Chapter 366 - 162: Marketplace Mayhem, Four Robber Cultivators Emerge!_2
"For such a trifle, Xi Yue isn’t concerned at all, Lu Lang need not be like this,"
Upon hearing these words, Xiao Xiyue immediately blossomed into a smile like a young girl and said.
She was not one to fuss over minute details.
Especially since cultivating the Supreme Forgetful Love Technique, her emotions were mostly undisturbed by external matters; such trifling issues didn’t linger in her heart.
But Lu Changsheng’s words still stirred a trace of sweetness in her heart.
"Alright,"
Lu Changsheng agreed with a smile and nodded his head.
After chatting for a bit, the two of them changed their appearance and left, returning to their cave dwelling area with different identities.
Now that the auction had ended, there was no need to maintain their Foundation Establishment false identities.
Otherwise, two Foundation Establishment Cultivators with undisclosed backgrounds living in the marketplace would make the four great families uneasy and vigilant.
Upon returning to the cave dwelling area, Lu Changsheng found it to be much more crowded.
It turned out that someone was preparing to attempt Foundation Establishment, drawing many spectators.
Moreover, the Red Leaf Valley Market had introduced a new policy.
As long as certain conditions were met in the Red Leaf Market, the market would provide a dwelling for attempting Foundation Establishment.
"To quickly increase the foot traffic in the Red Leaf Valley Market, the four great families have really put a lot of effort into it,"
"But making such a move must also come with its share of risks,"
Lu Changsheng said softly as he shook his head upon seeing the announcement.
Generally, only large marketplaces and Immortal Cities provided resources for attempting Foundation Establishment.
Red Leaf Valley only had a Second Rank Middle Grade Spirit Vein, which wasn’t expansive, making it only a medium-sized marketplace.
Just maintaining the internal Spiritual Energy of the marketplace and the operation of the Great Formation was already quite a task.
If someone were to make a breakthrough to Foundation Establishment, extensively drawing upon nature’s Spiritual Energy would undoubtedly affect the operation of the Great Formation.
If they encountered an enemy attack during this time, it could render the Great Formation unable to operate at full capacity.
However, to develop the marketplace at its initial stage, advantages had to be extended as much as possible to attract people to settle and spend.
Moreover, the four great families dared to implement this policy because their own families were not far from the Red Leaf Valley Market.
Should any chaos ensue, they could arrive posthaste to suppress it.
...
In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.
At the Lu Family’s Spiritual Talisman Shop, on the third floor.
"Sister Miaoge, this step involves transitioning the flow, so you must control the Spiritual Power gently, like a trickling stream..."
On this day, Lu Changsheng was guiding Lu Miaoge in Talisman-Making.
In the past, he and Lu Miaoge exchanged insights on the Talisman Path, or he would give her subtle pointers.
Now, having broken through to Foundation Establishment and considered the foremost in the Lu Family’s Talisman Path, he was more inclined to show off his knowledge and directly guide her.
After all, she was his wife-to-be.
And by teaching and guiding her more, Lu Miaoge could also advance to Second Grade Talisman Master in the shortest time possible.
"Come, let me guide you in drawing it once,"
After the instruction, Lu Changsheng held Lu Miaoge’s smooth and delicate hand, providing hands-on teaching and guiding her in drawing the Talisman.
Thus, after half an hour, the Talisman was successfully drawn.
"Changsheng, with your Talisman-Making Skill, it probably won’t take long before you can successfully draw Second Rank Talismans and become a Second Grade Talisman Master, right?"
As the Talisman was successfully drawn, Lu Miaoge looked at Lu Changsheng with soft, gentle eyes, brimming with beauty, and spoke.
As a Talisman Master, through such intimate teaching, she could clearly feel how exquisite Lu Changsheng’s level of Talisman-Making was.
Even if Lu Changsheng claimed to be a Second Grade Talisman Master, she would believe it.
Because both were Top-Level First Grade Talisman Masters, yet she felt as if she and Lu Changsheng were worlds apart.
"I estimate it’ll be another year or two,"
Lu Changsheng said with a smile.
Regarding this matter, he had always had a clear understanding.
He planned to reveal himself as a Second Grade Talisman Master in about a year and a half.
Ever since he announced his advancement to the Seventh Level Energy Refinement, he had begun to exchange for Second Rank Talisman-Making materials at the Lu Family, signaling to others that he was attempting to draw Second Rank Talismans.
"Two years,"
Lu Miaoge said on hearing this, her eyes filled with joy.
After so many years of companionship and as husband and wife, she naturally knew that if Lu Changsheng said so, it meant he was confident.
Within two years, he would surely become a Second Grade Talisman Master.
This filled her with immense happiness.
As a wife, who wouldn’t want her husband to be powerful and accomplished?
A Second Grade Talisman Master might not be comparable to a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator, but Foundation Establishment Cultivators would still have to show respect to a Second Grade Talisman Master.
Moreover, Lu Changsheng was only in his thirties.
Becoming a Second Grade Talisman Master at his age indicated a boundless future on the Talisman Path.
If he were willing to work for some major power and connect with Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators, he might even obtain a Foundation Establishment Elixir and attempt Foundation Establishment himself.
Lu Changsheng saw Lu Miaoge beaming with happiness as she looked at him.
In her soft, water-like beautiful eyes, there was not only the affection and attachment between husband and wife, but also a maternal radiance mingled with a young girl’s adoration and admiration.
This gaze, even with a mere glance, softened one’s heart and caused it to flutter.
There’s nothing more gratifying than liking the features of someone’s face.
"That’s right, at most in two years, your husband will become a Second Grade Talisman Master,"
Lu Changsheng’s own heart fluttered as he saw her gaze.
He remembered how tolerant Lu Miaoge had been over the years, her gentle and intelligent nature in his presence, and her understanding demeanour.
He felt as if having such a wife was all a man could ever wish for.
"Sister Miaoge, you should know that I’ve always concealed my Cultivation Level,"
"In fact, when I previously claimed to have broken through to the Seventh Level Energy Refinement, I had actually reached the Ninth Level."
Knowing that the news of his imminent advancement to Second Grade Talisman Master made Lu Miaoge so happy,
Lu Changsheng simply decided to share more news to make her happy.
