Chapter 264: Chapter 130: Uncle Returned!_2 After all, Red Leaf Valley Market just opened, and it’s a great time to seize market share. Now that the kids are getting older, in a few years they will start cultivation one after another. And then the expenses will increase significantly. If we have a talisman shop, that would mean another stable source of income. “Open a Spiritual Talisman Shop?” Lu Miaoge paused slightly when she heard this, then nodded and said, “That’s doable. With your talisman-making skill, you’re already capable of opening your own shop.” “However, about this matter, you need to give Fourth Grandma a heads-up.” Not long ago, Lu Changsheng had taken his talisman skills up a notch, demonstrating the prowess of a First Grade top-level Talisman Master. With such a level of skill, coupled with the Lu Family’s supply channels, sustaining a talisman shop should be no issue. “I’ve already mentioned this to Grandma and plan to talk to her about it more later.” “Alright, Second Elder is still waiting for me. Sister Miaoge, I’ll head over now,” Lu Changsheng said. He didn’t linger to talk more with Lu Miaoge. After kissing his daughter and wife on their cheeks, he waved his hand and took off. Arriving at the entrance of Qingzhu Mountain, he boarded the Second Elder’s Spirit Boat and set off for Nine Dragons Market. Two days later. Lu Changsheng returned to Nine Dragons Market. As soon as he arrived home, Xia Zhiyue joyfully brought him good news. “Husband, I think I’m pregnant.” Two months ago, she had broken through from the Third Level Qi Refinement to the Fourth Level. After Xia Zhiyue reached the Fourth Level Qi Refinement and expressed her willingness, Lu Changsheng didn’t practice contraception anymore. But whether it was bad luck or due to her Spirit Nurturing Physique, it took so long for Xia Zhiyue to conceive. “You’re pregnant, let me see?” Lu Changsheng smiled when he heard the news, placing his head against Xia Zhiyue’s lower abdomen. He immediately confirmed that she was indeed pregnant. “Zhiyue, you should rest and take good care of yourself at home from now on.” Lu Changsheng gently stroked her smooth black hair and spoke softly. Even though Xia Zhiyue only had a Seventh Grade Spiritual Root, her Spirit Nurturing Physique made him quite expectant of their child. He could feel his own Spiritual Root was almost at the juncture between Sixth and Fifth Grade. Having another child with a Sixth Grade Spiritual Root should promote his own from Sixth to Fifth Grade. If they were to have a child with a Fourth Grade Spiritual Root like Xia Zhaoyang, that would be a direct leap to success. “Yes, of course,” Xia Zhiyue nodded obediently. Thinking about the plan to open a Spiritual Talisman Shop in Red Leaf Valley Market. Lu Changsheng went next door to Gao He’s house and knocked on the door. “Uncle Lu.” The door was opened by a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl with a delicate visage, dressed in a moon-white embroidered garment. It was Gao He’s daughter, Gao Xiaoya. The former little lolita had grown into an elegant young lady. “Xiaoya, is your dad at home?” Lu Changsheng asked. “He’s not, Uncle Lu. Is there something you need from my father?” Gao Xiaoya asked, tilting her head. “It’s nothing urgent. Let him know when he gets back that I have something to discuss with him,” Lu Changsheng said with a smile. “Alright, Uncle Lu. Won’t you come in for a cup of tea?” Gao Xiaoya asked politely. “No, I have other matters to attend to,” Lu Changsheng declined and waved his hand. Gao He only returned home after nightfall. As soon as he got home, he came to inquire about Lu Changsheng’s business. “Brother Gao, you must have heard of Red Leaf Valley Market, haven’t you?” Lu Changsheng asked. “Of course, it’s the marketplace established by your Lu Family of Qingzhu Mountain, the Yu Family from Bi Lake Mountain, the Wugong Ridge Zheng Family, and the Hundred Birds Lake Bai Family,” Gao He responded, nodding his head. As a Talisman Master, he also had his own information channels. Therefore, he was aware of the annihilation of Red Leaf Valley and the subsequent transformation into a marketplace by the four major families. “I am planning to open a talisman shop in Red Leaf Valley Market and wanted to ask if you’re interested in coming over as the resident Talisman Master,” Lu Changsheng got straight to the point. Although he intended to open a Spiritual Talisman Shop in Red Leaf Valley, having managed a talisman shop in Nine Dragons Market for so many years, he knew that it was difficult to run a shop alone. Especially in the initial stages, there are many tasks that require attention. He alone would definitely be overwhelmed. So, he would undoubtedly need to hire help. Having known Gao He for many years, Lu Changsheng was aware that aside from his occasional indulgences in pleasures, his character was reliable. A reliable person indeed. So Lu Changsheng thought of hiring Gao He to manage the shop for him. “The position of the resident Talisman Master?” Gao He heard this and didn’t immediately answer, showing a contemplative expression. He was content with living a stable life. With no ambitious aspirations, he only wished to raise his daughter well and live out his life in peace. Currently a resident Talisman Master at a Spiritual Talisman Shop in Nine Dragons Market, his life was very stable. Heading to Red Leaf Valley Market would surely be less secure than here. “If you are willing, Brother Gao, you only need to manage the shop, create some talismans, and occasionally mentor apprentices. I will mostly stay out of the shop’s affairs,” “In terms of salary, it will be increased by fifty percent based on your current rate, and additionally, in Red Leaf Valley Market, I have a Second-Order Cave Mansion with a Spirit Vein, which I can rent to you at a base price.” “This will also greatly improve your and Xiaoya’s cultivation,” Lu Changsheng continued. Since he was looking to recruit someone, he had to offer a price that was enticing enough; otherwise, why would someone agree to work for him? “With you putting it this way, Brother Lu, I don’t have any reason to refuse,” Gao He said with a beaming smile that made his face even more prosperous. Just the fifty percent increase in salary was tempting to him. Adding on the Second-Order Cave Mansion, he had no reason to refuse at all. For ordinary Loose Cultivators, aside from joining a force, they generally had no means of securing a Second-Order Mansion.
