Starting as a Son-in-law to Establish an immortal Family

Chapter 178: Chapter 104: The Overbearing Lockheart Gu!_2

The next day, Lu Changsheng arrived at the Ink Cloud Pavilion.

It was a shop where he often purchased books.

The shop mainly sold Cultivation Techniques and Spells.

As well as things related to the Cultivation World, such as records of marvels, local customs, and societal conditions.

Lu Changsheng asked the shopkeeper for a few tomes about Gu insects.

“Lu Dongjia, the price will be nine Spirit Stones,”

said the bookstore shopkeeper as he handed three tomes to Lu Changsheng.

Lu Changsheng didn’t bargain.

In the Cultivation World, there was a significant monopoly on knowledge, so the price of books had always been quite high.

And these were just ordinary books.

For Spells and Cultivation Techniques, prices started from several tens of Spirit Stones and could go up to several hundreds.

He had previously inquired about the value of a Second Transformation inheritance of the Hundred Arts of Cultivation.

The other party indicated that it depended on which art it was.

And a Second Transformation inheritance could vary in quality; it would be appraised based on the situation.

Through several casual conversations, Lu Changsheng had estimated the value of the Second Transformation Beast Taming inheritance he had initially obtained.

That inheritance could sell for at least a thousand Spirit Stones.

However, selling it would require signing a contract and swearing an oath to the Heart Demon, agreeing not to sell or leak any relevant information again.

So, as he was not particularly short on money at the moment, Lu Changsheng had not sold the Second Transformation Beast Taming inheritance.

After storing the three books, Lu Changsheng returned to the Spiritual Talisman Shop and began reading.

After spending a morning, Lu Changsheng finished reading the three books.

“It seems the bloody Gu insect is rarer and more unusual than I imagined,”

Lu Changsheng set down the book in his hands and exhaled lightly.

The three books introduced a lot of information and knowledge about Gu insects.

They also covered many common ones.

But he did not find any information related to that bloody Gu.

“This is also within my expectations; that bloody Gu is obviously not an ordinary one,”

“Most of the Gu insects introduced in these three books are either mortal or spiritual Gu.”

“The bloody Gu is most likely a Mysterious Spirit Gu, or even an Earth Spirit Gu,”

Lu Changsheng thought to himself.

As for a Heavenly Spirit Gu, he deemed it unlikely.

Because his own Peach Blossom Gu was a Heavenly Spirit Gu.

If that bloody Gu were a Heavenly Spirit Gu, there would not be incidents of the Gu insect rebelling against its master.

From browsing the books, he learned that Gu insects rebelling is a rare event.

It only occurs when there is a difference of a full rank between the Gu insects, and there is a certain disparity in strength.

Although his Peach Blossom Gu was a Heavenly Spirit Gu, its strength was not very impressive.

It was currently only at the peak of the First Transformation.

Only when its master, himself, broke through the Foundation Establishment stage could it break through to the Second Transformation.

So, Lu Changsheng guessed that the bloody Gu was at most an Earth Spirit Gu.

Thinking this, Lu Changsheng took the Gu jar out of the Spiritual Pet Bag.

He opened the jar lid to check on the bloody Gu insect.

It still looked listless.

“Will this thing starve to death if it’s kept like this?”

Lu Changsheng looked at the half-dead appearance of the bloody Gu insect and frowned slightly.

After all, Gu insects needed to eat.

The Peach Blossom Gu was quite special.

It lived on the fortunes of peach blossoms.

It didn’t need him to feed it normally.

But he did not know what the bloody Gu insect ate.

It would be rather embarrassing if it starved to death.

After some thought, Lu Changsheng tried the most straightforward method.

He took out a variety of Spirit Food and Spiritual Objects from the Storage Bag, putting them into the Gu jar to see if it would eat anything.

After several attempts, Lu Changsheng saw that a so-called ‘Blood Spirit Nectar’ caught the bloody Gu insect’s interest, and it began to lick it.

“Good,”

Seeing the bloody Gu insect eating, Lu Changsheng immediately felt relieved.

He let it eat a drop and then stored the Blood Spirit Nectar away.

He planned to drop one or two drops every few days.

Keeping it in this barely alive, listless state was enough.

If it got too healthy and escaped, what would he do then?

In the blink of an eye, over half a month passed.

One day, Lu Changsheng received a notification from White Jade Tower.

They reported that a batch of Maids for members had arrived and asked if Lu Changsheng was interested.

If he was, he could go and learn more about it.

Hearing this, Lu Changsheng immediately went to White Jade Tower.

He wanted to see what these so-called member-exclusive Maids were like.

But after learning about them and seeing them, Lu Changsheng promptly bid farewell to Feng Jiuniang.

These Maids were indeed excellent.

Both in looks and figure, they were the best of the best.

Not only did they possess Spiritual Root aptitudes,

but they also cultivated some form of furnace Dual Cultivation Technique, beneficial for cultivation, and even for breaking through realms.

But the price was too expensive.

Even the cheapest one started at a thousand Spirit Stones.

Casually, it amounted to several thousand Spirit Stones.

Faced with such prices, Lu Changsheng naturally could only take his leave.

“Sigh, I really am too poor,”

“White Jade Tower is definitely not a place I can afford to patronize at my current stage,”

Lu Changshsheng couldn’t help but shake his head as he left White Jade Tower.

He could afford regular Maids at White Jade Tower,

but those with Spiritual Roots at a certain level were beyond his means without an unexpected windfall; his regular income couldn’t support such an expenditure.

“However, I’m pretty much set for now with wives and Maids; there’s no need to buy more at the moment,”

“I’ve already spent quite a sum on wives and Maids,”

“There are significant daily expenses there as well,”

“If I keep spending money there, it would even affect my own living,”

“Besides, I plan to return to Qingzhu Mountain soon, so there’s really no need to add more Maids,”

“The residences in Nine Dragons Market are already close to capacity,”

Lu Changsheng walked along the street, thinking to himself.

He had come here this time just to see for himself.

If there were suitable, affordable Maids, he might have considered adding one or two.
