children in twenty years.
At this moment, he and the past Lu Yuanding seemed strikingly similar.
“This is life.”
Lu Changsheng felt somewhat moved in his heart.
Then, he laughed lightly and said, “Whether good or bad, one should live without regrets!”
Back home, because of Xiao Yueru’s matter, Lu Changsheng had already talked to Lu Miaoyun.
So after bringing her home, Lu Miaoyun had no objections.
He arranged for Xiao Yueru to share a room with another maid.
Since Lu Miaoyun and Qu Zhenzhen had arrived, the courtyard seemed a bit cramped.
Thus, a few maids ended up sharing rooms, two or three to a room.
In the day-to-day life, Lu Changsheng saw that Lu Miaoyun and Qu Zhenzhen were often bored, so he occasionally taught the two Talisman Making.
He thought of leveraging his own Talisman-Making Skill to see if he could make both women into Talisman Masters.
Lu Miaoyun had been verified by the Fourth Elder and indeed lacked the talent for it.
Qu Zhenzhen was a bit better, but still not notably so.
This made Lu Changsheng sigh inwardly, fearing that having his children learn a skill would be difficult as well.
Without any talent, one could only rely on money.
However, skills built up by money alone had their limits.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, over a month had passed.
Xiao Yueru became pregnant under Lu Changsheng’s care.
And the child in Shao Yuyao’s womb was also born.
To Lu Changsheng’s disappointment, this child did not possess a Spiritual Root.
Half a month later.
In the Spiritual Talisman Shop, on the third floor in the Talisman Room.
“Phew!”
Lu Changsheng let out a long breath, looking at the Black Dragon Magical Bead floating before him, his eyes filled with joy.
After nearly three months of refinement, this Magical Treasure was finally ready for him to integrate into his body.
Immediately, Lu Changsheng took off his top garment, revealing a well-defined and smooth chest.
He planned to integrate the Black Dragon Magical Bead into his breastbone.
However, each body part could only be integrated with one Magical Treasure.
To integrate the Black Dragon Magical Bead, he would first need to remove the shard of the previous treasure from within his breastbone.
“Chi!”
With a light exhalation, Lu Changsheng activated the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art. A glowing light of precious energy circulated on his chest, and the black birthmark formed by a chunk of iron started to wriggle gently.
Gradually, a black shard emerged slowly from his chest, bit by bit.
After a long time, the shard of the Magical Treasure was removed.
Lu Changsheng took a sip of jade bamboo liquor and then held a Spirit Stone to recover his Spiritual Power.
Refining the Black Dragon Magical Bead and removing the shard had taken a toll on him.
He needed to restore his inner Spiritual Power before he could continue to integrate the Black Dragon Magical Bead.
When his Spiritual Power was sufficiently restored, Lu Changsheng began to integrate the Black Dragon Magical Bead into his body.
Under the concentration of his Spiritual Power, the Black Dragon Magical Bead slowly assimilated with Lu Changsheng’s chest.
Like this, as time passed bit by bit, the Black Dragon Magical Bead completely merged into Lu Changsheng’s chest, integrated into his breastbone.
This left the pattern of a Black Dragon Magical Bead on his chest.
As the Black Dragon Magical Bead entered his breastbone, Lu Changsheng felt a powerful force washing over and refining his flesh, meridians, and bones.
He felt as if his Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art was training and improving at every moment.
“Is this the effect of integrating a Magical Treasure into my body? It’s a hundred times better than the previous Magical Treasure shard!”
“With this force refining me, even if I don’t cultivate, just give it a couple of years and my Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art will break through to the second level!”
Lu Changsheng quietly savored the refining power of the Black Dragon Magical Bead, his face full of surprise and happiness.
The effect of integrating the Magical Treasure into his body was several times better than he had anticipated.
If he continued to cultivate like this, the strength of his Body Refinement would fully catch up with his Qi Refinement.
“I wonder when I’ll be able to draw a Qi Refinement Cultivation Technique.”
“I’m so done with this lousy Returning Origin Technique,” Lu Changsheng thought to himself.
If he had a Qi Refinement Cultivation Technique like the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art,
not only would his foundations and strength improve, but his cultivation speed might also increase.
“However, Miaoyun is about to give birth soon. If this child possesses a Spiritual Root, then according to my earlier guess, there is a very likely chance to receive a draw.”
Lu Changsheng let out a long sigh, thinking to himself.
At that moment, he prepared to put on his top garment, looking at the dark, gleaming pattern on his chest, where an indistinct image of a Flood Dragon seemed to come and go, and he nodded in satisfaction.
“It looks much better now.”
In his view, this pattern was so much more attractive than the previous one from the Magical Treasure shard, which looked like a black birthmark.
“There’s only a bit of spiritual essence left in this shard, which makes it unnecessary to integrate it elsewhere,” Lu Changsheng remarked as he looked at the shard in his hand.
This shard had been in his body for nearly a year already, helping him in his cultivation.
Most of the spiritual essence inside was consumed.
Otherwise, he could have integrated the shard into a hand or foot bone to assist his cultivation.
Seeing that it was getting late, Lu Changsheng got up to tidy up and left the Spiritual Talisman Shop to head home.
