Chapter 67: Chapter 67: Iron Feather Eagle!_1
Translator: 549690339
“Lu Changsheng, you’ve come to collect the Iron Feather Eagle, haven’t you?”
Lu Bo recognized Lu Changsheng’s intention as soon as he saw him.
He glanced at the magical robe Lu Changsheng was wearing.
Although after the spiritual light dimmed, the robe looked like ordinary fine clothing.
But upon close inspection, differences could still be discerned from the fabric and craftsmanship compared to regular clothes.
“Yes, Lu Bo, I will be heading to the Nine Dragons Market in a couple of days, so the Fourth Elder sent me to collect an Iron Feather Eagle from you,” Lu Changsheng said with a smile, nodding.
The Nine Dragons Market is good, a fine place. It’s not far from Qingzhu Mountain and it’s safe,”
“When you’re young, you should go out and see the world, to gain experience,” Lu Bo said, nodding with a smile.
Lu Bo took out a yellow leather bag and a coppery yellow token, handing them to Lu Changsheng, “This is your Iron Feather Eagle.”
“The Spiritual Pet Bag works the same as a Storage Bag, and this Beast Control Token will allow you to communicate simply with the Iron Feather Flying Eagle and issue commands,”
“You haven’t ridden such an Iron Feather Eagle before, so you should get used to it in advance.”
“Let me take you outside to get accustomed to it,” continued Lu Bo.
“Thanks, Lu Bo,” Lu Changsheng replied with a nod as he took the Spiritual Pet Bag and the Beast Control Token, examining them.
This was the first time he had encountered such things.
He had previously thought about buying a Spiritual Pet Bag for his Nine Netherhound.
Later, he considered it unnecessary since he was not going out, thus he didn’t want to waste the money and planned to buy one later.
Moreover, Lu Changsheng had no intention of taking the Nine Netherhound with him to the Nine Dragons Market.
The Nine Netherhound was still a First Grade initial stage demon beast, not of much use if taken outside.
Better to keep it at home to continue being a playmate for the children.
Thereupon, Lu Bo took Lu Changsheng out of Qingzhu Valley to a spacious open area.
Several Lu Family disciples were here, practicing their spells and even attempting Sword Flight.
Cultivators at the Third Level of Energy Refinement could manipulate a Flying Sword and thus attempt Sword Flight.
But it was just for the experience of playing around.
To truly perform Sword Flight, one must reach the Energy Refinement Late Stage.
At that time, the internal spiritual power would be sufficient to support short-distance flight.
And a specific Flying Artifact must be purchased, otherwise, the consumption of spiritual power would still be significant.
“Lu Bo, brother Changsheng.”
“Brother-in-law, Lu Bo.”
Upon seeing Lu Changsheng and Lu Bo, these Lu Family disciples all greeted them.
“Hehe, continue with your practice. I’m here to help Changsheng get familiar with the Iron Feather Eagle,” Lu Bo said with a nod and a smile toward the group.
Upon hearing this, some of the Lu Family disciples looked at Lu Changsheng with surprise and envy.
One of them asked, “Brother Changsheng, are you going out to gain experience?”
Iron Feather Eagles served as the Lu Family’s flying mounts, which only a few members of the family and elders could apply for when traveling.
“Yes, I’m going to the Nine Dragons Market in a few days,” Lu Changsheng nodded with a smile, not concealing his intentions.
After all, this was no secret.
“Sss!”
“Sss!”
“Sss!”
Hearing this, the gaze of the Lu Family Disciples towards Lu Changsheng became even more envious.
In a cultivation family like the Lu Family, once a family disciple reaches a certain age and strength, they’re arranged to go out and gain experience.
It’s not just because they can’t be supported indefinitely, but to contribute to the family.
Only by venturing out for experience and seeking opportunities could one hope for a slim chance to reach Foundation Establishment.
Otherwise, most disciples with average talent had no hope of establishing their foundation in this lifetime.
The experience arranged by the family consisted of sending them to work in various marketplaces.
These marketplaces naturally varied in quality.
Places like the Nine Dragons Market not only had a good environment but also were close to Qingzhu Mountain, making them top-notch destinations.
However, only a few outstanding disciples would be arranged to go to the Nine Dragons Market for their experience.
For the less fortunate, they might even be assigned to pioneer new territories in certain spiritual lands.
They had not expected that Lu Changsheng’s arranged outing would not only provide him with an Iron Feather Eagle as a mount but also send him to the Nine Dragons Market.
Such treatment was simply enviable.
However, knowing that Lu Changsheng was a First Grade Middle Grade Talisman Master, they understood their envy was pointless.
They couldn’t even dream of becoming Middle Grade Talisman Masters; even becoming Lower Grade Talisman Masters would be sufficient for a better treatment.
“Alas, I will also be going out for experience next year. I wonder where I will be arranged to go.”
“In my opinion, as long as it’s not pioneering new lands, it’s all the same everywhere.”
“The worse and more dangerous the environment, the more opportunities there are. With our talent, if we want to establish our foundation, we have to take the risk.”
“That’s right. Although the Nine Dragons Market has a good environment, it is too comfortable and lacks opportunities.”
“But how many can make it through struggle? I’m just an Eighth Grade Spiritual Root; I won’t even think about foundation establishment. I’d be content to take several wives and concubines like Lu Changsheng in the future.”
Several Lu Family Disciples couldn’t help but discuss their futures.
Despite their dedication to cultivation, they too felt a bit lost about what lay ahead.
Lu Bo brought Lu Changsheng to an uninhabited place and said, “Lu Changsheng, you can get used to it here.”
Lu Changsheng nodded, looked toward his Spiritual Pet Bag, and immediately sensed inside a vast eagle with feathers as dark as black iron.
His mental spirit gave a slight flicker, and he opened the Spiritual Pet Bag.
The Iron Feather Eagle turned into a shadow of dark light and flew out, landing in front of him, standing two meters tall with feathers shimmering with a black luster under the sunlight, looking very mighty.
Lu Changsheng could faintly sense the emotions of the Iron Feather Eagle through the Beast Control Token in his hand; it harbored some fear toward him.
“This Iron Feather Eagle has been tamed to lose its wild nature and is very gentle. You can ride it directly. Then, with the Beast Control Token, you just need to give commands with your mental spirit,” Lu Bo said, reminding him from the side.
“Be careful. At first, don’t fly too fast, too high, or too far.”
“Okay,” Lu Changsheng replied, nodding his head. He cast the Light Body Skill on himself and with a leap, he landed firmly on the eagle’s back.
First, he squatted on the Iron Feather Eagle, tightly grasping its black iron-like feathers, then conveyed his command to the eagle through the Beast Control Token.
“Take off!”
Instantly, the Iron Feather Eagle flapped its wings vigorously and soared swiftly into the sky.
Winds howled around Lu Changsheng, making it difficult for him to even keep his eyes open.
But the next moment, the Wind Dispersion Formation in his magical robe was activated, emitting a faint glow, dispersing the howling winds and turning them into a gentle breeze.
The other Lu Family Disciples turned to look over when they heard the commotion.
Witnessing Lu Changsheng seated on the Iron Feather Eagle, their eyes were filled with immense envy.
After all, it was a flying mount.
For low-level cultivators, having a flying mount was not only convenient for travel, but it also made for an impressive spectacle.
“Is this what it feels like to fly!?” Lu Changsheng pondered, gripping the Iron Feather Eagle tightly, feeling both nervous and excited.
This sensation was entirely different from flying in an airplane in his past life.
He did not let the Iron Feather Eagle fly too high.
If he were to fall from a great height, at the Fourth Level Energy Refinement, he wouldn’t be able to withstand the fall.
There was a reason the Iron Feather Eagle was used as a flying mount by the Lu Family—it flew very steadily.
And with the effects of the magical robe dispersing the wind, Lu Changsheng felt extremely stable.
After riding for a while, Lu Changsheng gradually loosened up and became comfortable; he let go of his grip and sat cross-legged on the eagle’s back, letting the Iron Feather Eagle fly through the air with him.
After a few laps, Lu Changsheng had the Iron Feather Eagle land.
After all, Lu Bo was still waiting for him below.
