Chapter 162: The spiritual plant of heaven and earth, the spiritual and bright precious tree!

After disguising themselves, Lu Changsheng and Xiao Xi Yue changed their identities and arrived at the Red Leaf Valley Market’s auction venue.

Although the auction was still more than a month away.

These three months were also considered a warm-up period.

Not only were major forces invited to participate, but scattered cultivators were also welcome to bring their natural treasures for appraisal and auction.

Many scattered cultivators might obtain some natural treasures that they didn’t recognize and could only spend spirit stones to find appraisers to identify them.

In order to attract traffic, the four major families directly invited several appraisers to be stationed at the auction venue, providing free appraisals for people’s items.

“Greetings, Senior!”

“Are the two Seniors here for appraisal or auction?”

As soon as Lu Changsheng and Xiao Xi Yue entered the auction venue, the person in charge sitting inside was shocked and quickly stepped forward, revealing a respectful and flattering expression.

The reason was simple: Xiao Xi Yue didn’t restrain her aura and revealed a bit of her Foundation Establishment aura.

In the world of cultivation, many times, simply revealing a bit of strength can make things much easier.

“Both.”

Xiao Xi Yue said in a calm tone.

Her tone had also been slightly altered, becoming more cold and noble.

“Seniors… please come to the second floor!”

The person in charge bowed extremely respectfully and invited the two into the third floor of the venue.

The scattered cultivators waiting in line for appraisal next to them didn’t feel that the two were cutting in line or that the person in charge’s behavior was inappropriate.

On the contrary, they all looked at Lu Changsheng and Xiao Xi Yue with respectful, admiring, envious, and curious expressions.

The environment on the second floor was very elegant.

Lu Changsheng and Xiao Xi Yue were invited into a private room, and soon after they sat down, a middle-aged man in luxurious clothing hurried over.

He had a refined appearance and wore a blue robe with flowing spiritual light.

After seeing the two, he first bowed and said: “Greetings, Seniors, I am Yu Zhengguang, serving as the person in charge of this auction venue and also an appraiser. May I ask what items the two Seniors need to auction or appraise?”

Entering the market required verification of identity information and application for an identity card.

If a Foundation Establishment cultivator came, the market would naturally receive them respectfully.

However, the Foundation Establishment cultivators who had recently entered the market didn’t include the two in front of him.

Therefore, he also knew that the two didn’t want to reveal their identities and didn’t dare to ask too much.

After all, for Foundation Establishment cultivators whose background was unknown, one must maintain a good attitude.

“Take a look at these talismans.”

Xiao Xi Yue took out a stack of talismans and gently placed them on the table.

“Talismans?”

Yu Zhengguang carefully took the talismans, looked at them twice in his hand, and then looked at Xiao Xi Yue again, with a bit more awe in his eyes.

“Senior, these talismans are all second-order, low-grade talismans, but I can see that they are all high-quality talismans.”

“I wonder if Senior wants to auction them or sell them directly?”

Yu Zhengguang said respectfully and politely.

“Auction.”

Xiao Xi Yue said calmly.

“No problem, I will arrange it for Senior immediately.”

“However, the auction will not begin for some time. Will Senior temporarily entrust the talismans to our auction house, or will Senior…”

Yu Zhengguang asked.

“I will come over then.”

Xiao Xi Yue said calmly.

“Alright, when Senior comes over, you can take out this token, and I will immediately arrange everything properly for Senior.”

Yu Zhengguang immediately took out a token and said.

“Do you recognize what kind of demon beast egg this is?”

At this time, Lu Changsheng took out a light cyan egg from his storage bag, placed it on the table, and asked.

It was the pet egg harvested from Meng Yibai’s spirit pet bag.

There were many types of demon beasts, and it was very difficult to identify what demon beast it was from the egg.

After searching for a while, Lu Changsheng didn’t find out what kind of demon beast egg it was or how to hatch it.

Now that he had the opportunity, he wanted to see if the other party knew.

“Demon beast egg?”

Yu Zhengguang looked at the demon beast egg in front of him.

Then he bowed and picked up the demon beast egg to examine it carefully.

After examining it for a moment, golden light surged in his eyes, apparently using a kind of pupil technique for appraisal.

“Senior, please wait a moment while I confirm.”

He cupped his hands towards Lu Changsheng and took out jade scrolls from his storage bag and began to flip through them.

After flipping through two jade scrolls, he spoke: “Senior, if I’m not mistaken, this should be a ‘Cyan Jade Luan Bird’ egg.”

“Cyan Jade Luan Bird?”

Lu Changsheng raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.

“That’s right, this is information about the demon beast, Cyan Jade Luan Bird.”

Yu Zhengguang immediately handed the jade scroll in his hand to Lu Changsheng.

“Cyan Jade Luan Bird, mid-grade Earth rank bloodline.”

“Legend has it that the Cyan Jade Luan Bird has a trace of the Cyan Luan True Spirit’s bloodline, so it is considered an outstanding being among the Earth rank bloodlines. As long as it is properly cultivated, it has the hope of becoming a third-order Demon King.”

Lu Changsheng looked at the jade scroll, which had a vivid and beautiful Luan Bird, as green as jade, full of fairy aura.

Below was a simple introduction about this Cyan Jade Luan Bird.

However, he didn’t see anything about the hatching and cultivation methods of the Cyan Jade Luan Bird.

“Do you know how to hatch and cultivate this Cyan Jade Luan Bird?”

Lu Changsheng asked.

His current mount was still a trash Iron Feather Eagle.

If he knew how to hatch and cultivate this Cyan Jade Luan Bird, he could raise it.

Regardless of its combat power, this Cyan Jade Luan Bird was indeed good-looking.

“Senior, I don’t know about the hatching and cultivation methods of this Cyan Jade Luan Bird…”

“However, I have heard that the Cyan Jade Luan Bird likes azure warm jade. Senior can try building a nest with azure warm jade in a place with abundant spiritual energy to hatch this demon beast egg. It might be helpful.”

Yu Zhengguang said with a wry smile upon hearing this.

“Alright, thank you.”

Lu Changsheng nodded and put away the pet egg.

Knowledge about the hatching and cultivation methods of demon beasts was a secret that was not passed on.

Ordinary cultivators had difficulty accessing it.

What’s more, this Cyan Jade Luan Bird was an Earth-rank bloodline demon beast, and its hatching and cultivation methods were even more precious.

“Senior, you’re too kind.”

Yu Zhengguang looked flattered.

Then, Lu Changsheng roughly inquired about what good things were in the auction.

Faced with the inquiry of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, Yu Zhengguang didn’t dare to hide anything and revealed some of the information he knew.

Lu Changsheng wasn’t too interested after listening.

After chatting for a while, Lu Changsheng and Xiao Xi Yue got up and left.

“Seniors, if you encounter anything in the market, or if you need to order anything small, you can come to our Yu family. Our Yu family is the host of Red Leaf Valley Market…”

Seeing that Lu Changsheng and Xiao Xi Yue were about to leave, Yu Zhengguang took out a jade token, his eyes respectful and polite.

“Alright.”

Lu Changsheng smiled and accepted the jade token.

He naturally understood that the other party wanted to befriend him and form a relationship.

After Lu Changsheng and Xiao Xi Yue left, Yu Zhengguang exhaled a long breath, his expression extremely solemn: “Although this person didn’t reveal his cultivation aura, he is very likely also a Foundation Establishment cultivator.”

“Two Foundation Establishment cultivators whose background is unknown have come to the market. This matter must be reported to the ancestor.”

“Xi Yue, you can keep this jade token.”

After walking out of the auction venue, Lu Changsheng threw the jade token to Xiao Xi Yue and said.

He couldn’t reveal his true appearance in the market, and he didn’t need this jade token.

Xiao Xi Yue might find it convenient to have this jade token sometimes.

“Okay.”

Xiao Xi Yue put away the jade token and then said: “Changsheng, if you need the hatching and cultivation methods of the Cyan Jade Luan Bird, I can go back to the sect later to check.”

“There’s no rush for that. You can take a look when you have time in the future.”

Lu Changsheng said casually.

At this time, he also realized the benefits of having a sect force.

Treasures and knowledge that ordinary cultivators had difficulty obtaining were much simpler for immortal sect disciples.

“By the way, this Cyan Jade Luan Bird egg was also obtained from Meng Yibai.”

“So if you are looking up information about this, you also have to pay a little attention.”

Lu Changsheng reminded him.

Although the probability of such a thing is very small.

But it’s still good to pay attention.

After all, being targeted by a fake Dan True Person is quite troublesome.

“Okay, I will pay attention.”

Xiao Xiyue nodded gently upon hearing this.

Considering that he now had the identity of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, Lu Changsheng and Xiao Xiyue rented a courtyard in the market for convenience.

Usually, they were like a couple of Daoist companions playing in the mortal world, living in seclusion in the small courtyard, or strolling around the market.

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

“Hmm, this child has a seventh-grade spiritual root?”

On this day, Lu Changsheng felt a mysterious palpitation.

Knowing that a child with spiritual roots was born.

Based on the time, he guessed it should be the child in Yun Qianqian’s womb.

Thinking of Yun Qianqian, he couldn’t help but think of his friend from the Jiulongfang Market, Yu Maocheng.

After the Yu family’s Third Young Master recruited him, the relationship between the two became a bit estranged.

Later, he didn’t go to Jiulongfang Market, and the two didn’t have any contact. Only Yun Qianqian would occasionally exchange letters with Yu Ningrong.

“The auction is about to start in half a month, and I have to go back.”

Lu Changsheng thought to himself.

He had promised several wives before that he would take them to Hongyegu Market to see the auction.

And he had to go back to give lectures to the Lu family disciples.

Immediately, after saying goodbye to Xiao Xiyue and Lu Miaoge, Lu Changsheng rode back to Qingzhushan.

“Ninth Elder!”

“Master Lu.”

“Brother Changsheng, Brother-in-law Changsheng.”

Returning to Qingzhushan, many members of the Lu family greeted Lu Changsheng along the way.

Faced with this, Lu Changsheng still smiled, nodded politely in return, and didn’t act like an elder.

After telling Fu Bo about the lecture, Lu Changsheng returned to his home.

Knowing that Yun Qianqian had given birth to a girl, Lu Changsheng also went to see her out of concern.

Although he has many children now, and he is much more indifferent in this regard.

But he will still do the basics of being a husband and a father.

After staying at home for ten days, Lu Changsheng dealt with some miscellaneous matters, and then drove the spirit boat, taking Lu Miaohuan, Lu Miaoyun, and Qu Zhenzhen to Hongyegu Market together.

Now that he is an elder of the Lu family, driving a spirit boat is not conspicuous.

“Brother Cheng, why are you here too?”

Arriving at the gate of Hongyegu Market, Lu Changsheng saw a familiar patrolman and greeted him.

“Changsheng.”

“Hey, it’s the first auction, and there can’t be any mistakes, so the family arranged for me to maintain order.”

Lu Miaocheng looked lazy, but when he saw Lu Changsheng, he immediately cheered up and said.

Then he greeted Lu Miaoyun, Lu Miaohuan, and Qu Zhenzhen next to him, registered them directly, and let them enter through the special passage.

Now the traffic in Hongyegu Market has increased, so special passages have also been set up for some distinguished guests, without the need to verify their identity.

Entering the market, Lu Changsheng first accompanied several wives to play in the market.

As the auction was about to begin, the traffic in Hongyegu Market also reached a peak, which was very lively.

“Hmph!”

At this moment, walking on the road, the Second Miss suddenly snorted coldly with a look of disdain.

A woman in a yellow dress who was walking towards them also glanced at Lu Changsheng and snorted coldly with disdain.

Seeing this scene, Lu Changsheng was stunned, not knowing what was going on.

After a while, he remembered that the woman was the direct daughter of the Zheng family, named Zheng Yongshan.

There seemed to be some conflicts and grudges with the Second Miss.

He didn’t expect that after so many years, the two of them still remembered the feud, which made him shake his head and smile.

“Is this Fellow Daoist Lu Changsheng, the Lu Talisman Master? I am Yu Ninghai, nice to meet Fellow Daoist Lu.”

At this time, the blue-clothed youth who was walking side by side with Zheng Yongshan, saw Lu Changsheng, smiled and stepped forward to greet him.

“Nice to meet Fellow Daoist Yu.”

Lu Changsheng knew that the other party was from the Yu family of Bihu Mountain when he heard the name.

He had also heard that the Zheng family had no successors now, let alone a new Foundation Establishment, there were not even a few Foundation Establishment seeds.

And the Zheng family’s ancestor only had a few decades of life left.

So the Zheng family got on the relationship line of the Yu family, and there were many intermarriages between the two families.

The newest and fastest novels are at six nine shu ba dot com!

The two of them simply exchanged a few polite words, and then left with their female relatives.

“Huan’er still remembers the feud.”

At this time, Lu Changsheng looked at the Second Miss and teased.

“Tch, what feud do I remember? I don’t hold grudges.”

The Second Miss was wearing a black exquisite dress, with a tall and graceful figure. Hearing Lu Changsheng’s words, she gently raised her delicate chin.

Since becoming the mother of two children, she has been much more conservative in her clothing.

Although she still has a hobby of buying small skirts, she only wears them at home or when she is with Lu Changsheng.

“Hehe, did that person just offend Sister Huanhuan?”

Qu Zhenzhen on the side showed a gossiping look when she heard this.

Lu Changsheng smiled and talked about interesting things.

After accompanying his wives for half a day, Lu Changsheng and the others went to the Lu family’s mansion.

Although he doesn’t live here, he also has a courtyard because he often stays in Hongyegu Market.

On the third day, Lu Yuanzhong, the ancestor of the Lu family, also came to Hongyegu Market.

He led a group of Lu family executives to inspect the situation of the Lu family’s shops in the market.

Lu Changsheng, as the Ninth Elder of the family, naturally accompanied him.

During this inspection process, Lu Changsheng gained a general understanding of the situation of the Lu family’s inns and restaurants.

It can only be said that the income is average.

If you want a higher income, only the talisman shops have a higher income.

However, this is also because the Lu family has several first-order top talisman masters.

And the talisman paper and spiritual ink made by the Lu family have a good reputation.

[Congratulations to the host for reaching thirty spiritual root descendants, and obtaining a lottery chance!]

At this moment, a mysterious palpitation, accompanied by a system prompt, sounded.

Lu Changsheng knew that another child with spiritual roots had been born in the family.

However, he had drawn so many lotteries, and now when he heard this prompt, his expression remained unchanged, and his heart was calm. He continued to inspect with the crowd.

After the inspection, Lu Changsheng returned to his quiet room and muttered in his mouth: “System, draw a lottery!”

Immediately, the familiar lottery turntable appeared in front of him.

“Start the lottery!”

Lu Changsheng’s mind moved slightly, and a golden light quickly rotated on the lottery turntable.

After a while, the golden light stopped on ‘Treasure’.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the ‘Lingming Treasure Tree’!]

[The reward has been distributed to the system space, and the host can check it at any time]

“Lingming Treasure Tree? Heaven and Earth Spiritual Plant?”

Lu Changsheng raised his eyebrows as he looked at the reward he had drawn.

Before, he thought that spiritual plants would also appear in the pet column when he drew the Six-Winged Golden Silkworm in the ‘Pet’ column.

“That’s right, some grass and wood spiritual plants can become demons, but not all plants can become demons.”

Lu Changsheng chuckled.

He didn’t get entangled in these, his mind moved slightly, and he looked at the system space to check the introduction about the Lingming Treasure Tree.

[Spiritual Plant: Lingming Treasure Tree]

[Grade: Third Grade]

[Description: Lingming Treasure Tree, every thirty years, Lingming Chunye will condense from the roots. Chunye is used to wipe the eyes, which can make the eyes clear and bright, and increase the spiritual eye spells and supernatural powers.]

“Lingming Treasure Tree, Lingming Chunye, makes the eyes clear and bright, and increases the spiritual eye spells and supernatural powers.”

Lu Changsheng looked at the introduction about the Lingming Treasure Tree in the system space, and a look of joy appeared on his face.

Not to mention anything else, he realized that the value of the third-order spiritual plant treasure tree was extraordinary.

Especially when he saw that every thirty years, Lingming Chunye would condense from the roots.

This Lingming Chunye is used to wipe the eyes, which can make the eyes clear and bright, and increase the spiritual eye spells and supernatural powers, which made him realize that this Lingming Treasure Tree is of extraordinary value.

In the world of cultivation, natural treasures that can enhance a cultivator’s abilities and amplify their spells and divine powers are extremely rare and expensive.

And spiritual eyes are needed by most cultivators.

For example, checking the cultivation level and strength of others, or exploring secret realms and formations, and appraising treasures all require spiritual eye techniques.

This Luminous Treasure Tree can continuously produce Luminous Essence, which is beneficial for spiritual eyes, so it is no exaggeration to call it a money tree.

“However, this Luminous Treasure Tree only condenses Luminous Essence once every thirty years, which is too long.”

“Moreover, to plant this kind of third-order spiritual plant, it must be planted on at least a second-order spiritual vein.”

“Although it can be planted in Green Bamboo Valley, this Luminous Treasure Tree is not like the Golden Armor Bean Mother, where you can just dig a hole in the yard. It looks quite big and conspicuous.”

Lu Changsheng took a deep breath and exhaled, clearly recognizing the flaws of this spiritual plant in his heart.

In the long run, this is a money tree, a treasure tree.

Especially for a cultivating family, its value is extraordinary.

But for him personally, it is currently quite useless.

“Forget it, I’ll see later if I can plant it in the Lu family first.”

“Anyway, this kind of spiritual plant can also be transplanted. It’s just that when transplanting, you have to hire a spiritual plant master.”

Lu Changsheng did not extract this Luminous Treasure Tree from the system space.

He planned to extract it when he wanted to plant it.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t know how to arrange it after extracting it.

As for the ‘Heaven and Earth Longevity Method’ he obtained, which allows his wives and children to refine heaven and earth spiritual plants into ‘Natal Spiritual Roots,’ he is not considering it for the time being.

It’s not that he is reluctant to part with this treasure tree.

In the Heaven and Earth Longevity Method, after refining heaven and earth spiritual plants into ‘Natal Spiritual Roots,’ they still grow as usual.

Even the cultivator can obtain some of the profound divine powers of the ‘Heaven and Earth Spiritual Plant.’

But he has to consider whether to plant it in the Lu family at all.

How could he use this treasure tree to allow his wife to cultivate the Heaven and Earth Longevity Method?

Night fell.

Lu Changsheng came to Xiao Xiyue’s courtyard.

After all, tomorrow he will be attending the auction with his four wives.

He will not be able to accompany Xiao Xiyue, and he will have to trouble Xiao Xiyue to help with the auction.

The next day, Lu Changsheng took his four wives, along with Lu Yuanzhong, Lu Yuanding, and others, to the Red Leaf Valley auction house.

To enter the auction, there are naturally certain requirements.

Either have a certain status, or verify your financial resources.

But the Lu family, as one of the hosts, naturally arranged a special VIP area.

“Brother Lu, greetings to all the sisters-in-law.”

Hong Yi also came to Red Leaf Valley to participate in the auction.

Seeing Lu Changsheng, he immediately stepped forward to greet him, trying to become familiar.

Even though he already knew that Lu Changsheng’s position in the Lu family was extraordinary.

But seeing Lu Changsheng walking with several wives and several high-level members of the Lu family, he couldn’t help but sigh in his heart.

Thinking back to the time when he, Lu Changsheng, and Li Feiyu failed to enter the Immortal Sect.

At that time, he still had some arrogance in his heart.

He felt that Lu Changsheng and Li Feiyu could only go to cultivating families as sons-in-law.

And he could go home to cultivate.

But now, Lu Changsheng has married the pearl of the Lu family from a son-in-law and become a high-level member of the Lu family, making him only able to look up to him.

“Brother Hong, you’re here too.”

Lu Changsheng nodded with a smile and briefly introduced him to his wives.

However, Qu Zhenzhen and Lu Miaoyun had both met Hong Yi.

Only Lu Miaohuan had not met him.

Although the Second Miss’s temperament has improved slightly now, she is still indifferent to people like Hong Yi, and only nodded slightly as a courtesy for Lu Changsheng’s sake.

Hong Yi didn’t bother too much, just came over to say hello and quickly left.

“Fellow Daoist Yu, Fellow Daoist Bai, Fellow Daoist Zheng, Fellow Daoist Huang, Fellow Daoist Xu.”

After entering the venue, Lu Yuanzhong greeted and chatted with one person after another.

Those who can be greeted and chatted with by Lu Yuanzhong are naturally all Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Faced with this situation, Lu Changsheng did not participate, but took his wives to the VIP platform where the Lu family was located and sat down.

Like this kind of VIP platform, not only is the location good, allowing you to have a panoramic view of the entire auction, but there are also maids preparing spiritual tea and spiritual fruits.

Lu Changsheng also saw Xiao Xiyue in the distant VIP seat.

After all, as a Foundation Establishment cultivator, the auction house would definitely prepare a VIP seat.

As for Hong Yi, he was sitting in the ordinary seat below, with only a simple futon, which was very simple.

Almost half an hour passed.

The seats in the auction hall were almost full.

“Buzz!”

A young man in a blue-green robe, wearing a jade crown, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, walked onto the auction stage.

“Welcome fellow Daoists to the Red Leaf Valley market. I am Yu Ningjun from the Yu family, and I am honored to host this auction. I also hope that everyone can buy what they want.”

The young man smiled and cupped his hands towards the audience.

His voice was gentle and calm, but clearly transmitted to everyone’s ears.

Obviously, his cultivation is not weak, and he has the strength of the Completion of Qi Refining stage.

“Dad, why do I feel that this auction is completely dominated by the Yu family?”

Lu Miaohuan frowned slightly as she looked at the person hosting the auction, who was also from the Yu family.

She had been playing in the Red Leaf Valley market these past few days, and she could see that whether it was patrolling or this auction, the Yu family occupied the majority.

Lu Changsheng heard this and also looked at Lu Yuanding.

Not to mention Lu Miaohuan, he had had this feeling for many years in the Red Leaf Valley market.

However, he vaguely guessed the reason in his heart.

“Although this Red Leaf Valley market is hosted by our four major families, you also know that now our Lu family only has Ancestor Yuanzhong in charge.”

“The Yu family not only has two Foundation Establishment ancestors, but their overall strength is also far superior to our Lu family, so in recent years, our Lu family’s say in the Red Leaf Valley market has also been constantly decreasing.”

Lu Yuanding sighed and explained.

Although the Lu family occupies 40% of this Red Leaf Valley market, the world of cultivation ultimately speaks with strength.

After the death of the Lu family’s ancestor, the Lu family only had Lu Yuanzhong to support them.

So the say in the Red Leaf Valley market gradually fell into the hands of the Yu family.

Although the Bai family is standing on the Lu family’s side.

But the Yu family is currently mainly fighting for the right to speak and eroding the Lu family’s interests.

For the Bai family, not only is there no loss, but they can even obtain benefits from the Yu family.

So even if they all know that when the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold, the Bai family cannot stand up to protect the Lu family’s interests.

After all, things have not reached that point.

“Although the Lu family obtained many benefits and gains from the battle that destroyed the Chen family.”

“But it also takes time to transform these things into strength.”

“So now we can only make concessions in the face of the Yu family.”

“After all, Lu Yuanzhong only broke through to Foundation Establishment not long ago, while the Yu family’s two ancestors have both broken through to Foundation Establishment for many years.”

Lu Changsheng thought to himself.

He also knew that although the Lu family is currently developing steadily, the situation is not very good.

However, he has now also reached Foundation Establishment.

If the Lu family really encounters a crisis, he also has the ability to help.

If it develops normally, it is basically impossible for the Lu family’s overall strength to surpass the Yu family.

But as long as Lu Miaoge reaches the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, Lu Changsheng has a 60-70% certainty of helping his wife successfully establish her foundation.

Once Lu Miaoge successfully establishes her foundation, the Lu family’s stable development on the surface will not be a problem.

It is not a problem to surpass the Yu family in the future.
