Chapter 154: Chapter 96: It’s Time for the Child to Practice Martial Arts_3 The two women immediately performed a curtsey towards Lu Changsheng. In their eyes that looked towards Lu Changsheng, there was also a hint of fascination. After all, the Lu Changsheng before them was handsome, with a tall and straight figure and a gentle temperament. Dressed in a green robe decorated with bamboo leaves, he gave off a refreshing feeling as though one were basking in the spring breeze. It even elicited a sense of goodwill. One could tell at a glance that this young man was a kindly person, a graceful and suave young master. “Would you two ladies be willing to become my maids?” Lu Changsheng also stood up, with his hands clasped behind his back, and asked with a smile. He noticed the look in the women’s eyes. To such a gaze, he was all too familiar. Under his care, it wouldn’t take long for the life of these two women to thrive again, feeling vibrant and colorful. “This humble girl is willing, Yao’er is willing.” Both women responded immediately. “Alright, Manager Feng, I’m quite satisfied,” Seeing their response, Lu Changsheng chuckled softly and nodded his head. He suddenly thought of the ‘Crying Elder’ who created the Immortal Beauty Technique. If he were to come to a place like White Jade Tower, surely it would be unimaginable to ask whether the other party was willing, right? Afterwards, Lu Changsheng completed the contract with Feng Jiuniang and settled the final payment with Spirit Stones. “Young Master Lu, you’ve spent over a thousand Spirit Stones at our White Jade Tower, and from now on, you will be our member client.” “In the future, if you come to purchase maids, the deposit can be waived, and if you’re not satisfied, there will be no loss incurred.” “Moreover, every so often, our White Jade Tower will also have a selection of high-quality maids available exclusively for our members to choose from.” “If Young Master Lu is interested, I will have someone notify you when the time comes,” At this moment, Feng Jiuniang specifically handed over a White Jade Token to Lu Changsheng, saying so. “Oh?” Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng raised an eyebrow in surprise. He didn’t expect that White Jade Tower had such a membership system. He wasn’t concerned about waiving the deposit. But he was somewhat interested in the high-quality maids exclusive to members. “Speaking of which, if I continue to spend, are there perks like an advanced member or something?” Lu Changsheng took the White Jade Token and examined it closely. One side was engraved with the pattern of the White Jade Tower, and the other had the character ‘Lu,’ probably pre-customized. “Our White Jade Tower does indeed have multiple membership levels, which are there to provide better service for every customer,” Feng Jiuniang replied with a seductive smile. “Okay, if there are high-quality maids available exclusively for members in the future, you can send someone to the Lu Family’s Spiritual Talisman Shop to notify me,” Lu Changsheng pondered for a moment. Originally, he planned to slow down and not come to the White Jade Tower to buy maids for the time being. After all, he already had so many maids by now. If he were to buy more maids, he really would have to move to a bigger place. Moreover, spending too much money at White Jade Tower might arouse suspicion at the Lu Family. Nevertheless, such matters could be learned about just a bit, and it wasn’t necessary to make a purchase right away. If there turned out to be a good selection, he could consider it then. “Very well, no problem~ Take care, Young Master Lu,” Feng Jiuniang smiled charmingly, seeing Lu Changsheng out of the White Jade Tower. “Jiang Louyue, have you practiced martial arts before?” Walking on the road, Lu Changsheng turned to glance at Jiang Louyue beside him, whose eyes and brows carried a hint of martial valor, and inquired. “Reporting to Young Master, Louyue has practiced martial arts since childhood and only embarked on the path of cultivation after coming into contact with a cultivation opportunity,” Jiang Louyue replied respectfully. She quickly adjusted to her new status. With the training she received at White Jade Tower, they could only hope to find a good master. Now that Lu Changsheng appeared to be a good master, it was natural for her to adopt a proper attitude. “How skilled are you in martial arts?” Lu Changsheng continued to inquire. He entertained the idea of teaching martial arts to the children without Spiritual Roots, to create a martial family among the secular world, and this idea had never changed. Now that Lu Ping’an and the others were of age, it was time to start martial training. Initially, he thought of asking Li Feiyu to teach. But he was well aware of Li Feiyu’s situation. To leave the Lu Family and struggle day in and day out for a living, Li Feiyu simply did not have the time. If he asked Li Feiyu, the latter would surely agree. But it would delay Li Feiyu’s time, and Li Feiyu would decline any payment offered. Moreover, with so many children of his own, one or two people would probably be overwhelmed if they had to teach. Therefore, he thought of hiring several people to teach the children martial arts. “According to worldly standards, my martial arts strength is at the stage of an Innate Grandmaster,” Jiang Louyue said. “Mhmm, can you teach the child martial arts?” Lu Changsheng inquired. Having practiced martial arts and teaching others to do so were two different matters. For instance, many of the maids he had purchased from the White Jade Tower knew martial arts. But asking them to teach was another story. “I have never taught before, but I can try,” Jiang Louyue replied. “Alright,” Lu Changsheng nodded. He thought about bringing Jiang Louyue back to Qingzhu Mountain to see if she would suffice. If she really couldn’t do it, he would directly go to the secular world and spend money to hire so-called martial arts masters to teach his child. Money can make the devil turn the millstone. He refused to believe that he couldn’t hire a martial arts instructor from the secular world with the amount of money he was willing to spend. After bringing the two women home, Lu Changsheng instructed Bai He to arrange accommodations for them and explain the situation. By now, the many women in the courtyard had grown accustomed to Lu Changsheng buying maids. Moreover, they couldn’t really say anything about such matters; they had no right to. Six days later. Inside the Spiritual Talisman Shop. Lu Changsheng held a Spiritual Pattern Carving Knife, tracing elegant curves on the chest of a metal humanoid puppet that stood as tall as him. With each cut of the carving knife, a beautiful line was left on the puppet. After a while. “Phew, finally finished,” Lu Changsheng stopped his work and looked at the puppet in front of him, nodding in satisfaction. This was naturally not the Second Rank Puppet he intended to craft. Instead, it was a Middle Grade First Rank Puppet. The materials he had bought previously he worked on whenever he had free time, which is why it had taken until now to complete. Lu Changsheng used the Puppet Control Technique to manipulate the spiritual hub in the chest of the puppet and took control of it. Then with a slight stir of his mental spirit. Instantly, the metal puppet took a step forward. And then a step back. It jumped to the left. It swung left and right, leaping and flipping. Under Lu Changsheng’s control, the seemingly cumbersome metal puppet was incredibly agile. This kind of puppet could perform any action a normal person could. It could even do things beyond the abilities of the average person. Next, Lu Changsheng took out the Green-Face Sword from his storage bag. The sword gleamed with a cold light as it left its sheath and slashed at the puppet. “Clang!” Sparks flew from the impact. But the sword only left a white mark on the chest of the puppet. “Not bad,” Lu Changsheng nodded slightly. Apart from being made of metal materials, he had also engraved robust spiritual patterns and spells on this puppet. It could withstand attacks from Energy Refinement Middle Stage spells and Middle Grade flying swords. And the spiritual hub in the puppet’s chest could store spiritual energy, allowing its arms to release the Fireball Technique and Frost Technique. However, both the Fireball Technique and Frost Technique could be used only three times before the stored spiritual energy was depleted. “The only downside is that a person’s mental strength is limited and can’t control too many puppets at the same time,” “With my current Energy Refinement Late Stage cultivation level, I can only control two or three puppets at most,” Lu Changsheng mused as he looked at the puppet in front of him. First and Second Rank puppets lacked their own consciousness. They had to be manipulated using the Puppet Control Technique. It was akin to maneuvering a magic artifact. But in combat, having to control the artifact, use talismans, and also manage puppets was an enormous burden that made it impossible to unleash full power. “There’s a reason why puppetry is such an unpopular vocation,” Lu Changsheng shook his head and said. He felt that crafting a few puppets would be enough. Too many would be useless; he couldn’t achieve the army of puppets he imagined. “If I break through to Foundation Establishment and give birth to divine sense, then I should be able to control several puppets at once, right?” “And I’ve heard that in the cultivation world, there are also techniques for cultivating divine sense…” Lu Changsheng’s eyes narrowed slightly as he contemplated.
