Chapter 280 – Auction Begins, Heaven and Earth Longevity Technique Practiced!

Chapter 280 – Auction Begins, Heaven and Earth Longevity Technique Practiced!

In the blink of an eye, more than a month passed.

With the Red Lotus, Lu Miaoyun’s cultivation teaching for her children at home was much simpler.

However, with the Red Lotus, not all sons and daughters practiced top level techniques.

Most of them were still practicing subtle level techniques, or even advanced techniques.

Because for most people, if they are not gifted and very suitable, forcing them to cultivate the side door level, or the authentic level of this top level of gongfu, even if they get started, they are also very reluctant, inefficient, and the loss is not worth the gain.

During these times, Lu Changsheng didn’t have any arrangements for Xu Ruyin.

Let her also be like a maidservant, serving tea and water, rubbing shoulders and rubbing baths, and flirting with nothing to make the boring days more fun.

Since the Red Leaf Valley Place Market’s auction was about to open.

On this day, Lu Changsheng brought his wife Lu Miaohuan and Qu Zhenzhen, his sons and daughters Lu Pingan, Lu Xianzhi, Lu Quanzhen, Lu Qingsong, and Lu Wangshu to the Red Leaf Valley Marketplace to attend this auction.

Because of Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaogao’s prestige, and the workshop market’s preheating for most of the year, during this period of time, the Red Leaf Valley workshop market also had many more cultivators and was much more lively.

“You guys go hang out by yourselves.”

Lu Changsheng said towards holding his daughter, Lu Wangshu, towards the Lu Pingan brothers and the others.

Mt. Bihu has been semi-closed for the past three years or so, and none of the sons or daughters have been out of the house.

Now that it’s rare to go out, it’s natural to let them roam free.

Moreover, after more than three years, Xiahou Wuyi, who had been vigilant and worried, hadn’t moved, and Lu Changsheng had planned to unlock the state of the sealed mountain and let some of his sons and daughters go out.

After all, if Xiahou Wuyi didn’t show up, it was impossible for him to just be like this, keeping his children locked up in the family.

Many of the family’s businesses, too, are gradually needing to let their sons and daughters go out and start taking care of them.

Moreover, in these few years, through the collected talisman-making materials, he had warmed up more than a dozen rare third-order spirit talismans with the talisman-raising method.

At that time, life-preserving talismans can be planted for some of the sons and daughters who are away.

“Yes, Father!”

“Thanks, Father!”

The brothers responded towards Lu Changsheng.

Lu Xianzhi and Lu Ruyi had lived in the Red Leaf Valley Marketplace for a short while in their early years, while they introduced their older and younger siblings to the marketplace.

Lu Changsheng, on the other hand, wandered around the marketplace with his wife and concubines, checking out his own business stores.

At this moment, he was walking in the marketplace, and countless cultivators on the road were showing respect, worship, envy, and admiration towards him.

Like many young girls, female cultivators, see Lu Changsheng eyes look forward to flow, simply dripping out of water.

If he was willing now, he was afraid that if he beckoned, there would be many female cultivators willing to come to his door to become concubines.

It wasn’t that he was charming again.

He has always been restrained about the charisma he exudes all the time.

But with the rise in fame and status, his whole charisma, too, has risen a level.

Lu Changsheng came to the Peaceful Symbol Hall.

Under Gao He’s management and his reputation, the Peaceful Talisman Hall, nowadays, was the number one spirit talisman store in the Red Leaf Valley Place.

“Old Gao, it’s been hard on you all these years, if you’re ready to retire in the future, you can come to my Bihu Mountain.”

Lu Changsheng saw his once close friend Gao He and spoke out.

The two had known each other for more than twenty years, and Gaohe was now in his sixties, much older, with gray hair and many wrinkles on his face.

The original round face has lost a lot of weight, but you can vaguely see the richness of the original.

“Thank you for your kindness, proprietor.”

Gao He looked at the youthful, handsome and dusty green-robed man in front of him and said in a respectful voice.

He had rarely seen Lu Changsheng over the years.

But as he continued to age, every time he saw Lu Changsheng and learned of the other party’s situation, he was overwhelmed with emotion.

Who would have thought that the son-in-law of the Lu Family, who had once bragged and chatted with himself and exchanged talismanic paths, would now become a party elder.

After chatting briefly about the situation of the next store, Lu Changsheng left with his wife and concubines.

Upon seeing Lu Miaoge, Lu Changsheng spoke out and inquired, “Sister Miaoge, how’s your collection of materials for the Ruoshui Vase and the Taiyi Talisman going?”

“Now that the materials for the Ruoshui Vase have been assembled, the materials for the Taiyi Talisman are still two short.”

Lu Miaogao said softly.

However, she still needed to hire a refiner if she wanted to create an Intrinsic Spirit Weapon.

“I’ll build it for you when the auction is busy.”

Lu Changsheng spoke out.

Because of the gongfu inherited from the system, he also grasped an understanding of the Upper Goodness and Water Skill’s innate spirit weapon build.

It could help Lu Miaogao create spirit weapon embryos.

“Good~”

Lu Miaogao was a bit shocked when she heard this, but she still chose to believe Lu Changsheng and nodded her head in response.

Five days later, the auction officially began.

Lu Yuanzhong, Bai Yunyang, and the Xu Clan’s ancestor, among many other surrounding family forces, and quite a few Foundation Establishment loose cultivators came to the Red Leaf Valley Marketplace to participate in this auction.

Because the auction had been warming up for so long, several big clans had taken out quite a few good things.

Lu Changsheng also took out some second-order talismans as the finale.

“Greetings to Mountain Lord Lu! Mrs. Lu!”

“Fellow Daoist Zhao, Fellow Daoist Lin, Fellow Daoist Li, Fellow Daoist Xiao.”

Lu Changsheng brought his wife, holding his daughter Lu Wangshu, and greeted the Foundation Establishment Ancestors of the other family powers, making polite small talk.

During the process, he had seen Xu Renguang.

There was a bit of sadness on the other’s brow.

Through small talk, Lu Changsheng’s heart was struck with wonder when he learned that the other party had sneaked out because of his granddaughter Xu Ruyin.

After all, his granddaughter, Xu Ruyin, was now working as a maidservant in her own home.

“Thank you all seniors, Taoist friends come to support the scene, in my Lu Quanzhen (Bai Yujun) have the honor to preside over this auction wish you all can buy your favorite things”

After the auction was almost full, a man and a woman walked onto the auction stage.

The man was in his twenties, dressed in a green brocade robe, with an elegant and handsome face, and narrow and deep eyes.

The woman was eighteen or nineteen years old, dressed in a gorgeous white dress, with a slender figure and a beautiful, sweet appearance.

Nowadays, the four great families were pretty much led by the Bihu Mountain Lu Family, so this auction was also hosted by someone sent by Lu Changsheng.

So Lu Changsheng picked down from several of his sons and daughters and let his son Lu Quanzhen preside over it.

As for Bai Yujun, she was the daughter of the Bai family of the Bird Lake.

It was also Lu Changsheng who felt that the entire time he was in full charge of his own family, it seemed a bit not so good.

Let the White family also arrange for someone to show up, just to make up a man and a woman.

“Husband, this little girl looks quite compatible with Quan Zhen.”

Next to her, Qu Zhenzhen saw her son and the Bai family’s daughter on the stage, and her face showed excitement.

She has been urging her son Lu Quanzhen to get married.

But her son avoids her every day, causing her to try to set him up when she sees him getting close to any woman.

“Huh.”

Lu Changsheng didn’t want to get involved in this topic.

Because if he answered a couple of sentences, Qu Zhenzhen would definitely be pampered to let himself go and do the thinking work for Lu Quanzhen.

He, as a husband and a father in the middle, was also in a dilemma.

“Mother, brother, he doesn’t want to get married, if you say something, he avoids you again, besides it’s still early.”

Next to her, Lu Cai Zhen wrapped her own mother’s arm and spoke for her brother.

After all, Lu Quanzhen was a bit serious on weekdays, but for her several blood siblings, she could be described as very caring.

“What do you mean it’s still early, your brother Yun is a year younger than Quan Zhen and has three children!”

“And you’re not too young to be like your brother.”

Qu Zhenzhen said with some aggravation.

Lu Cai Zhen sniffed, her little head shrank, and she immediately stopped talking, lest the fire get to her.

Next to them, Lu Miaogue and Lu Miaohuan saw this scene and both guffawed.

Looking at Lu Quanzhen, who was presiding over the auction on the stage, Lu Miaohuan also couldn’t help but think of her eldest son, Lu Qingshan.

Compared to her younger son Lu Qingsong, who was a bit more honest, she still favored Lu Qingshan, who was usually more mischievous.

After all, this son was mischievous, but he had a lot of daily joy and would often cheer her up as his mother.

Not to mention she hadn’t seen this son in almost five years.

“Well, Joy, what’s wrong.”

Lu Changsheng keenly noticed that his wife Lu Miaohuan’s mood was suddenly a bit low.

“Nothing.”

Lu Miaohuan returned to her senses slightly and said softly.

Although she wanted to visit her son at the Golden Sun Sect in Yue, she knew that the family situation today was such that Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaogao simply couldn’t leave.

Lu Changsheng held her long, white palm and didn’t say anything.

Knowing that Lu Miaohuan was missing her son Lu Qingshan.

Over the years, Lu Miaohuan had missed this son from time to time.

“The first item of this auction, the ‘War Beast Puppet’, was created by the Lu Family of Bihu Mountain for my research, it is a first-ranked product that can be used for attack and defense, with excellent speed, and is also inscribed with a number of spells.”

At this moment, Lu Quanzhen had already started to introduce the first auction item.

This one was precisely the puppet created by the Bihu Mountain Puppet Workshop.

It’s just not ready for mass production at the moment, and it’s used for publicity and to make a name for itself.

“Quan Zhen is very good, and he showed an organized performance for his first time hosting an auction.”

Lu Miaogao spoke out in praise.

“Quan Zhen is really good in this aspect, originally I was going to let Xian Zhi come, but his character is too easy to be constrained and timid in this kind of occasion.”

Lu Changsheng leaned back on the soft chair and nodded.

Next to her, Qu Zhenzhen, as a mother, was full of happiness when she heard her son being praised.

This son, other than not listening to her as his mother, was indeed very provincial and made her proud.

Especially in terms of treating her younger siblings on a regular basis, it often reminded her of her own brother, Qu Changge.

Time passed little by little, this auction was divided into three sessions and was held for a total of three days before ending, the scale could not be said to be small.

However, the Red Leaf Valley Place Market, in the end, was only an auction organized by a few Foundation Establishment Families, and the grades of the auction items were limited.

Lu Changsheng was not in a good position to bring out items that were too rare.

For example, the treasure map that was ready to be auctioned before was also abandoned after some thought.

Otherwise, if he just took out a Foundation Establishment Pill and publicized this kind of treasure map, he was afraid that the auction would be ten times more lively.

After the auction, Lu Changsheng and the other three had long since discussed opening up some welfare regulations to the marketplace to try to leave some of this wave of traffic behind.

Meanwhile, after the auction ended, Lu Changsheng and the ancestors of other family forces, the Foundation Establishment loose cultivators, had a trade fair.

Although he didn’t have what he wanted, he had put together the two materials that Lu Miaogao had used to refine the Intrinsic Spiritual Artifact ‘Taiyi Talisman’.

“Father-in-law, how is the matter of building the foundation at home so far.”

When Lu Changsheng saw Lu Yuanding, he spoke out and asked about the foundation building at Green Bamboo Mountain.

“The family spent a lot of money to beg for a copy of the ‘Earth Fire Bane’ not long ago.”

“Mu Ping is a Fire Spirit Root and has switched to the Green Wood Yan Yang Technique, so this Earth Fire Bane is more suitable for him.”

“And Mythic Wind is having second thoughts about backing down because of what happened before, and is planning to go out and put up a fight on his own.”

Lu Yuanding said with a slight sigh.

He was also very torn about these two people building a foundation.

Lu Miaofeng’s fourth grade spiritual root, having had one foundation building experience, the probability of breaking through to foundation building was obviously a few points greater.

However, because of the previous foundation building failure, Lu Miaofeng was at risk of having a heart demon and was under too much pressure, fearing that he would fail again and let down the family’s expectations.

Moreover, compared to Lu Miaofeng, Lu Muping was only forty years old, much younger.

“Uh-huh.”

Lu Changsheng nodded and didn’t bother interfering with anything.

After all, the chances of the two breaking through to Foundation Establishment were half a catty, and the Green Bamboo Mountain side was more concerned than him.

With the auction completely over, Lu Changsheng was also ready to take his wife and children back to Mount Bihu.

“Father.”

At this time, Lu Quanzhen expressed to Lu Changsheng that he wanted to go out to practice and venture into the world.

“Going out on a field trip?”

Lu Changsheng sniffed and frowned slightly.

He had known for a long time that this son had a heart to go out into the world.

If it wasn’t for the establishment of Bihu Mountain and being called home by himself, he would probably have run outside a long time ago.

“Wait until you break through the sixth level of Qi Refining.”

Lu Changsheng looked at the son in front of him and slightly mused.

He could understand if his son and daughter wanted to go out to experience and didn’t want to settle down in the family.

After all, most of the children of the family are clear, if they are settled in the family, do not go out to practice and wander, unless the talent is extraordinary, or this life is probably not expected to build the foundation.

Even if Bihu Mountain is now in a condition that is far superior to Green Bamboo Mountain, Bird Lake, Centipede Ridge, and even the Yu Shui Xu Family, these family forces, but they are not able to cultivate many of their sons and daughters to the Foundation Establishment.

At most, they would be able to cultivate them to the late stage of Qi Refining, and they would have to rely on themselves to build the foundation.

And Lu Quanzhen clearly saw that.

He knew that he had a bad spiritual root, only an eighth grade spiritual root, so he had planned his life long ago.

Only in Lu Changsheng’s opinion, the cultivation level of the fifth level of Qi Refining was still a bit low.

After the sixth level of Qi Refining, his son would have to go out and plant a life-preserving spirit talisman for him himself.

“Thanks, Father!”

When Lu Quanzhen heard this, he immediately responded with a respectful voice.

He knew that if his father answered, then the matter would be considered settled.

“All this time to prepare your mother’s mind more, don’t run away without saying a word when the time comes.”

Lu Changsheng patted his son’s shoulder and said.

Eagles always have to fly, if not for this son has his own opinion ideas, want to go out to break through, in fact, his heart is quite partial to the master of the family to this son.

Like the current character of Lu Pingan, Lu Xianzhi, and Lu Yun, they are not very suitable for the position of Bihu Mountain family head.

“Father, as you know, if I talk to Mother, she will definitely not agree, so I can only work hard for you.”

Lu Quanzhen’s handsome face revealed a helpless and bitter smile.

“Alas, for your mother, just coax her more, don’t keep hiding, the more you hide, the more she misses it.”

“If you really can’t, just say that you’re going out on this trip to experience, and also to see if you can meet your beloved woman.”

Lu Changsheng shook his head and said.

He also had no shortage of headaches from Qu Zhenzhen urging Lu Quanzhen to get married.

“Yes, child knows.”

Lu Quanzhen’s face smiled, making the corners of his eyes appear narrow.

The outline of his face was seven times similar to Lu Changsheng’s, but his eyebrows were inherited from his mother, especially when he smiled.

After returning to Bihu Mountain with his concubines and children, Lu Changsheng briefly explained and arranged some affairs at home and the situation of his children before returning to Sumeru Cave Heaven.

“Duke.”

Xu Ruyin was dressed in a fiery red dress with a delicate and absolutely beautiful face, and when she saw Lu Changsheng, she immediately said with a respectful face.

“Well, I met your grandfather on my trip to the auction, and she was worried about your situation.”

Lu Changsheng said with a light smile on his face.

“Grandpa.”

Xu Ruyin’s delicate body trembled violently when she heard this.

After being in the Sumeru Cave Sky for so long, the most worrying thing for her was the situation at home.

She lowered her eyebrows and said, “Thank you for informing me, sir.”

“When you left home, did you say when you were going back?”

Lu Changsheng’s voice was warm as he took her slender snake-like waist into his arms and inquired.

This behavior, the tone of concern made Xu Ruyin’s heart tremble.

If she didn’t know the other side of Lu Changsheng, she couldn’t help but be attracted to him if she got along like this.

Sometimes she even wondered if the outcome would have been different if she had chosen to take the initiative to marry Lu Changsheng instead of going through the stealing method.

“No.”

Xu Ruyin’s petite body was a bit taut, and with a docile face, she leaned in front of Lu Changsheng’s chest, letting his sturdy and powerful arms wrap around her.

She knew that if she wanted to curry favor with Lu Changsheng, she had to behave well and obediently in front of him.

“I assume you have life signs, soul lamps, and other items at home?”

Lu Changsheng sat down on a side bamboo chair, wrapped his arms around her shapely body, and used two fingers to entwine the hanging fiery red crystalline hair.

Xu Ruyin’s crystal soft hair was very comfortable to touch, and he played with it from time to time.

And in this more than a month of conditioning, the other party also gradually will cicatrizate active rubbing his palm, like a docile kitten general, a sense of accomplishment.

Let’s just say that it’s sort of a man’s nature to bully women.

“Yes.”

Xu Ruyin said softly.

Despite the current action behavior and humiliation, she sadly found herself actually growing accustomed to it.

“Since there is a life tag and a soul lamp, there will be no worries at home.”

Lu Changsheng said with a light laugh.

After slightly flirting with Xu Ruyin for a while, he entered the Everlasting Palace’s cave and began to build a spirit weapon embryo for Lu Miaogue.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, half a year passed.

On this day, Lu Miaoyun routinely came to the back mountain of Lingxiu Cliff.

She took out the formation order that Ling Zixiao had given her and walked into the formation, looking at the Spirit Bright Treasure Tree in front of her.

“Heaven and Earth Longevity Method, Refine!”

Lu Miaoyun sat down in front of the Spiritual Brightness Treasure Tree and pinched her hands together, refining the Spiritual Brightness Treasure Tree in front of her with her body’s spiritual energy.

It’s better to say refinement than fusion.

Because under the previous year or so of scrubbing, she had already established a connection with the Spirit Bright Treasure Tree, and the two were almost one.

She could even meditatively sense the emotions of this Spirit Bright Treasure Tree.

Now was the time to completely refine this Spirit Bright Treasure Tree, into one’s own innate spirit root, and the two of them would become one.

In as she refined the Spiritual Brightness Treasure Tree, and the Spiritual Brightness Treasure Tree also a stream of Qi surged into Lu Miaoyun’s body.

“Well, what’s going on?”

Lu Miaoyun suddenly felt her spiritual energy pouring out uncontrollably and being swallowed by the Spirit Bright Treasure Tree.

In the past, she was the one who nourished and refined the Spirit Brightening Treasure Tree with her spiritual energy.

However, at this moment, the Spiritual Brightness Treasure Tree was actively devouring the spiritual energy in her body, causing her face to turn white.

As if Lu Miaoyun realized something, she immediately took out a spirit stone from her storage bag to restore her spiritual energy.

At the same time, he took out a bottle of spirit liquid and poured it to the Spirit Bright Treasure Tree.

“Buzz–“

Just as Lu Miaoyun’s spiritual energy was almost sucked dry by the Spiritual Brightness Treasure Tree, a mysterious and incomparable throb surged through her heart, causing her entire body to become light and penetrating.

“Hoo hoo hoo!”

A raging and surging spiritual energy came from the Spiritual Brightness Treasure Tree and diffused towards Lu Miaoyun, enveloping her entire being and causing the countless heaven and earth auras in the surrounding area to also roll in and enter her body.

“Boom!”

In an instant, Lu Miaoyun’s body shook violently, and a breeze swept around her.

Her multi-year bottleneck from the sixth level of Qi Refining to the seventh level of Qi Refining was directly broken at this moment.

But it didn’t stop there, the Spirit Bright Treasure Tree still had a rich grass and wood origin pouring into her.
