Chapter 67: Iron Feathered Eagle!

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

Uncle Lu, upon seeing Lu Changsheng arrive, immediately understood his purpose.

He glanced twice at the magical robe on Lu Changsheng’s body.

Although the robe’s spiritual light had dimmed, it looked no different from regular fancy attire.

However, upon closer inspection, the fabric and craftsmanship revealed some differences from ordinary clothes.

“Yes, Uncle Lu, I need to head to Jiulong Market in a couple of days, so the Fourth Elder asked me to come to you to get the Iron Feather Eagle.”

Lu Changsheng nodded with a smile.

“Jiulong Market is a nice place, not far from our Qingzhu Mountain, and it’s safe.”

“As a young person, you must venture out, see the world, and gain some experience.”

Uncle Lu nodded with a smile and said.

He handed a yellow leather bag and a yellow copper token to Lu Changsheng and said, “This is your Iron Feather Eagle.”

“The Spirit Pet Bag works the same as a Storage Bag. This beast tamer token allows basic communication and command issuance to the Iron Feather Eagle.”

“You’ve probably never ridden this type of Iron Feather Eagle before, you need to get familiar with it beforehand.”

“Let me take you outside to get acquainted with it.”

Uncle Lu continued.

“Thank you, Uncle Lu.”

Lu Changsheng nodded, taking the Spirit Pet Bag and the beast tamer token in both hands.

This was his first contact with such items.

Previously, he considered buying a Spirit Pet Bag for the Nine Abyss Mastiff.

But he thought it unnecessary since he wasn’t going out, so he decided to save the money.

Furthermore, Lu Changsheng hadn’t planned on bringing the Nine Abyss Mastiff to Jiulong Market.

Currently, the Nine Abyss Mastiff is still a first-stage early Spirit Beast and would not be particularly useful if taken out.

It’s better left at home as a playmate for the children.

Soon after, Uncle Lu led Lu Changsheng out of Qingzhu Valley to a spacious area.

There, several Lu Family disciples were practicing spells and even trying to fly with their swords.

Immortal cultivators at the third layer of Qi Refining can attempt sword flight once they can wield a Flying Sword.

But it’s just a taste of what’s possible.

To really fly on a sword, one must reach the Late-Stage Qi Refining.

At that point, the internal spiritual power can support short-distance flights.

A specialized flying Artifact would also be needed, otherwise the spiritual power consumption is too high.

“Uncle Lu, Brother Changsheng.”

“Brother-in-law, Uncle Lu.”

Seeing Lu Changsheng and Uncle Lu, several Lu Family disciples greeted them.

“You all carry on, I’m here to get Changsheng familiar with the Iron Feather Eagle.”

Uncle Lu nodded with a smile towards the disciples.

The disciples, upon hearing this, looked at Lu Changsheng with surprise and envy.

One of them asked, “Brother Changsheng, are you going out for training?”

The Iron Feather Eagle is a Lu Family flight mount, only available to select family disciples and elders when traveling.

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

Lu Changsheng nodded and smiled, not hiding the fact.

After all, it’s not a secret.

“Hiss!”

“Hiss!”

“Hiss!”

The disciples, upon hearing this, looked at Lu Changsheng with even more envy.

In the Lu Family, an immortal cultivation family, sending disciples out for training after a certain age and power level not only benefits the family but also helps find opportunities for Foundation Establishment.

Without training, most disciples with average talent would never hope to establish a foundation.

The family arranges training by assigning work in various markets.

Some markets are good, others not so much.

Jiulong Market is an excellent destination, not only for its good environment but because it’s close to Qingzhu Mountain.

Only a few outstanding disciples are assigned to train at Jiulong Market.

Those less fortunate might be sent to develop some spiritual lands.

The fact that Lu Changsheng gets to train outside, with an Iron Feather Eagle as his mount, and at Jiulong Market, makes one envious indeed.

But considering that Lu Changsheng is a First-Tier mid-grade Talisman Master, they know this kind of envy will get them nowhere.

Even just becoming a low-grade Talisman Master would bring significant benefits.

“Sigh, I’ll have to go out for training next year as well. I’m not sure where they’ll send me.”

“As long as it’s not to pioneer a spiritual land, I don’t mind.”

“The harsher and more dangerous the environment, the more opportunities there are. To hope for Foundation Establishment, we must take risks.”

“True, Jiulong Market is nice, but too peaceful with few opportunities.”

“How many have succeeded, really? I’m merely an Eighth-Tier Spirit Root. Foundation Establishment is out of my reach. I’ll be content marrying multiple wives like Lu Changsheng.”

Some Lu Family disciples talked about their future.

Though focused on cultivation, they were uncertain about the future.

Uncle Lu brought Lu Changsheng to one side, away from others, and said, “Lu Changsheng, get accustomed here.”

Lu Changsheng nodded, examining the Spirit Pet Bag, and sensed inside it a hawk with iron-black feathers.

With a thought, he opened the Spirit Pet Bag.

The Iron Feather Eagle soared out, landing in front of him. It was over a meter tall, its feathers shimmering in the sunlight, appearing very powerful.

From the beast tamer token in his hand, he sensed that the Iron Feather Eagle felt somewhat fearful of him.

“This Iron Feather Eagle has been trained to be docile. Just ride it directly and use the beast tamer token to command it.”

“Be careful not to fly too fast, too high, or too far initially.”

Uncle Lu reminded from the side.

“Alright.”

Lu Changsheng nodded, casting a lightening spell on himself, and easily jumped onto the eagle’s back.

He first sat crouched, tightly gripping its iron-black feathers, then commanded the eagle via the beast tamer token.

“Takeoff!”

Immediately, the Iron Feather Eagle flapped its wings, quickly soaring into the sky.

Winds roared around Lu Changsheng, making it hard for him to keep his eyes open.

But the next moment, the wind formation within his robe activated, emitting a gentle glow, transforming the fierce winds into a soft breeze.

Nearby, the Lu Family disciples noticed the commotion and looked over.

Seeing Lu Changsheng riding on the Iron Feather Eagle, they were filled with envy.

After all, it’s a flying mount.

For low-tier cultivators, having a flying mount is not only convenient for traveling but also quite impressive.

“So this is what flying feels like!”

Clutching the Iron Feather Eagle tightly, Lu Changsheng felt both nervous and excited.

This feeling was entirely different from flying in a plane in his past life.

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

Otherwise, falling would be too much for his Fourth Layer of Qi Refining cultivation.

The stability of the Iron Feather Eagle as a chosen flying mount for the Lu Family was evident. Its flight was steady.

Coupled with his robe’s wind-filtering effect, Lu Changsheng felt extremely stable.

After riding around for a while, he gradually relaxed, releasing his grip and sitting cross-legged on the eagle’s back, letting it carry him through the sky.

After a few laps, Lu Changsheng directed the eagle to land.

After all, Uncle Lu was still waiting below.
