In the study.

Lu Changsheng turned the last piece of talisman paper into a First Grade, Middle Grade talisman.

He still found it somewhat difficult to draw First Grade, Middle Grade talismans.

It wasn’t a problem of skill.

Talisman making was very consuming of spiritual power and mental spirit.

If it weren’t for his Second Grade Talisman Master skills, with his Third Level Qi Refinement cultivation level, it would simply be impossible to draw a First Grade, Middle Grade talisman.

After resting for a moment, he picked up the talisman and then opened a nearby locked cabinet.

Inside the cabinet, neatly stacked, was a thick pile of talismans, amounting to hundreds.

It had been almost half a year since he won the talisman-making skill from the lottery.

And these talismans were the fruits of his labor over the past half year.

“Sigh, so many talismans, yet there’s no way to sell them for money.”

As Lu Changsheng looked at these talismans, he couldn’t help but shake his head and sigh.

Having bought twenty bundles of talisman paper, apart from the few he tried with his crafty hands, attempting several more difficult First Grade, Middle Grade talismans and failing due to insufficient spiritual power, all others were successfully made into talismans.

To say he had a one hundred percent success rate in making talismans wasn’t an overstatement at all.

But Lu Changsheng didn’t dare sell a single one of these First Grade talismans; he could only let them gather dust here.

After all, last time he had only taken five Basic Cleansing Talismans to the Hundred Treasures Pavilion and that made the shopkeeper show a look of astonishment.

If he were to take out First Grade talismans, he feared it would directly alarm the higher-ups of the Lu Family.

As for secretly selling them somewhere else, that wasn’t realistic either.

Not to mention that he would have to apply to the Lu Family to leave Qingzhu Mountain.

The idea of him going out alone to sell things in the marketplace of an immortal town made Lu Changsheng himself feel somewhat afraid.

In this cultivation world, there was nothing like laws.

What if he encountered robber cultivators who might rob and murder him?

After all, he was only a Qi Refinement Third Level weakling who had not learned any spells.

He was just a bit more agile and nimble than ordinary people and could only rely on talismans for protection.

“No need to rush, take it slowly.”

Lu Changsheng took a deep breath and told himself that one must never be too hasty in matters, as prudence was the best policy.

He then picked up the nine Cleaning Talismans, six Garment Purification Talismans, and three Dust Avoidance Talismans he had drawn earlier and headed towards the Hundred Treasures Pavilion.

He intended to exchange these eighteen Basic Talismans for spirit stones.

At the same time, it was also to showcase his talent in talisman making once again.

“Shopkeeper, could you please exchange these talismans for spirit stones?”

Upon arriving at the Hundred Treasures Pavilion, Lu Changsheng called to the shopkeeper and placed the eighteen Basic Talismans on the counter.

“Hiss, you’ve managed to make eighteen talismans this time?”

“And not just the Cleansing Talisman, but also the Garment Purification Talisman and the Dust Avoidance Talisman!”

The shopkeeper picked up the talismans and immediately recognized the other two types, astonished.

“I am now quite confident with the Cleansing Talisman and the Garment Purification Talisman, but the Dust Avoidance Talisman still needs some work,” Lu Changsheng said with a deep sigh, “You were right before, shopkeeper, talisman making is too difficult and costly.”

“At this rate, I don’t know how long it will take before I can draw First Grade talismans and become a Talisman Master.”

Lu Changsheng feigned a sigh of hardship.

Although all three talismans were Basic Talismans, their difficulty varied and increased gradually.

“You’re already doing very well. You indeed have a talent for talisman making, and if you keep it up, you will certainly become a Talisman Master,” the shopkeeper said with a face full of emotion, finding it incredible.

As of now, since Lu Changsheng could draw three kinds of Basic Talismans, he was considered a talisman-making apprentice.

As long as he persisted, he was guaranteed to become a Talisman Master.

He took the talismans and handed over six spirit stones to Lu Changsheng, encouraging him with a “Keep it up.”

“Thank you, shopkeeper.”

Lu Changsheng grabbed the spirit stones and left without buying anything else.

“Aren’t you buying talisman paper this time?”

The shopkeeper was surprised to see Lu Changsheng leave with only the spirit stones.

“The previous talisman brush I had is worn out and can’t be used anymore, so I’m planning to wait a bit until I have more spirit stones to buy a new talisman brush,” Lu Changsheng replied, shaking his head with a bitter expression.

Although the expression was false, the words were true.

The wolf hair talisman brush was said to be usable two hundred times, but really, after one hundred eighty uses, it barely functioned.

The rest depended solely on Lu Changsheng’s Second Rank skills to keep using the damaged brush for talisman making.

With his current income of three spirit stones a month, even if he saved continuously, he couldn’t afford a new talisman brush.

“Unless he sells the vestment robe he’s wearing.”

However, Lu Changsheng had worn this robe for so long and had grown quite fond of it, he didn’t want to sell it.

The shopkeeper also remembered that Lu Changsheng had been using the same talisman brush for a long time as well.

After a brief thought, he said, “Lu Changsheng, what is your success rate now for drawing basic talismans?”

“For the Cleansing Talisman and Garment Purification Talisman, I’m already familiar with them and am seventy to eighty percent confident.”

“For the Dust Avoidance Talisman, it’s about thirty percent, and for the peace charm, I’ve tried a few times but failed each time.”

Lu Changsheng didn’t know why the other party was asking this, but he was certain there was a reason, so he replied after some thought.

The difficulty of the Dust Avoidance Talisman is one level higher than that of the peace charm.

If he were about seventy to eighty percent confident with the peace charm, he could try challenging a Lower Grade Basic Talisman.

“Good,”

The shopkeeper nodded upon hearing this and didn’t say anything further.

Lu Changsheng bowed and turned to leave.

At that moment, a fair-skinned young girl with pretty features, wearing a long green dress, happily approached the Hundred Treasures Pavilion, passing by Lu Changsheng.

The girl glanced indifferently at Lu Changsheng, a look of disdain apparent in her eyes.

Then she walked straight into the Hundred Treasures Pavilion and excitedly called out to the shopkeeper, “Grandpa, I’ve broken through to the Third Level Energy Refinement!”

The shopkeeper’s face immediately lit up with a smile upon hearing this, “You’ve broken through to the Third Level Energy Refinement! Very good, whatever reward you want, grandpa will give it to you.”

“Grandpa, I want a Flying Sword!”

The girl immediately made her request.

“No problem, at the Third Level Energy Refinement you’re able to wield a magic artifact, grandpa has already prepared it for you,” said the shopkeeper delightedly, as he led the girl to fetch the Flying Sword.

“Thank you, Grandpa!”

The girl said cheerfully.

She casually asked, “Grandpa, what was that brat doing just now? I saw he didn’t buy anything and he chatted with you for quite a while.”

“Heh, he’s practicing talisman-making and brings some basic talismans here to sell,” the shopkeeper replied.

“Talisman-making? That social-climbing son-in-law dares to practice talisman-making,” the girl scoffed upon hearing this.

Most of the Lu Family disciples from Qingzhu Villa looked down on Lu Changsheng and other outsiders like him, and she was no exception.

Especially given Lu Changsheng’s reputation for continually taking wives and concubines, it made her feel disdainful.

Now hearing that he was actually practicing talisman-making, she naturally disdained it even more.

“Yue’er, what has grandpa always taught you!” the shopkeeper said sternly, looking at his granddaughter, “Although Lu Changsheng is a son-in-law who married into our family and came from another clan, he has been diligent and practical over the past year and has done right by our Lu Family. If your words spread, it would make our Lu Family appear petty and intolerant.”

“Moreover, this Lu Changsheng is quite extraordinary; he has a talent in talisman-making and is already an apprentice. As long as he persists, he will surely become a Talisman Master in the future!”

“So, such talk is forbidden from now on, and when you meet him in the future, try to get along well. Once he truly becomes a Talisman Master, it will be beneficial to you as well!” the shopkeeper instructed.

“Really?”

“That upstart… Lu Changsheng, is an apprentice in talisman-making? He could become a Talisman Master?” the girl exclaimed in disbelief after hearing her grandfather’s words.

It should be known that there were only two First Grade Talisman Masters in the Lu Family.

One was the Fourth Elder and the other was the eldest daughter.

But now, her grandfather was saying that an in-law, a nobody, could actually become a Talisman Master.

This was something she found hard to believe.

“Of course it’s true, why would grandpa lie to you?” said the shopkeeper as he affectionately ruffled his granddaughter’s hair bun.

“Why him, and besides, as an in-law, where would he get the money to buy materials to practice talisman-making?” the girl still couldn’t believe it and grumbled unhappily.

She had attempted talisman-making before but discovered she had no talent for it.

Now, hearing from her grandfather that a social-climbing in-law actually possessed such a talent, she felt outdone and quite irked, as it was a blow to her pride.

“A Spiritual Root doesn’t define everything. Some people just have a natural gift in certain areas, and that’s something nobody can predict,”

“Now, when you meet him in the future, you don’t have to flatter him, just be a bit more polite,” the shopkeeper taught and comforted his granddaughter.

As he spoke, he took out a Lower Grade Magical Instrument Flying Sword from the cabinet and handed it to the girl.
