Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family-Chapter 2026 - 534: Auction Gains, Peach Blossoms! (part 2)

Lu Changsheng chuckled softly.

As the process went on, whenever he saw impressive heavenly and earthly treasures, Lu Changsheng would bid, surprising those around him, who did not expect this Elder Xuanmu to be so wealthy.

However, considering his identity as a Third Rank Superior Grade Talisman Master, it was understandable.

"Sea Coral Awakening Aromatic, not only can it enhance awakening, but it also has some effect on heart demons. Starting bid, one hundred thousand spirit stones!"

As time passed, the auction reached its final stages, and the items became more high-end and rare.

Third Rank Lifespan Extension Pills, Tribulation Transcending Treasures, Nascent Soul Spiritual Objects, and other rare items prompted fierce competition among various forces.

This piece of [Sea Coral Awakening Aromatic] was categorized as a heart tribulation item, with some effect on the heart demon tribulation within the Nascent Soul Tribulation.

Although the effect was minimal, far inferior to Lu Changsheng’s [Demon Warding Detox Pill], it still attracted many competitors vying for it.

Lu Changsheng also offered a bid.

Yet, such heart tribulation items drew too many people and forces into the competition. .

He had already spent significantly at the start, and to spend such a huge amount now was truly astonishing.

This made Lu Changsheng sigh inwardly; besides someone like him with deep pockets, other loose cultivators, even if they saw rare heavenly and earthly treasures, couldn’t possibly compete with the forces.

Even if they managed to win the bid, they might provoke enemies and face the risk of being robbed and killed.

However, when a piece of auxiliary medicine for the Infant Transformation Elixir appeared, Lu Changsheng still placed a bid and won it.

Even though he presently couldn’t gather enough resources for the Infant Transformation Elixir, since he had so many wives and children in his family, it would be useful in the future. It’s not a bad idea to collect some now when the opportunity arises.

"Elder Xuanmu’s wealth is truly impressive~"

In the VIP room, a female cultivator, around thirty to forty years old, with elegant features and mature charm, looked at Lu Changsheng with a smile in her eyes.

"Elder Xue Mei, you’re too kind. Ye has spent years saving, but it’s all gone today."

Lu Changsheng shook his head and said, noticing a different kind of meaning in Elder Xue Mei’s eyes.

As he knew, this Elder Xue Mei had some achievements in the way of Yin and Yang Dual Cultivation.

Being a Late Stage Core Formation Cultivator, handsome and elegant, and with outstanding wealth, it’s clear that she had taken a liking to him.

But Lu Changsheng had no interest in such female cultivators.

Even if they offered to have children for free, he would still weigh the potential losses.

Not only Elder Xue Mei, but also several others in the VIP room, including Shen Yiren, had a different gaze towards Lu Changsheng.

The reason was simple.

The wealth of a cultivator often represented their strength and foundation!

If one didn’t have extraordinary strength, it would be impossible to accumulate such substantial wealth.

As a Nourishing Life Technique cultivator, Lu Changsheng possessing such immense wealth seemed unbelievable.

"It seems that Elder Xuanmu’s divination art is likely not just newly entered into the third rank..."

Shen Yiren thought to herself.

As the Third Palace Master of the Goddess Palace, although she was gentle, kind, and approachable, she was not naive.

She knew that cultivators in the outside world would often hold back a bit.

In front of her, Lu Changsheng, who practiced the Nourishing Life Technique and wasn’t skilled in combat, yet possessed abundant resources, probably gained them through fortuity.

As a Third Rank Divination Master, gaining far more opportunities than others was normal; otherwise, no one would spend their life studying the art of divination.

But merely stepping into the third rank hardly accumulates such opportunities.

Lu Changsheng displayed a very casual and natural demeanor.

His extravagant bidding was partly due to actual needs and partly to show off a bit.

The main issue was that the Third Palace Master had too many admirers.

Although his previous performance was outstanding, capturing the beauty’s heart with that alone was somewhat challenging.

Therefore, after a bit of thought, he decided to display a bit more, attracting Shen Yiren’s curiosity.

When a woman becomes increasingly curious about you, eager to explore and understand more, then whatever you do next becomes much easier.

...

Before long, the auction concluded.

Lu Changsheng’s harvest was quite substantial.

Not only did he win a piece of auxiliary medicine for the Infant Transformation Elixir, but he also acquired a rare piece of Fourth Rank Spiritual Material, which could upgrade Qian Zhuyan’s puppet body.

Lu Changsheng and his companions did not leave Penglai Immortal City immediately.

In the upcoming time, many Nascent Soul Cultivators would hold private trading events and other activities in the Immortal City.

This is also one of the reasons Lu Changsheng came here.

The next day, Lu Changsheng and Shen Yiren attended a trade fair organized by Penglai Island.

There weren’t many cultivators, only about twenty, each displaying their treasures and materials, clearly stating the items for trade.

"Vajra Sharira!?"

Lu Changsheng noticed a third-rank Shariputra among the displayed treasures and was intrigued.

The Shariputra was not only useful for his daughter Lu Linghe but also beneficial for his cultivation of the "Brahman Demon True Saint Technique."

Immediately, Lu Changsheng stepped forward, recognizing it as a third-rank superior grade Shariputra, spending a Nascent Soul Spiritual Object and asking the other party to make up a small difference, thus trading for this Vajra Sharira.

"In the past, I, Ye, acquired a top-level secret technique which requires the assistance of the Vajra Sharira for cultivation. Today, it seems my persistence has paid off..."

Lu Changsheng noticed the surprise in Shen Yiren’s eyes, curious about why he was willing to trade so much for the Shariputra, and explained to her through a sound transmission.

"I see."

Shen Yiren slightly nodded, not asking too many questions.

At this trade fair, Lu Changsheng obtained a Vajra Sharira, a heavy water essence, several rare materials, and exchanged for more second and third-tier skill inheritances.

Even though the Lu Family has a substantial heritage of the Hundred Arts. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

However, as long as these skill inheritances are not duplicates, they can be transformed into the family’s foundation, achieving mutual understanding.

"Hmm!?"

As the trade fair concluded, on their way back, Shen Yiren raised her jade-like hand, and a token appeared. Her incomparably beautiful face suddenly became solemn.

"Third Palace Master, what’s the matter?"

It was Lu Changsheng’s first time seeing such an expression on Shen Yiren’s face.

"There’s a robber cultivator causing trouble outside the Immortal City."

Shen Yiren glanced outside the Immortal City and softly spoke.

Even though Penglai Island is a top force in the Starry Sky Sea, it still has rival forces, and encountering trouble from robbers is inevitable.

Especially when Penglai Immortal City just hosted a high-rank cultivator auction held once every ten years, rival forces, Nascent Soul True Lords, might intentionally cause trouble to damage Penglai Immortal City’s reputation and traffic.

"Would you like me, Ye, to accompany the Third Palace Master for a look?"

Seeing Shen Yiren preparing to check the situation, Lu Changsheng immediately spoke.

Although he was now a cultivator practicing the Nourishing Life Technique, not skilled in combat.

But if Shen Yiren was going, and if he didn’t, it would indeed affect his reputation positively.

Moreover, he had enjoyed many benefits of the Goddess Palace recently. Now that Penglai Immortal City faced an unexpected situation, it wouldn’t be right for him to do nothing.

"It’s trouble for Daoist Xuanmu."

Shen Yiren didn’t refuse, sending messages to several people, then quickly flew out of the Immortal City with Lu Changsheng to check the situation.

Not far from the Immortal City, Lu Changsheng saw a hundred miles away, there was a thunderous shout and the fluctuation of combat from a Late Stage Core Formation cultivator.

Robber cultivators acting at such a distance was a blatant provocation to Penglai Immortal City.

If Penglai Immortal City couldn’t respond with thunderous might, it would certainly affect its reputation and prestige later.

"Bold robber cultivator, how dare you commit robbery outside the Immortal City!"

Upon seeing the situation, Shen Yiren gently tapped her Spiritual Pet Bag, and her mount, the Five-Colored Spirit Deer, appeared, emanating the Qi Mechanism of a Third Rank Late Stage, then surrounded by five-colored radiance, flew towards the direction of the battle.

Even though she cultivated the Nourishing Life Technique and wasn’t good at combat, with her Core Formation Peak cultivation level, her entire body full of magical treasures, her combat power was not to be underestimated.

Seeing this, Lu Changsheng slightly frowned, feeling something wasn’t right.

Penglai Island hosting such a high-level auction would definitely have a Nascent Soul True Lord presiding. In this situation, which robber cultivator would dare cause trouble within this range!?

He subconsciously pinched his fingers for divination.

Within the dimness, there was a force resisting, isolating the heavenly secrets of this place.

"There is a diviner interfering with the heavenly secrets of this place, someone is deliberately targeting Penglai Island!"

Lu Changsheng was suddenly enlightened, realizing the problem, intending to return to the Immortal City to watch the changes unfold.

But seeing Shen Yiren on the Five-Colored Spirit Deer, he slightly pondered, calculating his fortune.

Despite the interference with the heavenly secrets, as a Third Rank Top Level Divination Master, Lu Changsheng still obtained a rough divination symbol.

No misfortune, no fortune.

But it showed strong abilities through changes, conflicts, and activities, attracting the opposite sex, leading to peach blossoms!

"Peach blossoms..."

Lu Changsheng looked at Shen Yiren ahead, squinting slightly, casting out a flying magical treasure, and breaking through the air, ready to see the situation.
