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

Chapter 762: Chapter 283: A Trip to Qingyun Market, Fairy of the Zither!_2

“Great news? Okay, I’ll go back with you then.”

Xiao Xiyue immediately let go of the nervousness that had suddenly arisen and was curious about what the great news Lu Changsheng had mentioned was.

…

One and a half months later, the Qingyun Market’s auction took place.

The auction was bustling with excitement, and even with Xiao Xiyue’s connections, Lu Changsheng managed only to secure a spot in the ordinary seats.

The distinguished guest seats were reserved for notable figures from the Qingyun Sect or those with reputable names and faces from the surrounding areas.

...
To this, Lu Changsheng was indifferent.

He attended the auction just to join in on the excitement and see if he could snag some good finds.

As the auction was about to start, cultivators poured in continuously, among whom were even the False Core Immortals!

“Huan Yin Sect! The leader is the Fairy of the Qin from the Huan Yin Sect!”

Just then, four women clad in rainbow-colored dresses adorned with white ribbons, dignified and graceful, with the air of immortals, walked into the auction, causing quite a stir when someone exclaimed.

Lu Changsheng also turned his head to look.

The women had their hair done in an immortal’s style and wore veils over their faces, making it hard to discern their features. Only a pair of beautiful eyes were visible outside.

The more it was so, the more it gave off a misty and ethereal beauty, making one eager to get a glimpse of the celestial face beneath the veil.

“So these are the cultivators from the Huan Yin Sect?”

Lu Changsheng remained calm, with a slight raise of his eyebrows, unperturbed.

In the Jiang Country Cultivation Realm, besides the Heavenly Sword Sect, Qingyun Sect, Luoxia Sect, and Spirit Taming Sect, there were also two sects, three cities, three noble families, and eight forces of Core Formation strength.

The Huan Yin Sect was one of the two sects!

The sect was quite distinctive – it was dominated by female cultivators, who cultivated music mastery, excelled in singing and dancing, and dabbled in illusion and bewitching techniques.

Many large marketplaces had businesses under their name, such as the ‘Huan Yin Pavilion’ and ‘Miao Yin Pavilion’…

The music and dance of the sect’s disciples could refine one’s emotions, purify the spirit, and even assist in breaking through realms.

Many found themselves needing to adjust their state when attempting to breakthrough bottlenecks.

And the music cultivation techniques of the Huan Yin Sect could stir people’s emotions, bringing calm to the mind and dispelling distractions.

As for the title ‘Fairy of the Qin,’ Lu Changsheng had only heard of it.

She seemed to be a disciple of the Huan Yin Sect’s sect leader.

Because of her profound attainments in music, people referred to her as ‘Fairy of the Qin.’

The four women only appeared for a moment before walking straight into one of the second-floor’s private boxes, restoring tranquillity to the venue.

A short while later, the auction began.

The auction, held once every ten years, started with items of the Qi Refinement Realm level.

Compared to other items, these were relatively rare and uncommon materials.

Lu Changsheng had no interest in these items and did not bid.

When it came to the middle of the auction, items suitable for Foundation Establishment started to appear.

During the process, Lu Changsheng bid for and won a water-type turtle demon core.

After exchanging insights on beast taming with Hong Lian, he learned that for creatures like the Nine Netherhound, Six-Winged Golden Silkworm, and Cold Blue Dark Turtle, it was beneficial for their growth to consume certain demon cores, though these had to be of the same attribute.

If the species of the demon beast matched, the effect would be even better.

This water-type turtle demon core could help the Cold Blue Dark Turtle, so he decided to purchase it.

The auction continued, and as the latter half arrived, rare items of the Foundation Establishment started to surface, even third rank heaven and earth treasures.

“Spiritual Origin Pearl, starting bid, twenty-thousand Spirit Stones.”

“This pearl is a product of natural creation. Although it is ungraded as an ‘Eye of Spirit,’ carrying it or placing it in a dwelling will enrich the Spiritual Energy, and if combined with a Formation, it can even be used to upgrade a Spirit Vein… Each bid increase must not be less than a thousand Spirit Stones!”

It was at this moment that an auction item emerged, sparking a surge of excitement.

“Spiritual Origin Pearl!”

Lu Changsheng’s face showed surprise and delight.

After obtaining a previous Spiritual Origin Pearl, Ling Zixiao made a judgment.

He indicated that with just one Spiritual Origin Pearl or through cultivating with a large number of Spirit Stones, the Spirit Vein of Bi Yun Peak could potentially be elevated to a high-grade second rank.

He had been wondering how to get a Spiritual Origin Pearl, and although he came to the auction hoping for some luck, he did not expect to actually find one.

“Twenty-five thousand Spirit Stones!”

“Thirty thousand Spirit Stones!”

“Thirty-two thousand Spirit Stones!”

The Eye of Spirit like the Spiritual Origin Pearl was in demand by both individuals and forces, and it was immediately competed for by many.

“Forty thousand Spirit Stones!”

Lu Changsheng called out his bid.

In the midst of the competition, he ultimately spent forty-three thousand Spirit Stones to acquire the Spiritual Origin Pearl.

The price was a bit steep.

But for Lu Changsheng, it was within an acceptable range.

Fortunately, he had dealt with the magic artifacts and spiritual artifacts obtained from the Robber Cultivators in the Red Leaf Valley Market during his recent market strolls.

Otherwise, he would not have had enough Spirit Stones on hand right now and would have had to resort to selling Talisman materials.

In the following auctions, several flagship items were presented: third rank Spiritual Wood, Core Formation Spiritual Objects, and lower-grade Magical Treasures…

But since the prices were too high and he had just spent a significant amount on the Spiritual Origin Pearl, Lu Changsheng decided to forgo further competition.

After all, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator with too much wealth would attract unwanted attention.

Moreover, he really didn’t have many Spirit Stones left.

As the auction came to an end, Lu Changsheng left the venue feeling satisfied.

Though he had only purchased two items this time, the acquisition of the Spiritual Origin Pearl made the trip worthwhile in his eyes.

…

Seven days later.

Lu Changsheng and Xiao Xiyue returned to Bi Lake Mountain, preparing for their daughter Lu Wangshu to awaken her Blood Talisman Spiritual Body.

As for Lu Muping, there had been no movement in his dwelling up to now.

This situation was quite normal.

All cultivators attempting Foundation Establishment had to ferment, adjust their state.

Someone like Lu Miaoge, who had ‘Heavenly Foundation Establishment,’ was an extreme rarity.
