Chapter 68: Going Out for the Second Time!_1

“Not bad, Lu Changsheng, you’re adjusting quite quickly,”

“Some people are scared of heights and need several days to get used to their first flight.”

Lu Bo said with a smile after watching Lu Changsheng land.

“Lu Bo, do you know if this Iron Feather Eagle can carry two people when flying?”

Lu Changsheng asked, looking towards Lu Bo.

He felt that the Iron Feather Eagle could carry two people without any problems, but he still wanted to ask for confirmation.

After all, he planned to take Xiao Qing to the marketplace in a few months.

“This Iron Feather Eagle is a first-stage initial-level Demon Beast, not to mention two people, it can carry three,”

“However, with more people, the speed and endurance will both decrease, especially when traveling long distances,”

Lu Bo said so.

He added, “Remember to take good care of this Iron Feather Eagle. Feed it twice daily with ordinary raw meat, about thirty pounds per meal.”

“Here is a bottle of Spirit Nourishing Pills; if you’re in a hurry and don’t have time to feed it, just give it one Spirit Nourishing Pill.”

“Okay, I’m going back first. You can stay here and continue to train, get more used to it,”

“From our Qingzhu Mountain to Nine Dragons Market, it takes two full days of flight on the Iron Feather Eagle.”

As Lu Bo spoke, he took out a porcelain bottle.

“Thank you, Lu Bo. Then I’ll continue to get familiar here,”

Lu Changsheng nodded in thanks, took the Spirit Nourishing Pills, and after Lu Bo left, he leapt back onto the Iron Feather Eagle to familiarize himself with flying.

It was his first time flying, and he found it refreshingly fun.

An hour later, Lu Changsheng was more or less used to the Iron Feather Eagle.

He was able to stand directly on the eagle’s back and clasp his hands behind him.

The vigorous wind, softened by the wind-resisting effect of the vestment robe, turned into a gentle breeze that lightly moved his hair and robe, giving him an exceedingly dashing appearance.

Feeling that he had about had enough, Lu Changsheng let the Iron Feather Eagle land and jumped off its back.

“If only I could switch to a white crane, it would look so much better.”

Looking at the Iron Feather Eagle in front of him, Lu Changsheng thought that with his appearance and temperament, it would be better if the Iron Feather Eagle were a fairy crane.

But having a flying mount was already good enough, and there was no need to ask for more.

Practicality was paramount.

Good looks were something to pursue only when conditions allowed.

He put the Iron Feather Eagle back into the Spiritual Pet Bag and thought about the Green-Face Sword given to him by the Fourth Elder.

He tried to take it out and play with it.

But without anything to use as a reference for attack, he couldn’t really feel the sharpness of the Green-Face Sword.

“A middle-grade Magic Artifact is a bit of a strain for me to use now, I can’t wield it for long.”

After playing around for a while, Lu Changsheng put the Green-Face Sword away.

The higher the quality of the Magic Artifact, the more Spiritual Power it consumed.

At his current Fourth Level Energy Refinement, he could only wield a middle-grade Flying Sword.

If he were given a high-grade Flying Sword, he wouldn’t have the Spiritual Power to support it.

Of course, this was normal, as the higher the quality of a Flying Sword, the greater its power.

Lu Changsheng didn’t continue experimenting and returned the Green-Face Sword to the Storage Bag, then headed home,

Thinking that after he went to the Nine Dragons Market, he could sell the Flying Sword and Flying Daggers he had obtained at Bullhead Mountain for some money.

Now that he had the Green-Face Sword, he no longer needed those.

As he reached his house, Lu Changsheng turned on the Spirit Light effect on his vestment robe.

Although this effect was very flashy, Lu Changsheng had to admit that the Spirit Light indeed looked good, quite eye-catching.

This time, heading home naturally meant showing off to his wives and concubines.

Sure enough.

The group of wives and concubines, seeing Lu Changsheng in this attire, all had sparkling eyes and voiced their admiration.

This gave Lu Changsheng’s masculine pride a nice boost of satisfaction.

He thought to himself that on the trip to Nine Dragons Market, he could also buy a vestment robe for each of his wives and children.

That way, they wouldn’t fear the change of the seasons.

However, thinking of his numerous wives and children, even if it was just one robe per person, it would be too expensive for him.

So he temporarily dismissed the idea.

He decided to wait until he had more money and sold all his Talismans before considering it.

That night.

A group of wives and concubines came to tenderly serve him, unanimously telling Lu Changsheng not to remove his clothes.

This made Lu Changsheng internally sigh that men and women were indeed alike.

But the Magical Robe was not afraid of being spoiled, and with the upcoming trip to Nine Dragons Market and a long separation ahead, Lu Changsheng obliged his wives and concubines’ little request, indulging them thoroughly.

Two days later.

“Alright, I’m off now.”

“Miaoyun, if anything happens at home, just send a message to me.”

Lu Changsheng, rubbing his slightly sore lower back, bid farewell to his wives.

“Husband, rest assured, your concubine will manage the household affairs properly.”

Lu Miaoyun hugged Lu Changsheng affectionately and spoke softly.

“May your journey be smooth, husband.”

“Husband, you must take care of yourself when you’re alone outside.”

“Husband, why not let your concubine accompany you? That way, you’ll have someone to look after you.”

“Husband”

The other wives also spoke up, their expressions filled with reluctance.

After many years of living together and having had several children, their affection for Lu Changsheng was naturally deep.

After all, aside from having married a few more, and his fondness for having children, Lu Changsheng truly left nothing to be desired in terms of treating his wives and children, an absolute good man indeed.

And in this world, having multiple wives and concubines was considered entirely normal.

Besides, Lu Changsheng only had a dozen or so, which couldn’t be considered many.

“Alright, alright, it’s not like I’m going to a faraway place. I’ll come back whenever I can, so keep your spirits up,” he reassured them.

After bidding farewell to his wives and children, Lu Changsheng headed to the main hall.

He spoke to Lu Miaoge, who was dressed in white, her hair like a cascading waterfall, and her demeanor as elegant as a fairy. She was waiting silently while sipping tea, “Sister Miaoge, let’s go.”

Lu Miaoge nodded, stood up and walked out shoulder to shoulder with Lu Changsheng.

“Husband and the eldest missus look so well matched walking together.”

“They both seem to exude an air of immortality.”

“Could it be that husband is going to the marketplace and working together with the eldest missus…”

“What are you thinking, silly girl; since husband has married Sister Miaoyun, how could he possibly be involved with the eldest missus?”

Several wives, watching Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge walk side by side like a perfect pair, felt a sense of crisis in their hearts.

Seeing their figures walk away, Lu Miaoyun also became slightly lost in thought.

“Do you feel a bit reluctant to leave?”

Lu Miaoge could see a hint of reluctance on Lu Changsheng’s face and said softly.

“A little bit, making Sister Miaoge laugh at me,” he said with a nod.

Although he could return every month, there was indeed a bit of reluctance in his heart this time departing.

Perhaps, that’s the taste of home.

Where there’s always something to miss.

“This issue was raised by me and Madam Lu. We mentioned not having much time to manage the Spiritual Talisman Shop, so that’s why we’re troubling you,” Lu Miaoge said with a hint of apology.

“No problem, I also want to go out and have a look.”

“One can’t always stay inside without ever leaving.”

Lu Changsheng laughed.

Though he felt a bit of reluctance, it was just the sorrow of parting.

It wasn’t something too difficult to bear or too hard to let go of.

The aspiration of a great man should be like the Yangtze River rushing eastward to the sea, and not linger in the soft land before one’s eyes.

His trip to the Nine Dragons Market was not only to manage the Spiritual Talisman Shop but also for other matters.

There’s no need to elaborate on taking immortals and beauties as concubines. It was imperative to master the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art.

Otherwise, after a few more days of recent life, his back really wouldn’t be able to withstand it.

Moreover, Lu Changsheng felt it was necessary to acquire a manual of bedroom techniques, a Dual Cultivation Secret Technique.

Not to mention using it to enhance his cultivation level, at the very least, he could learn and improve his combat power, reducing deficits.

“The business of the Spiritual Talisman Shop won’t keep you busy. If you miss home, you can come back often.”

“Besides, I will also be in the Nine Dragons Market for the coming period, so you can come back anytime if there’s any matter,” said Lu Miaoge, with a tone as gentle as water.

“Alright,” Lu Changsheng nodded without saying much else.

“From Qingzhu Mountain to the Nine Dragons Market, the journey spans about eight thousand miles.”

“However, if we ride the Iron Feather Eagles and fly straight north, we can reach the Nine Dragons Market in two days,” she explained.

“Just have your Iron Feather Eagle follow mine,” she said.

After they left Qingzhu Mountain, Lu Miaoge released an Iron Feather Eagle from her Spiritual Pet Bag, speaking in a gentle voice.

The Iron Feather Eagle was likely a flying mount uniformly purchased or raised by the Lu Family.

“Alright,” Lu Changsheng nodded, also releasing the Iron Feather Eagle from his Spiritual Pet Bag, and mounted it.

Soon after, the two Iron Feather Eagles flapped their wings vigorously and quickly ascended into the sky, heading towards the Nine Dragons Market.

“There shouldn’t be any unexpected dangers on the road, right?” Lu Changsheng thought to himself as Qingzhu Mountain grew smaller and smaller.

“It should be fine, the young miss goes back and forth every month without any incidents,” he reassured himself.

“And with my Talisman Treasure and so many talismans by my side, as long as I don’t encounter a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator, there shouldn’t be any problems,” Lu Changsheng shook his head, dismissing the fears and worries that came unbid.
