Chapter 67: Iron-feathered Eagle!

“Lu Changsheng, are you here to pick up the Iron Feather Eagle?”

Butler Lu saw Lu Changsheng approaching and knew his purpose.

He glanced at the Magical Artifact Robe on Lu Changsheng.

Although the Magical Artifact Robe looked like ordinary brocade and luxurious clothing after its spiritual light dimmed.

But if one looked closely, one could still discern some differences from ordinary clothes in the fabric craftsmanship.

“Yes, Butler Lu, I’m going to Nine Dragon Market in a couple of days, so Fourth Elder asked me to come to you to get an Iron Feather Eagle.”

Lu Changsheng smiled and nodded.

“Nine Dragon Market is good, it’s a nice place, not far from our Qingzhu Mountain, and the public order is good too.”

“When you’re young, you should go out more, see things, and get some experience.”

Butler Lu smiled and nodded.

He took out a yellow leather pouch and a yellow copper token, handing them to Lu Changsheng and saying, “This is your Iron Feather Eagle.”

“The Spirit Beast Pouch is used the same way as a Storage Pouch, and this Beast Taming Token allows you to communicate simply with the Iron Feather Eagle and give it commands.”

“You haven’t ridden this kind of Iron Feather Eagle before, so you probably aren’t familiar with it yet. You’ll need to adapt to it beforehand.”

“Let me take you outside to get used to it.”

Butler Lu continued.

“Thank you, Butler Lu.”

Lu Changsheng nodded, took the Spirit Beast Pouch and Beast Taming Token, and looked at them.

This was his first time encountering such things.

He had thought about buying a Spirit Beast Pouch for the Nine Nether Mastiff before.

But then he thought that since he wasn’t going out anyway, he wouldn’t need it for now, so he didn’t waste the money, planning to buy it later.

Furthermore, Lu Changsheng didn’t plan to bring the Nine Nether Mastiff with him on this trip to Nine Dragon Market.

The Nine Nether Mastiff was still a First-Order Early Stage Yao Beast, so bringing it out wouldn’t be of much use.

It was better to leave it at home to continue being a playmate for the children.

Immediately, Butler Lu led Lu Changsheng out of Qingzhu Valley to a spacious area.

Here, several Lu Family disciples were Cultivating Spells, and even attempting to fly with Flying Swords.

Cultivators could attempt Flying Sword flight after reaching Qi Refining Third Layer and being able to control a Flying Sword.

But it was just for fun and experience.

To truly fly with a Flying Sword, one had to reach Qi Refining Late Stage.

Only then could the spiritual power within one’s body support short-distance flight.

And one also had to purchase a specialized flying Magical Artifact, otherwise, the spiritual power consumption would still be very high.

“Butler Lu, Brother Changsheng.”

“Brother-in-law, Butler Lu.”

These Lu Family disciples greeted Lu Changsheng and Butler Lu.

“Hehe, you all continue. I’m bringing Changsheng over to get familiar with the Iron Feather Eagle.”

Butler Lu nodded and smiled at them.

Upon hearing this, several Lu Family disciples looked at Lu Changsheng with some surprise and envy.

The Iron Feather Eagle was a Lu Family flying mount, only a few Family disciples and Family Elders could apply for it when going out.

“Yes, I’m going to Nine Dragon Market in a few days.”

Lu Changsheng smiled and nodded, not hiding anything.

After all, this was not a secret.

“Hiss!”

“Hiss!”

“Hiss!”

Upon hearing this, the several Lu Family disciples looked at Lu Changsheng with even more envy.

For Cultivation Families like the Lu Family, after supporting their disciples to a certain age and strength, they would arrange for them to go out for experience.

This was not only because they couldn’t afford to support them indefinitely, but also to contribute to the Family.

Only by going out for experience and seeking Opportunities could there be a glimmer of hope for Foundation Establishment.

Otherwise, most disciples with ordinary talent would have no hope of Foundation Establishment in this life.

And the experience arranged by the Family was to arrange them to work in various markets.

These markets naturally varied in quality.

Nine Dragon Market, for example, not only had a good environment but was also close to Qingzhu Mountain, making it a top-tier destination.

However, only a few outstanding disciples were arranged to go to Nine Dragon Market for experience.

Some less fortunate ones were even arranged to go to certain spiritual lands for reclamation.

They hadn’t expected Lu Changsheng to be arranged for external experience, not only having an Iron Feather Eagle as a mount but also going to Nine Dragon Market.

Such treatment was simply enviable.

However, thinking of Lu Changsheng as a First-Order Middle-Grade Talisman Master, they knew that this envy was unachievable.

Even if they couldn’t become a Middle-Grade Talisman Master, their treatment wouldn’t be bad if they became a Low Grade Talisman Master.

“Alas, next year I’ll also have to go out for experience. I wonder where I’ll be arranged to go.”

“In my opinion, as long as it’s not for reclamation, it’s pretty much the same everywhere.”

“The worse the environment and the more dangerous the place, the more Opportunities there are. With our talent, if we want to reach Foundation Establishment, we can only fight for it.”

“That’s right, although Nine Dragon Market has a good environment, it’s too comfortable and offers few Opportunities.”

“But how many people actually succeed through struggle? I’m just an 8th Grade Spiritual Root, so I don’t even think about Foundation Establishment. I’ll be content if I can marry several wives and concubines like Lu Changsheng in the future.”

Several Lu Family disciples couldn’t help but talk about their future.

Although they were devoted to Cultivating Immortality, they also felt some confusion about their future.

Butler Lu led Lu Changsheng to a secluded spot and said, “Lu Changsheng, you can get used to it here.”

Lu Changsheng nodded, looked at the Spirit Beast Pouch, and immediately sensed within it a majestic eagle with feathers as black as iron.

With a slight movement of his mind, he opened the Spirit Beast Pouch.

The Iron Feather Eagle inside transformed into a streak of black light, flying out and landing before him. It was two meters tall, and its feathers shimmered like black iron in the sunlight, looking incredibly powerful.

Lu Changsheng could faintly sense the Iron Feather Eagle’s emotions through the Beast Taming Token in his hand, feeling a hint of fear towards him.

“This Iron Feather Eagle has been tamed and has lost its wild nature; it’s very gentle. You can just ride on it, and then use the Beast Taming Token to issue commands with your mind.”

“Be careful. Don’t fly too fast, too high, or too far at first.”

Butler Lu reminded him from the side.

“Okay.”

Lu Changsheng nodded, cast a Light Body Spell on himself, and with a leap, landed steadily on the eagle’s back.

He first squatted on the Iron Feather Eagle’s body, grasping its black, iron-like feathers tightly with both hands, then conveyed a command to the Iron Feather Eagle using the Beast Taming Token.

“Take off!”

Immediately, the Iron Feather Eagle flapped its wings with a ‘whoosh, whoosh’ sound, rapidly soaring into the sky.

The strong winds roared around Lu Changsheng, making it difficult for him to open his eyes.

However, the next moment, the wind-transforming formation on his Magical Artifact Robe activated, emitting a faint glow that dispelled the surrounding strong winds, turning them into a gentle breeze.

The several Lu Family disciples nearby heard the commotion and looked over.

They looked at Lu Changsheng, who was riding on the Iron Feather Eagle, with immense envy.

After all, this was a flying mount.

For low-level Cultivators, possessing a flying mount was not only convenient for travel but also very impressive.

“Is this what flying feels like!?”

Lu Changsheng clung tightly to the Iron Feather Eagle, feeling a mix of apprehension and excitement.

This feeling was completely different from riding an airplane in his previous life.

He didn’t let the Iron Feather Eagle fly too high.

Otherwise, if he fell, he, at Qi Refining Fourth Layer, wouldn’t be able to withstand it.

The Iron Feather Eagle was used as a flying mount by the Lu Family for a reason; it flew very steadily.

Combined with the wind-transforming effect of the Magical Artifact Robe, Lu Changsheng felt incredibly stable.

After riding for a while, Lu Changsheng gradually relaxed and adapted, letting go of his hands and sitting calmly on the eagle’s back, allowing the Iron Feather Eagle to carry him through the air.

After flying a few circles, Lu Changsheng had the Iron Feather Eagle land.

After all, Butler Lu was still waiting below.
