Dear Lingshi

Lu Yunsheng heard from the woman's words that she was not here for a marriage appointment, so he asked, "Then why did Miss Bai come here today?"

"I...I couldn't stay in Xianyou City any longer. A few days ago, a playboy from Xianyou City who my Bai family couldn't afford to offend came to propose marriage and asked me to be his concubine. How could I agree? In order not to embarrass my father, I ran away quietly. I didn't know where to go by myself. Finally, I remembered that I had a fiancé in Tieshan City who I had never met, so I came to take a look out of curiosity."

When Xuan Er heard this, he regretted it and cried out, "What a loss! It turns out that you are my brother's wife. If I had known earlier, I would have bet with you on spirit stones. It would have been more cost-effective."

When the woman heard this, she said hurriedly, "Who said I want to marry him? If he is a man who does not know how to make progress and does evil, I will turn around and leave."

Uncle Hu smiled when he heard this: "Miss Bai, don't worry. My young master is definitely not that kind of person. It's getting late, everyone should go to bed early."

In fact, what the few people didn’t know was that Bai Yushu had come to Tieshan City half a month ago and had been secretly observing Duobao Pavilion all these days, otherwise he would not have shown up at all.

Today, Bai Yushu suddenly showed up and deliberately made things difficult for me, which could be considered a test.

Since there were no extra rooms in the attic on the second floor of Duobao Pavilion, Lu Yunsheng had to be invited to move into the utility room where Xuan'er lived, while Xuan'er and Bai Yushu moved into Lu Yunsheng's former room.

Lu Yunsheng sat cross-legged on the bed in the utility room, thinking about what Bai Yushu had just said, feeling sad. You said so much, but you haven't asked for my opinion yet.

Then he smiled foolishly again and said, it would be okay if Bai Yushu could be my wife.

The next morning, Lu Yunsheng went down to the hall early and started cleaning. Not long after, Bai Yushu and Xuan'er came down talking and laughing.

Seeing this scene, Lu Yunsheng thought, these two people were at loggerheads with each other yesterday, how come they became so close in just one night?

Bai Yushu saw Lu Yunsheng coming over and said, "Manager Lu, I can't work for you for free. Since our two families are old friends, I won't ask for much. How about you give me 30 low-grade spirit stones a day?"

Lu Yunsheng smiled when he heard this and said, "Why is it 30 yuan? You have to give me a reason. I can't support you for nothing, my lady."

"Hmph! If you keep yelling, I'll pull your tongue out."

Bai Yushu frowned, and the unique powerful aura of a Foundation Establishment cultivator emanated from him again, scaring Lu Yunsheng into shutting up immediately.

"To tell you the truth, I am a second-level talisman maker."

Lu Yunsheng was shocked when he heard this. Talisman makers are very popular in Tieshan City, and second-level talisman makers are extremely rare. They are usually guests of honor in large workshops.

You have to know that the Iron Mountain City Guards used an astronomical amount of talismans and elixirs to resist the invasion of monsters. Not to mention the consumption of the monster hunting teams composed of these casual cultivators who usually enter Nanshan to hunt monsters. This is incalculable.

When Lu Yunsheng heard that Bai Yushu was a second-level talisman maker, he immediately agreed to pay him a daily salary of 30 low-grade spirit stones.

And Lu Yunsheng immediately thought that with Bai Yushu here, his Duobao Pavilion could also start selling second-level goods.

Lu Yunsheng did what he said. He dropped the work in his hands and went out to buy spiritual materials.

"Wait a minute, what are you in such a hurry for?"

Bai Yushu saw Lu Yunsheng going out and hurriedly called him to stop.

Hearing this, Lu Yunsheng stopped walking, turned around and said, "I...I'll go buy some spiritual materials and let you make the talisman!"

Bai Yushu said helplessly: "Then do you know what kind of spiritual materials to buy?"

"To make a second-level talisman, isn't it just the skin and blood of a second-level monster?" Lu Yunsheng replied.

Bai Yushu looked even more helpless when she heard Lu Yunsheng's words, so she could only say, "I have earth-type spiritual roots, so I can only make earth-type talismans. The spiritual materials you buy should also be earth-type, so that I can make them."

"Okay, I get it now."

Only after hearing Bai Yushuo's explanation did Lu Yunsheng realize that there were such requirements for making talismans. He responded twice and quickly rushed to Ruyi Hall.

Not long after, Lu Yunsheng bought back a second-level monster skin and a can of second-level beast blood, both of which were collected from the corpse of an earth-type monster in the Foundation Establishment Period.

These two kinds of second-level spiritual materials cost Lu Yunsheng a full 300 low-grade spirit stones.

The power of a second-level monster is very powerful and cannot be compared with that of a first-level monster, so the price of its corpse is naturally much higher.

Bai Yushu looked at the spiritual materials Lu Yunsheng bought and said with a smile, "Shopkeeper Lu is really pragmatic. Let me tell you in advance that my success rate in making talismans is about 25%. I can make about 20 finished second-level talismans from this animal skin. During this period, I need to recover my true essence, which will require about low-grade spiritual stones. You, Shopkeeper Lu, have to take care of these for me."

After hearing this, Lu Yunsheng did some calculations in his mind and said with a smile, "Okay, thank you, Master Bai."

Bai Yushu got a response and went up to the attic with the animal skin and a can of blood.

The market price of a second-level talisman is about 20 low-grade spirit stones, and 25 talismans are 500 low-grade spirit stones. Excluding the 300 spirit stones for materials, the 30-yuan salary, and the 20 spirit stones that Bai Yushu needs to restore his true energy, he can still earn 150 low-grade spirit stones.

By noon, Bai Yushu had completed making all the second-level talismans and placed 26 second-level falling rock talismans in front of Lu Yunsheng.

"Fortunately, we have fulfilled our mission and exceeded our targets."

Bai Yushu said a little tiredly.

Seeing this, Lu Yunsheng said to Xuan'er, "Xuan'er, why don't you bring the tea to Master Bai?"

"Yes, pinch his arm and pat his back again. Xuan'er is really sensible."

Bai Yushu was indeed tired. He drank the tea brought by Xuan'er in one gulp, looked at Lu Yunsheng weakly and said, "You have to pay me more for the extra talisman."

"He's a money-grubber."

Lu Yunsheng thought so in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it out loud. But when the words came to his lips, they became: "Okay, this is what Master Bai deserves."

"Brother, I give Sister Yushu a back massage, so you have to give me extra money."

OK! Another money-grubber.

"Okay, one spirit stone at a time."

When Xuan'er heard that Lu Yunsheng actually agreed, she said happily, "Brother, that's so nice. I'll give you a massage later."

"No! I'm not tired."

As Lu Yunsheng spoke, he moved a few steps away, trying to stay away from the two money-grubbers.

If he continued chatting like this, sooner or later all the money he had would be swindled away.

"Where's Uncle Hu? Why don't I see him coming down?"

Lu Yunsheng asked while standing at the door of the store.

Hearing this, Xuan'er said, "Uncle Hu went out early in the morning, and I don't know where he went."

Just then, Lu Yunsheng saw Uncle Hu walking towards Duobao Pavilion holding two big red lanterns.

Lu Yunsheng quickly walked forward and took the lantern from Uncle Hu's hand, and asked, "Uncle Hu, why did you buy this thing? Isn't the lantern at our door still in good condition?"
