Chapter 12: The Second Lottery!_1



“It’s fine, I can see that you are already capable of drawing the Dust Avoidance Talisman.”

“When sketching the talisman lines for the Dust Avoidance Talisman, you need to ‘touch’ and ‘place’ gently to express a sense of smoothness. At the end, the brushstroke needs to turn with a bit of a ‘tuck,’ which would enhance your success rate in making the talisman.”

Lu Miaoge spoke to comfort him, her voice soft and gentle like water, calming one’s heart.

Is the young lady a Talisman Master?

Hearing Lu Miaoge’s professional terminology, Lu Changsheng suddenly realized.

No wonder Uncle Fu came with this young lady to assess me.

So this young lady is also a Talisman Master.

Indeed, if she weren’t a Talisman Master, why would she carry a top-notch talisman brush with her all the time?

Just now he was wondering why Lu Miaoge always carried a top-notch talisman brush with her.

Now that I know she’s professional, I’ve got to perform a bit more convincingly.

“May I ask the young lady, what does ‘tuck’ mean?”

Lu Changsheng asked with an eagerness to learn.

“The techniques of talisman making like ‘dot,’ ‘place,’ ‘touch,’ ‘tuck,’ ‘flick,’ ‘slide,’ ‘flash’… Don’t you know them?”

Lu Miaoge asked with her eyebrows slightly furrowed, in a soft voice.

“I’ve only read an introductory book on talismans and a comprehensive guide to basic talismans. I’ve been studying on my own based on the books without learning these specific techniques you mentioned,” Lu Changsheng said, his face showing embarrassment.

Upon hearing these words, Lu Miaoge’s lips pursed lightly, finding herself at a loss for what to say.

Without any guidance, without learning any specific techniques, he managed to practice talisman making to this extent just by reading two basic books on talismans.

This talent…

Even she could not help feeling inferior.

“I have a book here, ‘Essentials of Talismans,’ which has instructions on talisman-making techniques, the use of spiritual power, as well as some insights I’ve annotated. Take it and read it well, and if there’s anything you don’t understand, feel free to ask me.”

Lu Miaoge took out a book from her storage bag and handed it to Lu Changsheng.

“Thank you very much, young lady!”

Lu Changsheng gratefully accepted the kindness and thanked her enthusiastically.

Then he cautiously added, “Young lady, should I redraw another one?”

“No need, you have already passed the assessment.”

Lu Miaoge replied with a demure temperament, putting the talisman brush and spirit ink back into her storage bag, and then called out to Uncle Fu.

“Alright, Lu Changsheng, since you possess this talent for talisman making, starting this month, your monthly resources will be increased to five spirit stones and thirty jin of spirit rice,” Uncle Fu declared.

Then, taking out a set of talisman-making tools from his storage bag, he added, “Also, this set of talisman-making tools is for you.”

“Keep up the hard work, and as long as you can become an Elementary Talisman Master, our Lu Family will definitely not treat you unfairly.”

As he spoke, Uncle Fu affectionately patted Lu Changsheng’s shoulder.

“Yes, thank you, young lady! Thank you, Uncle Fu!”

Lu Changsheng expressed his thanks.

Soon after, Uncle Fu and Lu Miaoge left.

Lu Changsheng immediately saw them out, escorting them to the door.

Watching Lu Miaoge’s retreating figure, dressed in white as snow, Lu Changsheng shook his head slightly.

“Unless necessary, I should avoid contact with this young lady as much as possible.”

As a man, and a lsp, it would be impossible for him to say he had no thoughts about this ethereal and refined young lady.

But.

They say that beauties are trouble.

For such a rare beauty, there must be no shortage of men within and outside the Lu Family who admire and secretly love her.

If I were to approach the young lady under the pretext of seeking talisman advice, who knows whether her admirers would come looking for me to cause trouble.

So, to be cautious and prudent, it’s better not to make contact.

If contact is to be made, it will be when I’ve gained some strength.

Then wouldn’t it be wonderful to explore the Path of Talismans together?

One must endure the common to become an Immortal above Immortals!

This is the motto Lu Changsheng has set for himself.

Meanwhile, Lu Lanshu, Lu Zi’er, Lu Qing’er, and the other ladies, upon seeing Uncle Fu and Lu Miaoge leave, hurried forward to ask Lu Changsheng why Uncle Fu and the young lady had come to visit.

Uncle Fu, being the manager of Qingzhu Villa, holds an extraordinary position.

Moreover, coming here with the young lady Lu Miaoge, it surely wasn’t a trivial matter.

Lu Changsheng didn’t hide anything from his wives and told them the whole story.

The ladies were overjoyed to hear that their husband had been recognized by the Lu Family because of his talent for talisman making.

After all, as Lu Changsheng’s status in the Lu Family rises, as his wives, they too would benefit, their status rising with the tide.

At the same time.

Uncle Fu, after leaving Qingzhu Villa, asked Lu Miaoge, “Young lady, how is Lu Changsheng’s talent for talisman making, and how long do you think it will take him to become a Talisman Master?”

Although he was a Cultivator, his understanding of talisman making was not thorough.

“`

“His talent for talisman-making is very high, even higher than mine…”

Lu Miaoge pressed her lips together and said softly.

“What!”

Uncle Fu showed a surprised expression upon hearing this.

Their young lady, now twenty-four years old, was already a first-grade middle-grade talisman master.

Within twenty years, she could aspire to reach the second rank.

But now she said that Lu Changsheng’s talent in talisman-making was even higher than hers.

Doesn’t that mean that Lu Changsheng’s future achievements in the talisman path could also reach the level of a second-grade talisman master?

This was simply astonishing.

If they knew that Lu Changsheng had already become a second-grade talisman master.

And not just any second-grade talisman master, but a second-tier top level talisman master, one wonders what they would think.

The next day.

The news that Lu Changsheng had become an apprentice in talisman-making quickly spread throughout Qingzhu Villa.

It shocked many of the Lu Family disciples and the other cultivators, who looked upon Lu Changsheng with envy, jealousy, and hatred.

Nobody had thought that such an insignificant son-in-law would possess such an extraordinary talent in talisman-making.

Previously, many cultivators had sneered upon hearing about Lu Changsheng’s involvement in talisman-making, thinking that he was indulging in a fantasy.

But today, numerous cultivators came to congratulate Lu Changsheng at his home.

Each offered him a spirit stone as a congratulatory gift.

Li Feiyu also gave a spirit stone as a congratulatory gift, but afterwards it was returned by Lu Changsheng.

He now had five spirit stones and thirty catties of spirit rice a month.

Whereas Li Feiyu still received two spirit stones and ten catties of spirit rice, so how could he in good conscience accept the money?

As for the spirit stones from other cultivators, he certainly didn’t return those.

Having gained ten spirit stones, he felt very pleased.

He also examined the talisman-making tools Uncle Fu had given him the day before.

A common talisman brush, but a grade better than a wolf-hair talisman brush, probably good for three to five hundred uses.

Thereafter were ten stacks of talisman paper and two boxes of spirit ink, the quality the same as what he had previously purchased.

If converted to spirit stones, they were worth roughly sixty to seventy spirit stones.

This reward, combined with the improved benefits of five spirit stones and thirty catties of spirit rice a month, was a very satisfying haul.

Thinking back to Uncle Fu and the young lady coming over to increase his benefits, Lu Changsheng realized it was the Hundred Treasures Pavilion’s shopkeeper who had helped.

Lu Changsheng made a few basic talismans as gifts and went to thank him in person.

He understood such social graces.

Meanwhile, five days later.

Lu Changsheng’s concubine who was expecting twins gave birth.

They were two boys.

Since he had known early on that they would be twins, Lu Changsheng did not show too much surprise.

Moreover, now the father of four children, Lu Changsheng had grown used to seeing births and no longer felt the initial tension and excitement.

He had become much more composed than before.

However, it was at the birth of the twins that he heard the system’s notification sound, which brought him a surge of excitement.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for the first birth of twin offspring, granting you one lottery draw opportunity!]

“First twin offspring.”

“It seems this system’s achievements are similar to those in some games from my former world.”

“As long as something happens for the first time in certain regards, or a certain number is reached, the system gives out a child money gift.”

Upon hearing the system’s notification, Lu Changsheng felt excited, pondering this to himself.

After looking at his twin boys, Lu Changsheng went to his study and muttered to himself.

“System, I want to do the lottery draw.”

Instantly.

A pale red virtual lottery wheel identical to the last one appeared.

It was divided into seven zones: cultivation technique, skills, pet beasts, elixir medicines, magical treasures, treasures, and others.

“I wonder what I’ll draw this time.”

Lu Changsheng took a deep breath, filled with anticipation.

After all, the second-grade talisman-making skill from before had been a very pleasant surprise.

“Begin the lottery draw.”

With that said.

A streak of golden light began to spin on the pale red wheel.

Under Lu Changsheng’s hopeful gaze, the golden light slowly came to a halt, finally resting on the cultivation technique sector.
