Chapter 67: Steel Feathered Eagle!

“Lu Changsheng, you came to pick up the Steel Feathered Eagle, right?” 

Lu Changsheng’s intention was obvious as soon as Lu Bo saw him arrive.

He looked at the robe Lu Changsheng was wearing. 

Although the robe looked like ordinary brocade clothes after the spiritual light had faded, if you looked closely, you could still see the difference in the craftsmanship of the fabric compared to ordinary clothes.

“Yes, Lu Bo, I’m going to Jiulong Market in a few days, so the Fourth Elder asked me to come to you to pick up a steel-feathered eagle.”

Lu Changsheng nodded with a smile.

“Jiulong Market is a good place, not far from Qingzhu Mountain, and the security is also good.”

“When you’re young, you should get out and see more of the world and gain experience,” Lu Bo said with a smile and nodded.

He took out a yellow leather pouch and a yellow copper token and handed them to Lu Changsheng, saying, “This is your steel-feathered eagle.”

“The spirit animal pouch works just like a storage bag, and the beast control token allows you to easily communicate with the steel-feathered eagle and give it orders.”

“You haven’t ridden this kind of steel-feathered eagle before, so you should familiarize yourself with it beforehand.”

“I’ll take you outside to familiarize yourself with it.”

Lu Bo continued to speak.

“Thank you for your efforts, Lu Bo.”

Lu Changsheng nodded, took the spirit animal bag and the beast control token, and looked at them.

It was the first time he had to deal with such things.

Before, he had considered buying a spirit pet pouch for the Nine Netherworld Hound.

Some members of the Lu family heard this and looked at Lu Changsheng with surprise and envy. 

One of them asked aloud, “Brother Changsheng, are you going out to practice?”

The Steel Feathered Eagle is a flying mount of the Lu Family, and only a few selected family members and elders can apply to use it when they go out.

“Yes, I’m going to Jiulong Market in a few days,” Lu Changsheng replied with a smile, not hiding anything. 

After all, it was no secret.

“Hiss!” 

“Hiss!” 

“Hiss!”

Upon hearing this, the members of the Lu family looked at Lu Changsheng with even more envy.

In families like the Lu Family, which are cultivation families, when the younger members reach a certain age and strength, they are arranged to go out and gain experience. 

This is not only for their growth, but also to contribute to the family.

Only by going out to gain experience and seek opportunities can there be a chance to achieve the Foundation Establishment . 

Otherwise, most of the younger members with average talents would have no hope of reaching that stage in their lifetime. 

The family provides training by sending them to different markets to work. These markets vary in quality. 

Jiulong Market, for example, not only has a good environment, but is also close to Qingzhu Mountain, which makes it an excellent choice. 

However, only a few outstanding young members are sent to Jiulong Market for training. 

Some of the less fortunate ones are even sent to new countries. 

They were surprised to learn that Lu Changsheng not only had a steel-feathered eagle as his mount, but was also sent to Jiulong Market for training. 

Such a treatment is truly enviable.

However, considering that Lu Changsheng is a first-level medium-grade talisman master, they understand why they can’t envy him. 

Becoming a medium-grade talisman master is a significant achievement. 

Even becoming a low-grade talisman master would offer good treatment.

“Sigh, next year I will also go for training, but I don’t know where I will be sent for training.”

“In my opinion, as long as I’m not sent to a new country, I can go anywhere.”

“The worse the environment and the more dangerous the place, the more opportunities there are. Given our talents, we have to take risks if we want to reach Foundation  Establishment.”

“That’s right. Jiulong Market has a good environment, but it’s too comfortable and lacks opportunities.”

“But how many people can succeed by taking risks? I only have an eighth-grade spirit root, so I don’t think about starting a business. In the future, like Lu Changsheng, I’ll be content to take multiple wives and concubines.”

Some members of the Lu family couldn’t help but discuss their future. Although they were dedicated to cultivation, they were still a little uncertain about their future.

Lu Bo led Lu Changsheng to an empty area and said, “Lu Changsheng, you can get used to it here.”

Lu Changsheng nodded and looked at the spirit animal pouch and immediately sensed a steel-feathered eagle with iron-black feathers inside.

He moved his mind slightly and opened the spirit pet pouch. 

The steel-feathered eagle flew out, transformed into a black streak of light, and landed in front of him. 

It stood over a meter tall, its feathers shimmering in the sunlight and looking very powerful.

Lu Changsheng could sense from the Beast Control Token that the Steel Feathered Eagle’s emotions showed some fear towards him.

“This steel feathered eagle has been tamed and is very gentle. You can  just ride it directly and use the Beast Control token to command it with your mind.”

“Be careful at first – don’t fly too fast, too high, or too far.”

Lu Bo reminded him from the side.

“Okay.”

Lu Changsheng nodded, cast a lightness technique on himself, and leaped onto the back of the steel-feathered eagle. 

He first crouched on the eagle’s back and gripped its black iron-like feathers tightly with both hands. 

Then he used the beast control token to give the steel-feathered eagle an order.

“Take off!”

Immediately, the steel-feathered eagle flapped its wings and soared into the sky. Lu Changsheng was surrounded by a gust of wind so strong that it was hard to keep his eyes open.

However, the next moment, his robe activated a wind formation, emitting a soft glow and dispersing the strong winds, transforming them into a gentle breeze.

A few members of the Lu Family nearby heard the commotion and looked in the direction of the noise. They saw Lu Changsheng riding on the steel-feathered eagle and couldn’t help but feel incredibly envious. After all, this was a flying mount.

For low-level cultivators, a flying mount not only made traveling more convenient, but also made them stand out.

“So this is what flying feels like!?” 

Lu Changsheng held onto the steel-feathered eagle tightly, feeling a mixture of fear and excitement. This feeling was completely different from flying in an airplane in his previous life.

He didn’t let the steel-feathered eagle fly too high. Falling from such a height would be too dangerous for someone at his Qi Refining Fourth Stage level.

The reason why the steel-feathered eagle could be used as a flying mount by the Lu Family was that it could fly very steadily. Combined with the wind-transforming effect of his robe, Lu Changsheng felt extremely stable.

After riding for a while, Lu Changsheng gradually relaxed and adapted to the ride, loosening his grip and sitting comfortably on the eagle’s back, allowing the steel-feathered eagle to fly through the air with him.

After flying around for a few circles, Lu Changsheng instructed the steel-feathered eagle to land, as Lu Bo was still waiting for him below.
