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

Chapter 688: Chapter 259: The Six-Winged Golden Silkworm Advances, Father May Do As He Pleases!_2

Lu Xianzhi saw his own father in deep thought and roughly understood his father’s ideas, breaking the silence and saying,

In his view, a profit of twenty Spirit Stones for a puppet was already quite satisfactory.

Currently, the workshop’s three production lines could produce about eight to ten puppets a month.

That amounted to about one to two hundred Spirit Stones, and over a year, that would be more than two thousand Spirit Stones.

Moreover, this income could gradually increase.

“Alright, let’s proceed with your idea in this matter,”

...
Lu Changsheng said with a light chuckle upon hearing this.

He also understood that these matters should not be measured by his own standards of consumption.

An annual yield of two thousand Spirit Stones was already very decent for a Foundation Establishment family.

Especially since the Puppet Workshop was still in its initial stages.

Once the reputation and credibility were established, the income would naturally increase.

He patted his son on the shoulder and said, “If you have any problems, go discuss them with your aunts, Ping’an, and Quanzhen.”

“As for opening a puppet store in the Red Leaf Marketplace, that’s fine too. You can choose two knowledgeable apprentices to manage it,”

Lu Changsheng said as such.

After finishing his words, he added, “Right, Xianzhi, remember to brand all the puppets with the name ‘Blue Lake Mountain Lu Family.’

Puppets are inherently replicable.

These three puppets were designed based on the current market for puppets in the Cultivation World.

If puppet masters from other families see that our puppets are good, they might replicate and produce them.

Therefore, it was time to consider the effect of branding.

Just like the Red Blood Carp from Blue Lake Mountain, the paper talismans from Qingzhu Mountain, the Centipede Wine from Wugong Ridge, and the spiritual birds from Hundred Birds Lake, they all had a certain level of reputation.

“Yes, Father!”

Upon hearing these words, Lu Xianzhi’s face immediately showed joy, and he responded with a bow.

He knew that with his Ninth Grade Spiritual Root, his talent was not great and he had no hope of a significant achievement in life, let alone reaching Foundation Establishment.

Therefore, he spent most of his time and effort on puppets, hoping to achieve something in other areas.

In the past two years, he focused entirely on the workshop, aiming to turn a profit as soon as possible.

Now, with Lu Changsheng finally agreeing to mass produce puppets and enter the market, his excitement was beyond measure.

After inspecting the Puppet Workshop, Lu Changsheng went to check on his family’s Talisman Workshop and Wine Brewing Workshop.

There were no changes in the Talisman Workshop.

Earning two to three hundred Spirit Stones a year by subcontracting for Qingzhu Mountain, it was merely for amusement.

The Wine Brewing Workshop, however, was doing quite well.

It could steadily produce ‘White Jade Wine’ and ‘Spiritual Mulberry Wine,’ and was starting to make a profit gradually.

After the Bi Water Rice harvest, Lu Changsheng had also spent some time using it as the main ingredient to create a wine called ‘Blue Lake Wine.’

It had the effect of nourishing the body and enhancing water-based cultivation techniques.

However, the effects were not satisfactory when mass-produced by the workshop.

And since the supply of Bi Water Rice was limited in their family, Lu Changsheng dismissed the idea of mass production.

Having spent a lot of time on research, Lu Changsheng used Red Blood Carp as the main ingredient to create ‘Blue Carp Wine,’ which he was currently ready to put on the market to see how it would fare.

“Hmm?”

Just then, Lu Changsheng felt a restless aura coming from his Spiritual Pet Bag.

With a slight sense, joy immediately showed in his eyes.

He quickly excused himself to his son, Lu Quanzhen, and his nephew, Hong Xuanji, and turned into a streak of light returning to Changsheng Hall.

Arriving at his cave abode, Lu Changsheng opened the Spiritual Pet Bag.

A two-inch-long, thin-winged golden silkworm made its appearance.

It was bathed in golden light, emanating a brutal and bloodthirsty aura.

Looking at the Six-Winged Golden Silkworm in front of him, he took out two gourds from his Storage Bag.

Both were filled with Spiritual Blood. He took out a white jade bowl and poured out the Spiritual Blood into it.

Then he said to the Six-Winged Golden Silkworm, “Begin!”

Fourteen years had passed, and the Six-Winged Golden Silkworm was finally ready to advance from the larval stage to the adolescent stage under his care.

From First Grade to Second Grade!

Although it was still far from maturing and developing a second pair of wings,

Lu Changsheng felt it was already quite an achievement.

After all, this was the first Second Grade Spiritual Pet he was raising by himself.

Just like his first Pet Beast, the Nine Netherhound, which was still in the late stages of the First Grade.

“Sssss—”

Upon hearing Lu Changsheng’s words, the Six-Winged Golden Silkworm quickly began devouring the Spiritual Blood within the white jade bowl.

“Boom!”

Simultaneously, a brutal and ferocious aura surged through the body of the Six-Winged Golden Silkworm as it absorbed nature’s spiritual energy.

However, the ascension of creatures from the Demon Race typically relies on their physical bodies and bloodlines, which means they do not have a significant need for nature’s spiritual energy.

Watching the Six-Winged Golden Silkworm swiftly finish off the Spiritual Blood in the jade bowl, Lu Changsheng wasn’t stingy, continuing to pour out the Spiritual Blood from the gourd to let it feed to its fill.

In this way, time slowly passed.

An hour later, the aura of the Six-Winged Golden Silkworm suddenly surged, its body shining with a splendid golden light.

Lu Changsheng calmly watched as the Six-Winged Golden Silkworm continued to devour Spiritual Blood, so he kept pouring from the gourd.

It was fortunate he considered it a hassle and had directly purchased six gourds of demon beast blood in the past.

Otherwise, he would have been unprepared for the Six-Winged Golden Silkworm’s sudden promotion.

As the aura of the Six-Winged Golden Silkworm continued to surge, a golden cocoon gradually formed around it, encasing the creature within.

“Is it going to molt inside the cocoon?”

Lu Changsheng looked at the fist-sized, blood-tinged golden cocoon before him and raised an eyebrow in curiosity.

He didn’t disturb the cocoon but made sure there was plenty of Spiritual Blood nearby, in case the Six-Winged Golden Silkworm needed more.

“Sigh, I was so preoccupied with rescuing Xiao Chan and Nangong Milí that I completely forgot about the Six-Winged Golden Silkworm’s situation.”
