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

The last two even fetched the high price of nearly six hundred Spirit Stones.

These people probably had the same idea as Lu Yuanding.

Thinking of buying the Talismans to copy, not for self-defense.

If it were for self-defense, the price would seem unworthy.

After auctioning off ten Thunder Fire Talismans, Lu Changsheng’s other ten Second Rank Vajra Talismans were not immediately auctioned off.

The auction items were not one better than the next, varying in quality to stir the atmosphere in the venue.

"Senior, here are the Second Rank Thunder Fire Talismans you bid for."

Before long, a Law Enforcement Cultivator escorted a maid, delivering the Talismans inside a talisman box to the VIP platform.

Lu Yuanding had Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge check the Talismans to make sure there were no problems, and then paid five hundred and fifty Spirit Stones.

Then he handed the Talismans over to Lu Changsheng.

Telling the two of them to ponder over them often, to study the patterns and flows of Spiritual Power in them.

They could also take them back to ask the Fourth Elder for guidance when the time came.

"Ladies and gentlemen, next up for auction are the high-level spiritual birds reared by the Hundred Birds Lake Bai Family..."

At this moment, Yu Ningjun started to introduce several spiritual birds taken out from a Spiritual Pet Bag.

Seeing this, Lu Changsheng, who had been sitting leisurely, also took an interest.

He had long wanted to replace his Iron Feather Eagle with a flying mount.

But he had no way to do so.

The flying mounts available on the market, nearly all of them were about the level of the Iron Feather Eagle.

And were not significantly better.

Although he had obtained an egg of the Green Jade Luan Bird,

This thing was after all stolen goods.

Who knew when it would hatch and grow big enough to serve as a mount.

"Purple Scaled Eagle, middle grade middle stage bloodline with the strength of a First Grade, Middle Stage creature, whether for combat or as a flying mount, both make it a decent choice. Starting bid three hundred Spirit Stones...."

"Golden Crowned Crane, middle grade high-quality bloodline with the strength of a First Grade, Middle Stage creature, starting bid five hundred Spirit Stones..."

"Black Winged Eagle, high rank low-quality bloodline with the strength of a First Grade, Middle Stage peak creature, starting bid one thousand Spirit Stones..."

Yu Ningjun introduced the three types of birds.

"Father-in-law, are there any other flying spiritual birds coming up?"

Lu Changsheng, looking at the Golden Crowned Crane and Black Winged Eagle on the stage, inquired of Lu Yuanding.

He remembered that some items for auction had been announced earlier in the venue.

However, he had not looked closely.

If there were no other fine spiritual birds later on, he thought the Black Winged Eagle seemed acceptable and could make do.

"There seems to be another Black Winged Eagle, later on, in the late First Grade."

Lu Yuanding replied upon hearing this.

Then he turned to Lu Changsheng to inquire, "What, you want to buy a spiritual bird?"

"I often run back and forth, and I feel it would be more convenient to have a better flying mount."

Lu Changsheng nodded and spoke truthfully.

"Changsheng, there’s no need to waste money in this regard."

"The Iron Feather Eagle is already considered a decent flying mount."

"This Golden Crowned Crane and Black Winged Eagle, although faster than the Iron Feather Eagle, aren’t significantly faster."

"It would not only be a waste of Spirit Stones but the cost of upkeep is also much higher than that of the Iron Feather Eagle."

"Just for the sake of travel, it’s not worth wasting this money."

Lu Yuanding spoke out, persuading Lu Changsheng not to waste money.

The Iron Feather Eagle was a flying mount the Lu Family got through their cooperation with the Bai Family.

Not only was it affordable, but it was also good in terms of flying speed and daily expenses, making it the first choice for value for money.

"Alright."

Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng thought it over and decided to give up on changing his flying mount.

He disdained the Iron Feather Eagle, not for its slow speed but because every time it encountered an enemy, it would tremble with fear.

Yet, given his own situation, the Black Winged Eagle would tremble just as much if he encountered a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

If he ran into a minor Qi Refinement practitioner, he could annihilate them single-handedly without needing to worry about his mount.

"It seems I need to go all out in one step; otherwise, the late First Grade Black Winged Eagle doesn’t mean much to me."

"And spending thousands of Spirit Stones on a flying mount would make me seem too extravagant."

Lu Changsheng mused to himself.

After watching the auction for so long, he also felt his usual spending seemed a bit high.

Or rather, Spirit Stones came too easily to him, leading to a habit of spending lavishly.

In this auction, items worth over a thousand Spirit Stones were already considered very expensive.

Many people might have just a few hundred Spirit Stones on them.

The auction continued in an orderly manner.

Talismans, Elixir Medicines, Magic Artifacts, Spiritual Beasts, secret techniques, Cultivation legacies, and more all appeared.

The remaining ten Second Rank Talismans that Xiao Xiyue had consigned were also auctioned during this time.

But seeing that Lu Yuanding was ready to bid again, Lu Changsheng proactively made a bid himself.

After all, as a Talisman Master, bidding for a Talisman in such a situation was also justifiable.

He also didn’t have the heart to let Lu Yuanding spend more on his account.

Over five hundred Spirit Stones was not a small expense for Lu Yuanding either.

As time ticked by, the auction finally came to a climax.

"Next, we come to the last and final highlight of this auction."

"I’m sure all the guests here have been eagerly awaiting this..."

Yu Ningjun spoke solemnly, causing everyone in the venue to perk up.

Many came just for these climax auction items.

Soon, maids holding trays covered with red cloth appeared on stage.

"Our first climactic auction item is a Foundation Establishment Spirit Object—the Earth Fire Spiritual Liquid."

"Helpful for dealing with the Mana Barrier among the three obstacles of Foundation Establishment, especially for cultivators with a Fire Attribute Technique... The starting price is one thousand five hundred Spirit Stones."

Yu Ningjun lifted the red silk from the first tray, revealing a crystal-clear glass bottle on a white jade tray.

Through the glass bottle, one could see a flowing red liquid inside.

"Foundation Establishment Spirit Object!"

"Earth Fire Spiritual Liquid!"
