Chapter 141: Chapter 92: Screwing on the Assembly Line!_2
Earning money from making puppets could never be as easy or quick as earning money from talisman making.

Then, the time and material costs of the production are too high.

It made him immediately abandon the strategy of the puppet sea battle he had imagined.

Even for a first-grade inferior puppet, he couldn’t afford many.

As for making second rank puppets, that was even more out of the question.

It’s not that he couldn’t create them; he simply didn’t have the money.

Lu Changsheng wasn’t very clear on the material costs for a second rank puppet.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

But his preliminary estimate was at least several thousand spirit stones.

“This is too hard!”

Lu Changsheng sighed deeply.

It felt like everywhere on the path of cultivation required money.

He now needed money to save the unfortunate female cultivators at White Jade Tower.

He also needed money to buy a first-grade premium talisman brush, to purchase second rank talisman materials, and to draw second rank talismans.

Barely having enough money as it was, and in great need of it, where would he find the funds to buy materials to make second rank puppets?

“Alas, one person can only do so much.

“If you try to do everything yourself, it’s just too hard.”

“There’s simply not enough time and energy, no wonder many artisans choose to join a power.”

Lu Changsheng shook his head in contemplation.

He also understood why many would choose to join a power.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Because by joining a power, there were many conveniences.

Just like when he was with the Lu Family, he also benefited from the family.

But the problem was, his second rank talismans and the second rank puppets he currently had couldn’t be shown.

He couldn’t quickly convert them into resources.

And with his current lack of strength, he didn’t dare reveal his second rank skills.

Otherwise, what would he do if he ended up as a tool person drawing talismans for eight hours a day?

“Eh, wait a second, puppet making, though difficult, is mainly complex.”

“Not only do you need to refine materials, create parts, craft components, and assemble them, but you also have to engrave spiritual pattern formations onto the puppets, and so on.”

“One person trying to master all of this is of course very hard, but these steps can be divided up and done by different people.”

Lu Changsheng assimilated the puppet knowledge in his mind.

All of a sudden, he felt producing puppets was a bit like the assembly line factory where he had screwed in bolts in his previous life, and an idea occurred to him.

“If a person only had to master one thing, wouldn’t that be much simpler?”

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

“I could find a group of somewhat talented apprentices and teach them different parts of puppet making; parts, components, and assembly to different people.”

“Then, I could teach the most central spiritual pattern formation engraving to a trustworthy person, wouldn’t that achieve an assembly line for puppets?”

“As long as the puppets are industrialized on an assembly line, and the quantity goes up, wouldn’t making money become simpler?”

“After all, no matter how profitable talisman making is, it’s still just one person, how can that compare to the products of an assembly line?”

Lu Changsheng thought to himself.

The more he thought about it, the more feasible this idea seemed to Lu Changsheng.

Talisman making had to be done by himself.

But with his skills in second rank puppet making, as a master second rank puppet maker, he found that puppet making could absolutely be divided up among multiple workers.

The difficulty of this art lay in its complexity.

You had to create and refine the numerous parts and components of a puppet, assemble them, then engrave the spiritual pattern formations upon the puppet.

One even needed to understand mechanical techniques, human biomechanics, physics, mechanical construction, and a whole bunch of other things.

But if these parts were divided up and industrialized, allowing different people to work on them, the barriers suddenly lowered.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

There was a definite hope of creating an assembly line industry.

“If I can think of this, surely others could too, right?”

“Forget it, for now, this is a bit too far-fetched for me. I’ll wait until I’m stronger and consider it then.”

Lu Changsheng shook his head, pushing down the idea that had just come to him.

To build a puppet-making industry, he would still need a certain level of strength before he could start to implement it.

Currently with no money and no strength, it’s better to stick to making talismans to earn money, to survive and grow.

Looking at the sky outside, which was almost evening, Lu Changsheng walked out of the Spiritual Talisman Shop.

He prepared himself to purchase some materials for making puppets.

Despite the high costs, since he had the skills, he had to put them to use and create a couple for fun.

If all else failed, they could later serve as toys for his children.

Lu Changsheng didn’t go to the loose cultivator market to buy materials.

This round trip would take too long, and by the time he finished, it would be dark.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

An hour later.

Lu Changsheng arrived at the Qingyun Commerce Guild.

This was a shop opened by the Qingyun Sect itself, with seven floors and was extremely luxurious.

Inside, elixir medicines, magic artifacts, cultivation techniques, heavenly and earthly treasures, and more were sold, all with guarantees.

Lu Changsheng went to the Qingyun Commerce Guild and purchased materials for making a first-grade inferior puppet and a first-grade middle-grade puppet.

He also casually bought some spiritual materials needed for practicing the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Technique.

Even though he was making rapid progress with the Black Dragon Magical Bead for the Treasure Body Technique,

Lu Changsheng still spent an hour each day cultivating the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Technique.

Eventually, Lu Changsheng bought everything he needed, spending two hundred and thirty-six spirit stones,

Adding more difficulties to his already not affluent household.

The day of his visit to the White Jade Tower would be postponed yet again.

After leaving the Qingyun Commerce Guild, Lu Changsheng passed by the ‘Thousand Mechanism Pavilion,’ a shop selling puppets.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

He went in to inquire about the prices of the puppets.

The shopkeeper told him that different puppets, with different effects, even of the same grade, have different prices.

Then he told him the rough prices of the puppets.

A first-grade inferior puppet cost about seventy to eighty spirit stones.
