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

Chapter 2228: Chapter 737: Auction Gains, Peach Blossom!

"I seem to have quite a fate with the Goddess Palace..."

Lu Changsheng remained calm, not paying too much attention to Shen Wanzhao’s identity and situation.

Although he had treated her before, the two didn’t have much interaction, like mere acquaintances crossing paths, so it couldn’t be considered a life-saving grace.

Therefore, revealing his identity wouldn’t gain more gratitude from the Goddess Palace, but only complicate matters by letting others guess he came from the Great Dream Marsh, as the Master of the Great Dream Immortal City.

Qin Yunning and Shen Wanzhao needed to maintain order in the Immortal City, so after a few pleasantries, Lu Changsheng went with Shen Yiren and others to rest at the inn of the Goddess Palace, waiting for the auction to begin.

"Third Palace Master."

As they were about to reach the inn, a young man with cascading black hair, magnificent posture, and noble aura approached, smiling at Shen Yiren.

Although he looked young, the touch of gray at his temples and the depth in his eyes revealed that he was not young.

"Island Master Cao."

Shen Yiren smiled gracefully, slightly bowing to the young man in front of her.

Island Master Cao?

Lu Changsheng had previously made a rough inquiry into the forces of the Starry Sky Sea, and he quickly matched this name with one piece of information.

Cao Ting, the Master of Lingling Island, a cultivator at the peak of Core Formation!

Seeing this Island Master Cao look at Shen Yiren with undisguised admiration and affection in his eyes, Lu Changsheng understood that he was yet another admirer of Shen Yiren.

"No wonder this Third Palace Master doesn’t like to go out often, and even when she does, she wears a light veil and hat."

As a handsome man who attracts attention wherever he goes, Lu Changsheng could deeply sympathize with Shen Yiren’s troubles.

Just like when he went out, he had to use disguise and camouflage to conceal his charismatic aura.

Otherwise, he would be noticed, paid attention to, and even approached wherever he went.

The two exchanged a few simple words.

Shen Yiren smiled gracefully and politely, her demeanor reserved yet her gentle smile and voice gave others a strong impression of her being approachable.

After Cao Ting left, Shen Yiren transferred her voice to Lu Changsheng, saying, "Island Master Cao has been stuck at the peak of Core Formation for many years, always collecting Nascent Soul Spiritual Objects and Supreme Treasures for Transcendence, and he possesses quite a few treasures in this regard."

"If Fellow Daoist Xuanmu has Nascent Soul Spiritual Objects or Upper Class Spiritual Materials to exchange, I can introduce you later for a trade."

Though Nascent Soul Spiritual Objects can be used by anyone.

But if the cultivation technique and the attributes of the spiritual object are not well-matched, it affects the efficacy.

Therefore, rare treasures like Nascent Soul Spiritual Objects are mostly traded for other items, especially by cultivators at the peak of Core Formation, who rarely sell them publicly, but usually trade with others.

"Then I’ll trouble the Third Palace Master."

Lu Changsheng did not refuse.

Though he wasn’t short of Nascent Soul Spiritual Objects, if there were suitable spiritual objects or fine Heaven and Earth Spiritual Materials, he wouldn’t mind trading for a few.

After checking into the inn, everyone began to move freely. Lu Changsheng did not stay by Shen Yiren’s side, wandering alone around the Immortal City.

Due to the ten-year auction being held, many merchant guilds and large shops were offering some high-end spiritual materials.

Of course, these materials were genuinely overpriced, making it almost impossible to purchase them at market price.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lu Changsheng purchased many advanced materials, disposing of some of his illicit goods in return.

During the process, he even traded one Middle Grade Magical Treasure and six Third Rank Talismans for a Coagulation Crystal Elixir.

Though he wasn’t short of Coagulation Elixirs.

He had previously obtained three Jade Marrow Gold Ganoderma from the Hidden Abyss Secret Realm.

But as the saying goes, Coagulation Elixirs are hard currency, and one can never have too many.

"Indeed, a high-level auction held once every ten years is quite lively, you can even easily acquire Coagulation Crystal Elixirs."

This trip was quite rewarding, putting Lu Changsheng in a great mood as he eagerly anticipated the auction the day after tomorrow.

...

On the third day at noon, the once-in-a-decade high-level auction of Penglai Immortal City was held as scheduled.

This auction was the most luxurious one Lu Changsheng had participated in since he started cultivating.

Without being brought into the venue by a Core Formation cultivator, one wouldn’t qualify to enter if they were below Core Formation.

As an Honorary Elder of the Goddess Palace, Lu Changsheng and others, along with Shen Yiren, arrived at a suspended VIP hall to attend the auction.

Though calling out bids too much might make the cultivators from the Goddess Palace, such as Shen Yiren, aware, but it would also attract attention outside, causing trouble.

After waiting for an hour, the auction officially commenced.

The high-level auction, not all auction items were at the Core Formation level; there were still quite a few rare items at the Foundation Establishment Stage.

After all, whether Core Formation cultivators or Nascent Soul True Lords, they all have juniors.

"Azure Abyss Python Egg, Earth Grade Middle Bloodline, lives in the deep sea, not only has formidable combat power but is also good for lurking, and reconnaissance... starting bid of ten thousand Spirit Stones."

Though the Lu Family possesses many Heavenly Rank demon beast cubs, most of the spirit beast eggs and demon beast cubs available for purchase are still High Rank and Earth Rank bloodlines.

"Twelve thousand Spirit Stones!"

"Fifteen thousand Spirit Stones!"

"Twenty thousand Spirit Stones!"

Due to the practicality of the Azure Abyss Python, it was quickly bid up to twenty thousand Spirit Stones.

"Twenty-two thousand."

Though this Azure Abyss Python was of no use to Lu Changsheng, the Blackwater Dragon Dao Soldier of the Lu Family had too low a foundation and lacked Water system spirit beasts of Earth Grade bloodlines.

The Azure Abyss Python before him was quite good.

Although it didn’t have a dragon bloodline, the Flood Dragon Blood that Lu Changsheng acquired early on would come in handy.

"Hmm?"

Shen Yiren and the others beside him were somewhat surprised, not expecting Lu Changsheng, a late-stage core formation great cultivator, to bid for a spirit pet with an Earth Grade bloodline.

"Hehe, I’m currently researching the path of beast taming and want to use this for some experiments."
